Chapter 2
Jealousy
Yui walked around the manor and bumped into Azusa who walked in from the garden and smiled at him. Little did she know that Kou was watching with a tinge of hatred for the vampire with the scissor hands. He also had a liking for Yui, cursing every step Azusa made.
What does Yui see in him? I'm an idol! Kou thought. He walked over to her and touched her hair, "M-Neko-Chan~"
She turned around frantically and looked into his eyes, "Huh?"
He sang his next words happily to her, "I learned a new song today! Want to hear it? You did say to keep you posted when it came to my music!"
"Oh, right. Okay."
She followed Kou up to his room and sat on his bed as he smiled lightly and took out a Keytar, opening his mouth and playing it rythmically, "Oh my Neko darling, you're just like red velvet or sweet melted chocolate -you caught my damaged eye~" Yui blushed and he smirked, continuing, "Im drowning in your embrace, your sweetness becoming mine~"
She laid down on the bed and he sat near her leaning over her, "Oh darling will our journey be nigh? I'm your sweet devil, you know this neko, so dance with me under the sky~"
Her eyes glanced up at him and he sang until her face was dyed a crimson red. Kou laid his Keytar next to her and ran his fingers through her soft locks, "You're so cute M-Neko-Chan." A soft whine of embarrassment escaped her lips and he stroked her cheek, "What's wrong?"
"N-nothing."
She pushed him off and ran towards the doors, leaving him dumbfounded and confused. A vase fell off a side table as she accidently kicked the tableleg with her foot. Her hand flew to her mouth and she gasped. She didn't mean to knock it over, it was an accident.
"Oh no oh no oh no! Ruki's going to kill me!"
She picked up the pieces of the vase and a shard cut her finger. It stung really badly and she stuck her bloodied finger in her mouth.
A soft voice spoke near her, "Eve."
Yui looked over to see Azusa sitting next to her. "Can you help me?" Azusa nodded and carefully picked up the shards of glass, holding them like puzzle pieces in his hand and walked them to the kitchen wastebin. She followed after him, "We can't fix it?"
He shook his head no and threw the shards of the elaborate pottery in the trash, then looked at her, "Can you...get a large...pitcher...?"
She nodded and found the pitcher Yuma would usually use to make iced tea, setting it on the counter. Azusa picked it up and filled it with water. Yui kept her hands on the bottom of the pitcher, so it didn't slip from his shears. Afterwards, they took it to the sidetable where the vase used to be. He looked at Yui, then down at the mess of roses on the floor. She smiled nervously and picked up the roses, organizing them in a certain way in the pitcher so they wouldn't wilt.
Her eyes stole a glance at Azusa, "Thank you."
"You're...welcome..."
She smiled and picked up his arm, wrapping it around her and hugged him tightly. He blushed at the gesture and did his best to hug her back without cutting ger again. Her voice whispered softly into his collarbone, "I really like you Azusa."
He blushed more and stayed silent. There wasn't a single thing he could think of to say to her. He was still unsure about his feelings towards her, though he hoped she didn't get the wrong idea from how silent he was being.
"It's okay. You don't have to say anything. I can tell you're shocked."
He had no idea how she could possibly read him so well, but he decided not to question it and closed his eyes, relaxing his tense muscles and hugged her closer. Her eyes widened and she smiled slightly. Please don't let me go. Yui thought, as she leaned her head against the collar of his shirt.
