DOA Legacy:
Chapter 19-Ready for Bed...
Ryu's hair was still wet, he had just come out of the shower when Hayate had come in. Strands of Ryu's long wet hair hung over his shoulders. "Hayate.". He smiled warmly. "Did you...". "See Kasumi? Yeah I did. Why?". Hayate raised his brow, yet had a curious smile on his face. "No reason. I was simply wondering if you had seen your sister.". Ryu then walked over to his bed and looked through his back pack, a famous soft white bath towel wrapped around his waist.
Hayate just raised his brow and shrugged, "Whatever you say Ryu. I'm going for my shower, when I come back you had better have a better excuse than that. Because I did see Kas, something was different about her. I know it...". Hayate then walked off into the bathroom. Ryu sighed silently. *Kasumi...Why do things have to be so complicated?...*. Ryu then found his silky black boxers and pulled them on, tossing the towel into the basket.
Hayate closed his eyes as the warm water flowed over his body, slowly he ran his hands through his wet shoulder length hair. "Something happened...I know it did....But what?". Hayate finished his shower quickly and pulled on his silky crimson red boxers and walked back into the room. "Alright, I have a few questions for you. You're my best friend and I don't like having to be like this but Kasumi has a crush on you and...". Ryu stopped Hayate in mid sentence.
"I know. Nothing happened.". Ryu closed his eyes for a few seconds only to reopen them. Hayate's expression was a confused yet sympathetic one. "Ok. I trust you Ryu, I trust with my life. But Kasumi, she seemed different. I asked her if she'd seen you, she said a few minutes ago. Her voice and the expression on her face, they were so lost and cold. It was like she didn't care at all and wasn't paying much attention. What happened when you two talked?".
Ryu looked away from Hayate. "I told her that nothing could ever happen between us, I told her that she was your sister and that you were my best friend. I told her that I couldn't betray that trust.". Hayate crossed his arms. "Oh, that explains everything. What did she say?". Ryu looked back at Hayate. "But you can betray your heart? Those were her exact words. Then she disappeared in a swirl of pink petals.".
Hayate nodded. "I'm sorry Ryu, she has a way of making her words hit as hard as bricks. I know first hand. She'll get over it, you'll see.". Ryu nodded. "Yes, but she'll never forgive me. Not that it matters right?". Ryu then sat down on his bed, not bothering to get under the blankets he layed his head on the soft pillow. It was too hot for blankets or sheets.
Hayate then did the same. "Good night Ryu.". "Good night.". Hayate then closed his eyes. "Don't worry, she'll forgive you...". Hayate then rolled onto his back and fell asleep. Ryu smiled in the darkness of the room. He stretched his arms before rolling over onto his back and falling asleep. *I'm sorry Kasumi.*
Meanwhile, in Jann Lee and Zack's room, Zack and Jann Lee were all showered and ready for bed. Jann Lee had a pair of black silk boxers with a golden dragon up each side and Zack had a pair of neon green ones on. "So? You gonna tell me what happened?". Zack asked with a raised brow.
"Shut up!". Jann Lee said as he sat down on his bed. "Something happened, I know it.". Zack said. "Zack?...". Jann Lee said with a questioning tone. "Yea?". Zack replied. "Do you want to go through that window?". "No.". "Then...SHUT UP!". Jann Lee then rolled over onto his side, his back to Zack's bed. "Fine man, I just wanted to know...". Zack then walked over to his bed and soon fell asleep. Before closing his eyes Jann Lee ran the last few events in his mind. The setting sun, the beach, Lei-Fang, and the kiss. Their first kiss, Jann Lee smiled at the thought of it. He then yawned and closed his eyes.
Helena was already asleep in her silky pearl white night gown. She had left the window open and a soft fresh breeze was entering the room as the smell of rain was noticed. It was going to rain that night, Helena was sure of it. She took in the soft smell of rain smiling slightly. She then curled up on her side, facing the window and let herself quickly slip into a peaceful slumber.
Tina had finally gotten out of the shower and had wrapped a soft white bath towel around her. She looked in the mirror and smiled. She then slowly walked barefoot out into the room to find Lei-Fang laying across her bed. "Lei-Fang? What are ya smiling 'bout?". Tina said with a curious grin on her face.
Lei-Fang quickly sat up, "Oh nothing.". She smiled playfully. Tina crossed her arms. "Yeah right! Tell me!?". Tina sat down on the bed beside Lei-Fang. Lei-Fang stood up, "Well...Maybe after my shower!". Lei-Fang then raced off into the bathroom. "You're going to tell me!". Tina shouted after her, but then started looking for her boxers and sports bra.
"Here ya're!". Tina then let the towel slide off her body and onto the floor. She then got dressed putting on her sapphire blue sports bra and sapphire blue silk boxers. Tina then took out a brush and started to comb out her slightly damp hair. "Ah wonder what Lei-Fang is hidin'? Find out soon enough Ah guess...".
Lei-Fang came out of the bathroom and then got into her lemon yellow tank top and silk lemon yellow pyjama pants. She had let her hair hang loose to dry during the night. She then saw Tina smiling. "What?". Tina just smiled more. "Come on, tell me...". Lei-Fang sighed and smiled sweetly. "Oh...Ok...". "Kay come!". Tina said patting the side of her bed. Lei-Fang walked over and sat down on Tina's bed, her back to Tina. "So?...What happened today ta make you so happy?".
Lei-Fang smiled sweetly, remembering what had happened that evening. "Well, Jann Lee and I were talking down on the beach. Right beside the ocean, and the sun was starting to set...". "Mmmhmm.". Tina slowly started to brush Lei-Fang's still damp hair. Lei-Fang then continued. "Then we started to fight, I was winning...But then he tripped me up and I fell down on the sand. It wasn't playing fair, so...". Tina was still brushing Lei-Fang's long silky black hair. "So?...". "So I tripped him up and he fell...He fell right on top of me...". "Ooooo...Now things are gettin' interesting!". A grin spread across Tina's face.
Lei-Fang giggled. "Then he leaned in closer to me...The sun had almost completely set and a soft breeze came across us. He looked into my eyes for the longest time and then...". Tina stopped combing Lei-Fang's hair. Tina slowly put her hand on Lei-Fang's shoulder. "Lei-Fang?". Lei-Fang then turned around, she was now sitting face to face with Tina.
"What happened?". Tina asked with a questioning smile. Lei-Fang closed her eyes and then smiled instantly. "He kissed me!". "He kissed ya!?". Lei-Fang nodded. "He kissed me!". "Wow!". Tina exclaimed. "Yeah I know!". Tina and Lei-Fang then hugged and loud giggling was heard coming from their room. Soon everything was silent again.
Lei-Fang got off Tina's bed and jumped on top of her own. Tina layed her head down on the pillow and turned on her side, facing Lei-Fang. Lei-Fang also turned on her side and looked over at Tina. Both girls smiled and then slowly let their eyes close. "Nite Tina...". "G'night Lei-Fang...".
Meanwhile, Ayane and Kasumi were still up. Kasumi was all ready for bed, yet she was too troubled to sleep. She was wearing a milky pink tank top and silk milky pink pyjama pants. Her hair was loose and a few strands fell to her face. Kasumi was looking out the window at the bright moon up in the midnight blue sky.
Ayane slowly walked out of the bathroom wearing a dark purple tank top and silk dark purple pyjama pants. Ayane's reddish eyes shifted their gaze to Kasumi, "What's wrong with you?". She asked coldly. Kasumi didn't turn around, "Nothing...". Nothing? That was as far from the truth as she could get. Nothing...
