03. Confused

Uzui Tengen, well known to be a delinquent in Kimetsu Academy, yet was always welcomed by the students. Due to his good looks and flamboyant nature, he had captured many maidens' hearts and claimed them as his own.

But then there was this one particular girl he was interested in, yet he disliked her personality. That's why Tengen was frowning so badly as he watched [name] speaking to Mitsuri with a wide smile on her face, looking extremely beautiful.

Clad in a pair of long skinny jeans that were ripped at the knee along with a pair of ankle black books that matches her jeans. She then dawns on a tank top that hugged her body quite perfectly, and her hair was up in a ponytail.

She was beautiful.

So beautiful, to Tengen.

Mitsuri was busy explaining to [name] her role in the play that they were supposed to perform during the carnival, and [name] was listening. Yet, in her heart, she really wanted to just bail on the performance.

[name] then sighed as Mitsuri handed her a stack of her scripts, and she then proceeded to run off, looking for Obanai once more. [name] then frowned as she started to read the script, a little hesitant to be performing in the play.

"She was locked away in the highest floor of the kingdom, only to have a reason for her to not be seen by others. She was too beautiful, that anybody would want to kidnap her and take her as their own," [name] whispered out, finding the storyline a little interesting.

She then ended up on the ground with a thud and she winced at the pain that was rising on her bum. She noticed a shadow looming over her and she looked up, with a smile on her face yet her mind was mentally cursing, she looked at Tengen.

Yet, her eyes widened at the gentle look he was giving.

"You alright, doll?" he asked and helped her up even though she tried to decline the offer. Many started to squeal a little at how Tengen was holding onto [name], with a hand placed on her back and pushing her towards his body.

[name] then smiled in response but Tengen knew, she was ready to kill him when nobody was looking. But yet the warmth radiating from her back made him not want to let her go. An unexpected feeling arose in his heart as he looked at her face.

Flawless. Beautiful.

"Kya! They're doing it already, Iguro-san!" and Tengen looked up only to see Mitsuri running towards the duo while grabbing hold of Obanai by the arm and pulling him along. Tengen then allowed [name] to steady herself and soon he removed his hands from her body.

She then sighed and squats down, picking up the scripts that Mitsuri had handed to her earlier on, only to see Tengen helping her as well. She then stopped as she looked at Tengen, the way his hair would fall over his face, and his fuchsia-colored eyes will shift about to find any stray papers.

Why does this scene seem so familiar to her? She wondered. But chose not to question it anymore, and grabbed hold of the stacks of papers from Tengen and placed them together. [name] then noticed Mitsuri was standing right in front of her, and [name] could only smile in response.

She was a little tired, probably because she went home late the previous day. And to add on, she got caught in the rain as well. But she somehow deep in her heart she knew if she lashed out right now in front of Mitsuri, she would probably make her cry.

And [name] didn't want that to happen in any way.

"[name], are you alright? You look flushed," Mitsuri commented as she looked at [name]. Her cheeks were slightly red, and her lips were a little pale. But it was difficult to tell from far that she wasn't well, after all, only when people look up close then they will notice.
