"What book is that?" Shinji asked as he sat down in front of me. Like usual he had brought me food for lunch but I was too distracted by the book in my hands.
"An English book that was translated into Japanese," I responded and I could tell that he was looking at me confused without looking at him, "Wuthering Heights, a classic."
"Interesting" Shinji said, "what is it about?"
I closed the book and looked up at him, "what do you want?"
"What, I am just being curious," he said in a shocked voice.
"I do not like having conversations while reading," I stated.
Shinji asked, "you end up getting distracted and reading the same thing over and over?"
"Yes" I stated.
"Same thing happens to me" Shinji sighed.
"You can read?" I asked.
"So how are you feeling?" Shinji ignored the question.
I sighed, "like a caged animal. Can I leave the room at least? Besides going to the bathroom?"
Shinji smiled, "I was hoping you would say that."
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
Shinji smiled, "you will see later. It is not like you have plans tonight." Why do I get a bad feeling about this?
"Wake up" a voice whispered into my ear. Nope. I finally was able to go to sleep. "Maybe a kiss will wake up" the voice whispered and my eyes shot open. Shinji's face was a few centimeters away from me smiling. "Awe, you woke up" Shinji sighed as I pushed him away.
I sat up and glared at him, "what are you doing here?"
"I told you earlier," Shinji said, "remember the surprise?" I hoped I slept through that. I groaned as I got out of bed and Shinji looked me up and down with a smile on his face. I looked down and realized I was only wearing an undershirt and underwear because it was getting hot in the room. "Cute unde-" Shinji began.
My cheeks redden as I yelled, "shut up!" I quickly put on my pants.
"Close your eyes" Shinji said. I groaned and closed my eyes. Shinji picked me up and carried me bridal style out of the room. I felt a rush of cold air that told me we were outside. "Do not open your eyes, we are almost there" Shinji whispered in my ear. I nearly did not hear him over the sound of the wind. Was it really windy, or was he running? I felt him put me down on the ground and say, "open your eyes." I opened them and gasped. We were sitting on a cliff that overlooked Karakura town. I looked up and saw the stars twinkling in the night sky.
"Wow" I muttered.
Shinji sat down beside me, "so you like the surprise? I thought you would like to finally come out and get some air… Just do not tell the others I took you, they sort of do not trust you." I turned toward Shinji confused and saw him staring at the town with a smile. Why do they not trust me? Do I seem suspicious to them? Did I do something wrong? They were the ones who would not allow me to leave the warehouse. Wait… does this have to do with the Urahara thing?
I opened my mouth to ask but Shinji turned toward me. His usual stupid smile was missing, he looked serious. I was speechless; no noise would escape my lips. Why? I felt my heartbeat quicken as I stared into his eyes. I never realized before that he had beautiful eyes.
I felt my cheeks redden as Shinji slowly leaned toward me. Is he going to kiss me? What should I do? I would usually push him away and tell him to stop but I could not move… and part of me did not want to.
Shinji stopped a couple of centimeters away from my face. I felt his breath against my lips and I was tempted to lean in and kiss him myself… wait what am I thinking? This man practically kidnapped me! Well it was to help me… Still, I need to push him away or say something… why will my body not respond still?
"Kana" Shinji whispered. I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. Shinji quickly turned away and stretched. Wait what, no kiss? I sighed, I cannot believe I feel disappointed now. Shinji looked down at his phone and sighed.
"It is 4am, want to wait for the sunset and then go back?" Shinji asked as he watched the horizon.
"S-s-sure" I stuttered as I gazed at the horizon waiting for the sun to appear.
"Beautiful" I said as the first rays peeked through the town.
Shinji laughed, "yeah." I turned toward him to see him watching me with a smile. "Well we should get going" Shinji stated standing up. I nodded my head as I stood up and tried to figure out which way was back. Shinji quickly picked me up like before and before I knew it, we were running back to the warehouse. The only problem is that we are not running, we are floating?
"How-" I began to ask but Shinji cut me off.
"Hopefully no one is awake yet" he said as we arrived and walked inside. I never seen this part of the warehouse, it looked like it was falling apart. There was a hole in the ceiling that seemed to go up for three or four floors. There was also another hole in the floor a few meters away. Before I could say anything Shinji dragged me toward a corridor that contained the door to my room. Shinji opened the door and the two of us walked inside. I turned to see Shinji about to leave.
"See you later" he said, "you can go back to sleep now."
"Wait" I blurted out, which surprised both Shinji and I.
Shinji smiled, "what? Do you already miss me?" Why does he have to say stuff like that? Without thinking about it, I quickly ran up to him and pulled him down toward me. Even though he slouches, he is so tall.
"What?" Shinji said surprised and I kissed him. Oh god, wait, what am I doing? Before I could try to stop the kiss, Shinji grabbed me and pulled me closer to him. After a few seconds I pushed him away and out of the door.
"Bye" I said before closing the door on him. I felt a blush in my cheeks as I heard him laugh and walk away from the door.
A/N- Thank you KashinaKairi for the review (I am trying to stay in character… but I think I am failing at it…) and Monkey D. Writer for the review (Shinji is my fav character so yes it's becoming a love story, trying to build up their relationship before I unveil the dad thing… or might just unveil it next chapter)
I actually went searching for English books that were translated into Japanese and I could not find many…
