Kazune: Er...(pokes Cuxie)What do we do now?
Karin: Maybe we should just wing it.
Kazune:(shrugs)Better than just sitting here. Roll chappy!
The four moved towards the helpless girl. Karin saw them moving forward and stood tall. "I don't know what you're talking about! I haven't done anything to any of you. Why don't you just leave me alone?!" she said much more confidently than she felt.
The leader snorted. "Didn't do anything to us?" she shoved Karin hard making her fall against the wall.
"Ow!" Karin yelled clutching her leg.
"You stole Kujyou-kun from us!" They shouted in unison.
"I was never yours to start with." All heads turned to see Kazune standing behind them.
"Kujyou-kun!" Kazune looked past them to see Karin on the floor and imediately rushed to her side. "Are you alright?" She nodded and bit her lip nervously. "What did you do to her?!" Kazune yelled at the four frightened girls.
"Kujyou-kun...it was for you. We know you probably just felt sorry for that little wench," she hissed, glaring at Karin. "We just didn't want you to have to suffer going to the dance with her. We love you!" His eyes narrowed as she said this and he stood towering over them.
"Who I go to the dance with is none of your concern. And I don't care for any of you. I choose Karin so stay out of it." he said firmly while Karin blushed. The Kazune-Z were tearing up.
"But why her?!" they demanded.
"Because I like her. So you might as well disband your little club. And if you ever so much as lay a finger on Karin again I'll make you all regret it." he said darkly. The four shivered and ran off, he glared after them.
His attention turned back to Karin and his eyes imediately softened. He kneeled back down beside her. "You okay? Can you get up?"
"I-I think so..." she stuttered. She tried to stand but winced and fell back down. "Ow! It hurts."
"Where?"
"My ankle." Kazune looked at her ankle. It looked a little red. "We should get you to the nurse." He swiftly lifted her up bridal style and carried her to the infirmary. She blushed beet red, trying to ignore the whispers and suspicious looks they were getting from their classmates.
"Hmm." The nurse looked pensive as she examined Karin's ankle. They were in the infiramary. The room was even brighter than Karin had anticipated. It wasn't the lighting either. The whole room was painted pure white, along with the palats and curtains. Karin was situated on a white futon kind of like a hospital bed. There was a curtain behind her, blocking who knows what, but it sure as hell wasn't a window.
"Is she going to be okay?" Kazune asked worriedly(a little OOC for him). Karin sat back quietly and watched.
"Oh she'll be fine!" the nurse confirmed cheerily. "Her ankle is sprained. But she should be fine in about 2 days."
"Will she be able to attend the dance on Friday?" he asked, breaking Karin from her thoughts. The dance. That's right. We're going together. She thought back to the Kazune-Z and Kazune-kun. He chose me. He likes me. She was fighting back a massive blush.
"She'll be as good as new in time fore the dance. Just make sure she doesn't move around too much and keep her foot elevated.
"Good. What's wrong Karin?" Kazune walked over to her and sat next to her on the bed. "You look a little red."
"I'm fine. So I guess I have to stay here for the rest of the day, huh?" she said thinking of just how boring that would be.
"To keep your foot elevated." The nurse came over to them. "You can go back to class young man." she said kindly. Kazune looked at her, and then back at Karin.
"If it's alright with you, I'd like to stay here with Karin." he said politely. The nurse looked between the two and smiled.
"My. What a caring boyfriend you have, miss. Of course you can stay! School ends in about 30 minutes anyway." Karin's blush came up full force and Kazune turned an alarming shade of pink. She decided to leave the two alone and resided to her office in the back of the infirmary.
"Uh...I-I'll go call Q and tell him to come pick us up." Kazune stuttered. Clearly looking for an excuse to escape this painfully awkward situation. Karin nodded and he left. The green-eyed girl sighed and reached for her school bag(which had magically appeared). She fumbled around inside until she found what she was looking for. The book on the Gods Kazune had given her. She quickly began leafing through the pages until she found something that interested her.
Athena - Goddess of wisdom, handicrafts, agriculture and reason. Sister of Ares, and is the daughter of Zeus. She is a virgin goddess as well.
Karin bowed her head low at the last part. Ugh. That is so...ugh. Kazune returned to find Karin bowed over a book.
"Are you...reading? Wow. I don't think I've ever seen you do that." he smirked. She scoffed.
"Of course I read! I am the goddess of wisdom, after all." she stated proudly. He sat down beside her and leaned over to see what she was reading.
"I see. Virgin goddess, huh?" he smirked holding back a laugh. Karin blushed and punched his arm.
"S-Shut-up! Let's just see what this has to say about Apollo..." she humphed leafing through the book again. "Aha! Here we go." She began reading aloud.
Apollo - God of the music, prophecies, and archery. Also said to be the god of light and truth. Is associated with the sun. Also referred to as...
She trailed of and didn't finish the rest.
"Referred to as...?" Kazune prompted. She shook her head.
"Nothing. It just said the son of Zeus." He rose an eyebrow at her before snatching the book away. "Hey!"
His smirk grew. "'Also referred to as the most beautiful of the gods.' Well that's definitely me." He closed the book, satisfied.
"You're so full of it!" she huffed turning away from him. She snatched the book back, and re-opened it.
"What now?"
"I wanna see what it says about Kazusa. What goddess was she again?"
"Artemis. Apollo's twin."
"Let's see..."
Artemis - Goddess of the hunt and wild things. Protector of the dewy young. She became associated with the moon. Apollo is her twin brother. Artemis is a virgin goddess.
"Well at least I'm not the only one." Karin sighed. Kazune looked amused.
"Well that's one less thing I have to worry about." he leaned back and closed his eyes. The brunette looked at him skeptically.
"Hmm...overprotective of her, huh? Honestly Kazune-kun. You need to relax more. Kazusa's a big girl."
"I know. Still. I could never see her with some random guy."
"Maybe it won't be some random guy. It could be Micchi for all we know."
"God! That's worse!" he yelled, shocked she would even suggest that. Karin sweatdropped.
"I was just using that as an example. Hey! I know he hasn't transformed yet, but do you know who's god ring Micchi has?"
"Uh...I think it was Hermes."
"Kay. Hermes..."
Hermes - God of flight, theives, and commerce. Messanger of the gods. He showed the way for the dead souls to Hades' realm. He shows up in more myths than any other god or goddess. Likes to trick people and is very inventive. Hermes invented the lyre using a turtle shell and sinew.
"That snake." Kazune growled. Karin once again sweatdropped.
"C'mon. Micchi's not that bad..." he rose an eyebrow. "...well, he's not always that bad." Kazune crossed his arms. "Okay. Like 50 percent of the time--"
"Kazune-kun. Hanazono-san. I'm hurt!" I voice declared from somewhere in the room.
"What the...?" Behind that same suspicious curtain was the snake himself. His head was wrapped in bandages, no doubt do to his little tango with the ceiling lantern earlier.
"So that's what you two are saying behind my back."
"GAH!! Micchi! How long have you been there?" Karin freaked. Kazune rolled his eyes and muttered something that sounded like "told ya so."
"I been here a good while now, love. Since that little accident." he offered. Kazune snickered, ignoring the obvious glare he was getting from Karin. "So, Kazune-kun...what was that you were saying about the dance before?" Micchi asked mischeviously. Kazune shot him a glare but decided to play dumb.
"I don't recall saying anything regarding the dance." He turned away.
"Heh. So are you going Hanazono-san?" he decided to turn his attention to Karin. Knowing she wasn't one to lie...and when she did she was horrible.
"Y-yeah. I'm going. Are you going Micchi?" she asked quickly before he could ask her the obvious next question.
"I--"
"Hello?" a soft voice called from the doorway. All three turned to see Himeka standing in the doorway and she smiled. "There you all are. Q-chan has the limo ready outside, Kazune-chan."
"Limo?" Karin asked skeptically.
"Yeah. I told him to bring the limo so you'd have more room since you need to keep your foot elevated and everything. " Kazune explained scratching the back of his head. Himeka nodded, yes-man style.
"Oh. Are you coming too Micchi?" she asked quietly. "You're more than welcome to stay for dinner." she said while Kazune gave her a "Why-Don't-You-Understand-That-I-Don't-Like-Him?" look.
"That sounds lovely Himeka-san!" Micchi cheered jumping up and following the group to the limo.
Kazune sighed. "She had to bring along the idiot." Karin looked at him.
"He's really not THAT bad."
Cuxie: This feels like a good place to stop. Somethings wrong with my edit page and I can't use my page breaks anymore! (cheeks puffed out in anger)
Kazune: He really is that bad.
Cuxie:(pokes Kazune hard) See? This is why you don't get paid. You keep forgetting to do your job.
Kazune: Oh! Right...R&R you guys. And stay tuned for the next chapter of "Goddess Kisses". Do I get my check now?
Cuxie: Yeah yeah...when hell freezes over and the devil gives free sleigh rides.
