A/N: Woohoo! New chapter guys! :D And also, it's in Hitsugi's PoV again :p I think I might be writing more Hitsugi Pov chapters more than Chitaru :( I know I know but I think the anime focuses more on Chitaru's PoV anyways and we don't get enough of what Hitsugi is thinking sooo :p and Chitaru is actually a difficult character to write for me. Don't worry, I'm not gonna stop writing Chitaru PoV's xD the chapter after the next one is gonna be Chitaru's :3 3 Enjoy! If you got a tumblr and you're really into Akuma no Riddle, follow me! (akihaotaku)
IT'S UP TO FATE
PoV of Hitsugi 💙💙💙:
"A...a-achiuu!"
"What was that? It sounded like a very cute squeak." Chitaru suddenly froze up.
"Ah, Namatame-san was that you!?" I tried to keep my giggles in control.
"N-nope! No idea what that was!" She looked the other way and crossed her arms, blushing noticably. "I almost forgot." I hear her mumble. "My sneezes sound REALLY REALLY GIRLY."
"So that was you wasn't it? You sneezed!"
I couldn't help but to start grinning uncontrollably.
"N-no! Did not! What are you talking about!" Chitaru kept denying it, but we both knew what that sound was.
"Hahaha! Don't lie to me! You've got a super cute sneeze! It's really feminine!" I start to giggle and Chitaru begins to blush a bit more.
"Erm, yeah, I guess so, heheh." She gave a slightly embarassed smile. "W-well! I guess we should be heading up to our rooms now." She says with eagerness. She must really want to change the topic.
"Yeah, you're right." I say with a nod of approval.
"The information they gave us said that it should be at the top floor. Let's go."
Chitaru notices that I still had our bags from earlier. "Ah, here, let me carry those." She holds out her hand.
"It's alright. I got it." I reply.
"Okay. Well at least let me carry my bag." She gives a polite smile. I easily comply and hand her her bag.
"Thank you."
Suddenly Chitaru wraps her hand around around mine. I feel my heartbeat start to go up and an unfamiliar fluttering inside my chest. We arrive at the top floor and the elevator door slides open. A hall appears and two voices are able to be heard. We start to walk down the hall and turn, the owners of the voices are visible. One had short azure colored hair and held a small attendance book. She must be the dorm leader. The other had pig tailed orangey pink hair.
"Okay, let's go to our rooms!" I hear the orange haired girl say. Suddenly and abruptly she turns around, and smashes right into me.
"HYAA!" I fall to the floor along with my bear and bag. "Ouch..." I mutter.
"Oh no! I'm sorry, are you okay?" The girl apologizes.
"She's so small. An elementary student? Why are you here?" The other one says.
"Elemen-!" I start getting flustered at the assumption. I should be used to be being called an elementary student by now, but for some reason it always gets to me. "You're wro-!"
"That's the same thing I said an hour ago, but...She's not in elementary. She's actually a member of the Kurogumi. She just transferred." Chitaru says. I notice that her voice become a bit lower and more defensive than before.
"I see..." I hear the azure haired girl mutter.
"A classmate! Let's get along!" The orange haired girl grabs my hand as I'm about to get off the floor and starts shaking it quickly.
"It is a little hard to tell just by looking at her." Chitaru says. "I'm attendee number 9, Namatame Chitaru. I also just transferred." A princely aura starts to radiate off of her. I get up and pat myself off. "I'm attendee number 4, Kirigaya Hitsugi! Nice to meet you!" I give my best cheery smile. Chitaru once again takes my hand in hers.
"Number 13, Ichinose Haru! Nice to meet both of you!" The blue haired girl remained silent.
"Ehehe... That's Azuma Tokaku, number 1. Also temporary dorm leader. Let's get along, shall we?" Haru said. Did I hear her right?
Azuma? As in... Azuma of the east? Haru takes a look at the attendence book in Tokaku's hand.
"Ah, so Namatame-san and Kirigaya-san are in the same room, huh?" Haru says. "Were they friends before they got here?"
"Nope." Chitaru and I say in unison.
"Oh...ah..." Haru starts becoming flustered and looks as if she wants to say something.
"Then why are you two holding hands?" Tokaku asks.
"TOKAKU-SAN!" Haru yells.
"Well, that's what you wanted to know, right?" Tokaku retorts.
"Uh..." Haru starts to scratch her head, cofirming Tokaku's statement.
"It's because I don't want Kirigaya to get lost." Chitaru says. A shining aura seems to come off her.
"Namatame-san...thank you very much!" I felt touched by the gesture. Nobody ever cared about me that much. Not my mother. Not my father. They both abandoned me because they just decided one day that didn't want me anymore. It was the assassins who took me in. I've never felt happier than to be an assassin.
I always liked...
Bringing down my target.
"One hour ago in the station, Kirigaya was lost when I found her. She looked so nervous, but she told me that she needed to get to Myoujo academy, so I brought her here." She explained.
"Oh, how sweet!" Haru said.
"Yes, I really have no sense of direction and am terrible at reading maps," I said. "So I was really happy when Namatame-san had helped me. We're even in the same room!"
"It must be fate!" Haru smiles and clasps her hands together.
"It must be!" I reply. "Ah, I think we should get going. You two also have to take roll right?"
"Oh, that's right! Tokaku-san, come on!" She grabs Tokaku's hand and runs off the other direction.
"Good night." I muttered as they both ran off. Well, more like Haru pulling Tokaku along.
"I think we're in room 4 together, Namatame-san."
"Yeah, you're right."
How fortunate. The same room together?
It really must be fate.
