Chibi-Hotaru
I twirl the ring hanging on a chain around my neck nervously. I haven’t seen him since I was 15 does he still have feelings for me…because I’m not sure if I have mine for him. Or do I? Will they return when I see him? I stand beside Hinito waiting for his arrival.
“He’s here.” Hinito says calmly.
I hold my breath. Daisuke Saiki walks in. My face does not move and neither does my body. He takes a quick glance at me and looks away. Hinito can feel the tension and tells us our mission.
“Find Kamui.” She tells us.
“What about the rest of the Seven Seals?” I ask.
She smiles softly and closes her eyes.
“They will find you…” then she whispers in my head, “HE will find you.”
Who is HE? I wonder for a split second before she sends me and Daisuke on our mission.
We wait on a rooftop for a while. We haven’t spoken a word or even looked at each other since the time we left. He turns to me which startles me slightly. I look at him and study his face. He’s changed. His face is longer and his eyes have become deeper…wiser maybe?
“You still have it.” He says.
“Yes.” Is all I can manage to spit out.
“A ring is meant to be on your finger.” He says bluntly.
I flinch.
“Only if the beholder wishes it to be.” I say coldly back.
Daisuke fought with Kamui and is badly injured. I take him to his bed and bandage his wounds. I take off his shirt to wrap a bandage around his shoulder. My face grows hot when I do this. I try not look at his face but, he keeps on staring at me. He takes my hand and entwines his fingers with mine. I gasp. His other hand strokes my cheek gently. I’m frozen in a state of confusion.
Before I can even register what he’s doing he gently presses his lips to mine. I can’t help but give in and kiss back. He holds me in his arms for a while. Does this feel right?
Sorata Arisugawa. He’s so weird. Why did he say “I’m the one.”? What does he mean? He’s so open with his emotions…Everytime I’m around him I get this forgien feeling that I can’t describe. But there is something I admire about him. He can read people very easily.
Sorata had just “treated” Kamui and I to dinner and walked me home. I insisted that I could walk myself but he didn’t take the hint. We stood at my doorway.
“Thank you for the meal tonight.”
“Don’t mention it. Anything for a pretty lady.” He said with a wink.
“I open the door to rush inside but, he takes the back of my arm and turns me to face him.
“I really think you’re beautiful ya know.” Sorata says in a soft serious tone.
I turn away quickly and rush inside. Daisuke was watching from the living room…
