chapter II

The very same day was for souichiro one of the worst of his lives, as soon as school had ended for that day aya had grabbed him and dragged him to her's and maya's home. What surprised souichiro the most was that aya was allowed to stay home from school for those two weeks, after convincing many of the teachers that a family member was in a terrible condition. Sliding the door to the exspansive house open, aya put him on the couch. she then clasped her hands togeather with a big smile on her face. These two weeks were gonna be like they were newly weds! she gonna cook for him, walk the grounds with him...bathe with him. The last thought made her blush, because since souichiro nagi didnt know the onsen that well he would need someone to guide him in there. looking at nagi, who looked like a train ran him over, aya then told him what was to happen.

"ok souichiro-sama! sit right their im gonna get supper ready".

"no! i told you already i wont eat your slop!!!".

Aya narrowed her eyes at that comment, her cooking wasnt that bad. Watching him for a bit to think of a way to make him eat, she then decided to do a trick called reverse pyscology. Waiting for him to lean his back onto the back of the couch, aya waited for the best moment to strike. When that time came she snuck and as quick as possible, sat in his lap. Souichiro tensed up as aya put her arms around the back of his head, she giggled and messed with his blonde hair. As his blood pressure raised to unsafe levels, aya began to talk to him in a seductive way.

"souichiro-sama, why wont you eat my cooking?".

"b..because!".

"because why?".

"I DONT WANT TO!".

"either you eat my cooking...or we stay like this...personally i like this better".

Nagi snapped, standing up he dropped her on the couch and made a run for it. slamming his leg into a table nearby, he limped alittle while still trying to get out of there. Aya who sat up quickly when she heard the loud noise, brushed some hair out of her eyes. she laughed alittle as he mumbled afew choice words out loud to himself. Deciding to end his run, she got up and speared him to the ground. He groaned as she laid on his back, rubbing her head into his strong back and taking in a breathe of air, he smelt so sweet to her. Nagi looked back behind him annoyed, even though he couldnt see her he could tell she was taking this moment in. Getting angry that she didnt say a thing for about five minutes, he finally spoke up.

"AYA! get the hell off me! what are you doing!!".

"either you eat my food or im not getting up!".

He gave up, she was gonna get her way because her hold around him became tighter than a vice grip. Mumbling out an agreement he waited for her to get off of him. But she didnt, she was laying with her eyes closed on him, enjoying the moment of being with just him, no bob, no maya, just her and her Souichiro-sama. Finally not being able to take it anymore, he used all his strength to roll her off of him. Grunting as nagi slowly got her off of him he yelled.

"DAMN IT AYA!".

"what"
"i told you i would eat your food!".

"i didnt hear you!".

"bullshit!! you heard me!!!!".

"well maybe if you didnt mumble i could of heard you clearly!".

Sitting up he shook his head, she was and is the most childish girl he's ever met in his life. Aya heard him, he knew it too! but she's just a crazy girl who ignored him when he agreed to eat her food. She just clingged to him. Everytime she makes contact with him, she doesnt listen and he has to get her off of him physically. Even though she acts so stupid around him, he couldnt help but think of how tough she was. He always has a hell of a time breaking that death grip of hers, its the same way everytime too. Aya just watched him, thats one of her favorite things to do. Sure, when he wasnt blind she would look away from him so he wouldnt notice. But now she could take in his features without him getting angry. Finally he spoke up to her, causing her to stop watching him with her loving brown eyes.

"wheres the food you said you were gonna cook?".

"i..ill go cook it right away!".

Aya got up and took off to the kitchen, she was gonna cook him the best supper he had ever tasted in his life!. Digging through the icebox on the bottom shelf, she found something every guy would love to eat. A nice sized duck sat on that shelf, ready and waiting to be cooked. Her eyes darted around the kitchen as they landed on a cook book tucked away, reaching over she scanned through it until she found the recipe for roast duck. Smiling sweetly she closed the book began to get the stuff she needed to cook this duck to perfection. She followed the directions step by step, doing exactly what it said to do. Then afew hours later, she pulled it out of the oven carefully and set it on the counter. It looked just like the picture in the cookbook, letting the bird cool down on the counter, she then decorated the table at break neck speed. He wasnt gonna be able to see the candles she set up just for the two of them. Him being there to eat in front of her is what mattered the most, the candles were just their to give the romantic mood. After lighting the last of the two candles on the table in the dining room he began to get restless, he could smell that food...no taste it and it was amazing.

"come on aya are you done yet?!".

"almost souichiro-sama! let me go get ready".

"...IM BLIND! god its not gonna matter!!".

"IT MATTERS TO ME!!!".

He stopped yelling, did aya just raise her voice to him?. The only times she's ever done that was when she was really afraid or really upset, and he decided not to find out which of the one's she was. Afew more minutes ticked by slowly, but two hands on the right arm knocked him out of his daze. Aya pulled him into the dining room, where it looked more like a romantic formal restrant. Sitting the blind nagi down, she carved his food up for him and quickly went to her seat. He felt around with the chop sticks and got a piece, raising it to his face he hit the food against his cheek until it slipped into his mouth. Great he thought, this is gonna be fun. But as he got another piece, he felt someone behind him, aya had gotten up, walked over and leaned over him. Her long hair encased him as she began hand feeding him slowly, a blush now evident on her face.

"aya! what the hell are you doing?".

"feeding you".

"im not a kid i can feed myself".

"you were hitting it against your cheek".

"i did it though!!!!!".

"souichiro-sama, please dont argue...i dont wanna remember this dinner because of a arguement ok...".

Thats when he stopped, he knew this ment something to her and even though she was annoying he didnt want her to break down on him. After finishing his food, he felt her still in the same spot. slowly her arms came around him from behind him as she hugged him close. Nagi was about to bolt when he felt something different, this was not a hug out of teasing like usual. It was more of a thank you, he just shook his head as she held him close to her. Moving his head around so it seemed like he was looking at her he finally spoke, their faces just inches apart.

"thanks for the food, it wasnt as horrible as usual".

All she did was hold him close to herself as the lights from the two candles flickered in the dark room, casting their shadows on the walls.

"no souichiro-sama...thank you".


and thats how im gonna end this chapter, i would like to thank the first review for this fic from howlin mad. thanks for the vote of confidence, ive only started on fics and this is actually my second. my first one was a screw around fic to get my writing skills up to par before attempting something on this scale. i was planning a onsen scene from the get go because it would be funny and it could be used to draw both nagi and aya closer to each other. Ive been reading the manga and watching the show on dvd, in hopes of getting more into character. ive been using them as a reference really, going back and watching the show or glancing to the manga to see what would the character do in that situation. im glad to see that im in character for the most part. so thanks again and hopefully the next chapters will be something fun to read.
