CHAPTER11:

A NEW FEELING INSIDE.

Picking out clothes for Tasuki she managed to get Hori to get a few shirts for himself too.

She was just looking at a few tops for herself in the casual wear store when Tasuki walked out in a pair of cream chinos and a white shirt. Arwen looked up and stopped breathing for a minute. "Damn, he looks hot." She muttered as he stood there checking his clothes out in the mirror. No don't think of him like that. Don't ever give anyone that special place again. Promises remember?

She snapped out of it when he spoke up. "SO waddya say?"

"Oh. You look great Tasuki." She walked up to him.
"I don't think so. I don't think this collar thing is too good."

"No, no. Let me." She stood behind him and putting her arms around him she straightened his collar the right way. "Oh I see." He nodded "Now this looks better." She smiled as she flattened other creases on the shirt slowly, but she lost herself in just half holding him like this.

At first he was too busy checking out his shirt to realize that she was actually holding him lost in though from the back. But then he realized she was hugging him, somehow he didn't feel like he was being crowded, like he would have, but he liked it though it felt new.

He knew this new feeing inside was here to stay. He knew it would be like this every time he talked to her. He looked at her face in the mirror, and noticed her eyes were glazed as if she was thinking back.

Hori just walked back into the store when he did a double take and froze seeing Arwen and Tasuki like this in front of the mirror. Overcoming his first shock, he smiled as he realized two things. He has changed a lot, that will help us with his true love and stuff, but…he looked at Arwen, maybe she can play that part nicely in his life…she's a great choice though. I only hope…

"Are ya okay Arwen?" Tasuki asked softly. She snapped out of her thoughts, "what!" then she realized she was holding him. Turning really red with embarrassment she quickly stepped away. "This is a perfect choice Tasuki, take It." She said before he could ask her anything else as he turned around.

"Done already? That's a good choice Tasuki." Hori walked up to them. Arwen smiled and put her hand through his.
"I've maxed out my credit card, but hey all the clothes ya got are great," Hori smiled as they walked out with their hands loaded with bags. She wouldn't take no for an answer though Tasuki objected to buying so many clothes. She wanted him to get all that suited him. And Hori didn't seem to mind.

"To Reeds?" she asked stopping in front of a malt shop. "Why not?" Hori shrugged.

Introducing the new American food apart from the native and other eatables and beverages to Tasuki they had a blast just talking the time away. At least Hori and Arwen did.

Suddenly she stood up looking at her watch. "Oh shit! Is that the time. I really must run you guys. See ya later."
"Some where in a hurry I suppose?" Hori asked as he got up as well.
"Yeah. Anya's moving in with me; I must help her move her things in." she hastily picked up things.
"What that girl you bumped into. She's moving into your apartment already after one meeting?" he was surprised.

"Wrong. You met her once. I've been with her all these days, and she's a really good friend now, I needed to sublet my place. She needed a place she could study properly, I was also getting lonely." She shrugged. "See ya. Have lots to do."

Tasuki stood up. She stopped. "Why- uh- why don't we help the girls out Hori?" he turned to Hori who was standing dead shocked.
"Are you offering to help?" she asked really shocked as well.

"Hey I am a good guy too ya know. Ya helped out great with the clothes and stuff…so why not?" she smiled at him and nodded. "Thanks a bunch." When they got to the apartment all the three stood shocked at seeing the number of boxes. "SO many boxes!" Tasuki exclaimed.

"What does this girl have for things anyway…" Arwen walked through the sea of boxes.
"CD's! Reports. Files! Does she have anything else?" Hori said as he read from the labels on the boxes.

That was when Anya walked out. "Oh hi guys!" she waved forgetting she was holding a box of stationery in her hands catching it just before it hit the ground.

"Heh. Just got carried away."
Arwen smiled. "Of course dear. You know Mr. Hori here. That is Mr. Tasuki there. He's a friend of Mr. Hori and I. He's new here." She smiled at the two of them. Then the guys helped out moving the boxes from one apartment to the other.

Finally they plopped back into the plush couch in Arwen's apartment.
"Let me make you guys something to drink as a thank you." Anya stood up.

"Indian coffee for me ma." Arwen closed her eyes as she sat leaning into her beanbag.
"Indian way of making coffee. It's the same stuff but different method." Anya explained.
"Just a soft drink thanks. But something strong." Tasuki said and She nodded.

"Why don't I help you?" Hori walked in after sometime. "It's really okay."
"So when will you be coming with me?" he asked leaning on the counter.
"Excuse me?" she looked up shocked.

"I mean to class, with us." He corrected himself but he was still entranced by her face's innocence to keep staring at her. He watched all she did with utmost curiosity and in a state of trance. He knew he liked her the first time he saw her but he couldn't help but stare at her now.

"All done." She smiled as she finished, "could you get me some biscuits from there please." He was lost in her smile.

Tasuki shook himself again. Stop feeling bad about this, you don't like this girl. She likes him. Arwen opened her eyes and eyed him. "You okay?'

"Fine." He muttered. She closed her eyes again. Before he could start thinking how beautiful she looked or that he had indeed seen her somewhere before he spoke up.

"Uh- Arwen. Thanks." She blinked. "What for?"
"Helping me out the whole day, it means a lot to me." He smiled.
"That's what friends are for." She shrugged. He was surprised. "We're friends already? There we'd still be strangers under a day and-."

" You're not there are you? But it's fine if you don't want to be friends with me-"
"No, no!" he cut her off surprising himself. "I'd really like that."

"Great I love it when I have more friends. Your clothes are great by the way. I love the blue shirt."
"I like the red one." She stood up and pulled up the red shirt he was talking about.

"Stand up." When he did so eyeing her suspiciously, she pulled his shirt off him, leaving him standing in his tee shirt. "What the hell are you doing?"

"Get into this." She helped him into the red shirt. Then tuning him around she began to roll his sleeves up.
That was when Hori and Anya walked out of the kitchen. Hori almost dropped the plate with shock. Was that Tasuki standing there in front of her letting her do his sleeves so obediently? He'd have rather crisped her with his Tessen! Maybe I was right about the two of them together. My purpose isn't lost. She maybe the one for him. But he also looked at Anya. And she maybe the one for me.

"What?" the other two asked at the same time surprising the other, Hori and Anya nodded, "Nothing." Arwen turned back to Tasuki and they shrugged at the same time again as she did his other sleeve.

"How is this?" she turned him to face them when she finished.
"Great choice Mr. Tasuki." Anya smiled.

Arwen sat down next to Anya and pulled out another cute pink bell sleeve top with sakura flowers on it. "What do you think about this?
"Very sweet." Anya smiled. "Lovely."

"Honey. I got this for you, as a welcome home present." She smiled.
"Thank you so much Ari! I love it!" Anya couldn't help but hug her friend tight.

After much more talking the guys left and Anya left to put her room straight.
She suddenly heard a vroom from nearby. Out of curiosity she looked out the balcony only to see a person in full black leather driving suit, helmet on a big black bike. Before she could blink the bike took off leaving no trace but dust.

She was impressed by the speed but she also noted the physique of the person. She went in after the rider disappeared from the street, reminding her self to ask Arwen about this person the next day.

"But who is he?" Tasuki puzzled as he shut the window that night after watching the bike pass his apartment. "And why this time of the night to ride of all times?"
