Chapter 26- Basil
第26章 - バジル
"So I heard that you had a little spider incident," Oshitari, the speed star of Naniwa flashed a mischievously grin at me as I entered the lounge room.
Kura-chan, who sat adjacent to him, smiled as I trotted across the room, "Our sweet Kagami is a little scared of eight legged bugs," he announces, reaching for my arm and pulling me closer to him
Letting myself being pulled down into Kura-chan's lap, I sighed, "Spider's are scary creatures." I muttered
Oshitari cracked up into laughter, "Never knew you had a phobia of spiders," he twinkled
I blushed, "S-shut up!" I exclaimed, pouting and glancing away
Joining on with a chuckle, Kura-chan rested his head against my shoulder and eyed me playfully, "But if I turn into a spider, will you still love me?" he asks
Surprised by his question, I blinked, "W-well..." I began, feeling an image of Kura-chan been a spider pop up in my mind, "I can't really see you as a spider Kura." I replied
A snicker was heard from the speed star, "A Shiraishi spider?" his grin widens, "Won't that be a fascinating creature?"
I felt my lips curl up, "It'll be one of a kind," I added on, "Quite special and hard to find in this world."
Hearing this, Kura-chan's string of chuckles loudened, "But you found one," He whispered, "Aren't you lucky?"
I nodded, "I am." I nonchalantly agreed, "Luck is really on my side these days."
"I am su-"
"Though Kagami," Oshitari suddenly interrupted us through, earning a growl from his captain, "If you have a fear of bugs, does that mean your also scared of Shiraishi's pet beetle?" he questions with curiosity
Giving a shake to my head, I sent my ebony locks of hair swaying from side to side, nearly hitting poor Kura-chan in the face, "Nah, Kaburiel is cute. Whiles spiders are just freaky…." I grumbled
The speed star turned his grin into a smirk, "Well, does it disturb you then I keep an Iguana as a pet?" he declared
I giggled, "No, reptiles are adorable," I uttered with a dimple, "Though I can't see you managing an Iguana around."
"Hey!" Oshitari protests, "I love my Iguana very much."
Kura-chan, who was nuzzling me in the neck, quietly snickered at Oshitari's comment, "Yes, Speedy-chan, your one love in the world." He stated
Raising his brows, Naniwa's speed star gave us a haughty look, "I am proud to be in love with my speedy-chan." He remarks
Literally laughing now, I grinned at Oshitari, "It's ok. We completely understand." I teased
Oshitari scoffed, "You guys are so mean…."
~40 minutes later~
"So, that phrase links back to question one?"
I nodded to the young Miyuki who sat on the dining table, fussing over her French homework whiles Yukari observed in a silent manner.
"I don't know what I'll do if you weren't here today Kagami-chan!" sighed Miyuki as she penned down the answer in her textbook
Smiling, I glanced down at Miyuki, "It's nothing," I pronounced.
"No really Kagami-chan," the girl's eyes sparked with life, "Thank you!"
I chuckled and sighed, "You're more than welcome Mi-chan." I kindly responded
From the side, Yukari cocked her head to the side, "You're all so talented. Kagami-chan knows French and Miyuki-chan is taking classes," she breathes, "I wish I was like you two."
Miyuki grinned, "But you're really good at Science, Yuki-chan!" chirped the girl, "I can't hardly keep up with you when it comes to Chemistry."
Yukari pouted, "Blame the Shiraishi bloodstream for that," she mutters, "Chemistry flows through our family."
My lips pulled up again into a smile, "That's a good thing," I encouraged, "I mean your brother-"
"Is a Chemistry freak? Yes."
I curved my lips up higher, "Well I was going to say quite intelligent and thoughtful when it comes to that specific type of science." I retorted
Yuki-chan snorted whiles Miyuki finished off her last few French questions, "It's Nii-san. What do you expect?"
Laughing, I trotted back out the dining room door and back down the hallway, leaving the two girls in some peace to study. Turning my figure into the lounge room, my eyes twinkled under the blazing eclectic white lights.
"Hey Hanamaru," Oshitari winked at me from a couch as he twirled a vermillion cellphone around his fingers, "You have some pretty cool pictures in here!"
Blinking for a short second, I suddenly gaped and stared with horror. Why on earth was my phone sitting in the hands of the stupid Naniwa's speed star?
"My phone!" I cried out and rushed over to Oshitari, "Why do you have it?"
Yuuji, who sat opposing the speed star, twisted his lips into a grin, "It fell from your pocket when you went to help Miyuki." He explained, "So we took care of it."
My mouth hung open even more. Quickly flipping the cover open, I clicked through my photo album, wondering if they stuffed anything major up. And well, must I say, my album increased with selfie's of Oshitari and some with Kura-chan and Yuuji. Though Zaizen was also visible in a few.
"You guys are such selfie freaks," I scolded, "How did you manage get into my phone anyways? I had a lock code on."
The speed star gave me a roll of his eyes, "Please, who doesn't know your code?" he remarks
Glancing at the four sitting in front of me, I glared, "It's not that obvious is it?" I mumbled
Kura-chan chuckled, "Yes it is pretty obvious," he replied.
I groaned and trotted away, "It's not that bad…." I muttered to myself as I approached the grand piano before sitting down on the bench. Scanning through the photos again, I couldn't help but softly giggle at some of the ridiculous faces they pulled.
"You guys took heaps," I complained, skipping through the pictures
Yuuji laughed, "Just to keep as a good memory of your handsome looking brothers." He insisted
Smirking I pressed into a specific photo. One with Oshitari winking, Kura-chan next to him with a admirable grin, Yuuji in the corner with his tongue stuck out and lastly, Zaizen looking pissed off in the background. What a masterpiece
"This one is cute," I declared, snickering as I clicked into the 'settings' button, "I'll use it as my wallpaper."
"Replacing the picture of me half naked are you?" Kura-chan called out from behind
Immediately, I flushed a deep red and looked away, "I-I had no other picture apart from that one…" I grumbled
"Oh sure…." Oshitari joined in, "You have a whole collection of 'Sexy Shiraishi' pictures in your phone," he mocked, "We've checked."
The red on my cheeks deepened, "B-blame Yukari for sending me the photos…." I uttered, biting onto my bottom lip
More low laughter was heard, "But you still saved them…."
"S-shut up! You guys always tease me!"
~2 hours later~
My eyes dug themselves into letters that scattered across the page. It was nearly there. They're just about to kiss.
"What book are you reading there sweet?" Kura-chan's voice travelled across the room as he strolled in after his shower
Me, who was already nested in bed, ignored him and continued on to read.
A small frown creased Kura-chan's face as he hopped into bed. Curling his right arm around my waist before resting his head into my shoulder, nibbling me on the neck and kissing my chin.
"Sweet pea?"
"They're going to kiss…They're going-" I urged, carefully flipping the page for my prying eyes
My brows furrowed together as my eyes darted like shooting stars, "No! Why the hell are they still talking!", I cried out in disappointment as more dialogue went down the pages
Letting out a growl, Kura-chan pulled the novel out of my hands with his free left arm and threw it across the room, "Enough of that," protested
I sighed and eyed the book which splatted against the carpet ground, "Kura-"
Feeling my shoulders being pushed back into the bed, I glanced up at Kura-chan who smirked enduringly at me, "You belong to me," he protectively kissed me on the lips.
Closing my eyes, I kissed back. Knowing Kura-chan possessive act against me and other guys. Even if they're fictional.
"You can be overprotective sometimes." I murmured to Kura-chan as he parted his lips
Stunning hazels gazed down on me like stars, "It's because I love you too much to ever let you go." He responds, vampire kissing down my neck and planting small delicate butterfly kisses on my collarbones.
I squirmed at the sensitivity, but nevertheless still smiled, "Such a sweet talker Kuranosuke." I uttered
"Only for you…my beautiful girl."
~Next Morning~
"Kya! We ran out of herbs!" a cry was heard from the kitchen as I strolled down the hallway and turned into the morning lit kitchen.
Both girls were fussing around the pantries and shelves, trying to find herbs or something important for breakfast.
"What's wrong?" I muttered, giving a rub to my eyes
Yukari flashed me a worried look while Miyuki continued scuffing around, "We ran out of herbs," she plastered a frown, "And breakfast won't be complete without Basil."
"I-"
"What's happening? Why's breakfast not complete?" Another voice unexpectedly popped up next to me. I sweat dropped, Oshitari Kenya was bloody hell, fast.
Glancing at the speed star, Yuki-chan replied, "We ran out of herbs for breakfast," she announced, "And I we can't finish the meal with them!"
I shrugged, "I could always pop down to the supermarket. I mean it's only ten minutes away," I suggested, "It won't take long."
Eyes lit up like dazzling stars, "Really Kagami-chan?"
I nodded, "Sure." I agreed, "I could really do some morning walk anyways."
Beside me, Oshitari gave a chuckle, "I'll go with you." He insisted, "Considering this could be my morning walk and to be your private bodyguard."
Turning and giving the speed freak a knowing look, I raised my brows, "I appreciate it." I muttered
Sparkling a smile in gratitude, Yuki-chan gazed at the two of us with her hazel orbs that were only a semi color deeper than Kura-chan's, "Do guys know what Basil looks like?" she asks, "The scent is usually different from the other herbs."
Oshitari grinned, "It's alright Yuki-chan," he flickered a wink at me, "We have our Shitenhoji hunting dog." The grin widens, "Bark once for us."
Clenching onto my teeth, I growled and snarled as I trotted past the speed star.
"Wow, calm down there puppy dog…"
~15 minutes later~
"Honestly, going shopping with you is harder than I've expected," I complained as we entered the supermarket
Oshitari snickered, "We, Oshitari's are special by blood," he declares, "So you should really enjoy the time we spend with you."
I rolled my eyes, "Oh please…." I grumbled, "Spending time with you is like living hell…"
"You don't mean that~" The speed star pouted, "You know you love your brother in law."
Smirking, I dragged Oshitari by his arm and pulled him through the supermarket, "If my brother in law isn't is as annoying as he is now, than yes!"
~10 minutes later~
"So Basil has that horrible scent?" Naniwa's speed freak mumbled out as he stared at the bunch of basil travelling along the conveyor belt.
I nodded, "Yep."
A sigh was heard, "It smells terrible."
Chuckling, I raised my brows, "Get over it Kenya," I retorted, "You eat it everyday."
A few more complaints and grumbles were heard from the speed star before we arrived at the final stage of shopping.
"Ara, what a charming young couple." The cashier beamed a twinkling smile at us
Blinking, I exchanged glances with Oshitari before replying, "Actually, his my brother in law." I humbly retorted
"Oh dear really?" the cashier stared with awe, "How young!"
The speed and I both sweat dropped. People these days….
~20 minutes later~
"Kagami! There you are!"
Kura-chan literally dashed towards me and pulled me into a hug, "I didn't get to admirer your sleep this morning!" he exclaims
I grinned as Oshitari snorted and glided his way into the house, leaving me alone with the Bible, "I got up early and went for a walk," I explained, "I thought Yuki-chan told you?"
"She did," Kura-chan insisted, nudging me in the neck, "But I missed my morning sniff of my beautiful girl."
Managing a small giggle, I rested my head against his chest and enjoyed the way his heart beat, "Well, you can fully sniff me now…"
~30 minutes later~
"Yeah! Tennis again!" Kin-chan cheered and punched the air as he jumped outside with joy
I laughed. Kura-chan finally declared tennis training after being postponed for nearly four days. It was really time to get back to work before we leave at the end of this week.
"He's sure excited," Chitose remarked from the doorway
Nodding my head, I agreed, "Isn't he always like this when it comes to tennis?" I muttered
"You could say," Chitose winked before hopping outside, "See you then."
I smiled, "Yeah, see you later."
Twirling around to finally see Kura-chan off, I suddenly felt an unexpected buzz from my jumper pocket. Digging into my warm pockets, I fished out my ruby colored cell phone.
Message- Anonymous
I frowned. It was one of those unknown messages again. Taking in a restless breath, I flipped my phone open and pressed into the message.
I hope you have made your decision. I'll meet you in the Freesia field in twenty minutes sharp. If you don't come, you better watch out.
Cringing, I swiftly pushed the lid back shut and nervously bit down onto my lip. I nearly forgot. My time of three days was up.
"Who was that message from?" A voice appeared from behind me as a pair of arms was snaked around my waist
My body shivered at the sudden pair of arms. Sheepishly, I lied, "It was just my brother," I stated, "He wanted to practice French on me again."
Kura-chan chuckled, "Well then," he murmured into my ear, "I miss you for the day."
Feeling my lips curl up, I turned around and nodded, "I will." I sighed back
Brushing his lips against my cheek, Kura-chan whispered into my ear, "Be careful if you want to go outside," he warned
I grinned and glanced up, "I'll strap a knife to my thigh," I uttered, "Just to keep myself safe."
Kura-chan smirked at me, "Now that'd be sexy." He teased, "I'll die to see you pull out that knife."
"You pervert…"
~20 minutes later~
The sun was shining. Jade green leaves floated against the wind. Most of the snow from the forest cleared up, earning a bright and sunny atmosphere with absolute fresh air. Yet, I wasn't enjoying it.
My mind was filled with worries. Even though I told Kura-chan about Fujitaka and everyone else understood this consequence, I still couldn't bring myself to fully tell the truth. So, basically…I was in some sort of dilemma.
After a short walk, I finally arrived at the planned destination. Though it was quiet, not a sound was heard. And there I stood, emotionless in the middle of a meadow covered with bright yellow Freesias.
"So you did get my message," a well-known deep voice suddenly appeared from the tree-covered shadows.
I sighed and looked up. Facing my fear.
"Yes I did," I remarked in a loud voice
The shadow emerged into it's figure, "How brave." It declares
Fujitaka stood proudly amongst the field of yellow. His 'minions' only a few steps behind him.
"Have you made your decision?"
Hearing that very question, I turned my head away.
"I-"
"Her decision is to stay with me."
A wave of shock zapped through my body. Shooting my head up and forcing my eyes in the direction the voice came from, my vision widened after seeing Kura-chan trotting through the meadow from the side. A smirk was placed on his lips.
Fujitaka and his team also faced the newly appeared figure, "Oh, looks like we have a guest….."
Blinking with surprise and horror, I stared as Kura-chan approached me and defensively pulled me into his arms.
"Hanamaru Kagami belongs to me, and only me."
