Why Her?

Chapter 20

"Hey Shai"
"Hi Shai"
"Shai what's up?"
Shai only smiled a little when she walked beside Himeko. Himeko only looked at Shai seeing her nervous expression
Why is she so nervous? It's a little annoying but...cute
"What will make you stop shaking?" Himeko asked as she looked at her
"S-sorry if I'm b-bothering you" Shai said
"No you're not. It's just...I just want to understand why you're acting like this. During a fight you seem more confident and strong but right now...you seem shy and nervous. Is it because of me?" Himeko asked
"Wh-what? Because of you?" Shai asked. Himeko stopped and made Shai face her
"Do I make you nervous?" Himeko asked as she looked at her directly in her eyes. Shai stared at her dark violet eyes and gulped. Her heart skipped a beat and blushed deeply
M-my heart...is g-going crazy
Himeko couldn't help but stare at her lips and blushed remembering the kiss. She pushed her away and looked away
"L-let's just keep walking" Himeko said
"U-uhm...were you going to kiss me?" Shai asked
"Wh-what?" Himeko asked as her face redden
"It l-looked like you wanted to kiss me" Shai said
"Wh-what makes you say that?" Himeko asked
"I-I don't know it just seemed l-like...you wanted me to kiss you" Shai said
"That's nonsense" Himeko said
"Uhm...then what do you say about the kiss I gave you?" Shai asked
"Wh-what? That doesn't count as a k-kiss" Himeko said
"But our lips touched...right? Doesn't that count as a k-kiss?" Shai asked
"N-no! A kiss should be romantic and lovingly" Himeko said
"So...you want a kiss from a prince charming?" Shai asked
"W-well kinda like that but not really. Anyways why are we talking about this? Is it because you want to kiss me?" Himeko asked
"E-eh!? N-no! No! N-nothing like that...I-I was just curious. Th-that's all..." Shai said
"Fine" Himeko said. Shai took Himeko someplace where they could eat together. Himeko and Shai arrived at the cafe where they served pastries and beverages
"Do you like this place?" Himeko asked
"Well...this place makes me calm down a bit. I don't know..." Shai said and looked at her
"What?" Himeko asked
"D-do you want to go here?" Shai asked
"Sure" Himeko said. Shai opened the door for her and Himeko stepped inside
"Thanks" Himeko said
"Y-you're welcome princess" Shai said and followed her inside. Himeko and Shai sat down then ordered their food and drink
"So...why is this place make you comfortable?" Himeko asked
"Well...it just helps me stay in control and no go...crazy" Shai said as she looked at her hands
"You mean crazy like your father?" Himeko asked
"Y-yeah something like that. My father may seem nice but...he is a little bit crazy. I ended up being born with it...and whenever I use my powers...uhm...she sorta speaks to me" Shai said as she giggled nervously
"Huh? Who?" Himeko asked
"Th-this may sound crazy but...I uh...have a little voice in my head. It tells me things that I don't want to listen..." Shai said
"Really?" Himeko asked quite confused
A voice inside her head? Is she a psycho type?
"Hehe yeah. You could say I have some kinda split personality. During fights...I can get somewhat out of control and attack whoever moves. It's a good power but...it can be dangerous. If I lose control then...who knows what she might do" Shai said
"She? Or you?" Himeko asked
"U-uhm...I call her she since she is my other me but I guess I can call her me since she is me" Shai said
"This is just confusing me..." Himeko said
"Oh sorry. I-I really don't know how to explain it" Shai said
"Can you...reveal her to me?" Himeko asked
"Do you want to get hurt?" Shai asked
"N-no but...can't you reveal her or your other you" Himeko said
"No. I have to be in control...before she hurts someone I care about" Shai said
"Have you ever harmed someone you cared about?" Himeko asked
"...once" Shai said
Flashback
"Hm? Hinria what are you doing here?" Shai asked
"I was looking for you" Hinria said
"M-me? What for?" Shai asked
"I-it's just that...there is something I must tell you" Hinria said
"What is it?" Shai asked
"M-mind following me outside" Hinria said
"Sure" Shai said and followed Hinria. Hinria walked out of the castle along with Shai. Hinria stopped and turned around to look at Shai
"U-uhm...the r-reason I brought you out here is because. I-I like you Shai! I want to be with you and become your mate! Please! Accept my feelings!" Hinria said as she kept her head down and blushed deeply. Shai only looked at her and looked down
"Uh...Hinria" Shai said
"Y-yes?" Hinria asked
"I'm s-sorry..." Shai said
"Wh-what?" Hinria asked
"I-I don't think I can...accept your feelings" Shai said as she looked away
"Why not?" Hinria asked
"I-it's because...I-I just can't okay? Besides...it's dangerous" Shai said
"Why is it dangerous?" Hinria asked
"L-look...it's complicated okay? And I don't want to end up hurting you so...let's just stay as friends" Shai said
"B-but...I thought you liked me back? You would always act nervous around me" Hinria said
"B-because it's just the way I-I act around others okay? Now if you'll excuse me...I-I need to go" Shai said as she tried escaping but Hinria grabbed her arm
"Wh-why though? Am I not good enough or what?" Hinria asked
"U-uhm...it's not that b-but please let me go" Shai whimpered as she looked away
"Shai! Please accept my feelings! I really do love you!" Hinria said
"H-hinria...let g-go...please..." Shai said as she kept looking away
"But why?! What's the reason fo-" Shai got out of her grip and grabbed Hinria by her neck. Hinria trembled and Shai looked at her coldly
"Stop annoying me alright? I can't stand your fucking annoying voice...so just shut up...and leave me alone. Want to know why? Because I don't fucking love you. There's your answer bitch..." Shai said before relaxing her. Hinria coughed as she held her neck. She trembled and looked up at Shai. Shai only turned her back on her and walked away
"And don't say a word about this...unless you want to die" Shai said before leaving Hinria alone. Hinria teared up and panted heavily as she kept holding her neck
'Sh-shai...is that r-really you?'
End Of Flashback
"I didn't mean to hurt her like that..." Shai said
"Here are your drinks and pastries" The waiter said as she set the tray down
"Thanks" Shai said as she smiled
"Thanks" Himeko said
"You're welcome. Have a nice day" The waiter said and left. Himeko looked at her tea and took a small sip of it
Sweet
"Is it good?" Shai asked
"It taste amazing. It might be even better than the tea I make" Himeko said
"Heh you should try the pastries. They taste amazing" Shai said. Himeko reached out to grab a piece. She took a bite of the pastry and her ears perked up while her tail wagged rapidly
Strawberries...
"Hehe I see you like it" Shai giggled
"I-it's amazing!" Himeko said and took a bite of the pastry
"Mmmmm~" Himeko said and smiled softly. Shai smiled a little and stood up as she leaned close towards Himeko. Himeko's eyes widen for a moment and closed them as Shai leaned closer then licked off the strawberry cream beside her lip. Himeko gulped and blushed deeply
Sh-she...just...
"U-uhm Shai?" Himeko asked. Shai's eyes widen and sat back down with a flustered face
"I-I'm really sorry about th-that. I-I didn't mean to..." Shai whimpered and pinned her ears down
"I-it's okay. I-I didn't mind" Himeko said as she blushed deeply
"Y-you sure?" Shai asked
"Y-yes. I-it...was n-nice" Himeko said
"Eh? You liked it?" Shai asked
"N-no! I didn't like it!" Himeko said as her face was completely flustered
"Hehe okay" Shai said as she smiled
She...is really cute

The waiter trembled slightly as she served the couple their meal
"E-enjoy your meal princess" The waiter said as she bowed down and left
"Thanks..." The couple replied coldly while glaring at each other. Everyone around them trembled as they felt their negative aura. Yuzu and Mei kept glaring at each other with their cold eyes. Yuzu's ear twitched slightly and gritted her teeth a bit
Why the hell did father reserve this place for us? I mean...I am hungry but I want to eat in peace...not with this bitch
Mei sighed and picked up her drink taking a small sip
She seems mad...
"So how are you...Aihara?" Yuzu asked
"I'm good but it seems like you're not having a good time" Mei said
"Of course I'm not..." Yuzu said and took a bite of her spicy food
"I see you enjoy eating spicy food" Mei said
"Yes. I need to eat spicy food so my powers can get stronger. The more spicy the stronger the flame" Yuzu said
"Oh I understand. Is your power controlled by your emotions?" Mei asked
"Heh...yeah. When I was a kid it kinda went out of control since I didn't know how to use it or what was going on" Yuzu said
"Have you ever hurt anyone on accident?" Mei asked and took a bite of her food
"Once...she was my friend when I was a kid. It's kinda all my fault she got hurt like that..." Yuzu said as she pinned her ears down
"Hm? A friend? Phila?" Mei asked
"What? No...it's someone that I met back when I was little. She was my closet friend and I...always played with her" Yuzu said
"Sorry for bringing this up..." Mei said
"No it's fine. Besides....you have to know more about me right?" Yuzu said and took a sip of her drink
"Yes...I know" Mei said
Since we're mates...
"Are you ready for tomorrow?" Yuzu asked
"Not really...I'm slightly nervous" Mei said
"Why?" Yuzu asked
"I-I don't know. I'm just nervous...that's all" Mei said
"Heh...because you love me?" Yuzu asked
"Shut up..." Mei said. Yuzu giggled softly and stared at Mei lovingly
"I know love me" Yuzu said. Mei growled softly as she looked away
"No I don't" Mei said as she blushed
"Why are you blushing?" Yuzu asked
"I-I'm not blushing" Mei said as she trembled a little. Yuzu giggled and looked at her hand then reached out to hold it. Mei jumped and pulled her hand away in an instant
"We're mates" Yuzu said
"You really like teasing me...don't you?" Mei asked
"Maybe" Yuzu giggled and jumped as she felt Mei's foot rub against her leg
"D-don't do that!" Yuzu said as she pulled her leg back and blushed
"Now you're the one blushing" Mei said
"Shut up kitty" Yuzu said
"Make me puppy" Mei said and winked at her. Yuzu's face redden and she looked away as she tried covering her blush
This fucking bitch...argh! Why am I blushing!?
"Awww look at the cute couple getting along" Nitski giggled
"What the hell are you doing here?" Yuzu asked
"Just thought I should check up on you" Nitski said
"We're doing just fine. You may now leave" Mei said
"You two are so madly in love? Hahaha I see. I'll leave the two of you alone" Nitski said and walked away
"Ugh...she's so annoying" Yuzu said
"I can tell..." Mei said and took a bite of her food. Yuzu looked at Mei and looked at her ears
Whenever I touch them...she shakes and moans a little. Hm? Maybe her tail is sensitive too...if we were mating then-
Yuzu's ears perked and blushed deeply while her tail started wagging
"Yuzu?" Mei asked
"N-nothing!" Yuzu said and got out of her seat
"I-I just need to use the restroom. I-I'll be r-right back!" Yuzu said and left. She went to the restroom and trembled as she shook her head
What the hell was I fucking thinking?!
