Chapter 6(ii)
Chika paced about her bedroom. It was the weekends and she had been staring at her phone for the past 2 hours, she did not notice how much time has passed until she looked at her watch. The more time passes by, the angrier and spiteful she grew inside. With every second passed, her anger grew tenfold imagining Kyou spending romantic moments with Tohru.
Tohru…
She clenched her hands into a fist hard. Gritting her teeth, she let her mind wander further. They're roommates. Roommates. Meaning they get to see each other every day, every hour, every minute, every second. Chika felt jealousy in her and made a face. That sucked.
Suddenly, she had a plan to get the man she wanted and the girl he wanted out of his life and into hers. She smiled contently and plopped down on her bed. But that had to wait.
Yes, of course… indeed… She smiled even more as she worked on her plan, seemingly becoming more realistic.
On Monday, Chika had taken leave for the day and stopped her car at the side of Rein Street, she had purposely emptied the contents in the battery container such that the car would not start. She was wearing her office suit as if she needed to go to work. She had Kyou's house number and knowing Kyou would be at work, she called his house, taking a bet. "Hello? Honda Tohru speaking." Chika's adrenaline pumped. Her. Of all the things she would do, she would never talk to her enemies, yet here she was… about to talk to her.
She managed a smile through her voice, "Hello? This is Kazemura Chika speaking,"
"Oh, um, how may I –"
"Shut up and listen up," She paused. When Tohru did not answer, Chika smiled. What an obedient girl…She continued, "Kyou and I had been together for the past –" She paused, recalling what Kyou had said about his so-called father's death, deciding to take a gamble, she quickly put in, "2 years now and he has just proposed to me, now it's not very nice to break the news to you from him, so I figured I do the job of telling this to you so you'll stop pestering him,"
Tohru did not reply. "Hello? Are you listening?" Chika asked just to check. But there was none. However, she could hear the heavy breathings of Tohru over the phone. She smiled, knowing she's listening. "If you don't believe me, Tohru, you can come to Rein Street, he's going to meet me now, so you could start coming, maybe you could catch us in time and give up, I've let you had 2 years of happiness with him so you can't say that I was being unreasonable," She hung up without letting Tohru answer.
Tohru sat back in her couch, tracing back what the girl on the other line had said. Breathing in and out deeply, her heart racing thousand miles an hour, Chika was it? She thought. She closed her eyes, retracing 2 years back, where exactly did it go wrong? Was it because of Kazuma's death? That was when he suddenly became cold and distant from me… was it because he met… someone else…? But why would he still stick to me after 2 whole years? Why now? Why…
While Tohru was thinking, Chika had the time to call Kyou by his cell phone. "Kyou!" She pinched her nose and said, as if breathless and had just cried. Kyou, sensing a change in Chika's voice, perked up, "Wh… What's wrong? What happened?"
"My car won't stop and I have to rush back to the office and none of my friends wanted to give me a ride… I am so dead…" Chika said. Kyou's heart fluttered, hesitating whether to go or not, he had no lessons for now and won't have any until in the evening. Yet if he were to go, he was afraid…… afraid? Afraid of what? Kyou did not dare answer that question, as if on cue, Chika let out a sob and that, had basically summed up what he was about to do.
He was going. He can't possibly leave a damsel in distress alone. Can't… possibly…

Hey there! I'm really really sorry for the lack of speedy updates like in the past but I had been really busy. So forgive me!! I had a lot of tests last and this week but now that it's over, I could possibly update faster. But I'd still need to study for my upcoming common tests... very different from the small mini tests i've been taking, but oh well, I digress. -rolls eyes- =P
Well, at this rate, i think i'm rounding up the whole story in another couple chapters... i think. But most probably, if i'm talking about a couple, i'm talking huge lengthy -not to mention, wordy- chapters. But well, you know, I can't stand reading or much less, writing lengthy chapters... so i'll just stick to my usual breaking down parts of chapters. hee.
Well, here I end my chapter 6. Hope you like it!!!
