The door opened and Kento was on the phone, he did not look at all surprised to see her, motioned for her to come in and shut the door. He was wearing a sleeveless shirt, had a towel draped around his shoulders, and had obviously been sweating. He told her he would be off the phone in a minute and asked her to have a seat. Lita was too nervous, she walked a few steps into the living room and stood there looking around the place as if she had not seen it before. She heard Kento hang up the phone and toss it on the couch, he wiped his face and approached her.
"What's up?" He asked rather casually.
Lita fooled around with her purse strap for a moment then started to speak.
"Kento, I…" She dropped her shoulders and let out a sigh, "I'm sorry about last night, I really am. I was out of line."
Kento's did not look at her very forgivingly.
"Lita, what were you doing!" He said sternly. "Getting hammered like that, you looked like an idiot."
"Listen I said I was sorry. It was stupid I know, I feel terrible."
"Yeah, I'm sure you do!"
Kento was looking quite angry he crossed his arms and turned away from her. Lita suddenly noticed gashes on his arms and on the side of his head. There was silence between them for a moment when she began again.
"Kento, what…what happened to…" Before she could finish he turned back towards her again.
"Yeah!"
She decided it was best not to ask and went on.
"You don't have to get so angry." She said, her temper beginning to rise with his impatience.
"Why not? You got drunk, ran off my date, and…" He did not finish but let out a huff of breath like a bull before it charges.
Lita did not feel like taking much more of this, her apologetic manner had disappeared by now.
"What the heck were to doing taking a girl to a bar anyway! What kind of a date is that?"
"Well you seemed to like the place!" He shot back.
"You hard headed oaf! Why can't you accept an apology!"
"I'll tell ya if I see one!"
"Oh, real clever Kento! I'm outta here!"
Kento stood like a statue, his arms still crossed as Lita stomped towards the door and slammed it on her way out. Kento picked up a lead paper weight sitting on his coffee table and threw it at a closet door, breaking a hole clean through it. He hit the floor and started doing push ups as fast as he could, it was his therapy, how he calmed himself down. He was at it for a while when he stopped and there sat on the floor in a sweat, resting his arms on his leg. He wiped his arm across his forehead and noticed there was blood on it. He scowled and went into the kitchen and began to wash the gashes on his head and arm which had started bleeding again. There was a knock at the door and he dried himself off and went to answer it.
"Hey Kento!" He was greeted by Ryo who seemed in as good a mood as ever.
"Hi Ryo." He said solemnly as he stepped out of the way to let Ryo in.
"Something wrong Kento?" Ryo asked.
"Nah, I'm fine." He lied and started walking back towards the kitchen. Ryo looked at the closet door.
"Was Lita just here?"
Kento stopped with his back towards Ryo.
"Yeah, what about it?"
"I saw her on my way here, she looked pretty mad, and sick if you ask me. What happened?"
"What does it matter to you?" Kento was still in a mood, it usually took him a while to cool down.
"What was she over here for?"
"She came to apologize."
"For what happened last night?"
Kento sighed heavily. "What does everyone know about that!"
"Yeah. I'm just glad she's doing alright." Ryo paused for a moment. "They got you good huh?" He said looking at Kento's arm.
Kento placed his hand over his arm.
"Yeah, pretty good." He was starting to calm down and look a little tired.
"I would have thought you'd be sleeping after staying up all night."
"How did you know…ah, forget it. I just didn't feel like sleeping that's all. I suppose everyone knows what happened except her."
"What, you didn't tell her?"
Kento got defensive.
"Why should I tell her? I don't want to scar her for life, as far as she knows she made it home alright what's wrong with that?"
"Oh and I guess she figured you got those from ice skating?" Ryo said pointing to Kento's gashes.
"She didn't ask." He said.
"Kento," Ryo said getting up. "I don't know what your deal is man, but she's going to find out either way. I'll see you around."
Ryo left and Kento went back to his push ups.
