" A what?! "
" You heard me, mom. " I sighed and ate my pancakes. I told her about today's occasion at school. I admitted the story that I had to play and the role I was chosen. He widen eyes were as big as mine when I knew I got a princess role.
" So you're playing Princess White Snow? Don't you have shame for playing that one? "
" I AM ashamed, Ok? I also didn't approve this since I really hate this from the content of my heart. " I retorted angrily. She giggled and took the dishes to the kitchen. I glared half-heartedly and returned to my honey hot pancake.
" Do you tell Natsuki about this? "
I remained silent without willing to answer. She looked at me through her shoulder and waiting for answer. I couldn't fail her heart, but I also didn't want to talk about it. I lowered my head and hid my face. My tangled short amethyst hair curtained my face as I looked down to the floor.
" Yes." I curtly lifted my head and tried to deny any wrong statement. " But it was because she cornered me to tell her! I don't want to tell her in the first place! "
She gently smiled and washed the plates with white milky bubbles came out from the wash sink. " I believe you since it is impossible for you to gladly shame yourself in front of her. "
" Huh? "
Her smile widened and spoke motherly. " You like her so much, don't you? "
I blushed rapidly and nodded a little as the sign of agreement. She looked pleased and glanced me seriously.
" But don't do anything bad to her, OK? Promise me. "
" What do you mean? "
" Well..." She looked at something further than ceiling up there to catch some idea. " No kissing, no hug, nothing further than that ones. "
" WHAT?!! Since when you start taking care of my love affair?! " I slammed the table with surprise.
" I'm your mother, and also Natsuki's aunt with no blood relation. I'm not allowing any insects bothered Maron's little daughter. "
" Are you equaling me with the low insect? " I pouted and grumbled with her one-way love. Sometimes Natsuki went to the first priority for her. No jealousy for me, but it was sometimes unfair.
" Not you, darling. But I also couldn't let you to become one of that 'insect', promise me." Her solemn face was full of confidence that I had no choice but followed her order.
" So tell me. What is her reaction afterward? "
" She fainted. Her face was pale enough like the Japanese doll. " I drank my icy water with one gulp.
" What? Is she fine? " I could hear some worried tune in her question.
" I don't know. I took her and trusted everything to Aunt Maron. She is kinda heavy when I took her to upstairs. I limped a bit. Luckily I didn't knock her head to wall. " I protested as she listened to my words carefully.
Her face went to grimace; I trembled a bit with her icy glare. " You have done the right thing, Shinji! What are you grumbling about?! " I sweat dropped and drank the clear water in my glass again.
" If you are worried, why don't you just see her by yourself? "
She remained at her works and replied nothing. I stared her wonderingly. She sometimes got hard on herself and didn't tell how her true feeling was. Miyako really never changed since back then. She never admitted her worry for Maron pointedly. She mostly hid and cried when she was alone.
Maybe I should help and pushed her a bit. I stood up and took my winter coat. She watched me questioningly. I smiled and answered.
" I am still worried. I will take a look at her. Do you want to come along, mom? "
She looked relieved and washed her hand from the gloves made of bubbles with the cascading water from the sink. Then she put off her white nice apron and placed it on the chair.
" Come on. I still have time to accompany you. "
I sighed with distress. She did really never admit her feeling like an open book. Since when did I need some partner just to go to the next door? I was used to do so since I was four to see Natsuki lovely face.
I still smiled weakly toward her and waited for her in front of the wooden door. When she was ready behind me, I turned the knob and went out of our apartment.
We only needed about three or four steps to go to the next room. I waited for Miyako to ring the bell when she was also waiting for me to do the same. We both stared and I gave up. I pushed a button that a shrill sound came out and echoed at the corridor.
A pretty lady came out and offered her twinkling smile. Miyako greeted and chatted happily on the way in. They went inside without concerning about me. I closed the door and sweat dropped. When they were talking, I went upstairs to Natsuki's room. Soon mother realized what I was doing and followed me to the second floor.
She traveled along with me to the same destination. I opened the door freely without knocking before.
" Shinji, shouldn't you at least knock the door? " My mother came out on protest.
" Well, we get used on doing so. " I answered her back by looking behind at her delicate face.
" How if she is..umm..changing cloth?" She stuttered a bit that became my surprise. Then I laughed jittery.
" I always do so and that chance never came. Probably it would be good to..."
Then my head slammed by a soft pillow. I took the pillow and angrily retorted. " Who is it?! "
Then I saw her standing in grimace, looked angrily. " Baka Shinji! You're a pervert! "
" What?! I did nothing and you blamed me for this?! " I stared her and was angry half-heartedly. She put her tongue out and I only could narrow my eyes on her. Miyako got passed of me and scanned any internal or external wound of her. She frowned before she stepped back to allow some free place for Natsuki to move.
" Why..Aunt Miyako also comes. What happened? " She smiled sincerely toward us. I shook my head to substitute my mother place. " Nothing. She is just worried about you so dearly." I giggled a bit as my mother nudged me on my side chest hardly.
She spoke worriedly as I winced and pressed the place where my mother hit me with my palm to cease the pain. Natsuki glanced on me quietly and gasped to hold her laugh. I glared at her and sat on her chair.
" So, what is your business here? " She asked politely as there was Miyako. We both shook and foolishly stared.
" Nothing. You know, we are just worried since you knocked off with ridiculous reason."
She actually blushed on the first place on my statement but then glared with displeased. So she put attention of my words. I giggled and laughed widely as Miyako sweat dropped. Natsuki was looked scary as if she wanted to swallow me as punishment. I curtly remained silence and waited for her next action.
" By the way, Natsuki-chan. I heard from Shinji that you took a role as a princess, I assumed? " Miyako tried to save me by changing the subject. Well, no much change since she still glared bluntly on me but answered without looking Miyako's face.
" Yes, and I wonder if someone would change his gender easily on his own free will. " She laughed cruelly toward me and I knew what her phrase meant. I assaulted her back with another glare. The electricity of anger was expressed through our eyes. There was no one would like to stay easy.
" Oh, is that all you can say? Who is the one that said I suit to be a prince? "
" Oh, don't ask me for something that I even don't know the answer. "
We both folded our arms in front of our chest and glared each other. I never thought it would turn up like this, but I thought that another war would be heated and waged. She started to raise her voice that numbed me.
" Why you couldn't be a gentleman like Toki does? "
" Oh, so then. I am not he and never. If you chose him over me, very well! As if I don't take you also. Why you also couldn't be gentle like Celcia?! "
Miyako was sweat dropping, listening our vice versa glare and hurting words. I finally reached my limit of patience. Though I loved her so much, it didn't mean I have to be struck with that kind of words.
" Shinji! Stop it already! You are hurting Natsuki's feeling! " My mother shouted at me. She would never understand. If Natsuki didn't like to be told like that then why did she say such things?! I was also hurt. I was returning her words.
She would never change. Fin also mocked me over and over. I was jealous since she compared me with Toki. Why should he appear in her conversation? I remained quiet. Natsuki trembled hardly that I stopped glaring at her. I didn't want to stay longer since she might cry if I did.
I turned my face and opened her door room. I saw Maron blinked in front of me. I wondered if she listened. She looked confused. It meant she didn't hear our loud 'conversation'.
" Shinji? What has happened here? " She queried innocently. I didn't want to tell her anything for my harsh words to Natsuki. Maybe I should say sorry but not now. I had to calm myself either. She would reject my apologized either if I said it now.
I smiled relaxingly. "Nothing. Just a bit of quarrel. I am sorry. I'm going home now."
" How about your pancakes? " I glanced at the thing that she carried. She brought a tray with a plate that contained hotcakes. Usually I would devour them already, but this time I didn't have any appetite to eat, especially for this guilt for hurting Natsuki's feeling. I really shouldn't compare her with Celcia.
" No thanks. I only accompany mother here and I don't in mood to eat. I'll eat on other days. " I didn't look back before I left the room.
" Please come home soon after you are done with your business, mother. Father called that he would come home earlier. " Then I closed the door before I listened my mother replied.
" Why you don't tell me earlier?! " Miyako shouted half-angrily. Then I could hear a sob. My heart started to throb and feel pain. I hurriedly returned to my apartment. Hopefully she would forget about this tomorrow so that we could go to school again together like the usual morning.
" Natsuki, I'm sorry. Please forgive me..." I trailed her to the way to school to beg her forgiveness. She still threw away her face from me and walked in front of me.
" Natsuki-chan...Please? I know I was wrong to compare me with Celcia, so I'm sorry! Natsuki-chan! "
I gripped her arms that made her winced in pain. She slapped my hand and finally opened her mouth. "It hurts, baka!" She glared hard on me. I took a step backward to give her more space. "I'm sorry, but you have not listened or cared to hear. "
" You are not gentle like Toki would do. I hate you. " She didn't look at me as she lowered her head. I couldn't see her face or her lime eyes. Was she just comparing me again? Why she always liked to hurt me?
" Why? Why you always hurt me? " My eyes went saddened as she turned her face on me. She smiled evilly. It was like Fin when she betrayed us. I didn't like it; really hated it. Soon I saw two other close friends of ours waved their hands. Natsuki ran toward them, leaving me alone behind.
She did it again. Like when they left the heaven without me. When in the end, Fin didn't return to me anymore. Just when she was finally home at our side, she died in front of us to protect Maron. I just felt forgotten. More and more she would the same again, leaving me all alone for someone that she held dear or respect for her.
I watched for her from far and snapped out my mind. I waved my hand to make the bus to wait. " Natsuki, wait!!" She ignored me completely that provoked me enough. Toki was curious when I glared at him secretly.
" So what is kind of story that you make? " I held my head with one hand boringly on the table. It would really a long day. I stared outside to the cerulean sky. I wondered what would it feel to fly upon the fluffy cloud.
Suddenly the head class slammed on my table hard. I jolted back on my chair and sweat dropped. He stared me and the tense between us was rising rapidly like a rocket. There was only scary aura around him that made me paid attention.
" Minazuki-kun, do you listen to me? "
" Eh...ummm....no? "
Suddenly he choked me and waved me forcefully, lacking of breath. All of students' sweat dropped but no one dared to help. Shouting and showing his fang, he loosened his grip. "Minazuki-kun!! I've tried to make this succeed and you! " He pointed his forefinger on my face. I blinked twice and smiled. "are ignoring me completely?!!!!"
" Hehe...sorry. I don't mean to....well..err..but"
He was calm and positioned his thick eyeglasses once more time. He returned to the front class. He coughed once and spoke again. My classmates were whispering to me under their breath.
" He is really dangerous. He is really too serious in this Culture Festival. " Some girls were grumbling toward him for pushing me. I just gazed at him wonderingly since he was so exaggerate about this foolish festival.
I glanced a bit through the glass window before chalks that threw by someone you knew hit me. I giggled foolishly for a while and paid attention to him.
" Shirayuki Hime? " I blinked twice curiously as the other students prepared for the ornament. "Isn't the image far from me to be a snow maiden? She should be gentle and feminine while I was the opposite. " I tilted my head while waited for answer.
" We don't know. Maybe there would be a change on the storyline. We aren't sure yet. Why don't you ask the head class? " They were carrying the things and the tolls that were needed. I rubbed my head for a while and waved hand on them.
" Ja! Thank you! I'll try to find out. " I ran along the corridor but didn't find head class. I was almost giving up when I saw Natsuki on her way to me. She didn't see me as her view was blocked with some box. Without her knowing, I lifted the box from the front side. She got curious and asked sweetly.
" Umm....Who is that? Thank you for..."
" Why are you crossing Senior High School? " I smiled warmly when I also forgot about our fight yesterday. I took her heavy things from her. Her arms seemed relaxed for a while. She had to be really tired to bring these many box.
She glanced angrily toward me and threw her face from me. " Why should you concern?" She tried to take things from me. Of course I couldn't allow her since she looked exhausted. I wondered where her classmate boys to let a girl picked tools by her own.
" I concern because I care! " my solemn face remained for a while hen returned to the jovial one. "I have break time. I'll help you. "
She tried to reach out her tools. I raised the tools higher for not allowing her to carry them. "Give those boxes back, baka Shinji! " She shouted do loudly as the students were staring at us. I blushed a bit for this interruption. I put my forefinger on my lips. " Shhhht! You're too loud. "
I turned my back while she was covering her mouth with her hands. " Ach! Wait! Shinji!" She chased me from behind when I walked down the stairs. "What are you perhaps doing?! "
" I help you. Girl shouldn't carry heavy things when the boys take a rest." I smiled sincerely. " She seemed surprised and took a step backward. She started acting oddly that she seemed not like her self. I got worried and watched her worriedly.
" Natsuki? Are you all right? " She soon recovered from her shock. " Hmph! I don't need you! Give me that things already! Shinji!!
" You shouldn't! You should take a break! You're tired already, right?! "
"I'm not! You're the one who said it! Give them back! "
" That's enough, Natsuki! It's dangerous to fight on stairs! Just leave it to me! "
" I said I don't need you! I am not that weak! Shinji, give those boxes to me now! Ah? "
I saw her slipped and fell. " NATSUKIII!! " I reached out for her hand and fell with fallen boxes. Her eyes were closed in fear. The only thing that came into my head was how to protect Natsuki. I fell first to cover her and hit my head with the hard floor. Soon I didn't know what had happened as the darkness swallowed me to endless road.
All I could hear was my name in vague way.
Fuh! Hard enough to finish this. I don't know how the story should turn to make the better one! Still the same! Review please! Flame and Feedbacks received gladly!
