Shirogane P.O.V
Eyes widen Okami just stared at the shorter boy before smiling "Ya know your my third most important person to me as well." He said stopping in his tracks. Shiro put his hand to his chest nearest to his heart and gasped "Third!?" putting his hand over his head dramatically "How could you?! I thought we were best friends" placing both hands over his face, squatted and pretended to cry. "God Kou-Chan stop being so overly dramatic." Okami said as he helped Shiro up to his feet. The two boys continued walking. Turning around to face Okami he pointed his finger to him and said "Wait Wait lemme guess" The silver haired boy said putting his hand on to his chin. "Hmm....First is your mother, then Izumi-San and then me?" He concluded with snapping his fingers and a short lived wink towards the taller darker haired male. "Am I right? Or am I right?" Okami let out a small chuckle and said "you know me way too well Kou-Chan." Swinging his arm over Shirogane's neck he continued "By the way do you have any idea where we are headed to?"
'I was six when my mother left me. I never realized it until I was twelve years old. Everyday my grandmother used to come home to look after me before going back to my grandfather who was sick in a hospital. I used to sit in front of the door waiting till my mother came home from work. I did this ever since I was three. It was really a hard habit to break. My grandmother used cook food for me while I did the rest of the house work. By the time I was 10 I knew to cook, clean, wash the laundry and the other household duties by myself.'
"Ahhh I almost forgot I have to go to the supermarket to get ingredients for dinner. " Shirogane said slapping his hand on to his forehead. Grabbing the other boy's hand making him stop Okami asked "Want me to accompany you? I don't have work to do for today and Izu-Chan had something to take care of, Mother and Father are out as well as Anee-San. She has a deadline coming by so she is stuck at her office. " Holding Shiro's hands which made him look like a child who was a frightened to sleep alone in his own room. Chuckling and patting Okami's head which made him look all the kiddish Shiro replied "If you wanna I guess. Al~so I'll need the extra help because there is a load of thing to buy." The shorter boy said with a small grin. "Yay!! Thanks Kou-Chan." Oikawa said pulling the other boy along. The main reason that I agreed was because you are afraid of being alone. *sigh* you dumb dumb. "Hey don't pull please."
'I still remember the last thing my mother said before she left me to my grandmother. Although it's quite hazy I could make up bits and pieces, "I'm so very sorry Kou. Mama loves you OK? Never forget that. That's why..." Is all I can make out. Few years later my Grandfather died of a heart attack. I was in my first game in KIS high school when that happened. I met Tomoe that day. Other than Daiken, Tomoe has been the my best friend and the one person who would listen to me no matter what I have in mind.'
"Kou-Channnnnnnn" Okami groaned. "How long will you taaaaaaaakkkkkkkkeeeeee" "Tomoe" Shirogane snapped "You were the one who wanted to come with me" Shiro said, in a threatening but tried his best to remain calm so that the other customers wouldn't get disturbed. "Stop whining. What is it? What do you want to buy?" He turned to Okami and held his hands as to calm him down. "hmm... Let's seeeeeee" The taller brown haired boy said putting his index finger on to his chin. "Get me some ice-cream. Even Gari-Gari kun would do." Okami said using his signature smile. Dramatically Shiro put both his hands on his face and pretended to cover a blushing face. Shrieking he said "Kyaaa~ Tomoe Senpai~~" imitating the high school girls who always look at Okami. "Hehe Is that all?" Opening his wallet he gave some money to Okami. "Yay thanks Kou-Chan. I'll get one for you too." Oikawa said prancing off to the ice-cream isle. Seriously though he acts like a toddler sometimes. The shorter height-ed boy thought to himself.
Shiro walked to the cash register and put the ingredients on to the super market's check out counter when a voice which belonged to 6 foot guy came said as he was putting out his things "Kou-Chan~ sorry it took a while~". As the two of them continued to put their stuff on the counter the cashier spoke "Good even- Oh my. why you two are so handsome." The middle aged cashier lady said waving her hand around. "Haha thank you." Shiro said in a flattered tone. "I mean of course we ar-" Okami was cut off with Shiro's elbow which was nudged onto his stomach. "Ouchie, Kou- Chan~" He said bending over onto his side. "Don't be rude Tomoe." Shiro said in his scary tone and smile. "Ok that will forty dollars. Thank you~ for shopping with us." The cashier said handing over their stuff. "You boys have a great night." She continued with a her business smile. "Thank you. You have a great evening too ma'am~" Okami replied to her.
'Some people say that the reason Tomoe is friendly, caring or listens his team mates, Izumi San or me rant is because he likes to listen to gossip or that he is super nosy. Well... those who say that, don't exactly know what Tomoe is actually like. They don't know that he a caring, loving and thoughtful friend who supports the people he loves. He may be a bit proud, arrogant and self centered at time which can be super annoying some times but that is just to cover up."
"Ahh~ some times I just love my job." Shiro and Okami over heard the cashier as they walked out of the super market. Laughing as they walked towards Shiro's house they were passing a small hill which had but a single lone tree. "You know that that hill was a known for its infinite amount of confessions that were made on it." Okami continued "Its a beautiful hill specially in spring time. Its a cherry blossom tree." Staring intensely at him, Shiro made Okami lose focus on what he was talking about. "What? Is there something on my face?" He asked the short silver haired boy. "No, Its nothing." Shiro said stopping. "I'm not looking at you its just that..." squinting his eyes and putting his full focus on the silhouette of a man standing on the hill. "Ahhh...Its nothing. WOW look at the time I best be going on home." Shiro said in a hurry. "Kou-Chan your scaring me." Okami said as he clenched the bags in his hand tightly. "Its nothing to be scared. Actually you should relieved." Shirogane said whisking the bags out of Tomoe's hand. "See ya tomorrow. Bye good night." and he was out of sight.
'I love Tomoe, but its not the kind of love that I have towards Daiken. Daiken's special, so is Tomoe. Tomoe is a big scary cat who puts others before himself. If we were in the Sengouku era (the Waring states period) Okami would join in just to look after his friends. He hates sharp objects but he'd be a killing machine. He's a best friend that anyone would dream of.'
'ping...ping....ping' Shiro's phone's notifications went off. Opening his gray phone cased mobile he noticed that there were quite a few messages from one single person. Although he knew how ridiculous he looked right now he still opened the chat. "ahh I have to stop doing this. If it wasn't for the darkness people would have thought I'm crazy or that I'm a some sort of pervert." Shiro said to himself as he read the messages that his crush sent to him. Knowing that he is blushing and squealing like a high school girl he slapped his face to calm down. In the message Daiken had asked if Shiro wasn't busy and if he could check to see if he had the KIS colored suit for the party. "Hm..... do I?" He asked himself. "Now that I think about it don't have any sort of formal wear, other than the black one that I wear to funerals." With a his courage and convincing himself he called Daiken. "Hey, bout the suit....I don't have one."
'At an early age I knew how rotten and ugly the world was. So I made up my mind no matter what happens I would never show my true emotions. I will never show anyone my vulnerable side.'
