Chapter 2: Night Between Us
She had to tell him. She had to thank him and apologize, and maybe even tell
him why she did something that stupid. They say it's better to talk about
things with someone... but why Tasuki? He would probably just laugh at her
for loving the man who had just hit her, and wonder why women are so stupid.
He does claim to hate women after all. But something in her heart told her
he would never do that... and so, she decided she would tell him. He had
just left to go change, leaving her staring out the window at the clear
night sky. Her reflection seemed like someone else, and she wished it was.
Her eyes were dull and slightly puffy from crying, her hair clung to her face
and robe from the mist that had adorned her body when she had stepped
outside, and her face was paled and solem. She continued to stare at this
lifeless girl until another figure appeared behind her, a man. She turned
and smiled at Tasuki half-heartedly before realizing how handsom and strong
he was wearing only his pants. She quickly shook the thought from her mind
and stood up.
"Gomen nasai..."
Tasuki looked at her serious face quizzically.
"Fer what? Ya don't have to be sorry for noth..."
"Yes i do." she said, cutting his sentence short.
"You didn't use your tessen as i had asked... but you got hurt for it. And i
wanted to thank you for listening to me. I know i must seem stupid to you for
not wanting him to be hurt as he had hurt me... but i couldn't stand to watch
it. I know it's silly... but, i still love him even after what he did."
He stared at her, dissapointment crossing his features before plastering a
smile on.
"Hey, don't worry about it, Mi-chan! I've been through worse shit than that!
So just forget about it... i accept yer apology!"
Miaka only stared at him, slightly wide-eyed. He was being so nice about
it... he wasn't even mad at her. She smiled through the tears threatening to
overflow down her cheeks and wrapped her arms around his neck. He gasped but
was immedatly holding her, clutching the soft fabric of her robe as he took
in everything he could about her. Her smell, her warmth, her heart beating
softly against his chest... he wanted to remain in this postion forever,
just holding her contently in his arms. But of course she pulled out of his
embrace and just smiled, oblivious to his true feelings, the ones he couldn't
bring himself to say in fear of rejection.
"Arigatou."
He smiled and nodded, though the pain in his heart urging him to admit his
feelings for her was growing stronger and more unbearable as she stood so
close... close enough for him to...
He quickly came back to reality and took a step back before he did anything
he would regret.
"Uh... ya tired?"
Miaka looked back at the window and sighed.
"Iie."
'Damn! I wasn't expect'n that one... now what the hell do i do?'
Tasuki scatched his head in thought and looked up to the ceiling. A smile
tinted his lips before taking her hand and leading her out of the room.
"Wha... what are you doing?! And where are we going?"
Tasuki looked back at her and winked tauntingly.
"Girls ask too many questions!"
She smiled inwardly and blushed as they continued making their way through
the maze of halls. His hand was so warm... so tightly gripped around her own.
As much as she tried to ignore the emotion, she liked it. She liked being so
close to him and getting to see sides of him that he only showed her. She
even liked his tousled orange hair and fanged lopsided smiles. She looked
up at him from the corner of her eyes and sighed. She shouldn't be thinking
about guys right now... and what about Tamahome? But to tell the truth, she
wasn't really that sad over him anymore. Being with Tasuki was helping more
than she thought it would. They turned one last corner and stopped in front of
a large door.
"The kitchen?"
Tasuki smiled and opened the door.
"Yep. Thought ya might be hungry... you haven't ate nuttin all day."
She leaned against the counter as he began digging through the food left over
from dinner.
"Arigatou... demo, i'm not really hungry."
Tasuki smiled and picked up all the food he had gathered before turning back
to her.
"Good! More fer me!"
"Hey!" she yelled, following him as he began walking back to his room.
"Well... now that you mention it, i guess i am a little hungry..."
He smiled and handed her an orange.
"Okay then, here ya go."
She took it and looked up at him, pouting slightly.
"Tasuki! I'm hungrier than that..."
He laughed as they opened the door to his room and set the food on the floor.
"Thought ya would be... take as much as ya want."
Miaka quickly sat down next to him and took a plate full of food. He smiled
adoringly at her as she began shoving all the food possible into her mouth,
oblivious to his stare.
"Yum! That was great!"
Tasuki sighed and stared down at the now empty plates of food. She had eaten
everything, leaving him only an apple and a piece of bread. Normaly he would
have teased her, but he decided against it after seeing her happy face.
"Glad ya liked it, Miaka."
She smiled and nodded her head vigorously before throwing her arms around his
neck.
"Thank you for trying to cheer me up, Tasuki-chan."
She giggled as his face turned a light shade of pink and he coughed nervously.
"Well uh, shit, no problem baka... I... Do ya want a drink?"
She untangled her arms and smiled at his stuttering.
"Hai."
He quickly stood up and grabbed two bottles of sake, trying to force the deep
crimson blush down.
"Here."
She took the bottle and examined it carefully before drinking it. Tasuki only
laughed and began drinking as she coughed and made one of her many
adorable faces.
"Don't worry, baka, it'll grow on ya."
She looked at his face and back to the bottle before slowly bringing it back
to her mouth.
"Ya know what Tasuki-Wasuki? This stuff is kinda good..."
Miaka pointed to her third bottle of sake as she slapped Tasuki on the back.
"... but i'm gettin' a headache."
Tasuki swallowed the last drops in his bottle before turning to her.
"Issokay, Miaka-baka... i'll drink the ress fer ya!" He slurrled as he quickly
grabbed her bottle and took a drink before she tried to take it back.
"Hey! Whadda ya think yer do'n? Thas mine."
She tried to grab it, but it instead dripped down his bare chest. He slowly
turned his head to glare at her as she began laughing uncontrolably.
"Iss not that fuck'n funny, Odango."
His lips curled upward into a lopsided smile as an idea popped into his head.
He turned and pinned her to the ground with his body, the bottle poised at
her face.
"Wha... Iie-iie-iie! Gomen!" She yelled through fits of laughter.
A devious smile spread across his face as he removed his thumb from the
opening, waiting for the liquid to drop.
"It's... It's empty!" she spat out and began laughing even harder, if
possible.
His smile faded and he turned to see that his bottle was indeed, to his
dismay, empty.
"Damn! Where the fuck it all go?"
She shrugged, her laughter begining to subside.
"Oh well."
He turned back to her, tickling her stomach as tears began rolling down her
face from laughter.
"TASUKI! Stop!... I... i give up!"
He obidiently stopped as he looked at the position they were in. He was on his
knees laying over her with her small hands against his bare chest and their
faces inches apart. He shivered as her warm breath hit his lips, edging
his face even closer until his lips brushed lightly against hers. He quickly
sat up, effortlessly pulling her up with him.
"I... Gomen ne, i guess we're a little drunk... i shouldn't have done that.
I'm gonna go change. Do you want to borrow a shirt?" he said, avoiding her eyes.
She smiled up at him with a look of almost dissapointment crossing her perfect
features.
"Hai."
He walked over to his closet and pulled out a white shirt, handing it to the
girl on the floor.
"You can change in here. I'll go in the other room."
"Okay... but no peeking!" she said as she smiled and waved a finger in front
of her, ignorant to the blush staining his cheeks.
Tasuki smiled and shut the door behind him before walking into the next room.
He leaned against the door, closing his eyes as he slammed his fist against it.
"BAKA! Why can't i just tell her how i feel?! Why does she have to be so damn
different from other girls?"
He smiled and lowered his head, realizing what a stupid question that was.
"Cause that's why i love 'er..."
Miaka sighed and removed her robe, slipping the white shirt on in its place.
The shirt reached down to her knees with sleeves that fell past her hands and
its collar was about as low as the robe's. She hugged her waist, taking in
the warmth and smell. It smelled like him.
"Miaka-chan? Are you done?"
"Hai! You can come in."
Tasuki pushed open the door and held back a laugh as he looked at her assemble.
She was so cute with that huge shirt on, kinda sexy too...
"Nani?"
She pouted and crossed her arms as she stared at him. He shook his head and
closed the door behind him, still smiling broadly.
"Are you tired now?"
"Hai."
He pulled back the sheets on his bed and motioned for her to get in. She
smiled and obidently jumped in, falling asleep almost immediantly.
"Uh... Miaka?"
Tasuki smiled as he got in the bed and stared at her, watching as her breath
deepened and slowed.
'Guess it'll be my only chance...'
He nervously wrapped his arms around her, laying his head against the back of
her neck. Miaka snuggled closer against him and he stiffened, but soon relaxed
and closed his eyes, mesmorizing everything about her as he slowly drifted
into to a peaceful slumber with the only girl he had ever wanted safely in his
arms.
