Chapter 10

Kathryn POV

I yawned as I made my way to school with Karin. Momma and papa were really upset last night and kept me up with their lecturing.

~flashback~

I walked into the house with Karin only to be immediately tackled down. I looked up and saw mamma and papa with glowing eyes.

"Kathryn!" They both yelled as they dragged me to the family room.

"Oh, well I'm dead. Karin, I'll miss you. Tell Ren and Anju that I love them. Get along with grandma for me. I love you!" I yelled just as momma and papa slammed the doors and Karin was out of view.

"Kathryn Maaka! What in the world is wrong with you?! What made you think it was okay to stay out all night and not even give us a word until Anju's bat was told by the Sinclair boy that you were sleeping over!" Momma yelled as she smacked me with her slipper with every word. I fell on the floor really dizzy, feeling like I would pass out.

"S-sorry momma, it was an accident." I stuttered as papa helped me up. I held my head as I sat down and papa crossed his arms.

"Kathryn, what were you thinking?" He asked and I sighed.

"I wasn't. Winner and I were at his house and I got sleepy and I ended up knocking out. I didn't mean for that to happen, but it did." I sighed at the same time momma did.

"Well this had better be the first and last time you make us worry this badly." She said and I nodded.

"Yes ma'am." I saluted and she waved me away.

"Go get some rest." She said and I nodded as I got up but then remembered something.

"Oh, one more thing, I think it'd be best if we kept our eyes on a girl named Tachibana Yuria, she works with me and Karin at the restaurant."

"Why?" Papa asked.

"She gives me a bad vibe. She's always starting at me and Karin and I saw her directly looking at one of my bags the other day." I said and their eyes widened.

"Do you have any idea why?" Momma asked and I shook my head.

"Not a clue, the closest I've got is a theory."

"Well anything's better than nothing." Papa urged me.

"There's a chance she might be the same as Karin. She goes out in the day light and can see bats, but that's a bit of stretch. Other than that, I think she knows or at least has an idea of what we are." I said and they stayed quiet as they looked at each other.

"Hmm, alright. We'll keep an eye out for her, but keep your guard up just in case." Momma said and I nodded.

"I will."

"Alright, go to bed." She dismissed me and I went up to Karin's room. She was already asleep and I took off my uniform as I crawled into bed next to her.

~end flashback~

"Good morning Miss Kathryn!" I heard Winner yell as he popped in out of nowhere.

"Oh, hello Winner." I said smiling. Kenta Usui came out of nowhere as well and held Karin's hand. We waved at them and went our separate ways as usual.

"You look tired." He said and I gave a small smile.

"Yeah, my mamma and papa were pretty upset with me yesterday." I said and he frowned.

"I'm sorry." He apologized and I shook my head.

"Don't be, it wasn't your fault." I said and there was a few minutes of silence.

"Um, Miss Kathryn?" He asked and I looked at him.

"Yes?" I responded. He seemed nervous.

"I was wondering, are you free the day after tomorrow?" He asked and I blinked.

"As in Saturday? No, I don't have anything to do that day, why?" I asked tilting my head and he blushed under my gaze.

"Well, I wanted to ask if you would like to spend the day with me?" He looked away with a tomato red face. I blinked.

"Oh, sure, just tell me when and where." I said with a small blush of my own.

"How about we meet up in front of the park around noon?" He said a bit more excitedly.

"Sure." I said and he grinned. I smiled at his enthusiasm and we went into school. We sat down in class and I blinked as a thought occurred to me.

'Did Winner just ask me out on a date?' My face blushed dark red and steam started puffing out of the top of my head. My head started spinning and I swayed before falling out of my chair and onto the floor with spirals in my eyes.

'A d-date... How embarrassing!'

Karin POV

I blinked as I looked at Kathryn out of the corners of my eyes. She was fine but she suddenly froze and her face turned a dark red. Steam started to practically come out of her head and she swayed a bit. She suddenly fell out of her desk and was on the floor with spirals in her eyes. I quickly kneeled down next to her as someone called sensei.

"A d-date... How embarassing..." She mumbled as she passed out. I blinked. Date?

"Oh, I'll take her to the nurse." I told sensei.

"Alright, just be careful. I didn't know your sister was anemic too." She said and I nodded as I wrapped one of my arms around Kathryn's waist and hitched her arm around my shoulders. I dragged her to the nurse's office without much difficulty, good thing we basically weigh the same.

"Oh, Miss Maaka, I haven't seen you in a while." The nurse said smiling and I sweatdropped.

"I'm actually here because of my sister." I said and she helped me lift Kathryn onto one of the beds.

"Oh my, she's out cold!" She said grabbing some cool towels and a blanket. "You can go back to class now." She said smiling and I shook my head.

"Is it alright if I stay until she wakes up?" I asked and she pursed her lips.

"Fine, but watch the office for me, I have to use the ladies' room." I nodded and she walked out. A few minutes later Kathryn groaned and sat up.

"Where am I?" She mumbled and I sighed.

"We're in the nurse's office, you passed out in class before the lecture even started." I said crossing my arms and she rolled her eyes as she laid back down and looked up at me.

"I thought being anemic was supposed to be your thing?" She said and I smiled.

"Me too. Now, you mind telling me about this 'date' of yours?" I asked slyly and her face went beet red again.

"I have no idea what you're talking about!" She exclaimed as she pulled the blanket over her head and hid herself.

"Aw, c'mon Kathy~ no secrets between twinsies!~" I cooed as I tackled her on the bed and we rolled around a bit.

"C'mon Karin! I said there's nothing going on!" She yelled struggling.

"Then why are you so defensive?" I asked and she blushed.

"I don't even know if it's for sure a date okay!" She yelled and I stopped.

"What do you mean?" I asked and she sighed sitting up.

"Winner just asked if I wanted to hang out on Saturday. I probably doesn't even mean anything." She said and laid back down under the covers.

"Kathryn?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you like Winner?" She sat up with a fire red blush that even I was impressed with.

"Why makes you think that?!" She spluttered.

"It's just... I don't think I've ever seen you worked up over something so small." I said giggling. Aw, Kathryn's growing up~ She blushed looking away.

"No." She muttered childishly but had a pensive look on her face. Aw, so cute!
