The moon shone gently, casting shadows in the garden. It was late and everyone was asleep. Well almost everyone was asleep. One person was finding it rather difficult to enter the realm of dreams. Kyohei Tanako lay in bed staring up at the ceiling. The moon was illuminating his room and he couldn't find a comfortable position, making it rather hard to fall asleep. Sighing he got up and crossed the room to the window. He went to shut the curtains but paused to look out into the night. The light from the moon reflecting off the pool, made it sparkle slightly and the soft light made shadows that danced along the grass. He had to admit it looked pretty but the light was disturbing his sleep and he cared more about that then the scenery. Pulling the shades shut he made his way back to his bed. Getting in he lay there…but he still couldn't fall asleep.
Damn it why can't I fall asleep? It's, he looked over at the clock, 1:30! I shouldn't be awake! Sleeping is one of my favorite things to do, besides eating. Especially when it's shrimp, make that fried, jumbo shrimp. An image of fried shrimp came into his mind's eye and he had to stop himself from drooling. He shook his head clearing the image from his mind. If I think about food I'll never get to sleep. He closed his eyes and relaxed, mentally willing himself to sleep. It worked because within a few minutes he was dreaming.
He found himself standing in a room that looked vaguely familiar but he couldn't place where it was from. With a jolt he realized that he was at that hotel that the landlady had sent him and… Oh shit. He spun about and looked around the room. When he noticed that he was the only one in the room he relaxed. Then he heard the sound of running water and he turned to find the source remembering just in time that there was a two way glass looking into the bathroom. Peeking out of the corner of his eye he saw steam and assumed that the shower was running. Shit I have to get out of here! He walked over to the door and turned the handle. It stuck halfway through the turn indicating that the door was locked. Oh crap! This isn't happening. I have got to get out of here before…He stopped thinking as he noticed something. It was suddenly very quiet. Turning slowly he came face to face with the very reason he was trying to escape.
"Hello Kyohei."
He stared at the person before him. Long raven black hair fell down her back still wet from the shower she had just taken. A drop of water ran down her face and he follower it's path with his eyes. It ran down past her eyes, then her lips. It continued down the side of her face, running down her neck until it passed down into the dip in her collar bone where the neck meets the shoulders. He felt his face heat up when he realized that she was wearing a towel. Only a towel. He turned quickly so she wouldn't see his expression.
He shivered when a cool hand toughed his shoulder.
"What's wrong Kyohei?" the person asked, her breath tickling his ear.
He turned to face her, his cheeks tinged red.
"Sunako."
She looked up at him and before he knew what he was doing she was in his arms and his lips were pressed against hers. He expected her to pull away and kill him but to his surprise she leaned into him, pressing her body up against him until there was no room between them. He tightened his hold on her waist and brought one hand to the back of her head to deepen the kiss. Eventually they broke apart, though their bodies were still pressed against each others. He went to kiss her again when….
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP
Kyohei groaned as he rolled over. Light was shinning though a slit in the curtains where he hadn't gotten it pulled shut all the way. He rolled over again and turned his alarm clock off. Was it all a dream? Well duh it was stupid. It's not like I would ever really do that. Besides, she would never let me do any of that to her, he thought to himself. He sighed and looked up at the ceiling. But why did I dreamed of doing that to her of all people? Sighing again he got out of bead. Walking over to his dresser he pulled out a pair of dark jeans and a t-shirt, putting them on.
Walking to the door he opened it and stepped out into the hallway.
Kyohei's P.O.V.
I walked out into the hall and headed towards the kitchen. Soon I was greeted with the smell of breakfast cooking and I started walking faster.
I opened the door to the kitchen and walked in. I looked around, confused at not seeing anyone in the kitchen. Normally I was the last one to arrive so it surprised me that no one else was here yet.
"Takenaga, this is the last time I am going to tell you to stay out of my kitchen while I am cooking before I do something that would make Noi-chan unhappy with me."
I jumped, startled at the sound of someone's voice in the supposedly deserted kitchen. I looked around and noticed Sunako washing something in the sink. Her back was turned to me and her hair fell in a sheet down her back, contrasting against her light shirt. She looked over her shoulder and I saw her eyes widen as she saw me before she quickly turned back to whatever she was washing. I blinked. There was no blood, no shrinking away from me and no yelling about me being too bright. There was nothing. Now to anyone else it wouldn't have seemed weird but to me it was as if the world had stopped. She had actually responded normally to my presence, and for some reason it made me strangely happy. I stood there not knowing what to do or say, an awkward silence growing.
"Sunako-chan, I know you've told me to stay out but I was wondering, oh Kyohei… What are you doing up this early?"
I turned to see Takenaga standing in the doorway.
"Um, I came to get some food. I'm hungry." Was I really up that early? I looked at the clock hanging on the wall to see what time it was. 8:30. Dang I was up early.
"Anyway, Sunako-chan I needed to talk to you about that… thing, but it can wait until later."
I turned to look at Takenaga. What" thing", and more importantly why didn't I know about it? Most of the "things" that were planned in this house were us trying to get Sunako to conform to high society. When had things changed and where had I been? I heard a sigh and shifted my attention back to Sunako.
"I still don't understand why I am required to participate. Besides he probably doesn't even want me there. Now would you both leave?"
She turned to grab some plates leaving the two of us standing there. Takenaga looked perplexed before turning and leaving the kitchen. I just stood there completely and utterly confused. What the hell was all that about?
"Hey what was that?" I asked.
"A discussion. I would have thought a creature of the light like yourself would know what that was."
I gaped at her. For some reason I felt mad at her, but I didn't know why. Then it dawned on me. I was the only one that she still referred as "creature of the light".
"You know, I have a name. Would it kill you to call me by it?"
She glanced over her shoulder before returning to placing food on the plates.
"It might. And everyone has a name not just you. Besides, I call all of my friends by name."
I watched as she walked around me, plates of food in hand. I call all of my friends by name. For some reason that stung more than it should have. I mean I didn't care if she considered me a friend right? Sighing I turned and walked out of the kitchen.
So what did you think? Like it? Hate it? Let me know :D read and review please!
