Akuma: Today's song is 'Sleepy Head' by the Pillows. THe Japanese is in Bold, the English is in BoldItalics. Instead of putting the translations in between the paragraph, I'll just put the translation after the Japanese. Did that make sense. Also, I wish that you would look this song on YouTube or somewhere and listen to it while reading this chapter. What's really pissing me off, remember when I said i lost the sheet that gave my whole plan for the story dissapeared, well when i was looking through my favorite notebook with my best drawings in it, I found it. + I was soooo mad I almost blew off the top of the roof. But I'm going with my plan that I had to redo...because it's better. Along with the fact I think I found the singing voice for Chiyo, but I'm not sure. I'm thinking of switching that voice with Arashi's. But the song that has the voice in it has to be sung by Chiyo because it's what's going to happen to her later in the story. But this is sung by thinks Misuteru. So, this is Misuteru's voice. and I just thought of that up.

Chapter 13: Sleepy Head

Arashi glanced back at the following wolf-raven. She found it was difficult fo her not to be looking at him. She glanced back at him again, she could feel the false warmth of blushing on her cheeks.

"Is there something wrong, Arashi-chan?" Misuteru said wondering why she kept on glancing at him.

"No," Arashi looked with an angry expresion towards him, as she would perform anyday to anyone, "There is nothing wrong."

Misuteru knew that she was hiding something, that was false anger, "Then why do you keep glancing back at me?"

She slightly hunched when she knew that the anger cover-up wasn't working. "I...I was...just checking if you were going to do anything perverted like back at the boat." with her head turned, she smirked with her recent move, He's gotta have a hard time beating that.

"Ah...well, I'm sorry about that."

Wow, what a weakling, but I guess he did comit a great move, She smirked, He's not that bad, She frowned when she knew what she was saying, Come on, Arashi, just give him up. It's not like you to invite a man when he just kissed you without warning. "Keh, just because I'm inviting you doesn't mean that I accept your moves as appropiate in my presence, but" she turned quickly to him, a thought just jumped in her head, "Don't take this the wrong way, but that story hit me in my heart, and lets say I want to learn more about Ireland than what my teacher saw." She spun on her heels and lead the way to Kousen's hut.

Misuteru could sense she was choking those words, She's lieing, but...what does she want covered up?

Akuma's fingers turned to fist, her teeth clenched, damn...why do I feel this way. She noticed she took hard steps and it made her legs weary too fast. And she paused, "I think we should rest for a bit. It will take a while before we reach my hut."

The wolf-raven nodded and leaned against the nearest tree, looking at Arashi. Even though he could tell she was mad about something, she looked beautiful. He wondered how her hair got that way naturally, black tips on white. Her Indigo eyes seemed ot look beautiful and always sad on her ivory face. Her wolf ears that looked like fox that went along with her tail both fit perfectly in the picture. He just wished she would let him hug her until she cried her heart out to him. But she grew up with a cold heart, one that no one could get through. He could tell she promised that she would not love anyone, being a hanyou, she only thought of love as something of pity, not of true love. She didn't want pity. Also, hanyous do have a habit of trying to be stronger than youkais in everyway, even love.

She sat on a boulder, and had her back faced towards Misuteru while her eyes blending into the sky as she looked towards it. "Damn..." she wisped.

I have such a Sleepy Head... Misuteru sighed before he started singing in his head. Unkown to him that Arashi was singing the same song in her head.

This is not my dream

It's not the goal that I'm suppose to aim for

Aren't I being myself?

No. That's not it

By Falling in love with an incomplete love

I am sinking

Sleepy Head

I want to knock it out

I'm not just a sacrifice

It's not a simple game

Aren't I being myself

No. That's not it.

By taking unhealthy actions

I become clear-headed

Sleepy Head

I want to knock it out

I'm looking at the outside of a window

I'm looking at the withered rainbow
Isn't it become of me

Yes. I'm Sleepy Head

By falling in love with an incomplete love I am sinking

By taking unhealty actions I become clear-headed

This my head

I want to knock it out.

Houshou looked towards the ground, his thoughts in a muddle. What do I do... What if she says no? He clenched his teeth with those thougts. There has got to be a better way? Come on Houshou, you know that if you don't do it now...you'll lose her.

The wolf girl followed behind him, her thoughts muddled as well, What is Houshou worried about? She followed his gaze a few times, but only led to the ground. His eyes were mixed thoughts, not that they showed clear mind, the haven't lately. She looked opposite of the wolfdog, Houshou, Houshou...

"Chiyo..." he finally spoke.

Chiyo was kinda surprised by his sudden outburst and turned to him, "Yes, Houshou-kun."

"I was wondering..." he turned to her face, she looked so beautiful. Then it struck him, they were alone... no males to come in miles. There were no scent of any approaching. He blushed even more. He could do anything to her at this moment... but if Chiyo got angry, he would have to handle the wrath of both Kiba and Miyuki, (maybe even Chiyo) and possibly never let young Chiyo see him ever again. So he had to have his youkai mating hormones wait in dormant, "I was wondering..."

"You said that twice..." Chiyo sighed, "You've been quiet all day, and you keep on wanting to tell me something. "But...really Houshou" her voice got serious. An angry glint in her eye doubled the arrow of the glare, "If you are really going to ignore me, then I might as well say no..."

Houshou's eyes widened, "W-what..."

"Did you not hear me? I said that if you are really going to ignore me, then I might as well leave." she spun on her heals, nose to the sky and hands behind her back.

He knew that mishearing her words was all the more proof that he was holding in too long, and he knew that if he held it even longer, something drastic would happen. Chiyo was allready getting mad at him. "Chiyo-chan, wait."

Chiyo turned to him, "What, and this had better be it."

Houshou bit his tounge, but then he breathed in and let it out, "I wanted to ask you...Chiyo...If you would be my..." he bit his lip, so hard that he think he punctured the flesh. While Chiyo stared at him with her amber eyes that were dotted with emerald, full of angst.

Arashi had her back to the boulder, her eyes trailed up to the sky, and one arm shaded her eyes from the sun, Is this feeling, she finally decided after a long period of thinking, love? Or is it just him taking pity on me? She looked to Misuteru, he was still leaning against the tree, staring at her. She blushed and turned her head again, Dammit, why do I keep on wanting to look at him...and why is he still looking at me? She cold feel his stare still on her.

He sighed, Arashi-chan, you're a tough heart...and I see you are confused.

I do not love Misuteru..., she clenched her fist in unison with the teeth. I do not love Misuteru-kun. I promised myself that I would never love anyone and become stronger than any youkai. Youkai's don't fall in love so easily, cause they do not have a human heart...like I do. She placed on of her hands over her beating human heart that was pumping youkai blood, I do not love Misuteru-kun. She repeated again in her mind. Misuteru-kun means nothing to me...I will not fall for his swoon. She glanced at the wolf-raven, not moving from his spot, then she rolled to her side away from him, her eyes confused. I do not love...Misuteru-kun... Do I?

Chiyo still stared at him, blood drop dropping from his lip from bitting on it too hard, "You see, Chiyo-chan" he gagged out, "I..."

"Hmm..." her eyes widened, he was actually going to say what was bothering him.

"You see, Chiyo, I ...I ..." he found the words more difficult to blot out that he thought. He wished that some unknown force would knock him down so he didn't have to do anything, "Chiyo I..."

Chiyo growled, "Just stop saying my name and I..." she snorted.

Houshou felt his whole body shiver, and then, with out controling him self he blurted, "CHIYO I LO-"

"Excuse me," a voice interupted his outburst.

Houshou stood there, his mouth agape, shaped in an O and almost going to a V. His eyes trailed to the new voice, and he trembled. It was a handsome raven youkai, a smirk played across his face while he hand strong muscular figures that showed through his kimono. He looked over to Chiyo and almost died, she had the look of when a teenage girl has seen the handsome male of the village, love was in her eyes. No...

"Younge Chiyo-chan" he stepped up to Chiyo and took her hand and kissed it gently.

Chiyo blushed, forgeting that Houshou was even there.

Houshou still had his mouth glued to the ground, his eyes even wider. This might actually be the first male that had asked her and she would say yes.

"Excuse my outburst," he smiled warmly towards Chiyo, "I'm Tsurai"
