Kagura ambled down the street, sighing all the way. She's going to school. But she doesn't want to go now that Okita told her about that. She still remembered what happened the other day...
Kagura's face turned all red when she saw the sadist caressing her cheek and grabbed Okita's wrist to flip his body over as an act of embarrassment. Once Sougo was laying flat on the ground, Kagura's face was full of furry and shock.
"You're not serious right?" she urged. Her heart was beating fast like a cheetah and her hands were becoming clammy. She stared at the sadist right in the eye who was lazily looking up at her.
His face was still, "Yeah," he stated, "I'm serious."
Her eyes widened and her face became stiff. This was not the answer she wanted. She slowly turned her back towards him and stumbled off. But as she grabbed the knob to his door, she heard him speak.
"Sorry... that I tried to kiss you."
...
Kagura's face reddened just thinking about it. Why would the sadist say such a thing? This is so unlike him! She slapped herself three times on the cheek. No! I mustn't think about it!
She stopped in her tracks but the thought slowly seeped back into her mind again.
"I'm going to make you realize your feelings for me."
She could feel her face burn up. How? How will he do it? And my feelings...
What feelings?
As she was finishing her flashbacks from two days ago, she had found herself at the front of school already. When she realized where she was, she paused for a moment. Then she took a deep breath and continued walking to her class.
By the time she got there, everyone was still out of their seats messing around like usual since their beloved teacher still wasn't there to tame the students. Kagura quietly proceeded to her new desk like everything she just saw was the everyday routine for the class.
Once the red head slumped into her seat, she tried to spot the certain sadist. Not that so she can confront him, but so she can avoid him.
Her eyes were exploring the room, "Where is he...?" the greedy girl mumbled to herself.
After a few minutes into her looking, she heard the door slide open. From suspicions, she peered over to see who it was. And when the redhead spot the unique color of hair, she immediately folded her arms on top of the desk and plopped her head over them so it would look like she was sleeping. Her heart instantly started to beat faster.
He's here!
Even with the loud background, Kagura could hear Okita's footsteps nearing. She listened to the thump of the backpack and him sitting in his chair. She's trying to imagine what the sadist's face looked like and whether if he is looking at her or not.
Oh please... Please tell me that he's not looking at me...
Why can't I just be invisible?
She clenched her fists.
Curse my bright hair...
"Okay everyone, get into your seats," ordered a familiar teacher voice.
The whole class soon got to their seats and the whole room was quiet. Kagura immediately knew it was Ginpachi sensei.
She heard his voice again, "Okay, so today we are going to talk about Ninja Turtles," the curly haired man explained, "First of all, the blue one..."
Kagura soon began to doze off at that point. She didn't feel like learning these kind of things today. Plus she didn't want to look up and risk seeing her rival staring at her. Even though there is a 90% chance that he has his sleeping mask on.
Then a thought occurred to her.
Maybe she should get a mask.
If she does, she wouldn't be able to see anyone when she sleeps, and no one can ever see her sleeping face either. No one will really look at her because they will be too mesmerized by whatever is on the sleeping mask. So this is why people have sleeping masks. Now to think what she should put on it. Something so dazzling that-
Thunk!
She stopped her thoughts when she realized that something just hit her. Kagura was suddenly engulfed with anger. The glutinous girl touched the part of her head that got whacked, there was a little bump. No surprise there since it felt like a tight pinch.
Who hit me?
Unless if it's Anego or Kyubei, they're gonna get it! Her back shot up and she inspected her perimeters to see who had done it.
She scanned the room, and nothing seemed to be suspicious. It felt like another day in the classroom. After a while, she slowly began to put her head back down on the desk. All well, I guess I'll go back to...
The red-head paused for a moment when she saw a smile creeping up on a certain boy's face.
That...
Her insides started bubbling.
That sadist...!
She was about to let out her usual wrath until she realized that the situation between them is still kind of awkward. She froze and reluctantly slumped her shoulders once again. She shouldn't make any trouble with him yet. It will just make things for complicated for her. She was about to go back to sleep until she felt another pinch on her arm.
Out of reflexes, she bolted from her seat and pointed directly at the boy next to her, "KORA! Stop throwing things at me you Sadist!"
Her eyes widened right after she blurted out that sentence. Her hands were over her mouth.
Shit! I really don't want to talk to him right now...!
He casually took off his sleeping mask as if this is a usual thing, "It's not my fault that you're so off guard today. Such a disappointment..." he looked off into the distance, "I expect better from you china." he said sarcastically.
Her right eye began to twitch. Whether she feels wavered or not doesn't change the fact that she wants to punch him in the stomach right now.
"Gin-chan!" Kagura bellowed, "I want a seat change!"
"Ma, ma..." Ginpachi-sensei calmly said, "Souchiro-kun, Kagura-chan, let's handle this later. Right now we are at the climax in Ninja Turtle's first movie. So lets save this for later, ne?"
Kagura really wanted to lash out her anger towards her beloved sensei. Why is a stupid movie more important than one of his favorite student's? In the end she reluctantly sat down in her seat. A frown appeared on her face as she shot a glare at her rival. Okita, in response to that glare, gave an evil smirk and slid his eye mask back over his eyes.
The glutinous girl clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white. What is up with him?! Is he trying to make her mad? Why is he acting like nothing had happened between them? Her grip loosened once she caught sight of the Sadist's desk.
It's still damaged.
Kagura's eyes were now full of curiosity. Why is it still the old one? She knows that they split the money cost so he should be able to buy a new one.
So why?
Why is it still here?
She wanted to ask him, but it would be awkward. Although... Does he think it's awkward?
He certainly still annoys her like usual. As if nothing happened.
So should she do the same thing? Act like nothing has happened between the two?
She would long that. For everything to return to normal.
She opened her mouth. But nothing came out. In a result she heaved a big sigh.
I'm such a wimp sometimes...
The end of the bell rings and Kagura was gathering her stuff when a large figure stood above her desk. She paused for a moment and slowly looked up, already knowing who it was by his "S" shirt.
"What?" Kagura asked with a hint of annoyance. She tried to sound strong but on the inside she was nervous to the bone.
He gave his usual smirk, "I just wanted to ask you a question," he answered.
Kagura was already getting out of her seat, "Don't wanna hear it," she lied.
He grabbed her shoulder, "Wait."
Kagura paused for a moment before she sat back down, heart thumping. She still feels uncomfortable when he touches her like that. Or in any way really.
"Aren't you wondering why I didn't change desks?" he asked.
The red head stared at him for awhile. Oh course she wants to know! Who wouldn't want to know? She would even trade some sokunbo to know the answer.
"Like hell I would be."
But never her pride.
She quickly got out of her seat and walked away, leaving the Sadist standing there, utterly shocked. But of course he didn't show it. He sat down and mumbled the answer anyhow. Even though no one was in the classroom except himself.
"I never changed desks because this one thing has so many precious memories to me. Ones that can never be replaced... Ones that are closest to me. Huh? What kind of memories you ask?" she sadly smirks, "Well of you and me of course." He patted the cracked desk and stared at the core of the damage.
"I'm going to make you realize your feelings for me..."
He placed his hand on top of his eyes and squeezed them shut.
Why did he have to go on and say that...?
The glutinous girl sat on her fluffy bed and stared up at her creme ceiling once again. She should've just been honest and said that she was interested and wanted to know. Why did her stupid pride have to get in the way?
With a loud sigh, she slowly got out of her bed and walked over to the other side of her bedroom, showing an average sized calendar nailed onto the wall. Kagura looked at it long and hard. As if she was waiting for something to magically come out of it. She gazed at the month before her.
December already...
There was only one more day before Winter Break. She had already made plans with Otae and her brother, Shinpachi. Kyuubei was already on vacation with her family at the Bahamas.
She faintly touched the page before letting her arms hang by her sides. The year is going by too fast. How can half of the school year disappear just like that? Probably because there is too much going on. She wished that time could just stop. Just for a moment. So she can catch up with time, and stay with it. Instead of it just leaving her in the dust...
Sometimes she wonders if she is the only one thinking this...
It's the next day and Ginpachi is talking about how winter is related to some sort of movies. Kagura stared at him but her head was filled with other thoughts. Ones that she thinks are more important at the moment. She feels all jittery. It's the last day of school before winter break, but it feels like the last day of her senior year. So who wouldn't be excited? She glanced at Otae who turns to face her and vaguely smile before looking back at the curly haired teacher.
When the last bell finally rings, Kagura bolted up from her seat and slammed her best friend's desk.
"You ready?" the red-head happily asks. She cannot wait to get out of here, and out of the Sadist's sight. She needs some time away from him.
"Yeah," the brunette finally said as she packed up the rest of her school supplies in her bag. She seemed to be a bit stressed, "Where's Shinpachi?"
She points over in the corner where the normal looking boy and Ginpachi-sensei are talking, "He's over there."
"Oh, okay," Otae paused for a moment, "Um... I know this is sudden but..." she bit her lip, "is it okay if a few other people join with us today?" she tried to smile when she asked that.
"Yeah, sure!" Kagura replied. She didn't know what the problem was. The more the merrier right? "Who's joining us?"
The brunette's eyes seemed to sadden before retaliating to her old self, "Well..."
"Otae-sama!" shouted the gorilla man, "Ready to go?"
Kagura's face turned blank. Gori-san... Out of all people... She took a big gulp.
The perverted gorilla man is joining us?!
"Oi, Kondo," scolded the mayo-lover in his calm tone, "Let's not go overboard and do things we don't want to do."
Mayonara is going with us too?! Wait... Her face began to turn melancholic. ...If he's coming doesn't that mean...
"But Hijikata-san," called out a familiar voice, "The one that is going overboard is you."
Oh no...
The black haired man made a fist at the one who made the comment, "How am I going overboard!?" he argued, "Do you really hate me that much!?"
Instead of replying, he stayed silent and glanced at his arch rival as she averted her eyes to the ground, face reddening by the second.
Otae eyed at Kagura with much pity. Sorry Kagura... she mentally said to her ...I would've said no to gorilla-san but he made a bet with me... and because of my competitiveness I couldn't refuse and lost. The punishment was that he could hang out with us. I decided to just let it go but I forgot that the three of them are like 3 peas in an annoying pod... Sorry...
Realizing what Kagura is feeling right now, she made a smiling face hoping to brighten the mood. "Okay everyone," she announced, "Shall we go?"
Everyone was screaming and shouting at one another like usual with their interesting yet hurtful comments and a few "light" punches here and there. Well, everyone was except two certain people that were walking at opposite sides of one another. Kagura would sometimes try to talk to Otae but most of the time she would try to see if Okita is looking at her in the corner of her eye.
They stopped at a place full of fresh snow. The sun was still out but it should set soon at around 5. They were just going to build a snowman but during that Otae got an idea to pump everyone up. She turned to face everyone.
"Hey, I have an idea..." she began with a smile on her face, "Lets have a snowball fight!"
Everyone was silent for a moment. All of them were thinking why would the brunette wanted to have a snowball fight out of all things.
Shinpachi was the first to speak, "Um, Aneoi... a snowball fight?"" he adjusted his glasses, "Aren't we a bit too old for that?"
Her bright smiling face instantly turned into a deadly one, "Old?" she spat, "We're never too old to have a snowball fight..." She scooped up some snow from the ground and formed it into a ball, "See?" she threw it at a tree leaving a small dent, "It can be a deadly game if we make it to be."
She turned back to us, having a ghostly smile on her face, "So we're playing... right?"
…
"Okay! These are the teams!" Hijikata announced, "Team 1 is Kondo, Sougo, and me," he paused for a moment, "And team 2 is Tae, Shinpachi, and the glutinous girl."
"Oi! Who are you calling a glutinous girl?" hollered the redhead with a vein popping on her forehead, "And why are we Team 2? We should be Team 1," she demanded.
The mayo lover just let out a puff of smoke, "Whatever, it doesn't matter."
"Yes it does, let us be Team 1!"
He made a pissed off face but then sighed, "Fine," he reluctantly agreed, "you guys can be team 1."
She smiled with dignity, "And you guys are team 385."
"Why?!" he exclaimed, "Why are such a big number!? It makes no sense! Can't we just be team 2?"
While hearing this conversation, Okita was getting a bit agitated. He doesn't like seeing other people fighting with china. She should only fight with him. And only him... Not anyone else. Especially if it's Hijikata...
"You guys, calm down," Shinpachi scolded. He turned over to see his older sister, "So the object of the game is to see who is the last person standing, right?"
"Exactly," Otae replied.
"What's the prize?" one of them called out.
"Eh, nothing much," she smiled, "The losing team just have to pay for the winning team's dinner after this."
The now team 2 was silent for a moment. They realized that if they lose, they're going to have to pay for the monster girl's meal... so after that deadly dinner they probably won't have any money after that.
If they lose.
"ALRIIIIGHT!" Kagura bellowed, "Let's do this and win!" she made a quick glance at the spaced out Sadist before looking away. Good, he's not looking at her. She doesn't want to show how awkward and nervous she feels inside. The best way to pretend she feels normal...
"The fight starts in 15 minutes, find your base and make a plan. The boundaries are the field and the woods. That's all."
"Okay, so this is how we will do it." stated the 'captain' of the team, "Sougo, you will be the ambush, Toshi, you'll be in the center, and I'll be your backup."
The sadist raised his left hand, "Kondo-san, why does Hijikata-san get to be the center? Why can't he be the ambush?" He wants to be closest to his beloved Kondo. Plus he wants to have a bigger chance to fight with you-know-who.
"Because, Sougo, you are more quick and silent. Which is why I think you will be fit for the job." the gorilla-man explained.
He doesn't care. He wants to fill his needs, "I want to be in the center."
"No, you can't."
"I'll be there anyways."
"Sougo!" Kondo called out, "Stop it! You're acting like a little kid!"
The Sadist glanced over at his most hated person who was smirking evilly as he was smoking a cigarette.
Die Hijikata...
"So this is the plan," stated the brunette, "Everyone just go all out. There are no rules so just try to throw as many snowballs at each of them as much as you can."
"But Aneoi..." interrupts the normal looking boy, "Don't we just have to hit them with one snowball and they'll be out?"
The lady chuckles, "Oh Shin-chan, our goal isn't to just get them out..." she explained menacingly, "Our goal is to bury them deep in the snow and completely annihilate them...!"
His glasses almost fell, "Ha..." he positioned them, "I see..."
"Oh look Anego!" Kagura points at the school's clock, "15 minutes has passed-aru..."
"Okay you guys, find someone from the opposing team and-"
"HORAAAA!" called out a familiar voice.
The three of them turned around to find a snowball flying towards them which eventually hit Tae's brother's face.
"SHINPACHI!" exclaimed the red-head. She turned around to find the sandy haired boy to be the victim with his usual poker face. She gritted her teeth but didn't say anything. She doesn't want to talk to him yet.
Another ball came flying at Kagura which she quickly dodged with her natural reflexes. When she turned to where the direction of the snowball was thrown, she saw that the mayo-lover was the one who threw that. With a smile on her face, the glutinous girl created a humongo sized snowball and shoved it at him.
"Take that!"
The mayonara turned to Kagura and widened his eyes when he saw the snowball coming his way. He was too shocked to move. He knew this was the end for him. But before it could hit the man, Kondo jumped into the picture and blocked the blow for him with his body. He made a loud grunt and tumbled in the soft snow.
"Kondo-san!" Hijikata exclaimed. He ran towards the "injured" man and grabbed his cold hand, "Oi! Get a hold of yourself!"
"T-toshi..." he gave a weak smile, "Please... save yourself..." right after those words he closed his eyes shut and stayed like that.
Toshiro clenched his teeth and slowly got up, "You guys..." he strengthen his voice, "You guy will pay for-"
Another ball came hurdling towards the smoke addict. He immediately dodged it once he heard it coming. When he looked over to see who did it, he was furious, "Kora!" he started pointing fingers at the victim, "Where the hell do you think you're aiming!?" he questioned, "I'm on your fricken team!"
The boy with the red eyes turned his head, "Che, I missed..."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU MISSED?" he roared, "You were planning to hit me?!"
The sadist was quiet for a moment as he faced his back towards his enemy. Soon after he started manically running away to the forest.
"KORA!" hollered the mayo-lover, "WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?" before he can go on and chase after that annoying boy, he felt a hard, cold ball slapping at his face.
"Heh heh," gloated the redhead, "You shouldn't have let your guard down..."
He slowly touched his right, reddened cheek before falling to the ground.
"Damn you... snow..."
Kagura was walking deep within the woods. The sadist was the only one left in the game. So she and Anego are looking for him. She is kind of searching half heartedly though because she is still not sure if she wants to face him or not. She clenched her fists. She doesn't like being a wimp though. No matter how hard she tried, she can't seem to confront him anymore. Why is it always him that makes her feel like a cowardly idiot...?
She gritted her teeth. No, she can do this if she tried. She abruptly stopped and looked up in the darkening sky, "I can face him!" she hollered, "I can most definitely face him!"
"Oi," called out a familiar deadpanned voice, "What nonsense are you saying to yourself?"
Her head immediately jerked to where the sound was coming from. Her eyes widened when she saw the unique light brown hair standing in front of her, arms crossed. She almost fell backwards as she crouched down to bundle up some snow. With a loud grunt, she threw the ball towards her rival who swiftly dodged it by tilting his head to the side.
"Wh-Wh-why are you here?" she questioned. She's getting all jittery again.
He looked at her with his poker face, "What do you mean by that china?" he smirked, "I'm here because of the snowball fight remember?"
Her face burned up, "Y-you..."
His grin slowly got bigger but then turned into a frown when he looked over her shoulder. With a 'tsk', he went passed Kagura and in a swift motion, he unnoticeably grabbed her hand and ran towards a tree to crouch down, dragging the girl down with him.
"Wha-?" before she could say anything else, her mouth was covered by his tan hand. What is he doing?!
"Shh..." he stood still and stared at the figure walking towards them.
" .ta-san..." called out a voice, "Where are you...?"
Kagura widened her eyes, it was Anego. She's probably looking for the sadist to annihilate. She should probably let her know that he is here. She tried saying something but the boy somehow blocked all of the sounds coming from her. She was only able to make a little bit of noise that might as well been none at all. She was in frustration as she watched the brunette looking around violently as she kicked a few tree branches around.
She was looking at the broken branches and snow. This would actually be a really cool scenery for an art project. She tried memorizing the scene until her eyes somehow wandered down at the sadist's left hand.
Her eyes widened. Oh god...
Kagura had just realized something. The sadist's hand it not just near her. Nor is it just around her. It's actually touching her... right on her face. Right on her precious mouth.
And his other hand?
Another news flash.
It's snaking around her waist...
Her heart immediately started thumping. How could she have let this happen? Letting him so close to her? No, no, no, no... this must be a prank. She knew that she was ready to see him, but she was not ready to be in such close contact... not yet...
Actually, she would never be ready for him to embrace her waist like this...
The redhead closed her eyes. She cannot believe this is happening. No way this is all possible. Maybe this is all a dream. Maybe she is just imagining things. That she somehow got knocked out by a snowball and now her mind is just playing tricks with her...
But as she closed her eyes, all she saw was darkness. And instead, she could feel the soft, constant breathing on the back of her neck.
It's so warm...
She's getting the shivers down her spine...
and it's not from the cold.
Kagura popped her eyelids open, now knowing that this is not a dream. She tried to breath normally, saying that this is nothing to be worked up about. It's not like he is sexually harassing her or anything.
Not yet anyway.
When she felt a bit more calm, she gradually began to become more and more aware of her surroundings. While she saw how white the snow was, she also had suddenly realized how the Sadist's hands were, and surprisingly, large and warm...
...very, very warm...
She could almost-
...
Wait.
Why is all of her observations is of the Sadist...?
Just then, the boy had removed his hand and she quickly realized that the warmth was gone. She felt slightly disappointed. Like something left her...
Huh...?
Why did she feel a bit sad that he let go of her? It's not like she liked it or anything... If anything, she found it slightly irritating that he held her so close in such a familiar way.
"Okay, she's gone." he stated as he searched around the perimeters once more. His crimson eyes went back to the red-head, "Oi china," he deadpanned as he pointed at her, "What's up with that?"
She looked at him curiously, "Huh? What are you talking about?"
"Your face," he smirked, "Oh, is it because you're all sad that I let go of you?"
Her eyes widened. Wait, did I look disappointed just now?
"What?! No way!" she retaliated. She needs to cover this up, "You were just imagining things. Probably because you wished that I would be sad for such a pitiful reason."
He leaned forward, completely ignoring her previous combat, "Do you want me to hold you again? Is that it? Would you like that? Who knew you were that kind of person china?"
She backed away, "Like hell I want you to hold me you sadist!" she bellowed, "And let me get this straight, I am NOT like that damn it!"
"Then why didn't you do anything when I touched you the first time?"
She could feel her face burn up at the word 'touch'. He's totally enjoying this, "B-Because!" she stuttered, "You were holding me down, I couldn't move!"
"Correction, you couldn't speak," he pointed out, "You could've kicked me in the balls if you wanted to."
She gritted her teeth, "W-well..." Damn it, I can't think of anything, "Well I..."
His smile was continuously growing, "Ah, nothing to say to that I see."
The glutinous girl stood up robotically and was still for a moment, "I'm going." she stated. She doesn't want to embarrass herself any further, "See you later." As she began to walk away she heard his voice again.
"Wait."
Her heart skipped a beat. She paused for a moment. What does he want from her now? She swiftly turned around with a frown on her face. But before she could do anything, she felt a cold rush on her face.
Don't tell me...
She touches her nose. It melted into water.
She clenched her fist.
It was snow...
"KORA!" she roared. She cannot believe that just actually happened, "THAT'S CHEATING!"
"How was that cheating?" he shrugged with his palms facing upward, "All I did was get you out, fair and square. You just don't like the fact that I won this round."
She was cracking her knuckles, "You sadist...!" she was about to blow him a punch but stopped herself. For a while, she froze in that position but then lowered her hand and turned her head with a frown on her face.
She's not ready... to touch him again.
The bishounen faced boy just stared at the china girl, his face mirroring the girl's. He doesn't like this... Why is she acting like this? Why is she so introverted?
Why is she holding back?
"You..." he paused for a moment, debating whether or not he should ask the question. Kagura looked up at his face to listen to what he was about to say. His face looked pretty serious unlike his usual poker face. She rarely sees this face. What kind of question makes him looks like this? What kind of topic makes him look like this? His mouth slowly opened again, "...Why do you-"
"HORAAAA!" hollers a voice.
Before Kagura knew it, her arch rival was on the ground, face in the cold snow. On the back of his head was what use to be a snowball. Partially clear and white. Behind the body was Otae, smiling with her victory. "I finally got you..."
She looked up and found Kagura who was completely speechless, "Huh?" she blinked twice, "Kagura-chan? What are you doing here?"
No way...
"Kagura-chan...?"
Wasn't he just about to ask her a question? He was going to tell her something. Probably something important...
Oh my goood!
What was he going to ask? This is the worst timing ever in timings! It's even worse than when a girl is flirting with a taken boy and his girlfriend just happens to waltz into the room even though she is NOT suppose to be there. Like how Anego shouldn't be here! Why IS she here? Didn't she just leave minutes before? Didn't she already looked over this place? Why is she back? Why did she choose this time out of all times to throw the freakin ball?
The redhead looked down at his lifeless body, dumbfounded. Should she just ask him? No, that would be weird... and really awkward. Then what should she do? Should she try to forget? No... she has a feeling that she won't be able to forget...
This is going to bother her for a long, long time...
"Kagura-chan!"
She bolted her head up, "Huh?"
Otae was right in front of her, "Kagura-chan, what's the matter?" she asked, "I had to say your name 5 times to get your attention," she looked a bit worried, "Is anything wrong?"
She violently shook her head. She can't let her know about this, "Nope! I'm all good!" She stiffly walked passed her beloved Anego as she awkwardly laughed even though there was nothing funny to laugh about, "L-lets go eat some free food! A...ahahahaha!"
The brunette just stood there, speechless of what she just saw. "Huh...?" She tilted her head to the side with her finger touching her cheek.
"What's up with her...?"
