Chapter Ten: Finally Listening part 1

Mahiru pressed the 'play' button, almost afraid to hear what really did go on in Mitsuru's mind when his voice flooded into the headphones.

"I feel like such a damn idiot doing this…" There was a pause where he sighed, "But if I don't it'll haunt me for nights on end. Last night I had the most fucked up dream. Heh…thing is that I remember down to the very last detail, and she was there, that damned woman.

"Now let's see where to start…duh ya damn moron, the beginning. Anyways, we were walking in a park, by a lake. There were dumbass birds in the water, some sort of flowers and in bloom, all that kinda girly shit.

"That's about all there is of the first one, the one after that though was the same thing but we were talking then. She…she asked about my childhood, question number one, 'Do I remember my parents?' I shake my head no and tell her, 'They died when I was young. I've been a ward of the state since I was 5.' For some fucked up reason, I end up telling the damn girl all about my childhood. Every last detail I can think of. Sign one that I'm going crazy, even in my fucking dreams.

"Sign two of my going crazy in that dream; I'm touching her…of my own free will. Not the dirty perverted way, at least not at yet and hopefully never, but like the girly holdin' hands shit. It's just not right; I like to hold her hand. Hell, I like when she's just in the same room…WHY THE HELL AM I TALKING ABOUT THAT!" Mahiru couldn't help but smile at Mitsuru's distressed conversation with himself; so this is what she had heard him talking about all those different times.

Mitsuru's deep breathing was heard before he continued on with his confessions, "Now let me see…Oh yeah, there's one, we're in a cabin in the mountains. What the fuck we're doing there, I have no clue. I think I may have been watching a movie with a cabin and all that different shit.

"We were sitting, yeah, just sitting on a couch by a fire. Nothing to special, unless you count the cuddling thing. Eehheeewww. Finally after like ten minutes I finally push her away when it should've been ten seconds and she goes, 'Aww, you're such a grump.' Then she flings her arms around me and says the most vile, evil, dark thing ever, 'But you're my grump and…' geeze I'm surprised I'm even fucking repeating this, 'I LOVE YOU RU-CHAN!' that's so wrong."

Mahiru about choked on her own spit from laughing so hard when she heard that nickname. Ru-chan…she'd have to remember to call him that when they went on their date next week. Also remember to take a camera so that she could get a picture of his face, oh the torture of poor Mitsuru.

"HEH…the funniest damn thing is that- geeze I'm a fucking moron- I don't push her away like I should, I pull her closer and whisper, 'I- I…I love you too…Mahiru.' Soon after I start to move her head towards mine and before they reach each other I thankfully wake up; geez talk about crazy weird messed up shit. Why…Why do I feel this way about a damn fucking human? Maybe, I dunno, maybe it's something I ate."

Mahiru couldn't help but bust out laughing at how he blamed it on something he ate. But at the same time she couldn't help but be a little creeped out; this was the guy that basically said in everyway, everyday that he hated he with the passion of a million suns. She had noticed that lately though, he'd been a bit less angry seeming, the only way to find out, listen to more tape.

"Okay, time for more of 'Mitsuru's Fucked Mind'. This edition just might be more twisted than my other 'dreams'. Now which one shall we start with this time…Well, last night in my 'dream' we were walking through a steamy tropical jungle type place and all of a sudden that damned Pizza the Hut from Space Balls is there. What the hell is that all about? I'm never watching that movie before I go to sleep again…Anyways, his fricking annoying minions are trying to attack me, key word being 'try'.

Of course being the fucking low-life bastards that they are, they go and take Mah-I mean the damn girl hostage, then blow off that planet faster than you can say 'Shit no!' I have no way to go get her so the only thing to do is get some help from the natives of the planet. Turns out, the planet is inhabited by Akira and his clan of Jawas and those fuzzy teddy bear people.

"He tells me that he knows a guy that can help, and I'm stuck with him all the way there…talk about annoying, he talks both your arms and legs off and ya can't under stand one damn word he says the whole time. We get there, finally, and the guy he takes me to see is some short guy name Obi-Wan Misoka Kenobi, mostly know as Misoka. (a/n: please forgive the very bad…whatever it is.) 'Hey Misoka,' he says, 'this guy needs help getting his woman back from Pizza Vader.'

"Misoka just looks at him and says, 'One, it's Pizza-the-Hut, and Second why the hell does this dream consist of both Space Balls and Stars Wars?' We both shrug our shoulders, it's my dream and I don't even know what the hell is going on. 'HEY!' I shout, 'SHE'S NOT MY WOMAN!' Misoka just says that he knows somebody with a ship that can take me to the place where Pizza-the-Hut lives. After all is said and done both of them decide to tag along, our pilot was some guy named Oboro and his co-pilot named Katsura who was a hermaphrodite."

Mahiru had tears running down her cheeks from laughing so hard. She could just see the terrified look on his face as the tengu realized that all of this had come from his mind; later on he would deny everything blaming it on something else. Out of all of them, this tape proved that, her 'Ru-chan' had the most active imagination.

"Well we got there and it turns out that Pizza-the-Hut had been locked in his limousine and he ate himself so the girl was safe…Then that damned Darth Nozomu showed up, 'Hello Little Mitty, how's it going? Oh pretty girl, Hi pretty girl!' He waved to Mahiru. Then we got into a big fight; he died, or as close as you could get him to dying anyways, and the damn girl comes up and starts bringing her head close to mine and I wake up again thankfully.

"Then I have more of those hero things where orcs are attacking her school and I have to save her; whole bunch of dead zombies attack us at a mall; some giant ape takes her and climbs up onto a giant building; oh and my personal least hated one, a giant shark is trying to eat her…I was rooting for the shark the whole time, but I had to go save her or else Akira and them wouldn't shut their traps for weeks on end.

"Another one I had was that…well, that me and her were little kids. I was sitting by myself, heh, what else is new or different? She was over in the sandbox with a bunch of other snot nosed brats, when one of the kids at the slides asked her to go over and play with them. Heh, guess you could say I was jealous of her, and gave her the 'glare of death' as the others call it. Fucking bastards think that I don't hear them but I do…But she had found out that I had been looking at her and came over.

"'I saw you over here and thought you needed somebody to play with; it's not fun being by yourself when there are tons of other kids to play with.' She rambles on telling me her name and I have to tell her mine since it's like an unwritten law in the kiddy community. Of course the friggin' girl can't pronounce my name right and calls me Mitty. I of course was able to see the whole thing, and then the grown up version of her tries to kiss me. Our lips were on one another's but it- it wasn't for very long before I wake up."

'Okay Mitsuru is needing some mental help or me to kiss him in real life right about now, he dreams about it enough.' Thought the blonde as she moved from the desk to her bed to more comfortable; it was a good thing she wasn't eating any thing like fruit snacks, she might have accidentally choked on one laughing so hard.

"Hmm… this next one happen about five months ago around Valentine's Day, or as I call it, Hell-on-Earth Day. (a/n: for those of you like myself who suck at keeping months straight, it means that the current month in here is July.) Me and Mahiru were sitting at the kitchen table eating chocolate and saying a bunch of different foods like, this was hers, 'Pudding on spaghetti with cheese!' then I said 'on toast' she says 'with gravy and eggs.'

"After that string of weird shit I say, 'Marshmallows' she says, 'chocolate' which her face is covered in by now. 'Hershey chocolate,' I say thinking that I got her beat on this one when she yells at the top of her lungs, 'HERSHEY KISSES!' and before I know it she has her arms me and…and…and…and…and…and…"

'AWW HURRY THE HELL UP MITTY!' Mahiru's mind shouted at the taped voice of Mitsuru, 'WHAT THE HELL DO I DO ALREADY!'

"And…WE KISSED! Not, she kissed me; yeah she did kiss me but ARGHHH I KISSED HER BACK DAMMIT! DAMMIT, DAMMIT DAMMIT!"

Then there was a loud crash heard on the tape, Mahiru guessed that in all his furry Mitsuru threw the thing across the room where it hit the wall. It surprisingly survived the teenaged hormonal wrath of the tengu, who at that moment was acting like a five year old.

"No I didn't wanna kiss her, I didn't wanna!" he kept yelling. A few minutes later he started choking out more words, "If…if I didn't want to then why…why the hell do I keep thinking about her? Fuck it all dammit! She's just a lousy friggin human, who's stupid enough to try to 'befriend me'; well I don't want it dammit!"

From the way his voice was cracking, Mahiru suspected that he had been choking back tears, that 'weren't his style' since he was all big and bad. For the billion time it seemed on that tape he was silent and whispered something just barely audible on the tape.

"But the dream that scared me the most…and it sure as hell ain't easy to scare me. It-it's the one…the one where she's…se's in that white dress…"

A/N: (Doges objects thrown) Ha cliffy, and I'm gonna leave this one hanging for a few days before you get the next chapter. Mwhahahaha (Lightning in the background and creepy music) Hey soundboard guy you're playing the wrong music! Phantom is supposed to be playing! (Soundboard guy switches to the opening chandelier scene music from the 2004 version of Phantom of the Opera and Katie continues her whole little evil laughter thing until music cuts off) OK I had to do that. And I have to say…that this was the hardest chapter to write cause I kept getting damn writer's block. I'd like to give a big thanks to JesusGirl883 because she helped me over the hurdles. Hurdles…hurdles remind me of track…Grrrrrrr. I'm officially re-pissed off from today, my track coach at the track awards just had to mention about how I didn't have as much as my sister…I'm gonna stop right there before I start cursing everything that pisses me off, like long lines in the express lanes.
