Author's Notes: Sorry it took so long. Sorry this story isn't finished. Sorry I don't update more often. Sorry my chapter's are so short... I could go on, but I think I'll leave it at that. Be thankful. Not sorry. Like me. ... (Pretend that that made sense, not only for my sake, but yours as well.)
CharmedReality- Thank you! Yay for angsty-cuteness! clueless97- Bwahahahahahahaha! No chaos, you say? Kitty in the Box- Don't worry the laptop isn't an important detail.
Chapter XI - Meeting
Tatsuha arrived at Noriko's home, with K as the driver. Tatsuha's hair had been forced back, because of K's reckless driving. His eyes were opened to enormous lengths, and were tearing. His arms were stiff from clutching the seat.
It took him a moment to unfreeze, but when he did, he jumped out and started kissing the ground. 'Ah, sweet ground! I love you! Never leave me again!'
After he finished kissing the ground, he started getting mad at K, the cause of his irrationnal love of the ground.
'What is wrong with you! You could've killed us! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!'
'I didn't kill us though, did I?'
'No...'
'Well... Ukai-san's waiting, let's go.'
The blonde American led the way to Noriko's home. He rang the doorbell. When Noriko opened it, she saw K sporting a huge smile, and Tatsuha seething with rage, as well as having had his hair blown back.
'Eh.. Nice to see you again. Please, come in,' greeted Noriko, trying not to further provoke Tatsuha.
Noriko led the way into a sitting room where there was three places set. Ah.. Noriko's husband must be joining us as well. Tatsuha remembered him from the cooking contest that Shuichi had been entered in.
To Tatsuha's horror, the gun-totting American took the third place. Tatsuha inched into his street, afraid.
When no one had said anything for a few minutes, Noriko broke the silence, 'Would you like some tea, Tatsuha?'
'Uh... Alright.'
Noriko took Tatsuha's cup, and poured some tea into it.
'I suppose you're wondering why you're here?'
Tatsuha hadn't been wondering. The shock of K's driving "skills" had not yet left him, he was consumed with a love for the ground, and a fear of K. He kept silent.
'Touma's having a
Christmas party tomorrow evening. Yuki and Shuichi are no longer together, as I'm sure you must be aware of. We were hoping to get back together.'
'Okay... But what does this have to do with me?'
'Touma would you to bring Yuki for midnight... Will you?'
Tatsuha was about to speak when he noticed that there was a pistol pointed at his head. He was going to say yes anyways. This just confirmed that. Touma and Ryuichi were band-mates, after all, meaning the sixteen year-old's obsession would probably be present. Remembering the pistol Tatsuha answered, 'Yeah, I'll do it.'
K took his pistol away from Tatsuha's head, and Tatsuha's head, and Tatsuha let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding.
'Well... If that's l I suppose I should be going.'
Tatsuha didn't want to give K ore opportunities to point guns at him.
'K, would you give Tatsuha a ride?' inquired Noriko.
'Su-'
'No thanks, I'll walk!' replied Tatsuha hastily, as he rushed out of the rooom. He wanted more quality time with the ground.
'Well... One down, one to go. Can I leave this one to you K-san?'
'Certainly.'
