Chapter 25 - Across that line

Thursday

"Our first day together as a couple. How exciting," Eclipse laughs as she squeezes Takeshi's hand with hers. "I can't wait to meet all of your "friends", sweetie she leans over and kisses his lips before rushing forward and pulling Takeshi towards the school.

"Who the hell is she?" Ren grumbles as she stands by the side of the school, watching Takeshi and Eclipse. Jealousy, anger, and confusion fills her as she watches them.

"So… You're really lonely here aren't you?" Eclipse gives Takeshi an annoyed look as they sit and eat lunch.

"I prefer not to get close to people unless I choose to or it's needed," Takeshi looks at Eclipse then back at his food.

"Like us?" She smiles.

"Nope," he finishes his food.

"Well. Great," Eclipse lets out a long sigh. "I need to go to the ladies room. I'll meet you in class," she stands up and walks off.

"Girls are complicated," he puts his head on the table with a groan.

"Sorry about lunch. I shouldn't have taken it so personally. I mean, we did just meet the other day so I don't blame you. Eventually hopefully we become closer. Somehow," Eclipse sighs as her and Takeshi reach the Church.

"Good night. I'll see you tomorrow before school," Takeshi turns and walks back towards his house with Maiman trotting behind him.

"Why are girls, human girls, so annoying?" Takeshi grumbles as he lays on his bed.

"They're humans. It's what they are. It's what they live for," the girl with white hair from before sat at the end of his bed.

"Thanks Maiman. That's helpful. Completely and utterly helpful," he grumbles.

"You mean useless. That is the correct word for that, metaphor," she gives him a slightly confused smile.

"Sentence. It's best to just say sentence," he sighs and sits up.

"You have feelings for the human, don't you?" The words innocently leave Maiman's human mouth.

"Which one is what you need to specify," Takeshi sighs as he stands up.

"Ayame," she watches him.

"Who?" He gives her a confused look.

"Ren. Ren Ayame. That's who," she glares at him.

"No. I don't have feelings for anyone. That's how you get yourself killed. It's stupid and weak," he grumbles.

"You're implying our parents were weak and stupid?" She growls at him as she stands up.

"I'm stupid for never telling you when you cross the line but you just did it right there," he growls back before leaving his room and walking out of the house.
