SAKE KONOAKICHI'S POV:
Ok. I need another plan, because I can't approach her the same way. She almost gave me an opening by asking me what I meant, but stupid Asahi ruined that for me! Thanks Haha, you gave me a brother who ruins everything. I've been training hard for this moment, I mean- we've been friends ever since 8th grade. Okay, I need to calm down. I need another opening. I've been working hard to make it seem like we were 'just friends' for a while so this moment would present itself! Another message dinged on Idoiko's phone, but she didn't move- she didn't even blink. Oh this is perfect. So… she won't mind if i just… oh so tenderly touch her hip~ you know, test the waters a lil'.
CHIJUKU'S POV:
I was busy pulling out weeds in my garden, when I heard Sake Konoakichi- one I haven't had to talk to my vessel about recently. Though Idoiko might not have heard him, I can hear him talking in his head. I… I kinda wanna know what he's talking about, because my senses are screaming at me. No seriously, I can't even hear myself screaming. "SHUT UP!" …Oh thank goodness they stopped. Now, if only I could tune in on… son of a BITCH. There's no way on human grounds- I mean… I think it's called… ert? ..No, I think it's earts. Yeah, earts. There's no way on earts that I will let that happen to this red-headed child. …*SIGH* I can't help but think- ugh! I just still think that I'm getting it wrong again…- wait… what if it was Earth? ….No, that's still not right… I'll just stick with earts.
SAKE KONOAKICHI'S POV:
Just- gently reach, annndd- "What are you doing, Sake?" I jerked my hand back as her head turned to look down at her hip. As her cherry red magenta hair fell to curtain around her face, I couldn't help but notice the sudden tint of violet in her eyes. I jerked back when she actually looked at me. "I'm guessing there's something on your mind? Tell me." …Don't tell me- "What do you mean, Idoik-" "I see you were about to touch me. Can I help you with something, Sake?" …Okay- what the heck, I was so close! "Ah~ N-no, I think I'm alright." "Good." Suddenly, her head sprang up to reveal that her eyes weren't violet, but their regular green again. ….something's fishy here.
CHIJUKU'S POV:
….goddamnIT! 'He is 'onto us', Idoiko. Hey but not literally- I have prevented that from happening.' 'What the hell? Let me use my body again!' 'I am not stopping you, you have not given me your body to control. And plus, kid- I am trying to help you. I was watering my plants, when I heard him talking about "testing the waters." After that, I took over your body because he was talkng about touching you to see your reaction, then raping you. Also I was a little straight-foward with that. My apologies.' '...What?' 'You heard me.' 'Well- then why didn't you whack 'em already!?' 'I do not want him to get suspicious.' 'well it's no use now- he's already suspicious.' 'No use? Well then I will leave you to handle it by yourself then, you ungrateful brat.' '...I hate you.' 'You are welcome. It is pretty hot in here anyways, human.' "Ugh…" She sprang her head up. "Sake- we should go."
SAKE KONOAKICHI'S POV:
Okay- yeah, I am kinda… I'm confused.
CHIJUKU'S POV:
You better be, you dirty minded rat.
SAKE KONOAKICHI'S POV:
I'm gonna ask her about this.
CHIJUKU'S POV:
…Do it.
SAKE KONOAKICHI'S POV:
And I'm gonna make sure I get an answer.
CHIJUKU'S POV:
OH, I DARE YOU TO!
SAKE KONOAKICHI'S POV:
…And then I'm gonna have to tell Tanaka it didn't work.
CHIJUKU'S POV:
…Wait what?
SAKE KONOAKICHI'S POV:
Because of his 23 idea of a prank on Idoiko, I… I could've just lost the most precious friendship I've ever started.
CHIJUKU'S POV:
…. 'I TOLD YOU, BITCH!' 'You really didn't.' 'LET ME GO!' 'Fine.' If this brat wants me to let her go, then I will. 'I heard that!' 'Of course you did. We're in the spirit realm right next to each other. You can't 'not' here me.' '...Why do you always feel the need to bully me?' I actually…. I.. I really don't know. Huh. Gotta work on that.
SUEO'S POV:
I held my head with one hand while pacing back and forth franticly. What on earth is she doing?! Having a baby? Making a cake? Riding a bike? Tricycle? With training wheels? The train? Did someone cut off her hands? What is so important to the point where she can't even pick up her phone? ….Or maybe she's spending time with her cousin…. Augh. Now I feel even more bad. I left her at a crucial moment. This is really important for her, and I just… left! But we both have important weights on our shoulders at the moment, and that causes a lot, of complications. I just wish she would… I don't even know if she's still at the- oh, I feel like I'm going crazy. It feels like the trauma is happening all over again. I begin to care for someone, then.. POOF- they're gone, or dead because of me. Right in front of my eyes. I can't let that happen again… but there's also the possibility that this is not illegal. I mean that they could've just taken him somewhe- they could be coming back. ….Wait, no- I just noticed that… none of the other kids were… there- I'VE BEEN SET UP! What the fuck, I've been set up. This was their plan- all along, They must've known what I was here for. I mean- why'd he go inside, then come back out? I should've known that that was fishy! My phone is about to fall out of my hands from how much they're shaking. Okay.. one more, I've already sent like- five hundred of them, but one more text is what I'm hoping will save me- what I'm hoping will save Sako.
IDOIKO'S POV:
fuck- this sucks. I gotta- DING! My phone went off for the hundredth time. "OH WOULD YOU SHUT UP ALREAD-" TSUYOKU, NARE- "WHOEVER YOU ARE- ARE YOU THE ONE WHO KEEPS BLOWING UP MY damn PHONE? M- And no, I didn't look at who it was."
"Idoiko, I'm in big trouble."
…Oh… oh. it's him. What a surprise! I totally don't want to curse him out right now! "Oh- It's you. So now you wanna talk to me?"
"...I was bus-"
"Don't even try to say you were busy. You were just here with me earlier!"
"Idoiko- just like you have important matters littered across your hands, so do-"
"Important matters? Finally we agree for once."
"Idoiko, I'm sorry, b-"
"SORRY!? You better be! You have no idea how much pain I'm in right now!"
"Right, I kn-"
"NO! YOU DON'T KNOW!"
"But I-"
"BUT NOTHING. THE ONLY BUT IS "BUT IF YOU WOULD'VE BEEN HERE, YOU WOULD'VE KNOWN WHAT HE SAID TO ME!""
"I Understand th-"
"NO YOU DON'T!"
"I w-"
"NO YOU DON'T!"
"Wou-"
"NO YOU DON'T!"
"Ido-"
"NO. YOU. DON'T!"
"Can yo-"
"NO YOU DON'T!"
"I re-"
"NO YOU DON'T!"
"WHAT U-"
"YOU NEVER DID!"
"I'M A-"
"You know what? Save your breath. I can't sit here and deal with mondai, on top of fucking mond-"
"SAKO GOT KIDNAPPED, GODdamnIT!"
….what? After a few seconds of just sitting there in silence, I went to my texts to see what he was actually saying.
SUEO:
Sueo: Idoiko, call me as soon as you can.
Sueo: Come on, pick up your phone.
Sueo: Are you in the bathroom? Are you going swimming? Your phone isn't water-proof, is it- Orokana Hito?
Sueo: Did you give your phone away?
Sueo: Can't pay the phone bill anymore?
Sueo: Seriously.
Sueo: Drop your phone running in the street?
Sueo: I'm serious. Call me back, Idoiko.
Sueo: I'm gonna call you soon.
Sueo: Don't make me go back to the hospital.
Sueo: I'm so serious I would kiss you.
Sueo: I'm kidding.
Sueo: I'm really worried now.
Sueo: Not about you, about your expensive phone.
Sueo: Okay that's it, I'm calling you now.
…And then that must've been when he called me.
"...Idoiko? Did y-"
"Sueo- you've been trying to tell me this the whole time?"
"Yeah, so next time listen when I tell you to shut your mouth sometimes."
…
"What- ho- w-when- I… I ju-"
"First off, you could say sorry. Second off, I don't have a car- so I need you to come to this location."
…Uhh-
"Well- like, I'm kinda in the middle of so-"
"Sako could be dead while you're still contemplating."
…DING! A text popped up on my phone. "Is that you?"
"Read it."
Okay, damn. I looked at my messages. ….o- Huh?
SUEO:
Sueo: I'm kidding.
Sueo: I'm really worried now.
Sueo: Not about you, about your expensive phone.
Sueo: Okay that's it, I'm calling you now.
Sueo: Tokuok avenue. Staku street, the small house that's brown and dirty as hell.
Oh, well damn. I actually thought that he was gonna say:
Sueo: Tokuok avenue. Staku street, the tall ass building that's brown and white, and surprisingly clean as hell.
Uhh- yeah.
"Have y-"
"I'm on my way."
He hung up as soon as I finished my last sentence. Oh well. And what does he mean by "I don't have a car-" Like- what do you mean, you don't have a car? I just rode in it- like- a week ago! So pathetic… "Idoiko…?" I flinched when Sake tapped my shoulder. "What's the problem?" Oooh, nothing. Wait- what if I actually said that? "Oooh, nothing." He blinked. "I'm not stu- …nevermind. Just- tell me what's go-" "NO TIME!" I yelled, running over to the door. "BUT IDOIKO- WAIT! WHAT ABOUT TENDO!? THE PAPERS, HIS MEDICATIONS! CHURRO TO- I MEANT KURRO TOO!" Oh well, Kurro's good by himself. And Tendo? ….He can *gulp* …wait. This is important, but my life is shitty- and I'm used to it. Like I said, it's mondai, on top of fucking mondai. For my non-japanese readers, mondai just means problem. Like mondai wo toku, which means to solve a problem. Or tonkyo mondai, which means environmental problems. Yeah. But I got used to having a lot of mondaiyo(problems), so I'll just deal with it- like always. BUT FEAR NOT! No need to take pity on me, I'm used to it. Ki ni shinai de.
