Drew: so… let me get this straight; you're almost over with this
Me: You can put it that way
Drew: all in all without being the owner of the series or the manga
Me: I thought we had discussed this earlier
Drew: I know, just reminding you
Me: you're impossible!
Drew: no need acting, I know you like me
Me: *groans*
Drew: *chuckles* here's the new one
Me: How come that you're the only one here?
Drew: you tell me
Chapter 12: About to explode
The water drops falling frantically, the feats moving fast still cautious as not to fall, the stare fixed in some point far away from that spot and the heart pouring matching with the rain
No one would understand that's why she was running; no one would care, that's why she was crying; but really she was afraid of letting someone in just to be left alone once more….
She stopped at a familiar sight, a well-known park for the black-haired girl; she went to the swings and sat in one letting the tears fall down to the floor. Even then she didn't fail to notice the footsteps approaching her; she didn't look hoping that person would just go away, she didn't knew who was in front of her
"You'll catch a cold if you keep like this" said a male voice
She recognized the voice and gazed towards the owner, her eyes saw the red hair and the worried green eyes but she didn't show any emotions
"Why do would you care?" asked Kianni
He didn't answer but only leaned his umbrella over her head with a soft smile
"I just do" he said
She looked right to his green eyes noticing true inside them and a few tears felt over as she looked down again
"Sumimasei Kaoru-kun…. I'm just a bit out of mood" said Kianni
He offered her a hand and she gazed up for a second before taking it; he helped her up and she gave him a smile that made his heart skip a beat but smiled back all the same
She started feeling better just like that and started thinking of the reasons why that happened reaching one very important conclusion and blushed furiously; she looked elsewhere releasing his hand but he didn't noticed that much
"Ah… It's getting late" said Kianni
"Shall I walk you home?" said Kaoru
"Wouldn't that be a bit troublesome?" asked Kianni
"Not at all… besides I can't let you get any wetter" said Kaoru
She looked at him and he smiled managing to make her blush a little more; however she returned the smile and he felt relieved that she stopped crying
"Then let's get going or you'll catch a cold too" said Kianni
He smiled and they started walking together to her hose, in the way they talked a little about this and that
"I used to go to that park with Rukia when we were kids" said Kianni
"So basically you left before the so called accident" said Kaoru
"Pretty much, and that was when I meet Renge-Chan" said Kianni
She smiled at the memory and then started to laugh surprising him a little bit as the rain stopped
"Semanai… it just amuse me how much I got to remember" said Kianni
She smiled simply at him before looking straight into the road with a different expression, she felt a gaze fixed on her but not the gaze of the red-haired guy at her side… she looked at the direction of that gaze to see something that she didn't want to see and hurried her steps making him walk faster by effect
"What's going on?" asked Kaoru
"Just saw the most stubborn guy in earth" said Kianni
He worried a little when she said that, she had told them about this guy once and didn't seem as a nice guy, and grabbed her hand to lead her to the hose at a higher speed. She looked from the hand to him before feeling her heart start racing up, though she didn't think it was for the way they were running, she knew better than that
They reached her hose and slowed down, he let go of her hand and she started heading to the front door before turning to him for a second
"Arigatou ne, Kaoru-kun" said Kianni
She made a full smile for him before turning once more and disappearing inside the huge house; he had to calm down before heading home, he wondered what could had happen when he was gone until he saw a familiar face, it was that guy again
"Oh… so, you're still here" said Xian
He looked at him with a cold stare; one that he used to use while ago
"What could possibly bring you here?" asked Xian
"I could ask the same" said Kaoru
They just stared at each other until Xian finally turned and started to walk away
"She never stays in one place, so be ready to let her go when the moment comes" said Xian
He disappeared in the distance and Kaoru left to head to his house not able to get that from his mind, she did say that ever since Rukia died she moved every now and then, but she never mentioned having to move again… if she really was leaving she would say it, wouldn't she? She couldn't leave just like that…
OoOMeanwhileOoO
Kianni was dealing with her little mid-sister, helping her with a little matter that wasn't really that big… lately she had to deal with her 'brother'
"Where have you been?" asked Tony
"In the park" said Kianni
A smile playing in her lips with a pale blush on her cheeks
"Ah… Hime-sama came with a very nice guy" said Mary
"Who would that be?" asked Tony
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to know who he is" said Kianni
"I'm guessing he's one of those twins" said Tony
She didn't say a word but her smile grew wider as she walked pass him; she left the blond and the burnet alone so Tony looked at Mary expecting something
"I like him, he made the scary guy leave" said Mary
"If that person was here, how come that she's so happy?" asked Tony
"God oniisan, you don't get it at all" said Mary
The small blond left to look for the black-haired leaving a very confused burnet in the way, being the blond only seven years old and having both the burnet and black-haired the same age…
When Mary knocked her door she was glad it was her, she couldn't stand another talk with her overly jealous step-brother right now
"I wanna know!" said Mary
"What about?" asked Kianni
The blond closed the door and smiled at her
"The guy's name" said Mary
Kianni smiled absently and pointed her to sit in the bed with her
"His name's Kaoru" said Kianni
"He seems as a nice guy" said Mary
She looked at her younger sister and made a half-smile
"You can say that" said Kianni
"And as far as I heard he has a twin" said Mary
"You know? Sometimes you're pretty awesome" said Kianni
Mary smiled and she laughed before looking through the window
"Ne, Hime-sama… you like this guy?" asked Mary
She opened her eyes widely and the blond giggled; she looked elsewhere with a new doubt in her head
