xx Sorry for the wait! But here's the next chapter! R&R! No flames please! And I really want to thank all of you for actually giving my story a shot. I know I'll mess up a ton or it'll stink sometimes, but thank you very much! xx
"Yep, she and I are together now!" Micchi announced. "Isn't that right Karin, dear?"
"Uh......it sure is....." I stuttered.
"You and...............Him?!?" Jin pointed at us. "When Kazune and I left you were just friends, but now you're boyfriend and girlfriend?!?!??! What the heck happened in those 15 minutes?!??!?!!?" Geez, Jin. Why do you always think like that?.......
"Nothing happened. We just-" I started.
"Just fell in love!" Micchi interrupted and slinked his arms around me.
"Argh! Don't touch her like that! This is unacceptable! My Goddess cannot be going out with you, Micchi! Do something Kazune!" Jin demanded. Kazune looked at us and then back at Jin.
"Whatever Karin and Micchi decide to do isn't any of my business. They can fall in love, go out, and even get married for all I care," he answered indifferently.
"WHAT?!? How can you not care? And wait.....married?!? You wouldn't even care if they got married?!?!?" Jin shouted.
Kazune just sighed and replied, "I'm going to my room." He turned and headed upstairs quietly leaving us with the fuming Jin.
"FINE!" Jin yelled and swiftly turned around. "I'll let this slide for now, but if you so much as touch my Goddess in any way that makes her uncomfortable, I'll hunt you down, Micchi!"
"Jin, you know I would never do that to Karin. I love her," Micchi said in an adoring tone.
"Whatever!" Jin threw his hands into the air. He started walking towards his room, but abruptly turned to face us. "And I'm serious about that hunting you down thing! I will do it!"
"I believe you," Micchi said calmly. He gave an irritated look and walked away.
"Tell me if he hurts you Goddess!" he said as he continued walking to his room. As soon as his door slammed shut, Micchi let out a huge breath.
"Phew, they didn't figure it out," Micchi said relieved. Why would it matter if they found out anyway? I actually think that would've gone better that way.
"Uh........Micchi?" I questioned.
"Hmm? What is it Karin?" he wondered.
"Can you GET OFF?" I asked and pointed to his arms.
"What? Karin, dear, you have to play the part of my girlfriend with people or without!" he exclaimed but did take away his arms.
"I don't even see how this really is going to help? Why didn't we just tell the guys I wasn't available? That would've worked too. Instead of this crazy idea, anyway," I explained.
"Well.......I really don't know!" he beamed. WHAT?!?! HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHY HE CHOSE THIS IDEA OVER THE PRACTICAL ONE?! What is wrong with this guy?
"You don't even know?!" I shouted.
"Well, I suppose I did it because it'd be fun!" he shrugged.
"Fun............?" I asked confused. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN FUN?!"
"You know, fun. Lately it's been pretty boring, so I thought this would be a little fun! I guess we could've just told those guys to leave you be or threaten their lives and hunt them down......but that would be no fun. I do that stuff all the time," he said nonchalant. He threatens and hunts people all the time? He is insane........"Come on, my sweet! Let's go out for a walk!"
"No way."
"What? You're so blunt! How mean!" he whined. "Not even a little walk? Don't you want to spend some time with your boyfriend?"
"No freakin' way," I answered and headed to my room.
"Phooey. You're no fun, Karin," I heard him mutter.
(Kazune's POV)
Why did they all of a sudden start going out? Karin and Micchi? Do they really like each other? ARGH! I'm so confused! Uh! Why do I even care?! What's she to me anyway? I don't understand. I don't understand why I'm so concerned. WHY?! I plopped on my bed to stare at the ceiling. What is Karin to me? I want to protect her and I want her by my side, but what is she really to me?
(Flashback)
"Nope, she was definitely suckish," I replied as I nodded my head with crossed arms.
"Was she suckish or are you jealous?" Micchi whispered in my ear and started jogging to catch up with everyone.
(End Flashback)
"Was she suckish or are you jealous?" What did he mean? "....or are you jealous?" Am I? Do I really like Karin?
"Master Kazune," Q-chan called.
"Yes, Q-chan?" I questioned.
"Dinner is served!" he announced.
"Yes, I'm coming down in a minute!" I hollered. Well, it's not important right now. There are more important things right now. I sat down and watched as everyone took their spots as well.
"Karin, dear, that's not your spot!" Micchi stated.
"What? It's not? I've been sitting here for like a month now...." she replied.
"Yeah, but a month ago you weren't my girlfriend," he said as he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his lap. Ignore it, Kazune. It's none of your business.
"Just because we're going out, doesn't mean we have to sit like this at dinner. I like my old spot better......" she said as she pried his arms off and sat back on her chair.
"I don't understand?! Don't you love me, Karin?!" he pretended to cry.
"Ah, Karin, don't you? Poor Micchi!" Himeka sympathized.
"Himeka! Don't fall for this guy's whining! Just because I don't want to sit on him doesn't me I don't love him!" she shouted. So she does love him.......not that I care.
"Anyway, Karin. You've been with us for a couple months. And I think it's high time that we start your Kami training," I announced to the table.
"Kami training?" she asked confused.
"Yes, moron, Kami training. You need to get stronger and better at controlling your powers. Because at the moment, you suck," I told her bluntly.
"How rude, Kazune!" Micchi scolded. "Don't say that about my girlfriend!"
"Yeah! I saved your sorry butt in the last fight and this is my payment?!" she shouted.
"Karin, that's not it. This training will help you get stronger. You'll be able to fight with us more often. And you won't pass out after a single transformation," I stated.
"Yeah, no offense was intended-" Jin started.
"It was intended," I abruptly interrupted.
"Hey!" Karin exclaimed.
"But anyway, the training is tough, but it's worth it if we can protect people," Jin continued.
"Protect people?" she asked confused. "Isn't the Kami Club only for the school?"
"That's our main purpose, yes. But with great power comes great responsibility," Jin finished.
"You just got that off of Spider Man, you idiot!" Karin shouted and smacked him on the head.
"It is true though, with this power there are many people who try to abuse it. I can understand why people use it for their own gain, but that doesn't give them the right to do it. Sometimes people with these rings don't even care about the people around them and would let nothing get in their way to achieve their goal. And that's where we step in. We protect other people and fight those who would misuse their power. And for that reason, we need to become strong," I explained.
"Protect people? I understand what you're talking about now. I remember," she answered and smiled at me. "I get it. And that's why we have Kami training. I'll become strong just like you guys! Just you wait!" She's too cute. I started to smile. Wait! CUTE? What on Earth am I thinking?!?!
"Yeah, yeah. No matter how strong you are, I'll still be able to whoop your butt, moron!" I exclaimed.
"Oh, yeah, you chauvinistic jerk?! I'll be twice as strong as you in a matter of weeks! You'll see!" she shouted back.
"You can try, but you'll only end in epic failure, moron!" I argued.
"Whatever! You're probably not a strong chauvinistic jerk anyway! You're face is probably what defeats and scares the enemy away! Oh, is that your face or did your neck just throw up?!" she rebutted. Everyone around the room bursted out in laughter.
"OOOOO! Dang! Someone call an ambulance, because you just got burned, Kazune!" Jin shouted.
"Do I smell burnt bacon in here or is that you, Kazune?!" Micchi asked and nudged me.
"WHAT?! How dare you insult this face! It's the sexiest face you'll ever see. Heck, it's the sexiest face on the planet!"
"Sexy? That's what you call sexy?" Jin asked. "Take a look at this face! This is what you call sexy!" We all kept on laughing and banging the table. This is nice. It's okay to stay like this and be happy. I'm actually glad Karin is here. Everyone's lightened up and it seems brighter. We all haven't laughed like this in a long time.
...Next Morning....
"WAIT!" Karin shouted from the bottom of the steps.
"What is it now?!" I asked half way there.
"Just wait! How is climbing up these stairs, and all this running, and all these push ups, and all these sit ups, and TORTURE help me become a better goddess?" she asked.
"All of us who god transform need to be at top physical shape to be strong when we transform!" I answered.
"But I'm exhausted!" she whined. What the heck?! We only did easy stuff!
"Karin, you're pathetic! Don't be so weak! Just finish these steps and we'll stop for today! I'm annoyed to see that your tired after just a little training. Weren't you supposed get stronger than me?!" I taunted. Let's see if that gets her pumped.
"WHO THE HECK SAID I WAS TIRED?!?" she blurted and started sprinting unbelievably fast up the steps. Holy crap! I picked up the pace towards the top as well.
"You won't beat me, Karin!" I shouted and started sprinting too.
"Yeah, you're right! I'll crush you!" she exclaimed. We were both at full speed racing to the top. Then suddenly she slipped. Her eyes widened as she desperately tried to find her footing then the rail to get balance.
"Karin!" I shouted as her fingertips missed the bar by centimeters. For that split second I didn't think, I just moved. I instantly god transformed and dived to catch her. My left hand protected her head and my right hand swooped under her legs. I flew up with Karin in my hands and descended down towards a land of grass. I lowered and gently touched the ground. Abruptly, my ankle twisted painfully the wrong way when I completely lowered.
"Ouch!" I shouted as I lost balance and fell forward. We hit the ground with a big thud.
"Crap dang it, Kazune!" Karin shouted in my ear. "Get off me!"
"Is that any way to talk to your savior?" I asked irritated. I lifted myself, both my palms on either side of Karin's head. Our eyes locked. And we just stayed like that, staring at each other. Uh.....what am I doing? Move. My face lowered towards her. Not that way! Get up! What are you doing?!?!? But my face just kept lowering as our eyes closed and our lips were just centimeters away.
xx uh oh! What's going to happen?! Find out on the next chapter! lol. Don't you just hate cliffhangers? xx
