"Runa! Runa are you awake yet! Runa you're going to be late!"
She wasn't sure what time it was anymore or where she was. The last thing she did remember was that she had been with Shigure. She shifted slightly causing a slight pain in her ribs. Groaning she rolled over only to fall off the bed landing with a loud thump on the floor.
" God Dam It!"
She pulled herself up to find the room pitch black and she was still wearing her kimono. Grumbling she got up and went to the bathroom. She emerged fifteen minutes later wearing a pair of tan baggy dockers and a pale blue quarter sleeve shirt. She hair pulled up into her usual ponytail, grabbing her bag she headed towards the kitchen.
" Hold on Jen I'm coming!"
" Hurry up will be late!"
Shaking her head she grabbed a can of pop then headed for the door stopping when she spotted a note on the table. Curious she picked it and began to open it.
" RUNA!"
" Coming!!"
She shoved the paper in her pocket and ran out the door to her waiting friend Jen.
It was one a.m. and he couldn't fall asleep, normally he would be writing but for some reason he was unable to do that too. He shifted slightly placing his head in his hands and stared at the blank computer screen.
" This is new. I wasn't supposed to actually get attached. I wasn't even supposed to still be engaged."
He shifted again plopping his head on the table.
" She was supposed to have been married off already to someone in America. What the hell happened? She certainly has changed a lot though. All of which makes it harder to resist her."
He could feel himself getting aroused just thinking about her and all her lovely curves and what she would look like now in that Halloween costume.
"DAM IT!"
" So who's the guy?"
" What do you mean?"
Jen looked at Runa she was prepping her guitar for the next set.
" Hello! * waves hand in front of her face * I'm not blind ya know. You've been smiling all night and you seem happier. So who is he?"
" Just because something good happens to me you automatically assume it's a guy."
" Yeah."
" Jen you are hopeless."
Runa got up and walked away carrying her guitar with Jen chasing behind her.
" Runa!"
He was definitely restless and he also knew why he just didn't want to say it out loud. He sat there staring at his closet for what seemed like forever when he finally stood up a slow grin spreading across his face. He was going to enjoy this and it would throw her off balance something she hated and he loved to do.
They had just finished their last set and she was still full of energy. Usually she wasn't this hyper this late but she had actually slept so she was energized.
" So what do ya wanna do?"
"Hm?"
"Jen, Hello!"
Runa walked in front of her friend and waved her hand before her eyes.
" Are you listening to me?"
" Hm? Yeah."
" No your not. What are you looking at anyway?"
Runa turned to see what was distracting her friend but she couldn't find anything. So maybe it was a guy, so she scanned the area again not finding anyone that would catch Jen's attention until her gaze stopped at a man dressed in black slacks and a navy shirt and black jacket. His dark hair was covering his face so she couldn't see him clearly.
" Jen is that all you ever think about?"
" Hey someone has to since you never do."
Runa's cheeks turned pink and she mumbled incoherently before Jen turned towards her and laughed.
" Well shall we go introduce ourselves?"
" No thanks he's all yours."
Runa leaned against the wall waiting for to see if she would be going out alone or with Jen.
It really was an interesting place she played at not bad for an illeagel gambling club. He had spotted her when he came in and his eyes never left her. He noticed he had also been spotted and hit on by a few people, nice to know he still had it.
He ordered a drink and looked back to see a young brunette making her way over to him a look of sheer predatory on her face. She wasn't bad looking wearing a tight blue dress with matching blue strappy shoes her hair hanging down.
" Lost?"
Shigure just arched a brow
" Or are you a stray? I always had a thing for little stray puppies."
She smiled her blue eyes sparkling as she leaned into him and whispered in his ear.
Runa could tell she was going to be parting alone tonight since Jen seemed to have pulled in another one. Laughing to herself and pitying the poor guy Runa just pushed off the wall and began to walk towards the door.
Shigure just grinned at her pulling her away to face him.
" Sorry but I'm not a puppy and I'm not lost either. Though I wouldn't mind following you home."
Jen grinned she got him.
" But I already have a place to stay the night."
Jen sat there pouting for about five seconds until she noticed he walked right up to Runa and tapped her on the shoulder. Runa practically jumped him before the two walked out the door.
'So that's the guy. Interesting indeed.'
Runa was halfway out the door when someone tapped her on the shoulder she turned around only to find Shigure standing behind her smiling at her.
" What are you doing here?"
" Came to see you play."
" How did you know where I was?"
" Um..Evie."
Runa scowled how could her own sister tell the last person she wanted to know where she worked.
" So what'd you want?"
Shigure watched her as she made her way through the crowd her hips swaying slightly when she moved. He answered her his eyes never leaving her backside.
" To see you."
She stopped causing him to run into her and both to stumble forwards, she would have fallen but he grabbed her around the waist pulling her close to him.
She could feel her hearting beating and it wasn't from nearly falling it was being so close to Shigure. She could feel his warm breath against the side of her neck and face.
She felt perfect and seemed to mold to every curve. He let his hand spread across her stomach causing a sharp in take in breath from her.
She wasn't sure what he was doing but if he kept it up she wouldn't want him to stop. His hand spread across her stomach while the other one slide up her side.
" Shigure."
He grinned she sounded so tempting when she whispered his name like that. He leaned down and whispered into her ear.
" Hm?"
Runa felt her insides turn to jelly from the sound of his deep voice in her ear. She bit her lip to control herself from turning around to see what his face looked like. Hers on the other hand was slowly turning bright red.
She took a few deep breaths before responding hoping her voice came out sounding normal.
" Viacom?"
He was still engrossed in how soft her skin was and how she fit nicely into him he didn't quiet hear her.
"Hm?"
Runa closed her eyes and swallowed.
" Viacom? Up for it?"
She could feel him smiling against her neck making her shiver slightly.
" Sore because I beat you the last time?"
Shigure felt her shiver slightly against him making him grin even more than he already was.
" What do you mean beat me? It was a draw."
" Not the way I remember and I have a good memory."
Runa whirled around her face still slightly pink but she wasn't nervous anymore.
"Still able to remember things at your age?"
Shigure let her go and he pouted looking hurt.
"With age comes wisdom you know. Something you could use a little of considering I did beat you."
"I don't know what fantasy world you're living in but I recall clearly that it was a draw. And you certainly haven't gotten any wiser if your still passing notes."
She held a folder piece of paper and waved it at him. He grinned sheepishly and noticed that the pink tint had gotten slightly redder.
" Hey thought you needed sweet dreams."
" Sweet yes, perverted no."
The two continued to talk like that until they reached the arcade. Once inside thought they went straight towards the first person shooter games each picking up a gun.
"I would just like to apologize in advance for kicking your butt."
" Sorry but I can't except it since you're the one who get your but kicked."
" Yeah, yeah just shoot already."
As it turned out Shigure was a little rusty so Runa won the first two games but then Shigure won the next two. During the finally game the two were trying to distract the other by doing or saying stupid things.
Shigure had just told Runa to give the girl behind her his number, Runa fumed because the girl was only seventeen. When she looked away he had taken one of her lives so to get back at him she did what any girl would do she used her secret weapon the one thing she knew he couldn't resist.
" You know that picture I sent you."
" Which one I have lots."
" Oh you know the one with me and my friends."
" I repeat which one."
" The Halloween one. You know the one with me wearing that school girl outfit."
" Yeah?"
" Well I was wondering if Ayame would be able to make me another one considering the other one kind of got damaged."
" Eh?"
Shigure's head snapped up with that last comment and he noticed Runa was blushing furiously and avoiding his gaze. He was so busy trying to figure out what she meant by damaged that he wasn't paying attention to the game and in a matter of seconds he was dead and Runa was smiling.
" Told you I'd win."
" What do you mean damaged?"
Runa smiled and shrugged her shoulders.
" Oh you know just a little tear here and there a few buttons missing. Nothing to worry about."
She tapped his nose and walked away towards the food court. Leaving Shigure to stare at her retreating backside and wonder just what she had truly meant.
It was five a.m. when they said good-bye and parted ways. Shigure was crawling into his bed around 5:30 only to be awaked by Tooru's soft footsteps in the hallway.
Runa made her way down the street towards a semi-large office building where she made her way up to the third floor.
"Morning Kim-san."
" Morning already?"
" Yup and I'm here to take over for you."
Kim stood up and stretched her arms then scooped up her pens and pencils and paints leaving her unfinished pile of cells and disks for Runa to finish.
" I only have three backgrounds left and two and a half disks to finish."
" Wow! You did a lot then."
" Yup! I really want to finish this early."
Runa waved good-bye to Kim and set up her stuff to begin working.
" Ah morning Shigure!"
" Good morning Tooru."
He tried to sound his usual cheerful self but he couldn't lack of sleep can do that to someone and Tooru noticed this right away. She quickly placed a hand on his forehead.
" Are you all right Shigure?"
Shigure smiled gently at Tooru and was going to answer when * bam * the next thing he knew he was lying on his backside watching a pair of feet walk by him and Yuki's voice muttering perverted inu.
" Ow! That hurt! * Puppy dog eyes * Tooru I think I have a concussion maybe you could * bam * "
He was on his backside again looking up at Kyou who was scowling down at him muttering perverted inu. Shigure just grinned at the two of them, if they only truly knew.
" Oy What are you smiling for?"
Kyou asked eyeing the inu from the corner of the room. Shigure just smiled and shook his head.
" Nothing, Shouldn't you be going? You don't want to late?"
" Oh no were going to be late!"
Tooru jumped up and grabbed her bag followed by Kyou, Yuki was already waiting outside for them and the three went to school.
Runa had finished the rest of the work around noon so after she talked with the boss she headed home.
" Hmm.I really should buy some food and I do need a couple things. I wonder if Ayame is opened yet?"
With that thought she walked down the street towards his shop. The little silver bell ringing signaling a customer's entrance into the store. Mine walked up front to find a very lovely young lady looking around the shop.
" May I help you?"
Runa turned to see a young woman dressed in a conductor's outfit standing in front of her.
" Is Aya here?"
Mine looked the girl over a little surprised that she knew and called him by his nickname. She knew of only two people who called him that and they were both men. Before she could answer the man walked out from the back room wearing a black rob with a deep purple sash.
" Mine I still think something is not right. I wonder if I-"
He stopped mid-sentence when he glanced up a huge smile on his face his golden eyes sparkling. Mine had only seen him smile like that when he talked about his brother Yuki so who ever this girl was she was very special.
" Runa!"
" Oy, Aya!"
He raced over to her and glomped her in a second swinging her around till she was giggling like mad.
" My darling little Iri what are you doing here?"
" I came back to ask if you would be able to make me another outfit."
" Anything for you Iri! How about something seductive in pink and black or something yellow and blue with a cut off and large sleeves and anklets or.."
" A school girl uniform?"
" A school girl uniform with-wait what?"
He stopped and looked at her she was blushing madly and her face was very red. He grinned evilly, so she wanted another schoolgirl outfit did she. Well she was defiantly going to get one.
Runa was still blushing madly after she left Ayame's shop but she did ask so she had no one to blame but herself. She should have known he would tease her mercilessly. She stopped at the corner store and picked up a few things to eat and some other things she needed.
She had just finished cleaning and making herself lunch when she saw she had a message.
" Hmm wonder who called?"
beep beep beep beep
" End of messages. "
She wasn't sure what time it was anymore or where she was. The last thing she did remember was that she had been with Shigure. She shifted slightly causing a slight pain in her ribs. Groaning she rolled over only to fall off the bed landing with a loud thump on the floor.
