a/n: so I haven't been writing at all, because my internet's been down and I have exams to prepare for. So sorry. ) But here it is. Chapter 5. Enjoy.
"... mm... so then... who's that faceless man?"
"My bastard of a father." Akito got up again and cracked his knuckles. He looked out the window, the sun slowly turning over to dark and moon. Sana stared at the boy--who seemed to have broken out of his tough facade.
"Ah...!"
"Don't."
"Don't what?" Sana tried to laugh off any accusations he was going to make, but she knew he was smart enough to know exactly what she was thinking.
"Don't do that thing where you look at me with those pitying eyes and you start feeling bad for me… Because I don't need it." His head snapped towards Sana's direction and he could tell by her red face and downward eyes that he had guessed correctly. "Look, it's always been this way. Ever since my mom died. So I'm used to it. He's basically dead to me, anyway so I don't really care much. Honestly, I'm just following him around because I'm too young to be my own guardian."
Sana looked up at Akito, not sure how to react or what to say. He says that he doesn't need any attention or pity, but he just looked so lonely… standing there in front of her. She just had to help him…
"Yo. Didn't I tell you not to do the pitying/staring thing…?" Sana yelped as she saw Akito's face just an inch away from her own.
"I'M NOT STARING AT YOU BECAUSE I'M PITYING YOU!"
"Oh? Then why are you staring at me, dear Sana? Is it because... you can't take your eyes off of me?" He whispered playfully in her ear.
"GEH! WHO WOULD HAVE AFFECTIONS FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU! YOU… YOU… YOU SNOT WALL!"
"PFT. Snot wall! Seriously..?" He started going into a laughing fit, pointing at her and holding his stomach. Sana just sat there in indignation and anger that he could possibly be laughing at her. But she stared at his smiling face and couldn't help thinking that he would be so much better, if he only smiled like this all the time.
Akito pushed her off her chair and was greeted by a whack on the head.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" Sana screamed, holding a hammer in her hand.
"Isn't it time for you to go home? Although I don't mind… if you stay the night."
"NO THANKS."
Sana left towards the door, Akito following right behind her. She had just gotten out the door when she turned around and saw Akito giving her a menacing smile.
"We couldn't do anything today, dearie… But I'll see you at school tomorrow, and maybe we could find a closet to pick up where we left off…"
"PERV!" Sana stomped off towards her house, as mad as him as ever and forgetting that she even had an inkling of liking for him.
a/n: So that was a short chapter. Lol. I'm not really into Kodomo no Omocha right now… I still like it and all but I'm reading all these new scanlations. But I'll try and finish this one. (
Geh. I totally need a boyfriend.
JFAN. At your service.
Please remember to R&&R. Because it motivates me a lot. Arigatou, you takos. b
