Is It Dangerous or Just Stupid?

Chapter 6

Emi changes her clothes and immediately starts work. ~I had five minutes to spare.... Any slower and I would've been late. Phew that was a close one!~ While Emi was celebrating in her head, Otae had walked up to her. "Emiko-Chan? Emiko-Chan?" "Huh? Oh! Tae-Chan! What's wrong?" "What happened to your face?" "What? Damn I thought I covered it all up." Otae touches the bruise and shakes her head, "Is your boyfriend hitting you?" ~Wellll he's not my boyfriend. What would you call him, my child? My pet? I think pet works.~ "Oh no not at all! I don't have a boyfriend.. I just got into a fight with the wrong person." "Haaa, you'd think the Gorilla would stop you from fighting all the time." "Well Hijikata tries by scolding me all the damn time." "Well don't move, I'll fix your makeup so the bruise and bandage are covered up." Emi smiles, "Thank you, Tae-Chan." "No problem!" Emi chuckles a little. "What's so funny?" "I was just thinking about how you and Shinpachi are so alike in different ways." "You've met Shin-Chan? That's wonderful!" "Yep, I've met him and his cohorts." Otae lets out a giggle, "Hehe, you've met all the Odd Jobs then. How did you meet them?" "I hired them for a job." "They are very handy, aren't they?" "Yes they are! And I guess sorta cheap." The two girls laugh until a loud voice booms through the Cabaret Club, "Otae-Chan!!!!" "Great the Gorilla is here.." "Isao-Chan! Crap, I can't let him see me here!! He'll get mad at me!" Emi quickly rushes to the back of the club and sits at one of the tables, "If I get any customers send them back here!!" Kondo runs up to Otae and smiles, "Otae-Chan! Please marry me!" Otae sarcastically smiles and punches Kondo in the gut, immediately knocking him out. Emi watches him get rejected again. "Poor Isao-Chan...." The rest of the night goes off without a hitch. Kondo never sees Emi and Emi doesn't blow her cover. Finally it was time for her to go home and sleep.

She opens her front door and walks into her dark home. Flipping on the light, she lets out a big yawn. "Too tired to function right now." Emi kicks her boots off and trudges over to her bed, but she trips over something and falls face first onto her futon. She rolls over and drags the rest of her body onto the futon, "What did I trip on?" She turns her body around and is greeted by Kamui's sleeping face, "Oh it's Kamui.. He's really does have a pretty face.. I like his eyes the most though." Emi pokes his cheek and giggles, "Good Night, Kamui."
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
The moment she closes her eyes and falls asleep, he opens his eyes, "Who the hell poked me?" Kamui looks at Emi, his eyes follow her arm which leads to the hand that is right in front of his face. "Oh so it was you who poked me. If you're awake then you should make me those rice balls again, they were really good." Kamui gets no answer, he pouts his lips and pushes her arm back towards her. "Annoying, don't wake me up if you don't want to do anything fun." "Mmm but Mother I did it for Father...." Emi rolls over and faces the wall, "....stupid stupid Mother...." Kamui grows annoyed and pulls a strand of her hair. She quickly sits up and looks at Kamui, "What the hell was that for?!" He turns his back to her, "You were talking to yourself in your sleep. It was getting annoying so I woke you up." "Talking in my sleep? What did I say?" "I don't know, something about your Mom and Dad." Her face goes white, "I did? Uhm I'm sorry!!" She stands up and goes to the kitchen. She gets a cup of water and sits at the table. Emi sips the water and sighs, "That's so awful... Why do they haunt my dreams..." Kamui sits up and crosses his legs, "How is it awful? They're your parents, right?" "I will never acknowledge those people as my parents. Such awful people... They'll take any chance to get money even if it's dangerous.. They don't care about anyone but themselves." Kamui rolls his eyes, "You have family, you should enjoy it while you can." "You have family too, idiot. You and Kagura look so alike but she's a bit cuter than you." "That crybaby looks nothing like me. How do you even know her?" "Who do you think was over earlier. Her and the rest of Odd Jobs." "The white haired one was here! Why'd you make me leave! He's supposed to be my prey!" "That's exactly a reason why I'm glad I made you leave!" Emi rests her head on the table and sighs, "Too upset to sleep now..." "Then let's go do something fun!" Kamui stands up and stretches his legs. "If you're talking about your illicit activities then no thank you." "We don't have to commit any crimes to have fun." ~You living in this house is a crime.~ Kamui grabs her by the arm and pulls her up, "Put on a swimsuit! I know exactly where we can go." "A swimsuit? But I haven't worn one in forever... I'm not beach body ready!" "Who cares about that? Just put the swimsuit on and lets get out of here." Emi drags her feet as she grabs the swimsuit out of the closet. Kamui pushes her into the bathroom. "No need to be so rough! I'll change!" She puts on the swimsuit and stares at her reflection. ~Dammmnn, I actually look pretty good. It's weird how I don't feel embarrassed at all about this. Oh well!~ Leaving the bathroom, she slips on some sandals. "Alright let's go! Actually where are we going?" "The beach!" "The beach?! At two in the morning!" "It's your fault for getting home so late." "I told you I was going to be home late!" Kamui opens the front door and beckons her out. She smiles and goes outside. They walk to the beach together in total silence.
