Ch4 Flowers to the Winner -
My eye started to twitch without control. What was I supposed to do? I had never expected to get caught with a crime at this party.
"So, am I to guess from your silence that your stunned with a possible confusion?" He arched an eyebrow, and a sharp guilt pressed against my stomache making it do flips.
"Confused...yes. Stunned, yes. How did you know I was behind this tree? You said you didn't hear anything..." I started to feel a little confident, but that was all drained with his reply.
"That was merely to protect you from Hiei's blade. Actually, before he mentioned you, I saw a shadow bolt for cover." He looked at me as if he had just asked me how my day was going, not like I had committed a crime. That really made me nervous, and as for my day, it just turned cruddy.
"Oh...hrm...thanks? I mean for...protecting me? I mean, you don't have a blade on you do you?" I couldn't help but feel stupid when he lost a short laugh at my question.
"No, I don't even own a blade. Hiei however, carries one wherever he goes. I just didn't want him to startle and,...,words carefully choosen, get carried away." He still looked like he was waiting for a reply to the "how was my day" question.
"Oh, well, thank you then." I found myself blushing, and couldn't find anything else to say, but like an Angel would do, she arrived just in time.
"Riku!...Suichii? I found you!" Her smile and confidence was confused, and she wasn't afraid to find the answer to what she was looking for.
"So,what are you two doing out here all alone where no one can see you?" She put a hard edge to her voice, directing it at me. I just knew I was going to get interregated when I got home.
"I was walking out here and happened to stumble upon...Riku. We were talking, mainly about you." He finished smugly, knowing he had won her over when he said that. I thanked the Lord above that he was so good with memory. I smiled akwardly, and nodded my head. Sicune wasn't even paying attention to me though.
"So Suichii, ya'll talked about me? Your so cute!" She gave an infatuated giggle and took him by the hand over to the original walk-way. I sighed, and made my way to the car to wait for her. I didn't know that it would take her so long.

I felt something cold slide down my back...it felt oddly like an ice cube.
"EPP!"
I sprung up from the comfort of my bed, to be met by Sicune's happy face. I growled angrily. I think I was having a dream.
"You were dreaming, and you sure looked happy. Couldn't of been dreaming about Suichii, could 'ya have been?"
"No." I replied firmly. I wasn't sure if I actually had or not, but I knew if I had answered otherwise, I never would have been left alone. I curiously glanced at the clock...5:00 a.m. My eyes grew wide.
"You IDIOT! You woke me up this early!" I screeched. Tomorrow I had to go to work at my little flower shop...only ten more minutes before Sicune just now woke me up.
"Sorry...I was bored." She said without an ounce of guilt.
I sighed. Then I sighed again.
"Time to start another day..." I mumbled.
I quickly got dressed, and pursued the kitchen. I popped some cookies in my mouth and continued to the couch to catch some T.V.
I was stopped short of my goal.
RING...RING...RING...RING.
I took the cookies out of my mouth, and answered the phone.
"Hello, Gowai residence, your speaking to Riku."
"Yes, I'm calling about your flower shop."
'It couldn't be...' Was the only thing that plastured my thoughts.
