Chapter 3: The Puppet Date
Izumo couldn't help but smirk in satisfaction as she watched the couples leave. She could already see in her mind's eye Rin and Bon getting together. Shima and Yukio would probably be a tad harder but at least they were going out on a date by themselves. Maybe Yukio would loosen up a bit and actually notice the way Shima looked at him.
"Those idiots." She muttered under her breath.
Sometimes she couldn't help but want to smack them on their heads to get their brains going. Not that that it would work or that it would actually bring them to the right direction. Boys were to dense for that to work.
"Hey, eyebrows! What the hell are we doing this for?"
The voice made Izumo jump in surprise. She had completely forgotten that she'd have a date too. She glanced over at the short blond boy with a pink puppet bunny on his hand. "I just felt like getting a few people together. You can go back to your dorm since my plan worked like a charm." She folded her arms across her chest and glared at Takara.
The bunny tilted to the side, almost in contemplation. It showed more character than the human holding it in all honesty. "Do I annoy you?"
Izumo huffed. "Of course you're annoying! And can't you talk without using that puppet already?!"
For some reason, it felt like the puppet was smirking. "I will not. You got me as your 'date', now you're stuck with me."
Izumo glared down at him before huffing again. "Fine, lets-"
Takara cut her off. "Oh no you don't. I'll be the one deciding what we will be doing, not you eyebrows."
Izumo could feel her face burn. "You bastard-"
But before she could really set off, Takara cut her off. "A movie."
"What?" Izumo sputtered.
"What do you mean 'what?'? Are you deaf or something? I said that we're going to watch a movie. A scary one."
"Why? Do you like me or something?" Her eyes narrowed.
Takara laughed. "Nope." He sounded delighted to say it.
Izumo ground out, her hands twitched. She really wanted to strangle him. "Then why don't you just leave?"
The bunny got extremely close to her face. "Because you find me annoying!" He sounded entirely too smug for Izumo's liking.
"Are you serious?!" Izumo exclaimed in frustration.
The puppet bunny was tilted to the side once more. "Of course, I'm always serious."
"You're an asshole!"
"And?" As Izumo sputtered, Takara let out a mean sounding chuckle. "Come on. I know the perfect movie."
As he walked away, Izumo decided to ditch him. He wouldn't notice until it was too late. With a nod, Izumo turned, prepared to hightail it outta there.
Something grabbed her arm the grip tight. "Oh no you don't. Now play nice. This was your idea after all." Takara said and dragged her with him. He completely ignored her cursing.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Izumo was plopped unceremoniously on to the seat in the very middle of the theatres. Takara hadn't let go of her arm and it didn't seem like he would do it any time soon either.
For the moment, Izumo decided to ignore the idiot. Instead she studied the theater room. So far, it was only her and the creep. To be honest, the empty place made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. She grimaced and reluctantly turned to her only human contact. "When does this thing start?"
The puppet came up to her eye level. It tilted slightly to the left as if it was studying her. After a few seconds, Takara replied. "The lights should go out in about... now."
Izumo couldn't help but jump slightly as the lights indeed turned off and the screen started to slowly lighten.
"Wait, where is everybody?"
"It seems we are everybody." Takara replied and then the puppet was turned to face the screen.
Izumo couldn't stop the shiver that went up and down her spine. Suddenly her brilliant plan... Didn't seem to be such a good idea after all.
The movie started and after ten minutes of restlessness, Izumo began to calm down. So far nothing had happened. No one else had walked into the theater room but at least nothing had happened. She didn't know why she felt it, but she knew something was going to happen.
The movie was typical in the fact that there was a group of friends daring each other to go to a supposedly haunted house and explore it in pairs. So far all they'd found was random rooms with creepy things but nothing scary. At least not yet. Izumo was pretty sure that one of the groups would lose a member and another group would start running for their lives in a minute.
Just then, it felt like something was crawling up her shoulder. Izumo froze. Slowly, she peeked out of the corner of her eyes.
Nothing.
There was nothing there. Izumo let the breath that she hadn't known that she'd been holding in, out and turned back to the screen.
A few minutes later, the feeling returned. This time, Izumo lifted her hand and brushed it off. The movie was getting more frightening. A masked man had appeared and dragged one of the snotty girls off. Another girl had tripped down the stairs and was lying unconscious at the bottom.
She felt something tug at her hair.
Izumo snapped her attention to her right. Nothing was there.
"What's the matter? Scared?"
Izumo heard a chuckle from her left and she scowled. "I am not! Shut up and watch the movie!"
The girl resolutely kept her eyes locked on the movie. Every time she felt something brush against her, she ignored it. Or tried to. She couldn't help the way that her body was ready to spring up and attack. Or run away, though she'd never admit to that last one.
The movie ended and they walked back towards the dorms. They sky was yet dark, but it was getting there. Izumo couldn't help but feel a little jumpy at the shadows behind the shadows.
"This is stupid!" Izumo muttered to herself, eyes darting from left to right.
Suddenly, there was a giggle right next to her ear and something grabbed her leg before letting go.
"Ahh!" Izumo pushed herself away and looked around wildly. "What the hell was that?!"
Takara stayed quiet but Izumo could sense amusement coming from him.
"Was that you?!" She demanded, fright turning to anger.
"It was. Wasn't that exciting, eyebrows? I had you jumping at shadows."
"Y-you asshole!" Izumo screeched, hand raised, ready to smack the living daylights out of Takara. The only thing that made her hesitate was she didn't know whether to hit the bunny first or his face.
