Chapter 10: Words
"Today we will be discussing this Friday homework, it will be about an essay about something that is happening in the world, wars, natural catastrophes, economical problems, new big business, etc. it will be done in pairs and I will assign them" the English teacher said to the group and you could hear some awwwn of disappointment. She started calling names and making the pairs until there was only me left, this is what happens when you have an odd number of students.
"Since miss Kondo can't do the work by herself one group must have three, any volunteers?" She said, speaking to the class.
I glared at her, but maybe she didn't realize or didn't care. I heard lost of mumbling and whispers, saying things like "she would only bother us" and "she's completely useless" I frowned, it was hard to ignore doe to extreme silence that filled the room.
"She can be with us" said Mitsukini, breaking the awkward silence. "Very well, work will have minimum five pages and a maximin of fifteen, completely in English and I will NOT tolerate any grammatical errors. Is doe to this Friday and the students who doesn't give the work will have automatically cero, any questions?" The teacher asked and the group kept silence. "Good, now let's open the book in page…" she kept talking but I didn't listened to her anymore.
After that and two more tedious classes it was finally time to eat. Mitsukini, Takashi and I went to the cafeteria and once there we met with the others.
"Hello Saria" greeted Haruhi and I simply waved to her, today was simply not my day, everyone was been rude and judgmental towards me, and that actually did hurt me.
"Are you ok Saria?" Haruhi asked, touching my shoulder. "Yes, I'm ok, sorry I was just distracted, want something is my treat" I asked her, pretending to be just fine. "Ok I'll accept, then can I have…" she ordered and I did too, I payed the food and we went to sit and eat. I wasn't really that hungry but I still ate it all.
"So, what are we going to do for the homework?" I asked, knowing that either Takashi or Mitsukini would answer.
"Today at my house, at seven" Takashi said and I nodded. We kept eating until we all finished and in the remaining time we spend it at the host club. There I sat down in one of the couches and hugged tightly a pillow, I was having mixed emotions, I was angry at the teacher and her judgmental comments, frustrated that what they said was true, sad that I couldn't do anything and confused, Takashi told me that he had feelings for me, and he has barely even talked to be today, not that he talks a lot either way but…
"What's troubling you?" Asked Takashi, startling me a little. I shock my head no, and said nothing. "There's obviously something bothering you" he said, sitting next to me. I looked at his direction, wanting to see him.
"Takashi, are we… going out? And if we are, why? I'm only bother" there was a brief silence. "Not officially, but I do want to go out with you, you are a very special and different girl" he said, honesty clear in his voice.
"I do too what to go out with you but, what about the host club, and and your clients?" I said, overthinking like I always did. Then he took my hand in his and kissed me, shutting me and my thoughts.
"I'm sure, everything will be fine" he said and I believed him, I smiled at him and squeezed his hand a little.
"Ohhhh! Did you saw what I saw!?" Said Hikaru, faking surprise. "No way! That just happened?!" Said Kaoru, following his brothers game. "What, what happened!?" Said Tamaki, but he was truly confused and surprised.
"I believe there's love blossoming in the host club" said Kyouya, smartass as always. "Between who?" Said Haruhi, just as confused as Tamaki, they compliment each other.
"Between Tamaki and Saria-chan!" Screamed Mitsukini, probably jumping or twirling around the room. I shoved my face in the pillow and Takashi probably glared at them cuz there was a silence after that.
~after class and club hours~
Navi helped me get ready to go do the homework in Takashi's house and talked to be while we where at it.
"Miss Saria, I think you need a hair cut, your hair is covering your eyes, they must bother" Navi said, combing my hair. "You are right they do bother, it pokes my eyes, can you cut it short please?" I asked her and she merely responded with a Mmmm.
After a few minutes of hair cutting and styling, Navi was done, I felt it and it was maybe three inches shorter and it felt really nice to have it short once again. I always, since I was 11, had my hair short.
I took a quick shower to eliminate the loose hair. Navi helped me dress up, in a very casual and comfy outfit and she also prepared a lunch box that was probably not necessary but I still grabbed it.
"I'll be back before 11" I said to her, grabbing my book pack and walking to the car where Mario helped me. I gave him the direction and he started to drive.
After like, maybe thirty minutes the car stopped.
"Miss Saria, we have arrived" Mario said and he helped me out. I heard a doorbell and Mario talking.
"Miss Kondo Saria has arrived, please look after her" he said quite serious. "Is ok Mario, I'll be fine" I said tapping his shoulders. In a moment he was gone and I felt a hand hold my shoulder and guide me.
"I like your new hair" Takashi said while lightly ruffling up my hair, and I felt a chill go up my spine, his simple touch did this!? What's happening to you body!?
"Thanks, and hey, I can't see your house but I feel is big, warm and cozy with a very traditional feeling" I said the last part cuz I could hear the sliding paper doors and the wooden floor.
"Thanks, Mitsukini will be late doe to familiar issues" he informed "oh ok" I said. I'm slowly turning into a tiny version of the silent stoic type, talking less and less, at least around him. He guided me to I think was his bedroom, and sat me down in a cushion in front of a table, and he sat down next to me.
"Is it ok if we start without him?" I asked and he answered with mm-mm. He took out the papers and we started to brainstorm any topics.
"How about the discrimination against the disable people?" I suggested and Takashi gave a small sigh. "What? Is my everyday struggle, and is a real world wide problem" I said crossing my arms and he ruffled up my hair.
"Ok, we can do that, and put that teacher in her place" he said pinching my nose and I smiled at him, pointing my thumb up.
We started to make the essay, Takashi wrote while I translated and gave my opinion. In a matter of ten minutes we where done, we only needed Mitsukini's opinion. I rested my head on the table and took a deep breath. I felt something hairy rub against my leg and I jumped, hitting my knee with the table.
"Ooouch, what was that?" I said rubbing my knee to ease the pain. Then something heavy, warm and fluffy walked and laid in my lap, and I slowly petted his fluffy head.
"Takashi, I didn't knew you had a cat" I said to him, still petting the fluffy animal. "I don't, that's tanuki" he said and I stopped petting it for a moment to look at Takashi.
"It's named tanuki or is it an actual tanuki" I asked.
"Is a tanuki" he said quite serious, I kept petting the little fluffy animal and I also heard some chick noises.
"Takashi you have a chick too?" I asked him and he said yes, I new Takashi was an animal lover but I didn't though he would have an oddly pair of animals.
After what felt like an eternity waiting for Mitsukini I stood up and stretched, snapping some bones, then I sat down again.
"Is it ok if I put some music?" I asked Takashi and he accepted. I took my iPod out and pressed play, the first song to come out was Words form Skylar Grey and the memory of the dance my sister taught me came rushing to me.
"Takashi, do you have a room where I could do something, without breaking anything?" I asked and he stood up, helping me up too. He guide me to a another room. "This is the meditation room, you have plenty of space" I thanked him with a smile and told him to take a sit.
I restarted the song and positioned myself, flashback of my sister teaching me how to dance this song protected itself in my mind like a movie and my body moved freely around, with soft, melancholic movements. I could almost feel my sisters touch, helping me in those tricky spins and other moves. Once the song was over my body stopped and the flashbacks too.
"Well, this is a little embarrassing" I said breaking the silence. "I didn't knew you could dance" Takashi said a little surprised. "My sister danced, and she taught me how to, she was an amazing dancer" I said a little sad and I felt a hand held my chin up.
"You are amazing too" I blushed deeply and faked a cough to distract him. "Well if you say so" I said waving the compliment. I didn't noticed when the song changed to cinematic orchestra- to build a home, this song was a shit ton of fun to learn with my sister.
"Hey, do you want to learn how to dance?" I asked him, and after a few moment he accepted.
I once again restarted the song and instructed him what to do in every part, just like my sister did to me. It was a romantic song and it was funny and awkward for my sister and I to learn how to do the duet, mainly because the sing is lots of carrying and lifting and I was always the smallest so she had no problem lifting me up.
But it felt rather different with Takashi, he was much bigger and stronger and his hand glided in my body like he knew every inch of it. Instead of feeling awkward like with my sister, it felt very arousing and sexy. Until the part where I had to jump and wrap myself around him, his face was right in front of mine and I could feel his agitated breath and every muscle in his body. It dint felt weird, it just, felt right. Like our body's where meant to each other, like two puzzle pieces that fitted perfectly.
He then kissed me, more intense than other times, more passionate and sexy, his tongue caressed my lower lip, asking for entrance and I slowly let my tongue meet his. The kiss was deep and passionate but it was very honest, filled with emotions. After a moment we stopped and took a deep breath. He let me down and gave me a last kiss, nothing like the other, a soft and tender kiss.
We then realized it was raining and not only that, it was a thunder storm. And it didn't sounded like it would end soon. " what time is it Takashi?" I asked and a moment later he answered. "Is 10:38" I crossed my arms in thought, I had to go back home soon but I couldn't with this storm.
"You can stay the night here, the storm is not stoping any time soon" he said and guide me somewhere else in his enormous house. It was a bedroom, my own bedroom of course. "There's a bathroom next door and my room is beside this, if you need me" he said and was about to leave when I called him again.
"Ammm… is there…something I could eat?" I said shyly playing nervously with my nails. I ate what Navi made me when we where doing the work. He chuckled a little and guided me to what I think was the kitchen and prepared a nice simple sandwich.
"Mmm, is really good… here, I'll give you the sweets" I said, cupping his face in my hands and kissing him. "Thanks for the sweets" he said in a much deeper and sexier voice that he usually have. I covered his mouth with my hands. "Please don't talk like that, you'll make me sin" I said, part of it was true.
"I'm sorry, my lady" he said, kissing the back of my hand. My inner fangirl died that instant. "Dear Fierce Deity and Lord Majora, have pity of me! Why have you send this sexy demon to make me sin?" I said dramatically, falling into his arms. "But by the goddess I swear, if this demon keeps talking sweet things, I would be up to no good" I said in a sexy voice and getting closer to his lips. This years writing fictional stories paid off.
He held my waist and kissed me passionately, kissing my cheeks and chin, going further down to my neck. Then he stopped, and we took a deep breath. "Let's go to sleep, my lady" he said giving me one last and tender kiss.
