:Chapter Six: Mutual Feelings::

ZANDi wakes up in her bed, confused on how she got there, and headed downstairs at 9:00 sharp, still in her nightgown. She walked into the kitchen to find Hita walking around, shirtless, trying to find something to eat.

ZANDi::blushes: good morning Hita

Hita: oh good morning be-ZANDi

ZANDi: whatcha doin'?

Hita: looking for some breakfast

ZANDi: oh I see, um Hita?

Hita: yeah?

ZANDi: umm well you see, since the fire I haven't had a bath and my hair is getting all icky, so I was wondering if I could take a bath or shower.

Hita::shocked: of course you can, remember, I told you that your living with me. You don't need to ask if you can take a shower, there's a few bathrooms throughout the house, the biggest one you have to go through my room to get to it, your welcome to use any of them. The shampoo, conditioner and stuff like that are in the cabinet. Towels are in there too.

ZANDi: okay :hugs Hita: thanks again

ZANDi decides that she wants to take a bath so she looks around in each of the bathrooms and decides that she was going to use the one next to Hita's room; the biggest one. She went in there, turned the radio and the water on and walked out into the hall to find her "materials". she browses through the selection of scented and non-scented shampoos and finally chooses strawberries and cream, so she picked up her things and headed for her bath. It almost was ready so she started to undress and gets into the hot bath. The water comes up to about 6 inches above her waist. She leans against the back of the tub and just relaxes, remembering the dream she had that night…

:FLASHBACK:

ZANDi sits upright in bed to face a blonde glowing figure.

ZANDi: Yusa?

Yusa: well the last time I checked that was who I am.

ZANDi: what are you doing here? I thought you died,

Yusa: I did, and I still am, but I know that something has been troubling you, now tell me, what is it?

ZANDi::sighs: well recently, I think that ive been falling for your fiancé

Yusa: so?

ZANDi: he was your fiancé, and you told me to let him know that your okay, not to fall in love with him… and he'll never love me, he's never gotten over you, and I don't blame him either.

Yusa: is that what this is all about?

ZANDi: yeah…I feel really guilty about loving him.

Yusa: so what? Are you asking permission to love him or something?

ZANDi: no…I just…I didn't ask you to come here…you came here on your own free will…

Yusa: look I don't care if you love him…you cant help it. And if he doesn't move on he'll be miserable. You'll be good for each other, now take care ZANDi. Goodbye

And with that ZANDi woke up with sweat beads all over her face.

:END FLASHBACK:

ZANDi just sighs and closes her eyes.

ZANDi: I hope that's true…

:-:Hita's P.O.V:-:

Hita is sitting on the front porch drinking his sake. He sighed, After a while of no ZANDi, things were getting really boring! He soon decided to gather his things, and tell her to hurry up so they could go up town. Eventually he headed upstairs and through his room to the bathroom she was in. he knocked on the door. No answer. He knocked again. Still no answer.

Hita: hey, ZANDi? Are you alright?

No answer. Hita opened the door just to see ZANDi, completely naked in the bathtub. He stares for a few moments, but once his mind confirmed what he saw, he turned away, blushing.

Hita: oh my god! Im so sorry ZANDi! You didn't answer when I knocked so I thought something was wrong and…ZANDi?

No answer

Hita::thinks to self: oh great…I got her mad at me, so mad that she's not even willing to talk to me. Wow that was awkward…but she is nicely proportioned…wait! no! what am I thinking! She's a friend! Nothing more! I don't care what Yusa said…there's no way that she loves me…well she may think she does but she doesn't…at least not as much as I'd like her to. :sighs: why do I feel like this? All I know is I feel like a moron.' im sorry again ZANDi.

Hita turns and walks into his library, which is right next to his room, to think about what just happened. About an hour later ZANDi walks into the library, wearing a pink slip, with her hair still damp, in search for Hita. She finally seen him sitting in a chair by a lamp reading a book. She walks up behind him, wraps her arms around his neck and whispers in his ear.

ZANDi: so. Did you like the view?

Then she giggled, turned and walked into the hallway, smirking and thinking to herself,

ZANDi: 'well that should have caught his attention'

:Hita's P.O.V:

Goosebumps went down his spine as soft skinned arms snaked around his neck and the warm words that floated into his ear made him drop the book he was mindlessly flipping through. But when he turned, ZANDi was already walking off.

Hita: 'what the hell?' :gets out of chair: 'isnt she mad at me?' :he remembers the feel of her arms around his neck and the feel of her warm breath and he shuddered again: apparently not…is there a chance that what yusa said was true?…well im gonna find out. If its not true…well then I suppose im ready for the worst.'

Hita walks out of the library and see's her walking down the hall so he walks a tad faster till he is right behind her. He turns her around by her shoulders, pushes her against the wall and kisses her. After a few moments, he presses his body against hers, and as small gasp escapes the young girl, Hita slips his tongue in her mouth. ZANDi wraps her arms around his neck as she loses herself in her first kiss. After a few moments, Hita ends the kiss and covers ZANDi's mouth.

Hita: Shh, just let me talk. Im sorry but I just couldn't help myself…since the fire, ive realized that I've fallen in love with you. Im not sure how you feel towards me, and ill understand if you hate me, im okay with anything you decide.

He turns to walk away but is stopped by ZANDi, who grabbed his hand. He turns back around to see ZANDi just standing there grinning. She wraps her arms around his neck.

ZANDi: how could I hate you::she grins then kisses him again:
