That night, Hitomi went to a park to report to Glühen. She wrote in her
palmtop: "Hitomi reporting. First day at work with Weiß as florists. Bought
lunch with Abyssinian. Asked about my background. Question was ignored. End
of report." To her surprise, she got a reply form Crawford.
"Beware of Abyssinian. Try to spend less time or avoid direct contact with him."
"I will keep your advice in mind." Hitomi replied. She sighed and switched her palmtop off.
"I wonder what's so wrong with Aya besides the fact that he is suspicious of people easily and he doesn't really like girls.. He looks like a nice guy anyway." Hitomi wondered back home. On her way, she felt something brush at her legs. "Hmm?" She looked down. She saw an adorable tabby kitten looking up at her. "Aw. Why, are you hungry?" She picked the kitten up and held it in her arms. It purred and licked her fingers. "I guess you are. I'll bring you home and give you some food. But you have to keep quiet. I'm not sure if Aya allows pets at home." She put the kitten into her jacket and went home.
"Tadaima!" she said when she reached home.
"How was your breath of fresh air?" Ken greeted.
"Great" Hitomi replied.
"Okaiiri!" Omi greeted.
"I'll be in my room. Anything you want to see me about, knock first please." Hitomi went into her room after taking a plate of crackers and a glass of water with her.
"Here you go. Enjoy!" She poured the water onto the empty plate for the kitten. It purred at her and licked the water happily. Hitomi smiled. "I'll go take a bath now, so you stay here, okay?" Hitomi grabbed her towel and clothes and went to the bathroom.
Someone was in the bath when Hitomi reached its door. She stood outside the door and waited. A moment later, the bathroom door opened. Hitomi saw a topless Yohji emerge from the bath. Hitomi blushed hot red and immediately looked away. She then dashed straight into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. "Boy, it's hard to try to remember that you're acting as a guy." She thought and undressed to take her bath. She turned on the shower and let the warm water run through her body. "Ah. Nothing but a nice warm bath to complete my day." Hitomi relaxed. Suddenly, a faint knock came on the bathroom door.
"It's me, Yohji. I forgot to take something. Mind if I come in?"
"Er.. N-No! Don't come in! Where did you leave it? I'll get it for you!" Hitomi started to panic and frantically looked around. (Okay, yes, I know! Lock the door when taking a bath! Haha. Well. *Shrugs* Makes things exciting, right? The suspense. Haha. Come on. You think guys have the courtesy to let their fellow mates have some 'privacy'? Stop kidding yourself. Haha. Okay, no flaming me for this part! And you may continue reading my fic. Sorry for the interruption.)
"Oh, come on. We're all guys! There's nothing to be embarrassed about! I'm coming in!" Yohji said. Hitomi dashed to lock the door, but too late. Yohji opened the door and went into the bathroom, smiling. Then, his smile changed to utter disbelief.
"Wh-What?" He stared. Hitomi was unsure whether she should scream or slap Yohji on the face amid hot blushes. "M-M-My shades are on the sink here." Yohji stuttered and grabbed his shades. Hitomi slammed the door behind him. In total shock, she took a quick shower and put on her clothes before dashing straight to her room. She then closed the door behind her and plopped on her bed. The kitten was done with his water and cuddled beside Hitomi.
"You have no idea what happened." She said to the purring one. Just then, a familiar faint knock came onto her door.
"Who is it?"
"M-Me. Yohji. I. I. I want to talk you about just now." Yohji said in a very private voice.
"Come in." Hitomi said.
"Erm. I'd like to ask you something." A light blush appeared on Yohji's face as he entered the room and sat down beside the bed. The kitten suddenly popped out from the covers and jumped straight at Yohji.
"Whoa! What the-?" Yohji caught the kitten in his hands.
"Oh! I told you to stay put! Now you gave Yohji a scare!" Hitomi scolded.
"It's okay. I think he likes me." Yohji smiled as the kitten licked Yohji's nose. Hitomi smiled. Their eyes met. Hitomi blushed and quickly looked away.
"Um. Yes. About what I wanted to ask. What I saw in there just now. I mean, are you a girl?" Yohji blushed lightly again and stroked the kitten.
"Yes. I'm a girl." Hitomi sighed.
"So - What I saw just now - was real?" Yohji asked again.
"Yes. It was." Hitomi said.
"Why do you dress up as a boy?"
"Because. Because Weiß is an all guy assassin group and I might not be accepted as a girl." Hitomi said.
"That's silly! I mean, how do you know if you haven't tried?" Yohji exclaimed. (Right. Coming from Yohji. Well, I'm the boss, and I like it twisted. Okay, I'll stop being mean. ^_^)
"Furthermore, I heard that Yohji Kudou from Weiß is such a flirt and I might want to stay away from him." Hitomi joked.
"Oh, really? Then - " Yohji was interrupted by an urgent knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Hitomi asked instinctively.
"Ken. Persian has an urgent mission for us." Ken said from the door. Hitomi and Yohji rushed together with Ken to the meeting room.
"Beware of Abyssinian. Try to spend less time or avoid direct contact with him."
"I will keep your advice in mind." Hitomi replied. She sighed and switched her palmtop off.
