Chapter 9: Hiruma's Rose Part 2
The next night~
'She wasn't kidding about the gold…' Sena sweat dropped, he had a golden body tight dress on, the top was all strings wrapping around his slim arms and neck. Suzuna made him wear long gold earrings, gold bangles, and a gold anklet with charms. Oh and let's not forget the gold heels… Sena just sighed and shook his head. He was wearing one of those curtains, as he would call them, like they do at the barbers.
"Don't move your head; I'm not done with your hair yet!" Suzuna, who had bobby pins clenched in her teeth, swatted Sena's shoulder. Suzuna was in a midnight blue sparkly dress; her white gloves lay next to her.
"Ow! S-sorry…" Sena forced himself to stand still, Suzuna was kneeling on the swivel chair, braiding and twisting and spraying stuff, as Sena would call it, into his hair, she kept Sena's bangs untouched though, saying it's for a natural look. (Sweat drop…)
"So… you guys are coming right?" Sena asked keeping still.
"Yeah, me and the monkey, and Musashi and Mamo-nee" Suzuna now called Mamori Mamo-nee thanks to Sena teaching her and the rest of the crew a few Japanese words, "And the rest paired up with the dancers" Suzuna listed whom was paired up with whom, and commented that they didn't go well together, this and that while Sena daydreamed.
'Now my heart will rest … I wonder if Shin-san will be there' Sena blushed as his heart fluttered once more, totally ignoring the fact that he looked like a goddess with his smooth lightly tan skin, and his glittering golden orbs with his milk chocolate hair. (I want to eat you~)
"There, done, now onto your nails, which gems do you want?" Suzuna asked as she placed the hairspray can and brush down.
"Gems?" Sena blinked as he tried to touch the braids when Suzuna swatted his hand. His hair was so long that even after braiding and twisting into an S shape there was hair long enough for a small ponytail, which Suzuna tied off with gold and emerald bands, and she had inserted various long pins into the bun.
"Yes, gems" Suzuna took on those wax sheets and fan them out like we was she was playing a card game.
"Wow… how do they do that small detail" Sena squinted his eyes.
"A steady hand and good eyes" Suzuna said all knowingly.
"I see…" Sena muttered as he stared at them, he heard the door click open and knew that it was mostly everyone by the sound of all the footsteps.
"Hi Mamori-neechan, Tarou-kun, Kazuki-kun, Kouji-kun, Shouzou-kun, Kurita-san, and Daikichi-kun" Sena said without looking.
"H-how did he do that?" Kuroki asked wondering, not only did he get the people right, he got the order in which they came in right too…
"Your footsteps, but I still can't tell Mr. Hiruma's… it's like there isn't one…" Sena muttered the last part while glancing around wearily.
"Pick one yet?" Suzuna asked.
"Uh…" he looked through the papers but…
"What are you doing?" Mamori asked as she came over.
"Ah, Mamori-neechan kirei" (Pretty) Sena chirped, Mamori was in a light pink body tight calf length dress with a slit, her scarf/sash was white and fluffy, and her hair was up. Sena stared at her dangling earrings that were silver and had hearts at the bottom and were pink. (Pink sapphire… I think.)
"Ah, thank-you" Mamori cheeks flushed as she smiled, "So, what are you doing?" she asked looking down at Sena's hand.
"Uh, I have to choose one of these… things, for my nails" Sena handed them to Mamori; he then heard the others snickered, and sighed down trodden.
Mamori notice this, but she also notice the fact that Suzuna was enjoying herself, and truth be told Mamori kinda wanted to dress him up too. She blushed and said, "H-how about this one, it's simple, and barely noticeable" she pointed to a vine design with two gold dots symbolizing two flowers.
"O-okay" Sena shrugged and nodded and Suzuna got to work, and if Sena moved just one centimeter she would smack him… hard on the back.
By the time she was done Sena was in tears, with Mamori trying to calm him.
"I feel sorry for him…" Juumonji stated, "Mm-mm" they all nodded.
"Um, we should get going before Hir-" Kurita try to tell them but BANG a gun went off just as he was finishing his sentence.
Pieces of spackle and debris fell from the freshly made hole in the ceiling… the guys open a way for the perpetrator. Musashi, Taki, Yukimitsu, Ishimaru, Yamaoka, and Satake followed behind him.
"What's fuckin' taking so long, you woman and your fuckin'-"
"Don't you start that, you're the one who made him dress this way!" Mamori pointed her finger in Hiruma's face, though she was a little weary, who knows if he'd bite it or not…
Silence consumed the room.
"Hicc…" a high pitch squeaking hiccup echoed; everyone turned to Sena who was covering his mouth with both hands… they waited, and it came again, with a vengeance!
"Hiccup!" it made Sena flinch, he stumbled forward. Suzuna helped him stay on his feet.
"Uh, I'll go get water" Yukimitsu offered.
"Uh, than-hicc!" Sena covered him mouth, he slowly put his hands down and said "… you" though very softly.
Yukimitsu just smiled, as everyone tried to force themselves to stop smiling.
"Alright, let's get going already" Sena looked up from his cup, Hiruma was heading toward the door.
"Yes Mademoiselle Sena, I shall be your date!" Taki pulled Sena, almost making him drop his cup.
Hiruma turned sharply and glowered, everyone, except Taki flinched.
"S-Stupid big brother!" Suzuna reprehended her brother with a giant hammer, so that Hiruma's anger will subside, even just a little, it was better than having a dead brother.
"Ow, mai sistah, what did I do wrong?" he asked shrugging when a lump formed on his noggin.
"Because Sena is Mr. H's date… and because he (meaning Sena's a boy) hasn't taken the (I seriously don't know what to call it, so it'll be called cape~) cape off yet" Suzuna said as she clapped for the all the lights to be turn on, and dramatically pulled the thing off Sena, nearly choking him.
"TA-DAH!" she chirped and they weren't expecting much, but damn…
"Ah… Sena y-y-you're" Kurita stuttered sparkly eyed, Musashi and Juumonji gave an approving nod and smirk, Mamori covered her mouth as she squealed. Yukimitsu's eyebrows rose to meet his hairline, Ishimaru blinked while gasping for air like a fish out of water, Toganou lowered his glasses to get a better look, Kuroki mouth 'whoa', and the others gaped.
Hiruma just smirked and step up to the boy, if the sun was out right now, it'd be jealous of Sena.
Hiruma looked Sena up and down like he was undressing him with his eyes. Sena unconsciously pulled the front of the dress down causing the back to ride up thus leading to Hiruma to arch a very amuse eyebrow, Mamori having been awaken from her stupor when Hiruma stepped up to Sena looked between the look in Hiruma's eyes and the fidgeting boy.
"Kurita" Musashi commanded and Kurita cautiously came up behind Mamori and held her back.
Mamori sent a vicious glare directed at poor Kurita, whom just shook his pointy head.
"Alright, let's fuckin' go" Hiruma stated once more, but this time he wrapped his arms around Sena's shoulders and pulled him in as he walked away causing Sena to squeak from abrupt contact. Hiruma smirked triumphantly.
As they walked on Hiruma's hand slipped down Sena's arm and landed on Sena's waist. Mamori whom was one step behind them, fumed.
"God is cruel" Kuroki stated, thus earning him confused looks.
"I mean, look at him" Kuroki thrust his hand dramatically, "if a guy can have curves like that, and look freakin' smokin' hot in a dress… I don't know" he scoffed.
The rest nodded knowingly, Suzuna the most, she was a girl, but she was small for her age, not just in height, but that didn't bother her, what did bother her was the fact that she didn't have as pronounced curves as Sena, a boy. Things got quiet as they trekked outside.
"M-Mr. Hiruma…" Sena muttered.
Hiruma was reluctant to answer, because if Sena had said anything about the position of his hands on his person Mamori would clearly be on his case saying that it wasn't necessary, and all that bullshit he didn't want to deal with right now.
"What…?" he asked about to remove his arm.
"I'm cold…" Sena leaned into Hiruma.
Hiruma turned to the glowing boy, who was looking back at him pleadingly with those warm liquid chocolate (chocolate in the lighting) brown eyes. After tearing his eyes away from Sena's orbs, he did notice Sena was indeed shivering in his heels. Of course being in a dress that came up to his thighs and the top was only strings with no cloak on, he would be cold. They were in New York and it's nearing winter…
"Ah, I forgot your coat!" Suzuna perked up and ran back inside, meanwhile Hiruma took full advantage of the situation wrapping Sena in his arms and pulling him in. Musashi and Juumonji gave him an amused look. Kurita smiled, Mamori fumed, Monta felt bad, Yukimitsu just smiled quietly, Ishimaru seemed confused. Komusubi 'fugo' quietly standing next to him boss, while Yamaoka and Satake snickered.
A few minutes passed and Suzuna came back with a white fur coat, a few spots were tipped with black.
"Uh Suzuna, is that… fur?" Sena asked wearily.
"Don't worry is faux" she explained.
"Good…" he sighed in relief.
"Keh" Hiruma laughed "What are we now, an animal lover, last I remember you were fuckin' scared of everything bigger than a cat"
"…I still am" Sena admitted while flushing from embarrassment as he looked down at his feet, which then made him more beautiful. "It's just… I don't like the fact that I might be wearing something… dead around my body" he stated looking up, again with those pleading eyes.
"Hm…" Hiruma took in the new info, Sena was still afraid of animals, and he didn't like dead things… He inwardly cackled.
Sena shivered thinking it's from the cold, and quickly pulled on the cloak, the limo had finally arrived with the same pissed off long tongue black haired man driving it.
"You better fuckin' get in before I leave without you losers" he hissed.
'Sharp tongue… reminds me of… What was that lizard's name again' Sena wondered as Hiruma got in after Sena had opened the door… (Wasn't it supposed to be the other way around…?)
The first thing that happened when they got there was trying to get into the building quickly because of the rain; it came pouring just as they entered the limo.
"Isn't it supposed to be warm when it rains?" Sena muttered to himself.
"It's almost winter; it'll be slush in a bit" someone answered as Sena step through the door of the fancy hotel, the lights and carpet shone brightly. Good thing Hiruma made Sena wear sunglasses, that looked elegant enough to not give off the vibe of being a weirdo who wore shades indoors… (Agon, Akaba, Toganou…) Everyone had already gotten their coats taken and went off, or rather they were pulled away.
Mamori was surrounded by men, Monta tried to fight them off (key term being tried), Suzuna made sure her brother kept out of trouble, Ishimaru and Yukimitsu went to sit down. Musashi went to make sure Kurita wasn't going to devour the buffet table, and Komusubi went along. Satake and Yamaoka went after girls, and the trio went off to do their own thing. Hiruma went to harass the bigwigs, of course.
The man, previously, offered to take Sena's coat as he stood there taking in the sights, "Will I get it back?" he asked earning him a chuckle from the man.
"Of course, but then again… if I didn't, you would have to come see me another time, wouldn't you?" the man smiled brightly. Sena being dense as he was just nodded smiling.
"Oh and here" the man handed him two roses, a red rose and a yellow one.
"Oh, um thank-you, but what are they for?" Sena asked looking at the two, Sena preferred chocolate over flowers, but he would never say that, it was too embarrassing for him.
"Hahaha" that earned a good chuckle from the man, "This is your party and you don't know the rules?" the man asked teasingly.
"…" Sena blushed, "I'm sorry…" he mumbled.
"No, don't be depressed. Sigh, I don't like seeing that sad look on your beautiful face"
"O-okay?" Sena tried to smile, it came out shy like a school girl trying to confess.
'Adorable…' the man thought as he let out a brilliant grin, one that could outshine the sun.
"Those flowers are for giving away, men will give the woman they find um, what's the word…" the man looked up to the decorated ceiling eyeing the chandelier. His auburn hair shifted back.
"Nice?" Sena tried to be helpful, he tilted his head up too.
The man looked at Sena, a little surprise at the innocent reply. Sena looked at the man and smiled like a child who was waiting to be given a treat. 'Hiruma did a number on her, she wouldn't seem the type to dress so… seductively…' the man thought and mental inhaled.
"Yes, nice lady a red rose and if the nice lady so chooses, she can give the yellow rose as a symbol of returning the favor, and as you can see" the man waved to the room below "There is no limit as to how many roses you can receive, but… you only may give one… and I have given mine to you Ms. Twenty-one" he pointed to the red rose Sena held in his hand.
"Twenty-one?" Sena repeatedly slowly as he eyed the rose, 'Oh, right Yoru-san said my code name was twenty-one… oh man did I mess up, I told Julie-san and the others my real name… I hope they can keep a secret' he sighed.
"Is there something the matter?" he asked politely looking down into Sena's sadden face, "You know I don't like that look on your beautiful face"
"No, nothing is the matter… I mean nothing is wrong" Sena flushed, he really did need to remember his grammar. Er… watch his grammar. (? Me and Grammar don't like each other…)
"I see… that's good" he looked off, "By the way" he turn back to Sena "I only know you as Ms. Twenty-one, but what is your real name?" he asked as he led 'her' down the stairs.
"I-I can't say. Mr. Hiruma has forbid me… um Mister…?"
"Takeru. Yamato, Takeru, but you may call me Takeru"
"Um… Takeru-san" when Sena said his name, it made him smile even more brightly. "Is it okay for you to leave your post? Not that it's a bad thing… I'm sure just standing there would be boring…" Sena looked off.
'She doesn't know who I am…? Ah, she said san, didn't she? Maybe she's new in America… but her English is fluent, hm' he wondered, as he replied to Sena with a smile. "I won't tell if you won't"
"Okay" Sena smiled warmly with soft eyes half closed, Yamato squeezed 'her' hand, gently, as he led the way.
"Oh… look at the oni hot babe the Alexander's CEO's only son got by his side" a man with a mole right dead center on his forehead said to another man dressed in a fine black suit, but no tie on and the first few buttons were loose… his dreads moved as he went to check out said smokin' hot chick… and he would have gone over and wooed her himself hadn't he had known that Sena was a boy. So he just laughed scaring everyone around him.
"Do want to sit down for a while and conserve your energy?" Yamato asked.
"Huh?" Sena looked up at the tall man in the white suit; he was busy looking around from Shin.
"Um, why?" Sena asked giving a small confused smile.
"Well you did just get out of the hospital not long ago"
"Oh no, I'm fine" Sena nodded, "If I couldn't handle this Mr. Hiruma would laugh at me…" Sena sighed.
"He's a slave driver, isn't he?" Yamato asked pitying Sena, while at the same time trying to let 'her' confide in him, trust him.
"Yes…but… he's really a good person, deep…deep, deep down" Sena stated as he continued to walk. He then smiled as he thought 'He can't be all that bad if he gave me a job after attacking not once, not twice but three times… Maybe he's just crazy' Sena giggled.
Yamato felt a twinge in his chest as Sena defended Hiruma, and was smiling and giggling after having just spoken of him. Yamato stopped walking and turned to look at Sena, surprising Sena to a halt. He was going to ask 'her' if 'she' liked Hiruma, when three people dressed in red and black, purple and black, yellow and white came up to them.
"Akaba-san, Kotaro-san, Julie-san, hi!" Sena chirped to Akaba who was in a black suit with a black dress shirt and a red tie, and black slacks, Kotaro was in similar attire but his tie was a deep violet color and Julie was in a simple elegant dress, with yellow trimmings at the bottom and top.
"Hey Sena" Julie chirped, when Sena flinched. Yamato who was smiling wearily turned to Sena and stared a little hurt.
Sena looked up and him and then turned to Julie and said "Um Julie-san you know how I was scared and confused the day you guys found me"
"Yeah, and then you got shot… poor thing, your stay hasn't been the best so far…" Julie hugged Sena.
"Ah, yes… well I just remembered when Takeru-san mentioned my codename"
'Doesn't she mean stage name?' Kotaro wondered.
'Takeru…?' Akaba stared at Yamato, who was frowning but now was all smiles again…
"Mr. Hiruma wanted to keep my identity a secret… though I don't know why… but if anyone else found out, I'd be in trouble, so could you please not tell anyone and Takeru-san, I really meant it that I couldn't tell you… it just sort of slipped when Mizumachi-san found me…"
"Mizumachi? Mizumachi Kengo?" Yamato asked remembering the Oceania Poseidon tall wild blonde member, his eyes changed for a moment into something fierce, but Sena didn't notice.
"Yes! He found me in a corner when I was lost at the ceremony and that's how I met him, and Kakei-san, and Julie-san Kotaro-san and Akaba-san were there at the time discussing about a thing" Sena stated nodding.
"Thing?" Yamato asked chuckling.
"Don't laugh at me" Sena pouted, "I'm not good with the lingo of the carp-corp-corporate world…" Sena stuttered and blushed at how stupid he sounded.
'Cute…' they all thought as they smiled, Yamato with his dazzling beam, Julie with her eyes shut and head tilted, Kotaro stifled his laugh, and Akaka with small smile, he handed Sena his rose. She took it hesitantly and thanked him stutteringly.
"Our managers decided that our companies, or more specifically our bands should team up and produce a CD album with each other, it's almost finished, and will be sold in a week's time" Julie stated sounding a little off to Sena.
He was dense, he didn't see the sparks flying, he didn't know that every company is a rival… and if one went behind the other and teamed up, the other companies would do the same. Deimon Devil incorporate had been small, so small in fact that they weren't viewed as a threat, so Sena was safe… for now.
Also a different kind of rivalry brewed between Akaba and Yamato, though they had just met Sena, they were well known and chased by millions of woman, and men alike. Sena didn't seem to care, well they knew 'she' acknowledges them, but beside that there was no attraction and that was different. And they're at a young age where experimenting and dominance was key in temporary happiness. One could only wish for true happiness. So now they were trying to woo 'her'.
"Um… I think I'm gonna go over there now… see you guys later" Sena waved as he slipped through the warzone because he felt something was off…
Sena wasn't paying attention when he bumped someone's elbow, a waiter's. The white wine glasses tipped as the waiter tripped forward, Sena instantly grabbed the tray from the waiter with his right hand and caught the wine glasses before they spilled a single drop, spun around and caught the waiter whom was a young boy, about the age of 17, with his left arm, pulled him up straight and caught the last wine cup in his left hand, the boy blinked at the feat.
"Wow…" he muttered.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, are you okay?" Sena asked as he placed the tray down on a nearby table and dusted the boy's shoulder, the boy was a little shorter than he was, and that was only because he was wearing heels.
"Y-yeah, no problem"
"Are you sure?" Sena spun around him,
"Y-yeah, I'm okay" he nodded, blushing as Sena inspected him.
"Oh, that's good" Sena nodded, smiling. His sunglasses had fallen off and his honey brown orbs danced in the light.
"…" the boy was mesmerized by those eyes, he just stood there staring at the blinking Sena.
"Here boy… now go on your way" Kakei whom with everyone else who was watching Sena had witnessed Sena's feat came over, handed the boy the tray and tried to get rid of him so that he could have Sena all to himself.
"Ah, r-right" the boy looked down at his shoes as he took the tray, bowed and was about to leave when Sena said,
"Oh, here you go… um"
"Nakabou, my names Nakabou but my friends call me Chuubou" he stated smiling and blushing.
"Okay, Chuubou, here's the last glass" Sena smiled warmly as he handed back to the young boy.
"Uh, um k-keep it, it's for the guests" Chuubou was shocked, 'she' considered him a friend, even though he was a waiter…
"But I'm underage…" Chuubou was again surprised, so 'she' was around his age?
"um… here you go Kakei-san" he handed the glass to Kakei who took with a smile. "Ah Chuubou before you go, wants some candy?" Sena pulled out three golden wrapped caramels from his glove. (Hahaha I do that all the time, I keep candy in my sleeves… I'm a candy ninja~)
"I-I may look like a kid but I'm 18" he stated proudly.
"What's that got to do with the candy, I'm 19, well turning 19 this year so it's like I'm already nineteen, I'll be twenty soon" Sena said proudly.
"Oh, when are you turning 19?" Kakei asked, tilting his head down to meet Sena's eyes.
"December 21st" Sena chirped.
"…" the two men looked at Sena, Chuubou tried to keep from laughing, while Kakei just chuckled a little.
"What's so funny?" Sena asked pouting.
"That's three months away, and you'll be twenty in a 1 ¼ of a year, that's not soon" Kakei explained as he handed Sena a rose.
"Well, it is in my notes" Sena took the rose and thanked him.
"In your books, you mean" Chuubou grinned trying to keep from laughing, but he was shaking.
"Ah, American idioms, how confusing…" Sena muttered, as he glanced away, then he noticed something.
'That's Sakuraba-san right, then…' Sena looked all over and tried to spy Shin.
"Who are you looking for…?" Kakei asked a little downtrodden that Sena didn't hand him 'her' yellow rose.
"Shin-san" Sena stated perking up.
"Oh, well I heard she couldn't make it…" Kakei was relieved 'she' wasn't looking for a guy.
"…Oh, that's right, she has a match today… I hope she's wins, but most importantly I hope she doesn't get hurt" Sena said worryingly 'I guess I'll give it to…'
"I hope so too…" someone who was behind Sena stated snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Oh, hello"
"Hello Ms. Twenty-one" another tall ebony haired man stated, he wore glasses and his hair was combed back while Kakei's was down in its natural state.
The man looked professional, like a scholar of some sort, so Sena stood up straight, which earned him a chuckle from the man. That's when Sena noticed something, they were all taller than he was by so much…
"…Why are all of you so tall?" Sena asked pouting.
"…" the man and Kakei blinked at the question, turned to each other and smiled.
"Sigh… I guess, I'm just short, I'm shorter than Chuubou without these heels…" Sena pouted.
"No you aren't Se-"
"Don't say my name!" that outburst surprised Kakei, but it wasn't loud enough to stop all the chattering and socializing "or I will be at the mercy of the devil…" Sena whispered.
"Oh… so that's what the Ms. Twenty-one is about, people aren't supposed to know your name?" Kakei asked, he was forming a deal in his mind
"Yes… but it slipped that day… I was scared and confused…please, pretty please don't tell anyone… or I'll be in big trouble with Mr. Hiruma…" Sena begged with pleading tear filled eyes that put puppies and kittens to shame! His cheeks became pink and he looked like he was ready to cry. "I just got out of the hospital too… I don't want to be punished…" Sena muttered as Chuubou handed him a handkerchief. He thanked the boy, making Chuubou flush.
"Mr. Kakei is a reasonable man, aren't you…?" the man asked and then said softly so only Kakei could hear "you wouldn't make a lady cry, will you?" the man narrowed his eyes at Kakei.
"O-Of course" Kakei whose eyes usually strike terror into anyone who dared to piss him off was cowering in front of this man, this amazed Chuubou because he knew all the companies, except Deimon Devil…
"Sniffles…Really?" Sena asked eyes shining brightly.
"U-uh yes really, did you think otherwise Ms. Twenty-one?" Kakei asked, a little on the teasing side.
"Oh, of course not, Kakei-san is nice, like that day you helped me, silly me" Sena smiled happily "thank-you" Sena bowed.
"Um, and thank-you too um… I'm sorry but I don't know your name" Sena stated.
"I'm Takami, Ichiro. Nice to meet you… and for your knowledge I'll keep your name a secret too"
"Ah, you're Takami-san, it's so nice to meet you!" Sena bowed.
"Wait… how would you know Mr. Takami?" Kakei asked wearily.
"Shin-san, she probably told you, hasn't she?" Sena asked full of smiles
"Yes, and I thank-you for protecting her the day of the incident" Takami stated smiling down at the cheery boy.
"Well what are friends for?" Sena asked smiling brightly.
'Friends… would they go that far, risking their life?' Takami wondered.
(Flashback)
In a room, the sun is setting behind the window.
"Is it okay for you not to go?" Sakuraba, a tall blonde man, asked Shin.
"It is fine, Kobayakawa-san will understand, but do thank her for me Takami-san" Shin stated slowly as she got her duffle bag ready.
"Will do…" Takami stated 'I wonder if it will be alright…'
(Flashback ova!)
"Hm, who was her opponent again… oh right, Robinson, Allison. I heard she's pretty tough, I think it was three wins and one loss, and a tie. But of course Shin-san is four wins and one tie" Sena said proudly.
Takami smiled and nodded and said "Yes, she'll do great, especially with her biggest fan cheering her on"
"Who's her biggest fan… let me meet this person, and we'll have a very heated discussion about Shin-san. I'll show them!" Sena was riled up now, he puffed his cheeks out.
Making all three guys chuckle covering his mouths and turning away, Takami to the left, Kakei to the right, Chuubou looked down at his shoes.
"…What's wrong?" Sena asked looking around.
"N-Nothing" "Nope" "All's fine" they kept chuckling, and couldn't face him.
"Hm…Ah, here come another tall person…"
"Hm, ah Haruto, come and meet Ms. Twenty-one, the one whom you always help Seiko email"
"?" Chuubou and Kakei gave a confused looked, more so Chuubou because Kakei kept his cool.
"She's terrible with machines, ever since we were little kid Shin-san would just have to touch it and it explodes, she wasn't allowed to touch the computer at our school because we only had one"
"One?" Chuubou asked amazed, at his school they had a room filled, and each classroom had one.
"Yes I come from a small village in the country, and there were only a few students about 21? So basically we knew everyone"
"That sounds nice and not so nice at the same time" Chuubou stated "Well I have to go, or I'll get fired… bye Ms. Twenty-one" and with that he left just as Sakuraba came up to them.
"Phew… I just got away…" he breathed.
"Um…" Sena giggled, his cheeks flushed.
Sakuraba blushed, he remembered Sena that day, and she literally flew into his sights and dressed in fiery hot red, and amazed him with those skillful kicks, never had he seen a girl as amazing… except for Shin, but she was nowhere as fast and accurate as Sena… 'She' took down a gunman in a heartbeat.
"You have a little bit of lipstick on your cheek" Sena stated smiling.
"Huh…?" Sakuraba blinked. Takami handed him a handkerchief and pointed to Sakuraba's cheek. Sakuraba took the handkerchief and rubbed the spot, and to his surprise saw red hot lipstick smudges.
"Hehehe, well someone's loved" Sena teased, "Nice to meet you Mr. Popular" Sena extended his hand. Sakuraba, who was embarrassed, reached for it slowly.
"Don't worry, I won't jump you and kiss you, I promise" Sena lifted up his other hand smiling.
Sakuraba smiled, blushing and shook it firmly.
Somewhere in the background girls were calling Sena things that shouldn't have come out of a lady's mouth… especially a red head who had a thing for Sakuraba. Hiruma bumped into said girl causing her to spill her drink on her white dress.
"Ah! How dare you-"
"Oh, I'm sorry Ms. Katarina." Hiruma whipped out his little black book, "I got your pretty little dress all dirty… just like Ja-"
"Ah, no it's my entire fault. Hahaha silly little clumsy me" said the red head as she backed away slowly from Hiruma and then ran for it, causing questionable looks in the crowd. They all backed away from Hiruma as he made his way to a table, he sat down and pulled out his laptop from who knows where…
He glanced over at Sena who was laughing happily making conversation with Takami, Kakei and Sakuraba.
"Che…" Hiruma scoffed.
"So… where is Mizumachi-san?" Sena asked.
"He couldn't make it" Kakei stated.
"Or is because he's being punished for what he did two days ago?" Yamato asked walking up to them with Akaba following behind him.
"Punished?" Sena asked Kakei, his eyes shone his worry.
"Sigh… yes" Kakei stated as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"For what?" Sena asked, "Unless you don't want to say it"
"No it's fine…" Kakei smiled, Akaba came by Sena's right side and handed him the sunglasses that fell.
"Oh, thank-you, so… what happened?" Sena asked waiting with anticipation.
"He… played a prank on our manager… filled her office with stray cats…"
"…Why?" Sena asked confused.
"Because our manager hates cats and he wanted to scare her because she mouthed off his girlfriend about being too clingy and in the way"
"Well that's not nice"
"Yes he shouldn't have place-"
"No, I meant your manager… if Mizumachi-san is happy then how his girlfriend in the way? That is no reason to yell at people. She could have politely told her to wait until you guys were done with work or something. Mizumachi seems like a very nice person, albeit eccentric, but he told me that day when I was lost that, you, Kakei-san, were a nice person; even if you did look grouchy, that you were willing to help a person in need, and that's why you're his best friend. If he defended his girlfriend it must be because he found it just, then I think it's safe to assume that she didn't deserve it, but of course your manager probably didn't deserve that either… me I wouldn't mind I like cats~"
Kakei just smiled warmly and nodded. That's when the light dimmed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, did you all hand your roses over to the person of your choosing?" someone on the mike asked.
"Yes!" was the majority and some no's, including Sena, were mixed in there.
"Then please do hurry because our festivities are about to begin, in just ten minutes, that is all" and with that the man with white hair who looked like a pro-wrestler went backstage.
"Hm…" Sena held up his yellow rose to his own face and examined it. Kakei, Akaba, Yamato, and Sakuraba all flinched forward.
"Hey Kid, who's that girl surrounded by all the stars?" a boy, with spiky white hair in a black suit and tan cowboy boots, pointed to Sena.
"Hm… oh that's Hiruma's newest star. Twenty-one, she's the one who took down the gunman… you should have seen her… she was skilled" Kid, a man with long black hair and scribble eyebrows in a black suit and black cowboy boots and a brown cowboy hat tipped over his face as he leaned in his chair with his legs propped up on a chair next to the albino boy stated.
"Twenty-one huh…?" he glanced at Sena again, looking her up and down, 'she' looked his way and caught him staring, but he didn't look away. 'She' smiled and nodded, he nodded back.
"How old is she?"
"About 19, her birthday's in December, interested in her are we now, Riku?" Kid asked teasingly.
Riku looked back at Sena, 'she' went off leaving the stars confused.
"Yeah… I kinda am" he smirked as he got up and went up to 'her'.
"Hey"
"Oh, hi"
"My name's Riku. Kaitani, Riku and you are?" he extended a hand.
"Se- I mean, Twenty-one" Sena shook his hand and smiled embarrassed that he almost let his name slip.
"So… didn't you give your rose away?" Riku asked.
"Did you?"
"Sadly yes…" he smirked.
"I see…" 'How is it sad…?' Sena wondered as he blinked.
"Well I haven't given mine away yet, and I have to soon, so if you'll excuse me"
"Well you could give it to them or me?"
"Mm… no" Sena looked over to the other and then to Riku.
"… Why not?" Riku asked a little upset and a little curious.
"Because you have a bunch already, and they, they threw all of theirs away… which is strange, if I gave my rose to them they would just throw it away… and if I gave my rose to you, you wouldn't be able to distinguish it…but like I said you have a lot already and I already decided to give it to someone else the moment I heard Shin-san wasn't here" Sena said firmly. (They only wanted Sena's rose… so they threw the rest away except for Sakuraba…)
"Shin-san?"
"Shin, Seiko"
"Her? But she's a girl" Riku stated smiling almost laughing.
"So? She's amazing and I like her"
"… Wow… well, good luck to you" Riku said rubbing the back of his head.
"Thank-you" Sena stated smiling brightly, he was absolutely glowing.
"Y-Yeah… you're welcome…" 'Damn she's cute' Riku watched Sena go, from behind 'and hot… kickass'
"Excuse me, can I get through here?" Sena asked a couple who were smooching and blocking the way.
"Sure anything for you babe" the man tried to flirt with Sena, the woman was pissed.
"Who's babe?" Sena asked the woman, who just blinked…
'and innocent…what a combo…' Riku thought.
(Sena only knows guys called girls Honey, because of a song…so whenever he hears baby in a song he thinks of a literal baby…)
The others, who were with Sena previously, were watching 'her' as well, they were chuckling… but stopped once Sena walked over to his table…
"Mr. Hiruma"
"…What?" Hiruma didn't look from his laptop, in actuality he was pretty much focusing solely on what Sena had to say.
"Here" Sena handed him the yellow rose.
"…" the room got quiet, the music stop because the people on the dance floor stopped when the people in the crowd gasped.
"Whoa, what happened?" Sena asked looking around, everyone was staring at him.
Hiruma closed his slowly laptop and looked up at Sena.
"Why are you giving it to me?" Hiruma didn't want a pity flower…
"Because you gave me my first rose ever" Sena smiled brightly. (The rose from the hospital, yeah it was Hiruma…)
"…" everyone went wide-eyed.
"When did she meet him?" Yamato asked his smile not so bright, in fact in bordered dark.
"…My sources say that they met each other while she was still a freshman in high school" Takami stated "which meant he was twenty and she was fifteen"
'…pedophile…' they all thought glowering. (They thought he dated Sena when she was in high school…)
"So, returning the favor huh?"
"Somewhat, I know you always want double the payment back so… I'll have to give you something else… what would you like?"
'Hm… maybe she's not so innocent…' most people thought.
'Sena! Don't offer him that!' Mamori mentally yelled, but she was kept blockade in the male circle.
"Gum?" Sena asked, "You were always chewing sugar free gum, right?" Sena chirped, everyone fell over, except Hiruma.
"… I want…" Hiruma stood up "Your heart…"
Everyone went wide-eyed; they waited for Sena's response.
"When I'm good and dead" Sena stated firmly causing people to gasp.
"…" Hiruma stepped up to the poor chibi.
"Be-because I kind of need it right now… but once I'm dead, you know I don't think I can feel it when you surgically remove an organ… so you can have my other organs too…if you want?" again everyone fell over… including Hiruma.
"But you know Yoru-san, a heart for a rose seems kind of unfair" Sena muttered while looking down at yellow rose in his hand, then looked up at Hiruma and handed it to the blonde demon with a small smile.
Hiruma slowly reached out for it, retracting his hand in one swift move, he slid it into his shoulder pocket, right beside his heart. (If he has a heart…)
"Come here fuckin' midget" he beckon with his long lanky sharp finger, like death beckons the ill. Sena complied, he walked over. Hiruma sat down, and told him to sit, right in between his legs.
"W-won't your leg go numb?" Sena asked blinking.
"…" 'That's what he/she's worried about!' everyone was amaze at the denseness of what is known as Sena.
"Just fuckin' sit" Hiruma ordered, and Sena nodded slowly, turned and sat down slowly. He looked around and blushed because everyone was staring at him, so he opted to stare at the ground.
"Ladies and Gentlemen!" everyone turned their attention to the stage. "Let the games begin!"
"What games?" Sena turned to see Hiruma's ungodly grin…
'Sharks probably fear him' Sena thought as he turn back around, so swiftly he thought he got whiplash…
Rubbing his neck, he could feel that something awful was about to go down. That or the fact that Hiruma, who was now breathing down his thin neck, those fangs only centimeters away, and the fact that he snaked his arms around Sena's waist had something to do with it.
TBC...
Hm... what's gonna happen to Sena? Does it have anything to do with the Devil?
KH: Okay, so that was a bit much, but I won't be writing for a while, so I hope ya all enjoyed it~
