A/N:

I have been thinking about writing my stories off of Wattpad and discontinuing them on here. I just feel like there is just not enough feedback. Arigato to the fans of my stories. I will update the more votes I get, but I may stop writing for a while if I don't get any feedback. Anyway, enjoy the chapter and hopefully vote at the end. Next update won't be until I get 10 votes on the story?  ~Mikuru~

Chapter 3:

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

Ririchiyo's P.O.V.

       Miketsukami and I were currently eating bento from the food court in the mall and instead of eating, he keep looking up from the box to me. I lifted my gaze and raised an eyebrow, "Is there a reason you keep staring at me?" I didn't mean for it to come out rude, but it didn't seem to effect him. "You're just so beautiful, Miss Ririchiyo. I apologize. Continue to eat and please do not mind me. I can't help, but stare at my beautiful girlfriend." My cheeks were ablaze with embarrassment and I slammed my head onto the table to hid the redness. I felt Miketsukami's hand touch my shoulder with concern in his voice, "Miss Ririchiyo! Are you alright? You hit your head quite hard on the table." He lifted me up by my shoulder and ran a finger against my forehead. I just stuttered, "I-I'm not beautiful, Miketsukami. I am just a small breasted child to you. You've probably been around women who are way more beautiful than I am." 

    I didn't hear a word from Miketsukami for a few moments, so I decided to raise my eyes to look and see why he wasn't saying anything. His face was twisted in anger and I noticed his eyes changing..that could only mean one thing. He was about to change. I swallowed deeply and placed my hand hesitantly against his, "Miketsukami, please calm down. You can't transform here. This is a public place. Just breathe." He's never been angry around me before and for once I was scared. I kept my face from showing off the fear and I felt him slowly relax. He gave my hand a tight squeeze and leaned forward so his face was inches from mine, "Miss Ririchiyo, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. I fell in love with you from the moment you noticed me in our letters to each other. You were only ten back then and I was seventeen. I do admit that I have been around women more than anyone my age at that time would have been. I wish I could change my past, but it's not possible. Believe me when I tell you, that you are the most beautiful woman ever, Miss Ririchiyo. I'm surprised with someone that is as beautiful as you, that you chose to love me." I noticed tears building up in his eyes and a sad smile form on his lips.

    Before I could stop myself, I stood up and walked over to his side of the table. When I made his arms fall to his sides, he asked shocked, "Wha--" I cut him short by pressing my lips against his. This was my second kiss ever and I tried to make it worth while. Our first kiss was sweet and passionate and so was this one. I moved my lips against his to get a response out of him. It, of course worked and I felt him slowly press his lips harder against mine. His left hand ran up my side and when he reached my face, he caressed my cheek. I could feel tons of eyes staring at us and I felt embarrassed. I pulled back and could feel my cheeks flushing with a blush. Miketsukami just gave me one of his sweet toothy smiles and held my hand. "What was that for?" I was taken back by his question and just shuffled my feet, "For being so sweet to me and being here for me." I sat back down on my chair and finished my bento with Miketsukami.

Watanuki's P.O.V.

        I watched as Karuta slowly fell back against the couch. Her eyes were closed and her breathing was heavy. I ran over to her and laid my hand against her forehead. She had a fever! As she breathed slowly, I started to become worried for her. What had happened to cause her to fall into a deep sleep? I sat down next to her and pulled her close enough for her to lay her head on my shoulder. We haven't been this close since we were little kids and I felt my heart do a little flip. I was falling in love with Karuta. I mean, don't get me wrong..I liked her before and would do anything for her, but now I truly understand the emotions I have been feeling. It's love.

     I slowly lifted her head to place a pillow under her head. After I made sure she was laying comfortably on the couch, I tip-toed over to her desk that she had in the center of the room. I found a small piece of paper with food stickers covering the entire thing. I wrote a small note saying:

Karuta, 

       I am heading down to the lounge to get some lunch and talk to Zange and Sorinozuka. Sleep as long as you want and come down when you are hungry. I lov...Goodbye, Karuta. 

Watanuki

     I placed the note beside her head on the couch and walked out of her suite. I almost put the words I love you in the letter. How stupid could one person be? She obviously doesn't feel the same way about me. All she really cares about is food and when she is going to eat again. I have been trying to get her attention at school and in Ayakashikan, but of course I can never fully get it. I might as well forget about the feelings I feel towards her because it is never going to happen. 

    As I pressed the button to the elevator, the doors opened to reveal Zange. Here we go. "Watanuki! How are you today? Remember to always listen to Master Bunny!" He held up a sign that had a bunny with a very serious face. I just growled, "I don't have to listen to you, bunny. But to answer your question, I am doing fine..I guess." I just pushed past Zange and walked into the elevator. He stepped aside to press the first floor button and mumbled, "I doing fine..I guess. What kind of lame answer is that, Watanuki? Really..how are you?" I just sighed and pressed my head against the side of the elevator, "To be honest, I am having the worst time with my feelings lately. I-I..I mean. I think I am in love with Karuta."

   Zange just laughed so hard that he had to hold his chest. I whipped around to face him, "What the hell are you laughing at, Zange?" He just smiled and slowed his laughter down enough to speak, "I'm laughing because you are so dense. You know she loves you too, right?" I just stared blankly at him. Karuta loves me?

[A/N: The italics in this part of Karuta's point of view, is her dreaming. Continue reading. ^_^]

Karuta's P.O.V.

       Where was I? My back was pressed against a solid pit of darkness and smoke the color of grey swirled around me. In the darkness, I could hear laughter. I wonder who was there. I opened my mouth, but before I could speak someone else's voice echoed through the invisible room. "Hello, my little flower. I am so glad you finally found your way into my dark alley of dreams." My head whipped around when I felt someone's breath against my neck. The figure who stood behind me reminded me of someone I knew, but it seemed as though my memories were gone. Who am I? I looked up into the eyes of the stranger and asked in a soft voice, "Who are you?" He smiled wickedly and stepped close enough that his warm breath fell on my lips. He smiled and whispered, "I am your nightmare. The worst one ever. I am who conducted in your pink food-filled head of yours. To answer your question why I look familiar, is because you based my looks off of someone you know...someone who is close to you." I shivered and moved my head back, "Who am I?" The man just smiled wider and chuckled, "You are my little dreamer and I am going to keep you trapped within this nightmare of darkness.
