Chapter 10: Things Change

I rolled my eyes as she poured more water onto my head washing out the black hair dye, typical Hikari."Yeah I guess you did win." I told her. Even if I hadn't called truce, I still wouldn't of beat her prank. I had give her that. I knew she would be smiling behind me, as she washed my hair. I knew she wanted to rub it in my face that she was more victorious than I, but she didn't say anything. By that, to be honest, I was confused. She had even stopped rubbing her hands through my hair.

I wanted to look up to see what was wrong but I didn't want to mess up the floor with the water and dye dripping from my hair. Hikari mumbled something to herself but it was too low for me to hear "Hikari?" I asked in a whisper. Not wanting to frighten her. But when she didn't respond I bit my lip, had she zoned out? Maybe something else had happened? "Hikari?" I asked louder, this time. Her hands jumped with the rest of her body, moving my head in the process.

"Oh!" She gasped, letting go of my head, "I'm so sorry! I just zoned out there." She apologized going back to washing my hair again. She poured something else on my head, which I assumed was conditioner and she stared to rub it in.

"What were you thinking?" I asked. I didn't really want to know what she was thinking about, it just seemed like the friendly thing to do. I was hoping she'd just say nothing. Or tell me it was nothing. I never told anyone what I was thinking, because really, it's no one else's business.

Hikari laughed lightly, not really a humorous laugh, it was more half-heartidly. "Just because we've called truce doesn't mean I'm going to tell you everything, nice try though." She laughed again.

Well at least I didn't need to be rude now since she wasn't going to tell me, but I had to admit it did make me curious. Did she have a secret? Was it that bad she didn't want to share? Hikari didn't seem like the type that would keep much back. I was going to ask again but I decided not to press it and let her tell me when she wanted. After a couple more minutes she stopped to grab a towel and handed it to me, I took the towel and started to rub my hair with it. She stood up and walked out of the bathroom telling me to just put the towel in the basket when I was finished. I dried my hair with the towel, until it was damp and dumped it into the basket.

I walked out of the bathroom and into the main part of the house. Hikari was sitting on the sofa, reading when I walked over to join her. "Hey" I said plopping onto the sofa her with her. The sofa was soft and comfy, my body molded into the cushions. Hikari looked at me over her book and then went back to reading, flicking her eyes back down. "Thanks for washing out the dye" I said slowly. Hikari looked back up, smirking. "What?" I asked confused on why she was giving me that look.

"You do realize I was the one who changed your hair colour too, right?" She asked me. When I remembered that she had in fact changed my hair colour black I stuck out my tongue. But she only laughed and went back to reading.

I looked around Hikari's house taking in the pale blue walls and the light wooden floor. She had a kitchen, a dining room and a living room all in the main part of the house. There were two doors at the back of the room which I thought must of led to her bedroom and the other obviously leading to the bathroom, as we had just been in there. Hikari had only been here for a couple of seasons now but had already made a home for herself, she had fixed the holes in her roof and had expanded the house. For that I admired her, I guess I was wrong about Hikari she wasn't so bad after all and very hardworking.

In the middle of my examination someone knocked on the door. My head turned towards the door and Hikari sighed, putting down her book and getting up to answer the door. She opened the door and was pushed out of the way by Luna. Luna stormed into the house asking where I was. Her eyes searched the room until landing on me sitting on the sofa. She stormed over to me grabbing my collar and dragging me out the door, leaving a speechless Hikari.

She dragged me off of the farm and all the way to the far corner of the beach. I protested the full way asking Luna why she was doing this and telling her to calm down. But of course she didn't listen and before she even said anything to me we were standing face-to-face on the beach. For a small woman like Luna she was surprisingly strong.

Her face was angry, her eyes narrowed and her lips pursed. To be honest, I probably didn't look too happy either by the way she had dragged me out here, in the cold when my hair was still damp. For awhile we didn't say anything and the lagging silence was too uncomfortable. I sighed knowing Luna would never let down and asked: "Luna, why did you drag me out here?"

Luna made a face and crossed her arms tightly across her chest. "You spend too much time with Hikari! You never spend any time with me anymore!" she whined. I rolled my eyes and stepped closer to her. She lent back a bit from me but I stayed close.

I placed my hands on her shoulders and smiled slightly at her. "Luna, for these past few weeks I've been trying to get Hikari with pranks, because we hate each other. but I've just called truce with her that's why I was at hers. I'm sorry." I said. There was no point in arguing back, i would only make things worse. I pulled her into a hug and kissed the top of her head. It felt good having Luna in my arms, maybe having her as a girlfriend wasn't as bad as I thought.

We stepped back and joined our hands, she smiled at me and we walked off the beach together. "Your hair looks darker today Gilly. And your cow-lick has black on the tip, why's that? It looks stupid!" she asked giggling.

Okay, I admitted to myself, maybe it isn't the best relationship ever, if she's going to annoy me like this.

Okay so that is it! I am so sorry this was going to be like 10 times longer but I've been stuck so I've cut it short and you'll get the other half of this in a bit. I just didn't want you all to wait for ever cause it's already been too long! So again I apologize for the delay and the fact that this has been cut short! I promise that I'll post the other half of this before the new year and I will keep that promise or you can kill me for it.

Cookies to everyone who read this because I'm late and I love you for reading it! A cake if you review! ;)

Thanks!
