Garbage–– I think I’’m paranoid
----------
A/N: this chapter is going be written (well, try to write it) in 3rd person’s view/narrative. Why? Well, I’’m not what you call ‘brilliant’ at writing romantic scenes in a character’s POV (besides, we wanna see what more than ONE person is thinking about in this chapter don’’t we? Nod and agree with me –– I’’m not gonna kill you over it.) So, I hope you enjoy this!
----------
this……this was nuts. The letter had specifically told her that he was going to everything in his power to avoid her and yet; as sod’s law would have it –– he turns up outside the Bonsai Kwik-E-Mart. Why was he there? Did he somehow cave in and one way or another found out that she was meeting up with her mother?
She was on tenterhooks; hoping that he didn’t spot her just hiding behind one of the bric-a-brac stands. As far as common-sense –– plus the note was concerned, Mina had to play shadow. Otherwise she might be doing more than just limping home.
When she was convinced that he had gone to take a leak, her instincts commanded those legs to bolt across the dust-trodden floors inside the mall (causing her trainers to screech and make skid marks).
“Ouch! Stupid, stupid revolving doors! Why do they have to move towards you??” she winced, constantly soothing the new bruise on the back of her head. It’’s a no wonder she hasn’’t got brain damage!
The supermarket was busy as usual. The OAPs were trying to batter the assistants for no reason (unless you count them trying to slip the odd bag of quavers in the worker’’s pockets so that they had an excuse to give them the odd run around).
Sakura was a usual, bribing the Sarayashiki students to fork over the gossip or Yen in exchange for fags or booze. The irony of it was the fact that she was charging them double for the ‘freebies’. Blondes do have more fun then.
“Mina! Little mi-mi!” A terrifying image of utter loser-ville came prancing towards her; thick rimmed glasses, gapped teeth wide enough, to park your car inside and do a three-point turn at the same time plus; to top it all off (we won’’t include the unfortunate pre-mature voice, that would put Joe Pasqaule to shame.) it had a barnet that only required a wet finger and a plug socket.
“Maki…….greeeat…….”
216;‘Haven’t they fired him yet?’’ she thought, grimacing at the vision of him getting stuck in the deli counter. That’’s why they never got the ham from there. Now that you mention it, they brought nothing from that shop.
“My, my you look ravishing this evening? You’ve done something to your hair haven’t you??”
“I brushed it”
Maybe if she could get him to flounder over to the freezer, she could ‘accidentally’ trip the annoying brat thus, resulting in giving him time to ‘chill’. But ……she could get her mother sacked since he is the manager.
“Oh, hi honey, you’ve got a face like a smacked arse –– what’’s up?” Sakura blurted, exhaling the smoke fumes as if it some sort of a signal for the pair to walk outside (away from Maki).
Still, Mina was silent. Whether it was because she had nothing to say or not didn’t really matter, the harden expression upon her face showed clearly what she was feeling.
Betrayed
Abandoned
Resentment
Uncertainty
Why wasn’t she told in the first place? Did they really think she was that naive? Clinging to her school blazer for comfort; she tried to be calm as she could –– not that it was an easy task of course.
“Why couldn’t you tell me sooner…….”
“We didn’t have a ch-”
A sudden blast of icy cold whipped around the trees, as if to hush Sakura, however it proved to be futile.
“Choice??” Mina’’s eyes blazed. “No mother that wasn’t it was it?? You two thought I couldn’t handle the news if I went into the court room wasn’t it?? I’’m not a thug y’know!!”
Her mother gazed away. It was true; she thought that Mina would knock the judge flat out. After all that’s what she would’ve done if it was allowed.
“I know you’re not Mina…….It’s just that, when I look at you I see myself all over again with my mother. I’’m just looking out for you that’s all.”
Stars began to cautiously appear in the shifting skies as white, cotton buds struggled to cushion the heavily-hung full moon. Blossoms flittered about in the same motions of tiny pink and white butterflies all around the town.
The young, sympathetic brunette just nodded. If that’s the way it has to be, she would spend the rest of her school days studying hard (and finally kicking the crap out of Sui good an’’ proper).
When her mother left for home she made her way to one of the few rural spots that looked over the entire place. Thank god none of those sex-addicts knew about it (all the other spots were filthy with split condoms and the odd lost bra –– hell there were so many dumped clothes you could have a car-boot sale!)
She hurled a puny stone frustrated.
“I’ve got other things to bother with at the moment. I can’t just fly off the handle when it was against my will in the first bloody place!. Dammit where’s a fag when you NEED one!?”
Being in a haze of mixed emotions tends to leave the unsuspected wide open in terms of awareness. Someone was watching her attentively –– only that someone was Kurama.
Seeing this ‘aggressive’ teenager in this manner amused him. Indeed that’s what fascinated Meiou High’s top student towards her.
Okay, Mina was annoying at first, but after carefully pulling back all the layers one at a time; it had unveiled not a childish minx, but a rather calculative woman who funny enough; was hell-bent on uniqueness.
He on the other hand, wanted to be the same as everyone else.
Heated blood simmered through his circuitry system. That was the main problem in Kurama’s case. He tried everything the keep a deep-rooted craving at bay–– even encasing himself with impenetrable vines just didn’t make the cut. Why was he in his true form when he first got to properly know her at Genkai’s temple??
She looked so frightened, and yet fascinated.
Hearing Mina’s relaxed sighs brought about a new sensation as Kurama continued to watch from a distance –– discomfort in the trouser department.
‘Think……of someone really repulsive……think……Anne Widdecombe!’
One of the fallen twigs snapped, resulting in Mina to come to her senses that she wasn’t alone. Couldn’t she just for once relax without something disturbing her train of thought!? Maybe a black eye and broken leg should suffice.
“SHOW YOURSELF ASSHOLE!! I’’VE GOT A…….Kurama? wh-what the hell are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to ––”
Dammit she was interrupted again! Only by the swift movement of hard-pressed lips with the aim of seduce and curiosity. Now, if she didn’t know that Kurama was also Youko Kurama; she would’ve been more surprised by his abrupt forwardness.
Still, wouldn’t you be knocked for six?
Trails of soft, possessive kisses made its way down to the collar bone. Moving away just made him growl and grasp her even tighter……but moaning with pleasure wasn’t exactly helping either.
“Ah...umm Kurama you’’re growing Yoko ears…….” Pointing to the obvious.
“……please excuse me for a moment, just need to um, yeah”
She couldn’t stop herself from bursting out laughing as he struggled to make his ears ‘disappear’.
“Hahahahahaa HAHA! That’’s what you get for trying to get fresh with me fox-boy!”
““Maybe if you weren’t so appealing I wouldn’t be transforming like this!”
“Well excuse me for laying on the grass and wondering how I’m gonna tell my friends that I’’m leaving for two years because of court custody!””
““You’’re……. leaving?”” stopping suddenly in his tracks.
“Yeah, according to the court, now that I’m 16, my dad has custody of me till I’m 18. I’m not happy about either but you see…….I don’’t have a say in the matter…….I never do”
They sat down on the grass in silence together. For over an hour they just sat there not murmuring a single syllable. Kurama would now and again glance over to see Mina gazing up at the lonely moon as if it was one big quirk of fate that just like the heavenly body itself; she was there just to be stared at.
No one could really be promised the moon he thought as he moved his eyes back towards the picturesque scenery.
On the inside Mina was screaming at the big guy upstairs. Why? After going through all this emotional pain (and yes, she admitted to herself that she was finally falling for Kurama –– all of him) just to be told to walk away? It was stupid.
She became aware of the way the moonlight was having effect on Kurama’s skin. It was softer, more ivory-looking but at all together defined.
Admiration couldn’t justify what was stirring in that pulsating heart of hers. Instead of being traditionally struck by cupid’’s arrows on the first day, she was whacked with the hockey puck.
To a surprised (and rather flushed) Human Kitsune she rested against him; carefully listening out for a rise in his heartbeat. Not that it mattered because shallow breathing would be counted as a sign of him trying to manage his own feelings.
“So, how long do you have here?”
“About 2 or three months left. I wouldn’t sound too heavy hearted because I’ll dam well make sure that I move back here. I told my mother so.”
“#chuckles# well that’s pleasing news Mina. I thought you had enough of this place.”
“Naff off Baka, this is my home! I have everything I need here. My friends, my mother……”
“Me?”
A devious smirk emerged.
“Well………………I don’’t know……”
“You know I’’m an expert at persuasion my soon mate/wife to be”
“For the last time I’’m-”
Under the Indian-ink sky; the moon –– now green with envy as it glared down at the couple, exchanging affectionate kisses.

A/N: Right! Onto chapter 9! (back to Mina’’s POV) And have you noticed? No cliffy! Aren’t I nice for once? Read and review please!
