Ch. 21
Okou's p.o.v.
After the group had split up with their respective counterpart, Midori and I slowly wandered around the festival wondering on what we're gonna do. Since this year is the Full Moon Festival, there were a lot of couples here in the festival but there were some people who came here with family, friends, and some children are here as well with their families or by themselves.
I looked over and saw a couple being all lovey-dovey and stuff near the sakura trees. That is so gross! Can't they be lovey-dovey somewhere else where I wouldn't have to throw up and lose my lunch!?
I heard a small chuckle from beside me and I turned my head to find Midori laughing at me. I gave him a small glare and he laughed even more.
"Whats so funny!?"
"You're gagging at those couple who were kissing. You really hate girly stuff huh?" Midori chuckled.
"And whats wrong with that!?" I glared at him. "You know I'm not a girly person and I would never wear anything girly except if I really have to wear one on events like these"
"You're an interesting girl, you know"
"Whatever"
We continued walking around and as we did that, I saw something that caught my eye. There were two huge sumo wrestlers facing each other on the ring thats outside the festival and a small crowd was forming to witness the event. Midori saw me staring at the event and we both decided to walk over to see whats happening.
When we got there, a sumo wrestler in white is facing a sumo wrestler in black. They both lifted their legs from side walking around each other to see who's gonna make the first move. Then, they both ran towards each other and began wrestling but in the end, the sumo wrestler in black was the winner while the sumo wrestler in white sulked that he was defeated.
"I nearly forgot that your father is also a sumo wrestler" Midori replied.
"Then you need to get out more often to learn more about the world" I remarked.
"Only if I'm with my beautiful buttercup"
"Urusai!"
"Now don't be shy~"
"You're weird just like the Amēba Boys"
"Now don't compare me to those things. They don't even know how to become proper criminals"
"Whatever you say"
He frowned and then grabbed my hand to drag me away from the festival and to the park where he took me to a huge tree thats secluded where no one could see us. He then pressed his body against mine where my back is pressed against the tree and he grabbed my chin so I could look at him.
"You're a very stubborn girl Okou-chan. You're feisty like a panther" Midori purred.
"Thats because I'm not afraid of anything now get off of me!" I tried pushing him off of me but to no avail since he's stronger than me.
"Really? I thought you were afraid of obakes (ghosts)?" he smirked.
I nearly paled at what he said. How did he know that I'm afraid of obakes? Please tell me that he wasn't stalking me or following me home when I'm not looking? My fear was supposed to stay a secret so no one would know that I'm scared of them.
"I have no idea what you're talking about" I replied in an almost brave tone.
"Now don't lie to me Okou-chan. I know that you're afraid of obakes and if you want to know how I knew your fear, lets just say that your brothers aren't that good in keeping secrets"
"WHAT!?" I yelled in shock. "THEY TOLD YOU!?" When I'm out of his grip, I'm gonna kill Daisuke and Shoji!
"Actually I kinda overheard them say that but I didn't know it was true until your face turned pale"
"I am going to kill you once I get out of your grip and then kill my brothers for opening their big mouths" I growled as I tried to punch his chest.
"Now lets calm down Okou-chan. Before you could kill me, lets go back to the festival and see if they have any sata andagi? I heard that its pretty good"
I stopped growling and thought about it and realized that he's right. Sata andagi does sound pretty good and I haven't had some in quite awhile. I guess I can eat those and then I can kill Midori and my brothers.
"Okay fine but after that, you and my brothers are dead" I replied.
"Deal" he said.
He let me go and took me back into the festival where we found some sata andagi and bought some. This stuff sure smells good and is tasty as well. I wonder how the others are doing with their counterparts?
Mitsu's p.o.v.
As Kurai and I were walking around at the festival, I thought about how the others are doing. I can tell that Chiyoko, Ade, and Okou are threatening their counterparts to never do anything perverted to them or they'll die while the rest are probably enjoying the festival with their counterparts. Its the first time that the girls and I came to a Full Moon festival here in Edo. We would usually go to a regular festival at our village but whenever there's a full moon, they call that the day of love for couples to be with their true soulmates forever. I don't believe in that stuff since its impossible to find a soulmate because of our own personalities and appearance.
"You sure are quiet today" Kurai said, breaking out of my thoughts.
"I was just hoping that your boys won't do anything bad to my friends" I replied.
"They won't since they don't want to be killed by you" he said.
"That is true since all males fear me"
"But not me. I've seen scarier"
"Oh really?"
"Yes really"
"You're either brave or nuts"
"A little of both but mostly the brave part"
"I see"
While we were walking around, I noticed that a bunch of males shivered in fright when they saw me and tried to stay as far away as possible from me thinking that if they come too close, they might get hurt by me. Some of the females were gossiping to each other when they saw me and they would sometimes give me smiles as a way for thanking me by teaching them how to defend themselves against a pervert.
"Looks like you're pretty popular with the females" Kurai said.
"And you're popular with the males since they wonder how you're not afraid of me" I smirked.
"That is a secret that would remain hidden for a long time" he smirked back.
"You're definitely a mysterious boy"
"And you're a mysterious girl who's heart shines like light"
I nearly blushed at what he said but I tried to get rid of it so he wouldn't see me turn red. Since when did he give compliments and why can he easily make my face red?
"Hey Kurai?"
"What is it?"
"Why do you and the boys asked me and the girls to go to the festival with you?"
He stopped walking and turned to look at me. His face looked like he was arguing with himself but he sighed and lead me out of the crowd so we could talk in private.
"Its simple really. The boys and I are in love with you girls. Thats the reason we asked you to go to the festival with us" he answered in a serious tone.
"L-Love us?" I nearly stuttered. "But why us?"
"You girls are the only ones who understood us more than anyone else. We bear the same emotions and we want to be with the people who like us for who we really are" he looked at my eyes. "How do you feel about me, Mitsu-chan?"
I could feel my face heating up and so many thoughts ran through my mind. A boy had confessed to me and its not just any boy, its Kurai from the Dark Edo Boys. I've never had fallen in love with a boy before but whenever I'm with him, this warm feeling engulfs my chest.
"To be honest, I kinda had a slight crush on you when you first kissed me while we were enemies" I answered. "I think I love you too because I always feel warm whenever I'm with you"
His eyes nearly widened but then a small smile formed on his face. He then leaned down and planted a kiss on my cheek. "I'm glad you feel the same way"
We both walked around at the festival hand-in-hand with happy looks on our faces. I wonder if the girls are feeling happy with their counterparts like I am?
Eve's turn!
