A scream woke me up from my sleep.

It was a loud, eardrum breaking scream that caused me to shoot up from my spot on the floor, clutching my chest. Kairi was already awake, sitting on the couch behind me, giggling quietly to herself. She was trying to hide it since the adults were already up and walking around. Sora slapped the pillow over his head groaning about how annoying she was.

"What the hell is going on?" I groaned, pulling the hood over my head as I wiped the sleep from my eyes.

"What the hell is going on, you ask?" Olette's bird like screech replied to me. "Look at me!"

And so I did.

The entire right side of her face, neck, and part of her right arm was stained blue. She was livid, and I couldn't blame her. If I was in her situation, I would have been livid too. Luckily, all of us had disposed of that evidence well enough that it wouldn't be tied to us in any way.

"You know, Olette," Kairi said from behind me. "Sometimes, if you sweat too much, the dye from the blanket can rub off on your skin. That's probably what happened."

Thank the lord the blanket was blue.

"Honey, I know you are upset," Mrs. Watanabe started.

"Damn right I am upset!"

"But, that is probably what happened. The weather probably made it really humid and you started to sweat. It is nobody's fault."

Roxas walked into the room with a wash cloth, handing it to the smurf that was standing in the kitchen. Her screaming and crying went on for a while before the Aoki's apologized for their cheap blankets (which they weren't) and the Watanabe's said their goodbye's, Olette kissing Roxas with her ugly face.

The rest of our parent's then lectured us, asking us if we knew what happened, but we all played innocent. It took a while, but our parent's finally accepted it and said they were all going out to eat and shop for Black Friday.

Once they were gone, Kairi and Sora scrambled upstairs and Roxas looked at me with a glare.

"I'm not stupid, you know," he said as he folded up the blankets. I looked at him with sleepy eyes.

"I have no idea what you are talking about," I told him, placing the pillows on top of each other.

"You guys are the ones who did that to her."

"You got proof?"

"I don't need it. I know you guys."

I let out a large sigh. "Roxas, I'm sorry, but it had to be done. Someone needs to teach that bitch a lesson about respect. I'm tired of her attitude. And it's not even about you most of the time. She just acts like a damn gorilla around me for no reason. If anything, I should be a bitch to her!"

"Well what you did was kind of bitchy."

I rolled my eyes. "Now I am a bitch to her. I tried to play it civil, I really did. But I can't handle her shit anymore, Roxas. I just can't."

Roxas let out a groan before running a hand through his hair.

"Just don't get me involved, okay? My relationship with her is already on the rocks as is," he told me.

What?

"Wait, so you really do like her?" I asked him, skeptically. I mean, if he was really worried about the relationship-

"No, that's not it."

"So you don't like her?"

"God dammit, Namine. Just, don't get me involved okay?"

I narrowed my eyes at him. "There is something you're not telling me."

"I know. I will tell-"

"You everything eventually. I know the drill already," I pouted, grabbing the spare pillows and hauling them upstairs.

I really needed some shopping therapy.


Once I got home, I showered off till the point of where my skin turned red. Partly because I was in the radius of Olette, but also because I was furious. Roxas won't tell me anything on how he feels. It has to be one big god damn secret and I was tired of it. I hated not knowing what was going on. It was as if if I found out, something bad would happen.

Well something bad was going to happen if Roxas didn't open his fucking mouth and tell me what was going on!

I threw on some basic clothes and my black peacoat and chunky red scarf (that Roxas bought me last year) and texted Kairi.


To: Kairi
From: Namine

Come and get me.
Let's go shopping.

To: Namine
From: Kairi

I'll bring my battle gear


Even though it was Black Friday and all of the crazy people were out, I would get the best deals for my Christmas presents at this time. Everything always got more expensive closer to Christmas and I wasn't rich like the Aoki's to be able to buy everyone's presents at those prices.

The only person I would wait a little longer to buy for would be Kairi, since she was with me.

"So he made it seem like he didn't like her, but when you asked that, he got all mad?" Kairi asked as I was explaining to her what happened this morning. I sighed, adjusting my purse on my shoulder.

"I don't get it," I told her. I seriously felt like shit. How was I supposed to win him back when he was being stupid.

Stupid Roxas.

"He so likes you," Kairi smirked.

"What in the hell, Kairi? How do you get that out of what I told you?" My jaw dropped as I looked at her. Seriously, was she thinking straight? DId those jell-o fumes get to her too?

"I know it's an asshole move to hide all this stuff, but if he won't straight up tell you that he is serious about Olette, then something else is going on. He said his relationship is on the rocks, which means he really doesn't want to be in the relationship, cause Olette is making it look like everything is peachy," Kairi said as she looked up and down the aisles for some perfume for her mom.

"Well, it's still stupid."

"I still think Olette is the reason he's stuck in this position." Kairi thought for a moment. "The Watanabe's did buy the Aoki's company."

I crossed my arms, blowing some of my bangs out of my face. "You really think her parent's would go so low as to blackmailing Roxas just so the company can stay afloat?"

Kairi shook her head quickly. "No, I think Olette herself is blackmailing Roxas. Maybe she told him that unless he dates her, she is going to convince her parent's to stop funding the company. And you know Roxas will do anything for his family."

"But if that's the case, it makes me even less motivated to win him back. Because if that's why he is doing it, I don't want to be the bitch that caused his family to go broke."

Kairi thought for a moment. She did have to admit that I had a point. Cause I always had points.

"I have an idea," She said quickly as we walked over to the men's department, pushing through psycho women who were tugging at items with each other. "What if we find evidence that this is her plan and show it to her parents? That way, they know what Olette is doing and then Roxas can dump her ass without any side effects!"

"How are we going to do that?"

"Well, first we have to get Roxas to admit to you what is really going on. Then, once we get him on board with what we are doing, we recruit all of our friends to do some spying on her. Maybe we can even sneak into her house and find her diary or some shit."

That did seem like a good plan. Though Roxas did say he didn't want to be involved in anything that we did to her.

Oh fuck a duck, he's going to be involved whether he likes it or not.

We are doing it to help him! (And myself in the long run.)

Turning and glancing at everything in the men's department, I tried to find some good gifts. I had already picked up a video game a while back for Sora, which he has been begging for for months. My dad gets new tie from myself. Finally, I looked at a black and white watch that was normally extremely expensive for ninety percent off.

"You should get that for Roxas," Kairi said as she balanced her things in her arms.

"Yeah?"

She smiled at me.

Now, to get back to the front of the store without bitches grabbing at our stuff.


"No stop, I'm going to kill you," I growled.

Sora was currently sitting on my back, holding my arms behind me. Kairi had ditched us to go shopping with her mother, so I was left with an extremely bored brunette.

"I won't until you tell me."

I wanted to choke out the bitch that was on me. I have never harbored such hatred toward anyone. Well, that was a lie. I hated Olette. But right now, Sora would have to be the target of my anger.

"If you don't get off of me, I will yell 'sexual harassment.'" I turned my head and glared.

"Then tell me," he shot back.

"You have to wait until Christmas like the rest of the little children!" I screamed.

"You know, Namine, I thought you were pining after Roxas still, not trying to steal Sora from Kairi," I heard Mrs. Aoki's voice travel into my ear. That wonderful woman was standing with bags in her arms, smirk on her face.

"She wishes she could have me," Sora laughed, finally letting my arms go. I rolled to the side, crushing him under my body as I rubbed my arms, as they were sore from Sora's fucking vice like grip.

"I think that's the other way around, sweetie," I told him as he struggled to breath.

Standing, skipping my way over to look at what Mrs. Aoki bought, I could tell something as up. Because I learned from this woman, I had the same expressions, motions, and aura. So I could tell she was up to no good when she pulled a bag aside, placing it on the floor next to her.

"What's that?" I asked her, narrowing my eyes. I wasn't' afraid to challenge Mrs. Aoki. Sora looked up from his spot on the floor before walking over and sitting on the other side of the table to face us.

"Well, you know how you said you were trying to get Roxas back, right?" Mrs. Aoki said deviously.

I gulped.

Nothing good will come out of this tone of voice.

I know because I have the same tone when I have bad ideas.

She held up a black bag and slid it over to me. I looked at her nervously. Sora stood and leaned over my shoulder before I screamed and pulled the bag to my chest in order to hide it from Sora.

Unfortunately, the nosy idiot saw, as he was blushing like mad.

"Oh, grow up you two. You're basically legal adults now," Mrs. Aoki waved her hand.

"But-but, this is lingerie!" I whisper-shouted.

"So you can seduce him with, obviously!"

"Seduce who?" And enter the little fucker.

I flipped around so fast and looked at Roxas who was looking between his smirking mother and Sora and my blushing faces.

"No one!" I squeaked, grabbing my keys off the table. "I'll see you guys later!"
