jealousy

3rd person pov

Iku was hating this feeling she got in her chest it felt like pins and needles were struck into her heart whenever she saw watanuki and himawari together she was jealous

Iku's pov

I hate feeling this way 'why can't this feeling just go away' I thought to myself clenching my fist where my heart was 'this feeling of pure jealousy is terrible' I thought to myself

"Hey iku you went quiet are you ok?" Himawari said "yeah I'm fine" I said with a fake smile on my face 'why do I have to feel like this' I thought to myself

'I hate this feeling' I thought to myself as I clenched my fists tightly 'he obviously likes himawari there's no way he would go for someone like me' I thought to myself

After school...

I was walking home with watanuki "Hey niwa-san?" He said but I didn't hear him "niwa-san" he said again "iku" he said finally getting me to snap out of my daze

"Huh" I said as I looked at him "you walked past the store we're getting you a new pair of chopsticks remember" watanuki said

"Oh yeah sorry I got distracted" I said he touched my forehead this caused my eyes to widen in shock "you don't seem to have a fever" watanuki said

"Come on let's go" he said dragging me into the supermarket I looked down at his hand holding mine and I blushed slightly

"Hm there are a lot of choices for chopsticks" he said mumbling to himself "which pair of chopsticks do you want" he asked

I looked and saw ones with a cherry blossom pattern "those ones" I said pointing at them "those ones ok I'll get them" watanuki said

'It still hurts even though himawari isn't here it still hurts to think about him with someone else' I thought to myself dreading

"This is the pair of chopsticks that you wanted right" watanuki said but at this point I was already in my own little world

Watanuki's pov

She's distracted again "niwa-san" I said then sighed "iku" I said as she looked up from her dazed state "huh" she said I sighed

"Are you feeling well maybe you shouldn't come to school tomorrow you do seem a little distracted" I said "no I'm ok" she said

After I had paid for her new chopsticks she went off into lala land 'what is she thinking about that's got her so deep in thought' I thought to myself

"Iku" I heard and saw someone smack the back of her head "ow ow ow ow ai-chan what was that for" iku said rubbing her head in pain

"Baka did you really forget that it was hikari's birthday tomorrow don't forget to wish her a happy birthday" the strange girl said

"Airi was the slap to the head really necessary" iku said "yes otherwise you wouldn't have noticed me" this girl Airi said "Your so mean" iku said "shut up" Airi said

Airi looks at me then looks away walking away "who was that?" I asked "another one of my cousins her name is Airi tokita" iku said

"Hm" I hummed and dragged her back to her house "I guess I should get going" I said she grabbed my sleeve "don't you want to come inside" she is

"I really shouldn't" I said "My parents are probably at work you can come in for awhile until they get here" she said I am curious what the inside of her house looks like

"Aaaah" she screamed seeing her bag move "what the heck" iku said dropping her school bag then a little bunny rabbit popped out of her bag

"Wiz you silly little thing you almost gave me a heart attack" iku said picking up the rabbit and putting him on her shoulder

"Is that a rabbit?" I asked confused "this is Wiz he is a rabbit but he's very mischievous when he wants to be" iku said

'Looks strange not like any rabbit I've seen' I thought to myself "Well I'm going to get going" I said "oh ok" she said sounding disappointed

'Why is she smiling like that why is she putting on a fake smile' I thought to myself "I'll pick you up for school tomorrow" I said "ok" she said

I left her house and went to yuko's shop "you certainly took your time coming here watanuki" mokona said "I was busy" I said

"Busy with what" yuko said "was it walking that dreamwalker home" mokona said "dreamwalker is that an important thing" I said

"A dreamwalker is an Astral figure they can go into dreams and get visions of the future, present and past" yuko said smoking her kiseru as she blew out a puff of smoke

"but if something like their personal feelings get into the mix they end up getting chased by their own shadows" yuko said

"Chased by their own shadows" I said "if nothing changes with this current role she most likely will experience a horrendous thing" yuko said

"Y.you mean" I said as my eyes widened in fear "if she doesn't stop bottling up her emotions she will eventually be swallowed up by her own shadows" yuko said

"What no but that's...tell me what is it that's bothering her you know exactly what it is Don't you" I said looking at yuko

"In this case any number of peculiar things could be bothering her but in this case I'd say it's unrequited love" yuko said "Unrequited love does that mean she wants to confess to the person she likes"

I said "you really are oblivious" yuko said I got annoyed by that comment "what's that supposed to mean yuko side glanced me "you are dumb" she said

"What" I said annoyed "watanuki is dumb" the twins said "will you knock it off already" I said annoyed 'obviously they must know something I don't' I thought to myself and sighed heavily to myself
