Anyways, this chapter is kinda steamy, enjoy!


Halloween!

Kusuo never told me what he did to that rich bastard, but I assume it was traumatizing enough to send him to a therapist based on what I've been hearing in class. He probably won't be back for longer than a week, unlike in the original timeline where he was back in one week.

"Class should be peaceful for a while."

After school, Shun starts rambling constantly and saying that it is that time of year again, greatly confusing our little weird group of friends.

"Time of year…time…October…OH!"

Aren, Nendo, Hairo name off things that happen around this time. Shun looks at me pleadingly.

"Ena you know, right?" he asks.

"Halloween!" I say, grinning.

"That's right!" He beams.

Aren and Hairo have a vague idea of what the holiday is while Nendo, well it's Nendo, he doesn't know most things. Shun invites us to his house to celebrate it on the weekend then leaves. The boys all turn to me.

"What's Halloween?" Aren and Hairo ask.

"In short, Halloween is a western holiday where usually children get in costumes and go around the town door to door asking for candy," I explain, "If the house doesn't have candy, they are entitled to prank the house, hence the phrase trick or treat."

"Are we gonna go ask around for candy?!" Nendo asks excitedly.

"Unfortunately, no," I shake my head, "We do have to wear a costume for the party though," I point out as I put my things away.

Nendo pouts.

"I wonder if they are going to dress up better now that they know."

The day of the party comes and I'm getting ready when Kusuo teleports into my room.

"I don't have a costume."

I look at him through my vanity mirror.

"I figured you wouldn't have one," I get up going to my closet pulling out a lab coat with blood-red handprints and splatter along with a pair of black dress pants and a long-sleeved white buttoned shirt, "Try this on," I hand him the shirt and the pants.

He goes into the attached bathroom in my room. I take the time to get in the princess dress Shun got for me only to find out I can't reach the zipper.

"Damn really?!"

In my struggle, I failed to notice Kusuo coming out of the bathroom until his hands were on mine. I let go of the zipper and allow him to zip up my dress. The dress has a sky blue off-shoulder neckline going to white by the end of the ball gown skirt. The skirt has a thin glittery layer on top. I look at myself in the full body mirror.

"Shun has good taste in costumes," I giggle.

"He does."

I notice Kusuo looking at me through the mirror, and his eyes are filled with desire. A blush threatens to spread across my face. I turn to look at him, about to whine, but I'm rendered speechless when I see him all dressed up. If I wasn't blushing before I sure am now.

"I…It should be illegal how hot you look right now…" I mumble earning a smug smirk from him, "Gah stop it!"

He chuckles wrapping his arms around my waist pulling me closer.

"Ena."

I avoid his hungry gaze; in retaliation, he leans close to my ear as if he were about to whisper something into it. I can feel his warm breath tickle my ear when suddenly he bites it, setting my face ablaze.

"K…Kusuo!" I squeak, squirming.

"Yes?"

He leaves a trail of kisses from my neck to my shoulder.

"C…Control yourself," I try to push him back but those lips against my skin make me weak.

"I can't when I have you all to myself," he whispers into my neck, then softly bites it.

I managed to get him to finish getting dressed not before he decides to leave a hickey. Good thing I could cover it with the choker that came with the dress. He wants to keep our relationship a secret so as not to attract unwanted attention but he's making it hella difficult to keep it that way!

"He's getting bolder by the day; I don't think my heart can take it."

We get to Shun's house and we find Aren and Hairo arriving soon after. Aren is dressed as a butler while Hairo is dressed as a pirate. I knock on the door hear running from the other side.

"Heh, he's so excited."

The door opens to reveal Shun dressed as a vampire just like in the anime except for this time, he isn't disappointed when he sees us all dressed up. Aren and Hairo brought a pumpkin slightly bit confused on the Halloween tradition. An idea pops into my head.

"Shun do you have any extra pumpkins?" I ask Shun who is confused at the question yet nods, "How many?"

He leads me to the kitchen to show me several pumpkins and a grin spreads across my face.

"Let's do a pumpkin carving tournament!" I say excitedly.

His eyes start sparkling and nods rapidly, "Yes!"

While we set up an area for it, Nendo shows up in costume too! He came dressed up as an asylum patient, straight jacket included.

"With that face, he definitely belongs in an asylum."

The tournament started with Shun going against me. It was an unfair match up even when I gave him a slight advantage, he lost as predicted. Then it was Aren versus Hairo. Aren won due Hairo's pumpkin collapsing from him going too fast. Since Kusuo wasn't participating we decided that Nendo would go against whoever won between Aren and Hairo, so he went against Aren. For some reason Nendo won, it didn't make sense, but it happened.

Now I go against Nendo.

"Ramen buddy don't expect me to go easy on you," he says confidently.

"The same goes to you, Nendo," I grin twirling my carving knife and making Shun nervous; from the look on his face, you'd think I was going to kill someone.

"Nendo has luck I'll admit, but will it last?"

"Ena stop playing with the knife!" Shun squeaks.

"Whoops," I giggle stopping.

"Alright," Aren looks at Nendo and me, "Begin!"

We have 10 minutes to carve our pumpkins to the best of our ability. I can hear Shun and Aren cheering for me. Hairo is cheering for both of us.

"This is fun."

In the end, I lost. Yes, I lost to Nendo. I guess he's good with his hands? Regardless, I had fun and got second place, so I don't mind.

"You did good."

Kusuo's praise made it a whole lot better. At the end of the party, he takes me home. He waits for me to open the door.

"Will you need help undressing?"

Such an innocent question sets my body on fire.

"I…I'll be fine," I mumble, almost dropping my house keys.

He chuckles and slowly wraps his arms around my waist pulling me into his chest. I feel his hot breath on my ear.

"Are you sure?" He whispers.

The sound of his voice sends delicious shivers down my spine and he knows it.

"Oh, have mercy."

I clear my throat, which suddenly went dry, and whisper, "I'm sure."

He allows me to turn around and face him. I place my hands on his chest. He kisses my forehead.

"Good night my princess," he whispers, then kisses my lips.

Yep, this was a good day.


Don't be afraid to leave a review I don't bite unless ya are into that ;)

Here are my answers;

Gothgirl4800: Glad that it wasn't a disappointing chapter :)

animemangaobsessed: Yes she could have but due to how bratty the past owner of that body was, her parents now control how much money she spends monthly.

SandwichFool: She could but she doesn't want to go to jail XD Yes I'm doing good sweetie, thank you for checking. I appreciate it :3

ladyofanime1102: Great observation my darling. Her parents are as rich as Saiko, perhaps even more than him. Ena doesn't hold the memories of her body's previous host so she doesn't know how rich her parents actually are, just that they are rich. She also doesn't want to inconvenience them with something that she can essentially deal with herself.

addicted-to-the-fic: Most of us would benefit from someone who can cook for us XD

Qwerion: Someone already saw the books that she reads.

YaoiLovinKitsune: How would you feel if someone destroyed something that you have been working on for months?

DarkRain4Eternity: Ah yes the funky sequel that is not a sequel. I enjoyed the last episode of it. The other 5 were meh, I don't hate them but I don't like them either. I did have a good Christmas thank you.
