I decided to update a new chapter tonight while I'm alone tonight….My older brothers are out with my old man and my mom is still at the hospital with my little brother. I miss him! Waaaaah! *sniff* I'm sorry, anyways let's do this!
ooXooXooXoo
-Midnight-
The image of unnatural blue eyes was seared into my dreams as I struggled for air, a wicked smile told me my end was near. Voices were drowned out by my silent screams. No one could hear me. There was nothing left. The boy I thought I loved had abandoned me and as my eyes closed slowly so did my world….
"Ahh!" I screamed as I shot out of my bed.
My ears and tail had come out as I breathed heavily taking in my surroundings. I was in my room, the door was shut and the room was illuminated by the city lights.
I checked the time; it was almost two o'clock in the morning. I sighed my heart was still racing from my nightmare and stood. I stretched my sore limbs and opened the door wearily. The whole place was still dark and silent as I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a tea packet and put a cup of water in the microwave.
I leaned against the counter and listened to the mesmerizing sound of the microwave feeling my eyelids begin to droop.
Suddenly a cold hand clasped my shoulder. I yelped as I instinctively pulled my claws out and slashed at the person behind me. Feeling my claw make contact with flesh I quickly staggered back and turned on the dim stove light.
I felt a wave of guilt crash over me when I saw the person I had hit was Kish, a thin line of blood was beginning to fall from a horizontal cut under his left eye.
"For the love of-! Are you okay?!" I hissed feeling an odd mix of anger and concern.
He gently touched the blood with his index finger and looked at it.
Then he started laughing.
Great…..
He smiled as he looked at me "I have to say I actually kind of expected that."
I shook my head in annoyance as I retracted my claws. "I swear to god, one of these days I will kill you so hard you won't wake up in the afterlife."
He just chuckled again as I walked towards the sink. I took a towel and held it under the warm water for a minute before turning the faucet off and walking back over to Kish. I lifted the cloth to his face and dabbed at the wound.
"Ow!" He grimaced as I applied pressure to it.
"It's your fault you know." I said emotionlessly as I continued to clean the wound,
"I appreciate the sympathy." He replied rolling his eyes.
There was a pregnant silence as I finished cleaning the cut and put a bandage on it.
"There all better."
"It still hurts."
"What do you want me to do about it?" I asked folding my arms across my chest.
Another pause.
"Kiss it better." He stated simply.
I blushed and was about to yell at him and then I realized, he would NOT let me get away with that. My night was already long enough so I leaned over and gently pressed my lips to his injured cheek.
Pulling back almost immediately I studied his face.
He was smiling, not smirking but just smiling childishly.
"My lip hurts too."
"Not going to happen!" I snapped before turning back to continue making my tea.
A few minutes later…
Kish and I sat on the couch and somehow I ended up slumped against him with the two of us wrapped under the same blanket as we watched horror movies.
"Pft. This isn't scary…" My green haired counterpart complained.
"Um…I'm pretty sure it's called a 'Horror Movie' for a reason."
"They need to get their definition checked."
"You need to get your brain checked." I replied. "What do you find scary anyways?"
He pulled his gaze from the TV to me.
"A lot of things, most of them involving you." He said rather seriously.
Before I could register what he meant there was a sharp ear splitting scream as I turned to find the poor, unsuspecting blonde woman was getting her blood guzzled down by Dracula.
"I knew that would happen." I mumbled.
Kish nodded staring expectantly at the screen.
Finally the credits began to roll followed by the exaggerated music and the sound of a coffin creaking open.
Before I realized it, it was already four am. I yawned struggling to keep my eyes open.
"Tired?"
I nodded sleepily as I rested my head on his shoulder and let myself give in to the temptation of sleep.
*BZZZzzzzz, BZZZzzzzz*
I opened my eyes to find the source of the buzzing sound and instead found my green haired roomie lying across my chest.
"GYAAHH! Kish what the hell!" I shouted shoving him to the other side of the couch.
"Owwww, is it time to reprimand me already?"
I was about to continue my rant when the buzzing continued.
Realizing it was my phone going off I reached over and flipped it open to answer the call.
"Hello?" I asked groggily.
'Ichigo! Come quick! I just saw Lettuce walking to the library!" Mint's voice shouted from the other end.
I didn't have time to answer as she hung up right away leaving me with a blank buzzing sound signaling that she was gone.
I groaned and stood up to go get ready.
"What's up?" Kish asked from behind me.
"Going out. You stay here." I said as I walked into my room.
I pulled on a pair of jean shorts and a T-shirt with a rock band I liked on it and grabbed my purse preparing to leave.
ooXooXooXoo
I managed to leave the house relatively quickly (at least with Kish's level of profuse flirting.)
I ran down to the library where I spotted navy blue hair amongst the crowd moving on the sidewalk monotonously.
"Mint!" I called
The shorter girl turned to look at me and waved.
I managed to duck through the crowds and finally met her at the front door.
"About time." She said sticking her head up.
I rolled my eyes, she always found a way to be a jerk.
"So Lettuce is here?" I asked as we walked into the building.
Mint nodded her eyes scanning the room for the green haired individual.
We walked around the library in the uncomfortable silence.
"Are you sure you're not going senile?" I asked looking down at the now pissed off Mint.
"You're one to talk!" She snapped.
A series of shushes followed her comment.
"Mint? Ichigo?" A voice asked from behind us.
