My Sweet Roomies Re - Written ( Raika Ikagami Route)

Chapter 3 - A Woman of Mystery

Several days pass....

I still haven't gotten used to life in a Share - House or a Girls Dorm if you want to be technical , it's probably the fact that i've living alone since i was 7 , anyway i been busy with college and to earn my keep i have to work part time , in almost any job i can manage to grab...

One day while cleaning the table after supper....

"Oh,Mina..That plate goes in this cupboard.." said Reimako while washing the dishes..

"Hm ? This one ?"

"And could you put the butcher knife over here ?"

"O-Okay ."

In a fluster , i put away the dishes where i'm instructed...

"Mina !" called Miyoko

"Yes , W-what is it ?"

"You left your clothes on the line again ..."

"Ahh ! i completely forgot , sorry i'll get them down now..."

"I'll take care of the rest of the dishes."

"Thanks Reimako , appreciated .."

*Patter -patter - patter*

"Oh! Mina ..."

On the outside to the clothes line i bump into Tegemi...

"Is that a new fashion ? , or you're wearing you clothes inside out ?"

"Huh ?"( well this is unusual..)

"Hmmn , Earth to Mina ? Come back to earth will you .."

"S-sorry..."

(I....i can't do this...living alone is a big thing but living with 6 girls , careful of my every move..communal living  will be the death of me...)

That night , I sit hunched over a desk in the living room...

My mind is full of how awkward communal living is for me..

"Mina ! are you okay ?!"

"JESUS FREAKING CHRIST !!"

Raika sudden appearance in my filled of vision startled me ...

"Hahahaha ..."

Raika sat back across of me giggling that she almost gave me a heart attack

"Christ ! Raika , don't do that..." ( my heart almost jump out my mouth..)

"You looks really , exhausted is everything okay ?"

"I..I'm hanging in there....i guess..."

"Hmn...don't be so stiff just relax , okay ?"

She said while tilting her head ever so slightly panning her brown hair from her ear...Looking straight me with her dark blue colored eyes , she's wearing blue sando blouse , slightly revealing her well endowed chest... 

(Wow...why did i just notice this? now..s-she's gorgeous...)

 "O-okay.."

"Come on..."

*Wisp*

She suddenly rubs my head..

"Stop worrying and just have fun living here.."

"We are all family here , Mina..."

"Y-yeah.."

"And you don't have to be so formal with me either..."

"I'm only a year older , just treat me the same way you do to Miyoko.."

"I can also help you, if there's anything you need.."

"Oh....Thank you.."

(Raika...you sure are sweet , except for the fact you can break my every bone like a twig and throw me 15 feet off the ground except those scary facts...you sure are sweet..)

Then she whisks herself away from me...

"Good. Now that you're feeling a bit better i can go off to work."

"Huh ? To work ? (come to think of it what does she do...)

"Yep, I won't be home till morning..."

"Till morning ?" (apparently she works at night shift , she took a year off to college so she can work..But she never mentioned what kind of work she does...)

"Well then, i'd better go.."

Unable to control my curiosity i ask out of impulse..

"Uhm...Raika ? if you don't mind me asking , what kind of work are you in ?"

"Huh ?"

"Weellll , how should i put this..."

Raika's eyes wander as she grins childishly..  

".....It's a secret."

She says while placing her index finger to her lips

"Owwkeyy..."

"Yes , besides why does it matter what i do for a living ?"

"Huh ? , Oh i guess it doesn't matter..."

(But...if something she has to keep it a secret ...does that mean she's doing something....illegal ? No.. probably not..)

"Well , i'll see you tomorrow...

"See yah.."

*Clunk*

As i fumble in my thoughts , Raika leaves the living room..

(She sure is a mystery...)

I've been living here for almost a month now..but Raika doesn't talk about herself much..

(I'd sure like to have a chance to talk with her more , while i'm still here...)
