Chapter 4 of Watching

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Hana Kimi characters, Hisaya Nakajo does, so please don't sue.

I am soooooooooooooooo sorry for not updating sooner, but I've been doing so much! Sorry!

Thank you to the people who have given me suggestions for Mizuki's character! My friend gave me an idea of whom I should use for her, and it's a movie character, so I'm changing my contest to dress up as your favorite movie character contest! I'm still awaiting ideas; only 2 people have given me ideas so far!

Well, enjoy!

Back in the Room

Apparently, Mizuki didn't catch on that Sano was mad at something, because she asked, "Sano, why are you taking us back so soon, and I didn't finish my food?"

'Silence'

"Sano?'

"I needed to find somewhere where we could speak -in private" he looked around suspiciously before letting Ashiya and himself in their dorm.

"About what?"

By now, they were in the room and could talk properly.

"I've just got to ask, is Nanba treating you alright?"

"Everything's fine, Sano. What are you worried about, it's not as if he'll do anything to me, I'm a guy, remember."

"Fine, have it your way."

With that, he stomped off to take a shower.

"What was he talking about, Doctor?" she asked when she saw him later.

He burst out with laughter when she told him, and she left with an extremely puzzled look on her face with him still gasping on the floor.

After that incident, she decided to go outside and walk Yuujiro.

"How are you, boy? I know, I've been busy this past week, I haven't taken you for a walk."

It was almost 6pm, and the light was fading fast, so she decided to make it quick; just to fill up the time while Sano was in the shower.

She was putting Yuujiro back in the doghouse, when a figure suddenly stepped out from behind the bushes surrounding the gate.

"Hello, my pet. You do look lovely tonight."

Ashiya obviously thought nothing of it, and as the figure stepped into the light, she gave a quiet, "Oh, it's you!"

"Yes, it's me, and there's something I would like to before I let you pass."

By now, Mizuki was starting to get suspicious.

"What-what is it?" she asked timidly, eyeing the figure cautiously.

"I would like to kiss you."

"What! B-but, I'm a guy!" she stammered, as he backed her up into a tree.

By now, it was getting very dark.

"No, you're not, my sweet. I've figured out your secret."

He was a few inches from her face by now, and had one of his hands on her shoulder, another on her hip, which she was trying, with no avail, to shake off.

"But wait, I'm not-"

Before she could turn her head, he had his mouth on hers. He kissed her fiercely, pushing his tongue against her lips, asking for an entry. She finally gave in; stopped struggling and opened her mouth. I guess she did it because there was nothing much else to do. Plus, it must have felt pretty good. Their tongues collided until she finally, despite not wanting to, moaned into his mouth (that might also have had something to do with his hand, which had traveled from her hip to a sensitive spot on her side.)

He suddenly stopped and whispered in her ear, "I'll give you more next time, my sweet, if you don't tell. And I know you wouldn't, because you like it so much." He smirked.

When she started to say something, he cut her off by adding, "And if you even think of mentioning this to your boyfriend, Sano, I'll tell everyone your secret.

With that, he walked off into the night, leaving Mizuki stunned and breathless, standing in the middle of the bushes. She walked back to her room in such a dazed condition, that she didn't even hear when Sano asked her something.

"Uh, Mizuki? Hello, are you even listening?"

"Oh, sorry Sano, just thinking. What?"

"I asked you why you were gone so long." Concern swept across his face. He was always worried about Mizuki, I don't know why she never got the hint.

"Oh, I just took a long walk with Yuujiro, that's all." She faked a smile that anyone could see through, and went in the bathroom to change.

Sano looked like he didn't quite believe her, but went to bed all the same.

When she had trooped out and got into bed, she recalled the night's events. 'I wonder, why didn't Yuujiro bark?' Then, it occured to her. 'That guy must have slipped a sleeping draft into his food bowl, that's why he was so sleepy and wanted to go back early!' She thought back to what the man had said in his departing words-'If you even think of mentioning this to your boyfriend, Sano, I'll tell everyone your secret.'

"Oh, God, now what am I going to do!"

Thanks sooooo much for reading! I know this chapter was sort of veering away from the story of the movie character contest, but I had to make a complication in the story, and I had to explain why Nanba (Yeah, I think you've all figured out it was him) was being weird to Mizuki in the previous chapters. Next chapter will have the first part of the contest, and you'll figure out whom it is Mizuki is going to dress up as! I'm still open for suggestions for Mizuki, by the way, I NEED MORE!!!

Thanks to everyone for reading and reviewing!

Till next update,
