Chapter 56 - Baka!

"YOU. WILL-"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I heard The door open quietly, I then heard someone's voice in the background and saw the Umbreon on top of me thrown off me. I gained enough control to speak. I then realised what was happening. "YOU. WILL-" I cut Hikari off. "Hi...Kari..." I said barely above a whisper. He then turned to face me with a hysterical look on his face. "Hailey...?" Hikari asked me in shock. "Lets... Just go... Please..." I pleaded to Hikari. "...Fine..." He said as he tossed Dāku who had just taken advantage of me to the side like a rag doll and picked me up gracefully. "Lets get you home... Okay?" He assured me. "Mhm" I replied as I fell asleep within seconds.

I finally felt safe.

I heard Hikari say something after what felt like a few seconds. "....ey....ar....e...?" He whispered. After focusing on his voice for a bit I was finally able to understand what he was saying. "Hey... Can you hear me?" Hikari asked me. "Mmm" I replied as I felt Hikari next to me. I then nuzzled my head against a warm feeling pillow. "Are you hurt anywhere?" He asked me. I then opened my eyes to realize that I was in Hikari's embrace. I instantly blushed a light shade of pink. "H-HI-KARI?!" I shouted in surprise as I wriggled my way out of his embrace. "WHY WAS I ON YOU?!" I shouted at him in embarrassment. "O-oh... T-that..." Hikari said bashfully. "I uh... didn't want to wake you... B-because you were... Sleeping." Hikari explained to me. "O-oh..." I replied. I didn't know how to react to this. And that look on his face! "Gosh stop acting so cute!" I said without realising that I said my thought out loud "Pfft!" Hikari tried to hold in a laugh but couldn't help it and started laughing. "Hahahahahahaha!" He laughed at me. "B-BAKA!" I yelled out while turning my back away from him and pouting. Wait... Did I just say Baka?! What am I? Some tsundere main character from a cheesy romance novel where I can't realise that I like the main male lead?! N-no! Of course not... (mmmmmaaaaaaayyyyyyybbbbbbbbeeeeee ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )

"Did you just call me cute?" Hikari asked me. "I- N-no!" I instantly denied without turning to face him. He then picked me up and made me face him. " Did... You... Call.... Me... Cute?" Hikari asked me without any trace of embarrassment or anything but seriousness. I didn't know what to say! How does one react to this! Oh no! He's too hot!! (>~<)

"Uh! Okay-fine-I-said-you-looked-cute!!" I spat the truth out bashfully while covering my face with my paws and tail.
