Episode Three: Awkward Introductions
.::::.
Walking with the guy called Soujiro was as silent as listening to a cemetery at night. Yes, it was that dead quiet. The silence made Misao a bit nervous to be around him. For one thing, she was afraid that, instead of taking her where Yumi-san told them, he would kidnap her and lock her in a closet until she died of Loneliness. Or maybe even worse...he might...sexually harass her in the hallway!
"NOOOOOOOO!" Misao's thoughts carried her away that imagining the images in her mind freaked her out that she had to let out a somewhat loud scream.
Soujiro stopped and raised an eyebrow. He turned around to see what the girl was trying to do. He saw her with a nervous face looking at him.
Misao noticed that the boy was looking at her too and jerked her head to look away. If he does attack me, I'll attack back! I'll make him wish he was never born! She said to herself.
He turned around and said in his mind, What a weird girl...
.::::.
"Alright here we are." Soujiro said.
Misao and Soujiro stood on the backyard of the mansion. As she looked around, Misao was even more amazed than before. The garden was wide and huge with Sakura blossoms and there was a vast pond in the middle. Misao looked into it. There was gold fishes everywhre and frogs sitting on lily pads. She thought to herself, It's so pretty! ...Only a extremely rich person would have this! Man do I want his mansion or what!
Then suddenly a small, yet sort of loud sound, interrupted Misao and her bonding time with the pond. It was a sound that you would hear if you were to shoot something. She turned around and saw Soujiro, sitting on a small bench near the pond, playing a gameboy.
At first, she was surprised. Then she scowled at him. It was rude for him to be sitting there, playing his gameboy and ignoring her so she had to do something about it. She didn't want him to think that she was soft enough for him to bully her around.
"Hey you!" she said as she walked over to Soujiro and grabbed the gameboy harshly from his hand. "Well this is very rude of you!" she began to yelled, "You make me come over to meet you even though I don't give a shit about you and your family and you just ignore me once I get here?! Listen PALLY PAL," she spitted her words viciously at him, "I ain't ever going to be your fiancée now or even when I'm ninety-five years old or..." She stumbled, trying to find words to fit her mood, "...or...orrr...EVER! ALRIGHT?!"
Soujiro stared at her with a bit surprised in his face as she yelled. Right after she was done, he stood up and with a smirk in his face. "Misao-san. I never asked to marry you. You may be pretty but I don't think , weasel looking girls are my type." He said back, with the same smile, still on his face.
Misao opened her mind, not believing what he just said. The veins in her body were boiling like a volcano, needing to explode and destroy Soujiro. She thought he was going to be those kinds of guys that are nice, weak, and wimpy and she could easily beat him up but she was wrong. She was even wrong about 'weak and wimpy' when she attacked him.
"YOOOOU BAKAAAAAAA!" Misao screamed as she leaped forward to punch him in the face. Her fist was right about to touch him when she suddenly took one blink. Once she opened her eyes, no one was there. "...Huh? What?" She thought in her mind...wondering where he went. Is this guy for real?! Don't tell me he's fast enough to duck my punches within one blink.
Then she felt someone poked Misao on the back. She turned around and saw Soujiro, standing there. His face was one inch away from her face. "Misao, that's not very ladylike." He taunted her and with that smirk on his face. It made Misao angrier and wanting to punch him harder. She jumped back and charged at him.
Soujiro walked out of the way as Misao ran lightning speed towards him. He knew he didn't need to ran out of the way because he knew the girl couldn't stop charging. Misao was a yard away when Soujiro walked out of the way. And so... Misao dove head straight into the pond.
The Misao hit the water hard. It gave her a shock. The water was very cold. Good thing that she knew how to swim because if she didn't, she would have drown at the moment. The pond was extremely deep. As she swam to the top, she could see there was millions of other fishes swimming below. She jerked her head out of the water and gasped for air. The first thing she saw was Soujiro squatting down next to the pond, in front of her. He stared at her with that same smile that irritated her so much.
"Y-Y-YO...Y-YOOOU!" She tried to talk while shivering. "I C-CAN'T B-B-BELIEVE YOU D-D-DID THAT-T-T!" Misao shouted at him. A frog leaped on Misao's head. "
"Ribbit...Ribbit..."
Misao's faced turned red with such anger that could kill a person.
Soujiro didn't flinch one bit and nor did his smile faded. "Oops. It was an accident. Sorry Misao-san." He grinned. "Here...let me help you up." He had his fun and so he decided he shouldn't be that cruel to her. So he decided to help her out by holding his hand out to her. "Grab on and I'll pull you up. You won't be able to get out by yourself since the rocks might be slippery."
Misao looked at him with great hate. She was about to yell back, insulting him but an idea went into her mind...
She grinned evilly and took his hand. Then, with great force, she pulled Soujiro down with her.
The eighteen year old boy went down like a ship anchor. A huge splash appeared and Misao laughed so hard she nearly cried. Soujiro's head popped out of the pond with a bewildered look. Misao could only keep laughing. She got him back so she was satisfied.
"Misao!"
"Soujiro!"
An 'Uh Oh' suddenly went in Misao's mind. The two wet teens that was in the pond turned their heads, facing the people behind voices. It was Okina, Yumi-san, and even Shishio-san was there. Misao and Soujiro chuckled nervously at the two adults.
With hands on her hip, Yumi scolded them. "What do you kids think you're doing? I told Soujiro to show Misao the garden, but I never said to go swimming in the pond."
Okina pulled the two out of the pond as they explained. "You see Yumi-san...we had a little spar... um...Sorry Shishio-san, Yumi-san, Okina-san." Soujiro tried to explain rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment.
Misao rolled her eyes at how irritating he was. Why can't he just say the whole thing out loud and get it over with? Misao just wanted to get it over with right there and then so she could go home.
And so she interrupted Soujiro and said it out for herself. "Soujiro and I hate each other and we had a fight. Soujiro pushed me in the pond and I pushed him in too for revenge." She said bluntly.
Okina and Yumi exchanged shocked expressions to each other.
The man called Shishio smiled at Misao. Misao raised an eyebrow at the man. He was wrapped in bandages like a one of those 'mummy' things in Egypt that she heard about in school. From head to toe, it was all in bandages. Except for his eyes, mouth, and the bottom of his nose. But duh. Of course it was there so he could breathe, eat, see. She wondered even under his clothes, if he still wore bandages. "Hi...Shishio-san? If that's you." Misao wasn't exactly sure if he was Shishio but by the expensive clothes he was wearing, she wanted to make sure.
"Yeah... And you are Misao Makimachi. Okina has told us about you and your hot temper." He chuckled. Misao blushed in embarrassment. Maybe Okina said too many things about me.
"Yeah um...sorry about your pond Shishio-san. You can blame it on Soujiro." Misao said. Soujiro jerked his direction towards her. She acted like she didn't notice and smiled devishly.
Infront of strange people, Misao would have been rude straight out to them but wait Shishio-san, Misao acted more well-mannered. It was because Misao felt that she shouldn't act rude towards the man. She felt like he was an important person that needed to be respecte. As for Soujiro...she didn't give a shit.
"You say that you two hate each other, is that right?" Shishio asked him.
Soujiro and Misao looked at each other and then looked back, nodding.
Shishio's eyes narrowed and smirk. "Well then, you'll just have to not hate each other. Then the problem is solved."
Misao and Soujiro exchanged looks. Not angry looks. Not friendly looks. Looks that looked like they were enemies. Although it may not look like it, but they're really thinking that in their minds. How could they not hate each other when they feel like their soul purpose in life was to kill one another. Maybe even rip out their hearts and feed the remains to lions if they're lucky.
.::::.
Misao laid her head onto the car window as she gazed outside. Her visit to Shishio's place was over and she was happy and very relieved. Although the part where she pulled Soujiro in to the pond was funny, she still didn't like the whole thing. She got soaking wet by the idiot. No way was she marrying him. No way. The only nice thing was Yumi-san gave her a pair of clothes for Misao since her own clothes were wet. Misao didn't know how or why Yumi had a pair of Chinese button up shirts for girls when there was only her, a grown woman, Shishio, a grown man, and Soujiro, a boy. The clothes were real nice though. It was made out of silk and it made Misao felt very comfortable. It's the good thing knowing rich people. They give you cool stuff for free.
"Listen Misao. Since Soujiro have moved here, he will be attending your school. He starts tomorrow. Just to imform you." Okina said from the driver seat. Okon and Omasu was asleep in the car therefore, it was only Misao and Okina listening and talking.
Hearing that the guy was going to attend her school, made her groan. "Arrrgggh. But whhhy. I told you, I don't like him." Misao complained. "He might as well go back where he came from because I'm not marrying him."
Okina looked at Misao from the front mirror of the car. "You guys are strangers which makes you guys hate each other. As time past, you guys will grow to know each other, you'll see that you will take those 'I hate him' words back."
Misao scoffed. "Yeah right." She said sarcastically.
Her grandpa just ignored what she said and continued on. "When he goes to your school, I want you to show him around and hang out with him. Don't give him a hard time or you will have to deal with me."
Misao grumbled softly to herself. "I'll make his life a living hell if he talks to me."
.::::.
Soujiro sat in his room with a towel over his head. It was shortly that Misao left that Soujiro went and took a shower just in case the water in the pond wasn't clean. He changed his wet clothes into normal, non-causal clothes.
Then Yumi entered the door. Soujiro greeted her smiling. "Hello Yumi-san."
"Hello. Just to remind you-" She started but interrupted by Soujiro.
"I know. I know. I'm going to Makimachi-san's school tomorrow." He said.
Yumi smiled and replied back. "Good. Misao will show you around so you won't have a hard time there or get lost around the new building."
Soujiro smiled at her and then looked away. Yumi knew something was wrong with Soujiro.
"Soujiro..." She looked at him with a worried look. She knew he wasn't used to these things. "You'll get used to things. Marrying Misao isn't such a bad thing." She tried to reason with him. It was silence between them for a couple seconds.
Soujiro then turned to face Yumi, stilling smiling. "I'm sorry Yumi-san. I didn't mean to look like I was complaining to you or anything. Shishio-san set this up for me because he knows what's best for me so I will do it."
Hearing that made Yumi smile. "That's good to hear Soujiro. I should be going. I have things to do." Then she left out the door before anyone could say anything.
The smile didn't leave Soujiro face but you could tell he wasn't happy. He sighed.
.::::.
"Heeeey! Misao! What's up?" A cheerful Kaoru stood at the door step, greeting Misao as she walked out of her home.
""Hi Kaoru!" Misao was in her cheerful mood today.
The two started to walk to school. They wore their school uniform. It was near summer and so they wore their summer uniforms. It was dark blue and white sailor top and skirt. Kaoru was too curious so she had to ask. "So Misao, what happened yesterday? Tell me about it!"
Misao raised an eyebrow and looked at her friend. "Man, I was trying to forgot about it Kaoru. Thanks for the reminder."
Kaoru looked at her with a surprised face. "Was it that bad?"
Weasel girl nodded. "Terrible."
"Well, come on! Tell me about it!" Kaoru asked anxiously.
Misao really didn't want to talk about it. But she wanted Kaoru to know so her friend won't be confused and such when these things comes up. And so she explained the whole thing to her friend. The part about Okon and Omasu tying her up and dressing her. The part about the mansion. And even the part about Soujiro and her falling in the pond.
Kaoru walked with shock expressions. "Wow...so the guy doesn't like you either?"
"It doesn't matter to me. I hate him more than he hates me. The bad thing is that he's coming to our school. Which means I have to see him everyday!" Misao said with drear.
"That's great! Then I get to see what he looks like!" Kaoru grinned. "Is he hot?"
Misao jerked her head. Her face was blushing. "Kaoru! You have Kenshin! You can't be asking if this guy's hot or not!" She yelled.
Kaoru laughed right out loud. "You first insulted the guy and now you're acting like you're jealous? Misao, you really do like this guy but you don't admit it!" She teased her friend.
"WHAAAAAAAT?! No way! Never in a century!" Misao yelled back.
Kaoru grinned. Then she asked, "You still haven't told me his name. What is it?"
"Huh? Oh, it's Soujiro." Misao said.
Kaoru blinked a few times. The name was awfully familiar. She tried to remember it. Ah! The boy at Oro! Ice Cream! Is it the same guy? She was about to asked Misao when...
"Hey." A boy's voice appeared out of no where.
Misao felt a somewhat hard thing smacked lightly on her head. She turned around. To her horror, it was Soujiro. He was wearing the schools uniform like Misao and Kaoru did. But he was wearing the male summer uniform which was a short sleeve plaid shirt since it was summer and black pants. He was carrying a student's briefcase to carry his school stuff.
"Grrrr, what are you doing here?" Misao said with a frown on her face.
Soujiro smiled. "Walking to school with you Misao. You are after all my wife." He teased her.
