"souichiro-sama...i understand if you dont want to go through with it...".
Nagi's head turned to her general direction and even know he couldnt see her, he could feel her. She was breathing deeply, not normal for the overly excited girl who would jump onto him every five minutes. But the amazing thing wasnt his sharp increase in hearing over the past few days, it was his touch. He could put his hand to a table and feel the vibrations come through the floor, up through the table and into his hands. Putting his hands down onto the table, he could feel a steady beat...he tried to figure out what it was, until it started to beat faster and faster. He then realized, he could feel her heartbeat through the table, were his senses becoming that keen so quickly!?.
"no aya...i dont go back on my word and i agreed to it".
"souichiro-sama...".
He felt her hands leave the table, moving his head around he listened for her. Then he found her sitting down next to him slowly, she put her arms around him and nuzzled up into his arms. Nagi shook his head, already regretting caving into her and agreeing with this whole thing. Aya smiled, she was going to remember these weeks until the end of time. Feeling his nervousness kicking in, she shook her head and pulled him closer.
"please...dont let go".
"...aya im not even hanging onto you".
She stopped and looked up at him, letting go of the hug she turned away with a grumpy face. He groaned and reached out, putting his hands onto her shoulders, he begand to feel that her clothing wasnt what she usually wore.
"aya...are you wearing that damn kimono again?".
"i thought...you would like it souichiro-sama".
"i dont care what you wear aya...".
"so i can wear anything!".
"no no NO! thats not what i ment!!!".
It was too late, she took it as a complement and she turned to hug him...yet again.
later on
Aya decided to take souichiro outside on that very day, he hasnt really gone out since the incident that blinded him. As she herself got ready to leave the house, she watched nagi get ready also. He was learning the layout of the natsume home quite well, he could get around it on his own. But it was the small things, table and funiture that was giving him trouble. As she thought about how much he's progressed, a loud noise erupted from the living room, disrupting aya's train of thought.
"GOD DAMN TABLE!!".
Another loud bang was heard, which sounded like a table being broken in half by a angry kid. Aya turned the corner, and was met with that very sight, nagi was leaning of the table with his fist still in it.
"i told you aya! keep the damn table outta my way".
She covered her mouth...that wasnt even the table that he was running into, it was a completely different one.
"souichiro-sama! maya is not gonna be happy when she finds out you broke another piece of funiture!".
"screw her! she probably moved it into my way just to get some laughs!".
Nagi walked over to aya and took her by the arm, he was gonna get outta this deathtrap of a house, even if it were just for a hour or two. Opening the door leading outside, he now lead a blushing aya down the stepway to the road. Aya decided right then and their it was her turn to lead him, taking his arm she then walked him down the sidewalk next to him. As the two walked down the busy street to the local market, aya kept glancing up at him. It may sound horrible, but she liked him this way. He wasnt running away from her or yelling. She grabbed the edge of the sleeves to her kimono with her one hand, even if he were blind she was still nervous around him. Finally making it to the market, aya went about getting some food for tonight. As nagi stood next to her with a i dont wanna be here look on his face, another man standing next to him, wearing the exact same face looked over to nagi.
"i know it sucks...".
"tell me about it...im blind and she dragged me here".
"which girl are you with?".
Nagi pointed next to him where aya was standing, she was leaning over looking at fish.
"...i wish i were blind".
"why? it sucks".
The man pointed to his wife and whispered some descriptive words about her appearance.
"her hair...is a wig, she's got three teeth...and she's a whale".
"why'd you get married to that?!".
"...money".
The older man put a hand on nagi's shoulder as he told him some words of wisdom.
"dont marry for money, it maybe good for the first few weeks, but twenty years down the line...the money looses its shine".
He nodded his head as the older man and his...well wife walked away togeather. Turning his head to aya, who was staring at him the whole time. He could feel her irritating stare on him so, to get her to stop drilling holes into his skull. Nagi held out his hand and said the line that would plague him for the rest of his days.
"lets get outta here...mrs...souichiro".
DUN DUN DUUUUUUNNN!!!!! and thats the chapter...its getting harder for me to do this. im having trouble, i may bring bob into it for the next chapter. i mean, he is nagi's friend and all and him checking in on him would be nice. keep a eye out for it...ill start working on it tomarrow.
