Romance Chapter Two: Life Is Peaceful There.
Chou-Sha Residence: 7:00 p.m.
I don't understand and I wish I did.
She'd been like this ever since I could remember her. She never really told the four of us anything. Of course, we have to give her room. It's her right to keep from us what she wants. She isn't the type to take liking to nosy people.
Maybe that's why she hangs out with us. She and I always have talked about certain things she admits she's never talked to anyone about. But there's something else. Something that she'd been hiding for a long time now - and I can tell, she's trying her best to cope up with it.
Well, I guess if she wants to tell me, then she will.
''Oi, Chou.''
Kanna looked up to see Natsumi. ''Hai? Nan desu, Natsumi-chan?'' Natsumi sighed as she looked at her. ''Have you seen my hoop earrings.''
She let out a soft laugh. ''You're going to have to be more specific than that - you have a lot of those.''
''The ones with the rubies.''
''Gomen nasai - I haven't.'' Natsumi seemed to notice the troubled look on Kanna's face. She sighed and looked at her.
''Okay, what the hell is wrong?''
''Eh?''
''What the hell happened? Are you still worried about Suzumi?'' The brunette smiled gently and laughed softly. ''I guess I can't help myself.''
''Taku. Suzumi's a big girl now, she can take care of herself. Besides, if she found out you were fussing over her, she'd probably say you're being stupid and to cut it out.'' Kanna laughed and nodded. ''Eh. You're probably right.'' She looked up. ''Demo.''
''Ah.'' Natsumi sighed again and shook her head. ''Don't worry about it. Suzumi will be fine. She just needs some time off as always.''
''I guess.'' she glanced back at her roomate. ''Are you going out?''
''Aa. Don't wait up, okay?''
''I never do.'' Natsumi smirked before walking off. Kanna looked back at the window, she sighed as she noticed that it had started to rain. She walked to the window and pulled it closed. Her moods were somehow starting to darken. She looked up, she never liked the rain. It brought
She'd been through a whole lot. She'd gone through a long way. Her parents died when she was around nine years old. She and her sister had survived the fire that killed them. And since their mother's parents hated their father's parents and vice versa, both parties wanted nothing to do with them. So, basically no one would take them in. Konoe had to find work so she could raise them both. She did, she worked as a secretary somewhere. And they were doing just fine. It didn't earn them much but it was enough to get them the basic neccesities.
She loved her older sister the most. They only had each other left and that was enough for the both of them. Konoe decided that they didn't need their granparents or their other relatives and they were happy enough where they were.
Until that one night happened. Konoe was on her way home from work - it was one of those stormy days. Kanna had advised her earlier not to go out to work since it seemed pretty dangerous. But Konoe kept insisting that she would be fine. Besides, a day absent would mean a minus from her salery. That was the last thing they needed. So, she went of to work anyway.
The storm was getting worse on her way home. The rain was pouring and her the wipers were broke. She made sure to be careful as she drove, but she didn't see that car making a sudden turn, the car had crashed into hers sending Konoe's car swerving to a tree and crashing into it pretty deep - she died instantly when it happened.
She was an orphan now - and since Natsumi had known her then, she agreed to take her in. That's why she and Natsumi had been close friends for so long. Kanna had been thirteen when that happened
Another story of hers was her boyfriend before Aoshima. He was a kind young man, a very soft-spoken yet determined young man at that. His name was Kenji and they had met a year y after Konoe's death. He be-friended her and talked to her frequently until it became an everyday bit.
Next thing they knew, their relationship had developed into something else. They soon became lovers - and both of them were happy with that idea. He took care of her and made sure that no harm came to her. He loved her for who she was and accepted her for it. They were together for a whole year before a terrible accident met up with him.
He was on his way home from Kanna and Natsumi's house when it was raining. Kanna insisted that he stay over for the night and Natsumi herself was saying for him to do the same. But he kept insisting he would be fine. When he was about to leave, he got on his motorbike and was driving off when he wasn't even far enough from Kanna's house when a speeding car due to a drunk driver came driving by. Kanna saw this and was terrified as she ran outside - but it was too late, the car had hit him and he was blown back - the force was enough to kill him.
Natsumi rushed out of the house to find Kanna crying in the rain as she held the bleeding body of her lover in her arms. Ever since then, she could never stand the rain. It's loud. She thought to herself as she got on her bed and hugged a pillow. Looking outside as the rain got stronger. She shivered as she thought she heard the crashing sound of the motorbike and Kenji crying out as he got blown back. She clenched her fists but kept calm.
She was lucky enough to have certain people in her life that makes even her worst her best of days. Natsumi was one. She helped out by taking her in and be-friending her. They complimented each other a lot, everyone said. And she couldn't help but agree to it. They were like fire and water. Natsumi was a little impulsive and she was always the calmer one. Kanna loved her laid-back behavior most, sure, there were times that she could be a handful, but she wouldn't have her any other way. Natsumi was Natsumi and she appreciated that.
Chiyo was a sweet young girl. Thoughtful, playful, cheerful and energetic. No one can really win over her. It was cute how that girl never really knew how to lie. You could count on her to help out when needed. She was always so friendly to everyone. Besides, nothing was complicated for her. She felt what she wanted to feel. Natsumi would joke around that she didn't have the brains to pretend. Maybe she was right.
Then, there was Suzumi. She never understood what to think of her, actually. They would talk a whole lot. Kanna would tell her a lot of things that she never told anyone. And Suzumi would always listen. She was always patient with Suzumi's moods, since she knew that's what she needed. And she would understand everything that she would say. Almost as if they were weirdly enough, on the same page.
Maybe they had a profound connection that she didn't know about. But there was something else - besides the fact that they understood each other well - it was almost as if they shared something that she didn't exactly know what.
She walked to her window and looked out. The lights to Suzumi's room were open. She then saw her getting up and walking to her closet. Pulling out a silken lavander robe, she started to undress herself. Tossing her blouse and her skirt to the hamper by her door, Leaving nothing on but her underwear as she put on the robe. Kanna seemed to notice the slender features on her. The way her waist and her hips were curved gracefully. She was starting to see why they wanted her so much.
She immediately blushed and turned away, laughing softly to herself as she ran a hand through her hair. ''What am I doing?'' she asked herself softly. Shaking her head she sighed. ''I don't understand that either.''
She felt sometimes that she was attracted to Suzumi. Sometimes it would be physical and sometimes emotional. She loved the strength that Suzumi had within her. And this usually attracted her - there were times she almost said it out loud, but she knew this couldn't be possible without something getting thrown at her. She didn't think Suzumi would react well to something like that.
But she found her more beautiful than anyone she'd ever met. She suddenly looked up as she heard someone calling.
''Oi, Kanna.'' She turned around to see Suzumi looking out the open window, she nodded.
''Is Natsumi there?'' Kanna shook her head as she smiled, the blonde took a deep breath and gestured for her to come. ''Get over here will you?'' she asked as she then turned away.
Kanna sighed as she opened her window and stepped out through it, hurrying her footsteps - she stepped into Suzumi's room the window.
''I thought you wanted to get some sleep?'' she asked. ''I couldn't sleep.'' Suzumi answered tying the belt of her robe properly. She looked at Kanna and sighed as she sat down across the room.
''Is it the rain?'' Kanna tried her luck with a smile. She was expecting Suzumi to snap at her for the comment, but she didn't. Instead she looked out the window. ''Aa.'' She answered, she glanced back at Kanna. ''You, too?''
Kanna nodded. ''Eh.'' She sighed and looked out the window herself. ''The raindrops are too loud - tapping on my window, I can't get any rest this way.''
Suzumi didn't say anything for a moment. Kanna then looked at her.
''Suzumi-chan.''
''Nanda?'' Kanna paused and took a deep breath. ''Have you ever felt - attracted to someone?''
Suzumi arched an eyebrow and looked at her. ''What?''
''I know, it's a strange question.'' she paused and looked up. ''But I just wanted to know - have you ever felt attracted to someone? Whether it be physically or maybe emotionally - ''
''It's not a strange question.'' Suzumi answered, looking at her. ''Why would you ask?''
''I - I don't know - I guess I was -'' Kanna sighed. ''I guess I was just curious.'' Suzumi paused and then looked up. She knew she would be lying if she said she never felt that -- the truth was, she hadn't in a long time - then she met Kanna. There was something different about her - she felt attraction but dared not say it.
''No.'' she lied as she didn't look Kanna in the eye.
''Sou desu ka.'' Kanna said, sounding a little disappointed. ''Ja, Atashi wa ---'' Suzumi looked at her, waiting for her to continue the sentence. ''Ah?''
''N-Nande mou arimasen yo.'' Kanna said with a smile, she looked down and sighed. ''I just -''
''Have you?''
''Eh?'' She slightly flushed red at the question. ''Me?'' ''Aa.'' Kanna paused for a moment and then looked up. ''The truth is - '' she got up and walked to Suzumi. ''Suzumi-chan.'' Suzumi got up, looking at her blankly as she stepped closer. ''What?''
''Suzumi-chan.'' The blonde then noticed that their faces were an inch away from touching. She was about to close her eyes and draw closer when there was a knock on the door.
''Suzumi.'' Kanna jumped back and glanced at the door. Suzumi sighed, recognizing the voice. ''It's Komyo-nisama.'' She said glancing at Kanna.
''Come in.'' The door opened and a young man with long brown hair and black eyes entered, smiling at them.
''Ah, Kanna. I didn't know you were here.'' Kanna smiled politely and nodded. ''Komyo-san. Konbanwa.''
Suzumi nodded at him. ''Kasaan, was looking for you.'' Komyo nodded as he smiled. ''I know, I already did see her.'' he glanced over at Kanna and then back at Suzumi. ''Is Kanna sleeping over?''
Suzumi glanced at Kanna and was about to say something. When Kanna got up and sighed. ''Ja. I'll be on my way now -'' she bowed at them politely. Suzumi glanced at her for a moment and then sighed and turned away. ''Fine.'' She said blankly. ''I guess I'll see you tomorrow.''
Kanna nodded and walked to the window, smiling and waving at Komyo before stepping out and pulling it shut again. Suzumi didn't say anything for a moment, then she glanced at Komyo who only smiled at her.
''Onisama.'' she trailed off. She paused and then looked up. Komyo noticed that she seemed trouble. ''Is something wrong?'' Komyo asked as he sat beside her.
''It's just that -'' she paused again. Nothing seemed to be coming out right. Suzumi sighed and shook her head. ''Nevermind.''
Pizza place: 8:30 p.m.
Goddamn it those two.
Why can't they just let it go and get things over with?
Why do they continue making it hard on themselves. It's not like I'm three years old and I havem't noticed how they'd look at each other - If I'm not mistaken dearest Genjo Suzumi might have something for Chou Kanna.
Not like it's any of my business anyway. All I'm saying, they're BOTH wearing ME out. But I guess if it's gonna happen - then it's gonna happen -
''What are you writing?'' Chiyo asked as she looked up from her pizza.
Natsumi patted Chiyo firmly on the head. ''None of your business, saru.'' ''Saru te yu na!''
Natsumi sighed and looked up, scouting the grounds for some cute guy to walk around any moment now. Unfortunately, tonight seemed like a slow night for her. She sighed and took a bite out of her pizza, she turned back to her beer. Her red eyes widened as Chiyo ate the last piece.
''HEY!'' Natsumi exclaimed as she frowned at the monkey.
''You had the first three slices!'' Chiyo said as she finished it up.
''I'm gonna kick your monkey ass, monkey!'' She suddenly paused as the door opened. She looked up to see a young woman who looked as if she were a year older than her. Wavy red-orange hair and deep jet black eyes. Tall, voluptuous and full built with her tanned skin. She sat on the counter and gestured to the waiter to bring her a beer. She smirked slightly, but it seemed as if she were bored.
She hadn't even realized that Chiyo was eating the pizza on her plate. The woman looked over to her and smirked.
Now she was sure that she herself was bi-sexual. And she knew that she would go for that woman - She just wasn't sure about her. Natsumi smirked, leaving the younger girl to finish every evidence of pizza on the table.
She approached the woman and looked at her. ''Oi.''
The young woman looked up, smirking as well. ''Hey.'' Natsumi smirked and sat down beside her. ''Waiting for someone?''
''Aa. A few friends of mine actually.'' She answered, nodding as the beer was placed before her. ''Honestly, I hate this place.''
''I do too. But all the pizza places around here serve crap.'' She let out a laugh, Natsumi couldn't help but smile.
Chiyo was blinking as she watched the two women talking. She sighed and took out a yellow notebook of hers with drawings of the sun. She opened it and took out her blue pen, she started to write.
I really don't get the three of them. They're a little weird if you ask me.
Suzumi's really been acting weird - and she acts weird all the time around kanna-chan. I don't know, it's almost as if they're hiding things from each other. And I really don't think it's fair that they hide secrets. I don't hide secrets. Why do they?
Then there's Natsumi. She goes with guys and girls at the same time. I actually saw her kissing another girl once. And I got confused - when I asked Suzumi about it, she told me that it was none of my business and I shouldn't ask about it anymore.
I just wish someone would tell me what was REALLY going on.
Natsumi looked up as the young woman sighed and finished her beer in a sitting, she slung her bag over her shoulder and got up.
''Well, I should be going. Glad to have met someone with a mutual hate for this place.'' She said.
''Hey, you have a name or something?'' Natsumi asked. The young woman smirked before she turned away and walked off. ''It's Airana.'' She answered as she pushed the door open and stepped out.
Natsumi smirked as Chiyo walked towards her.
''What was that?'' Chiyo asked. Natsumi waved a hand nonchalantly and sighed as she put the money on the cashier's hand and walked towards the door. ''A new friend of mine, Chiyo. A new friend.''
Kanzeon Bosatsu laughed as she leaned back, Jiroushin seemed slightly confused.
''Looks like things are getting somewhere.''
