#05: Meet The Ogre

Chikuseiso

Sayuri opened the door and saw Nico coming out from the kitchen. His hands were trembling. "Areh~ Are you dying? Old man?", Sayuri chuckled in a disturbing way and flipped her hair headed towards the kitchen where she assumes Haiji would be. "Haiji's went out for shopping", Nico informed. "Tch. No battle today?", Sayuri clicked her tongue. "It's not like you are attracted to Haiji. Why are you leeching around him?", Nico noticed. "Just to kill some time", Sayuri was about to leave when she noticed a sudden change in Nico's smell. "You're not smoking anymore?", she asked. Nico was surprised she would notice.

For a chain smoker, it would be a difficult dealing with the withdrawals. She sighed and picked some wires on her pocket which she was going to use. She was planning on placing it on Haiji's chair." You can play with these wires. It might be enough to make your hands stop shaking. They'll finally find something to do", Sayuri suggested.

Nico carefully reached out. "Is this cursed?", Nico asked. Sayuri gave a grin. After all, she loves teasing people.

She went out and saw Haiji around the backyard. He just came from shopping and he might be a little tired. Sayuri thought of stealing one or two of Haiji's precious cabbages. She went close and saw an oozing dark aura around Haiji. He's also laughing alone. Sayuri felt shivers and hid from him.

After a while, someone screamed inside of the bathroom. The bath was broken and the water is super duper cold for the weather. Tanizaki and Sayuri came to check. Sayuri stayed at the kitchen looking for any trace of Haiji but there was none. Poor Prince is nakedly cowering over the side. "There's a close public bath from here, you can use that for a while", Tanizaki informed. "Are you also going to join us, Nishi-chan?", the twins asked in unison. She doesn't have any issue with the two setting aside their loudness. They're both fun loving.

"Why not?", Sayuri smirked at the lads.

Public Bath

They stopped in front of each section. "Then, see you later. Nishi-chan", the twins waved at her with huge smiles. "How did she entice you?", Nico shook his head.

Girl's section

"Really, do I have to see you here?", Sayuri sighed at the sight of Rai with her younger sister. Rai has two younger siblings. She's the oldest. "She was pestering me to bring her here", Rai pointed at a tomato. "It's so hot here. Is she going to be okay?", Sayuri washed her body on the side. "I'll scrub your back", she volunteered. Sayuri was about to reject but saw the younger Mikami amazed by her fair and smooth looking skin. "Suit yourself", Sayuri nodded.

"By the way, Sayuri, the seniors were asking if you could spare some time tomorrow's lunch for additional practice. The event is drawing near",Mikami informed. "Geez. I have to spend time correcting their pronunciation again", Sayuri clicked her tongue. "That's probably why they're still asking you to help them out. It's because you won't allow a single mistake", Mikami smiled.

The blonde scrubbed her back and remembered Sayuri's conversation with Nira.

"Sayuri, about the dog that father ran over when you were in middle high. He was asking if you still want another one", Rai asked. "Since when had I ever wanted to adopt a dog? Father just wanted me to be with some kind of playmate when I was a child. Maybe he was scared of having a child growing up as a loner or something like that", Sayuri said with a bored tone. "You don't want one now? How about a cat... Or a rat?", Rai gave some options. "You're enough. It's like I'm taking care of a pup when we were in High School", Sayuri stood up and went into the bath. Rai's sister cannot help but stare at the magnificent figure.

They heard the male's section having some riot.

"Idiots", she chuckled.

The next day,

Supermarket
Sayuri roam around buying necessities. She was meticulous with the prices. She saw a familiar figure being appreciated by some random people.

"What is she? A celebrity?", Sayuri looked away and saw Musa on another stall.

"Eh~isn't this Musa-san?", Sayuri hummed with a slick smile. "A friend?",the store owner asked. "More or less", Sayuri leaned on the counter and just want to tease Musa for a while. A hand patted her shoulder. "Musa doesn't really like too much eye contact", Haiji informed. Sayuri bit her lip.

"Ah, Kiyose-san. Have you notice me from the crowd? Don't tell me you were following me?", Sayuri innocently asked. Haiji just gave a short laugh. That gave Sayuri some veins popping out from her head.

Did he just laugh?

"I'm heading back to Aotake. Let's go together", he invited. "You're really nice to escort a lady back", the store owner praised.

Street

"You're also a Kansei Student, right? What department?", Haiji asked.

"Are you interested? No way~ could it be that Kiyose-san is interested in me?", Sayuri said with a smirk. "You're always around so it's a good thing to know more about you", Haiji said with an innocent face.

Defeat!

"Literature Department", Sayuri answered. Haiji smiled with a short laugh. "I'm also from the literature department. If you need some help, you can ask me", Haiji offered.

"Eh? Kiyose-san is too kind. Why do you have to do that? Are you going to ask something in return?", Sayuri walked faster and have her chin lean on Haiji's shoulder. "Because you're always walking Nira around. I hope that could be a way to thank you", Haiji gave another friendly smile.
He wasn't bashful at all.

So twisted!

This man is so twisted from the inside.

Chikuseiso
Haiji and Sayuri arrived and saw an expensive looking car in front of the compound. Sayuri dropped her shopping bags with her eyes wide open.

Tanizaki is talking to a middle aged man. He seems to be apologizing for something.

He looked at their direction.

Sayuri was about to drop her groceries but Haiji caught it on time.

Haiji watched Sayuri's saddened expression and passed back her groceries. "See you tomorrow, Nishimiya", Haiji waved his hand. Sayuri didn't respond.

The next morning,
Haiji's Room

Sayuri hugged Haiji . "Good morning", Sayuri whispered in his ears.

"Good morning, Nishimiya. What are you doing in my room?", Haiji slightly chuckled. Sayuri felt irritated that he's not bashful at all. "You said that you'll see me today", Sayuri pouted. She released him from her grip and sat down. She tried to peek into Haiji's reaction but his hair is on the way. She pulled Haiji to face her direction and sat on his lap.

"Haiji-san. Aren't you feeling excited with me here?", Sayuri said with a seductive voice. "I'm going to be sued by Yuki if he sees you here. I don't feel excited at all. Actually, I feel nervous. ", Haiji sighed.

"Did something happen last night? Your eyes seems puffed. It was as if you cr-", Haiji was interrupted when the door opened. "Haiji-san. Time to run", the twins invited. They shouted as soon as they saw Sayuri on top of Haiji. They both flushed and woke up everyone.

Sayuri panicked and jumped out of Haiji. She was prepared to jump out of the window.

"By the way, you're warm, Nishimiya", Haiji said before Sayuri jumped.

Chapter end.
