Maid vs Host

hiko blinked looking from the now not smiling sayuri to him and he took a deep breath "kim?" he said as if he needed an explaination

"what?!?!?!" she said in defense and he rolled his eyes

"so hows your music been coming?" she said and he winced "eeehh... by music you mean..."

"PIANO!!! AKIHIKO ACAR!" she scolded and he groaned

"you summer assignment was to learn the piano!!! have you even started!!!" she said and he sighed "ill learn it this weekend" he said as if it was no big deal

"your professor is going to be pissed aki! i dont think even you can pull that out of your ass that quickly. just cause your a fantastic cellist doesnt mean anything." she said and he glared at her "hey!" he said in an angry tone and she bit down on her straw. it was obvious she hit a raw subject

she sighed "i mean. he isnt going to go easy on your just cause your really good at the cello" he said and he scoffed at her and looked to sayuri

"sayuri-chan. do you like music?" he asked her with a warm smile ignoring kim

Hiru grinned smartly raising a brow, “ the great panda girl missed something?” he asked in mock surprise before laughing.

“ don’t worry Chi… what is a boy friend for if he cant light them him self?”

Smiling and humming lightly he took off out the back and started to light the lamps quickly.

The job took no time seeing as Hiru could reach the lamps were Chi usually had to work at it.

Looking about Hiru felt accomplished…he helped do all of this… he did something, not Hiru paid some one to complete the task.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Marii took a deep breath to calm her self and smiled, " sure if Ryo is it." she said getting up and winking at Ryo.

Marii had no intention to really hide... he was going to go look for Yura first, they did need to keep an eye on her.

" no peeking Ryo" she giggled as she half jogged to a thick tree and sat behind it watching Yura as not to loose sight of her.

chi smiled her blush hidden under her arm at the mention of a boyfriend. when he was finished she was still on her back but her arm had slipped off her face. she was half asleep. chi sighed thinking about how lovely a hot spring vacation would be... but she had to wait till christmas before she could go anyway.

she groaned and opened her eyes looking up at hiru "i need a shower.." she grumbeld sitting up. she rubbed her head and yawned stretching before getting to her feet

"then ill make dinner. ok?" she said with a tired smile. she latched her hand in his leading him back to the house

she stopped and let go of his hand walking into the bathroom and shutting the door behind herself. after she got out of a hot and steamy shower she rapped a towel around herself and somehow ended up on the floor. she was leaned against the sink her eyes heavy and her muscles aching. she truely had done a number on herself today. with all that bending over and running. she felt her eyes start to close even when the door was being knocked on. still she drifted off to sleep int eh steam filled room

Cello, had she expected that one she wouldn’t have looked so surprised. The Cello was such a low sounding deep instrument she hardly expected it. She took him for a more quick and bubbly instrument. Sayuri smiled, happy to find out something new. “I love music, but I’ve never been much of a musician.” She said and a quick image of her as a kid and her mother trying to teach her piano. “I mean, I tried piano but the extent of that knowledge was knowing what sounds the keys make.” She laughed feeling a bit stupid. Though she couldn’t play an instrument to save her life, she was interested in classical music. Hearing Hiko play something, anything would be interesting. “I’d love to hear you play sometime Hiko-san.” She said and blushed slightly at how excited she sounded. “Um-that is-if it’s okay with you..” She said and sipped her drink to hide how awkward she felt. Was Kim into music as well? She thought about it a moment. Just another thing the two most likely shared in common.
~~~
Ryo sighed trying to keep his sights on Yura but Marii kept catching his attention. He made himself focus and he caught a glimpse of Yura diving behind a bench, not knowing her whole lower torso was exposed as she ducked in hiding. He counted aloud, his face buried in his arm and when he was done he called out a “Ready, or not here I come.” He walked past the bench, grinning when Yura giggled loudly. “Where could Yura be?” He said, tapping his lip carefully. “Hmmm…” He slipped over to the tree and slipped around it, leaning against the side. “Found you.” He said then smiled when he saw she had a clear view of Yura.. “She’s hyperactive but she’s a good kid.” He looked back at her. “Thanks, you didn’t have to put up with her.”He said and sighed. “Sorry if this ruined lunch but I plan to make it up to you.” He said this but he was glad he got to see this side of Marii.

"ofcourse sayuri-chan. i will play you a love sonnet." he said with a flurtatious smile and kim rolled her eyes letting out a cough

"aki... im really tired. do you think you could take the rest of the day off and take me home? i think i feel ill from that plane ride" she whimpered and he turned to her touching her forehead lightly "hm... you dont feel like you have a fever.." he said and she blinked her eyes

"the best way to tell is to put ur face against the patients." she said and he leaned forwar dputting his cheek against hers

"no no fever kimmy bear. but alright ill take you home, sayuri-chan ill come by after your shift to walk you home ok?" he said with a smile

"unless you would like to hang out with me and kim after work" he said with excitement in his eyes. he pictured monopoly or clue. kims eyes burned with hate towards sayuri. she was planning on seducing hiko and sayuri just kept getting in the way.

Hiru waited a long while… he had planed on stepping in to take a quick shower while she made dinner…

Hiru got a little worried after a while… she had been in there a long time…

Knocking on the door Hiru called out, “ hey… Chi…Chi~chan… are you okay?”, no answer…

Hiru finally just opened the door letting the wall of steam hit him as he ventured into the room, “ chi?” he called out as he opened the second screen only to find her prostrate on the gowned.

He rushed to her side “CHI are.. Are you alright?” he asked taping her cheek lighly before picking her up and taking her to her room laying her on the bed towle still on.

“ come on chi…. Wake up … wake up… “ he chanted worried as he felt the back of her head to make sure she didn’t hit it if she had fallen…” chi… babe… come on… “ he whispered as he continued to try to wake her up.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

Marii giggled, “ no.. she made a perfect lunch even better… I have not had this much fun in a long long time Ryo. “

Smiling she got up off the ground wiping the dirt off her bottom as she keep a good eye on Yura, “ she is a very sweet girl though… “

Then looking at Ryo she winked at him, “ and I look forward to you making it up anyway Ryo~Nii!’ she said teasingly before biting her lip.

chi blinked and opened her eyes "is it morning or something" she said and rolled onto her side cuddling his arm into her face "just a few more minutes and ill start breakfast" she mumbled through his skin her wet hair entagled through her fingers

Hiru sighted relived that she was okay. He brushed the hair from her face and smiled, “ Chi… are you okay… you fainted in the bathroom….. “ he asked checking her forehead to see if it was warm or not.

“ you cant just sleep in the bath room I know you have enough sense for that… “ he said in good humor.

"but.. it was so nice and warm" she said with a shiver. going from that lovely steaming heat that was so comforting tot he hard cold of the house still a little wet and in nothing but a towel was making her shiver. she sat uup and blinked her concious state starting up again and suddenly her face turned bright red "W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING! IN NAKED!!!" she yelled pulling her towel tighter "h-how long have i been like this!!!" she said running into her closet shutting the door. she pulled on some panties that where white with black trim and a little cartoon panda on the front of them. then she looked around the closet and then found the hamper and looked through it. she found one of his shirts that she hadnt folded yet and pulled it over her head walking out with a blush still litered across her cheeks she walked over and sat down on the bed "im sorry about over reacting" she said shyly. it just shocked me...i didnt expect to wake up with you over me when i was ... indecent" she said and blushed fiddling with the bottom of his shirt she was wearing "and i kinda pulled on your shirt... i hope you dont mind" she said with a smile "its ... comforting" she said blushing wildly

Hiru couldn’t help but laugh at Chi’s reaction. She was so cute… and innocent unlike the girls he worked with… so pure.

And she was his girl friend, he thought with a blush.

Seeing her walk out of the closet in his shirt caught him off grad.. It was long enough to reach her mid thigh and she looked… sexy in it with her hair wet and wild like that… he wanted to kiss her again… but stopped him self.

“ no… its okay, keep it to sleep in. “ he said getting up suddenly , “ so… you going to make dinner… I need to um… bathe.. “

He walked out and excepted into the bathroom.

she walked intot he ktichen after he had left and started cooking dinner. she made lo mein. one of her favorites and easy to make. she filled his bowl and set it in place then filled hers then started on the dishes. she was so afraid of getting filthy dishwater on his shirt she pulled an apron on over it. altho the frilly little thing was small it was enough to cover her shirt and even go past the shirt a little. she smiled as she washed the dishes but her body felt achey. she just notched it up to a full days work and tried to shrug it off

Sayuri looked at Kim's glare and then at Hiko's smile. Indescision was eating her alive on what to do. She didn't exactly want to be around Kim or have the girl staring at her like she wished she would burn in hell. After all the feeling was mutual. But she didn't exactly trust her alone with Hiko. "Um I-I can't," She muttered, starting to fidget with her straw from the discomfrt of the stares. 'Come on, do you just want to lay down and prove Kim right?' She thought and her lips twitched up in a half smile. "I can't think of anything else I'd rather do." She laughed with complete enthusiasm and looked at Kim with a bright smile. "That would be fun, ne Kim?" She said knowing perfectly well it could be taken both ways. She left the honorific of san off on purpose. That girl wasn't going to be above her in anyway, shape, title, or form.
~~
Yura peeked around the bench, now annoyed Ryo-nii hadn't found her yet. Instead of finding him seeking her, he was talking to Marii-nee. The way he looked at Marii was so different from the way he looked at the other girls, even Yura. Yura felt her heart ache a little and her lower lips trembled slightly. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at the two and her cheeks turned red in frustration. 'Fine, if Ryo-nii doesn't care about me then I'll make him.' She thought and darted away from the bench t find a new place to hide.

Ryo blushed a little surprised. "Um, yeah, good." He said and cleared his throat as he heard that nickname Yura had given him come from Marii. "Laugh it up, I know it's pretty stupid." He muttered and his eyes darted away awkwardly only to find Yura gone. "Yura?" He jogged over to the bench in hopes to find her still there but she wasn't. "Shit." He pulled away from the bench and looked around trying to spot her. "Yura!" He called now looking worried. "Yura-chan, you can come out now, Marii-nee is it." He paused, listening but didn't hear anything. He looked around in every possible place she could hide where they were but couldn't find her. "Yura this isn't funny." He frowned but his attempt at a stern look was drenched with concern.
"Marii-did you see where she went?" He asked but he was too busy looking around.

"yes!" hiko exclaimed excitedly " this is going to be great!" he said completely oblivious to the two girls tension.

"alright then aki baby lets walk little miss sayuri back to work and then head to your place" she said and he nodded getting up and tossing their trash. he smiled walking with the twi and he reached out grabbing sayuri's hand. he smiled brightly at this. until kim walked up and bumped into him making him let go of sayuri's hand to keep from falling

"ne! kim ill get you for that!" he said and she giggled as he regained his balance. he looked back at sayuri with a weak smile while kim walked on ahead of them "im sorry about kim sayuri. i know shes embracive but she is a really good person deep down. i think of her as a sister" he chuckled and grabbed her hand again "i think thats why im trying to get you two to become friends so badly" he said and winked at sayuri looking back towards kim. she was standing next to his motorcycle and he smiled standing at the maid cafe door "go ask if you can take off for now" he said sticking his tongue out playfully "i dont want to wait" he said with a childish smile

Sayuri smiled then laughed at his smile. "Problem with your plan, how do you expect to take us both on a bike?" She said and fixed her maids uniform. She couldn't wear this to his house anyways. "I'll check but I'm not sure what she'll say." She said and walked into the cafe. Barely had she even opened the door when one of the other maids swarmed her, dragging to the cash register. From the window you could see Sayuri looking stunned as the other maid giggled and pointing outside, asking her something. Sayuri blushed slightly and said something back and the maid scurried into the back room after waving at Hiko with a wink. The manager opened the door and blinked looking from Sayuri to Hiko. She blinked and then snatched Sayuri into the back room with her. Sayuri was shoved out a couple seconds later in new clothes and she looked stunned.
"Seems I can take the whole night shift off too." She said when she opened the door and looked a little flustered. God her co-workers were embarrassing the living hell out of her.

hiko smiled largely and picked her up by the hips swinging her "im so happy" he said pulling her back down into his arms before taking her hand and leading to the bike where kim was first he got on then he pulled sayuri so she was sitting infront of him. "there see? not so bad" he said leaning over taking her hands and putting them on the handles of the bike and putting his hands over hers so he could steer and she could hold on. kim got on behind hiko holding onto his waist and he chuckled "arent i a lucky guy" he laughed and took off. it wasnt long before they had gottn to his house. he pulled up and parked the bike with a smile kim getting off then he helped sayuri off the bike. kim was making jokes and chatting with hiko not giving him room to talk with sayuri the entire way fromthe parking garage to the apartment. he opened up the door and kim walked in looking around "its so... tiny and boring... it doesnt suit someone like you at all hiko!!" she grumbled and he rolled his eyes pulling off his coat and sayuri's puiiting in on the coat rack at the door as he watched kim walking from room to room looking through books and all over his place. he rolled his eyes again at her noisy ness and walked with sayuri into the kitchen. he poured all three of them a glass of water and kim walked in and sighed "hey aki can i borrow some clothes?" she said and he nodded pointing to his door "go nuts" he said and she giggled walking into his room. she came back out a few minutes later wearing his t that was pulling up and tied to a crop top and a pair of his boxers that went to her knees. he groaned when he saw this "no thats fine just galavant around in my underwear..." he said and she winked "dont mind if i do" she walked over and sat at one of the bar stools smiling. she was a very beautiful girl, she looked like she should be on the front page of a european cover girl magazine with her perfect complection, except for the scattered freckles across her nose and cheeks.

"so then hiko what do you say to that serenating?" she said and he blinked "i havent played in such a long time kim im not going to embarrass myself infront of sayuri-chan" he said and she giggled "come on please aki puppy!!! for me!" she said and he scratched the side of his face. he had itchy stubble growing in. he sighed and shrugged walking back into the front room opening the closet pulling out a cello. he tuned it silently and sat down on the dge of a seat " what song kim?" he asked and she shrugged both her and sayuri walking into the room he was in "just something that you make up. i love when you make stuff up" she said and he huffed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MW2iMMttz9c&feature=related

he started and he seemed to slide to fit the cello like a glove but something about him and the cello seemed to flow like water. even through medications and pills... this hiko that was playing the cello was the true hiko he swayed his head and closed his eyes just listening to the sounds he was making. you could tell every minute of what he was doing was something he loved right then. he stopped and looke dup blinking " was that any good?" he asked looking at them both

kim smiled folding her arm s"you favored teh high string again" she said and he sighed "yeah... i just love the sound"

Hiru took a quick shower and got out of the shower to go and check on Chi… he was worried about the whole thing.

He was out in five min and back into the kitchen, “ here, “ he said taking the food and getting them at the table.

“ Chi… I want you .. To .. To take a day off okay? “ he said, “ I can make sure things get done… you wont have to worry but I’m worried about you Chi… please say you will rest… don’t make me tie you up to achieve it. “

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Marii giggled at Ryo’s blush and sighed before Ryo turned and saw Yura gone.

She looked her self as her heart droped as worry took a hold of her… Yura was lost… just like she had been…

Marii got up in a pannic, “YURA… YURA~CHAN! WERE ARE YOU. “ she called out as she started running around every tree around the area scared, “ COME TO MY VOICE …. ITS OKAY WERE ARE HERE LOOKING FOR YOU!” she called out.

(Sorry people! Been moving into my new house and I don't have internet. Sooo, it maybe a little while in between posts. Srry!)
Sayuri leaned against the wall, relishing the sound, and was rendered speechless. "That was beautiful." She said her voice airy as if she was releasing the breath she'd been holding. If Hiko could play like that, why did he need a piano, hell screw the piano! He obviously was attached to his cello. She felt her face growing red as she realized she'd just said that aloud and her eyes darted to the floor and back shyly. "Um, that was really amazing. H-How long have you been playing?" She asked though she felt a little awkward acting so amazed unlike the semi-professional Kim. Then again Kim most likely heard him play so many times, since she knew him so well. She even was using a bunch of nicknames for him. 'Aki puppy?' She thought a bit annoyed. What the heck was that about?
~~~
Ryo heared Marii and the look on his face was stoney. "I'm going to see if she maybe went to find her mom." He called to Marii and hurried down the stone step and nearly ran into a couple walking their dog. He asked them if they'd seen a small girl run by but they simply shook their heads. He knew Yura couldn't have gone far within that short time, but afeter all his searching, twenty minutes had gone by. Where could she be?

Towards where Marii was looking the wind caught by a statue of lanturn with coins scattered on it for good luck in the new year. A couple wisps of black hair caught on that breeze, revealing the hiding spot of Yura. She'd fallen asleep, propped against the statue. She shivered at the breeze and curled up a little with a mumble.

chi lowed the dish she was drying "no its fine hiru-kun dont worry to much ok? i was just tired from today its really ok i promise i was just trying to make up for lost time and i worked myself a little to hard but its all fine because a good nights sleep will put me back on the right track-" she rambled on a blush rising to her face. ever since they started 'dating' she had felt nervous and self concious. she bit her lip putting the dish on the table turning to him. chi struggled though trying to get the knot on the apron undone.

~*~

hiko smiled at sayuri "thank you sayuri-chan" he said taking her hand and kissing it "it was for you" he said with a smile growing across his face and then he sighed sitting back up "ive been playing instruments since i was 3... started off with the trumpet and then i found the cello when i was 10 and have loved it since" he said smiling "but ive had to learn alot of instruments over the years... it isnt easy to get in Tokyo University for the Arts" he said with a chuckle plucking at one of the strings

"yeah but it wouldnt hurt to study more too..." kim said and hiko nodded in agreement with her "im sure sayuri-chan will learn i need a shove in that department here and there" he said and kim sighed "yeah sayuri ... IF hiko stays here hes going to need help with his studies again. he almost got kicked out for failing his math class" she said and hiko rubbed the back of hsi head "i aced all the exams didnt i?" he said and kim huffed "it doesnt matter if you ace them you still have to ATTEND the class for at least a full day!!!" she said and hiko looked at kim before they both errupted into laughter

Sayuri smiled but knew she was lacking a little in understanding. So Hiko skipped his classes for music? Interesting. But the if in wether he stayed here freaked her out a little. "A little shove in that department?" She said and shook her head with a small laugh.

"yeah..." he said and sighed "tokyo university is bout had it with my ass." he said ruffling his hair and setting his cello back int eh case and slidding it under the couch leaning back in his seat he looked over at sayuri "they where pretty impressed with my school work from high school but i just slacked off so much when i got into college for my first year that they got kinda aggitated with me" he said and laughed a little when kim made a sarcastic noise "yeah tokoyo university is one of the hardest schools in the region... and he got accepted without a question and got offered full scholarships.... stupid kid" she said folding her arms "you could have gone to harvord... or the university of Copenhagen in denmark.. one of the most prestigious schools in all of europe... you know only 177 students are accepted a year and they actually sent him a letter asking him to join... and he turned it down to go here..." she said folding her arms looking very angry at that fact "it was a personal choice" he said witha shrug "i wanted to learn japanese" he said with a smile "and meet a pretty girl named sayuri" he said with a wink

Sayuri blushed though she was having trouble hiding her smile. She was glad he chose Japan over those other European Universities. Thanks to his personal choice... "I'm glad you did make that choice." She said and then looked at Kim. "Japan's schools may be different from european schools. But the students excel just the same." She said and laughed slightly. "I'm still studying for my language degree in a smaller college around here and many of the students get chosen to study at other accomplished schools around the world." She said and shrugged. "So you study in Denmark?" She asked Kim and then blinked at Hiko. "You both are from there right?"

"no, im from paris" she said flicking her hair behind her shoulder and hiko smiled "im from denmark though" hiko said with a smile "sayuri-chan you should try to get into tokyo U and then we could go to school together!" he said excitedly before looking at kim who cleared her throat "um. i dont study in a specific college sayuri, im being trained by a top modeling agencey to model the clothes my family makes." she said and smiled "and then i will take over the business" she said with a shrug

hiko smiled then frowned "why are we talking about school? i hate school..." he said and got up "lets watch a movie!" he said smiling and kim's face lite up "MONSTER MOVIE NIGHT!!!" she yelled and he smiled at her enthusiasm from their child hood memories that flooded in with those words. he walked into the living room pulling sayuri along with him popping in a horror film sitting down on the couch , he pulled his arm around sayuri with her sitting on one side and kim sitting on his other. he smiled yawning as the movie went on and the sun went down. soon the house was pitch black except the glow of the horror film. hiko felt everytime sayuri flinched and could feel kim sleeping on his shoulder. he pulled sayuri closer smiling at her leaning against her head his lips next to her ear "ill protect you ok? dont worry" he whispered pulling the hair back from her neck kissing it lightly before letting go running his that was on her shoulder through her hair slowly and soothingly

Marii heard Ryo but keep searching frantically, her scrambling caused her to slip and fall a few times.

It wasn’t till a breeze showed up that Yura’s hair gave her hidding place away.

Marii yelled out, “ YURA!” Marii scrambled over to her lifing her up into her arms, “ AH…. Are you okay! Are you Okay! Yura… “

She looked around for Ryo, “ RYO RYO I FOUND HER!”

She huged Yura to her close, “ god… im so happy you are safe. “

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hiru let her speek but ended up sighing.

“ stop.. “ Hiru said turning her around, and undoing the knot for her, “ I just want you to be safe okay…”.

Smiling he pulled her into his arms, “ if you don’t take care of your self I will have to force you to go on a vacation with me. “ he said smiling.

“ and worse yet ill make you pick the place “ he chuckled.

she blushed suddenly an image of having to wear a bathing suit around hiru coming to mind and the red only spread all over her face when she looked up at him. "e-eh! b-but..." she said and blinked looking up at hiru. he was so close to her again, she was afraid that he would be able to feel her heart beating wildly again

Hiru love seeing her blush... she was so beautiful like that.

“ yeah… it would be great…. “ looking down at her he suddenly lifted her up and twirled her around in a circle, “ THAT IS IT!”

He then put her down, “ that is it.. We are going to do, you pack a bag and chose a place im taking you any were you want to go “

He smiled largely , “ were, were do you want to go?”
