Chapter 9 Trapped With Who?

Naomi's POV

"So, what do you want to do this weekend?" Haru asked as he leaned in for another kiss. We were standing at my doorway; Haru was just leaving.

"Didn't I tell you? I joined the school play. I have practice, and then I have to work. Maybe after school sometime?" I suggested. I was part of the crew of the school play, and I loved it- even more so than I loved my job as a librarian at the local library for kids. I was in charge of story hour. And, I owed it all to Haru.

"Sure, I'll call you or talk to you during school," he nodded, understanding that I had a full load on my shoulders. He pecked me on the lips one last time before leaving. I waved after him, and he waved over his shoulder without turning around; he knew me so well.

Haru was my first real boyfriend. He was actually a lot of firsts for me. My first passionate, really cared about me type of kiss. The first person who seemed to understand my past and didn't judge me about it. He was the first person to really, truly, honestly love me, and he was the first person I let my heart go to since my parents' death.

Sometimes I thought Haru knew me better than I knew myself. He knew what to do when I was angry, sad, depressed, or happy. He knew how to take care of me. He just knew so much about me that it would seem that we had known each other our wholes lives instead of a weeks.

Smiling as I closed the door, I ran up to my room, grabbed my bag, and was about to leave for practice when Kyo called after me to wait. I stopped at the door and turned and waited for him.

He rushed down the stairs and flew out the door in front of me. "I'm a crew member too," he explained as I was wondering to myself where he was off to and why he wanted me to wait for him. We hadn't really been speaking since he caught my and Haru's make-out session.

I raised my eyebrows, my eyes went wide with shock; skeptical. Kyo didn't seem like the kind of person who would help out at the school play; maybe the guy who crashed it.

"Tohru said that I needed to do something, You know, channel my anger in a creative outlet, or some nonsense like that. I only help out when needed. Usually, I just play cards other people who aren't doing anything," he admitted grudgingly, shrugging his shoulders.

I chuckled at the thought of Tohru trying to get Kyo to 'find a creative outlet.' It was quite entertaining.

"What's so funny?" he asked defensively, ready to argue with whatever I said. It was weird how he just automatically assumed it was going to be something bad. Was his past as hard as mine was?

"Tohru has you wrapped around her finger," I shrugged nonchalantly. It was as plain as the nose on his face, as my father had said.

"What are you getting at?" his eyes narrowed at me and his nose flared out, almost in the same manner as Haru's.

"Are you stupid? All I'm saying is that I know you have a secret crush on her," I grinned, shaking my head at his obvious stupidity.

Kyo's POV

"Are you crazy?" I yelled at her, frowning in frustration. Where had she come up with that load of crap? I wanted to bang my head against a wall and yell No, dummy, I have a secret crush on you! But, I knew if I did, I would only scare her away.

I had joined the crew of the play when I learned she was doing it. Sure, Tohru may have suggested my going out, but she definitely wasn't the reason why. I figured my being on the crew would be a great way to spend time with Naomi when her and Haru weren't lip-locked. My plan? To win Naomi over. But, how she came to the conclusion that I liked Tohru was beyond me.

"But, you're out of luck," Naomi broke my thoughts. "She's Yuki's. And, if you try to come between them, I will have to kill you." she smiled to let me know that she was teasing.

"I don't like Tohru like that," I shook my head. "That's just too weird to think about. You need to get your facts straight before you start firing your mouth off."

"Well, excuse me for speculating! Not like you have any room to talk My. Angry-All-the-Time! You are so hard to have a decent conversation with!" with that, she stormed off, leaving to trail behind her.

I wanted to yell back, but I suddenly found myself staring at her miniskirt, which showed off her long, lean, muscular legs. The spaghetti strap shirt only showed off the muscles in her arms, which was a big turn on for me. I even loved her red and black hair that matched her fiery personality so well. She was just so dang hot!

Naomi's POV

I was fuming from Kyo's and my argument when we arrived at the school. Ugh! We could never have a decent conversation without one of us going off on the other. We were just too much alike, our tempers anyway. I would love to at least be friends with him; I hated always being angry, but it didn't look like that was what he wanted.

I pushed him out of my mind, shoving him into the farthest depths of the abyss of my mind, as I entered the gym, where we were practicing today, leaving Kyo so I could start my job. I was in charge of making sure everything was being done properly and helping at where I was needed.

The first half an hour went by smoothly. The practice was going well, and I kept myself too busy to think about Kyo. But, then of course, someone always has to ruin it.

"Can you go get me some scissors and glue?" the props designer asked me since his assistant was busy at the moment, and I was the only one available.

"Uh, sure. Be back in a flash," I nodded as I headed to the storage closet in the back. I searched through every shelf and every drawer, but there were no scissors or glue. They must be occupied at the moment.

I decided to head to the school's supply room, the one the teachers used. The door was open, and I nearly bumped into Kyo, but I caught myself and spun around him. He was rummaging around for something and didn't seem to notice me until he heard the creak of the door as I began to shut it.

"Don't close the door all the-" he said frantically, but I cut him off when I shut the door.

Kyo sighed. "Well, it's locked. We're stuck n here until someone comes and gets us."

"What?!" I asked hysterically as I tried the knob for myself. Groaning in defeat, I slid to the floor. How long would we be trapped in here? A few hours? Until school on Monday?

We sat in silence- a very awkward silence. My mind started wandering since there was nothing to distract me. Why was he so defensive? Why was he always angry? Even now, I realized he looked angry.

This felt wrong somehow, like, I was cheating on Haru by being here. I knew I would never do anything to hurt Haru intentionally, but I couldn't help the feeling that came over me.

"This feels like the game 7 Minutes in Heaven," Kyo commented, breaking the silence only to add to the awkwardness.

"You know how to play that game?" I asked surprised, then realized how I must have sounded. "I mean, you don't seem like the type of person that would is all."

"Ya, I've played before. It's really a common game," he shrugged as if it was no big deal.

I accepted his answer, and we fell silent again. I sighed. All I wanted was for someone to find us. Would Haru come looking for me? Probably.

"So, have you ever played before?" Kyo asked suddenly; he kept his gaze forward on the shelves.

I frowned, "Played what?"

"Seven Minutes in Heaven."

"Oh. Yes, I have."

"Want to play it now?" he asked nervously. He fidgeted with the buttons at the bottom of his shirt.

I frowned. "But, we would always get each other." I felt really stupid, but he wasn't making a lot of sense. Unless…

"That's kind of the point," he looked directly into my eyes. I could only gaze back.

I hope you liked it. Please review!
