Anyways, on with:
Chapter 13
The day was way too perfect…
I crouched a bit closer to Rikuo, he tensed, and I grabbed his hand a bit tighter. Seiichimaru had already warned the others.
"Mina, let's move faster, the school gates are about to close in five minutes!" Yura exclaimed.
"Like some stupid iron gates are able to stop us, baka!" yelled Itaku.
Yura got enraged and threatened to take out a Shikigami and yelled back, "Who are you calling an 'idiot', you feign?"
"Yura! Itaku! Now is not the time!" said Seiichimaru with such an authoritative voice that even Rikuo shivered. They both halted their attacks and just glared at each other.
I still had no idea who it was; just then it struck me: the reason why I can't identify the presence its because its human, yet I do feel a demonic aura surrounding that human. It has to be a member of the Shichinintai…
Rikuo had already figured as much… That idiot is always ahead of me, dammit!
Still I don't get why there's still youki surrounding them?
And then it was gone…
"Huh?"
Then Rikuo smirked, "He might have thought he could snatch you away from my grasp… My, what an idiot… Does he really not know who I am?" He then looked at me with those overconfident, cocky eyes… So mesmerizing! So…. Dammit, Kameko!
I blushed, looking away.
"Ha! You sound so confident… As expected from Rikuo-kun!" I huffed walking away from him.
What's wrong with this woman! Thought Rikuo… I sure can't seem to understand her…
"Guys, really… let's just get back before the school gates close," insisted Yura. Itaku just stared and then continued walking. We all followed suit. We arrived just a minute before it closed. The guard was a humongous bear youkai; I just sweatdropped at his dead stare.
After everybody said their goodbyes, Rikuo started walking towards me; I just ignored him and walked to the entrance of the girls' dorm. Yuki-Onna seemed to smile and Yura looked worried. After I was inside my room, I sighed in relief and dropped my bags on the floor. Just when I was about to change to my pajamas, I felt a presence. That's when I saw the black smoke settling near the window, the light of the moon shined through, illuminating the dark room. I knew who it was. And before I was about to say something, he had already closed the space between us, put a hand on the small of my back, I inhaled sharply and he placed his other hand to cover my mouth.
Those eyes… they where looking at me with… want? Desire?
I felt so many things at the same time: my heart was about to get a speed ticket for racing so fast, the hairs in the back of my neck raised, I felt goose bumps for the electricity our bodies where making, standing so close…
"Rikuo…" I managed to say, though my mouth was still covered. He then placed his index finger in my lips, and I had to fight a huge urge not to kiss them, and he whispered,
"I just wanted to make sure that you were ok…" His voice sounded so soft and mellow, I thought I was gonna melt like butter.
What is it about him that is so enticing? Why do I feel like this? I should dislike the bastard… yet; I can't seem to do so anymore…
And with that he disappeared.
I just stood there, paralyzed at to what just happened. I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
After I regained myself, I quickly changed into my pj's and walked straight into lalaland, dreaming about him.
The next morning, after I had showered and was walking back to my room, I thought about what had happened the night before, mainly Rikuo appearing in my room.
The fool! Who does he think he is appearing in my room just like that! And without my permission! That's an invasion of privacy! One that I cherish very much… how dares he! I'm can't let him think he has me wrapped around his finger? Oh no, he won't!
I walked to the cafeteria to meet the others for breakfast, still mad at Rikuo. It showed. I was eating fast (when I normally take my time… I'm youkai royalty, I can't be seen eating like a pig!), sipping my tea, burning my tongue and had not even spoken a word. Yura, Seiichimaru and Itaku just stared and sweatdropped at the sight.
When I was done, I stood up and left, yet without a word. Yura ran after me. She followed me to our homeroom. When I opened the door, I saw the person in question sitting in his assigned spot looking all tranquil. Hesmirked when he sensed my presence. I bet he's not gonna sense what I'm about to do next!
I walked towards him and gave him a very hard slap on the back of his head, making the room grow quiet.
"Oi! What was that for?" Rikuo sprung from his seat, with one clenched fist and the other hand soothing where he just got hit.
"Ha! You deserved it, you fool!" I yelled back.
"For what!" he yelled back, with death written all over his face but I wasn't scared. Not even an inch.
"For appearing in my room last night!" I yelled. He blushed madly and I… OH CRAP!
I then realized what I had just said.
Everyone in the room gasped.
She shouldn't have said that! Yura thought.
Oh shit! I shouldn't have said that! My mind screamed.
Dammit! She shouldn't have said that! Rikuo thought.
I was blushing tomato red and my mind went in overdrive: CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAPPITY CRAP!
Then the room erupted in murmurs and whistles and screams and sighs of dismay…
We both went to our seats quietly, embarrassed and with our hair covering our faces.
Oh damn! What did I just do! Now Nura is gonna hate me forever!
Meanwhile my mind was still screaming at me, Yura sat in front of me and stared at me with worried eyes, but she didn't say a thing. I was grateful. I wanted the ground to open and just swallow me… this is so embarrassing!
The whole day went by so fast; I thanked the Kami of the heavens for it. I didn't even dare to look at Rikuo the whole day. He was giving me the cold shoulder. Oh man, now he's mad… but it's his damn fault!
After class, the basketball team was going to have an open practice session, so Yura invited me to stay and watch. As long as I don't have to see Rikuo I'm fine…
Yura's P.O.V:
Yuki-Onna told me that Aotabo and the whole basketball team was having an open practice session and that we where all invited to stay and watch. She then ran off to tell the rest of the Nura Gumi members present in the school. I decided to tell Kameko, after today's incident, so that she can find the courage to talk to Rikuo and sort this out. Having those two behaving like 5 year olds isn't going to work for the long run; one of them has got to give in. The two are so proud and egotistical; it's just insane! They both like each other… why can't they just confess it!
After Kameko agreed to come, we walked towards the gym that is behind the school buildings. The place was already packed with students and other faculty members. Hmm, this is a game, not a practice session.
I sat between Kameko and Yuki-Onna, knowing that the latter dislikes the former. Why is she all worked up by this? She knows her master doesn't love her that way… this is beyond me…
And so the game began. Seiichimaru and Itaku, followed by Kurotabo and Kubinashi, walked towards where we were and sat beside Kameko. No signs of Rikuo. I sighed and fixed my eyes on the game. Aotabo and that other guy, that tall youkai member from the Nura Gumi, where the captains of the opposing teams. Everyone was talking sides: some yelling, "Aotabo!"; others yelling, "Shoei!"
Then Kameko asked me, "Who's that very tall youkai? The one with white hair and red highlights?" she said with interest.
"Oh, that is Hihi Shoei," Yuki-Onna explained. "He's a member of the Nura Clan, of the Clan of the Great Apes!" she seemed excited.
"Wow, he's so tall!'' Kameko exclaimed. I could see the hearts all over her eyes and face. I frowned… doesn't she like Rikuo? What is this all about?
"Who is Kameko drooling all over?" Itaku asked. "I don't see Rikuo anywhere…" he smirked.
Just then Kameko hit him in the head with her fist, "BAKA!"
"No, you are the stupid! What was that for?" he yelled angry.
She just crossed her arm and ignored him.
I sighed. This is never going to end…
