Chapter 6: Our Dirty Little Secret
The first week of Saya's awakening flew by astoundingly fast. Every few days she would drink from a blood packet rather than drinking Haji's blood. That was, until Julia returned from her trip. She and Haji were typically in the apartment, their most popular activity, that not to be seen in public.
This morning was just another morning the Queen could cherish without any interruptions, resting underneath the covers with her Chevalier. She stirred in her sleep and finally awoke.
Half-conscious, she moaned softly, "That felt so good, Haji..."
Haji loved the amount of pleasure her voice carried and simply smiled.
There was a knock at the door.
"Otanashi? Are you there?" a voice, recognized as Mao's shouted out from the hall.
Saya lifted her head and slammed it into the headboard of the bed, groaning, "You've got to be kidding me."
The cellist motioned for her to rest. He slipped into his boxers under the privacy of the covers and started on a hunt for the rest of his clothes. Within a minute, he was at the door, answering it.
A woman appearing around Kai's age, with graying brown hair and hazel eyes stood in front of him.
"Morning Haji! Kai told me Saya was staying here. Right?" Mao interrogated.
"Saya is asleep at the moment," he smoothly responded.
"It's alright Haji, just let her come in," the red Queen forfeited as she approached the two, fully clothed.
"But, Saya–" he rejected.
She put a hand to his cheek and whispered, "Later, I promise."
"What are you two whispering about?" Mao asked.
She blushed and quickly denied, "Nothing at all."
"Anyway, I've been here for two days and I haven't seen you! Why is that, Otanashi?"
"I've been busy, that's all." She had to restrain her hand from slapping her forehead after realizing how ridiculous that comment sounded.
"Oh, I see," Mao spoke with a suspicious tone. An evil grin marked her face while she observed the couple. "Well, sorry for interrupting. Come by Omoro when you finish doing… whatever, okay?"
"Y-Yeah, sure," Saya stammered uncomfortably.
The woman left shutting the door behind her.
"Oww."
"What is wrong, Saya?" Haji inquired, concerned yet startled by her sudden reaction.
"My head hurts."
Even though unwilling, the two arrived at Omoro that morning shortly after Mao left.
Kai was at the counter when they entered. "Hey Sa – whoa, why is there a bruise on your forehead?"
Before Saya could respond, Mao interrupted, "Hey Otanashi! Glad you came!"
The twins descended the stairs in their pajamas, rubbing the weariness from their eyes with their fists. Lulu followed them down the steps, energetic as always.
"The whole crew is gathering here today. They cut their vacation short to come see you," her adoptive brother announced.
"That's great!" Saya exclaimed excitedly. Regardless of being upset about the morning, she could not deny wanting to see all of her friends.
Around a half hour later, Julia, her son Joshua, Lewis, and his fiancée all arrived at Omoro with tans and summer clothes. Joel made his appearance an hour after with David wheeling him through the front door. The day was long and somewhat confusing for Saya. There were too many stories on top of what Kai already told her to keep track of.
It was nighttime when the entire team was gathered downstairs, some still eating, and others finished. Saya tugged on Haji's sleeve.
"Follow me," she planned in a hushed tone.
As ordered, the Chevalier bewilderedly followed his Queen up the stairs with the others left unaware of their whereabouts. She continued to pad down the hallway. Abruptly, she opened the closet door, shoved him inside, and closed it behind herself.
Alarmed, Haji began to shout, "Say– "
She put a finger to his lips and stated, "I'm fulfilling my promise."
Passionately, she crashed her lips into his. His body was forced back into the coats and he slid down the wall, landing on a pile of shoes and not breaking their kiss. She crawled on top of him while positioning herself in his lap.
He moaned feeling her hot tongue against his. His bandaged hand wandered up her thigh, the other, up her shirt from the back.
"Saya? Haji? Where are you guys?" several of their friends called out.
Resting her bruised forehead against Haji's, Saya sighed irritably and let out a low hiss. An awkward moment was bound to occur if they were to just walk out of a closet together.
"Now what?" she muttered to him.
"They will have to assume we left," Haji presumed, still quite preoccupied and biting her bare shoulder gently.
"Well now we look impolite," she remarked bitterly. "Do you think we could find some other way out? You know… like lying? Air vents? Something?"
"Perhaps," he surmised.
The two spoke amongst themselves, plotting a plan for their escape. Within a matter of minutes, Saya poked her head out of the closet door while Haji hid in the shadows of the closet… and behind a few coats.
Kai strode by the closet and saw Saya's head. "What… are you doing?"
"I was looking for some of my old coats. Autumn is coming closer and the climate's dropping," she sheepishly lied.
"Oh, find any?" he asked.
"Yup!" she said triumphantly. Haji quickly handed her the first coat that looked appropriate to belong to a girl. "See?"
"That's my coat."
"Er… yeah of course it is! The closet's just a little dark. Let's go back downstairs, okay?" she suggested, pelting Haji in the face with the feminine coat.
"Alright," he agreed. He wrapped an arm across her shoulder as they began to walk. "Say, where's Haji anyway?"
"In the... bathroom?"
"Since when did he go to the bathroom?"
"No wonder you can't find a wife. Don't take note of people's bathroom patterns," Saya scolded jokingly.
That was the Chevalier's cue to make a trip to the bathroom, flush the toilet, and join the others downstairs again. Few acknowledged his return, Saya being one of the few. Impatient, she said her goodbyes to everyone, grabbed him by the arm, and made her way home.

I had a little bit of fun with this chapter XD
Some of you have been asking if this will eventually have a plot to be followed and the answer is no. I will probably be making another story with a plot I have in mind right now.
