Chapter six: Questioning Behavior

The next day, Tatsuya arrived promptly at six a.m. to walk Kira to school. Ms. Aso watched from the window and sighed. My little girl's got her self a guy friend.

When Tatsuya and Kira arrived at school, Kira was laughing modestly at a joke Tatsuya said. Tatsuya watched Kira laugh and smiled inwardly. Off in the distance, Rei was talking to Takayuki about the math homework. He turned around and spotted Kira and Tatsuya. He was about to wave when Kira suddenly took Tatsuya's hand and Tatsuya blushed.

Rei looked away and found a hot girl. He walked over to her. "Hey, babe." Rei draped his arm over her shoulder and led her into the school building. He looked behind him to see Kira slightly staring at him. She turned away as soon as their eyes met.

Rei sighed and looked down at the girl who was all over him. "Well, babe, I gotta go." He shrugged his arm off her shoulders and walked away.

"But, babe?" the girl looked at him but he didn't turn around.

Rei headed to his homeroom. When he got there, he saw Kira sitting in her regular seat at the back of the room. He silently walked toward her, she didn't notice because she was busy doodling.

"I guess Tatsuya isn't in this class." Kira looked up, startled.

"Oh, hey Rei." She looked out the window for a second. "Where's your new friend?"

She's so jealous. "Why? Are you jealous?" Rei raised his eyebrows.

Kira smiled shakily. "Why would I be jealous? I have Tatsuya." Kira folded her arms over her chest. She pouted.

"You look so cute when you pout." Rei looked at her with his head tilted.

CUTE! "Shut up," Kira murmured.

Rei laughed. "Kira, Kira, Kira." Rei shook his head. "Young, Naïve Kira."

Kira looked up at Rei, a pout still on her face. She unfolded her arms and pushed his lightly, playfully. "Rei!" Kira rubbed her temples. "You…you….gosh!" I've never been so flustered. What is this feeling? A mixture of confusion and…something. Kira rubbed her eyes. What about Tatsuya…?
