Chapter 15

Mending Doors, Walls, Floors, And Love

Last time on The Curse I Never Had -Midori and Haru got lost, found their way out, and now Miroto and Kagura have destroyed the house. Yay, nowMidori can put her powers to the test!
Well, my bribing myself has been working well. I'm writing a lot and doing my homework, reading a book, and keeping up with TV. I am so multitasking, but it's for you and me. So...it's worth it.
STANDARD DISCLAIMERS APPLY!(when have they not?)
Midori's POV (don't worry, I haven't forgotten!)
Well, I ended up spending the whole evening fixing the house while Tohru made dinner, Yuki gardened, Kyo bandaged Miroto and Kagura, andSensei was writing so that tomorrow, Mitchan wouldn't kill him. She was going to come over, but when we told her that the house had been destroyed...well, she decided against it. She'd come over on Saturday. She needed to see some of my latest works of writing as well as Sensei's.

It took me 10 minutes to fix each wall, 5 minutes per door, and 30 minutes for each room's floor. Luckily, my room and the basement were unharmed. That was about as rewarding as it was going to get. Well, apart from Tohru's wonderful cooking, that is.

Senseidecided that Kagura should go home to save his home. He also had Miroto help me by having her pick up the things that went flying far from the house. She also had to get a small, tiny fire going for Tohru to cook since I was still working on fixing the kitchen. Even with magic, it was a hard and tiring task for me.

By the time I was almost done, I was exhausted but found the strength to eat. After I was done, I slowly walked to my room. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out like a light.
In the morning, Yuki had to wake me up because I had been too tired to get up early. I got up with much effort. It took me 10 minutes to be awake enough to go up the stairs and eat.

Eating woke me up a little and then I had to go back down the stairs to get ready for school. I just hoped that I'd be awake enough by the end of the day to deal with Mitchan. Just great.

At school, I had to follow Haru-chan because if I didn't, I would probably have walked right into walls. That was probably worse than bumping into people...if you ask me that is...
At the end of the day, Haru walked me home since everybody had things they needed to do. Tohru had to go to work, Kyo left early to escape Kagura, and Yuki had a student council meeting. Haru had already called Ha'ri, so there was no saying no.

"How bad could the house have been to make you this tired?" questioned Haru.

"Well, magic takes a lot of energy, and I didn't even completely finish. If I had, I would've transformed. I still have to deal with Mitchan when we get to the house," I said drowsily. Then I had to cover a yawn.

We weren't even half-way there and I was about to drop to the ground to sleep. I think that Haru-chan noticed this because he said, "How about I carry you on my back? You look too tired to even stand, let alone walk."

"Okay..." I said sleepily. He gave me a slow piggy-back-ride (although he's a cow) back to Sensei's house while I slept with my head on his shoulder. He went slow enough to where he wouldn't jolt me awake.

Haru's POV (Haa! Weren't expecting that, now were you?)
When I got to Sensei's, I took Midori down to her room and put her on her bed. When I went back up the stairs, I met Sensei being tantalized by Mitchan.

He stopped just long enough to say, "So, Haru-kun, wasMidori-chan really so tired that you had to carry her on your back?" he said hiding a snicker.

"I offered it to her because she could barely stand, let alone walk. I think that she just wants to sleep right now," I retorted as politely as I could.

"SHI-GU-RE!" Mitchan yelled.

"Mitchan, please keep it down. Midori-chan is sleeping," whispered Sensei.

"She is?"Mitchan asked sobbing.

"Yes, she had to fix the house yesterday...long story," explained Sensei.

"If it's that long, write it down!" she barked at him.

I could clearly see behind his back that he had his manuscript. He was just teasing Mitchan, as usual. I took it from him without much struggle and gave it to Mitchan. She rejoiced and said that she'd come back tomorrow to see Midori.

I figured that I'd spend the night at Sensei's to keep watch on Midori.

After eating dinner, I went downstairs. I waited in her room, just in case she woke up.

I began to think about her more and more. She's just so beautiful. Even if Rin is mentioned by her every now and then. She always knows what to say. I love this girl, I thought dreamily.

After my day-dreaming (night-dreaming with out the sleep)Midori woke up.

"I'm thristy...I'll go get some orange juice," she said to herself, not even realizing that I was there. Maybe it was because she couldn't see in the dark.

"I'll get it for you," I offered.

"Huh? Oh, Haru-chan! I didn't see you there! I'm so sorry!"

"That's okay. I'll be right back." And off I went to explore the kitchen.

I found a glass and then the juice. I poured it and thenretraced my steps to get back downstairs.

"Here," I said handing her the glass.

"Thank you," she said in her sweet little voice. I'd grown to love that voice so much.

As she sat there drinking, I noticed how graceful she was.

When she was done, I took her glass and went back to the kitchen. I came back down in the same manner and then went to her room.

By now she was so wide awake that she couldn't go back to sleep, so we talked for a while. What I was hoping for was that kiss that I didn't get earlier in the woods. My hopes were being realized.

"Haru?" she asked.

"Yes," I replied.

"In the woods earlier...that was a nice thing to say, but it sounded like something Kyo-kun told Tohru-chan once...about his true form," she reasoned.

"Oh, well, thanks. I guess."

"Oh, and thank you for carrying me home. That was sweet," she said gently. My urge was growing.

"You're welcome," I replied.

"And for all of those nice things, you deserve a reward. Something I know that you want," she gestured, leaning closer.

I could take a hint and out lips touched. We held each other and through all of this, I completely forgot about Rin, about everything except Midori. She was my love, my life. We were meant to be.

Aww! How sweet! You wanted kissing and I delivered. You'll all be happy with my next few chapters...I think. Although I have a strange feeling that they won't be all that happy...ironic, huh?

Sanrio-chan love you!
