Our Bond -KazuScara-

Chapter 8 - Busted

"Where's who?"

That's definitely Scaramouches voice. I'm busted, currently over thinking everything that I've done up to this moment. What should or do I say to him? Why did I come to talk to him anyway? All of these questions are rolling around in my head.

"Hey!" He grips my arm harder.
"Where's who?" His voice is gradually getting harsher.

"Nobody, sorry for wasting your time." I reply shaking, which he obviously noticed.

"Just tell me who your looking for," his voice is now softer, you can tell he's trying to be gentle.

"I was.." My lips start to quiver as I tightly close my eyes, this needs a lot of courage, which is something I don't have. "I was looking for you." The words spilled out, everything stopped, I was scared. Me, Kaedehara Kazuha was scared to talk to someone. It shouldn't be this hard, they are just words, I don't understand why I'm acting this way?

"So, why did you need me?" His hand shifts from my arm to my head.

"Well, I had a talk with Gorou," I take a deep breath to make sure everything gets out. "And I told him you weren't talking to me, so he told me to talk to you instead." Everything came out perfectly. No stutters, no weird faces, nothing.

"I haven't been talking to you?" What's with his group and being oblivious to obvious things?

"No, you haven't. And I wanted to get closer to you. But because you wouldn't talk to me, I couldn't." All of my fear drifted away, to an unknown place. I couldn't feel it anymore, I was prepared to say anything and everything.

"Oh," was his answer, not that I care.

"So... I was wondering if we could be friends," this sounds so childish.

"I mean, sure." His ice cold face melts when he shows a slight smile. Anyone not paying enough attention would miss it.

"I'm sure we both have to go, I'll see you tomorrow, perhaps!" I run off to tell my friends about what transpired, but of course I wave. That's bad manners.

"Woah!" "Idiot." "really?" Were their reactions. All of us having different personalities is a bit complicated.

"What's next, he hands you a bouquet of flowers and asks you to dinner?" Kokomi teases.

"I hope not," I said. "That's embarrassing,"

"It is, and so is being friends with him." She talks back. "You already have us!"

"I know I do, but it's always good to try something new, isn't it?"

"Trying new stuff can lead to danger, I just want to protect you." She frowns.

"I'll be careful," I reassure her.

"You better be. Cause if he hurts you in any way, shape, or form, I'll grab my bat."

"I promise." We all laugh, I never want this to end.
