Will she stay or leave?
Chapter 4
Kohana yawns softly while walking towards the bathroom.
"Mmm…tomorrow will be interesting" She whispers to herself, walking past Ryoma's room.
"Where are you going Kohana-chan?" Ryoma asks looking up from his bed while bouncing a tennis ball with his racket.
"Going to take a shower" Kohana says before walking into the bathroom. She hums softly while she pulls out two towels, and a wash cloth. She turns on the water and adjusts it to her liking, which is really hot. She then strips down and steps into the shower. She lets the water hit her back and then stands in front of it, getting her hair wet. She reaches over to the side and grabs the shampoo. She then rubs it in her hair. After that she grabs a razor and shaves her legs and armpits. After that she rinses off the hair and the shampoo. Kohana stretches slightly before putting in the conditioner; she then grabs the wash cloth and put body wash on it. She rubs herself down, making sure to get every part of her body. She steps forward and lets the stuff get washed away.
She steps out of the shower and wraps her hair in a towel, then wraps the other towel around her body. The white, fluffy towel covered her breast all the way to her thighs; the rest of her skin was visible. She walks out the door and heads towards her room. She quickly dries herself off and puts on black sweat pants, a blue buttoned up silky pj shirt, and some slippers.
She then gets up and walks over to Ryoma's room. Once she arrives she notices the door was closed. She tilts her head to the side before knocking on the door three times. Knock knock knock.
"Who is it?" Ryoma calls through the door while petting Karupin.
"It's me, Kohana!" Kohana says loudly. She then hears footsteps and here's a click. She yawns softly and rubs her eyes gently before looking up to see Ryoma standing in front of her.
"Whatcha want?" He asks moving to the side for her to come in, "Want to come in?" Kohana smiles brightly and nods before stepping in. Ryoma then shuts the door and walks over to his bed. He waves her over before sitting down.
"Hmm, just wanted to talk…" She says shrugging slightly and sitting next to him.
"Oh, about what?" Ryoma asks looking at her, smiling softly.
"I…just want to know if you actually like me being your manager…" She whispers softly.
"What was that?" Ryoma asks tilting his head to the side.
"If you like me being your manager" She says louder looking down. Ryoma smiles softly and sets his hand on her head.
"Of course I like you being the manager" He says with a smirk, "After all…I'll be able to show everyone how much of a baby you are!" She pouts and sticks her tongue out at him.
"I'm not a cry baby!" She whines crossing her arms over her chest.
"You sure about that? You sure seem like one" He whispers in her ear with his arms wrapped around her.
"A-ah! R-Ryo-kunnn" She says blushing. He chuckles and leans back on his headboard.
"What? Never been hugged by me?" He asks teasingly.
"Y-you surprised me that's all" Kohana says pouting, "You would have been surprised too!"
"Mhmm…" He says shrugging slightly before laying down, "Don't forget to brush your hair"
"Alright, I'm gonna go now, I have a big day tomorrow" Kohana says standing up and kissing Ryoma's cheek softly, "Nighty night!" She then quickly runs out of the room, shutting the door.
Once she arrives in her room she closes the door and blushes brightly.
"W-why did I blush back there? W-why am I blushing now?" She asks looking in her mirror.
"I couldn't like him…" She thought while taking her hair out of the towel, "I couldn't…he's my best friend nothing more right?" She then starts to brush her hair and sighs, "What if I do like him? H-he doesn't like me like that…he's probably only teasing me! Plus, he's been in Japan for awhile without me…he probably already has a girl he likes…" Kohana looks at herself in the mirror and gasps, seeing a tear run down her cheek.
Meanwhile, Ryoma was laying down on his bed sighing.
"Kohana-chan….. She's just so strange…" He whispers to himself, "I can't help but touch her at least once when I see her" He then rolls to his side and sighs, "Maybe if I do something to… get her out of my mind" He then slowly drifts off to sleep.
The next morning he went down stairs to see Kohana dressed in the uniform, her bangs straightened and her other curly.
"Morning Ryo-kun" She says looking up from a book she was reading.
"Morning" He says sitting down at the table and starts to eat. Kohana stares at him from the corner of her eye before sighing remembering the call she got last night.
Flashback
Kohana was sitting on the bed sighing softly, thinking about all the times she and Ryoma had together. She then started to think about her decreased family.
"Dad…mom…I miss you" She whispers biting her lip, refusing to cry. She remembers when they went to the park when she was five, when they went to a play together, when she had her friends over for a sleep over, the first time she played tennis with her mother and father, the first time she cooked cookies with her mother, and then…their deaths.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang and she answered it, bringing it up to her ear.
"Hello?" She says softly while her eyes closed.
"Heh, is this Kohana?" A man's voice said on the other side of the line. Kohana freezes, her hand then starts to shake, "I take that as a yes, I'll be coming there in a few days, be ready for me babe"
"N-no!" She says loudly, "I-I won't let you come, my dad is dead now so leave me alone!"
"Oh, no no, sweetie you see… we killed him from the gang because he left us for you. But once we started to stalk him and met you, we realized why he did it. Now all we want to do is find you…touch you…claim you…and of course kill anyone in our way"
"I-I…don't you dare come! I-if you do I-I'll kill myself" She says with tears slowly running down her cheek.
"Then I'll make the… Echizen family suffer…" The voice said before they hung up. She lets her phone drop out of her hand and cries herself to sleep.
End of flashback
"Kohana-chan? Kohana-chan? Kohana!" Ryoma yells waving his hand in front of her face. She jumps from surprise and looks up at him.
"Y-yes?" She asks a little bit dazed.
"We have to go to school, we have morning practice" Ryoma says getting up and grabs his tennis bag. She nods and gets up grabbing her own and then walks out the door, waiting for Ryoma.
"Yo Ech—Kohana-chan" Momo says smiling slightly, "Whacha doing at his house?" She shrugs slightly.
"Living with him, what else?" She asks leaning on the wall of the temple. Ryoma then walks out and sees her and then Momo.
"Hey Momo-senpai" Ryoma says walking towards the direction of the school. Kohana walks slowly behind both of them sighing.
"Echizen, what's wrong with her?" Momo whispers ten feet ahead of her.
"I don't know she's been like this since this morning" Ryoma answers truthfully shrugging.
"Did you do anything to her?" Momo asks shaking his head.
"No" Ryoma says ending the conversation short.
"I couldn't have…unless…it was the hug…" Ryoma thought before sighing, "She must not like me like that, I guess…I should date someone to get her off my mind" He then sighs and looks from the corner of his eye to see her. She looked normal except the fact that her face was, well, sadder.
"Kohana-chan" Ryoma says turning around, waiting for her to catch up.
"Y-yes?" She asks almost running into him.
"Are you ok today?" She nods while looking down.
"Yea, I was just thinking of the past, you know my parents and all that?" She whispers.
Ryoma nods before sighing,
"That's right; today's the day her father died…" He thought to himself before grabbing her hand softly and squeezing it.
"It'll be fine Kohana-chan" He whispers in her ear, "I'm here for you, I'll always be" Kohana smiles softly before pulling him into a hug.
"Thank you Ryo-kun" She says, her face brightened up like normal. Ryoma nods and grabs her hand again.
"Let's go love birds; we are going to be late for practice!" Momo yells, already half way there.
"Hey that's cheating!" Kohana yells before running after him, pulling Ryoma along. Ryoma shakes his head and smiles, running with her.
"Maybe I'm wrong after all…this is a bad day for her" He thought, "I won't date anyone yet…unless it's her" He smiles softly, a true smile that Kohana only sees.
