Life after death...a Shiki fanfic

3. It's not what you think!

Standing at the entrance was a boy around my age with dark purple sort of wavy hair. His eyes landed on us and the situation we were in. Abruptly, I pushed myself away from him causing the older male to fall on his back. My face burned into an even darker shade of red as I turned to the TV, hugging my knees and resting my head on them. I was so embarrassed it was the only thing I could think of doing. The blonde boy sat back up, his right hand rubbing the back of his neck as he nervously chuckled at the newcomer.
"Oh hey Natsuno, what brings you here?" He inquired.
"I see I was disturbing something," the one named Natsuno replied monotonously.
"It's not what you think," muttered a small voice.
Both boys turned their head towards my direction.
"It's not what you think,"I repeated.
Soon, I was no longer burning with embarrassment but with anger. Grabbing the nearest object beside me, I threw it at Tooru.
"Baka! Baka! Tooru Baka!"I kept yelling over and over again as I continued to hit him repeatedly with his pillow that I grabbed from his bed.
The newcomer just sat on Tooru's bed watching Tooru as he was attacked by me with a pillow. I stopped when laughter erupted from the blonde teen. His actions made me clench my fists. The next thing he knew, was that he was on his knees. Both his arms were pulled backwards and my foot was on his back.
"Beg for forgiveness," I said with a menacing tone.
Natsuno who was watching wasn't sure whether we were still playing around or if things just got serious. Tooru on the other hand laughed even more but he tried to stifle his laughter when I began to tug his arms, or rather pulled them, quite roughly.
"Okay, okay. I beg for forgiveness," Tooru said in between his giggling.
Reluctantly, I released him from my grip before sitting infront of him.
"I guess I was wrong," he said while rubbing his hands and shoulders.
"What do you mean by that?" I questioned him.
"You really haven't changed at all. Who knew you still pull that move off and you've gotten stronger than before," he smiled at me.
"What exactly is going on here,"
We both turned our heads towards Natsuno's voice.
"That reminds me. Natsuno, this is Arisu-chan. She's a childhood friend of mine and she just arrived here. Apparently, she'll be living here for a while. Arisu-chan, this is Natsuno-kun. He's my best friend and like you, he came here not long ago ," Tooru said as he introduced me to his 'best friend'.
"Tooru, is everything okay?" A feminine older voice called from the other side of the door.
"Yeah, everything's okay," Tooru called back.
"Arisu-chan, do you need anything?"
"No thank you, Mutou-san," I replied sweetly.
"How about you Natsuno?"
"I'm fine," he answered.

Timeskip........
"Thanks for walking me home," I quietly said to the two boys.
"I see you've gone back to your 'new' self," Tooru assumed.
"I see you still haven't learnt your lesson," I threatened him.
"You're so bipolar,"muttered Natsuno.
"More like multipolar," Tooru corrected him.
"Wait where's Arisu-chan?" He wondered after noticing that I wasn't beside him anymore.
They looked at where I was standing a while ago but the sound of a closing door grabbed their attention.
Tooru chuckled nervously when they both realised I had left without saying goodbye.

Timeskip........
"So what do you think of her?" Tooru asked.
"I don't know," Natsuno replied boredly.
"She's not bad. It's just that she's been through a lot ever since she left Sotoba," Tooru assured his friend.
"So what was she like before?"
"She was very tomboyish but she can be very violent. But now she's different, except she's still violent. Arisu-chan used to be so happy back then. Always smiling and laughing," the blonde teen said nostalgically.
"I've noticed that she's different around people," Natsuno mentioned as he recalled how she acted around other people.

Meanwhile.........
"Achoo!"
"Make sure you close that window or you'll get a cold, Arisu,"
"Yes grandma,"
As I reached to close my blinds, a rustling outside caught my attention. Cautiously, I leaned out the window to see what was making the noise. A silhouette was seen standing in the bushes. A pair of red orbs stared back at me. I decided to ignore it and closed the blinds and the window. It was probably....something. Better safe than sorry.
As I drifted off to sleep, a tapping was heard from my window. Lazily, I ignored it, not wanting to get out of bed but the tapping didn't stop.
I got up and walked to the window. Once the blinds were opened, my dark brown eyes met with crimson red ones.
