Our Little Secret

Waiting

Recap- He looks down,"Can we," his voice trails off,"Can we talk?" I look back at Himiko and I mouth the word,"Hide" She then proceeds to walk into the bathroom and turn off the light. I turn back towards Shuichi," Sure, come on in." I walk over to the couch and sit down, brushing through my wet hair with my fingers,"What do you want to talk about?" He sits beside me, too close beside me,"Well uh..I just wanted to say that I.." He stutters a lot in an attempt to get his words out," It's just that, since this game started I uh-uhm.." I stop him," Spit it out already. Your wasting my time." He looked a little surprised, and a bit embarrassed. He looks at me dead in the eyes," I like you, Kokichi.."

Kokichi's POV
I laugh a little," Haha! That's a good one Saihara-Chan!" I put on a straight face,"Now, what did you really want to talk about. His face beings to get a bit redder," I-I'm not joking around Kokichi. I really do like you.." I feel him enter-twine his fingers with mine, I flinch and pull my hand back,"What the hell are you doing, Shuichi.." I stand up and look at Shuichi," Listen, I'm not one for telling the truth but right her and now, I'm gonna tell you the honest truth. Are you ready for that?" Shuichi nods, hesitantly if I may add. I lean down to where I'm at Shuichi's level," I don't like you. I don't love you. I consider you a mere acquaintance. That's all. I like someone else. I'm done with your shit Shuichi. It's just getting creepy at this point. Now, leave." His face, tint drained from it, now a pale white. His eyes big, his jaw is dropped a little. I grab his wrist and begin to pull him to the door. I open it and push him out,"Goodbye Shuichi." I slam the door and head back towards the couch. I sigh and place my head in my hands. I suddenly feel a hand on my shoulder, I jump a little,"Oh..Himiko. Sorry." She smiles a little," Are you alright, Kokichi?" She looked at me, concern and worry painted on her face. I smile back," Yes, Himiko. I'm okay.." She looks at me again," Or is that just a lie?" I laugh,"No lies this time." She leans her head on my shoulder."When will this game end?" I put my arm around her," Soon, at least, that's what I hope for." Suddenly I hear my door creak. I look over and see," M-Maki?!" I quickly stand up and walk over to the door. Maki looks at me," Kokichi. May I speak with you, outside?" I nod and look back at Himiko who also nods. I step out of my room and look down, how long had she been standing there? I look up at her," What's wrong?" She looks at me dead in the eyes," What did you do to Shuichi? He's been off since he came back from talking with you?" I look at her," I did nothing wrong, except tell him the truth." She cocks her head a little," Whatever are you talking about?" I sigh," He confessed that he liked me. But, I don't like him. I like H-" I'm stopped by Maki,"..You like Himiko, right?" I nod. Her face softens," Can I tell you something, Kokichi?" I look at her, confused,"I guess?" She smiles," I like Kaito." I smile a little," Hm, I guess we both like people who have a chance of dying huh? It's stupid to have feelings for someone who could be killed any day now." Maki sighs," I suppose you're right about that., but I think that means that both of us should work harder to get us all out of this game alive. All that's left is me, you, Shuichi, Kaito, Himiko, Tsumugi and Kiibo. One of us is bound to be next.." (Miu & Gonta's trial has already taken place)  Maki looks at me," I'll try to keep Shuichi away from you as well as the little red head your so enamored with." I smirk," And I'll try to hint to Kaito that you like him." Maki smiles and waves before walking away. As she rounds the corner, the now familiar and terrifying announcement plays," A Body Has Been Discovered!" Maki stops and turns around looks at me, I run inside and grab Himiko and the three of us begin running down the halls to find the body."
