Chapter 2. Good morning for Kyo
It was surely not the best morning for Onime no Kyo. First that girl had woken up and started smiling like happy insane with her eyes shut, so that he was unable not to watch her. Yes, this sort of things about himself surely pissed him off the most. Then she suddenly looked around and stared at him (well, maybe not so suddenly after all…), so he barely managed to close his eyes before hers met them. In order not to make a fool of himself he blurted something stupid again. And again she was so annoying and irritating about this. He wondered if she was really blind. She wasn't herself while she was changing her clothes (yes, he wouldn't admit even to himself, that he'd been watching her changing through a screen) and even more strange, when she'd been waiting for Sakuya. He couldn't help but stared at her through drooping eyelid. He was even more surprised that she'd been trying to avoid his stare. There was really something amiss with her. He couldn't believe that it was just a reaction to his words, could he? And when she left he was sure about that. But still, she could have that time of the month. Stop, she couldn't. It was too early. So there was something else. When he understood that, he became anxious. He became nervous. That girl always drove him crazy; with her he was really out if his style. But right now he was really worried about her, but still he believed in her and didn't move an inch. Well, it was so until Akira got up… And that fellow was certainly out of the mood as well.
"And Kyo, what happened here? Would you mind telling me?", with melodically sarcasm asked Akira.
"…"
"Don't tell me, please, that I heard and felt everything myself. I'd like to know your point of view", - told him Akira not less sarcastically after not long pause.
"…"
"Well, don't you think you should behave something more appropriate for a guy, who is so fucking in lov…" - Akira hadn't succeed in finishing his sentence as he had to unsheathe his katana to prevent his throat being cut.
"So, you don't think so… What a pity!" – smiled ironically Kyo's best pupil.
"…"
"Well, at least don't you think you should cease calling her names and bullying her?"
"…"
"You know yourself; she doesn't deserve any of them. In the contrary, she is pretty beautiful and interesting. There's no man, who won't fall for her… (of course, if she leaves your side)…"
"…", Tenro pressed against Akira's katana even more firmly.
"You don't agree even with this… Hm, that's pretty ungrateful, that it doesn't seem like you at all… Remember, she saved your precious life of the strongest man in the world so many times…"
"…"
"You know, she was really giving up her life for you…"
"… Fucking bastard…"
"Wow… I managed you to talk…", exclaimed Akira. – "Then that's a promising day…", smiled he cat-like. He liked irritating and embarrassing Kyo… Yeah, he was addicted to it.
"… you bastard…" roared Kyo but still hadn't loosened his grip. Akira's smile really pissed him off like hell.
"Aya-aya… What do we have here? What a nice morning! Seeing gorgeous males in shape and with a seductive short-temper… Mmm… Yuya-san, what do you think, ah… Ara, ara… Yuya-san isn't here… So you guys fighting over her… aya-aya.. I'm so envious of Yuya-san… "
"Good morning, Okuni-san. It isn't like you. You've woken up so early today…"
"Aya-aya, so Akira-san. You don't deny, what I said… That's sooooo manly… Um, why haven't I fallen for you…" - said Okuni flirting.
"Maybe because foxes don't like ice?"
"Aya-aya… You're so mean, Akira-san…" - cried out playfully Okuni.
"Oh my, can you be not so loud… That's not the best way to wake up a drunken man. Oh, what a nice view!" – said Yukimura rubbing his eyes. "You guys have so good point at fighting. But don't you think, Yuya-san won't be happy, if she saw you both like that? Oh my, Kyo-san… Don't look at me like that… or I'll drink all sake here alone…"
"There's no sake", frowned Kyo.
"How pitiful… No Yuya-san, no sake… Kyo-san, I understand your depression… Wow. You don't have to use sheath like that, don't you think so? There are other ways to… Well, you know, your movements shout you have to tell Yuya-san as fast as possible, or…Hm… in the mornings you're really short-tempered boy…" – yawned Yukimura dodging Tenro's sheath. He laughed and turned on the other side and went on sleeping with his secret bottle of sake.
"Aya-aya. Yukimura'san is sooo strong… Kyo-sama, I'm truthfully sorry to say it, but you are loosing next to him"…
"Thank you, Okuni-san, I always knew you are very clever" – answered Yukimura with a blow kiss.
"And Okuni-san, don't bother yourself. He won't understand one certain thing. Or he just doesn't want to admit it. Poor thing. I wonder, if he understands, that it's really weakening him", smiled coldly Akira.
"..." - 'Talking like I'm not here, those bastards'
"Aya… I see, you right, Akira-kun. Then I'm going to have a walk. Akira-kun, will you accompany me? I'm…"
"No, thank you", answered Akira with a light bow and grinned (A/N. just try to imagine Akira-san's grin… XX). 'I don't wanna lose such a good mood to tease him'.
Kyo loosened his grip on the Tenro and got back to his sit near the window. He watched the street never looking at his "servants" and never listening to their talk. He was lost in has thoughts once again. He knew everything. But he knew also, that it's impossible for him… for both of them. But he was afraid, yes, the legendary Manslayer was afraid to find an answer in his heart, why they can't be together. Is it because of his past? Is it because he thought he was unable to give her happy peaceful family life? Or is it because he was unsure, that when he says her, she will see in her heart that her feelings were just an illusion and will decide to run away from him? Is it because he felt, she was hiding something from them? Even from him? He was sure, that she held back something. But what was it, that she tried to hide from him, him!! so madly? He thought, he believed, that she trusted him. She trusted him with her own precious life and still… she kept silent about this. That thought pissed him even greater than Akira's annoyance.
