So, this chapter is kinda not-Kallen-like but still. My updates gonna be a little late, especially now that my phone is away from me. Well, enjoy the chapter :D
"Mom I'm home!" Kallen shouted as she entered the house.
Her mom and Gino was there all surprised as they saw her. Her mom gave her a hug as tears run down her face and Kallen conforted her. She laid her mom rest at the coach and suggested her for a nap. Gino got a blanket and tuck her mom to sleep.
"She's been really worried about you," he said, "this is the first time she sleep after 3 days."
Kallen smiled and hug Gino, "Thanks for being there."
"Where have you been? We were really worried." he signed.
"Just," she let go, "some business."
Gino frowned and held her at the shoulder, "Just don't it again."
He held her a tight hug and Kallen didn't argue about it.
"Kallen I've got something to tell you," he said while hugging Kallen close,"I really lik-"
"Hold that thought." she said while touching his lips. She broke the hug and held her ringing phone. She gave Gino a smile and he only sighed in reply.
* . *
Kallen opened her eyes and looked at her watch. '6:52'. She walked over her mother and tuck her blanket over, she even fixed Gino's things by the table.
"You're already up?" Gino asked scratching the back of his head.
"It's almost 7, you should get up too," she answered, "I'm going somewhere, so please look after mom."
Gino got up and looked at her seriously, "Where are you going?"
"Just gonna check something."
She was at the door when Gino hold her wrist. She faced him and saw a frowning blonde behind.
"Gino I'm going to be alright." she said while escaping his hands.
"Kal I just-"
"Gino please release my wrist." struggled Kallen.
"Kal please listen,"
"Gino will you plea-"
Her struggling was cut when she felt his lips leaning on her. Gino was hugging her tight with his lips leaning on her. She was surprissed that she pushed Gino away.
"Kal, I'm sor-"
"Don't," she cut off, "I-just-I'll think about it."
She went out with revolving thoughts. Her head was spinning with questions that she didn't expect.
'Why did he kiss me? Does he like me? When? Where? How?' she thought for herself.
The cab stopped infront of the place where, not far enough, Suzaku's place is. She knocked but nobody replied, so she used the spare key that was hidden under the pot beside and opened the door. The place was so quiet it felt like it's been abandoned.
'He must be at a gathering' she thought.
Four hours has passed but still no sign of him. She held her phone by the ear and dialed Suzaku's number. The first and second was a failure but when she tried the third time a guy picked up.
"Hello?"
"Zero is that you?" she asked.
"What is it Kallen?"
"Where are you? I've been waiting for you for like 4 hours."
"Sorry Kallen but it's better for you to just go home."
"What are you saying?"
"Kallen, forget everything that happened. It's better for you to just go home."
"Suzaku what the hell are you talking about? And, where the hell are you?"
"Kallen," he cut off, "Suzaku's dead. You were the one who even killed him."
Kallen was silent as she realize the thought.
'I was the one that killed him' she keep repeating in her head as tears were almost pouring from her eyes.
* .beep* was the tone left from the call.
'Forget about it? How? The fall, the injury, the kiss. How can I all forget that?' tears were now pouring from her eyes. Her chest thighten as she saw thunder bolting outside.
"What a stupid day?" she laughed and she head out door not minding the rain outside.
"I'll get it!" the ever-energetic Gino called.
He head to the door and got hold their shiny gold door knob. As he open the door a wet and weak Kallen was all he saw. He quickly removed his jacket and strap it in her shoulder. He let her in and sat her in the couch.
"Kallen what were you thinking?" he asked as he requested one of his maid a clean pair of clothe. He frowned as she gave him no reply.
"I'll just get you a cup of tea." as he got up Kallen reached for him and caught the edge of his shirt.
"Gino." she said with a trembling tone.
He sighed and held her close, trapping her in his arms.
"Gino?" she questioned, "help me."
"Help you where?" he asked as cought here eyes.
"Help me forget Kallen Kouzuki."
