You Should Be Grateful

-Cecelia-

I tried not to wince as I walked through the main gate of my family's shrine. I could tell that Daiki, Hikaru, and the asshole were following, but I didn't care. I threw my bag down, kicked off my shoes and headed straight for the bathroom right next to my room on the second level.

"Cecelia, where are you-"

Hikaru started to ask, but I just slammed the bathroom door and started running the hot water. It didn't take long for the tub to fill so I stripped and gently lowered myself into the water. I'd already taken a shower, but soaking my body in the mineral water would help them ease back up and heal. I sighed as I laid my head back against the ring of the tub.

'Just what the hell was that guy's problem anyway? He acted like he genuinely wanted to kill me.'

I thought then sighed as I remembered what losing that fight meant for me.

'Fucking dickwad. Now I'm going to have to beg Mr. Akuto to give me an extension on my rent. Fuck.'

I thought as I opened my eyes and stared up at the white ceiling of the bathroom.

'I could always move back here, but I hate staying in big places it makes me feel alone. And I mean come on, who the fuck has thirteen rooms in a house when only two of them are actually being used?'

I thought and sighed again. I moved so I was laying on my stomach in the water and put my arms up on the ring of the tub and laid my chin on the back of my hands.

"I suppose it wouldn't be so bad moving back here, but I like the independence of living on my own. And this place won't be so empty now that Daiki, Hikaru, and that asshole are staying here. But I really don't want to lose my apartment."

I said and groaned as I closed my eyes.

'It's settled then, I'll just have to beg Mr. Akuto to give me a couple more days to get the rent money I need. If I can't get it, then I'll move back here til I can get the money.'

I decided then got out of the tub and let the water out. I pulled on the light blue bathrobe before walking out of the bathroom and headed towards my room. I passed by Katsume and glared at him.

"Quit glaring at me human. It's not my fault you lost."

He said with a smirk as he crossed his arms and leaned against the wall.

"No, but it is your fault that I won't be able to-agh! Just forget it!"

I screamed before walking past him and going into my room.

-Katsume-

It was slightly amusing to see this little human get so upset over losing a match. I'd gone upstairs to wait for her when she came out of the bathroom. I hadn't expected her to be in such a flimsy robe though. I could clearly see the outline of her body and I had to admit she had a very nice one, but I noticed she was glaring at me and smirked at her.

"Quit glaring at me human. It's not my fault you lost."

I said as I crossed my arms over my chest and leaned against the wall.

"No, but it is your fault that I won't be able to-agh! Just forget it!"

She screamed at me before going into her room and shutting the door. I blinked, momentarily surprised at her anger and frustration.

'What won't she be able to do?'

I wondered, then frowned when I realized I was starting to care about this human.
