Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dark eyes stared at the dorm room's door blankly. Then in confusion. Then in sheer irritation. What. The. Hell? Oh, Hikari, it probably would have been a good idea to look at who your roommate was when you were here earlier. But no. No. That was just toooo easy, wasn't it? Now you're screwed. Absolutely freakin' screwed. Whirling around, she opened her mouth and raised her index finger like she was about to shout something. It was probably something along the lines of 'why didn't you mention that we had to stay in the same room together?!'. With much more obscenities than that, of course. However, she snapped her mouth shut and settled for a sharp glare.

Turning swiftly, she flung open the door, stalking inside without much care whether Reizo followed or not. The urge to break something was nearly overwhelming. Fate. I hate you. I really, really, really hate you. You're a b***h, you know that? She stood in the middle of the room, one hand on her hip as she glared at the floor. Oh, how she wanted to cry at the moment... Or let out the frustration somehow. There wasn't time for that. And it wasn't the place. And it wasn't with the best person, either. Epic failure. Sighing, she mumbled something before flopping down on the floor. Knees pulled up under her, she cursed the world for all it was worth.

Which was nothing, of course. Hikari's chin dropped to her chest, fingers curled into fists as they rested on her thighs. Officially, the girl was miserable.

Frowning slightly as he touched her, she lifted an eyebrow. That couldn't be good. Close encounters were never good. And that look of his stirred up unnecessary emotions. Wait, he wasn't going to...? Ah, hell. As if she wasn't in enough pain and confusion already. What was adding another piece of torture? Once again, she found herself inwardly cursing anything and everything that had to do with fate, love, and emotions. Stupid life. Damned karma.

And when their lips met, Hikari almost relaxed. Almost. Until panic and logic slammed into her like a speeding bus. An erratic attempt at escaping ensued. Somehow, though her mind didn't register it, she escaped. And it wasn't graceful, either. In fact, she tried backing up and tripped over her own feet. Landing with a rather painful sounding thump, she let out a whine. Wincing, she gave him the 'why'd you do that for?' look. Her heart was racing and she could have died from embarrassment. Yes, she had had better days. "You moron, you almost stole heart again! You're mean! Very mean!" she sputtered, the back of her hand covering her lips. After a minute, she jabbed an accusing finger at him. "You! I'm not falling for it! Not again!"

Lies. Very convincing lies that she almost believed herself. After much debating, her mind decided to blame her flushed reaction on hormones, too. Anything to sooth her nerves. Something denied those concepts, but it was ignored. Finally, she settled on staring him down since her mind had, abruptly, ceased to function. Crap. Crap, crap, crap. I liiiiikkkkkeeeeddd thhaaattt. Shameeeee! Shammeeee!!! Those were the only thoughts that continued to repeat like a mantra in her head. Sighing, her stare softened to more of a incredibly confused gaze.

"Why? Why do that to me when you know for a fact that I still have feelings for you? I'm not even going to deny it. I still love you. A little bit. So don't even give me that 'I win' smirk. You haven't. And, are you trying to give me a heart attack? Cause let me tell ya, Reizo, you're doing a great job if that's your goal!"

[[Cute~ =w=]]

"No. I didn't think that. I hope you know that I'm pissed at you either way," she replied blandly, forcing herself to her feet to stand with one hand on her hip. So, what was he saying? The Alliance had dragged him off? It figured. Really. Now there was another thing to add to the epic she had named 'why I'm hate evil organizations'. Not that she would go against them or anything. Because to her that meant going against Reizo, and that was against her moral laws.

She scowled at what he said next. Read her like a book. He always had been perceptive, in a scary kind of way.

"No," Hikari muttered, her cheeks dusting a light pink. No, because someone like him couldn't care. No, because she had no reason to trust him. And, no, because she didn't trust herself. "What's it matter if I believe you or not?" Defensively her arms crossed. Her mind had decided to begin functioning again, at least. Sadly, that probably wasn't a good thing."You'll just leave again." Unconsciously she turned her back to him. That was right. The girl was positive the Alliance would find some ridiculous excuse to drag them apart. Separation had been painful the first time and she wasn't ready to go through it again.

"I don't have a reason to believe you anymore, love," she called softly, lowering her eyelids. "You're such a good actor that I can't tell what you mean and what you don't."

"I figured that something like that was going on..." was her nearly nonexistent answer. "That's why I came here in the first place. That and hoping that you'd be around." She shrugged, finally turning to face him again. What did it even matter if they were controlling the school? All it meant to her was that everyone was screwed over. Including herself. "Don't expect me to join them with out a fight," she sighed, hardly any force behind what she said. That phrase was somewhat nostalgic. Ha. See where saying it before had gotten her? 'Cause she was just sooo good at making plans. ... Not. A skeptical look flashed through her dark eyes briefly, but whatever the thought, it wasn't voiced.

"You have no idea how badly I want to believe that," she smiled sadly. Poor guy. He had such an upset look in his eyes. An incredibly believable one at that. Not. Falling. For... Ah, it wasn't like it mattered anymore. She'd give in to her heart for the night and blame it on exhaustion in the morning. Believable enough. That is, if she even remembered to say something about in the morning...Oh well.

In a matter of seconds she had closed the distance between them. There was one last weary, disbelieving look before she slipped her arms around his neck. "Fine. You have one more chance. Only one. Don't screw it up this time," she warned. Thin lips were pursed in a way that clearly stated she meant it. If he pulled something on her this time, she was gonna unleash Hades on anyone she could get her hands on. Except Adeline...And maybe Jessica. They had been nice to her, so no punishment needed to be inflicted.

She muttered something unintelligible. Though garbled, it kind of sounded like "I like you better when you're honest." Why? This Reizo was the one that she remembered. The one that only she had the privilege of knowing. The one that she had begrudgingly fallen in love with. To think the first time they had met she had had to talk - rather argue - him into getting out of a tree and into her old school. She had been a little afraid of him back then. Actually, little was an understatement. And then they met up again only to argue with each other. What kind of relationship was that?

Apparently, one that Hikari loved.
