CHAPTER 14: The pale chested Sicko
NAGIHIKO POV
I honestly do not feel good about this.
"Yes, Ikuto. I am on my way right now….tell me again why I am on my way right now?" I groaned.
"Because," He reasoned on the other end of my Cell Phone, "You need to know exactly what is going on between those two."
"Why?" I asked annoyed even though I argued persistently I still found myself walking towards the shopping mall anxiously.
"Because you saw her first,"
"Doesn't sound like a proper reason." I mused.
"Look they are meeting at 12, It's um…..11:50 right now! Just locate Kairi and hide somewhere."
He makes it sound so simple.
"What if he is late?"
"He won't be,"
I really dislike Ikuto sounding smarter than me.
"Okay then."
"How far away from the mall are you?" Ikuto asked a little harsher than necessary.
"I have arrived,"
O.O.O.O
IKUTO POV
"Well go in!" I shouted slamming my phone shut. I am such a nice guy sometimes. Though I must say I was shocked when he told me he liked it. I mean they were so different. Well I guess in some ways they are similar. They both always have to be right; they both have freakishly long hair. Yet Oushi is so short and he is so Tall. He is wise and follows the rules, she is sarcastic and reckless.
Which brings me back to why?
How the hell did he find himself liking her? I mean why? They got in an argument the very first time they met, and so it became a tradition. He read her like a book which might not have been the best thing to do to Rima. Sigh. I hope he knows what he is doing. It would really help if we knew how Oushi felt. But only he can read her like that, and yet he doesn't know the most important thing? Sigh….
She doesn't tell anyone how she feels but….
Wait a minute. Time to pay my strawberry a little visit.
O.O.O.O
NAGIHIKO POV
Okay so um…..Target in sight…I guess.
Ikuto though I dread to say it was right. Kairi was not late; he stood near the fountain looking unusually cool. However, Rima was late. We (Kairi and I) Waited for her for over a half an hour.
She arrived looking prettier than usual which frustrated me but also made me anxious but that was probably due to the fact that I was stalking her!
Anyways, I made my way to the café that they were going to and luckily for me they sat near the window so I spied from behind a shelf of bonsais. An old man was selling them but I used my charm to persuade him to let me stay. (I told him it was for love)
They were talking normally Rima smiling every now and then. She was being unusually nice! What does she see in him? Does she really see something in him? What is it? And how can I get some?
Finally he blushed to the deepest shade of red which reminded me of Amu. If she was a strawberry then he is an apple. Rima looked like she was shocked her eyes were wide and she too was turning red, then she took her phone and stormed off down the hall, to the bathroom I presume.
What did he propose or something?
O.O.O.O
IKUTO POV
I made my way down the familiar neighborhood and stopped at the familiar house; I smirked and looked at the easily climbable ledge. I jumped a couple of feet upwards and landed on the balcony only to see Amu in her underwear with her hairbrush in her hands singing along to VH1.
"You make me feel like I'm living a Teenage Dream," She hummed shaking her…..
Why did I come here again?
I forget.
All I know is I am not letting go of this chance.
"The way you turn me on, I can't sleep, let's runaway…."
"Amu," I spoke interrupting her jam session.
"I-IKUTO!" She squealed jumping back a little.
"Do you always leave your balcony door open? Do you always sing in your panties? It's like you want the perverts to come and find you," I chuckled.
"I-Ikuto! S-S-stop talking like tha-G-GO DOWNSTAIRS!" She stammered.
"Nah, don't feel like it, why don't we stay here and you can sing for me." I grinned.
"I would love to sing for you…..downstairs….not here…..with my clothes on!"
"You do have clothes on, more than enough actually."
"Ikuto go down-AH!"
Next thing I knew I was on top of her pinning her down on her carpet.
"Sing," I commanded. Although she was red and looked abused she suddenly giggled.
"My heart stops when you look at me, Just one touch, now baby I believe,"
"Hell yeah," I whispered. Then well, we made out.
O.O.O.O
Alright so Rima returns from the bathroom and now they talk a little more, lots of laughter suddenly they come outside and walk towards the other side of the mall.
As I was following them however, I bumped right into a familiar looking girl.
"Captain F-Fujisaki!"
"Um…hello…." I greeted looking behind her to see if I could see Rima and Kairi off into the distance.
"You remember me right?" She asked moving in front of my gaze.
"Sorry….not really….."
"I'm Fujiwara Candy!" She said bouncing, "Direct Fujiwara descendent!"
"Oh….interesting….."
"You smiled at me you know…..at the game? Remember? Remember? I was a cheerleader…..Toyotomi….head cheerleader. Everybody knows me! Fujiwara Candy Direct, Fujiwara descent,"
"Oh yes I know….."
"You do!" She asked me excitedly.
"You just t-told me,"
"Of course…."She blushed, "Anyway wanna….."
"Sorry, I'm in a rush…gotta g-go…."
"You're acting strange you stalking someone or something?" She asked laughing.
I flushed.
"Goodbye," I said moving away from 'Candy'.
"No wait! Don't you want to party with Fujiwara Candy! Everyone wants to party with Fujiwara Candy!" She squealed, "Direct Fujiwara descent."
"Um…..busy….." I said exhausted.
"But I'm Fujiwara Candy!" She whined, "Direct Fujiwara descent!"
"I know!" I cut her off, "I don't want to 'party' okay?"
"Why! Why don't you want to party with Fujiwara Ca-"
I ran.
O.O.O.O
After I escaped the psycho child, with blonde hair that couldn't possibly be real, not like Rima's whose blonde hair is long and curly and suits her better than any other style in the world, I made my way across the mall.
Unfortunately "Candy" had set me off track and I had lost sight of Rima and Kairi. I wandered around the mall aimlessly. As I walked past the photo booth I heard laughter. Rima's laughter.
I stopped in my tracks and looked at the photos coming out of the booth. One was of Rima looking confused and Kairi looking….eh…cute?
The other one they both made funny faces, the second one Rima looked funny again and Kairi looked like he was constipated.
The fourth one Rima was laughing so hard and he was smiling at her. Grrr.
The last one Rima pushed out her lips and chest and played with her hair and Kairi looked like….
Kukai. Hmmm funny.
Anyway, this of course made me turn red with embarrassment and anger and confusion and I ran off quickly before they came out.
O.O.O.O
So I sat in solitude on a bench somewhere in a far off corner of the mall mourning of course I tried calling Ikuto several times but he wouldn't pick up. This is his entire fault.
I sighed and got up from my bench and walked slowly towards the exit. I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I barely noticed my name was called by a loud voice.
I turned around and saw no other than Mashiro Rima sitting on the mall bench alone. I blushed. She stood up abruptly as she gazed at me intensely as though she was examining me.
"Oushi!" I said taken by surprise a little.
"Hey," She frowned, "That is not my name, what are you up to you seem a bit sketchy."
Shit.
"I….."I began unsure what to say so I changed the subject by sitting beside her "What's up?"
"….." She looked at me for a moment before sighing and sitting back down, "Nothing just…..chilling by myself,"
"Oh….w-weren't you supposed to have your date t-today?" I asked. Unfortunately I stammered.
"yeah, I had it already…..but it didn't actually end, so I don't know if it counts as a date…" She rambled.
What! Did I miss something?
"Oh why is that?" I inquired trying to keep my voice as calm as possible.
"Kairi met up with Yaya and they had a nice vibe going on so….I didn't want to ruin it,"
"Nice vibe?"
"Well they do like each other," She said flatly.
"Kairi likes Yaya?" I coughed out. Conflicting emotions were taking over my body all at once.
"Yeah I know strange right? They're so different," She replied, her voice sounding tired.
"but I thought…." I muttered thinking about this whole mess.
"Thought what?" She asked curiously, her golden eyes twinkling.
"N-NOTHING! So d-did you and Kairi have a…. 'nice vibe'?" I coughed out quickly trying not to look at her pretty eyes.
That was probably not the best thing to say, considering she turned red like a cherry and looked away.
"Well he likes Yaya so…." She said quietly and uncomfortably.
"O-OH, okay…I mean I thought that you guys had a pretty goo-"
"What?"
SHOOOT! THINK NAGIHIKO THINK!
"Um….good compatibility I mean you're a what…..Gemini and he is a…..?"
"I don't think I am a Gemini….then again I never checked….so you think we are compatible?"
"NO!"
NO NO NO NO NO NO I DON'TTTT!
"You're strange," She mumbled, I could sense the amusement in her tone, "What's wrong with you Nag-evil, is it that time of month?"
"No, I just…..um…Do you want to do something?"
Did I say that out loud?
"Uh….O-Ok….but I was kind of looking forward to coming home," She replied exhaustion in her tone.
Great. Kairi tired her out! Now I got nothing! This whole trip was in vain!
I don't know how I'm going to do it….. But I will somehow, somehow I will find a way to blame Kukai.
"Oh well I could walk you there….." I suggested.
"You can come over for a visit if you like," She proposed excitedly.
"Oh I couldn't intrude like that…."
Don't wanna be rude.
"It's okay Amu's parents are gone so we are the head of the house! Even though her little sister seems to be fit for the job," She laughed, "So come!"
"Uh….okay." I agreed.
O.O.O.O
"So this is me and Amu's room," Rima said clutching the white doorknob leading to the bedroom "It's a bit pink and frilly but it's not my doing,"
"Of course it isn't," I teased.
"Is that sarcasm?" She grunted annoyed.
"Correct,"
"Shut up," She scowled, "Amu I'm coming in!"
…
Wow didn't see that coming.
"Amu WHAT THE HELLLLLL!" Rima shouted as she reacted to the scene before her. I coughed awkwardly unsure what to do.
"Sup Oushii?" Ikuto greeted Rima, USING MY NICKNAME FOR HER!
"R-RIMA!" Amu stammered.
"You better explain!" Rima shouted.
"Um well….." Amu stammered.
"Ikuto maybe we should….." I proposed.
"What?" Ikuto interrupted. I got angry and so I marched over there and dragged his half naked disgraceful ass out of my Rima's bedroom.
We made our way downstairs and sat around the dining table. Ikuto was still shirtless.
"Ikuto what the hell?" I muttered annoyed. He placed his elbow on the table and rested his chin on it, the he looked up and smirked at me.
"So you stole her back?"
"N-NO! It's not like that!" I stammered I could feel my face tingling and burning.
"Good job Nadeshiko! I knew it would work!"
"You caused me nothing but trouble!" I growled pointing angrily at him.
"What? Yet we're both here….at the girls house."
"So? That's my doing!"
"What! It's mine because you followed my plan!" Ikuto said rather contemptuously.
"Your plan made me crash into this bouncing Toyotomi sycho cow!"
"What. The. Fuck?" Ikuto said just staring at me weirdly, "You just sounded like…."
"Rima," A voice from behind giggled.
We both swung our heads around and saw a younger girl staring at us. She had the same eyes as Amu's only much wider and brighter and it stared right at us as she giggled. She had long caramel colored hair that was kept in a low ponytail, her hair was curly somewhat and I couldn't tell if it was natural or not. She was wearing a cute yellow and brown outfit and had a matching yellow purse too.
She was indeed very pretty.
"You sounded just like Rima!" She squealed giggling.
"You…." Ikuto said trailing off, "look like…."
"Amu's my sister it doesn't take rocket science to figure it out," She interrupted rather charismatically; for once Tsukiyomi Ikuto had been….well….topped. She stared Ikuto down with a smirk, "You're probably this Ikuto person I hear about day and freaking night,"
"Day and night huh," Ikuto mused laughing to himself. She smiled brightly at that comment for some reason, then she looked at me. Surprisingly enough I saw her blush slightly.
"Your cuter than I expected!" She squealed.
"Huh?" Ikuto and I said at the same time.
"Fujisaki Nagihiko, right?" She asked raising an eyebrow, "The irritating Fujisaki Nag-evil,"
"You're pretty sharp there kid," Ikuto commented.
"Same to you my friend," She said and winked at Ikuto, and then she went back to me she examined me and chuckled, "Hmm this is freaking hilarious. You and Rima are so different! You are obviously a calm person, and she has mental issues. She is short like an elf and you're tall like giraffe. Yet you can sound so much like her. Interesting…."
"Interesting?" I asked confused.
"I don't believe you introduced yourself," Ikuto said bitterly. She smiled.
"My apologizes. Though, naturally you should know my name." She giggled.
We just looked at her blankly. She pouted suddenly pressing her fists to her face reminding me of a young child throwing a tantrum.
"Amu didn't-" She began then she sighed. "I'm Hinamori Ami,"
"How old are you?" He asked again. Boy was he determined to find out about Ami.
"11 years, currently in my third year of junior high school," She answered adding a flawless smile.
"You must've skipped grades," Ikuto said somewhat taken back.
"Just a few. Unlike Big sis, I am a genius in every subject," She said haughtily, "I also sing flawlessly, dance flawlessly, and act flawlessly, I am the best dressed and can do hair better than any other girl in our entire district, I can assure you."
"You sure you're her sister?" Ikuto asked skeptically.
"No, I hang out at her house on the weekends for fun," She said sarcastically, suddenly her phone beeped from inside her yellow purse. She flipped it open and her fluffy phone strap swung about. She grouched angrily and texted in hyper speed then shut her phone.
"It was fun talking to you gentlemen," She said curtseying to us cutely, "However I have a prior engagement,"
"A date?" Ikuto inquired.
"Unfortunately," She sighed. Ikuto smirked devilishly.
"Come here for a second lil sis," Ikuto snickered gesturing her to come closer. She walked over towards him without hesitating. He pulled out something from his pocket and gave it to her in the palm of her hands.
"No thanks," She said shoving it back in his face, "I have plenty," She said with a wink.
His mouth dropped in surprise somewhat.
"Jokingggg~" She sang with a giggle, as she hopped off to the doorway.
"Goodbye," I said waving.
"Aww aren't you cute," she giggled.
I'm cute?
"I wonder if Rima thinks that way," Ikuto whispered to me.
"SHUT UP!" I stuttered blushing.
"Eh? So you like her, huh?" Ami giggled.
How did she hear that?
"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't tell a soul," She said giggling again as she made her way out the door.
It shut loudly and silence followed after. Ikuto grinned at me and went back to resting his chin in his hands. I sighed and leaned back on my chair glaring at him.
"She was kind of hot," Ikuto mumbled.
"Ikuto that's sick,"
"No it isn't. She knows she's hot. She tries; she winks smiles and uses her charm whenever she opens her mouth."
"oh like you," I chuckled.
"Exactly,"
"She is like Amu in a way," I mused. Ikuto smirked.
"Exactly like Amu. Their eyes twinkle when they smile, their whole body sways when they wink, they both pout when they are upset, and while their pouting…..two circles of blush perfectly highlight…." He trailed off and smirked to himself.
"Ikuto that's sick."
"What's sick?"
"Paying close attention to those details," I murmured.
"Oh like you didn't notice anything about Rima today,"
"Oh shut up," I growled.
"ALRIGHT LET'S PLAY SOME CARDS!" Rima screamed jumping into the dining area.
"Dominos too right?"
"Amu don't ruin it for me," Rima growled. Suddenly she saw Ikuto and sighed, "Put a shirt over that pale chest!"
Suddenly all three of us bursted into laughter as we enjoyed that small moment of bliss, like all the others that we have created so far this year, like all the others that are sure to come later.
