Sorry its taken me so long to update. There's been so many bday parties lately its crazy. This is my first free day since last Tuesday (its Monday) so be happy I finally updated. Onto the chapter! Before I bore you into leaving. THANK YOU TO ALL MY REVIEWERS! Oh and ill explain how a girl and a guy became roommates at the end comment. XD
normal Pov
Yuki stared at the sleeping figure next to him. She looked like a little angel the way her metallic hair shown in the morning sun (ok this is now turned into Yuki's POV). 'wait, what am I thinking. I hope I'm not getting a crush on her.' A few more minutes passed as Yuki continued to star at the sleeping girl. Though, this girl wasn't sleeping anymore, unbeknownst (what the heck. Just put unknown) unknown to Yuki.
"What are you starring at?" her voice was a little over a mumble, considering that she had just woken up. Yuki finally noticed the grey eyes starring at him with slight annoyance.
"I-I well-l I d-don't-t kn-know." Yuki was stuttering and he knew it. 'its like her eyes are intimidating or something. She makes me nervous when she looks at me like that' though who wouldn't be nervous, Senko's been known to be a very intimidating person.
"Well good for you. As I've said before, I'm Hirowani Senkoamento. And as I've also said before, call me Senko." She pulled herself up into a sitting position, like Yuki, and turned to face him. "Now that I've said a little about myself, it's your turn to share."
Yuki was now confused, and it showed on his face. But he, nonetheless, pulled himself together and started speaking, speaking gibberish that is. "I-I w-well y-you see-e I-I-"
"since you can't seem to find where to start" Senko interrupted with a smirk," then I'll ask you questions and you answer." All Yuki could do was nod because he didn't trust his mouth anymore. "ok. First question: you're the rat right?" he was stunned. 'how in the world did she know that?' a small smile came to Senko's face while she watched Yuki's stunned face staring back at her. "I'll take that as a yes. We'll continue this conversation later."
"W-why?" was all Yuki could stutter before a nurse popped her head into the room, announcing visitors. He gave Senko an odd look before turning pale at the sound of his brother's voice. To his surprise, only Shigure and Ayame entered the room. Shigure had his arm tied in a sling and Ayame had a bandage raped around his head.
"Heeeellllllooooo dear brother. True, your throwing us out the window caused us pain the whole night, I have still come back in hopes of forgiveness for my deeds."
"It's not even visiting hours. What are you doing here?" Yuki's tone showed he was in no mood for forgiveness, or the older men's jokes.
"Well you see, we were so badly injured, we had to stay at the hospital over night." Shigure said in his oh-so-annoying sing-song voice.
"They're the dog and snake right?" Senko interrupted, pointing towards Shigure and Ayame, but facing Yuki. It was the dog and snake's turn to be stunned. Their eyes widened and mouth's dropped. Both turned to Yuki as in saying, you told her?
This made Senko laugh. 'those idiots' was what she was thinking as she looked at the older men staring at her wide eyed. "you idiots" was what she said in reality. Once her laughing stopped, and she could finally breath easy, about 15 minutes later, she stood up and brushed herself off.
"Well, I'd explain, but I'm hungry. And theres a very upset nurse glaring at you by the doorway." Senko gestured to the nurse who was furious at….something.
"HOW DARE YOU SNEAK INTO THE HOSPITAL AND BOTHER GUESTS ON EXTENSIVE CARE? YOU SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR SUCH A CRIME!" the nurse yanked to 2 older men by the coller out into the hallway where you could hear the men struggle against the angered nurse.
"Well……their weird. Wanna' go get something to eat?" She turned to Yuki and smiled. He was dumbfounded by her beauty (corny but w/e) and could only nod. Her eyes filled with joy and she grabbed Yuki by the wrist and yanked him down the hall to the cafeteria.
In The Cafeteria
"This food is better then I thought it would be."
"Why of course. Extensive care get only the best. It's one of the few upsides." Yuki looked up at Senko to see her head hung low. This saddened him. 'Am I falling for her? I really only met her yesterday. So no I mustn't be in love.' He shook his head furiously to rid his mind of such thoughts.
When he looked up again, he saw Senko starring at him oddly. 'that must have looked odd.' He smiled reassuringly, which only caused her to raise an eyebrow at him. Once they had finished breakfast, which had consisted of hash browns, eggs of all kinds, bacon, sausage, orange juice, milk, water, and assorted fruits, they headed outside for a little walk.
Outside, though still on Hospital property
They had been walking around in silence for about 10 minutes now. Yuki was trying to get up the courage to ask Senko how she knew about the curse, but for some reason, something told him not to. To him, it looked like she was waiting for something, patiently though.
After a few more minutes of pointless walking, they took a break and sat under an old willow tree (I don't know what they look like. Aren't I smart?). Senko was laying down with her hands behind her head. Yuki sat up and was leaning back on his hands. Senko looked slightly annoyed but she still hid it well. Yuki was, of course, still in deep thought.
"So are you going to ask your am I going to have to explain?" Senko sounded slightly annoyed but she kept her voice at a calm level.
"I think it may be best if you explain." Yuki didn't catch her sarcasm, but she explained nonetheless.
"I know this'll cause only more questions but I decided to start here. Ok? Good." She didn't wait for an answer, she was already too annoyed to wait any longer. "Souma's are usually the majority of the unforgiving spirits." She was right. This caused to Yuki to get unbelievably confused, but he stayed true to his word, or more truthfully, the word Senko forced upon him. A ghost of a smile played on her lips as she continued, "You see, my family has a curse as well, even though only one person is the one cursed. Every hundred years, all the spirits of the people that got their dreams (ambitions not the dreams in your sleep) taken away from them by some cruel fate, come to one person, the cursed one, so they can get all their anger out and finally leave this earth to heaven. I was lucky enough to get to have the honor of being followed around by a bunch of angry ghosts who do everything in their power to make me miserable. They even have the power to create deseases. Most of the worst illnesses known to man were created from them.
"As to connect this to the first point I made, about the Souma spirits, is that everything that they knew from their time is given to me. Almost every Souma who was ever cursed follows me around. They tell each other stories of the cursed in their family now. That's how I recognized you, your mentioned a lot. Any questions?"
Of course he had questions. I mean who wouldn't after hearing someone was cursed to such a cruel hate. Then the realization hit him, this must be how it feels to be the one not cursed when hearing about another's.
She had closed her eyes and started enjoying the playful breeze playing with her hair (get it P). She heard a thud coming from where Yuki was. Opening one eye, the one closer to the noise, she looked at Yuki, who had, undoubtedly, punched the ground with all his might. A small ditch could be seen where his fist made contact.
Being a girl, she sensed a lecture coming on, so she sat up into a more comfortable position, closed her eyes, and started humming.
I'm so evil! Don't ask. Well, now for my explanation on how a guy and girl got in the same room. Senko was obviously a girl as everyone could tell, but Yuki was harder to tell apart, from girl or boy. They finally decided he was a girl and put him in Senko's room. She knew right away that he was a guy, from the spirits stories, but made no action against it. Or, if you don't believe that, they only had one room open, so they broke the rules and put them together. w/e you choose is fine with me. I dunno if this is considered a cliffy or not. But I think so cause you dunno whats gunna happen next. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. PLEASE REVIEW!
