Number 10

||BTW!; I'll be writing in first person now, since I'm kinda better at that then anything else...|| Alright here is chapter 10 of this story. Since I just read this comment by sophiashyaway that had a really good idea. So I'm going to go with that. Thanks for the idea! I don't own anything from Ookami-san and Her Seven Companions. Just my character Amaya, and future ones?

"Oh, my stomachs tied in knots.

I'm afraid of what I'll find, if I see you again tonight.

See the problem isn't you, it's me I know. I do this every single time.

I'll push you away, oh I get so afraid.

And I can't live without you know, oh oh. I can't even live with myself, oh oh.

I can't live without you now, oh oh. And I don't want nobody else, oh oh.

I only have myself to blame, but do you think we could start again?"

Ever since she kissed him, he hadn't been thinking straight much. He pounded his fist on the table, trying to get her out of his head. He paced the room a couple times, but he just couldn't. He knew he should be thinking about his club and what he should be doing but he couldn't get her out of his head, and this was a first for him. And he wasn't loving it so much, it annoyed him to no end. He sat back in his chair, elbows on the table with his hands crossed and he laid his head on top of them. He stared at the door, and watched as his companions walked in the door the same way they always do. Alice, Ryouko, Ringo, Ryoushi, Tarou, Otohime, Otsuu, Majolica, and their newest memeber, Amaya. He kept his stare directly at her. Lizst decided to sit on top of his desk, and once he did he crossed his arms. Then he heard a bell ring from upstairs. Alice instantly went up, and it seemed like everyone else followed. Lizst was the last one up. Alice, Ryouko, and Ringo sat on the couch across from the client. Ryoushi stood by the couch along with Tarou, and Otohime sat on the couch arm. Lizst and Amaya stood behind the couch, but something didn't seem right in the air.

"I know how you guys work, no need to ask me." The client waved what Alice was going to say off. She looked like an elementary student. She had long blonde hair and the lightest blue eyes any of the Otogi Bank members had ever seen. She wore a yellow and white dress, that went down to her mid-thigh and had a flower headband in her hair. She was running her hands through her own hair, a bored look in her eyes. Liszt looked at Amaya, her eyes were wide, and he saw a drop of sweat go down the side of her face. Her hands were balled up into fists, as she stared at this client.

"What do you ne-" Alice couldn't even say anything before the client screamed out with delight, her face lighting up with joy.

"Amaya!" The client screamed, getting up off the couch and flinging herself at Amaya. The fell onto the ground as the client hugged the terrified girl. The client clapped her hands. "I was looking for you! I was actually gonna come here to see if the Otogi Bank could find you! I knew you lived here, but I didn't know where you were." The client sat up, still ontop of Amaya. "I didn't know you worked with the Otogi Bank?" The client's face fell into a scary expression but it soon returned into her happy one. Lizst and Amaya were the only ones who had noticed, everyone else just looked annoyed - well maybe except Ringo. Amaya pushed the girl off her and quickly got up backing to the wall.

"What's wrong?" Lizst instantly went over to Amaya, and everyone turned their heads. The little girl was standing there, a smile on her face. It was a little to creepy for comfort. Amaya backed up into the wall, staring at the little girl.

"I-I have to go." Amaya grabbed her coat, and ran out of the room and down the street. Lizst watched her go, he wanted to go after her. He needed to, he knew someone had to. He knew Ryoushi would probably be the guy to go after her. She was after all seemed to be in love with him, and ditto with him. Lizst stared at the client, and soon Alice told the girl to leave if she didn't have anything to do with them now. Lizst watched as his companions started heading down to their base. He just stood there, trying to choose to go after her. Oh he sure was going after that girl, and he even had a plan ready.

"Hey Ryoushi."

Amaya's POV;

She's back. She's really back. How in the hell did she ever get back, and how did she find me? I need to leave, someplace. I need to go somewhere. I can't be here. I couldn't stop thinking. I stopped in a small park and fell onto my hands and knees. I started screaming, and felt the tears go down my face. I looked up to see a couple adults looking at me in concern, more of annoyance I guessed. They were probably thinking of how of a freak I was. I wiped my face, but I knew the tears wouldn't stop. I ran out of the park, and kept running until I got to the abandoned amusement park. I ran through the amusement park but stopped at a little pond. I wiped my tears from my face and looked into the pond at my reflection. I looked like a wreck and I hated it. I pulled my hair over my shoulder and stared at myself for awhile. I soon realized there was a person standing by me. It looked like her. "Ah!" I screamed falling backwards onto my hands and butt. I looked up at the girl, but she was taller than Kana. And much more prettier. She kind of looked like a boy I knew. She had long light blonde hair, and dark brown eyes. She wore a school uniform. "Who are you?" I asked, getting up and wiping off my butt. The girl giggled.

"I'm mysterious beauty." The girl put out her hand and I shook it. I kept leaning my head a bit towards her, trying to figure out who she looked like. She tilted her head when she saw some tears roll down my face. I hadn't meant for them to fall, but she saw them anyway. She wiped them off and dragged me to a bench and we sat down. "Alice told me that a Amaya had run off and needed someone to talk to. So she picked me, and Ryoushi told me where you might be." Mysterious Beauty told me, a smile on her face. She held my hand in both of her's.

"Wait so you are in the Otogi Bank?" I asked her and she nodded, and I sighed. "I never see you there?" I said, still trying to pin-point who she looked like, and I swore I had seen her somewhere. She didn't reply and changed the subject.

"What's your problem, dear?" She asked, squeezing my hands a bit. "You can tell me, I promise I won't tell anyone. And I won't judge you, it's not my place to do that." Mysterious Beauty promised and I felt my eyes water again. And soon I was telling this girl everything, and I couldn't stop crying. My body wrecked with sobs.

"I killed them, I killed my family, all because of that girl, Kana. S-She had me kill so many people, so many innocent people, kids. The people she didn't like or bullied her. I didn't want to, but I was forced to. She would've killed me, she would've killed me.." I cried into my hands and yelled in pain. "But she was my best friend, and I still would've done everything she told me to do. I'm such an awful person. I would number the trees with their blood, number how many people we had killed. But one night I found my sense, and I tried to kill her and then we had to go to the police station. Somehow, god knows how, I was freed and found innocent. They said I was manipulated by her and she possessed me in some crazy way. But one night I snuck into the prison Kana was being held at, don't ask how. I my mind was clouded with anger and hatred. And even though I was scared to death by her, I killed her and masked up the murder and made it look like she killed herself somehow. And then I moved here, hoping I could forget about my past but it seems to be haunting me." I got off the bench and walked a bit away from her, and I kept crying I couldn't stop. Mysterious Beauty hugged me, trying to stop my crying. I hugged her back and soon calmed down.

"Why don't we go get some lunch, and you won't have to think about this." Mysterious Beauty offered, and I nodded. We walked out of the amusement park and I watched my new friend walk down the street a little ahead of me. Her walk seemed similar of that of.. Liszt's walk? I shook my head.

After me and Mysterious Beauty had lunch I took a picture and kept it in my phone. I stayed away from school for a couple days, and me and Mysterious Beauty became good friends over those days. We would hang out at the pond she found me at. We even went swimming once, but we were in our clothes. We didn't bring our swimsuits and we didn't plan it. We took a lot of pictures together, and told our secrets. Like normal girls do. It felt good to have a new friend. One day she brought up the topic of boys as we sat by the pond.

"Who do you like?" She asked, curiousity written all over her face.

"Actually I don't even know. Me and Ryoushi kissed, I don't admit it." I flinched thinking about it. Why did we even do that in the first place? We were stupid to think that we would ever be together. It just wasn't possible. It was weird, and I felt ashamed. I kissed with my cousin.

"You kissed him!?" She asked, totally surprised. I nodded, uncomfortable. She looked a little hurt, but it was masked up with more curiousity. "But you don't like him?" I shook my head, but then paused and shrugged. She nodded and then looked at the pond, and dreamy gaze on her face. "I like Tarou, he's so funny. But I know we could never be together, he's with Otohime and she scares me." Mysterious Beauty laughed, but I gasped.

"So!? You still need to go after him! Just try and talk to him for a little while, maybe something would happen. You never know." I wasn't very good at advice, so I rubbed the back of my head awkwardly. Mysterious Beauty laughed, and I joined in with her. Then she brought up something that I would've never thought of.

"You know you and Liszt would look cute together." She smiled crossing her arms, and smirking. I shook my head quickly.

"No, no, no." I growled, thinking of how he's always trying to get into my business and trying to figure out my past. He was so nosey and annoying. Even though he was the president, he was not the best leader. That was my opinion of it anyway. But he was a nice person, and I liked him as a friend. I never thought of him anymore than that, right? I remember when I was in the hospital and kissed him, that didn't mean anything. It was a thank-you, nothing more. "Well.. I did kiss him. But it was nothing. It was just a thank you for the necklace he got me." I pulled out the necklace from under my shirt and showed my best friend. The girl looked hurt, but it disappeared. I wondered why.

"Wow it's pretty." She leaned over, holding the necklace and staring at it. "Well, why did you kiss him if it meant nothing. Even if it was a thank you, don't you think that's a little rude." She asked, her face had a weird expression on that I couldn't read. I shrugged. "Maybe you should hang out with him sometime. He did tell me that he would love to become closer with you, but he just doesn't know how. He said that you are really stubborn and really hard to read. But he wants you to open up to him, like you have with most of the members." She rubbed her hands a little nervously, like she was scared of something. But what would she be afraid of? Maybe of how I would reply?

"Well it seems like you two are pretty close. Why don't you go out with him?" I suggested, one of my eyebrows raised. She quickly shook my head and I sighed. "I don't know what you should tell him. I don't want to get close to him, to be honest. He kind of makes me nervous. Like someone not to be trusted. I just always feel like he's trying to get something out of me." The girl sighed and shrugged.

"Maybe you could just try to become closer, for me?" She asked, her voice quiet and soft. She held my hands staring into my eyes. I looked away, a little annoyed but soon nodded my head.

"I'll try."

A/N; Thanks again to sophiashyaway again for the idea of this! I really liked it, so thank you. I hope you guys liked this chapter of the story, please review or whatever you feel like doing! The song in the beginning of the story is called Stomach Tied In Knots by Sleeping With Sirens. I don't anything of the song, and whatnot.

I'm still not sure about Amaya's relationship. I just don't know who to ship her with. There isn't that many guys in this story. I mean she could be shipped with one of the girls, like Ryouko or Kana but. I don't know. I'll just go along with whatever I decide. But I really liked sophiashyaway's review, so I'm using it. So if you all liked this chapter, then you should also thank sophiashyaway for the idea!

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year. Bye~
