Ahah, leave it to me to update when by all means I should be studying for my mid-terms. Nyeh. I'll get around to it.
Kimber's POV today guys, be afraid. ^.^
It was quiet. Too quiet.
Kimber frowned curiously from her spot at the table. Taking a slow sip of hot chocolate, she pondered the reasons for it to be so quiet.
The best way to figure out, Kimber decided quickly, was too go see for herself.
She placed her hot chocolate gently on the table and stood up. Upon entering the living room, she spotted Kurogane sitting on one of the two loveseats, Sabrina standing behind it, arms resting on the back. They were both staring at something on the other couch. But what?
Kimber crept out, trying to be stealthy. She suddenly realized that it was Fai they were staring at. Fai, dozing lightly on the other loveseat.
Sabrina tilted her head slightly, saw Kimber, and gestured her over with a flick flick of her hand.
Kimber nodded, realizing that if Sabrina was quiet she was either planning something, or had a good reason for doing so. Either way, Kimber was as silent as possible as she stood next to her friend.
Then she too, began to stare at the blond.
Fai looked like a child when he was sleeping Kimber realized.
"So cute" Sabrina commented softly. Kimber nodded in agreement. He looked peaceful too.
"I'm not staring!" Kurogane snapped defensively, pointedly shifting his gaze from Fai to his feet. His face was red.
Kimber smirked slyly, "Sabrina never said you were, Great Master. May I suggest you at least listen to what others say before you reply?"
"Yes, that would be a wise idea, Kimber" Sabrina agreed sagely, "Because, Great Master dearie, it seems you just implied you were indeed staring at Fai." Kimber's lips twisted into a small smile as Kurogane's face reddened.
"SHUT UP!" Kurogane barked.
Kimber snickered. Oh so easily angered.
"So, how was the movie last night Kuro-sama?" Sabrina inquired suddenly, a mischievous grin playing on her lips.
Kimber knew from the look on her face she was beginning a long list of quips to throw out, no matter what Kurogane said. Kimber was doing the same.
"It was terrible! I had to sit by this idiot the whole time" Kurogane made a vague hand gesture towards Fai.
"Really?" Kimber asked, feigning surprise, as she leaned forward to rest her chin on her hands. "I saw the ticket sales for the movie you guys went to see" She failed to mention she had actually gotten this information from a high-up information source, "Almost no one went."
Sabrina stroked her chin thoughtfully, "Am I correct to assume then, that they were very little people in the theater besides the Great Master and Fai?"
Kimber nodded, ignoring the glare from Kurogane. "You are correct."
"What the hell is your point?" Kurogane snapped, clearly irate with the large build-up to their 'point'. If there was one.
Kimber turned to Sabrina. Sabrina cast a side-long glance back. They nodded in sync before both facing Kurogane.
"It would seem, Great Master, that you weren't forced to sit by Fai, but did so of your own accord" Kimber and Sabrina said in unison.
Kimber was the first to see the murderous lust for blood in Kurogane's eyes. She also noticed the blush spreading across his cheeks.
However, the murderous glare was more threatening than the blush, and Kimber was quick to get back to the safety of the kitchen. Sabrina was quick to follow.
When Kimber made a move to sit down, Sabrina grabbed her sleeve and pulled her back towards the doorway. Kimber frowned. What did Sabrina want? Carefully, her friend mouthed "They're alone". Then smirked slyly.
With their heads sticking out from the doorway, they watched as Kurogane stood up slowly, grumbling under his breathe.
He continued to move slowly, walking to the main couch, grabbing the blanket draped over the back and tentatively approaching Fai.
Kimber and Sabrina had to lean out further to continue watching as Kurogane pulled the blankets over the blond before he paused to brush a stray golden lock away from Fai's closed eyes.
That was when he turned towards the kitchen.
Stifling a loud curse, Kimber and Sabrina made a dive for two chairs, attempting to look casual. Kimber was slouched uncomfortably into her chair, one arm draped over the backrest, the other draped on her lap. She figured they must look rather cheesy, for Sabrina just missed the chair and had landed on the floor with a thud.
Kurogane cast the two of them a confused glare as he strolled past. With a shake of his head, he continued on.
Kimber and Sabrina eyes' trailed him as he rummaged through the fridge.
Kimber wondered how long it was going to take him to become unnerved from the mildly eerie silence. Hell, Kimber was almost willing to break the silence. It was too not normal. Besides, she hated silences.
Kimber cleared her throat. There, the silence was broken for at least a moment.
Finally, Kurogane straightened. "What the hell are you two staring at?"
Sabrina let out a snicker that reminded Kimber of when a six-year-old tries to keep a secret.
"You, of course" Kimber informed Kurogane, all sweetness.
Kurogane glowered. Kimber grinned brightly.
"Kuro-puppy, if you continue to glare at everyone you meet you're going to get wrinkles" Sabrina scolded.
Kimber had to stifle a laugh at the thought of the Great Master having wrinkles. It sounded absurd.
"Tch" Kurogane grunted uncaringly.
"Do you not care about early wrinkles?" Kimber wailed, feigning panic.
"Do you not care if women find you attractive?" Sabrina threw in.
Kurogane's brow creased as he glared at the two girls.
Kimber turned to Sabrina, a sly smile on her lips.
"Well….he wouldn't need women to find him attractive" Kimber began, hoping Sabrina could catch on and form a coherent sentence of her own.
Thankfully, she did.
"If" Sabrina grinned from ear to ear, "He wanted Fai."
Kimber's gaze flicked towards Kurogane, who was blushing yet again and looked ready to boil over at any given moment.
T-minus, three, two, one, Kimber thought wryly.
"WHY THE HELL WOULD I WANT THAT GIRLY ASSHOLE!" Kurogane barked.
Blastoff.
"You're blushing" Sabrina pointed out in a bored tone.
And indeed he was, and at Sabrina's comment, his face seemed to heat up even more.
"SHUT UP!" Kurogane roared.
"Meep" Sabrina giggled.
Kurogane's breath came out short and ragged as his jaw visibly clenched.
Kimber stood up, offering Sabrina a hand and hauling her friend up. "May I suggest we take leave and go visit Sakura and Syaoran?"
"That sounds lovely" Sabrina agreed.
Kimber was quick to trudge off; pondering what exactly had gone on at that movie.
"I think we need to place camera's in the Great Master's room" Kimber announced as soon as they were safely out of Kurogane's hearing range.
"What?" Sabrina squeaked, "He'd kill us!"
Kimber cast a glance at her friend, "And out of all the crazy shit we've done to him so far, has he killed us yet?"
Sabrina shook her head, acknowledging Kimber's point. Kimber smirked, she liked being right.
"But Kimber" Sabrina continued to protest, "Aside from the fact I'm not suicidal.."
"Why not?" Kimber moaned, cutting Sabrina short.
Sabrina silenced Kimber with an oddly serious glare.
"It's also an invasion of privacy."
Kimber raised an eyebrow. The last time she had checked, Sabrina lacked any sort of morals to speak of. This was strange thing to hear from her.
"Since when do you have morals?" Kimber demanded. It had to be asked.
Sabrina shrugged nonchalantly. "I dunno…maybe someone managed to use a phoenix down on my conscience."
Kimber chuckled at Sabrina's response before continuing on to Sakura's room.
Kimber had just raised her fist to knock when Sabrina maneuvered her arm under Kimber's arm, and swung the door open.
"Isn't that a little rude?" Kimber pointed out dully.
Sabrina shrugged nonchalantly, like manners was merely something trivial. "This from the girl whom I woke up to find dozing on my couch oh, how many times over the years?"
Kimber frowned. Was she really bringing that up? "I had a good reason" Kimber grumbled, trying to sound as if it wasn't bothering her.
Sabrina sobered up for a moment, "Yes, you did" She agreed softly. Her smile returned at a frightening speed. "None the less! The door's been opened, let's go!"
Syaoran, for once, was not at his fiancé's side, he wasn't even in the room. Sakura, sitting cross legged on her bed, appeared to be deeply engrossed in a rather thick book, and Chii was sprawled out on the floor, absently gazing over a glossy textbook page.
"Hello!" Kimber exclaimed loudly, announcing her entrance with a bold hand flourish.
Sakura let out a startled squeak and slammed the book shut. "H-hello" She seemed startled. Chii, on the other hand, hadn't appeared to notice. This, was undoubtedly due to the headphones in her ears.
Sabrina walked past Kimber into the room and threw herself onto the bed next to Sakura.
"What'cha readin'?" Sabrina asked curiously.
"Err…uh…" Sakura stammered, her face heating up.
Sabrina smiled teasingly, "A yaoi manga?"
"No!" Sakura said, her blush deepening.
For a university student she was awfully innocent.
"A romance novel?" Kimber guessed.
"Yes" Sakura admitted.
Kimber shot a smirk in Sabrina's direction. Kimber: 1, Sabrina:0. Sabrina, noticing Kimber's boastful smirk, glared.
"I don't normally read this sort of thing!" Sakura elaborated hurriedly, "It's just…..I have no idea what to put into my vows." Sakura hung her head.
Kimber, finally deciding it was time to close the door and sit down, promptly did so, taking a seat on the floor.
"I could lend a hand" Kimber suggested, trying to sound offhand about her offer. She had always wanted to be a wedding planner. It seemed stressful, and Kimber was one of those crazy kids that thrived off of stress.
"Would you?" Sakura's head shot up, but she soon lowered it again, "I'm sorry, but it just wouldn't be right if I didn't write them myself."
Kimber frowned slowly. She understood that logic, but she still wanted to help with something.
"Sakura" Kimber began, "Do you have a wedding planner?"
The brunette seemed confused by the sudden question. "No" Sakura replied after a moment.
Kimber stood up briskly. "Then I shall be you're wedding planner!"
"What?" Sakura exclaimed. "You don't need to trouble yourself."
"Pish-posh, no trouble at all" Kimber shrugged nonchalantly. She could juggle classwork and planning a wedding.
"But your school work!" Sakura protested.
"Sakura, just leave it" Sabrina commanded lazily, "If you don't say yes, Kimber's just going to brood all week and get nothing done."
"I would not!" Kimber snapped. No, she most definitely would do something! She wouldn't just brood, she'd multitask. She could do things while brooding.
"Yes, you would" Sabrina repeated firmly. Kimber couldn't argue with Sabrina's tone. It was too final.
Sakura frowned slowly, emerald eyes thoughtful.
Kimber waited in silence, hoping Sakura would hurry to make up her mind. Kimber really hated silences. No one else seemed to care. Chii was still drowning out everything with her headphones, and Sabrina seemed to be content with staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Eh, sure! Thanks!" Sakura smiled brightly.
Kimber cackled with glee. Wedding planner. Oh yes, this would be fun.
Not that she wouldn't take it seriously, no no, this was very important business. But that didn't mean Kimber couldn't have a little fun with it…
"I'm going to leave…" Sabrina muttered absently, standing up and leaving the room. Kimber scowled at her back. She was going to miss out on all the fun. Which, on second thought, was probably her intent.
"Fine, be a party pooper" Kimber grumbled. But she flashed Sakura a disarming smile, and launched herself onto the bed.
"Well now" Kimber commented, "No time to waste, let's get started!"
Originally Kimber was going to help with the vows, but I space out for a second and she's in charge of the whole wedding. DAMN YOU PHANTOM KEYBOARD!
Never the less, this should prove to be interesting.
Today, I actually made like four anime references in my english exam. Three were about Tsubasa, one was Yuki Eiri from Gravitation. Haahh...I'm such an otaku.
Furhter proof is that fact I almost ran out before the exam was over due to a cliffhanger in Loveless.
