"Sorry for slapping you, Mao." Tatsuya's voice was low and gentle; he did sound sincere.
I smiled, "no, it's okay. I—OW!" I hissed at the end and looked at Kao, who was tending my wounds.
"Well if you've given up early, you wouldn't have had this much gashes." She glared and pressed the cotton with alcohol even deeper, I whimpered weakly.
"That Agito kid sure is violent." Saeki commented.
"Sorry I lost, Tatsuya." I mumbled.
He smiled, "you'll get him next time." He patted my head.
"Yeah…" I haven't told them about my upcoming re-match with him this Sunday.
"There…all done!" Kao finished bandaging and grinned at me.
"Thank you so much, Kao—nee" I smiled gently and hugged her.
"YOU'RE SO CUUUTEE, MAAOO!" Kao squealed, hugged me tighter, and began squirming. Funny how she called me a blobfish yesterday. If you don't know what it is, you should Google it. I find it kinda cute, actually …in a way. Kind of. Slightly. I couldn't breathe because my face was stuck between her two overly large breasts. She finally let go and pinched both of my cheeks. "Ka-wa-ii~!" I sometimes think whether her boobs are real.
"Kao, let go." Tatsuya said softly, Queen pouted, and finally let go.
"What should we do now?" Saeki asked.
"I'm hungry…" I mumbled.
"Hot pot, anyone?" Yuki smirked.
"HOT POOTT!" We all cheered and raced out of our house, well…technically it's Tatsuya's own house. It's kind of our base.
We began cooking our food; we had three pots, Tatsuya had his own, Kao and Saeki shared one, and Yuki and I shared one. I had to admit, I was a bit jealous of Kao. She's really pretty and is really close with Saeki. Oh my godness…that rhymed. I'm Shakespeare, guys.
Then, I heard cheering and ruckus come from behind. I looked and saw the whole Kogarasumaru team, Ikki being at the front with a confident smug on his face.
"Why are we even here?" The blonde, Kazu asked.
"I just came here for free food…" Onigiri said.
"Crow, you did say that you were paying, right?" Buccha asked.
"Yeah, yeah, of course! I'll pay for everyone. My treat." He chuckled and saw our table; he waved excitedly, and took the table next to ours.
"Hey, Ikki." Tatsuya greeted.
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?"
"Eating of course." He said obviously, thus causing Ikki to laugh.
"Hello, sir. Lunch for five? That'll be one thousand yen for each, total of five thousand yen." The waitress beamed.
"No problem," he said as he put his hand in his pocket. "Uh... wait a second." He said and reached for the other pocket, looking for his wallet frantically. I could tell where this was obviously going.
"Fuck, Crow, don't tell me you—" Agito started.
"I LEFT MY WALLET IN MY HOUSE!" He yelled and had the look like he was nearly going to faint. His other members began groaning and cursing.
"Of course, you did." Agito sighed, his voice oozing with sarcasm. "That's why I brought mine just in case to avoid us from situations like this." Ikki suddenly recovered and hugged him quickly.
"I knew you were such a lifesaver, you little shit!" Ikki then squealed like a little girl.
"You're going to pay me back though, Crow. Every cent of it." He glared at Ikki. "You know what? I think I'll make it double the original price. Interest." He smirked and Ikki's jaw dropped.
"But-!"
"If you guys want, we can pay for you." Tatsuya offered. "Our treat." He smiled.
"R-really?!" Ikki's composure went back again.
"Yeah, for a great fight and all." Ikki nodded and took a seat in front of Tatsuya; I suddenly realized we had been sitting in one line, one side of the table only. The whole Kogarasumaru team sat in front of us. We ordered more bowls of hot pot, so that there were two for each person. Ikki shared with Tatsuya, Buccha and Onigiri shared one, and Kazu and Agito shared one, and they also sat in front of Yuki and I. I gasped slightly.
"What is it, Mao?" Yuki muttered.
"We're all currently sitting in front of our opponents from last night." I whispered. He chuckled.
"Oh yeah…I didn't notice." There was a huge plate of choices in front of us; all raw, and waiting to be cooked.
After forty minutes of eating, some already stopped eating because they were very full.
"You're so fat." Yuki said as I continued to chow down my food. He was leaning back on the chair and groaning and complaining about his stomach. "How can you eat that much?"
"Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of these delicious food screaming to be eaten." I mumbled and stuffed more meat in my mouth. There was a time when I was a vegetarian for a month, but then I was like 'fuck it. I love meat', then I had a week where I didn't eat anything else but meat. I reached for the last piece of meat, when suddenly, a pair of chopsticks clashed into mine. I looked up and saw Agito, glaring at me. "Dude. Let go." I warned.
"She once stabbed me with a fork when I ate her bacon." I heard Saeki mutter. Agito's eyes never left mine and his smirk grew even deeper.
"I think I'll take my chances." He then pulled the meat, I pulled it back, and he did too.
"Guys, just let go of the meat." Kazu said tiredly.
"Agito, be a gentleman and let the girl have it." Said Buccha. Thank you, Buccha.
"You're a girl…" he started.
I scoffed, "no shit."
"Aren't you supposed to diet or something?" He raised an eyebrow.
"The word 'diet' isn't in my dictionary." I glared harder. He finally broke contact and scanned my by body up to down. (Well half of my body since I was sitting down.)
"I can see that" he smirked. My jaw literally dropped and I felt my cheeks burn with fury.
He took this chance of distraction and grabbed the meat, I jolted upright, causing the whole table to screech at my sudden action, I leaned over the table, and caught the meat with my chopsticks just before it dropped into his mouth. I immediately shoved the meat in my mouth, causing me to accidentally stab my gums with the chopsticks hard for a second, and chewed it vigorously, giving him a glare as I did so. That's right, bitch. Suck it.
"So, Ikki-san—" Tatsuya started.
"-kun is fine" he smiled and turned to all of us, "call me 'Ikki-kun' not –san, yeah?" He grinned once again. He is a very happy male. Tatsuya nodded and had his own conversation with Ikki.
I leaned back and had a smug on my face; I was happy and full.
