"A Love Story" Kaede and Shuichi

Chapter 10

Kaede's POV

    It was the morning after our first time dancing. I woke up with a big smile on my face and a sigh of relief. I was starting to forget how terrible this killing game was, and was more focused on love.

    After getting ready, I headed to the dining hall. Yeah, I could add in details of what was said, but nothing really happened. Shuichi gave me cute little glances and we also talked while everyone else had their own conversations. It was starting to be a normal day. After breakfast we walked in the halls with each other. The morning had been normal, so I did something to change it.

    "Hey, Shuichi. Turn to me for a second," I say. We stopped and he stared at me.

    "What is it?" He asked. I grinned.

    I didn't even say anything as I took off his hat quickly and started running like the wind. "Hey! HEY!" I heard him yell and chase after me. Our footsteps were hard against the floor, clacking harshly. I laughed as I continued to run, not turning behind me as I could hear that he was near. I took a sharp turn, which slowed my speed. He did as well and right before he could snatch me, I was already sprinting the other direction we turned.

    I sprinted all the way to the courtyard, my feet patting against the concrete, then on grass. He chased me the whole time. I was getting tired and knew I needed to keep running. I went back inside and skipped steps to reach the 1st floor. I kept my grip tight on his hat as I reached the first floor, starting to run. I was about to make a turn in a hallway, by Himiko's lab, and as I was making a turn, I screamed.

    Shuichi grabbed me tightly, his arms wrapping tightly around my stomach. After my yelp, he moved his head so I could see him, but kept his grip on me.

    "Do I get my hat back now?" He asked. His hair had been partially ruined, or not as straight as before, because of the wind. I saw his smirk and pouted.

    "No," I said simply, pulling his hat to my chest and pushing it against me, hard. He chuckled and went to get it out of my hands. I shifted and moved around, trying to shake him off of me.

    "C'mon Kaede, what are you going to do with my hat anyway?" He asked still trying to take it from me. I shook my head.

    "Nothing," I said, still acting like a child and not giving it to him. His chest was pressed against my back as we fought for the hat.

    He sighed. "Well, you leave me no choice," He then had his right hand completely wrapped around me tightly and his left hand started to tickle my neck mercilessly. I cried in laughter and giggles, kicking and throwing my arms to try and get him off. In the act, he snatched his hat and let go of me.

    "What? Ugh, cheater!" I pouted when I turned around to him. He just chuckled, putting his hat back on. I crossed my arms. "No fair."

    "You don't need my hat anyways," He said. I looked at him in disbelief.

    "Um, yes I do," I said.

    "What do you need it for then?"

    "Cause.. I want it. That should be reason enough," I say, still pouting. I give him a bratty look. He sighs.

"Is this good enough?" He leaned in and kissed my lips gently, giving me a little peck. After he released, I saw a slight blush to his cheeks. I blushed too, but wouldn't dare give in.

"No..." I say. He then grabs my hand and turns us towards the stairs to that led us to the first story.

"Is walking around with you good enough?" He asked with a smile. It was my turn to sigh.

"Fine." But really, I was happy. We met eye contact again and I gave him a quick grin. He smiled back and we started to walk back downstairs, him squeezing my hand from time to time.

(Sorry I haven't posted anything lately. School has kept me staying up doing homework :P but I promise I'll post a chapter, maybe two this weekend. I'll also work on publishing my other Danganronpa book, which is a secret :) bye guys!)
