Chapter 12: Ambitious Hirune

Hirune: Are you okay Koumei? I didn't mean to keep you waiting, do you need anything…?

Koumei: I'm fine… just tired, are you okay? You seemed a bit down when you were in the room with them.

Hirune: I just found out that someone I considered my best friend was actually my enemy the whole time. The only thing good thing about this is finding out that my mother is alive

Koumei: I hope you will get better, if you train hard enough I'm sure you can easily beat your enemy

Hearing those words Hirune impulsively pushes Koumei up against a wall. He looks down at her with a small blush on her face.

Hirune: Y-your always so nice to me and you don't mind that I sleep in odd places or eat more than it seems I should

Koumei: H-Hirune could we do this in m-my room… I wouldn't want anyone else to hear this

Hirune: O-oh right… (she moves from in front of him and helps walk to his room)

Koumei: What just happened, was she going to confess? Am I supposed to confess to her or do I sit there and listen. This is the first time I've seen her so ambitious when it comes to me…

Hirune: Pull yourself together girl! You got this far, you're not turning back now. He will know how much you love him. But Hirune what if he doesn't feel the same way you…? We'll find out when we get to his room.

Anxiously waiting for his answer Hirune opens the door to his room and closes it as he sits down. Curious to hear the rest of Hirune's ambitious speech he sat down and beckoned her to sit with him, using just a quick glance.

Koumei: What did you want to tell me so eagerly Hirune?

Hirune: I-I like you… Your a nice guy like I said earlier and I'm happy that you saved me those five months ago

Koumei: (sighs as he looks into her eyes) What make me so special to you Hirune? Every man here is nice to you, but why am I different from the rest?

Hirune: W-well your handsome… Your strong, tactical, and you come up with great strategies. Your also a great teacher, that's what Kougyoku said…

Koumei: You not giving me the answer I need Hirune (he pulls her closer to him slightly frustrated) why are you attracted to me?

At this point in time Hirune's train of thought was lost what comes out of her mouth now is something Koumei would not have expected.

Hirune: H-handsome… your handsome and when ever I see you my heart goes crazy and its because your always so calm and collected despite the pressure put on you. At first my feelings towards you were admiration and happiness. You saved me and I was grateful to you, like an older brother. Then something changed maybe it was the girls pressuring me so much or Kouha telling me about you from time to time. I started to see you as a man I could love, not like brother and sister love… that thought made me feel weird. I wanted and still do want to be someone you could trust, depend on, and confide in when you might feel insecure. I want to be someone that you could love even if they are flawed. I want you to love me for me like I love you for you, I love the way you fall asleep without a care and almost effortlessly come up with amazing strategies… Is this the answer you wanted from me?

Koumei lets go of Hirune surprised by her words and how genuine she sounded, he could do nothing but stare at her as his face turned red.

Koumei: Y-you really mean it right, all the stuff you said because if you don't then this would be totally wasted.

Koumei pulls Hirune into a tight, but loving embrace as he kissed her softly hoping this would show how much he loves her. Koumei didn't know how to verbally respond to her speech of love, so he decided that a kiss is the thing he could to express how he feels. After a good two minutes of kissing Hirune's and Koumei's lips separate.

Hirune: I mean it I really do! I love you and I see that you love me too

Koumei: I-I'm just glad that you understood how I felt… Hopefully after you defeat your enemy… we could- uh

Hirune: I know what you mean, just hold me and we can take a nap together

Koumei: I am pretty tired… (pulls Hirune into a hug and falls asleep with her)

What the two of them didn't know was that Kouha was watching the whole time.

Kouha: And to think she actually did and he kissed her, their so innocent it's adorable. I'm glad I walked by when I did, luckily I didn't open the door too much. Their secret maybe safe with me, but that doesn't mean I won't use this as blackmail against the both of them.

Kouha leaves the doorway of Koumei's room with a smirk on his face. In the end Koumei and Hirune got what they wanted, but didn't realize that someone had seen and overheard them.

A/N: Sorry to those who might be going to sleep, I had an idea and it needed to be typed before I forgot it for good. Hopefully this is worth me interrupting your time, I know I literally just updated, but this is worth it! Hope you enjoy!
