Chapter Five: The Misunderstanding

In the shadows of a darkened room, a figure sat by a window, staring out at the night. A soft knock at the door alerted her. “Come in.” her voice was soft, and at the same time, dangerous. A person entered and walked over to the violet haired woman. He bent and whispered something in the person's ear before turning and walking away.

The figure smirked and continued looking out at the stars. “So, the girl has finally arrived. Things are going to start getting interesting. Now, let's see if she can accomplish what her successors could not. Let's see if she can end it all…”

Anika sighed. She was bored. It was Sunday and Kisa and Hiro were over at the house and they were watching this really stupid and pointless anime that Kisa had brought with her. Anika, not wanting to hurt her feelings since she was one of her only friends, had agreed to watch it. Hiro had agreed to watch only after she had, though she could tell he was just as bored.

Anika had noticed a dramatic change in Hiro's attitude towards her and Kisa. Hiro didn't seem to blush as much around Kisa anymore. Anika wondered if he was finally accepting the fact that he had no chance with Kisa and was slowly letting her go.

As for his attitude towards her…well, let's just say it was kind of rocky. After she had told her secret, he had avoided her for a few days. As if not knowing how to act around her. But that was okay, because he was starting to at least talk to her. And Anika was fine with that.

Kisa turned her attention from the TV to Anika. “Is there something wrong Anika?” Anika looked to her. “No Kisa, everything's fine.” She smiled. “Don't worry.” Kisa nodded and smiled back before returning her attention to the TV. Anika quietly got up and left the room without Kisa knowing, seeing as how her back was to her.

She stepped outside and sat down on the steps. She heard someone behind her and she turned her head briefly to look at the person. It was Tohru. (A/N HA! Betcha thought it would be Hiro, right? I'm right aren't I?) She sat down beside her and smiled at her. “What are you doing out here Anika? Shouldn't you be inside with Hiro and Kisa?”

Anika looked at her briefly before looking back out to the tree line. “I guess. I just got bored so I came out here.” Tohru made an “o” shape with her mouth. Tohru smiled at her younger cousin. “You should go back in; I bet Hiro is getting curious as to were you're at.”

Anika opened her mouth to ask what the hell she meant. But before she could, Tohru smiled at her secretly and left. Anika growled in frustration. `What the hell did she mean by that? And WHAT was with that smile! It was as if she knew something I didn't! I hate it when she does this!' Anika got up and walked back into the room were Kisa and Hiro were in. She sat back down quietly and glanced at Hiro out of the corner of her eye.

`What did Tohru mean when she said that?' Hiro suddenly looked at her as if he sensed she was watching him. Anika quickly turned away and fought to keep down a blush. `ARGH! What the hell is WRONG WITH ME! Why am I blushing? Oh god, I think this just got more confusing.

Anika sat in class bored. She already knew everything that they were talking about. She started daydreaming and not really paying attention. Suddenly, the teacher asked Anika a question. “Anika, can you please repeat EVERYTHING I just said?” her voice was silkily sweet, as if she expected Anika to not be able to do the request.

Anika looked to the teacher bored. Then she repeated word for word what the teacher had been talking about. She smirked at the dumbfounded look on the teachers face while everyone else in the class snickered. The teacher started spluttering, not being able to form coherent sentences.

Then the bell rang and everyone gathered there things and started to leave since the school day was now over. As Anika left, she smirked at the teacher. Anika left the school building and started walking over to Tohru's school. “Anika!”

Anika turned around to see Kisa running up to her, pulling Hiro by the arm behind her. They stopped in front of her and Kisa started trying to catch her breath while Hiro looked unfazed. Anika sweatdroped. This scene looked familiar. Kisa looked up at her and smiled. “So, were you going?”

“I'm going to meet Tohru. She asked me to help her with something after school got out.” Kisa nodded. “Oh. Can we come to?” Anika shrugged. “Sure.” She turned around and started walking with Kisa and Hiro trailing along beside her. Then Anika remembered something.

“Oh yeah!” She turned to Kisa. “Kisa, why do you call Tohru sissy?” Kisa opened her mouth to respond when she was cut off by a yell. “Anika! Hold on!” The three stopped and turned around to see Shane running up to them. Anika eyes widened.

“Shane! What are you doing here?” He stopped in front of them panting. “I need to ask you something Anika.”

“Ummm…Okay.” Shane pulled her off to the side so Kisa and Hiro couldn't hear.

“Ummm…I was wondering…” He blushed heavily and suddenly looked very shy.

“Yes?” Anika pushed.

“Um…your friends with Kisa right?” Anika suddenly had an idea of were this was going and she smirked.

“Yessss, why?” Her smirk widened when she saw his blush darken.

“I was wondering if you could…um…that is…could you…” He just couldn't seem to get a complete sentence out. Anika laughed. “You were wondering if I'd ask Kisa to go out with you, right?” Shane looked away avoiding eye contact with her.

“Yes.” He mumbled. Anika smiled warmly at him. “Sure.” He looked up hopefully. “Really?” Anika laughed at the look on his face. “Yes really!” Suddenly they heard a strangled sob.

Both Shane and Anika looked over to were Kisa was and were shocked to see tears streaming down her face with hurt and betrayal in her eyes.

Kisa and Hiro watched as Shane dragged Anika away from them with curious eyes. “I wonder what Shane wants with Anika?” Kisa inquired. Hiro shrugged bored. They could see their lips moving, but they couldn't hear what they were saying.

Kisa moved a little closer to hear what they were saying. Yes, she knew it was wrong to eavesdrop, but she was just SO CURIOUS!

“You were wondering if I'd…go out with you, right?” Kisa's eyes widened as she heard that. She saw Shane look down and mumble something. Then she saw Anika smile warmly at him. “Sure, no problem.” She saw him look up hopefully “Really?” Then she heard Anika laugh. “Yes, really!” By this time tears were running down her face in torrents and she felt her heart break. A strangled sob escaped her throat and she saw Anika and Shane look at her.

“Anika how could you!” Kisa yelled before turning around and running.

12345678910987654321 (With Anika and Shane)

Shane and Anika turned and saw Kisa looking at them with tears running down her face and hurt and betrayal in her eyes. “Anika how could you!” She yelled before turning around and running. Anika's eyes widened as she realized what happened. “Shit! Kisa!”

She dropped her bag to the ground and ran after her. “Kisa!” But Kisa just ran faster and ignored Anika cries. Soon Anika lost sight of her. Anika stopped near a park and sat down on a bench winded. `She can run fast!' Then she heard something. She tensed and listened closely. It was coming from the bushes behind her.

Slowly. She got up and walked over there. There it was again! She slowly pushed the branches away. And there was Kisa curled up in a ball and crying into her arms.

“Kisa…”

12345678910987654321 (With Hiro and Shane a few minutes before)

Shane and Hiro watched them run off with confused eyes. Well, actually… Shane was the only confused one. Hiro was just pissed. Slowly, he turned around, looking at the ground and spoke in a deathly calm whisper. “What did you do?” Shane just looked all the more confused. “I-I didn't do anything!”

Hiro's head snapped up and Shane saw the fury in his eyes and gulped. “Liar!” Hiro screamed. He ran forward and rammed Shane into the wall that was beside the path they had been walking, pinning him there. “Tell me! What did you do! What did you say?!”

Hiro glared at him dangerously and Shane stared at him fearfully. “I-I didn't do anything! I swear! All I did was ask Anika to see if Kisa would go out with me! That's all!” He closed his eyes and he cowered in fear.

Hiro dropped his arms to his sides releasing Shane. His eyes widened as he realized what must have happened. `Shit! Kisa has great hearing! She must have only heard part of what they were saying and misunderstood!'

“Shit! Not good!” Hiro exclaimed. He picked up Anika's dropped bag and ran in the direction that Anika and Kisa went. Shane looked after him in confusion before picking himself up off the ground were he was dropped, quite painfully I might add, and began running after Hiro.

“Hey! Wait for me!”

With Kisa and Anika

“Kisa…”

Kisa's head snapped up and she looked at Anika. “What do you want?” Anika winced at her tone. It sounded so hurt. “Kisa, look…” But Kisa cut her off. “I don't want to hear it! I trusted you! You knew I liked Shane! Yet you still went and accepted a date with him!” Anika sighed.

“NO, I didn't.” Kisa glared. “Yes you did! I heard yo-!” This time Anika cut her off. “Kisa!” Anika was glaring at her now. Kisa closed her mouth and looked at her with wide eyes.

“Now listen Kisa. I DID NOT except a date with Shane. You really think I would do that to you? You only heard part of what he was asking. He was really asking me if I would ask you to go on a date with him!” Kisa stared at her wide eyed.

“H-he did?” Anika smiled. “Yes, he did.” Kisa smiled happily. “Now come on. Let's go sit down on a bench and wait for Hiro and Shane to find us. They probably ran after us. Knowing Hiro though, not after he got some answers.” Kisa giggled at that, imagining what Hiro did.

Anika led Kisa to the bench she had been occupying. It didn't take long for Hiro and Shane to show up. Anika got up and let Shane go past her to sit down on the bench next to Kisa. But she stopped Hiro from following, and instead led him away to a spot were they could still watch, just not hear.

They silently watched as Shane and Kisa talked. When Kisa smiled and nodded vigorously, Anika laughed. Shane smiled at her and said something that made Kisa blush but laugh all the same. Anika looked over to Hiro to see him watching all this happen with sad eyes.

“Hey.” Anika put a hand on his shoulder comfortingly. “You okay?” Hiro turned to look at her and he smiled faintly. “Yeah, I'm okay. It just hurts, you know? I've been in love with Kisa for a while, and it's hard to see her with someone else. I realize though that it would be selfish to keep her to myself and that I have to let her go. No matter how painful.” He clenched his fists tightly and he closed his eyes to keep the tears that were forming from falling. “It just hurts so MUCH!”

Anika's eyes softened. “I know.” She pulled him into a sort of sideways hug with her arm around his shoulders. “But don't worry. It'll get better eventually.” Hiro tenses at her hug, but he relaxed slowly. Anika looked suddenly at the watch on her left wrist and her eyes widened. “Shit! I'm late!”

Anika jumped and let go of Hiro before turning around and running in the direction of Tohru's school.

Hiro sweatdroped.

Then he realized that he still had her bag. “Anika! Hold on! Your bag!” He ran after her.

They both left a very confused Shane and Kisa behind. They both sweatdroped. Shane turned to Kisa. “What's wrong with them?” Kisa shrugged. “I don't know.”

“Oh well.”
