Chapter 8
Communication
During the days while Shizuru was in hospital Reito and other formal HiMEs came to visit her. I was so pleased to see that everybody cared. Even Reito didn't make me angry, although it still hurts to see them like this, but during the moment when he brought ear plugs for her, I would kiss him if I could! 'What the hell would I do if I could?! I spend to much time with Shizuru!' when the fan girls came and kept talking without stopping I would kill them if it was possible and I think Shizuru noticed it too, after all she teased me with this every time when we were alone.
I still tried to ignore her, but her teasing was too much and my body always reacted to them by heat. I kept my promise and didn't try to communicate although it was really hard sometimes not to shout or try to comfort her.
Finally came the day for Shizuru's return back home. I was so happy that I almost jumped around the room. It is very good that she couldn't see me. I was glad to hear that Reito will take her by car and that she wouldn't have to use bus. The journey didn't take long and at last we drove toward her mansion. Reito was asked to go home and not worry about her what made me a little happier. Now I will be the only one with her 'Wait! Doesn't it mean she will try to talk with me again?'
"Reito come back you bastard!"
Of course he didn't hear me, nor did anyone else. Then it was Shizuru's maids who asked if she need any help, but they were immediately rejected. Although it took some time before they understood that she did need their help. Though I didn't want to stay with Shizuru alone fearing that she will start another conversation, but I also didn't want to see them by Shizuru's side. They always remind me Shizuru's fan girls who constantly pissed me off. When she started to tease them my hands immediately clenched into tight fists. I don't know why, but I always thought that Shizuru's teasing belongs only to me and no one else 'Do I really enjoy when she tease me?' Soon maids lost their hopes and Shizuru was a winner as always. Smiling she made her way towards bathroom and began to undress. My face started to burn like always, I turned around 'When will I be used to seeing her naked body? I can't be ashamed whole life!' Small giggle escaped from her mouth what made my body tense and me nervous 'I have a bad feeling about it…'
"Ara, so I was right. My angel really is following me everywhere" this comment made me blush even more, what made her giggle even harder "I don't mind my angel seeing me naked"
This time steam once more escaped from my ears 'Damn you Shizuru! It seems I will never be lonely without your teasing!' then was heard the running water. I sighed and looked at mirror which slowly became muddy. I stared at it trying to see something, to see myself. But nothing reflecting there wasn't similar to me 'Damn! It is so hard! I want to talk to her and at the same time I don't! What do I have to do?' I sighed once more and placed my hand on mirror, but I didn't expect the next thing which happened…
Uncertainly I moved my hand down and for my horror my handprint left on the mirror 'What?! How the hell did it happen!' I looked at my hand with terror in eyes.
"Why did you do that?!" I shouted shaking my hand and for my bigger horror water in the cabin stopped falling 'No!'
Immediately I began to breath on the mirror hoping to make it misty again, but it was useless and before I could think about something better, the cabin door opened. Terrified I turned around and saw Shizuru with her jaw down 'Damn! Now she will think I want to reply! Well I want, but… NO BUTS BAKA! You will put her in danger!' before any other thoughts ran through my mind I heard Shizuru's voice.
"Ara" my eyes immediately met with hers. She was still surprised what made me hate myself for my stupidity, then I saw her grinning 'Oh no! Now I'm in big trouble!' "Did MY angel watch too much 'Titanic'?"
Hearing it my jaw dropped 'Titanic?! What does she mean?!' it always comes slow to me, but when I understood what she meant, my body was going to explode!
"SHIZURU!!!" sad she didn't hear me.
"I wonder what my angel was imagining" she giggled.
"It's not what you think!" I shouted moving my hands in all directions.
Accidentally I touch the shampoo and conditioners bottles on the shelf, to my horror the bottles hit the floor making Shizuru look up in shock her mouth forming an 'O'.
"Is my angel trying to protest?"
'What in the world is happening?! Why can I move objects?! I have to get out of here before something horrible happens!' and the horrible thing did happen… I turned around wanting to run through the doors, but my right hand accidentally brushed her towel which made it onto the floor. My eyes became like tennis balls and my body boiled 'SHIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTT!!!'
"Ara," exclaimed Shizuru putting hand to her lips, but not trying to cover herself "I told my angel can see me naked, but I didn't say she can undress me… Ikezu" she smiled while looking as innocent as possible.
"It's not like that Shizuru!" 'BAKA! She doesn't hear you! Better run away before you do something stupid again!'
Listening to my inner thoughts, I ran away. Outside the bathroom, I stood near the wall trying to recover and put all things in my head in right places 'What is going on?! Why did I move the objects when I didn't want to!' I looked at my hands in front of me 'How does it work? HOW?!' Suddenly the door opened what made me jump and beautiful figure wrapped in towel entered the room.
"Ara, it is really cold there without my little, perverted angel' she winked moving towards the bed.
Embarrassment fully took control over my body making me all red "I'm not a PERVRT!"
'Damn you Shizuru! Sometimes I wish you would never find out about me! Your teasing will be worse that's for sure! How can you tease someone, when you don't even see him or her?!' I don't think I will be able to find an answer to this question. While I was wondering Shizuru was already in bed, reading another book. The view made me blush even more.
"Ara, is my angel enjoying the view?"
"SHIZURU!"
"I wonder where are you standing right now?"
'I wonder…' thinking I made my way towards Shizuru's nightstand. Clenching fingers into fists several times, I tried to move the lamp… nothing 'What? Why I can't move objects now? What am I doing wrong again?'
"Ara, did I go too far? Kanin na my angel" she apologised which made my heart beat faster, well if I had a heart… Hearing her low and sad voice was too painful, so I tried again but still nothing happened.
"Are you really angry at me or… something is wrong? You know, I never heard about people who can talk with their guardian angel. Maybe you are breaking some rules to communicate with me?"
'Hmm, you are close Shizuru but not exact' I smiled feeling relieve that she isn't upset anymore.
"Would you like to read book with me? It is pretty interesting"
'I would love too' my smile widened and I slowly lay down on the bed behind her, but not to close and if reading my mind she started to read. Finally I felt like I'm in heaven…
The first thing which I saw when I woke up was…
"Aaaaa!"
Reito was sitting near Shizuru's bed appreciating her beauty sleep, but what scared me was that his face was only inches away from mine. I don't know how it happened but Shizuru was lying in my arms and my chin was resting on her shoulder what means my face was covering her right cheek which Reito was going to kiss…
"No way!"
I screamed, jumping out of the bed just in time to miss his kiss, which slowly woke up Shizuru from her deep sleep. Uncertainly she opened her sleepy eyes and looked at Reito's bright smile.
"Good morning my sleepy hime!" he greeted her.
"Ara, Reito?"
"No, your father" he teased "Now wake up my hime!" he said pulling blankets off of her.
"Mou, Reito! Besides I'm not HiME anymore"
"I didn't mean it in that way, I meant princess" he smiled brightly.
"Do I look like princess?"
'You look like goddess, Shizuru' I smiled still sitting on the floor and looking at them. For my biggest pleasure Reito repeated my thoughts on which Shizuru blushed 'Sad that it isn't me who made her blush, but it's still nice to see it on her face'
After some more compliments Reito left the room letting Shizuru to change her pyjamas into something more daily. As soon as she started to change, I turned around and looked at the floor. During this time she didn't speak to me 'Why? Does she think that I'm pervert? Or maybe she doesn't want Reito to hear her? Yeh that must be the case… WAIT! Why do I want her to talk to me?! Didn't I promise that I won't communicate with her?! Aaaa! I'm gonna be crazy soon!' in a little while she was ready to go, but before leaving the room, she looked around. Smiling she pointed with her head to the door and opened it 'Does it mean you want me to follow?' big smile appeared on my face and standing I followed her. I would go after her anyway, but the thing that she wanted me to be by her side made me happier.
"So we are going to University together today?" asked Shizuru going downstairs with Reito and me behind them.
"Ara, who said we are going to University?"
"Pardon?" asked confused Shizuru.
"I informed them yesterday that you still need some rest and that I will take care over you today," he smiled brightly.
"Ara, so you will be my nurse today?"
"No, I will be you husband today" answered Reaito and took Shizuru bride style way.
"Ara…" said ashamed Shizuru with pink cheeks.
Reito only giggled and placed light kiss upon her lips "I hope you didn't change your mind"
"Ara, Never!"
"Good" still smiling, he carried her to his car.
I sat behind them still keeping eye on them. I was very happy to see Sizuru's delight face.
"So where are we going?"
"Hmm, would you like to see a movie?"
"Sure, which one?"
"Surprise" he grinned.
"Mou Reito, not fair" said Shizuru making disappointed face.
"Won't work Shi-zu-ru" he teased.
"I give up" she sighed.
"Good"
And so we drove away. If I was in Reito's place I don't think I would be able to bear with Shizuru's puppy eyes. Even now I wanted to hit him and force to tell her. It seems that he is much stronger than me… 'Who am I kidding? Of course he is! He is the same Shizuru but with little friend and without twins, I meant breasts! No wait… GAH!' thinking about their intimate places made me blush furiously and temperature in the car immediately rose.
"Its hot here" noticed Reito turning on conditioner 'It's your fault!' than I heard Shizuru's giggle "Why are you laughing" asked a little bit confused Reito.
"Nothing" replied Shizuru still smiling 'And yours too!'
Angry at them for making me think such perverted things, I crossed my arms and looked through the window still red. Some time later, blush finally fell from my face but not the smile on Shizuru's face 'Now she will tease me till I die once more…' before I could think about something else the car stopped. Looking through the window I saw big cinema and in the next moment Shizuru and Reito exited the car. Walking through the door I followed them. As I thought, Reito took her to a romantic comedy, so I didn't even try to remember the title 'Geez! How people can enjoy it? It's so boring! Maybe if it was drama, I would feel better... It would suit more in my case…' I sat there on one of free seat's and from the corner of my eye, I watched my beloved. She was sitting two rinds behind me, hugging Reito and sometimes sharing sweet kisses with him.
Gentle smile crossed my face, seeing Shizuru happy made me feel better 'I still wish it was me there with you, but it's not a fairy tale…although who could thought that something like HiME exists… GAH! Better not think about it and not to make some stupid hopes!' so the rest of the movie I spent staring at my feet 'I wonder when did my feet became so interesting? Well they are transparent, but still?' I know my thoughts are stupid sometimes but what can I do?
After watching this long and boring movie Reito and Shizuru went to the Amusement Park. They really had a lot of fun there. They were riding lots of rides, but most of them were for couples. In the love boat I needed to turn around, so I wouldn't stare. I have to admit that being with them in one boat was more painful than I expected. I will never admit it to anybody, but I really wanted to be the one with Shizuru here… The time was moving too slow today, but I'm sure for them it was different. I really don't have anything against Reito, but seeing them together for such a long time made me uncomfortable and somehow sad.
The last thing where they went was big wheel. It was already sunset and I bet the view was very nice, but I didn't go… I think they need some privacy too 'Damn! How will I bare seeing them like this everyday when they get married? Better not think about it at the moment. I wonder how she is?' I thought while looking at cabin where Shizuru and Reito were sitting.
When they were back on the ground I smiled seeing her happy face. She was so excited and happy that I just couldn't take my eyes from her.
"Beautiful…" I whispered quietly and followed behind them.
It was already dark, but it seems Reito wasn't planning to take her back home yet. Now we were approaching through the park where weak lights illuminate the paths. Walking some more they sat on one of the benches. Shizuru shivered a little so Reito gave her his jacket and than pressed her tighter to his body on what Shizuru responded with a hug. I stood not far from them near one of lanterns. They looked so peaceful and happy that I didn't know what to do or feel…
"Ookini for nice day, Reito" said Shizuru placing sweet kiss on his cheek.
"Everything for you" he whispered what made her smile wider "You know…" he said after some time "I was thinking here. Maybe we should make something like party to celebrate our engagement, I hope you won't change your mind"
"Never… And I think it is a nice idea" she cuddled even closer
"Glad to hear it"
"Where will we make it? And who would you like to invite?"
"I was thinking about using my mansion, of course if you don't mind"
"No, I don't"
"Good. About guests… well first of all we have to invite all our friends and as horrible as it sounds, our fan club too"
"Why do we need them?"
"Well we need to keep our popularity if we want to continue our family business so we also have to invite businessmen and businesswomen"
"I see…"
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. I won't allow them to annoy you. Only I can do it" he smiled.
"Mou Reito!" pouted Shizuru "besides you are not annoying to me"
"Good…"
They stayed like this for some time before they decided to go home. Shizuru asked Reito to stay, but he said that she needs a good rest at the moment. After all it was also hard day today. Sharing last kiss, Reito drove back leaving Shizuru and me near entrance door. She stood there for some time, watching Reito's car disappear in the distance.
"It was a nice day, don't you think?" she asked making me look at her.
Beautiful smile played on her face and I couldn't move my eyes away from her. I reached my hand, wanting to touch her, feel her 'So near…' but stopped 'yet so far…' clenching fingers in light fist I pulled it back 'I can't touch her, even if I was allowed…'
"Let's go home, it's getting called" said Shizuru opening the door.
Smiling a little bit, I followed after her. Shizuru slowly went upstairs to her room and than to the shower. Turning my back to her I looked at mirror pulling hands tightly to my sides. I didn't want another accident. After shower she went back to the room and lay on the bed with dreaming face. Looking at her I sat into the chair. After some time, she spoke again.
"You know, I never felt so happy before. It seems that my life soon will become as a dream"
'But mine as nightmare in the beginning, but don't worry I will get over it' I smiled lovingly still looking at her beautiful figure.
"It is nice to talk to someone, sad you can't answer me…" her smile faded a little.
"Shizuru…"
'She doesn't know me and I still make her sad? Why? Are we really so close? I can't bare it; I don't want her to be sad because of me… I…' I shut my eyes and opened them again looking at the comb near Shizuru's bed 'One time won't hurt, will it? I hope I will be able to do it…' Standing, I went to the nigh table and reach my arm. The thing I wanted to do was to move comb, to make Shizuru know that I'm here with her and that I'm sharing her happiness too. Taking deep breathe I tried to move comb and… it moved! I moved it till it finally fell from the desk and the hitting sound on the floor gained Shizuru's attention. Raising from the bed she looked in my direction.
"Ara?"
Watching her surprised face, I moved an alarm clock what made her mouth form another 'O' than it was replaced by big smile.
"You can move objects again?" She jumped from the bed "Please concentrate I'll be right back" she said running towards the drawer. I stood there watching how she was looking for something, but it seems she couldn't find it.
"Wait here! I'll be back in 5 minutes" she said standing on feet and showing with her hands that I don't have to move.
Finishing sentence she ran out of the room. I never saw her running before and seeing it made me smile 'I hope she won't fall over from excitement. So how does it work?' I looked at my hands trying to figure it out and then realization hit me 'Every time when I moved something I was sad. Well I was sad back then too… when Shizuru heard me for the first time, but I couldn't move anything later… maybe I can move and communicate when my love is clear and pure? Because then I was miserable and mad… I'm not sure but I think I'm right. I just have to concentrate on my true and pure feelings...' before I could go deeper into my thoughts, trying to figure out how my power works… Shizuru ran into the room with small box in her hands. She was all sweaty and it seems she will have to go to the shower once more. I stood there watching how sweat slowly ran down from her neck to her curves and listening her hard breathing made me feel hot 'I hope her maids didn't have nosebleed'
"I found it!' she breathed out smiling widely "Oh, it's getting warm here! Are you enjoying something?" she teased making me even hotter "Forgive me for my teasing but I can't help it" she giggled "I hope you still can move objects"
As prove I moved her alarm clock once more.
"Good! Now we will be able to communicate" smiling she sat on her bed, opening the box.
'I wonder what she has on her mind?' and as an answer she pulled out cards with hieroglyphs 'What? Does she want me to put words? It is stupid! I will be looking for ages to find correct symbol! Bad I didn't study English!'
"Ah! Found them" said Shizuru placing 2 cards on bed "Ok my dear angel, look. Here are 2 cards. On has writing 'Yes" and second "No'. I will ask you simple questions and I hope you will be able to answer me by moving one of this cards. Do you understand me?"
I let out breathe 'You made me worry there, Shizuru. Good thing you are smart and understand that it is stupid too look through all hieroglyphs. I hope my theory is right…' concentrating on my feelings I reached the arm and tried to move one of the cards. The card 'yes' moved from its place and Shizuru's smile became bigger than her face.
"Good! Now what question should I ask you? Oh I know! So you are my guardian angel?"
'Yes'
"And you are female, right?"
'Yes' 'I wouldn't allow male angel to go to bath with you!'
"And you are following after me everywhere?"
'Yes' 'Of course I'm following you everywhere! How can I leave you?'
"Even to the bathroom and toilet?"
My face turned red and I slowly moved the card 'Yes' 'Did you really had to ask it?'
Shizuru giggled what means temperature rose once more "You didn't have to move the card, I already felt your answer by rising temperature in the room" 'Damn you Shizuru! I knew you wanted to tease me!' "I wonder why the temperature rose today, during our ride. What kind of perverted thoughts did my angel have?" her smile turned into teasing one.
My body boiled and I quickly started to move another card 'No, no, no, no… no!'
"Ara, why are you so energetic? Maybe I did tell the truth?"
'DAMN YOU SHIZURU!!!'
"Ok, ok I will stop" she laughed "Another question, do you have a name?"
Calming down I answered her 'Yes' 'And what did she expect? Did she think I have something like number? If I did have it I don't think I would be able to remember it… There is too much angels there!'
"Is it Japanese one?"
'Yes'
"Oh! So I have a chance to guess it later. Will you talk with me later?"
'It's a hard question, you know? How should I answer her? If I say 'yes' and won't be able to answer she will be sad. If I will say 'No' she will be sad too… How about…' I reached my arms and moved both cards.
"Ara? Does it mean you are not sure?"
'Yes'
"Does it mean you don't know how to control your power?"
'Yes'
"Sad… I don't want to stop our conversation, but I think it is late and I should go to bed but before that I have one little but very important question"
Her last words made me somehow nerves, but I wanted to answer her and I hoped I would be able to help her in some case.
"Are you happy for me?" 'What? What do you mean Shizuru?' "Sorry if I confused you, I mean I would like to know your opinion about Reito and our marriage. I already made my decision but it would be nice to hear your opinion. After all you are my guardian angel" she smiled innocently and my ghost heart cracked.
'Is it really so important for you to know what I think? Shizuru I…I'm so happy that you are happy. I know it hurts sometimes to see you with Reito and know that I will never be with you… Is it how you felt towards me when I rejected you? I'm so sorry… Reito is good person and I see that you are really happy with him, so…' I reached my arm and once more moved the card.
'Yes'
Ok people I know you thought about something bigger but I made step forward didn't I? And besides I didn't do cliff hanger this time XD So you can have some rest :) Because in next chapter I plan to make engegement party :P So wait for it ;) And reviews are always welcome ;)
