Chapter 7: Regular Day
The next morning Elena woke up and saw that Tsume wasn't with her. She got up and began to get ready to go to work. She couldn't help but wonder what happen to Tsume so she looked in his room and sure enough he was in his bed asleep. She smiled and kissed him.
"Sissy!" Chichi had screamed from downstairs.
"Sissy!" She screamed again.
"Shh, Tsume and the others are still asleep." Elena whispered as she meets her little sister at the foot of the stairs.
Chichi just gave Elena an 'I don't care' look and continued. "I just wanted to tell you that Kina called and her mom will give me a ride to school and back today."
"Oh, ok. Is she here already?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Well have a good day. Bye, love you."
"Ok I will. Love you too." Chichi got into the car and sat next to Kina.
"So did you talk to Elena?" Kina asked.
"No, but I talked to Hige."
"So what did he say?"
"He just told me to tell Tsume how I feel."
"Well are you?"
"No, I want to have little to do with him."
"Ok. Well I think you should."
Chichi just stared at her friend.
Later that day Elena was in her office working when Lin came in.
"Ok chicky. You have a lunch meeting at 12:30 today. Another meeting at 2:00 and here is some more paper work that needs to be done by . . . " Lin began to flip threw the papers. "12:00"
She then slammed down the paper work on Elena's desk.
Elena jumped and looked at her. "What?"
"Did you hear me?"
"Yea, I heard you?"
Lin then smiled and ran over and scooted Elena over and sat down. "So how was the fair?"
"It was fun."
"So, did you and Tsume go into the tunnel of love?"
"Yea, after I had to drag him."
"Drag him?"
"Yea, he didn't like the idea of flying naked guys in diapers."
They laughed. "Yea I could see why. It is kind of scary if you think about it. Fat guys wearing diapers trying to shoot you with a bow and arrow."
"That would be an interesting movie."
"What?"
"You know have this rapper that goes around rapping collage girls and then kills them by stabbing the victims in their hearts with a heart-shaped arrow."
"Girl, I think you pick the wrong profession."
"What do you mean?"
"You should have been a play write." The girls laughed. Then Lin got up and said. "So did you invite him to the banquet?"
"Yes. I did."
"Shopping trip?"
"Of course, but Chichi is riding home with a friend so she's going to be a little late."
"Does she know that she's coming?"
"No, I thought it would be a good surprise. After all you do know how much she loves to shop."
"Yea, that kid can max of a credit card. Well you have a lot to do so talk to you later." Lin had just shut the door when Elena looked at the pile of paper work sitting on her desk.
"Hell no! I can't get all this done by 12:00! Lin!" She open the door and saw Lin running down the hall. "Get back here! I do not have time for this!"
After a long day of paper work and meetings Elena and Lin arrived at Elena's place.
"Is Chichi home?" Elena asked Hige.
Hige and Kiba were in the livingroom watching T.V.. "No, not yet." At that time he looked up and saw Lin. "What happen to you?" He asked Lin.
She rubbed her hand over her know swollen lip. "I gave Elena paper work that I should have given her four days ago."
Hige and Kiba laughed. "So did you get it done?" Hige asked Elena.
"Lin did." Elena said lifting her eyebrow at Lin. Everyone laughed.
"Ha ha very funny. Oh my. Did you know about that left hook?"
"I did! I got beaten by her so many times. Thats why I'm gone all the time." Kiba and Lin smiled.
"Hige, you better keep shut before I left hook you too."
"Yes ma'am." Everyone laughed.
"So what's so funny?" Toboe asked. He and Tsume just came in from being out side.
"We are just laughing about Elena beating up Lin for giving her late paper work." Hige said.
Elena and Tsume looked at each other and smiled.
"So did you two have a good day?" Tsume asked, not taking his eyes off of Elena.
Elena smiled more and said. "It was interesting."
"Oh come on! Just kiss already. Your making me sick." Lin said jokingly. She then pushed Elena into Tsume. He caught her and rapped his arms around her.
"Oh wait one second. It's creepy enough knowing that they kiss but see it. I'm out." Hige said as he started to get up.
Just as Elena and Tsume began to kiss Elena heard a door slam.
"Thats Chichi, ready to go Lin?"
"Yea."
"Where are you going?" Tsume asked.
"We are going to go shopping for my dress for tomorrow."
"You are going to one of the anniversary banquets, Tsume?" Hige asked.
"Yea."
"Oh no."
"What?" Tsume and Elena asked.
"Nothing. You have no idea what you are getting your self into."
"And what would that be?" Elena asked.
"The banquets are boring."
"No they are not!" Lin and Elena screamed.
"You've never been to one; you've been gone for three years!" Elena said.
"I went to the 2nd year one."
"Just go and help Tsume pick out his tuxedo. I'll deal with you later. Here take the van and please don't wreck it." Elena said.
"Don't worry I'll drive." Tsume said taking the keys from Elena. They kissed and went out into the garage.
Elena pulled the car out and they yelled. "Chichi, come on we are going shopping."
"For real?" She then ran over and got into the car. "Why are we going shopping?"
"Just to go and to pick out a dress for tomorrow night's banquet."
"You know, you should buy a red dress. I'm sure Tsume will love that." Lin said
"Tsume?" Chichi asked.
"Yea, I'm going with him?"
"Oh." Chichi's big smile feel off her face and she sunk into the back seat.
"Something tight and short, but not to tight or Tsume will have a time getting you out of it."
"Lin! Not infrount of Chichi!"
It didn't really matter because Chichi wasn't paying any attention any ways. "Great, he ruins even a shopping trip." she told herself.
"What did you say, Chichi?"
"Nothing, Sissy."
Once at the mall Chichi followed Lin and Elena but didn't really shop. All she could think of was how Tsume is butting in and how she could get rid of him.
"Oh how about the dress." Lin held up a v neck long, tight fitting black dress.
"No ,to slutty. I want Tsume to be turned on but not to much turned on."
Chichi just sat in a chair and snarled.
"What's wrong, Chichi?"
"Nothing. You don't mind if I go get a cookie?"
"No sweety go ahead."
Mean while at 'Tuxedo' Kiba, Tsume, Hige, and Toboe were shopping.
"What do you think abut a yellow tux?" Hige said.
"No!"
"It will bring out your eyes."
"I said no."
At that time the sales clerk just came out from the back.
"May I help you boys?"
"Yes. We are looking for a tuxedo for our friend here. He is going to a banquet with his girlfriend tomorrow night."
"Oh. I think we can do something for you."
"This is prefect!" Elena screamed from the dressing room.
"Let me see." Lin said.
Elena walked out in a red v neck, spaghetti strap dress. It hugged her top perfectly, but flared at the hips all the way to the middle of her calves.
"Oh now that is hot. I'm borrowing." Lin said.
"You know what's missing?" Elena asked
"Shoes!" They both yelled.
Elena bought the dress and found the perfect pair of shoes. Lin and Elena then walked around and looked for Chichi. They found her in Old Navy buying a top.
"So did you have fun, Chichi?"
"Tons."Chichi then whispered. "If you like being alone."
"Thats wonderful. So, Lin, you want me to take you home?"
"If it's not to much trouble."
"No, none at all."
When Elena and Chichi finally got home, Chichi didn't say much. She just told everyone goodnight and went to her room.
"Chichi, you hungry?" Elena asked but it was to late she had already shut the door to her room.
Tsume walked up behind Elena and rapped his arms around Elena's waist.
"So did you have any luck on a dress?"
"Yes, I did."
"May I see?"
"Not till tomorrow." She then turned around and kissed Tsume. "So how about you tux?"
"Your brother wanted me to get a yellow tux."
"Oh no, you didn't buy one did you?"
"No, I got a black one."
"Thats good." They kissed again. "Well I'm going to bed. I want to be rested for our date."
"Ok. I guess I'm going to go take a shower. Don't want to stink."
"You are going to take a shower tomorrow?"
"What? I'm a dog not a human. Do you expect me to take a shower ever time we go some place?" Tsume joked.
"As a matter of fact I do."
"I don't wanna." Tsume said poutingly.
"I don't care what you want. I care what I want."
"Wow, your so selfish."
"Sure am."
"Ok. Good night."
"What?"
"What about what?."
"Never mind."
Tsume kissed Elena and begun to laugh.
"You're so mean." Elena said.
"Yea, I'm cruel, callous, and yours."
"You better be mine."
"I'm yours for as long as you want me."
"Well then that will be forever."
"Well I guess I will forever be yours." Tsume then kissed Elena.
"You promise?"
"Yes. I promise."
Elena smiled and looked into Tsume's eyes. "Double promise?"
"I double, triple promise. I'm yours now and forever."
Elena kissed Tsume. "Promise you will stay alive long enough for forever?"
"Yes. I will stay alive long enough for forever."
Elena smiled and rapped her arms around Tsume's waist and laid her head on his chest. "You better."
