Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East [FanFic]

Chapter 9: Decision

You woke up to the sound of growling and a blanket on your body.

You checked the clock and saw that its 10:00 am.

"Who was growling?" You thought as you scratched your head.

You quickly jumped of the bed and went out of your room. You checked the hallway if someone was there but there was no one or nothing in there.

You left your room and searched for the thing that was growling.

You went to the room where you and the others hung out during free time. There, you saw Yatsufusa fast asleep while growling.

"Hey." You whispered and he opened one eye.

"You alright? Looks like Satomi and the others are not here, huh?" You asked even if you know that he wouldn't answer anyway.

"Hm. I'll be in my room then." You said and decided to go back to your room but you felt Yatsufusa following you. You just let him and continued walking to your room.

"Here. Sleep here while Satomi's not around yet." You said and he obeyed. You watched Yatsufusa slowly closing his eyes and finally fell asleep.

"Every time I look at you, I always remember Satomi in you. I think I fell in love at the wrong time, huh?" You thought as you stared at Yatsufusa and suddenly fell asleep again.

Kobungo's POV

After we ate breakfast, [Your Name] went up to her room. Then, Satomi suggested that we all go to the Church. We all agreed but before we go there, we checked on [Your Name].

"She fell asleep. Such a lazy girl." Satomi said but we were shocked by what he did.

"He pulled up [Your Name]'s blanket and put it until her shoulders." That's what we all thought.

"Let's go. She'll be alright here with Yatsufusa." He said and after that, we left.

While we were walking to the Church, I couldn't stop thinking about [Your Name]. Her childish behavior and her fierce look makes me go nuts.

"Kobungo." I heard Genpachi called. I looked at him.

"Are you alright?" He asked and I nodded.

"You're silent today." Dousetsu said and Daikaku stared at me.

We stopped walking and so did Satomi.

"We were all silent." Sosuke said. We looked at each other and had only one thing in mind.

[Your Name].

3rd Person's POV

"These guys have their eyes on [Your Name] too. Maybe that's why I fell silent. These guys are my friends but when it comes to her, I feel like they're gonna take her away from me." That was what Azakeno thought.

"I can't let this guys have [Your Name]. Even if they're my friends, I need to have her." Shino thought.

"Look. Guys, we all know we like her but we need to respect her decision." Sosuke said.

"How would you know that she'll have a decision already?" Azakeno asked.

"Well, she did say she like us. So there's no chance we'll know who she really likes." Shinobu said and all of them nodded.

"Well, you boys need to keep up your hopes." Hamaji said while holding Kaname's hand.

"Why?" They asked in unison.

"[Your Name]-chan might like another guy. Who knows? Maybe its not anyone of you." She said and kept walking with Kaname.

They looked at each other and after that, they continued walking.

Meanwhile, at the Mansion. You woke up due to the rumbling of your stomach. It was time for lunch and yet, Satomi and the others are not yet home.

You looked at Yatsufusa who was still fast asleep. You smiled and then walked to the kitchen.

"Hmm. Better cook off a light meal." You said as you looked at the fridge for something to cook.

"What do you plan to cook, demon?" An irritating voice made you cringe.

"Shut up, Ao. Why don't you go back to where you came from?" You said as you see the ingredients on the table.

"Fine. If that's what you want then." He said and then left.

After that, you sighed in relief that he's gone.

"My decision's not clear yet but... I think I know now what to do." You thought as you smirked to yourself.
