Cold Heat

25

I've never been one to be easily surprised, nor was I ever considered "stupid", but when I had agreed to meet up with Homra at the beach I was just that. "No," I dead panned looking at the blond with straight hair. He had a large smile on his lips , he was thin, and only standing in swim trunks. "That's not Rikio," I insisted as I looked back at Yata. "Yatagarasu, I saw Rikio three days ago, this can't be him!"

"It is." two voices called in unison. I glanced over my shoulder only to freeze. Bandō and Shōhei were looking dark and ominous. "We can't believe the girls like him."

My attention moved back to Kanamoto who was now surrounded by four girls. "Do you find Rikio attractive, Misaki?" smiled Tatara as he swung an arm around my shoulders.

"Of course not, Rikio isn't my type no matte his appearance." I sighed out glancing up at Tatara, who only smiled and blinked obliviously.

He sighed and gave a shrug. "I guess. Guys like Yata always seemed to attract you."

"Wha-"

I was quickly interrupted by a group of girls near by. "Wow, look at that guy. He's kind of cool."

"What should we do? Should we go talk to him?" my attention moved to across the sandy beach to see who they were looking at. In the water was Yata surfing with the biggest smile on his face.

How exactly did he get in the water so fast? Out of the corner of my eye I see the group move forward. I quickly look to Tatara, and give him , "Maybe" I reply before making my way to Yata as he came to shore, "Yata!" I shouted jumping into him.

He quickly dropped his board and wrapped his arms around me as I clung to him with arms around his neck. "Misaki," he laughed looking at me with a pale pink tint coating his cheeks, "What's up?"

I hummed to myself for a second before I glanced back to see the group of girls. "Man, he has a girlfriend." voiced one.

"Who cares? We're cuter than she is." said another taking a step forward. I glared at her, but that didn't do too much.

Annoyed, I glanced back at Yata as I took a step back so the girls could get a cleat view of him. "Is this suppose to hurt?" I asked pushing my hair back.

Yata turned me slightly and looked at the Homra insignia behind my right ear. "No, does it?" he asked running his fingers over it lightly.

"Not really, I was just wondering." I said glancing back once again to see the girls walking away in a hurry. Yata looked at me with a questioning expression before throwing me into the water. "Yata!" I laughed as he began to splash water at me.

"You're acting weird, I'm trying to wash that away!" he smirked as he continued to hit me with the cold water.
