"Uh… good morning?"
So maybe it wasn't exactly the best thing to say, because the second after he found himself sprawled on the ground in front of her, face down and gross matter making its way into his mouth.
"Watch your back Nogi." Oh hells, she sounded mad. "I highly suggest that."
I stood up, trying to recollect the shattered pieces of my pride, and did my best to avoid looking at her. I read from somewhere that the best trick to do when you can't look someone in the eye but had to was to stare at the bridge of their nose, and that I did.
"You want another punch?" She pulled her arm back threateningly.
I stepped back instantly, hands up in defense. Hotaru packed a heavy punch, believe me. "Why are you so violent all of a sudden?"
Pretty purple eyes narrowed dangerously. "Well if you were harassed, abducted and stunned in the middle of the day I doubt you'd be a happy little camper, Nogi."
"Whoa. Whoa. Back down. I have no idea of any abductions going on, alright?"
"Then mind explaining why I found this," she paused, seeming to search for the perfect word, finding instead a cute furry little creature nuzzling on the cradle made by her bent right knee. Hotaru looked revolted. "beast hanging around here?"
How dare she!!! "B-b-…" My mouth hung open and she looked skeptical at my sudden inability to speak. But who could blame me! She got my BUNNY!
MY BUNNY!!!!!!!! She got MY FREAKIN LOVABLE BUNNY!!!!
"You witch! What the hell did you do to him???" I demanded, rushing over and snatching the poor little animal away from her vice grip. He was shivering from fright, the poor thing. How could this horrible, horrible hag do this to him???
As I mentally poured out my anguish, Hotaru got around to fixing herself. Pulling out straw from her hair for one thing, and fixing her tousled uniform. Her hair didn't prove much trouble. I guess that was why she kept them so short. Probably to avoid any interruptions during her work.
She glared at me one last time before she exited the barn. "I'm not going to forget this Nogi. And you tell that to Hyuuga too. I swear I'm going to get you."
A/N: Oh dear… They were supposed to kiss and make up and then it's happily ever after for them but then I started to picture a pissed-off Hotaru holding a traumatized rabbit and my fingers went ahead of me. As it is… the story's extending itself. large grin
