Chapter III: December? November? Whatever.
'. . . Damn it' I thought, now sitting on the damned couch with damned Shunsui. What was even worse was that the man had seemed to fall asleep, while I was telling my story.
Gritting my teeth together, I shifted around a little bit, trying to free myself from Shunsui's hug. I swore once again. Last Resort Time….
I sat, still in the same position as half an hour ago, when my Savior came.
". . . " She stared down, eye twitching at Shunsui as I smiled sheepishly.
"WAKE UP YOU GOD DAMNED LAZY DRUNK!" She hollered, smacking Shunsui a dozen times over the head. I merely scurried away to sit upon my desk, and stared.
'By Dear God… she swore…' Gulping, I watched as Shunsui sat up and looked around feverishly.
"Nanao-chan! How lovely to see yo--" She smacked him again as he tried to hug her too. I squirmed where I sat. Damn was she scary.
Looking around, I saw that someone had come in while I dozed and rearranged the papers... Kaien. He must've sneaked in and watched me like a hawk. I'd get him back for this... oh I certainly would...
Nanao bowed in apology for Shunsui's behavior I simply smiled weakly and saw them off. Before Shunsui left although, I told him in a whisper:
'Old Playground'
He would know what I meant.
Around midnight, when the gibbous moon was halfway across the dark sky, Shunsui waltzed into the garden. We wore only black, so not to look attract unwanted attention. He sat down in the patch of carnations next to me, but was careful like always not to sit on the flowers, something I would always nag on him about.
The small lake next to the garden reflected in his eyes, I plucked a carnation and held it daintily.
"I remember Yama-jii would catch us playing out here... he'd then drag us back to the academy ..." Shunsui wrapped his arms around me shoulders and pulled me to him.
"Ahh... the academy days... when we weren't drowning in paperwork..." I grinned, and turned around where I sat. He twirled a lock of hair in his fingers, and I placed both hands on his chest... and pushed. He squeaked a little and grabbed my wrist, yanking me into the water beside us. I stifled a scream, the water was frigid and so was the air. I shivered, and hugged myself while staying in one place while Shunsui decided to do laps around me. I stopped him by pinching him in the side.
"Cold, like that one December evening..."
----
Shunsui called loudly over to where I stood, picking bundles of flowers. He wore practically nothing. Damn him... it was only 50 degrees out and he wore probably just his loincloth...
"Uki-chan! I have something!!" He shoved a flower into my already full arms..
"Shu-kun I alrea--" I stopped, it was beautiful. I stared at the flower, and then Shunsui kissed me lightly on the lips before shunpoing off. He left me breathless, hair blowing like the petals in the wind.

"It was November if I recall..." I shot him a look, and he hugged me. Letting go of me, he pulled me hair behind my ear and placed one small flower in my hands, then kissed me like he did, so many years ago.
