Chapter 2:

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Karuta's P.O.V.

      Rice buns. Pocky sticks. Anything edible is always what people seeing me doing is eating. They don't know that food is not always what is on my mind. Ever since Ririchiyo arrived at Ayakashikan, she has been more of a friend to me than anyone else. Well everyone except...Watanuki. He doesn't even begin to realize how I truly feel for him. I even mentioned that I would write a letter to him in his next life and hoping that we would still be friends. I have always wanted to be more than friends. Even his bunny bodyguard knew that about me, even without me having to tell him. 

    It has been a few days since I've left my room that is on the second floor. It has been a week and a half since Kagero has stayed so I have done nothing, but order more and more food from the mall's website. I have it personally delivered to my door in Ayakashikan. No one, but Kagero has ever stepped foot into my room. The walls are covered in posters of Pocky Sticks, Rice Buns, and Tempura Udon...my three favorite foods. If someone was to open my refrigerator all they would see if snack and candy foods. I rarely eat anything healthy, but in cooking class in school I do cook some pretty delicious foods. Ririchiyo even said so! 

   A knock sounded on my door and I just stared at the door. Who could it be? I stumbled over all the empty ramen containers and candy wrappers to open the door. "Hello?" I asked as the door opened. Standing on the other side was Watanuki wearing his cute pink shirt he sometimes wears. Once he caught my mangled hair and pajamas, he just smiled. "You are okay. We have been worried downstairs for three days, Karuta! It's been three days since you have been out of this room! Why is that?" I just stared at his hands and noticed he had a package of a round donut. "Is that for me, Watanuki?" My voice is softer than Ririchiyo's and always calm, but for once I tried to put more emotion in my voice like Ririchiyo does. He placed it into my empty hands and responded, "Yes. I thought you may of ran out of food from being in here for days." I just stared at the donut and then tossed it aside. For once, I wanted to do something other than eat! I wanted to spend the day with Watanuki and try to become close friends like when we were little.

   "Did you not want the donut, Karuta? I heard they were your favorite." He asked with an eyebrow raised. I just shook my head and put one of my rare smiles on, "I would rather spend the day with you, Watanuki." After I said this, I noticed his neck strain as he swallowed and blushed deep red. "You want to spend it with me?" I nodded and grabbed his hand, pulling him into my room. Today, I will show him how much he means to me.

Miketsukami's P.O.V.

      Miss Ririchiyo is more beautiful than ever today. When I first saw her this morning, when I knocked on her door and she was only in the sweatshirt I let her have, my whole body filled with want. I wanted to make her mine and stay with her all day. I was so happy when she asked if I would go with her to purchase furniture. How could I say no to that? I couldn't. My inner voice told me to do it and plus I wanted to because I love her. Now we were currently walking towards the front entrance to the mall and I have to find the last little bit of control I have not to reach and hold her hand. I do not want to rush her into anything she isn't ready for. I know she told me she loved me and in that moment, I was the happiest man alive. Though she told me that, I don't want her to think she has to push herself to be with me. I'm perfectly fine going at the pace she is comfortable, so it surprised me when she held my hand. 

    I could feel that her palm was slightly sweaty, but I could barely even focus on that. Miss Ririchiyo was holding my hand...on her own! I just gave it a small squeeze and walked along side of her. She didn't even realize she was doing it so I didn't mention it. "Miketsukami, what type of furniture do you think I should have in the suite?" She looked up at me with a smile and it made my heart swell in my chest. I just stared at her for a second and realized she was waiting for my answer. I cleared my throat and smiled, "I think anything you want will look lovely almost as lovely as you look today, Miss Ririchiyo."

   I opened the front door to the furniture store and waited until she stepped into the store before closing the door behind me. She just rolled her eyes, "Stop talking nonsense. I want your opinion. I was thinking maybe a big dinner table in the center where there is an open area from the door into the living room. Maybe we can even buy a television and stand while we are at it. I was thinking since I am probably going to be living in Ayakashikan for a few years, I might as well invite people over to have dinner parties and hang out. What do you think?" Her tiny smile as her eyes roamed different dining tables brought out a bright smile out of me. I just couldn't believe someone as amazing and beautiful as Miss Ririchiyo could love someone like me. I was practically a sex slave to the woman that I lived with and then proceeded to be a slave to Kagero, which lead to me writing to Miss Ririchiyo. I guess I can't hate my past because it brought me my very own angel from Heaven. I admit she was a little rude and to herself when she first arrived at Ayakashikan, but something in her has changed. She even wrote it in the letter she meant to leave in the time capsule. She wanted to make herself better and be by my side. When she wrote that, I couldn't believe. I loved her so much at that moment, but felt like she wouldn't feel the same way.

     Her voice broke my daze, "Miketsukami, what do you think about this table? It is 30,000 ¥, do you think that's too expensive for a dining room table?" I just pulled out the money and handed it to her, "It definitely isn't expensive if you have a boyfriend and bodyguard such as me." I gave her a wink and caused her to blush pink. "Thank you, Miketsukami. I can buy stuff myself though." She walked up to the counter and purchased the table and returned back to where I was standing and before she could say anything, I pressed a finger to her lips. "Shh,  Miss Ririchiyo. I wanted to, but if you insist..you can pay for our lunch in the food court." She grinned widely and we headed up the food court on the third floor of the mall. Pretty amazing day so far.

Karuta's P.O.V.

    Since I pulled Watanuki into my room, he has done nothing but multiply his form and clean up the suite. "How can you live with all this trash on your floor, Karuta?" All of his little tanuki [Japanese racoon dog] creatures spoke at once. I just sat and propped my legs up on my couch, while I watched him work. I shrugged, "I really like food and never noticed." I pulled my knees up to my chest and slowly felt drowsy. "Karuta, you sound different. Your voice isn't as soft as it was before. It's clearer and more open sounding. Are you alright?" He transformed into his human form and walked over to where I was sitting. I just got the word yes out before darkness formed over my eyes and I drifted into a sea of dreams.
