Chapter 12
Through my eyes...I need more...
This room is stuffy.
The air is filled with thick intensive aura.
Everyone stood around the room, awkwardly.
Everyone was worried about this woman and the things she can do, but I was more worried with the fact that we're inside the teachers office at school.
Students aren't supposed to be in here.
I sighed softly to myself, tiredly and sore. I stood lonely in the corner with my hands in my pockets and leant my shoulder blaze resting against the wide glass-window.
Well, it's cooler in here then out there, the only bad thing is that I had to leave Shiratama outside.
I wonder what she's up to now? She's always been a wonder, running around and going missing for days before returning happily.
I looked at Thobari briefly. My interests perked a little as I saw the thick white book his hands, that and the fact his expression was slashed between surprised and fear.
I hide my amusement. I peered at the title of the book. National Youth Science Research Conference.
Oh, what a coincidence.
The school is one of the few among those who have been invited to the conference. So. There's somebody there she wants us to assassinate.
Okay. I've lost my interest in this.
I rubbed my eyes with a single hand. I tilted my head and peered around the room.
Riley stood behind the coach Thobari sat on. She was leaning against it with her hands touching the top, observing the conversation between Thobari and the creepy-woman.
Why does she always have to stand so close to him?
It's surprisingly frustrating, there is nothing great about him.
I let out a 'tusk' and rolled my head across the glass to look the other side.
Stupid Thobari. Always getting in the way.
I glared at the cupbards next to me.
Sorry, I've got nothing against you.
I turned my head back around to look back around the room. Kouichi looked pretty creepy in far corner, he stood in the shadows.
Now that I think about it, the white-haired male always had this strange thing about him, I'm not sure if I like it or not. He's a strange little man. Okay. So he's taller then me, but who isn't.
I blame them for being tall, it isn't that I'm small.
Oh. And besides, I still haven't forgiven him for stabbing me through the gut.
I still have the scar to prove it.
It's hard for me to label him a friend, he's a comrade at most, perhaps in time I can see him as a friend.
I snorted to myself, what kind of friend stabbed their own friend?
I have to let this go. Riley said that it's no good holding a grudge as because at the end...you won't feel better about it, but still, he's a strange man.
Even Riley has to agree with that.
Raimei was hugging her sealed sword.
Does she go everywhere with that?
I've even seen her talking to it, and even took it to school with her.
Doesn't any of the teachers get suspicious with it? It kind of stands out.
So much for discrete. I don't think Raimei understands that very much.
"The world of Nabari is a world of death! There is nothing unjust about assassination!"
Okay. That was strange.
The creepy-woman finally blew her cap.
I looked at her with half-lidded eyes. I watched bored as she panted. She tried to catch her breathe.
I wonder what Thobari said that got to her riddled up.
People getting so frustrated over nothing is funny. And it's bored me already.
Their conversation is very straight forward and holds little to any interest.
I closed my eyes briefly. I wished I still had my indifferent life, this is just so boring, why me?
Why'd I have that thing inside me.
The only good thing about this whole ideal is that…how strange, around the time this all started, Riley turned up.
That's a little suspicious too, only that was quickly cancelled out with her personality and the fact she really isn't a Ninja.
Seriously...
Riley is one of the must clumsy people I'll ever know, just last night she tripped over holding all the supplies for cooking. Said supplies made her t-shirt stand out.
Just like she said thought, we did meet before she found out what I was, and I'm not about to go lose her again. I just know for a matter of fact, she can't be Ninja, she isn't talented enough and that's saying something.
Besides, Riley said she'd always be by my side.
"Well, what do you think Rokujou-kun?"
Hm? I almost growled as the creepy-woman looked in my direction. Her eyes glowing, and stared at me.
Don't look at me. I hate her eyes, they're horrible. I wish she'd over look me.
Here we go again.
"How pathetic." she sighed, almost pitiful.
I hate it, I hate that tone and those eyes.
"You bury the anger of others so you can burden yourself with the pain." her voice cuts through my mind, her words circling around my mind.
They're mindlessly, nothing to me but yet, I felt something inside me shudder with did-appeasement.
With narrowed eyes, I looked at her. I rivalled her with my own burning eyes. I ravished in the slightly tremble that went through her body.
"I don't understand." I spoke, my voice emotionless, low and almost dark itself.
How strange.
"Stop, right now!" Thobari snapped.
The large man suddenly appeared in front of me. He tried to block my form with his own over baring body.
It happened all of a sudden.
My heart began to pound quite painfully, a loud buzzing filled my ears as her words sliced through my very soul.
"Your heart is truly lonely."
My body froze. I could almost feel the blood freeze within my veins. My stomach twisted painfully.
"You're afraid of hurting others, an even more afraid of other hurting you."
My body shook, I clenched my fists as it almost felt like my heart would rip through my chest.
What…What is she doing to me? I feel like I'm going to fall apart right now.
It hurts!
"How did it become like this?"
A sharp gasp ripped from my throat as I heard her voice fill my head, bouncing off everything.
It echoed through my ears. Imminently after hearing her voice, this image appeared in my head, burning brightly at me.
It was a clear area, glowing a burning white with black words flashing across the words.
Wisdom. It's the wisdom within my blood!
It was floating in the air. I stared blankly ahead.
...That woman was here too...Her long black hair fluttering around. Her trained eyes staring at the figure standing in the middle of the wisdom.
It was me, the real me.
My heart.
He looked almost like me, only…he was happy…almost in a dream-state.
She's…she is in my head!
In my heart!
She can see it, she can see me.
It hurts, it's like a film being burned into my mind-eye.
I can see it, smell it and it burns!
I really have no idea. When mother and father died…I probably cried a lot. I suppose I cried until my heart had died.
No!
Stop! Don't tell her that!
I wanted to beg my self not to answer her, but my voice wouldn't work.
My throat felt like it was being ripped apart. The glowing image of me, of my heart was baring it's fangs into my mind. It's own glowing green eyes staring blankly at me, smiling as it spoke.
Spoke of truth, spoke of lies, spoke of emotions, spoke of things I've tried to burry, things I wish to forget.
So I forgot that painful past, and now I can no longer recall where the truth in my empty heart resides.
"So you're not willing to lose anything?"
That's not it. You're wrong. Stop telling her this.
Just stop!
That's right, that's why I chose to be indifferent.
The woman's eyes softened. Her long black hair flows almost beautifully around her. My chest tightened as I saw her eyes closes, her head dipping lightly.
"As long as no one can touch you, then naturally you don't need to worry about being rejected." she whispered gently, her voice filling my mind void.
"I don't want to live so complicatedly." I wheezed out, and my shoulders shook.
The image of me, my heart, it won't go away. It's smiles, it's eyes wide and around.
I want to stop looking. My heart won't stop pounding.
"But the you inside won't stop talking." she quickly replied.
I suddenly felt the need to cry, my ears was aching from the loud buzzing.
She tilted her head slowly, her hands reaching up and gently pressing against her own chest. "
You wish to be indifferent. You thought as long as no can touch, you won't be hurt by rejection. So complicated." she whispered. "But that changed, didn't it?"
My heart froze, a sharp breath rips through my body. The hairs stood up and I waited.
I knew that my heart will answer.
I bite my bottom lip, preparing myself.
A large lump appeared in my throat.
That's right. It changed when My Riley came. She made it all better without realizing it. When I realized what it was, I wanted it, It wanted it badly.
I need it. My Riley doesn't understand.
I sometimes wonder if she will ever understand.
I don't want her to leave me.
I don't want to be alone anymore.
I need more love!
I struggled to breathe as my own voice, my own words fills my body.
I suddenly felt tired and beat-down. My throat felt dry and stomach twisted and flips. I let out a shaky breath as my head dips lowly.
The me inside, my heart's eyes suddenly closes. His lips gently curls together into a pleasant smile.
How foolish of you! There's nothing for you here. Stop interfering where you're not needed!
Her heart pounded as pain rips throughout her body. Her long black hair was pulled about as the Wisdom all around her began to glow a bright black colour, burning her eyes.
Two hands appeared, clenching her body. Long claws glows as they curls tightly around her.
Another woman glares down at her with a twisted grin. Long curls of white flutters throughout the area.
"Y-You're…"
You have worn out your welcome!
"Miharu!" A
famine voice called worriedly. It broke through my troubled mind.
I panted as I blinked my eyes. My hands shook as I realized what I was about to do, what we were about to do.
That woman.
She was cornered by us, by Kouichi, Raimei and I.
It would seem we were all about to attack her if Thobari hadn't gotten in the middle of us all.
I frowned, my eyes half-lidded, I turned my head to the side. I stared at the man with little to none interest.
It was difficult to believe I wanted to harm this woman. I wanted to...hurt this creepy and un-needed woman so badly.
"Miharu? Miharu?"
I lowered my eyes. I found a pair of hands firmly holding my arms. They shook as they tried to prevent me from attacking.
"…Riley…" I muttered out.
Her name just rolling off my tongue. I looked at the girl, she looked troubled. Her bottom lip was pulled back and her eye brawls was pulled together.
I suddenly felt guilty for upsetting her, for worry her.
"It seems as if I have no choice but to accept." Thobari said.
I ignored him. My eyes wouldn't move off the rosette.
Riley looked everywhere but me and it bothered me.
Did I shock her that much, was it that strange for her to see me act this way. I pouted at my own thoughts, I shook my head and turned away from the girl.
I looking out the window with bored eyes.
I may look bored but when in fact I'm anything but bored.
~#~#~#~
"In order to protect against terrorist attacks, the hosts of the conference will definitely set up set up troops to protect the V.I.P. We will be making preparations to infiltrate the venue. We suggest that you do the same with your own methods."
I just want this day to be done, so I can go home.
I felt worn down and tired.
I felt annoyed even.
Heck, if I could, I would shove this woman into her taxi and happily wave goodbye. I frowned and eyed Thobari, watching him talk.
I wish he'd hurry up. His voice is so, well, it makes me sleepy.
"Alrightie! If we're gonna play then we gotta play hard!"
I sighed to myself, I lifted gaze to Raimei. The girl looked exited only her golden eyes looked, scared.
"In order to get the Kinjitsu-sho, this is nothing! Men shouldn't be so indecisive!" she cried out loudly at Kouichi.
Why is her voice so loud? My head hurts from the loud buzzing she causing.
I huffed and looked off to the side. I stared at nothingness.
"Oh, an Shimizu-san, if you don't say what you feel, you'll get indigestion. Unlike me, ordinary people can't understand you unless you speak." The woman said.
She stepped into the car. Her dark eyes glowing as she smiles at the blonde girl.
Ordinary people can't understand you unless you speak? So Raimei really is scared.
"Raimei?" I finally spoke.
I leant forward to peer at the tall girl, peering at her face.
Raimei shook. Her shoulders trembled as we stepped up to her.
"Miharu~" she cried.
Raimei looked at me with large teary eyes.
"What? Not feeling well?" I questioned.
Riley giggled softly, her hands gently playing with her white blouse.
"Um…I think she misunderstood the meaning of Indigestion." she chuckled.
Kouichi nodded in agreement. I felt...confused...
"I know that we're already set our goals, and that everyone's working hard together for it…and I really want to help you Miharu. But yesterday after Saraba called me..that is…Um…I…" Raimei muttered.
She tapped her fingers together slyly. She took a deep breath before speaking, almost dramatically.
"Raikou has been found. Saraba said she's going to investigate further…but she said that someone in Kouga had heard that name before." she explained.
Ah. She wanted to go back to Fuuma and try to find this Raikou. Her brother.
I never understood why Raimei can't just come out and say what she wants, she always twists it.
"I really don't know what I should do…" she laughed nervously.
Raimei rubbed the back of her head lightly.
See.
She does know what she wants to do, but she doesn't want to say.
Thobari will say what she wants to hear.
"Go back to Fuuma." Thobari said.
See told you.
"I was the one who accepted this task. You don't have to do this with us." He added.
So cheesy, just like something out of Grandmother's dramas.
"I doubt it was easy to that clue. Rai-chan, I think you should definitely return to Fuuma. You might regret it for a lifetime if you don't go." Riley hummed thoughtfully, her hand on her chin.
Her head was tilted to the side with her eyes half-lidded, her long eyelashes making shadows across her cheeks.
Just at that moment, the sun catches her form, making her glow beautifully.
"Right Ero-chan?" she smiled brightly.
Riley looked at me directly in the eye.
I flushed a little and nodded in agreement. I hate that stupid nickname!
"Riley's right." I nod my head again in agreement. My tone flat as normally.
"Raimei I wish for you to return to Fuuma village. Besides. Your happiness is my happiness." Repeating one of the many lines I've heard from my Grandmother's programs is easy.
"Thank you Miharu! You're the best!" I
jumped in surprise and grunted. I was almost crushed to death by the girl. I grumbled under my breathe.
"Saying something so cheesy with a straight face…"
I rubbed the back of my neck, I pouted.
My body felt sore now. I just want to sleep. I eyed the girl once more.
I smiled a little. "Raimei, even if your worthless life is lost. I'll forgive you for leaving us." I almost grinned at the look that over came her face.
My tiny black wings twitches as I hummed to myself.
~#~#~
Another hot day.
The day of the National Youth Science Research Conference, we stood outside the building.
I leant against a pillar, sitting with my legs stretched out with an ice-pop that I suckled.
I decided to leave my school blazer back at home today, so I only wore the dark school pants with my white blouse, which was short sleeved.
Screw the tie, I decided to left that to Shiratama. The cat likes to play with it to much anyway.
Thobari sat on the other side with his back hunched over, his head was dipped slightly. He wore his suit without the black-jacket.
"It's hot Ero-chan." Riley whined.
She leant against my side with her head touching my left shoulder. She sat with her legs curled up to her side, her green blazer was tied around her waist. Her red locks had curled a little from the heat, despite the fact that it was so hot, she still looked beautiful.
Not that I'd tell her that of cause.
I hummed and patted her on the head with my other hand.
"There-There." I mumbled.
I whipping the sweat from my forehead. I leant back against the cool stone behind me.
Riley huffs to herself before lifting her slushy and drinking through the loopy-straw.
I glanced at Kouichi arguing with a bunch of nerds about entering the Conference.
"Noisy Four-Eyes." I muttered.
"Quiet Aizawa. I'm already exhausted just from walking all the way to Tokyo. It's hot and uncomfortable enough without your noise." Thobari sighed.
Thobari lifted up the cool-cola to his lips and taking a large gulp from the can.
Kouichi simply stood with a defeated expression on his face. I would have smirked if it wasn't hot.
"Oh." Riley yawned, rubbing her eyes softly. "You've a got winner."
"Hmmm."
I looked down at the stick of my once ice-pop. In large black letters it read 'Winner' which means next time I buy an ice-cream, I got two extras.
"Lucky. I never win." Riley said.
Guess I am lucky.
"You want it?" I asked with a shrug.
Riley blinked in surprise. I don't know why she was so surprised...it's not like I never do anything for her, or give her anything...I'm always getting her things...she's just...a little thick headed.
"I. What?" Riley said.
I rolled my head around to look at her. "I said, do you want it? You can have the prize. The two ice creams." I repeated.
"You sure?" Riley asked.
I nodded. "Yeah. I'm not a big fan of ice-cream anyway." I said.
I handed the stick to her. I couldn't help but smile at the cute way her face lit up. She pocked the stick, and hummed to herself.
I felt good.
Suddenly horns appeared on top my head and I swooped down. I drunk some of her slushy.
Strawberry.
"Hey! Ero-chan!" Riley whined.
She tried to shield her ice-drink from me with narrowed blue eyes.
I chuckled. "You said I could have some."
Riley pouted. Her cheeks darkened.
A car pulled up.
I frowned, and watched as a lanky guy stepped out of the expensive car.
It was the man the woman wants us to kill.
I bereaved in deeply. I ran my hand up the back of my neck, and watched as a boy tried to shake his hand only to have a freaky-dude with glasses pop up and glare the poor boy away.
"Nope. He's Flosetti's Japanese Assistant." a familiar voice wheezed out.
The voice scared Thobari. He leaped to his feet and backed away. He stared at the black haired woman.
She smiled at him in amusement.
"O-Oda-san…"
Oda chuckles lowly. Her eyes scan each and everyone of us.
"I've very glad that you could make it. I've briefly checked through the crowd, but I couldn't find anything about Kairoushuu." she whispered.
She leant towards Thobari with shifty eyes.
Thobari's eyebrow lifted. "You used your mind-reading technique?" he asked in surprise.
The long haired female looks at the man with a crooked frown.
"Yeah. My Izura Shingan only has a range of about 3 meters, so I'm not too certain, but they should be here somewhere." She said.
Her face quickly transforms into a right, warm smile.
"Ah, from here on. I'll be depending on you." she said.
Her back made soft creaks. "Shall we go then?"
Riley let out a soft groan, standing up and pushing her red locks off her shoulders.
"I actually wonder what these Conferences are like. Never been to one." she muttered.
She whipped her mouth after drinking the last of her slushy. I waited for her at the doorway, apparently that man with Oda had gotten us in.
I shrugged it off, I care for little to it.
"Okay. I'm ready." she smiled.
Riley rushed up to me after throwing the cup away. I nodded to her words before we both entered the large building.
At least it has air-conduction.
I ran my fingers through my hair. I listened to Riley as she let out excited words.
She's really excited about this. Riley looks pretty cute.
I lifted my head, and I froze on the stop.
Yoite.
He's here.
He never looked to be one to be interested in something like this. I tilted my head to the side.
I pouted when I found Riley staring up at him too.
The red-haired female had this look on her face, her eyes wide. It looked like she's deep in thought about something that's exciting her, she even glanced between Yoite and me.
Wait, she isn't doing what I think she is?
Since we share a room, me sleeping on the floor and her using my bed, we have strange conversations before going to sleep.
A couple of nights ago, we had a conversation about something called 'Yaoi'.
I found out at that moment, that she was that kind of girl.
A 'Yaoi-Fangirl'.
My lips twists oddly as I crossed my arms and pouted.
She is, isn't she.
"Riley." I grumbled, gaining her attention.
She jumped and laughed with a flushed cheeks.
"If you wonder off, you might get…." Thobari spoke, firmly gripping mine and Riley's shoulders. "What's wrong?"
I looked back at him and smiled brightly. My 'mockery' lack wings popped out.
"Oh nothing~ I was just thinking how to make Thobari-Sensei take the bullet train back~" I laughed.
I grabbed Riley's hand and dragged her along after me. We left the dark haired male behind.
I couldn't help but laugh a little more at his face.
Upon entering a large hall, I found a lot of people from our school, not that I cared of cause.
I stood to the side with half-lidded eyes, and my lips curls into a thin-line.
"So..many people…"
I tilted my head to look at the rose-haired female.
Riley stood with her back arched, her eyes wide as she looked around, her round cheeks flushed.
The sunlight glittered through the open windows, and catching her features and making her glow beautifully. She looked gorgeous, like an Angel, right out of a dream.
Pure beauty...
I shook my head to clear my head of such thoughts.
I refused to have a 'stand up' problem within a space filled with people.
Just the thought of the pure embarrassing moment fills my mind, cooling my heated body down.
"Are you scared?" I questioned, turning my face away from the girl, not wanting her to see my face.
I, for some reason, feel that if she looks, she'll know.
This isn't the first time this has happen.
"Er, a little…I guess." Riley mumbled, flushing even brighter and rubbing the back of her head.
Her blue eyes flicks to the side before her face melts into a 'O' face.
"Seems Fuuma's here." she said.
She pointed at an old man on the other side of the hall. His long familiar white beard reaches the floor, his old-batted hat covering his head.
Stupid Fuuma. He's everywhere. Him and his many faces!
"Ero-chan. Let's go before we get left behind!" she smiled brightly at me.
She swiftly grabbed my hand and dragged me down the long walk-way after Oda-san.
I hate that name! I really do. I had to duck my head and glare at a few people after she said that.
More then four girls looked at us with surprised expressions. We sit with our group.
Kouichi sat in front of us with Oda-san's partner while Riley sat next to Oda-san and I in-between Riley and Thobari-Sensei. The opening speech wasn't long, it wasn't interesting either thought.
The man's voice held little to none emotion and by the end of it, Thobari-Sensei had decided to move on. He held a book out and I peered at it.
It wasn't interesting either.
Just Kouichi's speech, we'll it would be interesting for most, but I aren't most people. He did have a some 'amusing' things he was planning to perform, I'll give him that much.
I shrugged and leant back in my chair briefly, watching with one eye closed and the other gazing at Riley as she read through Kouichi's speech, before standing and following the older black-haired man back into the pathway.
"Your report is very interesting and will definitely hold everyone's attention." Thobari-Sensei said proudly.
I almost snorted at his words while Riley let out a beautiful 'giggle' that was almost like bells to my ears.
Kouichi smiled brightly back at him, I shuddered at the almost evil and eerily glint appear within his orbs. Shaking my head, I followed the others out of the hall, relaxing as soon as the door closed behind Thobari-Sensei.
Oda-san flips her dark hair over her shoulder and pulls out a large paper.
"These are the blueprints my employees obtained from hacking into the database." I sighed to myself and pouts, my head ducked. This is mostly boring, I could be doing better things with my time then this.
Things like teasing Riley about our Okonomiyaki!
"There are 10 break rooms in total, located between 2F and B1. We don't know which one Flosetti is in, only that he probably has around 30 bodyguard's surrounding him. All entrances andd exits are guarded, and since even the vents are being watched it'll e hard for outsiders to sneak in unnoticed."
"That's my last choice. I don't wish to unnecessarily involved people from the surface world." Thobari-sensei sighed more to himself then the others around him. Oka-san's partner nods his head slightly. "Are you planning to act when he's at the car."
Oka-san leant forward, her dark locks framing her dark face.
A wide smirk appears across her face.
"Kumohira-sensei is really an honourable ninja. But since Flosetti rarely goes out, this will be you one-in-a-thousand chance." she said.
A chill suddenly goes down my spin. I snaps my head up and peered at Thobari-Sensei's face.
"I know." he grumbled out darkly. His eyes glowing almost blood-thirsty.
I suddenly felt nervous. Huh. I shook my head, I tugged lightly on his sleeve.
"Miharu." he began.
His eyes swiftly softens and he suddenly pets me on the head before doing the same with Riley.
"Miharu, just in care Flosetti tries to escape, taking Riley and go with Katou-kun. Guard the parking lot where is car is in."
My eyes widen when I noticed a fast approaching guard.
"B-But Sensei!" Riley squealed.
She jumped when the man suddenly spun around and hitting the guard on the back of the neck. She sent the poor man to ground out cold.
"The essence of assassination is speed."
Right…I couldn't help but nod to his words. The essence of assassination is speed. I'll remember that for future.
"Miharu…" jumping almost out of my skin.
I snapped my head around to look at Riley who smiled nervously at me.
"We-We should go." she gulps awkwardly and shifts her weight from one foot to the other.
She's scared. Letting out a soft hum, I gripped her hand and nod my head. We looked at Thobari-Sensei one last time before we ran after the shrimpy-man, down to the car-park.
I glanced over my shoulder, eyeing Sensei before turning my head to the front.
Why do I have a sinking-feeling in the pit of my stomach? Sighing, I shook my head and entered the car-park.
"I can't wait until I can drive." Riley mumbled in awe.
Her head turning as she looked at the many cars. I tilted my head to the side, I smirked.
"I doubt they'd even let you try." I smirked even wider.
She pouted and whines about how I'm such a 'horrible person'.
"We're currently here. Flosetti's car is over there." Oka-san spoke, pointing at a old black car across from us.
"Katou-kun over there is in charge of handling the bodyguards. If the target gets away from Kumohira-Sensei the parking lost will be our last chance to kill him. Rokujou-kin, will you alright if leave it to you?"
Riley frowned.
She turns her head to look at me, placing her hand gently onto my shoulder.
"Miharu-kun? You're alright. Yes?" she questioned cutely.
Riley tilted her head to the side with her large blue eyes glowing with worry.
Before I could even answer her, Oka-san's voice cut through the air like a knife.
"You didn't have enough time to tell Kumohira-Sensei that Yoite is here?"
I groaned under my breath. I frowned and rolled my eyes before shutting them.
"Please don't look into my thoughts…or Riley's." I quickly added, stretching my arms, un-interesting.
I turned my head to see Riley had wondered off to look at cars.
How can she be interested in something like that, at a time like this?
I shook my head, I lowered myself onto one of the stoppers around the hall and curled my arms tightly around my legs, head resting against my knees.
"It's like, breeching my privacy."
"Sorry." Oka-san smiled, sitting down next to me and leaning back.
"It's just that you always try to solve everything alone. What others like, what others dislike…it's as if you're keeping yourself at distance from others is your way of life." she hummed, I couldn't help but snort at her words.
I muttered out a 'It's my freedom' while laying my head against my knees, my eyes closing to try and block out her voice.
"Not again! Lying isn't good!" she snapped loudly.
I thought my ears would drop off. I refuse to give her satisfaction and kept my eyes closed. Bluntly ignoring her.
"Don't forget that I understand the depth of your heart better than you! Don't you want to take this chance to know yourself better. To lead a brighter life? Maybe to lead one with a certain somebody!"
I growled lightly under my breath, I snapped my eyes open and looked directly at Riley.
She had moved onto a right white car and was now peering through the glass with wide eyes. She's right, Oka-san is always right. Damn and I only have known her for a little while. Of cause I'd like to lead a brighter life with Riley. Yawning tiredly, I turned my head to the side.
"You talk a lot, Oba-san." A lot like a Obaasan. Going on about love and such, so damn annoying.
"I can hear you!"
"So sorry, I didn't think that you'd know what I was thinking!" I smiled rightly at her.
My little black devil-wings batting as I grinned innocently. My eyes sparkled, I know that expression. She probably thinking 'that devil'. I couldn't help but humming and smile as cutely as I could.
Oka-san sighed to herself, her hand rubbing her forehead as she groan tiredly. "Ah..someone with your sort of unique heart is especially bad to someone with a heart like mine."
"…Have I really changed that much…because of her…?" I wondered out loud.
I turned my eyes and looked directly upon the rosette lightly tapping the cars window with thoughtfully eyes. She muttered softly under her breath about the make of car.
Before Riley had turned up, I truly had been indifferent, nothing got to me, nothing could break through my walls but it all changed when she turned up.
"Well. I wouldn't exactly call you normal." she spoke, her own tone hitching into an almost emotionless tone.
"Most…people have some sort of calculation within themselves, some sort of…hidden sin to further their own goals…" her voice trails off, her dark eyes narrows almost angrily ahead of herself.
Almost as if she was angry at the wall in front of her, perhaps she was blaming the wall for something.
I watched as swiftly her shoulders hunched up and her eyes spilled open, almost as if they'd pop right out of her sockets.
It was strange, she wa such a pride and high above woman and all of sudden, she changed. Looks like we're not the only ones hiding secrets.
A sharp gasp spills through her lips, her eyes blinks and looks around as if she had just awoken from something. Her breath was labour, sweat dripped down her forehead.
"I…I…let's end our conversation…here…" Oka-san panted softly.
I yelped in surprise when she suddenly grabbed my shoulders, not to tightly to hurt me, but just enough to surprise me.
"Alright-Alright! Stand up and get ready!" she smiled brightly, swiftly transforming back into that prideful woman. "Togakushi's specialty is in information gathering, not assassination, but just leave this place to me. Since that person's existence is harmful to sensei, you should go tell him."
She smirked almost sinter at me.
I felt a cold chill go down my spin, never the less, I mutely nodded and turned around to get into potion, glancing briefly at Oka-San's shrimpy assistant.
For a small man, he was able to knock out the two guards.
Maybe Oka-san isn't as bad as I thought…
"Ah, Please tell Kumohira-Sensei something for me. If this mission fails, I will definitely reveal all of your hidden secrets." her voice purred out. I snorted and rolled my eyes. Okay. So maybe she really is a bitch after all.
"Haru-chan?"
Ah. That's new. Riley sure loves to make up such ridiculous names, even if they are nicknames.
Haru-chan.
Well. It's better then Pervert.
I made a soft snort. I rubbed the back of my head, my eyes closed briefly before looking at the confused rose-haired.
"Let's go Riley!" I smiled brightly at her.
My little black bat wings flapping as I smiled as innocently as I could at her. Without giving her a chance to speak, I quite roughly grabbed her surprisingly petit wrist. It really is thin.
I'll admit, I might have given her a harsh tug to get the lazy girl moving as she let out a loud yelp before stumbling after me.
I'm more then amazed she hasn't tripped over her own feet yet.
"Miharu!…Where are we going?" she squealed rather loudly.
I frown a little, why'd she pause? I shrugged to myself, I kept my head forward and refused to look back at her, teasing her more.
I heard her huff to herself.
"Fine then! Don't talk to me!" she grumbled.
I couldn't help but smirk to myself.
"Riley. Smile." I laughed, childishly.
I smirked back at her over my shoulder.
Riley snorted and turned her head. I almost, myself, gasped when she tugged harder on my own arm, pointing off to the side.
I blinked a little upon seeing two familiar males. Breathing deeply, I looked at her and lowered my head slightly.
"Stay calm." I muttered softly, gently rubbing my thump against her skin as the two males began to approach us.
I closed my eyes as Riley inhaled a deep breath as Yoite and that tall blonde man stopped in front of us, the name-less male had this creepy grin on his face.
Maybe he's on crack or something.
The grin grow wider, his skin almost looked like it'd creak open.
"Aren't we lucky, Yoite?" he snickered, reaching out and suddenly grabbing my shoulder roughly.
I stared up at him for a few seconds, before looking at Riley, she looked like it was Christmas!
Why is she such a weird girl? I rolled my eyes, I released her hand and allowed myself to be tugged to the side with a sudden gun held to my head.
I almost snorted, how ironic.
Riley gripped her hands tightly together, her blue eyes stared after the two. She let out a troubled sigh, her head ducking.
This is getting so troublesome.
Yoite, himself let out a soft troubled sigh. He went to place a light hand onto the shorter girl, but instead preferred to place alone finger onto her white-covered shoulder. His gloved finger-tip hardly touching the surface.
Riley snapped her head around, her eyes widen at the taller boy, at first the male thought she was afraid of him until she smiled brightly at him.
"Yoite!" she called out happily.
Yoite decided at that moment, that this red-haired girl was weird.
Not that I could really blame him...
"You want me to stand like this, right? Because you don't like to be touched. That's fine! Thought, I have to say, is it hard to live like that? It's alright to be lonely. I've been lonely at times too~" she spoke excitedly.
Riley quickly stepping forward so she wasn't so close to Yoite.
Said male could only stare at the girl, how did she know so much about him and yet they've only met twice.
"You're so weird Riley..." I said.
Riley frowned. "That's so mean, Haru-chan!"
So. What do you think? Was it good? Did yah like it XD
