Moving In
Chapter 6
It was midnight; Tamao couldn't fall asleep. So she went down the stairs to get a drink of water. Without making a creaking sound, she tip-toed around the house to the kitchen. Standing at the bottom of the stairs, she noticed that the kitchen light was on. She went to go turn it off but right when she was at the edge of the doorway she heard some voices from inside.
"...and so, that's why she sent me here. But, of course, I bet you already knew that, Miss Anna."
"I did. I was just wondering if you'd actually be honest."
"You think I'm a liar? Really, I don't know if I care anymore."
"Go to bed, Hao, it's late."
"Alright then. Good night." Hao slowly went of the room. With his senses cut short, he didn't even notice Tamao standing by the doorway as he passed her.
That's weird, Hao has a better keen intuition than that. I wonder what's wrong....
--------after school . . . end of soccer practice----
"Hey, Hao! Over here!" Toshihito Haru waved on the soccer field.
Hao ran over to the team.
"The practice is over, are you still going to stay on the field?" Haru took his water bottle, and let some water splatter onto his shoulder-length, black hair, "That's some commitment you have."
"Well...actually, I'm just waiting for her to come." Hao pointed at Tamao, who was still quite a distance away.
"...Tamao, isn't it? Her name?"
"How'd you know?"
"Well..." Toshihito's dark blue eyes shifted, "She was in my class a few years ago. And I've seen her during lunch time...."
Hao tried to speak loudly for Tamao to hear, "You remember her! I guess you aren't into popular girls, are you? You like her, don't you?"
Luckily, for Toshihito, the whole soccer team, except for Hao, already cleared the field with other friends, and family who were to pick them up. And as for Tamao, she never really understood what Hao was trying to say.
"S-shut up!" Haru started turning red, "it's not like she really knows who I am, or anything...."
"For a guy so popular with girls at school...is just so shy...how cute..." Hao taunted as he placed his hand on his cheek, acting like a girl.
"Stop it, Hao!! Or I'll kick you off the team! Anyway, she's coming...."
Tamao walked up to the two loud cows, and looked at the unfamiliar one.
"...Toshihito Haru! It's nice to see you." Tamao greeted.
"Uh...Hello." Haru nodded.
"Well, gots to be going." Hao placed his arm around Tamao, and walked off with a smirk, leaving Toshihito fuming on the field.
Once out of Toshihito's view, Hao let his arm slip off of Tamao's shoulders.
"What was that about?" she asked.
"Ah. Well..." Hao smiled, "Toshihito has a has a big, big crush on you!" Hao burst out laughing.
"Well...I don't see what's funny," Tamao said, "Why did you tell me anyway?"
"He didn't make me promise not to tell. So really, I can still say what I like."
"But won't he hate you for it?"
"It's only been a few days, but we're close, Toshihito and me. No worries. Aren't you going to ask him out?"
"Huh?"
"Toshihito's hair is like a silky black. And his dark, blue eyes are just so serious, and sexy. Oh, and have you seen him in the lockers? Wait, of course you haven't. He has such a nice body too." Hao sounded suave.
"Um, Hao? Are you OK?"
"Why wouldn't I be" he gave an unconvincing smile.
"Maybe you need some rest, I'll bring up your dinner for you."
"Sure thing," Hao said as he stepped into his brother's house.
Tamao quickly went over to the kitchen to start cooking as Hao went up the stairs. Each thump was dull as the last. When he finally reached his room, he dropped his books at his desk, closed the door, and started talking to himself.
"What am I doing? I shouldn't be encouraging Tamao to like him! He likes her, but what if she likes him too?! I keep people away....I'm the one with silky hair, dark eyes, and nice body. But that's not the point...I love her, more than anything."
Hao spoke heartbreakingly while looking at a bird that was on his desk, "I want to be with her, even if it takes my life. I know I use to like Anna...then my parents had her engaged to Yoh! Screw him...and Anna! It's not like either of them want me or even care for my existence. But then again...I don't know if Tamao even cares about me either. What do you think, little bird?"
The bird tilted his head, and said, "I think you need some help!"
"What am I doing, talking to you?!?!" Hao yelled, and slammed on his desk as the bird flew away.
In truth, the voice of the bird was actually Anna who was passing Hao's room.
-----------------------
I might make this a Hao POV in the next few chapters.... don't expect too many chapters. I'm busy in the summer! ack...
--hm...for all those who know digimon, I guess you could say Toshihito is like Kouichi or Kouji...
