~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the school day was over we walked home in silence. All day had been horrible!! All the girls drooled over him and gave him small flirty smiles all over the day. Even the FEMALE teachers!! All the guys gave me weird looks and….ugh!
Now in silence I started thinking this over…What if he wasn't a cartoon? What if he was just some kid that overheard me and decided to make a joke on me? But then again, if he was an ordinary kid he wouldn't have been able to manage Miss Munroe so well…I looked towards him and stare for a few seconds. He also wouldn't have his good looks.
When we were about to reach my house he stopped abruptly and took a gentle hold of my arm. I stopped and turned to look at him.
"Who do you live with?" He asked while looking at me with a questioning look.
"My…mother" I said, my tone of voice full of curiosity. He smiled and let go of my arm, only to wrap his arm around my waist. I blushed a light shade of red before clearing my throat. "Um, why do you ask?"
"To see if I'll have any problem staying there" He said guiding me up the front steps. He stopped and looked at me "Is she home now?"
I shook my head gently "No…she comes home until midnight, that's when her job turn is over" He smiled again and opened the door for me to go in. I walked in and than looked over my shoulder as he looked it. I didn't trust men at all, less being in a room with them alone. But him…I trusted him with my life. He turned and smiled at me.
"Are you hungry?" He asked while making his way to me. I gave a gentle nod.
"Yeah…" He smiled again and reached me.
"Where is your kitchen?" I blinked and than motioned him to follow. I took the hall and than opened the door that led to the kitchen. He waited until I had walked in and than he followed. He looked around with a smile on his face.
"Lovely…" he said and made his way to the fridge. When he reached it he turned towards me and smiled. "Would it be all right if I cooked something for you?"
That was it. My brain was complete mush. "C-cook f-for me?" I asked, sounding like a complete dork. He looked at me and smiled softly.
"Why yes, I am quite certain you have never tasted rice balls…or sushi for that matter, am I correct?"
I gave a small nod. I have gone to Chinese restaurants but I've never eaten rice balls. "But only on one condition" I said giving a small grin.
He looked towards me with a half amused and half surprised look. "What is that?"
"That you let me help you cook" I said with a small wink. He let out a laugh and motioned me to step closer.
"So you shall"
"No way!" I said and than let out a small giggle. We were done cooking rice balls and sushi, and Kurama was the best of cooks. He looked at me once he was done laughing.
"Yes way, Kuwabara couldn't walk over a week because of that" He said and burst out laughing again. I giggled and stood up, picking the dirty plates and carrying them to the sink. He half turned and looked at me as I reached the sink.
"Tell me…why did you wish for me to become alive"
That caught me by surprise. I mean I knew he would wonder, but I had hoped he wouldn't ask. I started washing the dishes while looking for a good excuse. "umm… why do you want to know?"
He gave a small grin and looked me up and down. "Well…if you were in my position, wouldn't you want to know why you had been called for?"
He was right absolutely right.
"Is it because you hated me and wanted to see me in person to kick my butt?"
I giggled and shook my head. Out of the corner of my I saw him stand up. In less than a second he was behind me with his arms wrapped around my waist.
"Or is it because you are madly in love with me?" He whispered gently in my ear. I put the plates, now clean, to dry and swallowed. My heart was beating fast and I knew I was blushing since I could feel the heat on my face. He rested his chin gently in my shoulder and tightened his grip around me a bit more. I took a deep breath and inhaled the sweet scent of roses…so it was true, he did smell like roses.
I relaxed a bit and I could feel a knot on my throat. This was too good to be real. He looked at me and smiled.
"So was it that?" he whispered in my ear again.
I nodded and than felt a tear slide down my cheek. His green eyes widened at this, and I could tell he was surprised. And before I could help my self I broke down into a fit of sobs.
***Dun, Dun , dun…..KURAMA'S POV!!!***
I looked down at the sobbing girl. This was…different. I turned her around gently so she could rest her head on my chest. Once that was set I picked her up gently and took her up the stairs. She was crying, ever so silently against my chest I thought I felt my heart ache. She was so…sweet and innocent. Unlike anything I've ever saw before.
I opened the door to the first room and smiled, I had guessed right, this was definitely her room. I laid her down on the soft bed as she kept crying in silence. I kneel down in front of her and brushed the hair off her wet eyes. She was so pretty…she wasn't beautiful, but pretty in a cute sort of way.
I could have asked for love right there…she would of given it too me, I know that. But something kept me from doing it. Something kept me from taking the innocence away from her. Instead I turned off the lights and laid next to her. And like that…with my arms around her, we slept until morning.
