I never run. I never run from a fight, but I'm not running, I'm hiding. I've secluded myself in the high tree tops with a colored gun, panting nervously as my eyes quickly shift around to see where the other person have also been hidden. This was war.
The other people of this water gun fight were already been taken out: Uotani, Hana, Tohru, Shigure, and Momiji. The other person left was Hatsuharu himself. Yuki found the game to be a bit childish and sat the game out, he'd rather watch than participate. I pegged him to be a chicken, but he rather be that than be an idiot. It was all in good fun, until I heard a tree branch breaking. I swiveled around to find where the noise came from, all the while trying to calm my fast beating heart.
"Boo!"
I slipped on the branch at the scare and snapped my eyes closed instinctively, but I wasn't plummeting. I opened my eyes hesitantly and found myself hanging in midair.
"What the heck!"
I struggled and struggled until a grunt from above me alerted that I wasn't alone,
"Stop struggling, Kyou or we'll both go down."
"Haru?"
"Stay still and I'll pull you up," the voice grunted. He pulled me up and onto the branch. I clung to him as he clung to me, our breathings were labored with relief.
"You could've injured yourself, Kyou. Don't ever scare me like that again," his breath was at my ear. I sneered as I side-glanced him,
"And who was it that scared me in the first place? This is solely your fault."
"I apologize, kitten."
"Apology not accepted, now let go of me," I replied with firmness and tried to elbow the Ox away, but he caught my offending hand. I was pressed closer to his body than necessary and hated every minute of it.
"Accept my sorry, Kyou," the Ox persisted. I gave in, if only it allowed me to escape him,
"Fine, apology accepted."
"Thank you," a kiss was placed on my right ear and then on my neck before jumping down onto the forest floor, "by the way, I won."
What the heck?
I looked down to see that Hatsuharu indeed wetted me. That sneaky, stupid cow!
