Listening to All I Want for Christmas and it's given me an idea. So has the
song Dude Looks Like a Lady but you'll have to wait to see what I've come
up with.
Anyways, I'll be away for the next two weeks (family reunion in Michigan)
so I thought I'd post this chapter in the mean time. That doesn't mean
you're gonna get away with a free chapter. When I get back I'm expecting
ten reviews if you want chapter 11 up.
PLEASE REVIEW!!!
Chapter 9
"Anchovies?!" Mayonaka scowled, "Only freaks eat anchovies."
"Not everyone who eats it is a freak, just Tanya," Kat said.
Tanya glared at Kat and Mayonaka laughed when he caught sight of the small fish hanging out of her mouth.
"I'm not a freak," Tanya muttered while sucking up the fish.
"Sure," Kat and Mayonaka said.
Tanya continued to glare at them while munching on the leftover pizza.
"Anyway, I'm going to check on Kenshin," Kat announced.
"Just check on him or something els-" Tanya was cut off by a shoe thrown by Kat.
Kat exited the kitchen growling, leaving an unconscious Tanya and a laughing Mayonaka.
Kat entered the room yawning.
"Tired?" the Kenshin asked.
"Yah, after all, it's been a long day." Kat said.
She helped him up from the floor and they made their way to her room.
Kat tried to stifle another yawn but found it useless.
Kenshin saw her yawning and caught it.
His mouth opened in a wide yawn and Kat giggled, "Sorry, didn't know it was that contagious."
Kenshin escorted Kat to her room and wished her a good night.
He made his way to the guest room across from hers and found a corner by the window to sleep under.
Kat sighed and hopped into bed. 'If I don't sleep for the next few years I'll be surprised.'
She yawned again and pulled the covers closer to her neck.
Kat squirmed around trying to find the right position to sleep in.
"Are you going to do that all night?" an annoyed voice asked.
Kat rolled over to find Tanya standing in her doorway, "Maybe."
"If you can't stand the thought of him being only 20 feet away and you not sleeping next to him then just go over there and do it," Tanya grumbled and yawned.
"Don't do that," Kat said as she caught the yawn.
"Anyways, just go over there and sleep with him?" Tanya asked.
Kat threw a pillow at her friend, "Freak!"
"No I didn't mean sleep with him meant sleep with him," Tanya said.
"Wow that sounds much clearer," Kat muttered.
"You know what I mean!" Tanya growled and stalked off.
Kat sighed, knowing her friend was right.
She pulled her comforter off her bed and went to join Kenshin.
She found him in a corner by the window, bangs covering his face and sword against his shoulder.
She knew he wasn't asleep and that he had heard her come in.
He lifted his head and watched her walk over.
He shifted his sword to his other shoulder, "Something wrong?"
"No, I just wanted to join you," Kat said.
"Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not doing anything exciting," Kenshin joked.
"I know," Kat said sheepishly.
Kenshin put his sword down and shifted to make room.
Kat sat down next to him and thought of something to say. 'Should I tell him how hot he looks in the moonlight? No that would only earn me an ORO?! and an unconscious red head.'
Kenshin grabbed the comforter Kat was carrying and wrapped it around them.
She moved closer to keep her feet from sticking out of the blanket.
They sat there a moment before realizing that that wouldn't be a very comfortable position to sleep in.
Kenshin watched as Kat scooted even closer and hesitate before she laid her head on him.
Her hair felt silky against his chest and he was tempted to run his fingers through it.
Kat could hear the steady beat of his heart and it began to lull her to sleep.
Kenshin was surprised when he noticed that she had fallen asleep and was even more surprised when his heart began to pick up speed.
His eyes flashed gold in the eerie glow from the moon.
He hoped that she couldn't hear it the thundering his heart was making.
Kat shifted in his struggle to calm down and she slipped down his chest. 'Oh no! Don't do that!'
He tried to grab her before she slipped even lower but he was afraid that he would wake her.
There were soft foot steps approaching and he began to panic.
Kat had slipped all the way into his lap by then.
Mayonaka stifled a yawn as he walked past his mother's room.
No one was there so he decided to peak into the guest room.
Kenshin saw Mayonaka pear in and snatched the blanket to cover Kat before his young eyes could manage a peep.
Mayonaka blinked then shook his head. 'I must be dreaming. Either that or my parents are perverts.'
There was a soft muffled, "Oro?!" and all was quiet.
