13: Kind To Me

YUNA

"But would a Hearts game appear so conveniently? On top of that, we won't know what type of game it is until registration closes." Ann said. "But we should be able to deduce it based on the probability theory." Kuzuryu said. "I don't need such a pretentious investigation method. I'll join the next game. Be it Heart or Spades. Someone like me with a 100 percent winning rate will clear it easily! I'll join the games until the Ten of Hearts appears! The day where we gather all cards and depart from this country is near! Executive members, I'm counting on you guys to oversee things here. The meeting is closed!" Father said. We all stood up. I was on my way to my father, but Chishiya grabbed my wrist. "I'm waiting for you outside." He said. I nodded and he let go of my wrist without breaking eye contact. I looked at him for a little longer, but turned to my father. "Father, am I allowed to share rooms with people?" I asked. "If you want to." He said. "Okay, thanks." I said. I turned back to Chishiya and walked around the building with him. "Are we going back to Sakura and Kuina?" I asked. "Wait a second. I feel like talking to you right now." He said with a small smile. We sat down on a random bench. "Are you friends with Arisu and that girl?" Chishiya asked. "I don't know, but we got along. But I think they aren't happy with me. I think they feel betrayed." I said, staring right in front of me. "Why?" He asked. "Because they think I was here the whole time. They think I knew about the games and what would happen." I said. "But you didn't." He said. "I haven't talked to them about it, so I guess they wouldn't know." I said. "Why do you care? You guys weren't friends, so why care? You only had to care about Sakura at that moment, and you did. So what's the problem?" Chishiya asked. "I just feel bad for being a traitor." I said. "You aren't. For what I've seen and heard from you, you aren't. You're kind." He said with a smile. "Thank you." I said. My cheeks were burning red. "Aw, you're blushing." He said. I laughed. "Okay, shut up now, Chishiya." I said, still laughing a little. We had a whole conversation. When I first met Chishiya, he seemed like a very cold and heartless person, but he isn't. He's kind. Kind to me. "Why'd you ask your father if you could share rooms?" He suddenly asked. "So I can have fun here. I wanna share a room with Sakura or Kuina." I said. "Oh, okay. Sounds fun." He said. "Are you jealous because I didn't say you?" I asked pushing his shoulder. He started laughing when I pushed. "So you really expected me to share a room with a boy I've known for less than a week?" I asked with a laugh. "Yes, because we're friends!" He said. Yes, friends. "I'll see, I'll see." I said. "Okay, we should really get back to Sakura and Kuina. It's been an hour." He said. We got up from the bench and walked next to eachother. While walking, my hand brushed slightly against his. I felt it, but stayed as calm as I could. He may be cool and smart, but in the corner of my eye, I could see his ears get red. We got in the yard and saw Sakura and Kuina running over to us. "Jesus Christ, why did that take so long?" Kuina asked. "You guys have been away for a hour and a half. What did you do?" Sakura asked. "The meeting was a little longer." I said. "We all know that's bullshit because we saw Niragi walk an hour ago so what did you do?" Kuina asked. "Okay fine, we just talked." Chishiya said. "That's all you did?" Sakura asked. "Yes, that's all." I said. "Hmm... Okay." Kuina said. "Jesus Kuina. I've been with a by for an hour and you think we fucked? I'm not a whore!" I said with a laugh. "Are you sure about that?" Sakura asked. "Oh shut it." I said. I could hear Chishiya laughing. "But girls, I wanted to ask if you guys wanted to share a room?" I asked them. "Is that even allowed?" Kuina asked as she took her fake cigarette out of her mouth. "I asked my father and he practically said yes." I said. "Be more specific. What do you mean by practically?" Sakura asked. "He said I can if I want to." I said. "Well I would love to." Kuina said. "Same." Sakura said. "I feel extremely left out." Chishiya said. We all looked at him and thought he was serious, but he wasn't able to hold his laugh. We all bursted out of laughing. I didn't think Chishiya would be such a nice person. "Can we sit down somewhere? My legs are sore." Sakura said in such a dramatic voice. "Sore from what?" Kuina asked with a confused look. "From standing here, having this convo. Let's sit." Sakura said. We didn't even got to say something and she already walked away, looking for a place to sit. She sat down on some beach chair. Chishiya sat next to her. Kuina and I sat down on the chair in front of them. Sakura looked around her a bit. She noticed Niragi, but his back was turned to her. "That thing looks handsome and I want it." She said. "Sakura, are you drunk?" I asked. She didn't answer, but stood up and walked over to Niragi. I followed her. "Hey girl." She said. Niragi turned around with a confused look. I laughed at her. "Again?" I asked while still laughing. "Boy you meant, but yes?" Niragi said. I walked away, still laughing. "What happened?" Chishiya asked. "Sakura approached Niragi, thinking he was a girl." I said, still laughing, as I sat down next to Kuina again. "What'd he say?" Kuina asked. "He just told her he was a boy, I kind of expected him to make a scene, but he didn't." I said. "I was expecting him to shoot her with the big gun he's always carrying around." Chishiya said. "Well that was deep." Kuina said. We sat there for hours, talking about nonsense. But then I noticed something. 

"Where the hell is Sakura?"
