Misunderstanding

Chapter 5
Leah’s POV
Those eyes…those cold, heartless eyes that no longer hold a single trace of humanity and human emotion within them.

But how?
How does he know I’m here? Its been years since then hasn’t it?

WHY??
Haven’t you already taken what you wanted? Haven’t I paid my price? What more do I owe you? What more do I have to give? Haven’t you already taken everything that was mine? What more do you want?

Sadness, hatred…all those emotions were flowing through my body at an insanely high intensity.

Heh, guess that’s what they call nostalgia.

Suddenly…it struck me…I’m tired of this…so tired…I no longer want any part of this…I’ve lost everything and I’m not about to let you take any more.

As if they suddenly had a life of their own, my hands lifted themselves up from the ground and reached for his coat’s lapel.

Slowly but forcefully, I pull him down to within centimeters of my face.


“This time, you die punk.”


With all my strength focused on my hands, I lifted him up slightly and flung him into the brick wall on my far left.

I for one knew that THAT wasn’t enough to finish him off.
With that I got up and arranged myself into a defensive pose.

Mori’s POV

So…they’re emerald…eh?
For some odd reason…she looks…vengeful
And I swear I saw something flitting pass her eyes

I blink in surprise at the intensity of her emotion.

I looked back at her once again…hoping to find out more, only to find her bangs casting a shadow upon her eyes.

I feel a cold chill run down my spine.

What is this?
Suddenly, I feel a forceful tug on my coat lapel. I looked down only to find her hands gripping my collar…slowly but forcefully, she pulled me so close, that I could hear her heavy breathing. It was then that it suddenly struck me…the position that we were in was a little…awkward.

I mean…the first thing you’d expect to see once you wake up is normally the sight of your ceiling or the sky in this case, not someone looking straight at you, their faces barely an inch away…I’d even add some plus points for looking like I’m advancing on her.

I was about to apologize for what seems like bad intentions on my part, but stopped short when she looked up at me. I swear I saw a glint of light pass through her eyes…just like somebody I know…

“ This time, you die punk,” she said viciously before she flung me to my right. I could tell that she exerted quite the amount of strength on this move…but still…I’m impressed.

I wonder if she suffers from high blood pressure like Kyouya? I mean, that would explain the I-So-Want-You-To-Die-So-Die-Now look on her face, and not to forget, the crème de la crème of the situation..the part where she flings me.

She’s the first person other than Mitsukuni of course, who’ve ever been able to do this to me.

Who would’ve thought that this would happen? That I, Takashi Morinozuka, Japan’s No.1 Kendo practitioner could be defeated by a mere girl? Now THAT’S not what you see everyday…well for me at least...

Hmm, speaking of which…WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING THINKING OF THE IMPOSSIBLE –WHICH SOMEHOW BY A SUDDEN TWIST OF FATE BECAME POSSIBLE- WHEN IM 2 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND FLYING ACROSS THE SCHOOL GARDENTOWARDS THAT LARGE AND HEFTY LOOKING BRICK WALL?!?!

Wait…brick…wa-?

I hit the wall like…a sack of bricks. And GOD did that hurt. I would’ve yelled out loud but as usual…I kept the pain to myself.

After all…I am THE Takashi Morinozuka. And THAT simply does not suit my personality.

I slowly pick myself up from the ground and arrange myself in a half sitting half lying position, making sure that I didn’t break anything from that little I-hit-the-bloody-BRICK-wall incident. Oh and by the way, let me make this crystal clear…I. AM. HUMAN. !!!!!!!!!!!!!

After making sure that I was still in one piece, (HALLELUJAH!!) I take my time getting up. I looked around…eyes scanning the area for any sight of her.

She was still by the tree, only thing is she finally got up and is currently positioned in a defensive pose. Hands balled up in fists positioned right in front of her and her legs slightly parted and to sum it all up…she’s put on a poker face…

Is it just me or is that so called poker face…cute?

Nah, must’ve been all that sugar that I’ve been taking. Plus, I’m the only one here besides her. Note to self, next time Mitsukuni offers you cake…just turn the offer down politely.
Her fists tighten. Seems like she’s someone who doesn’t trust people easily. I wonder how I came to that conclusion?

“Excuse me miss, I’m sorry but I didn’t mean to give you a scare earlier,” I said, putting on my usual stoic face. But on the inside… PLEASE IM SORRY I DIDN’T MEAN TO DO THAT, ITS JUST I WASN’T MYSELF EARLIER…OH I KNEW I SOULDN’T HAVE TAKEN THAT STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE!!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~

What came next was highly unexpected. It was as if my prayers were suddenly answered…

A look of shock crossed her face. It was as if she just woke up from a dream…a horrible nightmare. She dropped her defensive pose and stood gaping at me.

But what happened next was TRULY the real deal…
‘I’M SO SORRY!!! I DIDN’T MEAN TO DO THAT TO YOU. ARE YOU HURT?
DO YOU NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL? OH GOD, IF AUNT ELLIE EVER FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS I’D FIND MYSLF BEING SHISHKEBABBED IN NO MORE THAN A MINUTE! PLEASE SAY YOU’RE ALRIGHT!” she suddenly shot. She spoke so fast that I had difficulty keeping up with her with my mediocre command of the English language. When I finally comprehended, I steadily faded into what could only be-a state of shock. Wow , who knew someone so murderous a moment ago could take a 180 degree turn and panic the next…now THAT was highly unexpected.

I suddenly feel myself being shaken…HARD!!! Looking down, I saw her gripping my arms, repeatedly asking me if I’m alright.

Wait…I thought she was all the way there just a moment ago…how’d she manage to run all the way here in just a minute? Oh forget about it…better that than risk getting a headache thinking bout it later.

“I’m alright. No injuries,” I replied.
She stopped her life threatening momentum to look at me.

“ Thank goodness. Are you really sure?” she asked once again, eyes narrowing in suspicion.
“Yea,” I was tempted to tell her the truth about my physical state just to see her panic again. Who could blame me? She was cute when she was frantic.

A look of relief crossed her features as she released me, hands dropping to her sides, shoulders relaxing.

“ Well then, I’m glad. Really sorry bout earlier though. Its just…I just mistook you for someone else…is all,” she said suddenly switching to Japanese.

Wow, her Japanese is pretty impressive for a foreigner. No sign of any other accents.

She smiled up at me. I…grinned? What on earth is wrong with me? I swear…if its to blame its, all that sugar that I’ve been wolfing down lately.

“ By the way, I’m Leah. Leah Quinn. You are?”
“Morinozuka. Morinozuka Takashi,” I replied.
“ Well fancy meeting you Mr.Morinozuka,”
“Call me Mori,” I said. Why won’t this smile go away?
“ Mori then,” her smile grew bigger.
Her gaze shifted from me to her watch. At that, her eyes widened.

“Dear me, look at the time! I really must get going or I’ll be late. Didn’t know that I dozed of for that long a time. Sorry to be a bother but can you point me the way out? I’ve been trying to find my way out but…ehehehe I kinda failed at the attempt,” she seemed rather sheepish.

I mentally laughed at her remark.

‘Go straight from here and you’ll see a large fountain up ahead. The entrance is just opposite the fountain,” I instructed.

She smiled once again.

“Thanks.”

I watched her figure as she walked off…just as she was about to turn round the corner, she turned around and called out to me.

“Hey, Mori?!”
“Yea?”
“See ya around,”

With one last smile and a wave she continued her journey.

“Interesting.”

That said, I continued my walk to the Third Music Room. Hope I’m not too late…else Kyouya would give me ‘The Stare’. Even then, I guess you could say that my life has just gotten a whole lot more interesting.

Perhaps being late today is worth getting ‘The Stare’.

I stood in front of the large wooden doors that led to the Third Music Room, hand on the handle, smile plastered on my face…with only one thing in mind.


Strawberry Cake.
