When she woke up, the night was already starting to cover Shinjuku. She stretched and yawned, accidentaly making the phone fall loudly on the floor, taking her back to reality.
She picked it up and stared again at the screen, absorbed in her thoughts.
Sitting up in the bed, eyes fixed on the message Shiki sent she thought about a correct answer she could give him.
She had to answer in the same fashion, but she never once have written poetry in her life.
Kanra sighed and stood up, making herself a coffee and sitting at her office desk, phone still in her hand.
She was half tempted to look for advice in her usual chatroom but she couldn't possibly ask for love advices, she had a reputation to protect, not to mention she posed as a man in that chatroom.
The thought that Shiki would surely mock her if he was watching, made her slightly angry. Somehow she could almost understand Shizu-chan now.
Taking a deep breath she started to write her reply. Slowly, letters after letters, words after words, erasing everything and starting over at least a hundred times before she was almost satisfied, she pushed "send" anyway and sighed with relief.
The prey of the Tiger ;
Run, run and run again.
She was almost starting to like that old fashionned courtship, she loved words and she liked poetry even if she never tried to write some herself. It always meant much more than it seemed to.
And she had to admit it made things much more interesting.
All of her precious encounters with "love" all were boring, the men and women were so predictable, she grew bored of them all very quickly, and they weren't even good in bed either.
She lost the will to try and lost interest. Something boring was not worth her time she thought.
Which is why she liked how Shiki did it.
Granted she always had an interest in Shiki as a smart and outstanding human, she now started to think of him as different from the crowd of human, not as a monster, but as close to a God, just like her.
She grabbed her jacket, put her phone in her pocket and decided to take a walk to Ikebukuro.
She needed fresh air and she would be delighted if Shizu-chan could start a chase, some exercise would do her good and would probably help her mind rest a little.
