"What do you mean you're going out today?" I asked angrily, Shinji chuckled in amusement at my tone of voice.
I crossed my arms over my chest, leaning the majority of my weight on my right side. I narrowed my olive green eyes into a glare, not happy in the least with my so called "husband." He thought he could go out without me? Ok, that sounded extremely possessive. Let me rephrase that statement. He thought he could go out without telling me where he was going, what the fuck? He grimaced a little at the look I was giving him and scratched the back of his head nervously.
"Like I just said, I'm goin' out today with the guys." Shinji repeated.
I could hear all the men whispering to each other over by the exit, but I didn't really give a shit what they were saying. I had a feeling they were all rather impatient right about now, wanting to get out of the warehouse to go do…whatever they were planning on going out to do. Shinji wasn't leaving here though until he told me where the fuck he was going.
"Where are you going?" I inquired, chewing on my lower lip in attempt to occupy my thoughts; he chuckled again.
"Gomen love, that's a secret." he teased, I kicked him straight in the knee.
"Itai!" he whined, dropping to the floor.
I watched him rub his knee, muttering curses under his breath, and I tapped my foot impatiently against the floor. He deserved the pain, and there was no way in hell I was apologizing to him. He needed to stop whining about something he deserved and tell me where the fuck he was going.
"What was that fer Kai-chan?" he complained, looking up at me.
I pursed my lips as he got to his feet, thinking about the utterly useless question that had just spewed from his mouth. "What was that for?" He should've known what the hell that was for. He was keeping secrets from me, and I hated when Shinji kept secrets from me. It pissed me off to a good degree, and he knew it did. So why was he insisting on not telling me what was going on in that mischievous little head of his?
"You should know what it's for boge." I shouted, Hiyori chuckled some distance away from us.
"This is gonna be good." she mumbled.
I knew both Lisa and Mashiro were who she was talking to. All the boys were going out today so that left all us girls in the warehouse by ourselves. Shinji gave me a deadpan stare, looking utterly serious, and said
"Honestly Kaori, I have no clue what's goin' on in yer head." I narrowed my eyes again, glaring darkly at him.
"Hirako Shinji you asshole, you better fucking tell me." I yelled angrily. I grabbed the collar of his shirt, getting right up in his face, and glared harder at him.
"Oh yeah, this is gonna be real good." Lisa whispered, agreeing with Hiyori's earlier statement.
Shinji let out a short sigh, looking as though he didn't understand where all my anger was coming from. He should've known though, especially since he'd been the one to start it all. Last night had been when it started, right after Rose had finished talking with Shinji "privately." Since my ankle had gotten all fixed up, I'd been able to go to the second part of the day's training. Shinji and I normally partnered up during training, it'd been that way for years. I was extremely surprised when he said he wanted to partner with Hiyori for the day, but I hadn't gotten jealous or anything. I was the jealous type, I'll admit it, but I knew nothing was ever going to happen between Hiyori and Shinji. I'd allowed it without a fight and just worked with Lisa for the day. Things hadn't really seemed all weird or so I thought. After training was over with, we all ate dinner together like normal, but Shinji didn't talk to me all that much. That's when I started getting a little nervous, had Rose said something to upset Shinji with me? After dinner, I'd went to my room without even stopping by Shinji's room. I figured if Shinji wanted to talk to me, he'd come to me like he always had…he hadn't. I'd stayed up for over half the night, waiting for him to come to my room, nothing. That's when I'd gotten worried. This morning we didn't have training, and Shinji skipped breakfast by sleeping in.
Now it was around lunch time, and Shinji had just randomly come up to me and said he was going to spend the day with the boys. Normally that wouldn't have bothered me, even if he didn't tell me where he was going or how long he'd be gone. The only reason I was so angry and flustered right now was because of the tension between the both of us. He hadn't ever acted this way towards me…never. Now he was just deciding he wanted to get out of the warehouse and not tell me where he was going, who did he think he was? Ok, yeah. He was Hirako Shinji, former Taichou of the Fifth Division in Soul Society but that didn't mean a damn thing now. We were all Visoreds, we weren't taichous and fukutaichous anymore. He had no fucking right to do this to me, that complete and total worthless piece of trash. I was pissed off, I didn't think I'd ever been so angry in my entire life. Shinji wasn't going anywhere.
"What's with that look huh?" I demanded, still sounding extremely angry. "Don't know why I'm so angry, do you?"
'If he values his tongue, he'll answer wisely.'
"No Kaori, I really don't know." Shinji said bluntly, my jaw dropped.
He didn't know why I was angry…what the hell? Normally he could read me like a book, he knew me better than anyone, and he didn't know why I was upset with him? What the fuck was going on? Did he just not care anymore or something? We'd been together for a good century, he should've been able to always know when I was angry or upset…even when I hid it from everyone. Right now though, my anger had disappeared, I felt extremely hurt. I'd only ever felt this hurt once in my entire life, and that time actually hadn't been over Shinji. I released his collar, taking a small step back, and stared at him with my jaw still dropped.
"Excuse me?" I breathed, he shoved his hands in his pockets.
"Honestly Kaori, I don't know what I did to piss ya off so much." he said nonchalantly. "You seemed fine with me yesterday, what'd I do?"
I felt my eyes widen, he didn't even know what he'd done…what the hell was going on here? Hadn't he noticed how little we talked yesterday? I could feel my throat going dry, my breathing seemed to slow down, and my heart was beginning to ache a little. I couldn't believe he didn't care enough to notice that he'd hurt my feelings…what was his deal?
"Am I allowed ta go yet?" he asked me, raising an eyebrow.
I blinked dumbly, nodding a little; I just needed him away from me right now. He grinned at me, moving a little closer to kiss me goodbye. I backed away from him and did something I'd never done in my whole life to anyone, I slapped him right across the face. It was such a girly thing to do, I normally punched people in the face. I couldn't even force my own limbs to do what I wanted them to, I slapped him like a fucking girly girl. I wasn't a girly girl when it came to defending myself or my pride, I was tough as nails, but right now…I felt so vulnerable. He blinked, looking at me confused.
"Don't even try to act like things are ok with us Hirako Shinji." I yelled, narrowing my eyes into an acidic glare. "You know what you did, but if you're not going to even apologize to the girl you've been with for years then fuck you."
I turned on my heel and strode out of the room, wiping at my eyes. I couldn't believe he was making me cry, this was the second time in the world of the living I'd ever cried. He was such a bastard, that good for nothing jerk. I trudged up the stairs, trying to keep myself more angry than upset and stomped down the hallway. I walked into my room, slamming the door shut behind me and flopped down on my bed. I grabbed my pillow, burying my face in it and cried softly. I coughed a few times, a result of me trying to hold in the tears and even sneezed a little. I wiped at my eyes, crying even harder and heard a quiet knock at my door.
"If it's Shinji then go away." I choked, pulling half my face out of the pillow.
The door opened, in walked Mashiro. I swallowed hard, moving my face back into my pillow and heard the door shut. I listened to Mashiro's light footsteps cross my floor, and I felt the bed shift a little when she sat next to me. She placed her hand on my back, rubbing my back comfortingly and said
"Shinji's left with the boys, if you want to come downstairs you can."
I almost smiled at how grownup she was being, Mashiro knew how to be an adult when the occasion called for it. She was very understanding of people's feelings, and she knew how to comfort people in the correct way. Everyone needed to be comforted in a different way, everyone wasn't the same when it came to their feelings and emotions. I felt rather bad for Mashiro because she'd never comforted me before, I knew she had her work cut out for her. It'd been hard for Kyoraku to keep my spirits up back in Soul Society, I had a feeling Mashiro would have a harder time than him.
"We're all here for you Kaori-chan." Mashiro told me, I moved half my face out of the pillow. "All us girls, Lisa-chan and Hiyori-chan and myself, are here for you." I actually did smile at that.
"Hiyori too huh?" I joked sullenly, Mashiro smiled softly.
"Hai, even Hiyori-chan." Mashiro confirmed.
I nodded a little, forcing myself to move out of the bed, and Mashiro handed me her handkerchief. I nodded in thanks, wiping at my eyes and nose and walked across the room to the door with Mashiro. We both head down the hallway together in silence, descending down the stairs into the den. Lisa and Hiyori looked away from talking to each other, Lisa smiled a little at me. I plopped down in the floor with the two of them beside Mashiro, rubbing my arm in the attempt to occupy my thoughts. She moved her arms around me, hugging me tightly, and I moved my face into her shoulder. We all sat there quietly for a minute or two before I finally managed to pull myself together. I moved out of the hug, wiping at my eyes again with the handkerchief.
"Are you alright Kaori?" Lisa asked, sounding slightly concerned; I shrugged at the question.
"I can beat him up fer ya when he gets back if ya want me to." Hiyori offered, I shook my head.
"No…it's fine." I mumbled, Mashiro put her arm back around my shoulders comfortingly.
"You need to tell us what he did, get it off your mind." she advised, I sighed quietly. "What's he done to upset you." I blinked, hating how simple it was. It was going to sound stupid to them, I knew it was.
"He avoided me all of yesterday after Oni-chan talked to him, I thought he might've just been thinking about everything they talked about. I figured he'd come talk to me last night about everything…but he didn't. He hasn't actually talked to me since yesterday…why's he avoiding me? Did I do something wrong?" That's when I lost it, I started crying again. Mashiro's arm around my shoulders tightened, and Lisa shook her head.
"That asshole, what's his problem?" she muttered, asking a rhetorical question out loud.
Hiyori looked especially angry right now, she always did get angry with Shinji. But right now, she looked like she was ready to murder him a million times over. I didn't think I'd ever seen her so angry with him.
"What'd I do?" I repeated, absolutely loathing how I couldn't control my own feelings right now.
"Ya didn't do nuthin Kaori." Hiyori told me, sounding serious. "Whatever his problem is, he'll get over it. He'll come crawlin' back to ya."
I smiled a little, loving how Hiyori was implying that I was the alpha in my relationship with Shinji. It wasn't exactly true but hey. Right now it was sounding extremely appealing, and the idea was making me feel a little better.
"Arigato Hiyori." I mumbled, she nodded a little.
"Want some ice cream?" she offered, knowing how much I loved ice cream. I nodded in agreement, happy she was offering to get me ice cream, and said
"Could you get me the whole carton of vanilla and bring me the chocolate syrup?" She nodded in confirmation, hopping up from the floor and head into the kitchen to get my sweets. I looked back to Mashiro, smiling when she gave me another hug.
"Maybe he's just going through something, and he's distancing you to keep you safe." she guessed, I shrugged.
I hoped Shinji would tell me when he was going through something, we'd been together for a long while, we should've been able to trust each other with everything. I trusted Shinji with my life, but did he not trust me…? I smiled a little when Hiyori dropped the ice cream in my lap, handing me a tablespoon rather than a teaspoon, and the bottle of chocolate syrup.
"Arigato."
I ripped the top off the carton, drowning the vanilla ice cream in chocolate, and dug my spoon into the ice cream. I shoved a spoonful in my mouth, ignoring how cold it felt. It was numbing the hurt I was feeling so I wasn't planning on complaining. I ate another bite, hissing when Lisa grabbing the syrup. Why was she taking the syrup from me? That bitch. My jaw dropped when she tipped her head back, squirting some of the syrup in her mouth. She laughed a little at my face once she'd swallowed it all, and that even managed to make me laugh. Why the hell had I even hissed at her, and her drinking the syrup right out of the bottle…what the fuck? She never did something like that.
"What the fuck Kaori? What's with the hissing?" Lisa asked, still laughing. I shrugged, having no clue and giggled quietly.
"Gomen Lisa." I apologized, licking the syrup off my spoon. "I have no idea where that came from." Hiyori rolled her eyes at me, not understanding my randomness in the least. "Well, what was with you drinking the syrup out of the bottle? Aren't you afraid of getting my germs?" Lisa rolled her eyes, giggling quietly.
"Of course I am Kaori." she teased, I wrinkled my nose. "I just had a huge chocolate craving."
I laughed, how the hell did that make sense? She was afraid of getting my cooties and germs and shit, but she was still willing to listen to her chocolate craving and drink it out of the bottle? Lisa was crazy…but totally awesome.
"Turn on the tv, let's see if anything good's on." Hiyori suggested, Lisa nodded in agreement.
I watched Lisa turn the television on, searching through the channels for something good to watch. It seemed like television could occupy my thoughts for right now, it could be rather distracting when it wanted to be…depending on what was on. Lisa finally stopped on channel thirty two, it was an all day movies channel. I was curious about what was going to be on today, oh yeah. Extremely hot guy on the screen, with no shirt, yum. Mashiro giggled next to me. Ok wait, Mashiro didn't check guys out…right? She was with Kensei after all. She said
"Do you know what would be fun?" We all turned our attention to her, wondering what was going on in that green head of her's.
"Nani?" Lisa asked cautiously, as if she was expecting an outburst of some sort. Mashiro smiled sweetly, looking more innocent than usual. Ok, something was definitely going on in her head. What was she planning?
"Girl day!" Mashiro exclaimed, I fell over in surprise. Girl day…that meant talking about boys, makeup, other girly things. Oh shit! I couldn't wait to hear Hiyori complain about-
"What the fuckin' hell?!" Hiyori shouted, pointing at Mashiro. "There's no fuckin' way I'm doing any of that girly shit."
-the girl day.
The pendulum swings back.
The story barreling towards the future will stop for an instant, so that we may peer into the past.
Though it was only the briefest of moments, its effects were wide-spread and long-lasting.
"So wait….you dumped her?" I repeated.
Shinji nodded, a wide grin on his face. I felt my cheeks go warm in embarrassment, he was just so fucking attractive. I didn't understand how he could smile at me, and it would embarrass me to the point that I would blush. How did that make any sense at all? How can smiling at someone make another person blush? Then again…thinking naughty things might've been the reason I got all red faced. I blinked, shaking my head of the thoughts and twirled a strand of hair around my finger.
"What'd she say?" I inquired, he chuckled.
"Someone's a lil nosy today." he teased, I stuck my tongue out childishly.
"So what?" I asked nonchalantly, shrugging my shoulders. "Today's been boring as fuck, I need something to entertain me until I can go back to my room for the night." Shinji rolled his eyes, leaning across my desk and stopped a few inches short of my face.
"Ya have five minutes Kaori." he stated, I wrinkled my nose.
"Big deal, that's still forever long." I complained, he chuckled.
He reached up, moving my bangs out of my eyes, and leaned closer to my face. I felt blood rushing to my cheeks again, my breath caught in my throat, my heart pounding against my ribcage. I felt my eyes slip shut, and I leaned closer to kiss him. No one was here, Youta had already gone back to his room, we could definitely get away with kissing. I opened my eyes when a good ten seconds passed without any lip contact, my eyes narrowing into a glare seeing the smirk on Shinji's face. That jerk, he could've at least kissed me, fucking tease.
"What the hell?" I exclaimed, he chuckled in amusement.
"Nani Kai-chan?" I wrinkled my nose, not pleased in the least about how he was acting.
"You're a frickin' tease." I stated, feeling a little frustrated. "You could've kissed me." Shinji smirked a little, pressing his lips against my forehead and said
"Here's not safe my little love, you should know that." I pouted at the fact that he was right, but I didn't care. So what if it wasn't safe, it's not like it'd stopped us before. "Just wait a lil longer."
I bit down on my lower lip in annoyance and leaned back in my chair, hating that I couldn't leave for two more minutes. This was taking forever, I was dying of kiss deprivation. I let a sigh pass through my lips and scratched my cheek boredly. I glanced up at Shinji through my lashes, giggling at the wanting look on his face.
"Like what you see?" I teased, he chuckled in agreement.
"A good number of things." he answered, sounding incredibly sexy. I felt my cheeks go hot, thinking about all the things I wanted him to do to me and pulled my hair up into a high messy bun. "So you wanna know about Kazuma, right?"
I nodded eagerly, I couldn't wait to hear about her reaction to Shinji dumping her. He actually hadn't immediately dumped her when she got back, we'd decided it would be too suspicious. So I'd had to wait a good two weeks before we figured he could get away with dumping her without anything horrid happening. I'd continued to torture her by assigning her "awful" assignments. As soon as she arrived back, I assigned her a pretty lousy mission, something to do with rats I was pretty sure. She was pissed off about it too, which made it all the better...for me at least. Now I was so excited, I wanted to know every single detail about how the dumping went.
"What happened, spill your guts." I demanded, Shinji rolled his eyes.
"Alright already, jeez. Yer startin' to get on my nerves." he groaned, I hit him upside the face with a folder. "Itai! What the hell was that fer?" I wrinkled my nose, tossing the folder back on my desk.
"What do you think, baka." I rolled my eyes seeing the face he was making at me, that jerk. "Just tell me before I decide I don't wanna have sex." I warned, he quickly nodded in agreement.
"Ok ok. Don't do anything drastic love." he asked of me, I grinned.
"Then tell me what the fuck happened." He let out a short sigh before saying
"Ok, she came over like normal. Complainin' about you, believe it or not." he told me, I chuckled quietly in amusement. "Somethin' about ya makin' her clean the floors of the training room." I chuckled again, nodding. Something else I'd learnt from Youta's spying mission, Kazuma loathed cleaning. "She was pretty damn angry, I'd never seen her so flustered before. She started insultin' ya, pissed me off. Then, I told her we were through."
My jaw dropped, she started insulting me infront of Shinji? Was she that retarded or something? She knew Shinji and I were best friends *cough* and secret lovers *cough* so why would she do something so stupid as to insult me infront of him? I bet he'd gotten extremely pissed off with her, did I care? Fuck no!
"Really, she cry?" I asked curiously, secretly hoping she had. Shinji nodded in agreement, I smirked in amusement.
"I didn't feel sorry fer her." he admitted. I giggled, happy that he'd managed to make her cry, and poked his cheek.
"You're awesome, that's almost as good as me choking her." I reminisced, Shinji gave me a confused look. Huh, I guess I hadn't told him about the time I almost choked the life out of Kazuma.
"Ya choked her, fer what?" he inquired, I grinned evilly.
"Well, she was pissed off about an assignment I gave her." I told him, sounding amused. "She was yappin about how she was of noble blood, and she didn't have to do anything and blah blah blah." Shinji raised an eyebrow, looking like he was enjoying my story. "Then I got all pissed off because she was acting like she was so much more superior than me, I grabbed her by her throat and tried to strangle her. Well..." I stopped at the look he was giving me, giggling quietly to myself. "I didn't so much try to strangle her, just give her a reality check. I don't think it worked all that well so I'm thinking of just…"
I stopped hearing a light knock at my door, looking around Shinji. Who would be here at this hour, the day was officially over with. He nodded to me, moving over to my bookcase, looking over the books for something to "read." I took a slow breath and looked away from Shinji, focusing my gaze on the door.
"Come in." Low and behold, the little whore herself. Satomi looked surprised that Shinji was here, but she avoided looking at him. "Kazuma-san, did you need something?" I asked sweetly.
She narrowed her eyes slightly but forced herself to look civil, she nodded. She walked across the room, avoiding looking at Shinji again and handed me a folder. I blinked, taking the folder from her and flipped it open. I scanned the letter, forcing myself to keep a serious expression. 'A resignation letter…perfect.'
"You're resigning Kazuma-san?" I stated, sounding shocked. She nodded, I almost raised an eyebrow at the sour look on her face. "Nande?" She flipped her hair over her shoulder flamboyantly and said with a snobbish tone
"If you must know, my Otou-san is attempting to find a noble for me to marry. He believes that there's no point for me to be in the Gotei 13 anymore since I'll have a noble husband to support me." I narrowed my eyes at her tone of voice, she needed to be a little more respectful, I was still her taichou until I accepted the resignation.
"Oh really?" I teased, placing the folder on the desk infront of me. "Well, what if I choose not to accept your resignation?" She narrowed her eyes, not even caring that another Taichou was in the room to see how disrespectful she was acting. "Unless you have a medical reason, all resignations are my decision. I can deny it if I wish to do so."
"You hate me though, so why keep me around?" she asked, oh I was ready for that question. I chuckled quietly, pushing my side-bangs out of my eyes.
"Because I enjoy torturing you." I answered honestly, her jaw locked angrily. I raised an eyebrow at her, ignoring the fact that she was glaring at me. "Demo…I suppose you're not as fun anymore. You always have the same reactions, you always get angry, then obey the order." I let out a sigh of disappointment, making a pouty face. "That's no fun at all, it's so boring. I suppose I can find someone else to toy with easily, fine. Here you go." I signed my signature to the letter and handed it over to her. "Get out, and don't come back." Satomi nodded, looking pleased.
"I wouldn't dream of it." She turned on her heel and strut across the office, sliding the door open. She exited the room, shutting the door, but I knew she heard me say
"See ya slut."
I chuckled darkly hearing her grumble but she didn't come back, my day had just become perfect. I felt the smirk on my lips turn into a real smile when I felt Shinji's hands rubbing my shoulders, ok scratch that. Now the day was perfect. I leaned my head back against my seat, smiling up at Shinji. He chuckled quietly, pressing his lips against my forehead.
"Yer awful." I rolled my eyes, playing with a few strands of his hair that were in my face.
"You like it." I stated, he chuckled again. He nodded, brushing his lips against mine.
"Yeah." he agreed. I smiled slightly but moved away from him, I was ready to finish this in my room. He grumbled, not looking pleased with me, and I shoved him a little.
"Come off it." I ordered, not amused with his mental complaining. "Let's just go."
He rolled his eyes, moving his arm around my shoulders, and we walked out of my office together. I blinked at how dark it was, chewing on my lower lip in thought. I wondered if anyone would notice us walking to my room together. Then again, he'd walked me to my room before and people had seen. It wasn't a big deal, they knew we were "friends" so it shouldn't seem all suspicious. Plus, it was pretty damn dark. I was sure no one would see us, especially since no one was really out right now. I poked Shinji's side, nodding towards the hallway. He chuckled, nodding in agreement. We walked down the hallway silently, me eventually getting around to moving his arm off my shoulders, and into my taichou hallway. We walked to my room, making sure no one was following us and silently entered. I smiled when Shinji pressed his lips against mine as soon as the door shut, he wasn't wasting any time. I was so happy to finally get this kiss after waiting all day, I'd been driving myself crazy thinking about it. I moved my lips against his, moaning when his tongue rubbed against mine. I was starting to feel lightheaded, and we hadn't even been kissing that long at all. I pulled out of the kiss and shoved him on the bed. He rolled his eyes, making a face at me when I walked away.
"What're ya doin'?" he complained, I giggled quietly.
"I want you to listen to this music from the world of the living, Youta-kun brought it back for me." I told him, he raised an eyebrow.
"Youta-kun?" he repeated, I nodded.
"He's a great fukutaichou…and he's like the little brother I never had. I didn't tell you he started calling me Nee-san, did I?" I inquired, looking at him over my shoulder. He shook his head, a wide grin plastered on his face.
"Nee-san." he teased, I rolled my eyes. "Damn Kaori, that kid must really love ya." I giggled quietly, flipping him off as I went back to looking through the records.
"He's a good kid, really sweet." I said softly.
I smiled, pulling out the record I'd been looking for. I hopped over to my record player, ignoring the fact that Shinji was laughing at me, and set the record up. I felt my smile widen when Ave Maria by Franz Schubert sang through the room and looked at Shinji over my shoulder, waiting for his approval. He had quite a serious expression on his face, his eyes closed, concentrating on the music. I gracefully glided across the room to his side and laid on the bed next to him, waiting. He finally opened his eyes, meeting my olive green ones and smiled at me.
"It's great Kaori, beautiful." he told me. I smiled, happy that he thought so as well. We both appreciated music, it was just the way we'd both always been. "Next time, yer listenin' to jazz though. You'll like it." I rolled my eyes, nodding a little.
"Alright, bring jazz over next time. You think so much of that music, and I have no clue what it sounds like." I complained, he chucked at my frustration.
"Gomen love." he apologized, kissing my cheek.
I nodded, playing with a few strands of his hair. I was beginning to really want sex right now but talking was just as nice…I guessed. I looked up at him through my lashes, my cheeks going warm at the look he was giving me. I was guessing that he wanted the sex too, he needed to just make a move if he wanted it that badly. Then again, playing dumb could be just as fun, it'd get him all angry and flustered and then the sex would be even more amazing.
"Nani Shin-kun?" I teased, running my finger down his neck. "What's with that look?" He grinned, pushing my body under his, I gave him a 'confused' look. "Uhh…what're you doing?" Shinji rolled his eyes, it was starting.
"Kaori, yer beautiful." I smiled a little, happy that he thought that.
"Arigato doll." I said sweetly, he rolled his eyes towards the ceiling again.
I knew what he wanted me to do, but I wasn't going to ruin my fun. I played with his hair again, occupying my time while he slowly grew frustrated with me. I raised an eyebrow hearing him growl in annoyance, oh it was slowly getting to him.
"Nani Shinji, is something wrong?" I asked innocently, he narrowed his eyes.
"Yer such a tease." he grumbled. I looked at him blankly, tilting my head to the side confused.
"I don't understand." I lied, he chuckled to himself. I looked at him, actually feeling confused with why he wasn't getting all angry at me.
"You will." he promised, I bit down on my lower lip.
Apparently my game had just ended…and I lost.
Author's Note: Hmmm, looks like some pretty crazy stuff is going on with Kaori and Shinji. Does it have to do with Rose and Shinji's conversation? Well DUH! But what did they talk about exactly? Well, guess you'll hafta be patient cuz I'm not spoiling anything. You'll know next chapter so review and you can find out. FIVE REVIEWS=NEW CHAPTER!
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN PREVIEW
I pouted angrily, trying to keep myself from going ballistic and tried to ignore the light footsteps I heard across the roof.
'Shinji, what does he want? He better be here to apologize…or else.' I lowered my eyes, playing with a few strands of my hair and felt him sit down next to me. Apparently he wasn't concerned that I was pissed off with him, he wasn't leaving any space between us. I wrinkled my nose, making a point to ignore him and narrowed my eyes when he placed his arm around my waist.
I turned my head, ready to yell in his face and gasped when his lips collided with mine. That jerk, how could he have the nerve to kiss me after he hurt my feelings like he had? I glared, biting down on his tongue rather hard, and he jerked back from me.
"Nani Kaori-chan, what the hell was the for?" he asked angrily, I glared darkly at him.
"You know what it was for Hirako Shinji so stop playing dumb." I shouted, feeling extremely upset. "You actually have the nerve to act like things are okay when they're fucking not, you started all this, and I expect an apology."
Tori: Aww thank you so much for the compliment. I personally love Mashiro, I think she's hilarious. I hoped I managed to capture her personality correctly, I think I pretty much have. Hehe, I find her to be tons of fun to write. And to answer your question, yes. I have most of the story planned out, there's a few minors things that I haven't gotten around to deciding on but I'm working on it. All sorts of exciting stuff that you'll be gasping in surprise or squealing in happiness. Haha, hope you enjoyed the chapter =]
