Wait it Out
Chapter 2: Moving in
--Nanami's POV—
I stared up at the huge walls that surrounded the Sendo residence. It was similar in style to the Kasanoda residence, which made it easy to sneak in and out of either residence. Skipping along the outer wall, I came upon a tall young sapling which grew a decent distance from the wall. I grinned mischievously.
This is going to be fun.
Grabbing the thin trunk, I began to shimmy myself up the tree.
I must look like an idiot up in this tree. It's more like a beanpole than anything else.
Once I had past the wall, the tree started to bend. Leaning towards the wall, I continued my climb, which forced the tree to bend more. When I had gone as far as I could go, I was hanging just a foot over the wall. Smirking, I let go, falling safely onto the wall top while the tree bounced back into place.
I was right, that was fun.
Checking to make sure the guards weren't looking; I jumped down into the garden outside my old bedroom. Crouching beside a butterfly bush I waited a second before dashing towards the door that lead to my room. Once inside I stopped.
Now… What do I need to bring with me? I should pack kinda light since I will be carrying it… unless…
I let my thoughts wander as I roamed towards my closet. Grabbing both my backpack and a duffel bag I proceeded to stuff the backpack with my laptop and other electronics while I stuffed the duffel bag with clothes. After both bags were packed, I rolled up my futon and tied it up with my pillow. With that acomplished I slipped back out the door and towards the wall, chucking the duffel bag and bed over the wall before shimmying up after it, backpack slung over my shoulders.
I'm so glad I planted all those climbing ivy plants with mom when I was 5, makes the climb on this side sooo much easier.
Once I was over the wall I grabbed my duffel bag and bedroll. Making my way around the back of the house I came to one of the back gates. Once again hiding my stash, I skipped up to the door, knowing that it would be unguarded. Pulling out my lockpicking kit from my inside pocket, I started humming while I worked. Once I felt the click, I pushed the door open slowly before making my way inside and towards the garage. Slipping inside, I peered at the selection of cars and bikes. Drifting towards the back I found what I was looking for.
In the very back of the garage was my 15th birthday present from Tetsuya. The blue-green of the bike's frame was slightly dusty from its time in storage. Kicking out the kickstand, I pushed it towards the front of the garage and outside. Strapping the bags to the back, I made my way back towards the Kasanoda household, humming the tune of Looking Glass*.
--Ritsu's POV—
It had been over 2 hours since Tetsuya's sister left the house to fetch her things. I still can't think of what I should call her. I can't call her Sendo-san since she has left her family, and Nanami-san… well that sounds too informal.
Geeze why is it so hard to think properly when it comes to girls?
"I'm baaaaaaaaack! Kasanoda-sama, Onii-chan, where are you? Oh! There you are!"
I looked to where the voice came from to see her blonde hair flying behind her as she ran towards me smiling, her luggage dragging behind her.
"I'm sorry I was gone for so long, the walk seemed a lot farther going back home than it was when I first came here."
I could feel my cheeks getting hot as she stared up at me, reminding me slightly of a puppy looking up at its owner.
"Th-that's ok, as l-long as you m-made it back safe."
"Kasanoda-sama, if I may be so bold, but you don't have to be so nervous around me. I promise I won't bite you or anything."
"M-MAH?!?!"
As I stood there, shaking with embarrassment, staring at her with wide-eyes, I couldn't help but notice her cheeks turning pink as she stared at me in…awe? Shaking her head suddenly, she turned her face to the left, facing my right shoulder, muttering.
"S-stop that Kasanoda-sama. I can't talk to you when you look like that."
I froze.
I knew it. She is scared of my face after all!
I looked down, ashamed.
And here I thought that I had finally found someone who…who…who wouldn't run away from me!
"Sorry…" I muttered sadly.
"I mean you really are just too adorable like that!"
--Nanami's POV—
I squeaked.
Oh Cripes I can't believe I just said that to Kasanoda-sama! I hope he isn't mad…
I glanced up at his face briefly, immediately regretting it. He was cute before but now it was just too much! I had the most indescribably urge to just glomp him right then and there.
He backed up a few steps, his arms up at weird angles and his face blending in perfectly with his bright red hair.
"WHA? Erm, Uh…" He began waving his arms around, undoubtedly at a loss for words.
I opened my mouth to apologize, but before I could say anything he turned awkwardly, then dashed down the hall before the words could leave my throat.
"I-...?"
I stood there, my mouth gaping as I watched him run. After he had rounded the corner I folded my arms across my chest, pouting.
"Hmf! Well that was rude… and I was TRYING TO APOLOGIZE!" I emphasized my last statement, hoping that he could still hear me.
Turning on my heel I picked up my duffel bag and bed from where I had laid them down during my earlier conversation. Turning down several halls I made it back to the room Onii-chan had taken me too before I ran off. Opening the door, I waltzed inside.
The room was basic, tatami mats covering the floors as the light from the window gave the room a warm late afternoon glow. Looking to my left I saw 2 doors. Opening each I saw that the one closest to me led to a decent sized closet while the other lead to a plain white bathroom complete with a shower. My bedroom itself was slightly rectangular in shape, with a low set table in the middle of the room with 4 cream floor pillows around it. On the right side of the room, opposite the bathroom were a line of bookshelves. Dropping my bags onto the floor, I began to unpack my belongings.
Onii-chan stopped by after a while and tried to help me unpack, but I told him that I had it, and I did. He grumbled about it for about 5 minutes, but eventually gave up and left to make his rounds. He did however tell me that Kasanoda-sama's father would want to speak with me personally in the morning. Making note of that I continued unpacking. When I had finally placed the last of my socks in their drawer I looked out the window.
"Oh my! I can't believe it's already dark outside!"
I proceeded into the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face before I threw on some pajamas. Pushing the table against the wall I unrolled my futon, the blue and green birds standing out against the brown branches on the white background. Once I had my bed rolled out I crawled in, making myself comfortable. Staring up at the ceiling, I made another note to go out and buy some glow in the dark stars as well as some new slipcovers for the floor cushions and perhaps a rug and shower curtain for the bathroom the next day.
This room really needs some more color. Oh well I will worry about that tomorrow…
Chapter End
Ai-chan: Yes, I ended this chapter colorfully. My inspiration for the bed and her future stuff are based off of potterybarn and also stores like why Louisville which has really awesome stuff…
Nanami: Hey Ai-chan… did you forget about that little * thingy you put in the story?
Ai-chan: …Nooo…
Nanami: Uh…huh…
Ai-chan: Yea the song Looking Glass is by a group called Hypnogaja. There is a youtube video for it called Haruhi's Looking Glass. I didn't make it, someone else did, but I love it and the song and just IT in general!
Kaoru: Ai-chan, you are beginning to ramble.
Ai-chan: *glomp* KAORU!!! Why are you here?
Kaoru: To tell people that they should…
