Water Lily - 'Pure of heart' - Kisa x Hiro x Megumi
--
There's this one route where we come home from school everyday. There aren't alot of families with kids there, I can tell because it's always quiet everytime Kisa and I walk by. Usually, you would expect children to be playing games in the middle of the road, and it would be really lively and all there. Parents scolding their kids and all sorts of stuff.
Kisa doesn't notice these things-- she's always wondering about her 'sissy'. I used to get really angry when she did that. But she always talks about her with a smile on her face, so I don't have the heart to stop her.
It doesn't stop me from insulting her 'sissy' though. She hates it when I do that, but she also knows that I never mean a word I say about that brainless girl. Well, most of it.
Well, this one time we were going to take the subway to go find her 'sissy', and we passed by that neighborhood again.
And I saw him.
He had black hair, normal, since most people here are Japanese, but there was something about that particular shade that made me look again. Maybe it was the way it almost danced across his dark eyes, or the way he held himself-- he didn't look the age he was. And he reminded me of someone.
"He's pretty."
I remember those words very well, they were said by the tigress who is currently sitting beside me, doing homework. I remembered my reaction upon hearing it, and I swore colorfully.
Haru raised his eyebrows at me, but I only glared in return.
The second time I saw him, I was walking home by myself. Kisa had been on a field trip that day, and I missed her company. I blush thinking about it sometimes, because she does that to me. It was one of the reasons I kept her away from Akito, ever since that one time...
But he was there again, sitting on the steps to his complex. He looked bored, and the way his eyes stared at the street made me think that maybe, he could see things that weren't there.
"I can." he said, without looking at me. Pausing, I could only try and and with hold a look of pure shock.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I demanded, calm as usual. He didn't even bother to look at me when he replied.
"Nothing at all."
I'll... admit it. When I got home and stared a hole into the wall, I thought he looked...
... pretty.
