Snippet: Tasuki was mumbling something and Catelyn just blurted out, "Tasuki, do you like me or what because you hate woman and I don't think you like me but I like you and I don't wanna be hurt so just tell me now!"
"Uh, Uh, Uh, I don't, uh, I."
Catelyn was getting frustrated now and frankly, it didn't matter to her anymore because she already knew that he didn't like her. "You know what, forget it. I'm tired of playing games with you. I know you don't like me and I don't care anymore. You can go and hate girls all you want. I'm a girl and I have no problem with that and if you." Before she could finish, Tasuki ran out the room and slammed the door behind him. Catelyn was in shock. She got up and opened the door and screamed down the hallway "Yeah that's what I thought jerk-off, walk away like a coward." She slams the door behind her.
Koji opens the door to his room and walks into Catelyn's. Joanne decides not to follow; she doesn't want to get caught in the middle of this.
~Catelyn's room~ "Koji, you know, I really did like Tasuki. But he is such a bitch. I try and try and I know I made the point very clear but he just doesn't get it and it makes me so upset because I still like him. I just want to know if he feels the same and he can't tell me." Koji looks at her and shakes his head. "You both have problems. You both are stubborn and stuck up. Genru doesn't tell everyone everything. Me, his best friend for life, he won't even tell me everything. But look at it this way, do you think he likes you?" Catelyn sighs, "No, I don't think he likes me because he treats me like crap."
~Out on the porch where Tasuki is~ Tasuki thinking to himself: Why does she have to make it so hard for me? I mean what's the point. I know she knows that I like her. I have given her so many clues. But I am just afraid of the commitment. I can't stand it, and she knows that and yet she still makes it hard for me. I wish I could just tell her, but then I bet she'll get all serious on me. I can't stand this. Tasuki, you need to toughen yourself up. Don't be so afraid to try new things. Just tell her you like her. Okay. Tell her. Don't be scared. God this is so freaken hard.
End of thinking
~Catelyn's Room~ "You should just go and talk to him. I mean he is sitting downstairs like a dog." Joanne says coming into the room not knocking. Catelyn sighs and says, "Look, why can't he come up and talk to me. But like always, I'm always the bigger person so I will go." Joanne and Koji looks at each other and smiles, "Atta girl!" They both say.
~Downstairs~ Catelyn just didn't feel right having to keep asking him since boys are the ones that are supposed to "ask" the girls. Tasuki came back inside from the porch. His head is down and suddenly he sees Catelyn standing in front of him. "Hey." Catelyn sorta laughs, "Hey.look I'm sorry about before. I know I was really being a bitch and I don't care anymore f you don't like me or whatever." before she could finish her sentence Tasuki gave her a big hug. Catelyn was very surprised and didn't know what to do. Koji and Joanne were watching from the staircase and they said in a sort of scream/whisper way "Hug him back!" So that's what Catelyn did. "Um are you okay Tas?" Tasuki finally let go of her, "I do like you Catelyn. I like you a lot. I really like you but I was just always so afraid of commitment. Don't think I don't like you okay." Catelyn gave him a funny look and then walked away. Actually she walked into the kitchen.
~Kitchen~ Catelyn thinking to herself: What the hell just went on? I discard my feelings for him and then he comes and tells me that he likes me? That is not right. Why? I should be happy that he likes me but why do I have this feeling that it doesn't seem right? Jeez, what the hell am I going to do? I should go for it. I like him; I know I do. I should, shouldn't I? End of thinking Catelyn walks back into the living room where they were waiting.
Catelyn runs to Tasuki. "I can't like you back. I don't like you anymore. I'm sorry." then she runs upstairs and closed the door. "What the hell was that about?" Tasuki says looking at Koji and Joanne with a very confused look. Joanne runs upstairs and tries to open the door to Catelyn's room but its locked. She goes back downstairs, "Guys, I think we'll have to share a room tonight, Catelyn locked her door and that's not a good thing."
Catelyn sat on her bed thinking about what she did. She looked up at the clock. It was 5 minutes till 2. She pulled the covers up and she closed her eyes. She wasn't sleepy but she just laid there, curled into a ball, crying. "Did I just do the wrong thing to turn him down? I've liked him for so long, why did I turn him down?" The minutes ticked away and soon, she just cried herself to sleep.
~The Next Morning~
Catelyn heard a knock on her door. She looked at the clock and saw that it was already 12:30. She got up and opened the door. It was Tasuki. He pushed his way into the bedroom. "Joanne wanted me to tell you that she was going somewhere and she'll be back in two days." Catelyn didn't want to look at him, she couldn't. "Um. okay, thanks for giving me the message." She said and then she walked out of the room to go the bathroom.
Tasuki stayed in her room though, and he sat on her bed? He saw a stain on her bed sheet. "Does she drool or something?" he thought to himself. He laughed to himself and then he saw Catelyn looking at him from the doorway wiping her face with a towel. "What are you still doing here?" Tasuki looked alarmed, "oh nothing, I just wanted to look around. As he walked out Catelyn grabbed him by the arm lightly. "About yesterday night." She looked at her feet since she didn't want their eyes to meet. Her eyes were watering again "I didn't mean to do that to you. I know that I kept forcing you to tell me if you liked me or not and then when you asked me to, you know, I rejected you. I don't want you to have any hard feelings or anything." She let go of Tasuki's arm to wipe 1 tear away from her eye. Tasuki touched her cheek and then he moved down to her chin and lifted it up. Their eyes met for 2 seconds then she closed her eyes and tried to turn away but Tasuki held her by the shoulders. She kept her eyes closed but then she just felt Tasuki pull her close to him. She felt his body heat and she could hear his heart beat. Tasuki hadn't said a single word to her until now, "You expect me to not have any hard feelings?" Catelyn opened her eyes in shock. His voiced filled with anger and pain. Her hands that were at her sides now moved up to push away from him. He tightened his grip though and continued talking. "You were the first girl I had feelings for. You made me say the things I didn't want to. You made me tell you how I felt about you. You were the first girl that could make me do all of those things and then you turn me down."
She felt a tear drip down her cheek. But it wasn't hers. She looked up at Tasuki and tears dripped down his eyes. "You don't understand Catelyn. All my life, I've never felt this way about any girl. None of them could make me tell them how I felt. None of them made me think so much about myself. You were the first one." Catelyn Pulled away finally and she looked up at his eyes for the first time at will. "What about Miaka? You loved her. You tried to take her from Tamahome. You told her that you couldn't stand it that Tamahome kept making her cry and that you wanted to make her happy. You loved her." Tasuki wiped his face dry and her looked at Catelyn as if he would burn. "That was a different story. And who told you about that?" Catelyn put on a fake smile, "It doesn't matter who told me. And it's not a different story." She walked over to her bed ad sat down. She buried her face into her hands and cried. Tasuki walked over to Catelyn, "Its different because those thoughts only came out because I was under a curse. Sure, those were the things that I was thinking, but if the curse were never upon me, I wouldn't have said those things. I would have never done those actions. I loved her but I was more in denial. I am sick of trying to explain to you now. I guess now I know how you felt when you loved someone and they kept everything from you."
Catelyn stood up and hugged him. Tasuki didn't want to but he hugged her back. "I love you Catelyn, but I won't alter your feelings." Once they held each other, it was like they couldn't be separated. "I'm sorry Tasuki, for making you feel like that. I don't love you, and I do really like you. I just wanted you to get a taste of what I felt, but I guess, I got a taste of what you felt to."
Tasuki beamed with joy.
The phone had rang downstairs and Catelyn ran down the stairs and tripped and sprained her ankle. Tasuki lifted her off her feet and back into the room. Tasuki sat down on the bed and stilling carrying Catelyn put her down beside him. They just let the phone ring and when Catelyn tried to get up Tasuki pulled her back down. She looked into the friendliest eyes ever. He held her chin up a little and kissed her lightly on the lips. It was the lightest kiss Catelyn ever had. She looked up into the friendliest pair of eyes that she had ever seen.
They leaned together and kissed again but then, they heard a funny noise. Their stomachs were grumbling. They laughed and they went downstairs to look for something to eat. The fridge had no real food in it except for some pancake mix.
"This is all we have unless you want to get dressed and go out." Catelyn said shaking the mix. Tasuki was pretty hungry and he didn't feel like eating what he had for breakfast so he chose going out.
What's in the next chapter? Wait and see! Should I make a lemon? I don't know if I should. I don't want to end up making a bad one, ya know!
