Chapter 8: Infuriation
The feud of Tiger and Wolf…eat your hearts out…free your souls…
"Naoko..."
Her name left my lips as I stared upon her small form. It's interesting...how did these humans get taken into the darkness...get taken here...why...
I sighed inwardly...I guess it's just one of the many mysteries that'll catch my curiosity but I'll never really solve.
"Oh! I'm sorry...w-what are you doing here exactly...I thought we didn't have classes..." she said hurriedly. She looked a bit disheveled from out collision and her face had a pink tinge to it. Interesting...
She continued to watch me with her wolf-like eyes, her head tilted to the side slightly as she awaited my answer.
"Oh right...I-I came to find you, we made it to outside of the castle when someone noticed you'd g-gone missing..." I swallowed hard under her intense stare "k-knowing what the guys here could do...i-it only seemed reasonable to go find y-you..." Why was I stuttering?!
She giggled as if knowing something I didn't. Either that or it's probably cause I'm standing here babbling like some idiot.
"Ok then...I guess we should get back to the castle ne?" she laughed nervously "I mean back to our dorm castle..."
"Y-Yeah...right..." What is that bottle in her hand? Oh well it's really none of my business…
We stood there for a few minutes in silence...seemingly lost in our own thoughts, when suddenly Naoko decided to break the silence.
"Let's go...our dorm is this way right?" She grabbed my hand and tugged on it while beginning to walk back in the direction I came from.
"Uhhh...yeah!!!" I said unusually loud.
Why am I acting so strange? It's not like I've never been around a girl before. Ugh probably just my hormones acting up. -.- Stupid hormones...
We continued to walk down the hall hand-in-hand, not caring so much about the uncomfortable silence. She didn't seem to mind our closeness...so it didn't really matter right?
She did seem a little worried about something...I could see it in her eyes...but that's her choice whether to tell me or not.
As we walked back into our dorm castle a few whistles were heard. "Damn just had to pick one of the cute ones didn't you Tiger-boy..." Ozuma and a few others were in the common room.
"Aww...the Wolf and Tiger do make an adorable couple!" cheered one of the girls in the room.
"Nice choice Naoko," Rena said with a wink. I noticed that she was on the couch, Wyatt was close by leaning against the wall...giving her strange looks. Probably is confused by what she...hey wait we're not a couple!!! Err...unless she wants to be...
"Hohohohohohoho!!!" Oh no...no no no no no no no no....
Everyone's head turned to the doorway of our dorm but mine.
"HONEY-BUNNY!!!" squealed the voice of the devil.
Miran Xiaolin...a curse of the devil...a demon from the East Side School...and the head of the 'Kiss me Tiger' Fan club...the person of the school who had declared her claim on me...but has none what so ever I assure you!!!
"Oh shit..." I said a loud.
Naoko looked up at me with a confused look. Just then an idea popped into my head.
"Naoko..." I whispered "could you do me a favor...I...need you to pretend to be my girlfriend..."
"NANI--"
I cut her off by swiftly pressing my lips to hers in a chaste kiss.
I opened one eye and glanced at Miran, whose jaw had hit the ground. "W-WHO IS THAT WHORE!?!?" she screamed at my roommates.
"You don't know? But Mi-chan I thought you knew all..." Akira said snidely at the blond.
"WHO IS SHE SHIDAICO!?!?!" Miran shrieked again as Naoko and my kiss continued.
"That's Rei's woman...so tell all the other little stalkers he has to fuck off...and leave him alone..." Tala...is sticking up for me!? Holy shit the apocalypse is coming!!!
Miran stood there for a minute as Naoko and I parted to catch our breath. I turned to Miran and growled darkly. She then ran from our castle sobbing hysterically.
I looked down at a tousled Naoko who had not a blush of embarrassment on her face...but one of fury. Suddenly the stinging pain of a slap was all I could register as I was sent against a wall.
"Oh...err...bad timing...it's...hehe dinner time everyone..." said Akemi-sensei from the doorway.
I watched Naoko flee from the room and some of the other girls followed. What had I done?
-------------------------------------------------------------
At dinner we all sat at our respected tables choosing our own seating arrangements. The tables were long and not too wide so the seating arrangement went a little like this.
Tala (at the head of the table)
Shura (across from) Spencer
Ozuma (across from) Cameron
Bryan (across from) Loretta
Akira (across from) Takao
Kyo (across from) Nikita
Kao-ri (across from) Kai
Brooklyn (across from) (Me)
Enrique (across from) Naoko
Mystel (across from) Vega
Xylia (across from) Emma
Oliver (across from) Kane
Luna (across from) Max
Garland (across from) Miyuki
Wyatt (across from) Rai
Rena (across from) Cathy
Lucky me...I get to sit next to Naoko-san...I don't understand what she's angry about...maybe if I can talk to her—
"Ahhhhhh spicy!!! Hot!!!" I watched Kao-ri drop her fork and look around for something to drink.
I watched in amusement as Brooklyn handed her his flask and she drank from it desperately trying to stop the burning in her throat. Oh did I mention that Brook's flask...was that of blood?
A thin red line dripped down her chin and a wicked smirk formed on Brooklyn's face as the girl paled in horror of her actions.
"Kao-ri...a-are you ok?" Kyo asked with a concern look.
She looked frozen in shock.
I sighed...when Brook had an obsession...he had an obsession.
I looked around the table and picked up some of the conversation.
"So...Akira...when did you fill out in all the right places?"
SLAP!!!
"It's nice to meet you Miyumi..."
".....................nice to meet you as well..."
"Kon-san...?" I turned to face Naoko snapping out of my daze.
"H-Hai? N-Naoko-san...pleaseforgivemeIdidn'tmeantoImeanI-I-I-I-I-I-I--"
"So...does that mean you really want me to be your girlfriend Rei?"
