Chapter 7: Bottom Line
"You fucking idiot," Agito expressed.
"What the hell for," Ikki asked.
"Let's see ... I don't know maybe it has something to do with that fact that Myzuki basically threw herself at you and you let that fine piece of ass go to waste. Fuck, if you're that much of a pussy, then I should show her what a real man is made of." Agito smirked.
"I don't know dude. I don't think she is into guys that don't know what team they play on. She wants a guy that is confident in his sexuality, like me." Ikki said feeling self satisfied.
"Fuck that! You're nothing but a chicken shit crow," Agito replied.
While he was enjoying himself fucking with Ikki, Myzuki was having a bit of a tantrum.
"I can't believe that jerk," She thought to herself.
While arriving back at her home, which she just realized now that she left in such disarray. Her front door was left open. And that wasn't good since Kenshin and his little crew were in town. She glided up to her front porch and sat down to take off her AT's. When she heard a soft noise coming from inside the house, she shot up and strained her ear to hear what it was.
"Myzuki," someone said rather weakly from inside the house.
She turned around and lulled out, "What is it Takashi," was this day ever going to end for her. What other crap was laid in store for her. She was exhausted, humiliated. All she wanted to do at this point was take a long hot bath and go to bed, and forget about all this nonsense.
He peaked part of his head out of the door. He really didn't feel like getting the brunt of Myzuki's wrath. God only knows this was the quiet before the storm. Why and how did he let Kenshin talk him into to coming over here. He came out the rest of the way and leaned against the arch of the door way and said "You know Myzuki we will always be friends."
She didn't like when he used her name like that. It usually meant he was pissed, or she was in for one hell of a lecture. To be honest she was really in no mood for this.
"Is that so? Then tell me is it normal for friends to betray one another or is that just how you and Kenshin know who to express your loyalties to one another," She sneered.
He utterly looked flabbergasted. He was going to let Kenshin have when he got back. He would have just been honest with her from the beginning or maybe if he would of just dealt with this himself. He wouldn't be in such a predicament. Takashi always liked Myzuki she was like a sister to him and he felt a connection with her. He felt there bond was strong and not easily broken. Just goes to show you how wrong he really was.
"What? Are you serious? I have never betrayed you," He went on.
She laughed maniacally. Did he really think that she would buy into this BS? Please who was he fooling?
"You almost have me convinced. Next you're going to tell me that you had no idea that Kenshin was planning on stealing my regalia," She stated.
"You know what I tell you now is irrelevant. The damage had been done. Plus, you're too stubborn. Once you have made up your mind about something that's it. There isn't anyone alive that can change it. But think about this if you didn't have feelings for Kenshin then why are you so torn up about it? Why haven't you moved one," He replied coolly.
Myzuki was stunned. She felt her vision blur with the oncoming water works. It took everything she had to refrain from giving him the satisfaction that he hit a nerve.
"I think you need to leave," She bit out.
He was taken back, but quickly recovered. He ran to her and tackled her in a bear hug.
"Aw come one, you know I'm just teasing. No need to be so somber, He replied in a playful voice. He laid his forehead against hers and kissed her on the tip of her nose. She smacked him in the stomach and took a step back.
"Maybe you shouldn't be so flippant and be more serious for once in your life," She said.
"I am going to be perfectly honest with you. I am Kenshin's friend as well as yours. I am usually aware of all the foolishness that Kenshin gets into. Saying that doesn't mean I agree with everything he does, but I do trust him to do the right thing no matter what. I guess what I am trying to say is that if you ever loved him then you would have trusted him to do the right thing even if it seemed wrong at the moment." Takashi explained.
"I understand what you're saying, but I just can't bring myself to believe you. I agree with you to a certain extent, but I won't allow myself to be played for a fool. What would you do in my position? Have you ever tried thinking about it this way? What if and I am saying what if because I don't even know if Kenshin ever truly cared about me. Even so, what if he did love me, wouldn't that be enough to trust me, to let me know what's going on. He didn't though and kept me in the dark. Even now I know he is up to something and he won't just come out and say it. He sends you to do his dirty work." She argued.
Takashi just stood there speechless. He didn't know what to say. He was such in a daze that he hadn't notice Myzuki had made her way to the door and was standing inside of the house facing him.
"So, if you'll excuse me. I don't think there is anything left for us to talk about," She said irritated, and she slammed the door in his face.
"Damn that woman is hard headed," Kenshin muttered while watching from the shadows.
