Chapter
Seven
'Death.
She can't be serious.' Kyo thought as he continued to hold
the sobbing boar. "Do you actually believe that those cards were
right?" He asked her. He watched Kagura's grey eyes blink up at
him. She gave a small nod. So she did believe that the cards were
right. "But you used to predict things about us when you were
younger and you were always wrong then." Kyo tried to comfort
her.
"Yes but I've gotten better since then. I even predicted
when Elle was going to get a gift." She spoke about her friend
Elyon.
This
was true. What she predicted anyway. Elyon had received a puppy from
her father two days after she had read her the cards. Kyo just looked
to her.
"Well I believe you are wrong this time." He told her
before realising something that may be important. Kagura and he were
there like this without arguing. He was actually listening to her and
she wasn't trying to kill him.
Kagura
calmed down around five minutes later. He still had his arms around
her as she tried to push away from him.
"Kyo-kun?" She was
confused. "Don't you want me to go?" Kyo simply shook his head.
In all honesty he didn't want her to leave.
"No not really."
Kyo told her. He pressed his lips to her forehead. "I like it when
it's like this." Kagura's eyes widened slightly as she flushed
red. "Why? Don't you like it?" The boar hadn't really thought
about it. Yes, yes she did like it when it was like this.
"I
do." She admitted. He smiled softly and expressed a simple good to
her. It was then that the cat exited.
"Kyo-kun.
I don't want to ruin this moment." She told him knowing if she
said anything more she probably would.
"Then don't say
anything." He chuckled to her. Kyo had finally let her go. Kagura
was just sitting on the edge of his bed whilst he was out on the
balcony. "You should feel lucky. I'm letting you get close to me
without shouting at you."
"Oh I do feel lucky-"
"I was
being sarcastic."
"Oh." She replied once more as she drew
her knees up to her chin. Her hair tickled her shoulders as she
hunched forward. She hated to be the barer of bad news. If she were
right about the cards then it would be more than just bad news. It
would be really terrible news.
It was just then that Kyo's fingers just then flexed around the bars of the balcony. This was nice they were hanging out like they did when they first met. Before the crush and the pitying. He had to admit if they could keep at this pace then there could be a chance that they could give a go of going out. No wait Kyo most definitely wouldn't admit it if he had said that… and if he did he would just deny it. Kagura flung herself back on the bed. Her fingers grasped at the sheets as she looked up to the ceiling wondering if she could manage to stay quiet. She had so much going on in her mind. She was appreciating how nice Kyo was being though. This actually gave Kagura a way to think… because she had no one to interrupt her thoughts.
Verity
blinked as she looked to Blade.
"A performance?" She asked
him. "Here in Kawaia. So the boys are coming over?" Verity
already should have known this.
"Yes but sooner than expected."
He explained to her. "Just to practise the songs." Verity
couldn't believe what was going on. She was lying on this bed in
his arms. Many feelings were arousing inside her as she tried to
understand what had just happened. Did he seduce her with his hands
on her neck or did she give in naturally? He asked her if she loved
him and she just blurted out yes. "Is something wrong?" The girl
shook her head as she pushed herself up from the bed out of his arms.
Verity
had just remembered that Saki and Arisa were awaiting her
return.
"I'm sorry for leaving but the girls are expecting
me." To this Blade gave a small nod of his head. Blade understood
that Verity had just made some friends and she needed to socialise.
Verity found it really hard to make friends. She was lucky that Saki
and Arisa took to her easily. Blade lay back on the bed and stared at
the ceiling and only one thought went through his head. 'Would
Shigure let me paint this room black?' Before he had the chance
to look back to her Verity had left to the room next door. Tohru was
going to be there too but Verity didn't think that she got on as
well as Tohru as she would have liked.
She
entered quite quickly giving the three girls a shock. Yet Saki
brushed it off. Tohru smiled softly:
"Is everything alright?"
The brunette asked. All Verity gave for a response was a nod of the
head. Verity pulled her suitcase onto the bed beside Arisa. She
started to rummage through it for something to wear the next morning
when she went shopping with the girls… shopping wasn't her strong
point as she believed she had a bad fashion sense but well. It just
showed that Verity was an individual. There was nothing wrong with
being yourself and she knew better than to let anyone else make you
think otherwise. Verity picked out a perfect little series of clothes
deciding that they'd do. She placed them on a chair and looked
towards Saki who approved of what she picked out saying that it was
nice. She blinked… everything she had chosen were either white or
black. Though it didn't take a genius to realise that that was all
that Saki wore. "Aren't you going to visit your mother,
Verity-san?" Damn it. Verity forgot about her mother. She didn't
think it important until now.
"Yes I will. I'll wait a couple
of days until I'm fully settled in." And with that Verity gave
one last smile before going out of the room once more.
