----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sohi sighed and leaned against the door. Why am I doing this? He asked himself. It'll only hurt me in the end. He let out a defeated sigh and listened to Kaori talk about him spending too much on her. He had a lot of money and no good use for it so why not spend it on her? He took up a contemplative face and headed for his bed once again, only to pass it and head for the desk with his laptop on it. If he was to respect her wishes, he would have to bargain hunt! He booted up 'Bobert' (the laptop was named after his grandfather who bought it for him) and began searching the net.
Kaori turned on the hot water and hopped in. She stood there for a minute enjoying the relaxing warm water falling over her. She couldn't remember the last time she had a nice shower. Before, she would bathe in a river or stream. The change felt nice.
After she washed and rinsed she turned off the water and wrung out her hair. She grabbed a towel and wrapped up her hair. She dried off and changed into the spare clothes Sohi had lent her. They were big and baggy but comfortable and warm. She unwrapped her hair and shook it out. She found a brush and made sure to get all the knots out. She left the bathroom and stretched for a minute. "Ahhh...that felt SOOO good." But then again, anything would feel better than a stream."
She began to walk and stopped. I never said goodnight to Sohi. I wonder if I should stop in and-- Her thoughts stopped. "-- I shouldn't. I've knocked on his door too many times tonight. But then again, it would be rude NOT to say goodnight to someone who has helped me out and taken me in... Hmm." After a moment of thinking she got an idea. "I'll go and check on him. If he's sleeping then I won't wake him. But if he's awake, then I'll say goodnight." At this she walked towards Sohi's room for the third time that night. Kaori was not one for invading privacy but she was not one for being rude either. She reached the door and gently turned the knob, trying not to make a sound. She opened the door slightly to see Sohi sitting at a desk. After seeing he was awake she rapped on the door once again and waited to be allowed in.
Sohi turned toward her with surprise. "Kaori...?" He asked, "What are you doing still up?"
"I'm sorry to disturb you again." Kaori entered the room and walked towards Sohi. When she was standing next to him she bent down and wrapped her arms around him. "I just wanted to say goodnight and--and for taking such good care of me." She looked up at him and smiled. "So goodnight and--" She leaned forwards and kissed Sohi on the cheek politely, "--and thanks for being such a good friend." She smiled again, gave Sohi one last hug then headed towards the door and turned around and bowed before she left.
Sohi watched her leave with a small blush on his cheeks, touching his face gently. 'She...kissed me...? He glanced back at the door and smiled softly. Maybe I made a good choice after all.
Kaori leaned against the wall next to Sohi's bedroom door with a smile on her face before heading downstairs. Once she found the couch she made herself comfortable and looked at the stars and moon through the window until she fell fast asleep.
Sohi turned back toward the laptop and glanced at the website. She deserves a good bed... So I'm going to get her one whether she likes it or not. He found a better site and continued to surf until his eyes began to droop. In fact, he didn't know exactly when he fell asleep, but the next thing he knew his face had fallen onto the keyboard and he had dozed into a peaceful slumber.
Sohi awoke with a start and fell off his chair with a loud bang. He whined as he sat up fully while rubbing his head. "What time is it...?" He muttered to himself as he pulled himself up. He scratched at his head and yawned as he headed for the door, searching blearily for the doorknob with his hand.
When Kaori heard the loud bang she sprinted for Sohi's room. I hope he's not hurt! I hope he's not hurt! She repeated in her head. She reached his door, grabbed the knob, and opened the door with such speed and force it almost (keyword almost) ripped it off the hinges. As she was opening the door Kaori yelled out to Sohi (thinking he was unconscious and badly hurt) hoping to hear a response from him. "SOHI! AREYOUOKIHEARDABANGANCAMEASFASTASICOULDAREYOUHURTAREYOUBLEEDING!" She yelled so fast, and in one breath not to mention, that she was slightly unsure if Sohi would understand, let alone respond.
Sohi blinked in surprise at her, looking confused and shocked as she shouted and looked at him with concern. He smiled at her sheepishly, "Yeah. I'm okay. I'm not hurt or bleeding." He lowered his hand and yawned again before blinking and looking about the hall. "What smells good?"
Kaori let out a long sigh of relief. "Whew. Glad your ok." She blushed when she realized that what she did was kind of embarrassing. She scratched the back of her head and smiled. "OH! I made pancakes for breakfast. That's what you smell. I hope you like them...it's a recipe my mother used to use." With that she motioned for him to follow her in to the kitchen before she walked out the door.
