Small games, love claims
Chapter 3: Hidden and found
The night went on and sooner than later, the morning started to take over, and the sun shined over the city. And for Oga the morning started with a big guy with a big mustache and long eyelashes crying panicky, with Hilda besides him, trying to calm him down.
"I can't find my Takayuki-dono anywere! I can't transfer to find him, I can't locate him. Nothing. Where has he gone off? And without me!?"
"Calm down, Alaindelon. He'll come home eventually… He's probably just grumpy about yesterday and want us to feel bad for him.."
"I DO feel bad for him! Why aren't he coming home to me then?!"
"What's going on here.."
Yawned a pretty out-rested Oga as he stretched his armed upwards. "
"Who's Takayuki? Did he run off?"
"Takayuki… your best friend.."
Alaindelon said quietly. Oga watched him confused.
"Furuichi-dono!"
"Creep-ichi.."
Hilda continued. A light went up for Oga.
"OH! Him! Why didn't you just say so! Where has he gone?"
"I don't know!"
Sulked the big boy, not hiding away his concerned tears at all.
"I only can't locate people, when they are dead!"
"He's not dead Alaindelon."
Hilda tried to calm him down. Oga messed around with his hair.
"Naah, I don't think so… I mean, why would he want to die?"
"I sent him home late yesterday… He's probably home.. or lost."
"Well I checked home at his place! He's not there. And nowhere around here!"
Hilda started thinking.
"Maybe he's somewhere which is blocked of demons?"
Oga continued to mumble.
"But nobody besides us, knows about this… We have Kunieda and Kanzaki and people but I dought anyone of them would keep Furuichi at their place…"
"Then where is he?.."
_
Well it seemed like Oga was wrong this time. Well..kinda… It's not like Kunieda wanted to, but somehow, Furuichi had spent the rest of the night sleeping inside a closet in Kunieda's room. She was too nervous, letting the people at her place see him. Like if the red tails suddenly showed up. What would they think if they saw him? Quick reaction, would be, her blaming him for entering the house without permission. That she didn't know. She didn't like lying, especially not for her friends. So he just had to stay in her room, but in her closet. Not were her clothes were. No way. But in the locker closet, nothing expect a few jackets were there. Furuichi surprisingly slept quite OK in there, using some jackets as pillows at the wall and some of them over him, to keep him warm. It smelled…well.. it smelled like Kunieda, whatever kind of smell that was, but it was OK for Furuichi so he managed to sleep. Surprisingly too long.
"Kunieda-kun!"
Kunieda jumped up from where she had been sleeping. A few knocks on the door as she panicked up from her bed and automatically tried to remove any signs of 'creep-ichi' in her house. It was only typical that they would arrive now, well. At least she was wearing exactly what she wore yesterday, no way she would change with him in her house. Only he didn't snore or anything…
"Kunieda-kun, you there?"
It was Yuka who yelled in through the door, Kunieda could hear Nene trying to calm her voice down, telling her there were people sleeping here.
"C-Come in!"
Kunieda said, sitting down on the bed peacefully, also trying to remove a certain spirit, determined of making enjoyment out of female visitors. Jerk. He was even worse than Furuichi.
They entered the room quietly and sat down next to her in a circle.
"Why are you here? It's really early."
Kunieda said, smiling, trying to keep her calm.
Yuka was about to say something but Nene interrupted her.
"We don't usually come this early, I know. We apologize."
"I don't!"
Laughed Yuka, but Nene continued.
"But we heard about the truck that almost hit you yesterday, it must have been scary. You shouldn't walk along that late at night without anyone to watch you Aoi-kun…"
"The truck? A-ah yes. I got away though."
"Yes, but what if you didn't?"
"It's OK, Nene. I have trained enough to notice things before they happen. It's like a 6th sense."
"Well, fine. But you still need to watch out. "
And there they went, talking and talking. Eventually Yuka came up with the idea of a celebration that she went though it perfectly OK. Kunieda didn't find it necessary, and really just wanted to be alone at the moment, mostly to throw the invader out of the house. But after even Nene agreed, she couldn't exactly say no anymore. Then of course, Yuka noticed something.
"You smell that?"
She said, sniffing around the house. The other girls just watched her silently, some with a weird expression on their face.
"What is it?"
Ryoko said, trying to look around.
"Smells familiar."
Yuka continued, she started crawling around the house.
"It's a weird smell. Smells like…."
Kunieda was defiantly busted now. Yuka was crawling towards the locker Furuichi was locked in. She stopped up, making a dramatic turn towards the others.
"a creeper lolicon."
Kunieda bit her lip.
"W-what!? No. No way. I would never. No!"
Nene wrinkled her nose.
"Creep-ichi?..."
She turned to look at Kunieda.
"No, Aoi would never have him here.."
"No… She wouldn't"
Chiaki commented, Ryoko just watched the locker skeptical. Yuka scratched her chin skeptical as well.
"I don't know…"
"It's more likely she would place Oga in there."
"True."
Kunieda blushed.
"N-no! I wouldn't!"
"You would rather have Creep-ichi in there?"
"No…"
"So you do have Oga in there?"
"No! And not Furuichi either!"
"… Well Aoi would never lie to us, so we might as well trust her."
The others nodded in agreement. Kunieda smiled relieved. Then of course Mr. perverted spirit was going to open the locker. Kunieda bit her lip again.
"N-No!"
He just laughed and started opening the door, after unlocking it.
"Kunie-"
"M-MAYBE YOU SHOULD LEAVE NOW!"
"B-but-"
"Nice having you here, looking forward to our party, bye bye!"
She yelled, almost throwing them out of the room, and closing the door just as a white haired sleeping boy rolled out of the locked. Still asleep. Kunieda looked at the spirit with a face that could kill, he laughed and ran off. She walked towards Furuichi and watched him pathetically lying on the floor with legs in the closet and arms all over her floor. Normally she would notice that he actually had quite the cute face when he was sleeping so silently, she actually did. For a few seconds, before:
"SNNNNNNRRRRRRRRGGH."
He gave out a big snore, which made her jump and kick him hard, but weak enough in the face to just wake him up.
"Auch!"
"Wake up!"
"W-Wha… Hilda?..."
He watched her closer.
"Kunieda-senpai?"
"No…the toothfairy… It's me, wake up."
She grumbled, now pretty annoyed over all the trouble he had caused her.
"We need to get you out of this house… you almost got busted."
She sighed.
"Oh. Why, was somebody here?"
"Yes. In fact they were."
Furuichi then got up on his feet.
"Aw well. So, what are we going to do today, hmm?"
"Huh? We? No, no you are going home! I can't have you here."
"The beach, perfect!"
"W-what?! N-no!"
And with that he grabbed her wrist and pulled a stressed up Kunieda with him outside the house and towards the beach in a full hurry.
