Small games, love claims
Chapter 2: I could have been dead.
"K-kunieda?!"
A kind of frightened, pretty face covered in dark blue hair showed now clearly up in his vision.
"K-kunieda, w-what's going on!?"
"I saved you, that's what's going on. Now come on, before another truck comes along."
She said and reached out a hand for him. He watched it, and grabbed it, getting up on his feet. They both went to the side of the road as they saw another truck drive past. Furuichi was still kind of speechless of the situation.
"You saved me?... You saved me…. You saved me!"
He fell down on his knees again, hugging her legs tightly, face covered in a way to anime-looking waterfall of tears, sulking.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
He sulked and kept her legs so tightly into an embrace it almost made her loose her balance.
"A-ah! I-It's ok!"
She blushed kind of shocked.
"It's ok! Now shh, you're going wake the whole neighborhood!"
"No it's not OK! You could have been damaged, were you damaged?"
He took his time to study her legs and up toward her chest and face for 'damages', making her blush even more.
"O-or I could have been damaged! No, I could have died!"
Furuichi was panicking about this and Kunieda was getting pretty much attention from the neighborhood from it. She bit her lip, raised him up and grabbed a hold around his waist and with another hand over his mouth, keeping him silent and started running off.
"I-I'm going to find your home now, s-so stay quiet! We're getting too much attention."
Furuichi watched his surroundings as they ran forwards. He took her hand off his mouth.
"B-But I don't know this place…"
"W-what?!"
"I don't know where I am."
"B-but you walked this way!"
"I know… but I was in my thoughts!"
"… Are you completely sure?"
Furuichi watched his surroundings even more.
"Yes, yes I'm sure."
"D-Damn it! I don't know the surroundings either, so what now?"
"…We could just stay here outside in the cold you know. If either one of us gets cold, we could just snuggle up against-"
She face palmed him hard in the face.
"No."
"A-against a tree or something! T-that's what I was supposed to say! But If you so desperately want that kind of close contact to….-"
He placed his arms around her waist dearly from behind her and placed his head at her shoulder, purring into her ear.
"THE Takayuki Furuichi…. Then I won't say no."
Her face flushed at his contact as she shivered down her neck and spine.
"C-CREEP! I SHOULD HAVE LEFT YOU FOR DEAD!"
She yelled as she broke loose from his grip and started stomping away flushed and embarrassed.
"A-ah! Ok Ok! Kunieda, I'm sorry! "
He yelled, running after her.
"I'm sorry! Please. Continue! Did you have a plan?"
"No.."
"Nothing?"
"No… Or you could just go all the way back from where you went and you'll eventually get to Oga's house…"
"I-I don't remember the way!"
"ugh… Fine, then we will follow the path until it leads us somewhere… Maybe we will recognize something sooner or later… We have the whole night ..."
"The whole night... alone."
He priced himself with the words, snuggling himself up and smiling like a fool.
"The whole night, alone with the queen, Aoi Kunieda."
He grinned pleased with the thought, before he realized something.
"Oh, yes. Aoi, what-"
"Please don't use my first name.."
"Ah, ok. Kunieda-senpai. What were you doing outside this late?"
Kunieda seemed like she was thinking for a while before a small dust of pink on her cheeks came visible. Furuichi pouted a little again.
"Were you outside Oga's house, stalking him again?"
Her face flushed and yet again she panicked.
"W-WHAT, NO! A-and what do you mean by again!? I-I didn't- I wouldn't"
He looked at her with a pretty negatively convinced face. Kunieda continued.
"I-I was just taking a walk outside, a long walk! When I HAPPENED to pass by Oga's house and saw you fly outside the window and walk off in the middle of the night so I just thought I'd follow you, since it's dark.."
Clearly she was lying about the walk, but the rest seemed confident though.
"Ah! So you were worried about me! Well in that case it's ok. I forgive you for stalking him."
"I-I WASN'T-"
"Eeeh.. I wonder what Hilda-san would think if she knew about me almost being dead.."
Kunieda listened as he started talking for real, just hoping to find somewhere to drop him off soon.
_
Hilda had gotten herself to sleep as well and were lying in her bed, all hair down, probably not aware of Furuichi's situation, or maybe she was, at least she was sleeping now, and if she knew or not, she wasn't reacting much to it.
Oga was snoring in rhythm with Baby Beel and making it kind of hard for the family to sleep. Being extra tired, gives you extra heavy sleeping, yes? Don't tell me you have never have done it yourself before.
_
"Ah, look! My place."
Kunieda smiled as she clearly could see her place now. Furuichi grinned as well.
"Yes, finally! It was starting to get seriously cold!"
"What? Let's go inside!"
"…. You are able to find your way home yourself now, right?"
Furuichi saw the glare in her expression.
"B-but.."
He watched towards the road homewards, then stared at her.
"It's dark"
"I know."
"It's cold"
"I know."
"It's absolutely freezing! And lonely!"
"I know"
"Please Aoi, why-"
"My name, Furuichi…"
"Kunieda-senpai! Please!"
He fell down on his knees again, bringing out the best puppy face he had.
"Please let me stay here for the rest of the night!"
"No! I can't! I'm not allowed to have you here!"
"Not allowed?"
Kunieda messed a bit with her hair.
"W-well yeah… Nene kind of made this rule…"

Flashback
"Aoi-sama!"
"Ah, Nene! Have you finished up the new rule for the Red Tails already?"
"Yes, Aoi-sama. Look at this!"
Any Creepichi's aren't allowed into this building, even if the cause is doomsday.
Flashback end
"A-and that's how it is!"
"Oh, is that it?.."
Furuichi stood up and turned around, back towards her.
"I better just go home then…"
"Yes, that might be the best."
"In the dark cold lonely night"
"…yes, do that."
"Maybe I get hit by a truck again.."
"Then it would be your fault.."
"And then Oga would never love you."
"FRF- S-shut ut! Fine! Stay here for the night. But only if you sleep in another room than me, keep yourself hidden and don't tell anybody about this! EVER!"
"YES! Thank you Kunieda-senpai! I knew I could trust you!"
He grinned happily, hugging her tight around her waist, face on her chest, much to his own pleasure.
"Yes, yes… you can let go of me now.."
