Chapter Four: Blackmail! ... Grrr

'Shit, shit, shit, shit… Damn, damn, damn. It's gone, it's really bloody fricking gone!' Mitsuru stood in the middle of what used to be a semi-clean room turned disaster zone.

He had searched for what seemed like hours when it was only minutes for the lost tape player. It had contained some of his most, in his opinion, most disgusting, ludicrous, and just plain out wrong thoughts of the damn girl.

Wait…the damn girl…THE DAMN GIRL. "Nozomu who collected the bed sheets?" Mitsuru swore up and down that he would get to the bottom of this.

Nozomu was downstairs allowing Akira to be reacquainted with his dear friend Mr. Spatula and Mrs. Frying Pan and yelled up to the tengu, "Mahiru…and if your gonna get a pissy over it then you can meet my friends too." There was a creepy look in his eyes, when talking about his 'friends'.

'Oh yeah, somebody definitely was disturbed before coffee… WHY THE HELL DO I CARE! That damn woman has the thing that I should have never brought into existence!'

He turned and stalked out of his room down the hallway, about ready to burst into the girl's room but thought better of it. Instead went for banging on the door. "OPEN UP DAMMIT!"

Mahiru was stirred out of some sort of train of thought by Mitsuru's banging on the door; afraid he would splinter the door into a thousand pieces she rushed over and opened the door. Looking out she saw that, sure enough, Mitsuru was standing there, inhaling deeply as if it took all his strength not to just take her head clean off of her neck.

"Give…it…back…NOW!" he demanded.

She knew what he was talking about, that tape player she found in his room. "I have no idea what you're talking about Mitsuru."

"YOU DO DAMMIT SO GIVE IT BACK NOW!"

"What is so important that is on this thing that you're talking about?" she asked. Mitsuru gulped loudly, very loudly, if she ever found out what was on there it would be the end of his whole entire life as he knew it… a perpetual hell made worse by the fact that he could very well possibly like her? "None of your business ya damn girl so give it back. And don't tell me that you don't know what it is cause I know that you're the one who went around and clean up the sheets today."

She had been found out and she knew it but before she gave it back to him she got an idea, and it was something that she would have never done, and especially not to a person like Mitsuru. "Alright…," Mahiru sighed, "but before I do you have to do one thing for me." Even thought it was something she wouldn't have done how else was she going to find out how he felt about her?

"What?" asked the Tengu in an annoyed voice; hand resting up against the doorframe, fingers drumming against the woodwork to show the obvious annoyance.

Mahiru made sure to draw the words out very slowly so that the guy she had a crush on would be able to understand fully and completely what she said. "I want you to…go on a date with me."

The drumming instantly ceased but it took awhile before the boat carrying the message that the damn girl had sent completely sunk and went under. She…wanted…him…to go…on a date…with her.

"WHAT! YOUR OUTTA YOUR FUCKING MIND WORSE THAN USUAL YA DAMN FRICKIN' CRAZY GIRL!"

'I should have expected that reaction…I must now resort to blackmail. That is just so low but hey it's a date with Mitsuru, which will only come along like once every like 5 billion years if that.' "If you don't I will tell everyone in the vicinity of this bar what is on that tape."

The color of his face drained, "You wouldn't dare. If you do…I will rip that head of yours straight off your neck and spit down your throat." The anger inside of him was rising higher and higher; if given the chance he would kill her, but not in the way he described, it would be worse…much worse.

"I would so dare." The true was that she was actually scared of what he would do, but she had to find out if he really did hate her. If he really did hate her then she was definitely deader tan a doornail.

Mitsuru's anger boiled over, "GRR…DAMN YOU!" Large swirls of wind engulfed him, the frame of his body getting larger as he transformed. (a/n: yeah I know he doesn't really transform that way…at least I think he doesn't.) The large black wings burst forth from his body in an eruption of feathers, followed by the markings of his face; she would pay for…damn he didn't know what.

Mahiru tried to get past him but couldn't, he wouldn't let her. "Nozomu, Akira, HELP!" she yelled out. The above two rushed up the stairs; Nozomu reaching them first since his movement wasn't affected by a frying pan or spatula.

Grasping both of the tengu's arms from behind, Nozomu proceeded to use a few wrestling moves he had learned off the television.

Akira went to the Princess's side to protect her if Nozomu's moves just happened to bring Mitsuru flying in her direction which was very unlikely, but one never does know. "Are you alright Mahiru?" She gave a quick nod of her head to signify she was alright.

"Now," the vampire huffed out, "what the hell is the problem here?" he had the tengu, now back in his human form, pinned on the ground basically eating carpet fibers.

"Geroff ann al tale gammit!"

Nozomu lifted Mitsuru's head by the hair slightly, "Repeat."

"GET OFF AND I'LL TELL DAMMIT!" 'I'm gonna get him for stuffing by face in the damn carpet, that shit is nasty.'

The other teen reluctantly let go of the teen he had pinned. Mitsuru stood up and brushed off the front of himself of fibers from the carpet. He stared at Mahiru; he knew she'd tell them how-how he…liked her a lot.

'But how do I know she even listened to it? Simple, I don't know; the only thing I can do is do what she wants…damn it all right here right now.' His broke his glare. Turing towards his room he mumbled, "Fine I'll do it."

He stalked off into his room slamming the door uncaring of the two other male's stares of 'what the heck was that about.' Tomorrow for him was going to be a day of hell on earth.

Mahiru was overjoyed but didn't show it for fear of arousing the suspicion of Nozomu and Akira. "T-thank you guys for coming up here."

"No problem sis." Akira smiled, ears and tail popping out and waging slightly. "In fact it's time for dinner…" he paused before yelling, "Lets get pizza!" And all agreed that pizza was a good choice.

When the pizza arrived Mahiru volunteered to take Mitsuru's share up to him. She knocked on the door, "Mitsuru? We ordered pizza and I brought some for you." Opening the door she saw that he was gazing intently at a spot on his wall.

"Oh by the way…Hey snap outta it you're creeping me out."

"Thought that was the plan" he glared at her but didn't have the normal anger along with that stare that would kill death it's self.

"Hmph, anyways, I brought you up some pizza and also I want to discuss this little date you and I are going on tomorrow. I figured we could like go see a movie." She handed him his pizza, she knew what movie she wanted to see.

"Alright fine…" he waited for her to leave, when she didn't he practically yelled, "Will you go away now geeze."

"Why?"

"I hate when people try to watch me eat alright, it's creepy."

Mahiru turned and left smiling inwardly…maybe tomorrow wouldn't be as bad as she thought it could possibly turn out.

That though in her head the princess retired early, for she couldn't wait for tomorrow; a date with Mitsuru…that was going to be one priceless moment.
