A moaning Tauski turned in his sleep. A name fell from his lips as he blinked at Leah, "Hotaru..." Barely whispered but Leah caught it. For some reason she felt a bit jealous at whomever this Hotaru was. But she shook off the feeling as soon as it came. Tauski rubbed his eyes and yawned. He looked over at Leah, "What time is it?" He still looked half asleep.
Leah twisted her body so she could peer at the clock and groaned. "It's 5am." She fell back on the bed and curled up to the warmth. Tauski looked down at her, curled against his side, and smiled.
When Leah was finally hungry enough to leave the warmth of her bed, she noticed her position and blushed. Tauski simply yawned and turned into the spot she just vacated. 'Oh well, Let him sleep for now.' She thought. In fact he didn't wake up until the smell of homemade waffles drifted into her room. He sleepily got up and walked, zombi-like, to where the smell was coming from. He bumped into a few paintings on the wall on his way but managed to sit on a stool and demand breakfast.
"Well? Where's my food?" Leah looked at him with a raised eyebrow and laughed. He frowned, "What?!"
"If you think your getting anything with that demanding tone, you better think again. I'm not your slave!" She snorted and went back to pouring syrup on her waffle.
"Awe! Come on! I'm hungry!" He whined at her holding his fork and knife in his hands.
"Oh! I'm sorry. I forgot to care." She retorted sarcastically.
With big, round, innocent eyes, Tauski asked again dragging the word out, "Please?"
When Leah looked up and saw him, she laughed. "Alright! Alright! It's still in the waffle maker." She pointed to the waffle iron with her fork and began eating again. Tauski launched himself at the waffle iron, grabbed his food, and got it down in two bites just as Leah offered him the syrup. He smiled in satisfaction and belched rather loudly.
After a few arguments about his manners, Leah heard the doorbell ring. She checked the clock only to find it was still noon. "Sarah isn't suppose to be here until one!" She shoved Tauski in her room and dashed down the stairs as she saw her friend walk in and throw off her coat.
"I swear it's a monsoon out there!" She exclaimed as she removed her shoes and sat them on the mat. Sure enough, when Leah glance outside she noticed the water from the lake rising steadily. She'd have to do something about that if she didn't want to have to row a boat to get to the stores. "So how are you?" Sarah smiled at her as she wrung her hair out.
Leah found her quite amusing. She was drenched from head to toe! Her jeans were sloshing and her white shirt clung to her like second skin. A small puddle was starting to form around her as well. "Uh.would you like a towel?" They both giggled and Leah went upstairs to get her something. She came back down with a towel and a bathrobe, as well as another towel to clean up her puddle. "I thought you weren't suppose to come until 1? It's only 12." Leah asked
"12?" Sarah looked confused and paused from towel drying her hair. She had changed into the fluffy red robe Leah brought for her as well. "My clocks must be wrong then. I could have sworn it was one!" She shrugged and flipped her hair back up, finally satisfied with it. They walked upstairs and sat on the couch, chatting. In a heated discussion about the latest anime series they had both gotten into, Leah had forgotten about Tauski.
"Sesshoumaru may be evil but he is the best kind of evil there is!" Sarah said winking.
"Ha! Yeah right! No one can beat Inu-Yasha! His ears are sooooo cute!" Leah giggled.
"I must say, Sango is the one that catches my interest." Both girls gasped upon hearing the deep male voice enter the conversation. They turned around to find Tauski leaning against the wall tapping his chin thoughtfully. "Though Kagome is cute too." Leah slapped her forehead for her stupidity while Sarah just gaped.
"Who's he?" She asked turning to Leah.
"Uhhh..This is Tauski. Tauski, this is my friend Sarah. She's going to be staying with me for the rest of the month." Leah explained.
"Oh.Um, about that. Something came up and." However she didn't get to finish as a figure strolled into the room. He was wearing lose black pants, a satin red, button-up shirt, and a knee length black over coat. He had stunning brow, almost golden eyes and long, soft black hair tied low down his back.
"It's alright, Sarah. Actually this was planned." He looked over to Tauski and smild at him.
"What the hell are you doing her, Saihitei?!" Tauski bellowed. Saihitei had came over with Sarah.
"Nevaeh sent me. She over heard that Leah's friend would be spending the month with her and decided to intervene. Instead of spouting some lie that she would see right through, she'll be joining us." He explained it so casually.
"Us?! When the hell did it become US?!" Leah took a step back from him, shocked at his outburst.
Saihitei frowned. "Tauski!" He said it as a warning, "Nevaeh gave me instructions to intervene and so I did. This is now a group of four." Narrowing his eyes and lowering his voice, he added, "Deal with it" This time it was Sarah's turn to step back, shocked.
"Hotohori?" Sarah walked up to Saihitei and calmly placed a hand on his shoulder. His body visibly relaxed at the touch and he turn to her smiling.
"Why don't we sit down and I'll explain."
So with that everyone took a seat. Three to the couch and Saihitei on a chair facing them. "It's acually really simple. I've known Sarah for about a year now. She knows me as Hotohori. Saihitei is my code name, when I'm on missions for Nevaeh." The last sentence was directed to Sarah. "I don't know how much Leah knows but for Sarah's benifit I'll explain. A well known hacker, by the name of Watase, unknowingly unleashed a deadly virus."
Tauski interupted here, "She KNEW what she was doing! The onna is evil!" With a glare from Hotohori he shut up.
"We all have our own beliefs. However. It maters not. Now we have to go around destoying the virus before it destoys us. Typical huh?" Hotohori said the last sentence with amusement and Sarah and Leah were reminded of a comic they recently read. Only instead of a virus they were aliens.
After a tiring discusion/debate, Sarah fixed a salad and spagetti for lunch. They decided that first thing in the morning they would start the 'hunt' as Tauski liked to call it. Then the question of sleeping arrangements came up...
"So where are we going to sleep?" Sarah asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You could sleep in my room, and I'll take my mom's room." Leah suggested after sluping down a noodle. Tauski grinned at her, thinking how cute she ate. Hotohori raised an eyebrow at him.
"That's fine." Hotohori got up and put his plate in the dishwasher, "So what do you want to do for the rest of the day?" He directed the question to the girls.
"How about we go see that new movie, Hot Chick?" Sarah looked around the table for aproval. She found one grinning face, one smirking face, and one confused face.
"Thats a great idea! It just came out today didn't it? I've been dying to see it." Leah gushed.
"How did I know you'd say that?" Hotohori chuckled.
"Because I've been begging you to take me?" Sarah giggled.
"Huh?" Tauski looked at everyone with a very confused expression on his face. "Whats Hot Chick?"
"It's a movie about this girl who turns into a guy basicly. It's a comedy." Leah answered.
With that they got ready, checked the times, and headed off for the theater. Picking the tickets up early, they headed to the mall to waste time. Tauski was very reluctant about being dragged into Victoria's Secret but Hotohori only laughed at him and followed the girls in. Sarah bought a cute red bra and panty set, making hotohori blush as she made him hold it for her while she continued to look around. After several more embaresing minute for the guys, they were about to leave the store, only to bump into some friends on the way out.
"Megan! Nikki!" Sarah hugged each in turn, as did Leah. "What's up?"
"Just trying to waste some time before our movie starts. You?" Megan answered
"Same here. We're seeing Hot Chick. I've been dying to see it." Leah told her
"So are we!" Nikki added excitedly
After catching up a bit they walked around untill six and headed back to the theater right across the street. The ticket line was swarming and the group was glade they had gotten their tickets ahead of time. They were one of the first people there and sat three rows from the top. They were chatting, listening to the music being played, and joking.
"Oh my god." Nikki turned to Sarah, "Do you see them? Can you tell what they're doing?"
Sarah looked up to the couple in question and gaped, "It looks like they're haveing sex." she laughed. They went on talking, every now and then looking up trying to figure out if they really WERE having sex.
Suddenly Megan gasped, and started chocking on her drink, eyes wide. "Oh my god!" She whispered after she got her breath, "They really WERE having sex! He just stood up and zipped his pants!"
"Did you see anything?" Leah asked giggling.
"Yes!"
The rest of the group looked up disgusted at the teenage couple. The top row where everyone could see you is certainly not the place. If they HAD to do it in a movie theater they could at least go down to the bottom where no one ever looks. HONESTLY!
It was only five minutes later when the movie previews came on and everyone lowered their voices. The movie was very funny but very unbelievable at some parts too. All in all they enjoyed themselfs and arived back home around 8:30.
Everyone went off to do there own thing. Leah made her way to the computer, Tauski to the TV and Sarah and Hotohori curled up with a book. It was around 11 when Leah finally went to bed. Tauski was already snoring lightly causing Leah to roll her eyes. She crawled into bed after turning the light out, and snuggled up to him. Strangely, she was comfortable with him.
It was around 11:30 when Hotohori finally put his book down. Sarah had fallen asleep against his chest a while ago and he simply pulled the covers of the bed over her and put his arm around her. He was worried about her. He had slowly started to fall in love with her over the years but couldn't bring himself to risk their friendship. Another thing that always stopped him from kissing her was his alternate life, working for Nevaeh. It was times like these that he treasured most. Lying side by side, both curled up with a book, falling asleep in each others arms. He mently laughed at himself. Who was he kidding? After his big rejection with Miaka, the death of his girlfriend Houki who had cancer. He was convinced he was a walking plauge. He was still friends with Miaka however and it took him a long time to get over her. Thats when he met Sarah. He was taking a break from 'the world of Nevaeh' when he ran into her, literally. She captivated him with her smile and kindness. He had met her friend Leah before and was struck with how much like the two were. Like sisters. Always helping others and putting themself second. Hotohori grinned, Tauski was starting to catch it. That little thing called love.
Authors Notes: THAT ACUALLY HAPPENED TO ME! Last night I went to go see that movie and I swear that acually happend! lol. Nasty! But anyways...The more reviews the more inspiration, the quicker the chapters come out! ^_- So let me know what you think!
