The Anime Castle

Vol. 7

When we got home I put all the groceries where they belonged. The movie that Takumi and I had chosen was Despicable Me 2. Despite our age, Takumi and I both loved funny kids movie. Even though he never laughed I knew he enjoyed them. And as for the cerial Takumi let me choose my favorite. It was 5:00 so maybe we could still spend a little time at the Fifth Kind Place. Takumi got his heart key from his room and ofcourse I never took off mine. When I put my hand on the door knob the door swung open. Takumi and I jumped back as my mom entered. I let out a sigh because that had scared me

~~Fun Fact Author's Note~~

Ya know that actually happened to me yesterday and I almost fell back on to my couch. Cat/Ninja like Reflexes FOOLS.

~~Now back to the story~~

"Where are you two going?" My mom asked. I looked at my mom like she had just told me that she had just found out what Youtube was. (I mean come after all this time she finally asks) I answered as if none of these things were going on my head. "We're going out to the forest"

"Really? I mean you guys go there everyday!" My mom marveled,"I mean what could possibly be so...awesome that you guys have to go every day?." I had run out of answers (puny right.) So Takumi saved me!! "Hiking is good exercise." He said. My mom seemed to think about it then said,"Alright but I dont want you coming back as late!" She clearly meant it so I nodded while Takumi just passed her on to the outside. When we go to the back of the forest Takumi and I nodded to each other, the anime behavior rubbing off on us.

I pulled open the doors. Once inside, the first person I searched for was Sid. I didnt see him which was odd because he always got here before us. The furniture was now violet and pink. "Well" I muttered. Pink wasnt my favorite in fact purple was. We looked around for Sid but we couldnt find him. Finally my brother said, "Hey well Im checking out that buffet up stairs. Dont expect me back soon" He grinned because he loved to eat. I nodded with a smile on my face. I loved to see him happy. So I sat on the couch and relaxed. I watched the anime people sit and chat. Maybe I should meet someone new? I got up and walked to the nearest couch.

A boy sat there playing a PS3. As I walked around the couch I realized it was Ike. looked up at me and smiled,"Oh hey." Quite frankly I was surprised to see him here. "Nakamura!" I laughed. His last name was so long that I did have a difficult time remembering it. He stood and gave me a hug. "So where is your brother?" He asked. "Oh at the buffet" I answered. "Oh? I have yet to check it out myself. Wanna go eat, cutie?" He offered.

I blushed and said yes. "Alright. So where's that boyfriend of yours?" He smirked. I blushed even redder. "Oh no hes not my boyfriend.." I trailed off with my heart pounding fast. "Oh" Ike mumbled in front of the stairs," So its okay if I do this," He stepped closer and kissed me smoothly. His lips were soft and they had no trouble navigating on mine. Slowly he parted my lips. Despite my surprise I cooperated. His hands went to my waist and my arms went to his neck. Finally when we could no longer breathe, we pulled apart. I looked up at him and his evil-ish smirk. I dropped my head in laughter to his chest. He chuckled along . With one last glance we walked up the stair to the buffet.

We found Takumi at one of the tables sitting by himself eating quietly. A girl walked up to his table and asked something. Takumi shook his head in response and continued eating his pizza. The girl looked down, sad. I let my eyes go wide as I walked over to them. When I had them both in front of me I asked them,"Hey umm whats going on?" The girl looked up at me. "Are you his sister?" Her voice was like the typical anime girl's. High pitched and soft. I responded,"Yes I am." "Do you mind if I sit with you both?" She asked shyly. Takumi looked up at me while chewing. His chin jutted out slightly. A sighn for no.

I looked back to the little girl,"Yeah ofcourse sweety" Takumi gave me a look that said,"Im eating at the moment but I'll kill you later." I rolled my eyes but i was scared. I went with Ike to get myself some food. I picked up a lavender plate and went to the salads first. Ike chuckled,"The typical girl on the first date." I could'nt help but giggle. Then I stopped arubtly feeling the need to inform him that were not on a date. "Oh Im sorry. I got a little ahead of myself. It always takes time with girls like you" He winked and nudged me. I laughed sort of un-comfterable. Sure he was cute and pretty nice but he could be as shallow as Akasuki withjust a snap of the fingers. I glanced at him to catch him smiling at me with a softness in his eyes. He turned away quikly when he realized I was looking. How cute.

We got back to the table to see the pink haired girl marveling over Takumi as he ate his (what second?) peice of cake. I gotta hand it to him. The boy's got a thing for sweets. Anyway she continued to stare with a love in her eyes. I giggled and nudged Ike. He chuckled. But what i noticed was that what he was really laughing about was Takumi's face. Bored and just a hint of annoyance. "Sweety, what's your name?" I asked politely and gently as to not awaken someone from sleep. She reluctantly tore her eyes away from Takumi and answered, "Lidiya Smith" She answerd and so as far as I knew she wasnt really japanese. I asked her another question,"Where are you from?" This time she didnt bother to look away from Takumi and just answered,"Japan right now." I sighed and said,"Is every one here from japan?" I wasnt really expecting an answere but Ike gave me one. Absent mindedly, as he was on his PS3, he answered,"No..no not really I mean those girls back there are from Canada." I smiled at him and ruffled his hair. He paused the game just to look back up at me and smile then wink.

When we finally got it through Lidiya's head that Takumi had to leave, we went to the front door and I opened the door. Back on the forest ground, I said goodbye to Ike who simply ruffled my hair then silently, without a glance, walked off. Then Takumi and I walked home ourselves. In the silence I decided to sink into thought. About the kiss with Ike. Was he just curious? Did it mean something deeply to him? To me? To me it was a simple gesture of his cute flirty nature. I really like Sid and I was sure he was a nice guy. I trusted him. But Ike? To be honest I still had small doubt. 

Suddenly my thoughts were interupted as I went fliying sideways. Into the cold water. I panicked half way. Then my instincts kicked in. I kicked a little deeper in then I swam up to surface. Takumi was still walking with a bored look on his face. Now the revenge face made sense to me.
