The Truth between Lust and Love
Chapter III: The Job.
Ceres' POV
It's been two days since I last saw Kuroro. That's actually while we were dating. I still can't believe up till now. He actually asked me out for a date! Again, like what I've said before, I'm not flirting with him.
……
Okay, so I do admit that I did a little flirting with him while we were dating. Who wouldn't anyway? And I even never thought it'd be his first date. But that is what he'd said. I think he-
"OUCH!" What the hell!
I was thinking so hard I didn't notice that I already bumped into someone. Someone big.
"What the fu-…Ceres, honey!" That someone annoyingly yelled. Wait a minute, I know that voice!
I stood up, and looked at the person who spoke. Its…" ….Nobunaga?"
"How'd you been?" he stepped towards me and placed his hand at my waist. I glared at him. "What?"
"If you don't removed that insignificant hand of yours off of my waist you'd wish you'd never saw me this day." I replied, voice with venom. He shivered as he removed his hand.
"Sorry babe.."
"..And drop it with that name you call me as well."
"Okay, okay…you're pretty hot headed today you know…"
"No I'm not. Anyway, enough with the small talk, what do you want?" I perceived him suddenly becoming serious. Maybe something's up. A job maybe.
"The Danchou's wants to see us. We'll be having the meeting later by 9:30 at the old temple at the outskirts of this city."
A meeting? Wonder what's up.
"I'll be there. Have any idea what's it all about?" I queried. He shook his head.
"That's the only thing Paku told me. She was supposed to notify you too but she couldn't locate you so she send me…. but still pretty early, why don't we go for a date, hmmm?" He smirked.
Moron. "Gomen, I don't go on dates with perverted, always drunk samurais. I'll be going. I'll see you tonight." That's one of my famous put downs specially made for samurais only.
I think I'll go grab a bite then ready myself.
Kuroro's POV 9:26 pm; old temple
-Flashback-
"It's funny you know." She grinned.
"What is?"
"That you never had a date before."
I blushed. "..W-what do you mean?"
"You're good-looking, charming…you're a bit nice…somehow…"
"I know that!" I said, sarcastically grinning. But I stopped when she suddenly poked me in the forehead. What was that for? I looked at her and saw her face. She was smiling. But there was something strange; different in the way she smiled.
"…Just walk me home!"
-End of flashback-
I thought that night would never end. Indeed it was a special night not because I had the chance to relax and be myself not as a leader. Its because I was able to enlighten myself by the fact that I still could do the things normal people do. I was lucky to have her as my date and the one to make it clear to me of those things. And yet, I do not understand this feeling, when I see her smiling.
Her smile was different that time. Its like she could make any man falter with just that. She had given warmth to my heart that I couldn't stop thinking about her.
What is this feeling?
"Danchou." I looked up to see Paku, Coltopi and Phinx arrive.
"Where are the others?" I calmly asked.
"They will be arriving shortly." Pakunoda answered.
Hmmm. I looked at my watch. One more minute before the meeting starts.
"We're here!" Shizuku, Nobunaga, Feitan, Machi, Bonorenofu, Franklin, Sharnock, Ubogin and Ceres. The Genei Ryodan is complete. The meeting may start now.
"Has anyone here heard of the Museum Cavalcade?"
"Museum Cavalcade?" Shizuku questioned.
"The Museum Cavalcade is a museum that moves from city to city to display their arts and other antiques. They spend two to three months in a city then packs up to go to another."
"That is correct Shar." I consider our group lucky for having Sharnock. He is very smart and detailed with these informations. "By now, you would have guessed what this meeting is about. This Museum Cavalcade will be arriving here this coming week. This coming Thursday to be exact. I want all of you to ready yourselves, since today is only Sunday. Shar, I want to you acquire all the information you could find on this. Phinx, Nobunaga, Machi and Shizuku, the four of you are the watchers on this event, if possible, make a map. I want you to see which ways we could use and what we can do in order to get in and obtain our goals. The others and myself will be staying here for the moment. That is all"
As soon as I nodded, they all took off.
