Part 10! Enjoy and Review!

This means WAR!

Surprise Attack!?

*recap*

Just then his eyes snapped open.

Her blood ran cold, her eyes locked with the ocean orbs. This cant be happening….she pleaded in her head.

"A-Akari…?" Slurred a sleepy Gill. "What are you doing…in my bed…?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Heh,heh….funny story actually…." Akai muttered scratching her head with her index finger.

His eyes suddenly widened and in took his scantily clad body. "Were you trying to take advantage of me!?"

"Ew! No!" She gasped while he shoved her roughly away from him, causing her to topple onto the floor. He pulled the sheet up to his chest and turned his back on her.

"Look, Gill! It's all just a big misunderstanding!" She exclaimed from her place on the floor, rubbing her sore bottom. "I heard you were sick, and I'm pretty sure I was conned into coming here for a visit cause when I walked in… the door was locked behind me! So then I was trying to get out, but the door knob came off in my hand, and well….WAIT! Are you blushing!?"

"NO!" He snapped shoving his face into his pillow.

"Yes you are!" She laughed, flinging an accusing finger at him. "I saw it! You actually are blushing!"

"Nawo hime nawt!" Came the muffled shout from the pillow.

"Oh, come on now!" She said giddily walking over to the side of the bed on her knees. "Why are you blushing?" She grabbed the pillow and tried to pull it out from under him but frowned when she saw he was holding onto it too.

"Shtop hit!" He yelled desperately trying to hold the pillow still. "Leaf me halone!"

"Um, I cant. The door is still locked, dummy. And now it doesn't even have a door knob." She gave another hearty tug on the pillow.

"Gyo haway!"

"Sheesh! Your resisting is making me only want to see it more! Come on, why are you blushing?" She teased. "Did I make you….nervous!?"

His head shot up and yelled, "No!" right in her face at the exact moment she pulled the pillow out from under him. His hands still held the pillow tightly, so when she pulled the pillow she pulled him as well. With a loud BANG! Both of them hit the floor and groaned. "Your fwoor ish swo hawd…" Akari complained from beneath the pillow that now covered her face. The thought suddenly entered her mind that Gill might drool in his sleep so she threw the pillow across the room in disgust.

Then instantly wished she hadn't.

Gill was hunched over her, a slender muscular arm was on either side of her head, and his deep blue eyes seemed to paralyze her. "What a horrible day…"She mumbled under her breath.

"You're blushing." He said matter-of-factly with a very self-satisfied smirk. Her hands flew to cover her blazing cheeks, and not wanting to lose the battle, she said, "So are you!" Even though he wasn't. But as if on cue, a rosy glow suddenly rushed to his cheeks. The smirk disappeared and his mouth became a slight pout, but his eyes still remained locked with hers.

"Heh, heh…cute." She said sarcastically grinning wickedly up at the pouting ogre. Then her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as his head dipped down and his lips met with hers. The knots erupted inside her stomach setting her heart to beat frantically inside her chest. This cant be happening! she screamed inside her head as he continued to kiss her forcefully. And then to her utter astonishment, she began to enjoy it! That is enough! Finally he started to let up and she shoved him off of her with all her might. Sliding across the floor until her back was up against a wall she wiped the back of her hand across her mouth and exclaimed, "What's wrong with you!? What do you think you are doing!?"

His face was the shade of one of his beloved tomatoes as he stuttered out, "I-I don't know…" His answer to both of her questions.

"You don't know? You don't know!?" She raved. "How can you not know!?"

"I don't know…" was all he could say, just as confused as she was.

"Are you even sick!?" She spat.

He shook his head slowly. "No, my father just told me to stay home today and when I objected he locked the door and threatened to ship me out of the country. I figured one day off couldn't hurt…"

"So you aren't even sick…" At least she didn't have to worry about catching a cold from him now. "That's it!" She spat, throwing her arms up in the air and getting to her feet. "I'm getting out of here this instant! Even if I have to break that stupid door down!!"

"Why don't you try the window?" Gill mumbled from his spot on the floor.

Akari slapped herself in the head mentally and charged toward the window opening it easily. Why didn't I think to try this sooner, I could have avoided that entire situation…. She had one leg dangling through the window, mumbling obscenities and ways in which she could murder Gill when she heard him call her name.

"Hey, Akari." He said, his back to her. She glanced over her shoulder only able to see half of his face. "Did I….make you nervous…?"

She could just picture the smug expression on his face and it made her feel like throwing up. "Why don't you dig yourself a hole and go DIE!?" She exclaimed before disappearing through the window and into the branches of a nearby tree.

He sat in the middle of the floor running his fingers through his hair. Then, he reached up to his bed where he grabbed his sheet and wrapped it around himself, making sure to cover his head from that annoying light that filled the room. Curling up on the floor he wished for sleep to come and prayed that what had just happened was a nightmare.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Akari was spitting bullets by the time she made it to the bar where Chihaya was happily humming and handed her a glass of lemonade with a grin. That did not help her mood one bit. She slammed her fist against the counter making the ice cubes inside the lemonade jump.

"Whooow….what's buggin' ya?" Chihaya said leaning on the counter across from her.

"You don't wanna know…." She muttered bitterly.

"Come on, you can tell me anything." He said encouragingly.

"No. You really don't want to know."

He scanned her up and down with his violet eyes, cupped his hand against his cheek, and made a show of whispering, "Is it that time of the month…?"

She slammed the counter again but this time with her foot.

"Okay, okay, not that…." He said backing away slowly. "Well if you don't tell me what's wrong, how do you expect me to help you?"

She ran her fingers through her hair then said, "Look, all I need is the name of a good hit man." He leaned back on the counter smiling at her while she continued her list of demands. "It's gotta be quick, its gotta be clean….I want it to look like the sucker just keeled over suddenly. But most importantly, I don't want to get caught up in it. It's incriminating just talking to you about it!" Then she sighed and took a sip of her lemonade.

"Gill, huh?" Chihaya guessed. "Too bad I don't know very many hit men. Would an assassin work?"

"No, no." She shook her head. "Assassins are too showy. Plus, they cost too much. I'm practically broke." She hopped down from the stool and placed her money for the drink on the counter. "Thanks anyway."

"Sorry I couldn't help." He said pushing her money back into her hand, insisting that she take it. She of course refused at first until he smiled at her in a way that said just take it. She walked toward the door and he called after her. "Aren't we meeting later to come up with ogre hunting plans?"

"Yeah sure." She said absentmindedly, turning to look at him over her shoulder. "Just come over to my house after you are done with work."

He smiled. "Where ya going?"

"Oh, just for a walk…I need to clear my head." She left the bar and leaned up against the door. How she wanted to tell him what was bothering her. But she couldn't do it. She couldn't tell anyone. It was just so, so….unbelievable that even now she wondered if it really happened. What could have possessed him to do that? She didn't know. She honestly didn't want to know, but she needed to. She had the tiniest suspicion that maybe that kiss had been one of his pranks in their war. But how cruel and low is that to kiss somebody as a prank!? But what peeved her more, was thinking of him kissing her and meaning for it to be a prank. And then that thought ticked her off all together.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gill woke up to his father bellowing. "Where the heck did she go!?" Hamilton yelled, checking behind the door and under the bed for the elusive brunette. "And what are you doing sleeping on the floor!?" Gill frowned into his arm that was cradling his head. Why am I on the floor?

Stupid. Don't you remember what you have done? (Shoulder Devil)

No…should I remember something…? (Regular Gill)

Um, yeah. You kind of kissed the crap out of poor unsuspecting Akari! (Shoulder Angel)

I did…what? (Regular Gill)

You kissed your sworn enemy!!!! (Shoulder Devil)

Wait that wasn't a dream!? (Regular Gill)

NO! (Shoulder Angel and Devil simultaneously)

Gill flung the sheet away and pushed past his bemused father to his dresser and quickly pulled on some clothes. "That's right, my Gilly." Laughed a happy Hamilton. "Go find your woman!"

"Yeah, I'm going to find her, and then I'm going to kill her!" Barked the angry blond as he hopped around on one foot trying to pull his sock on. "Wait…kill her…?" Hamilton asked, completely confused.

"Yes, I'm going to kill her! She seduced me!!!!!" He ranted, throwing his arms up in the air. There was no other way to explain his actions. She had to have had seduced him.

"That's great!" His father exclaimed, wrapping his son up in a hug, only to be pushed away as Gill searched the floor madly. "Where are my stupid loafers!?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh my!

She thinks it was a prank and he thinks she has seduced him!

What's gunna happen next!?
