Disclaimer: Wolf's Rain would NEVER belong to me. sob So sweet fun loving Hige, and Blue aren't my characters. But the maniacally Kariudo pack is mine.
A/N: I'm sorry for not updating. I'm very lazy, and sometimes I get sidetracked in other things. /Sigh/ I'm also sorry for the shortness of this chapter, but don't worry the next one would be very long.
Chapter three
She sat on the coach near the end, her eyes closed, and her lips in a tight line. An annoyed expression covered her features.
"What can't you understand when I say –no-!"
Hige kneeled before her as a servant does to his King, begging with his hands clasp together. "Please Blue…it's going to be fun, I promise."
Blue growled deeply within herself. He was so freaking stubborn. He just couldn't take no for an answer. She opened her eyes to see Hige smiling, cutely she may add, with a hopeful expression at her. His bangs fell on to his face and she oh so wanted to brush them away. She wanted to feel how soft his hair was. That was forbidden though. Blue made it forbidden. If she were to touch one bang of soft brownish hair of his, then she wouldn't want to stop touching.
Hige wanted to take her to the upcoming festival in the end of the week. Naturally she refused, but he was persistent and kept asking her. She must've said 'no' about 180 times. If she were to go then the people there will see them. She knew about small towns, and how you can't keep any thing a secret, except the wolf changing part, and she also knew they absolutely love to gossip. It seemed to be the energy that keeps them flowing. She already got enough hassle when walking on the streets of Ramus, she didn't need anymore….
"Whom is the young man living in your apartment?"
"Oh, he is such a handsome guy, neh?" as an old granny nudged her with her elbow said. Needless to say it freaked her out.
"You guys an item?"
"Are you guys doing it, yet?" Blue gave the man a hard glare that made him shut up.
If she were to go, it'll be considered a date to the eyes of the people. Blue didn't want that, at all. It was like giving more ammo to the enemy to shoot at you. Plus she was cold and heartless. And she hated Hige!
'Keep telling yourself that' her inner thoughts told her in a sarcastic way.
Her mind was against her now! She sighed once more. Rubbed her face with her hands. It seems she had no choice but to say yes. At least it'll stop Hige from nagging her. She turned to Hige, who was still kneeled before her. "Okay, I'll go, but" Blue gave Hige a sharp look, "this is NOT a date."
His eyes misted with amusement, his mouth curved, and had Blue's stomach fluttering, which irritated her to no end. "I never said it was a date, but obviously you thought it was." He wiggled his eyebrows as a suggestion. The only thing Blue could have done in situations like this is say nothing and reveal nothing. Crossing her arms, she turned to look at the blank wall, finding it more interesting than seeing Hige's amusement at the moment.
Seeing as he was dismissed Hige stood up, and stretch. She looked so cute when she was stubborn, more so when she was flushed with annoyance. Her lips set in that sexy pout whenever Hige won one of their many arguments. It was a chance to dazzle her, with a surprise midnight picnic and fireworks. He wanted Blue to enjoy herself, and at the same time court her. He wondered if he was going too fast?
"I'm going up to the roof." Blue said in a grudge, as she stood up from the couch, and headed for the door.
Hige stared at her back till she slammed her way out.
NAH!
She entered the town with enormous curiosity. She looked at the small shops, and houses. The couples that passed by, and the children playing tag. This was a new town, and a fresh beginning. She was not to mess up again. When she saw the ad in the newspaper she almost cried for joy. Here it was! A one way ticket to start anew, to leave a life that was filled with suffering, and pain. A place to prove herself as an independent woman. Not the fragile flower that the other people seemed to think she was.
She walked the pavement in a slight swagger, taking the foreign smells with supreme delight. The light breeze brushing pink strands unto her face. Tentatively she looked at the map in her hand. She changed her path to the left, and came to a stop, at an empty store. She pressed her hand against the glass, taking in the sight. The walls were rundown dirty, with dull beige wallpaper. The tiles a deep green, and papers scatter all over.
It needed work, but overall it was beautiful. In her mind she could already envision what it would look like after she was done with it. She could see the many flowers that would fill it. The colors that would pop up, while others pass by it. She closed her eyes and took a big breath. Yes she could already smell the flowers.
