Third Chapter- Doubts
"Tatsuro san?" Daisuke called out, but was answered by silence.
He stepped through a lighted hallway when suddenly an earsplitting sound echoed throughout the house.
Daisuke plugged his ears and gritted, while walking upstairs towards the sound.
He hesitatingly came closer to a closed room, leaning towards the door, the noise grew stronger.
He could make up a few words…
"Tonight! I'll be your naughty girl! I'm calling all my girls~"
Daisuke froze.
"Tatsuro san…?" he murmured, "Is that you?"
The noise stopped instantly.
"T-Tatsuro san?" He blurted at the door, confused.
-WHAM!!-
The door swung open with a well aimed karate kick.
Lorena stepped out angrily, wearing her pink bathrobe and fluffy flip-flops.
"T-Tatsuro san!" Daisuke called out alarmed. "I just wanted to return your sister's-…" He said as he backed away slowly.
Lorena stomped towards him, her eyes flaring.
Daisuke swallowed hard. Lorena grabbed him by the collar and shoved him against the wall, Daisuke gave a little squeal.
"WHAT - ARE - YOU - DOING – HERE???" she pronounced the words, as she threatened Daisuke with an unusually sharp comb.
"I-I just.." he mumbled helplessly. "Niwa kun?" a small voice came from behind Lorena.
"Tatsuro san!!" Daisuke called out with glee, still pressed against the wall.
"What are you doing here?" Mikako asked, feeling her cheeks reddening.
"I came to.." he struggled to escape Lorena's grip, who was still aiming the comb to his neck.
"I wanted to return your hockey stick" he explained and showed her the bat in his hand.
Mikako slapped her forehead and sighed. "Arigatou.." she bit her lip.
"Uhh.. Tatsuro san..?" he turned to face Lorena.
"Oh..!" she mumbled and let go of him.
Daisuke sighed in relief. He handed the bat to Mikako.
Lorena, that only then realized she was in her bathrobe, hurried across the hall to her room and shut the door after her.
Mikako nervously pulled on the tip of her shirt.
Daisuke shifted his weight from one leg to another uncomfortably, when finally-
"Niwa kun..!"
"Tatsuro san..!" They called at the same time.
They both became silent and stared at different directions.
"I think I better go now.." he turned to Mikako. She nodded in approval.
"Sore ja!" Daisuke quickly ran down the stairway.
Mikako waited until she heard the front door close, then covered her face with her hands and slid to the floor while giving a low moan. "Stupid, stupid, stupid" she bonked herself on the head with her hockey stick.
Lorena opened the door slowly "So..." she started, "Running away and leaving your glass sandal behind?" she said, smiling as she tried to make her sister feel a little better.
"Be quiet..." Mikako sighed, "That was the most embarrassing thing ever!" she flung her hands over her head, and landed backwards on the floor carpet.
"Well," Lorena remarked, "There was that time when you 'accidently' dropped your food tray on his backpack.." She pointed one finger out, "And that time you hit him with your flying math book.." she pointed another finger out, "Oh!" she chuckled, "And the time you--" "Those were accidents!!" Mikako protested.
Lorena gave her a silent look.
"Sure they were.." She grinned from ear to ear.
Mikako narrowed hey eyes at her twin, reaching for the bat. "Well, this won't be an accident..." Mikako gritted her teeth.
Lorena yelped while she hurried to shut the door in front of her, as she saw a swirling bat rushing towards her.
Daisuke strode in the direction of his home, kicking a small pebble along the way.
"What a hero.." Dark's bored voice echoed in Daisuke's head "What the hell was that all about?!" he snapped.
"What do you mean?" Daisuke asked baffled.
"You can't possibly be that naïve.." Daisuke could clearly hear a smirk as Dark said that.
Daisuke wrinkled his nose 'I'm not naive..' he thought angrily.
"Whatever you say, lover boy" Dark laughed.
Daisuke frowned, "come on Dark, what did you expect me to do? Lorena was threatening my life with a knife!"
Dark chuckled "it was a comb"
Daisuke's cheeks turned red as he mumbled "I don't have to listen to you"
"I guess it's for the best.." sighed Dark "Next time it's my turn" He said deviously.
Daisuke opened the door of his house, hearing his mother's high pitched voice welcoming him from the kitchen. He ignored Dark's comment and went to him room, fighting into his PJ, thinking about the red face Mikako Tatsuro. He couldn't help but smiling to himself, 'she is cute…face all red like that...maybe... I should...' He thought to himself, turning his head to the center of the room, where the light breeze flapped on the white sheet that covered his painting pedestal, semi-revealing Risa Harada's portrait.
Daisuke slowly blinked, falling into an uneasy slumber.
