Remember the Little Blue Daisy (Dengeki Daisy)

Ch 26 Cat and Mouse Pt 1

'Daisy, I really hate the rain. Something bad always happens and I end up feeling so angry and hurt people that. I get into... unnecessary fights... and I cause trouble for others. I can't find it in myself to apologize. How can I just stand there when someone attacks my family?'

I accidentally sent that text off before I finished and almost smashed my phone out of anger. I set my phone down out of my reach and cooled off before finishing my message to Daisy. I angrily grumbled under my breath as I pulled up Daisy's email again. With an exaggerated sigh of disdain, I started a new message.

'I hate this... 'rainy' side of myself. It's a raging monster that just wants to push everyone away in a self-destructive manner. I've always thought that could do that to punish myself. Most rainy days I spend away from Teru so she doesn't see this unsightly and cowardly side to me. I know she needs me but it hurts so much, Daisy.'

I sent the rest of my message to Daisy with a scoff. I couldn't even calm my anger while talking to Daisy so I should have stopped typing after my first message. My angry noises began to concern Teru. She looked up from her computer and gazed at me in concern but I chose to hide. I let my hair down to cover my eyes and hid most of my body under the blankets.

I don't want her to see the blood lust in my eyes. I want to fight someone to let off all this anxious energy building up. I need to get up and move but Teru will notice somethings wrong. That didn't seem to deter her because Teru ignored my cold nature and crawled over to me. She only stopped when she was laying on top of me.

"Are you okay, Aniki?", Teru asked in a gentle tone.

I simply hid further in the blankets so she began rubbing my shoulder. She does this every time it rains. She'd come over to me and ask if I was okay when it would start raining. She did it unprovoked but it will always make me happy. Her weight on top of me even calmed me down and my anger died out. I decided to answer her so I wiggled my body until my head's poking out of my blanket burrito.

"... Teru ? Did I really go too far today? She said so many hurtful things about you and Aniki. I... I couldn't help but see red. Daisy's going to hate me once this gets back to him.", I whispered and turned my head towards my pillow.

She laid across my body and sighed out her irritation but I could tell that she was thinking over my actions. I couldn't see it, but she must have her ugly thinking face on at the moment. I bet it's one of the uglier ones too from how obnoxiously she's groaning and rolling around like a pill bug.

I started to get annoyed by her squirming so I ripped my arms from the blanket grabbed her. Reversing our positions, I rolled her up in the blanket that I was just hiding in. She tried to struggle her way out but it's useless since I'm holding her captive. After giving up, she slumped on top of me with a sigh.

She groaned one last time before answering me, "A little, but you've always been protective of me. At least Kurosaki stopped you from blinding her so it didn't end as badly as it could have."

"I guess you're right.", I muttered as I hugged my sister like a body pillow.

This little pill bug stayed curled up in the blanket as we relaxed. I thought about how I should apologize to Kurosaki for throwing the ice pack at him. I know he had every right to be angry with me, but my pride as a delinquent is on the problem. Even when we know we fucked up, it feels shameful to admit it out loud. I grumbled about apologizing but eventually, I was convinced to apologize next time I see him.

In the next minute, my phone buzzed. I grabbed it and flipped it open to see that I got an email back from Daisy. I told Teru and she broke free from my hold and sprung up from her burrito wrap. She brat all but forced me to read the message aloud but I would soon regret giving in to her.
