Yuki no Hana (open)

When Katsu woke up it was early in the morning. The sun was already out and shining over the town. The birds outside where making a lot of noise singing their morning songs. Katsu sat up looking a little irritated. He did not like to be woken up. He looked around the room but did not remember he had fall asleep in a bed. Thinking back of yesterday he remembered he was still at Moka her house. Had she dragged him here alone? Wow she must be really strong then.... He stepped out of the bed and went to look for moka's room. When he found it he saw that she was still asleep. Katsu stared at her for a moment smiling at her sleeping form. He decided to take a quick shower hoping she would be awake by the time he was done.

When he was done he returned back in the girls room only wearing a boxer and having a trowel in hit hand. Moka was still sleeping. How could she sleep when those birds where being so loud. Maybe she was used to it... Katsu walked to the side of the bed not making a single sound. He sat down beside her on the bed starring at her face. She looked really cute when she was sleeping. Not that she didn't when she was awake. He let out a sigh touching Moka her face with one of his fingers stroking the hair out of her face. Trying not to wake her. Katsu wanted her to wake up but he didn't want to be the one disturbing her sleep.

Moka was sound asleep as the sun rose the next morning. The golden rays of the sun filtered through the blinds, leaving striped shadows across her floor. Her covers were now wrapped rightly around her bare frame, her arms wrapped tightly around a pillow. She had a slight smile on her lips, her chest rising and falling in a rhythmic fashion as she breathed calmly. The next thing she knew, she felt someone touching her face. Her eyes shot open, she quickly sitting up and clutching the covers close to her nude form. She calmed slightly when she realized it was just Katsu, but soon a bright crimson blush crept across her face. He was half naked and she was completely naked, her sheets being her only cover. K-Katsu?! Wh-What are you doing? And where are your clothes?! She spoke in a bit of a panic, an extremely confused expression on her face.

Katsu blinked as he started to nervously laugh. 'Calm down! I just took a shower and then came looking if you had already woke up....... Besides Hime-chan, you didn't creep out yesterday when I had no shirt' He said between laughs. He was looking at the girl who was covering her self with the sheet. He started to blush when he relished that she did not seem to have any clothes on. 'Whah! I..I'm sorry.......' He almost screamed. Covering his eyes with his hand almost falling from the bed. Looking away from Moka as his cheeks where as red as tomato's. Katsu was about to stand up and quickly leave the room.

Moka listened as he told her to calm down. How could she be calm when she had a half naked male sitting on her bed with her, who was completely naked. There is a difference between no pants and no shirt, Katsu-kun... She was about to speak again when she suddenly noticed him going into a panic. She assumed he just realized that she was sitting there, completely naked except for her covers to hide her. She lightly sighed and slowly stood, keeping her sheets wrapped around her like a silk gown. Go wait for me in the living room, okay? I'm going to put some clothes on, then I'll come make us some breakfast. Does that sound good?

Katsu ran out of the room quickly and did not look back. The blush on his face had not left yet. Katsu decided to put his closet on as Moka seemed to freak out about it. When the blush had finally disappeared he slowly made his way down stairs. He walked to the window looking outside seeing the snow was about to melt away. Katsu walked over to the couch sitting on it. Moving his legs up close to his body while holing his arms around them. He rested his head on his knees starring to what was in front of him. He felt really confused...

Moka lightly sighed when Katsu left. She felt horrible about freaking out on him like that. She flung her sheets back on her bed, then dressed herself in her favorite pajamas. They were silk, pink in color, with tiny black bats decorating them. The top had to be buttoned up rather than just pulled on. Once dressed, she went down to the livingroom to find Katsu huddled up on the couch. He looked upset, and she felt like it was her fault. She walked over and sat beside him, placing a hand on his shoulder. Katsu-kun..? Are you okay..? Look, I'm sorry about this morning... She apologized, hoping that would help a little.

Katsu looked up notiching Moka felt sorry about what happend in the morning. It wasn't her fould for what happend. He should just have left her alone until she had woken up. He heard her appologise. 'don't worry, you haven't done anything wrong' he said while smiling. trying to not make her feel bad about something like that... As he felt her hand touch his shoulder his face went all red again remebering that he had been sitting next to her while she was all nude.... stop it!!! he coulend think like that. Katsu wanted to stand up and get far away from Moka but for some reason his body didn't want to listen.

Moka lightly smiled when she knew that Katsu wasn't mad at her, but then saw his face turn red. She took her hand from his shoulder and stood up. How about some breakfast? She walked out to the kitchen and began to shuffle throught the cabinets and the refrigerator, searching for stuff she could put together to make a good breakfast. She found eggs, bacon, bread for toast, and her stash of oranges. She put everything on the counter, then dug out two frying pans, one for eggs and one for bacon. How many eggs do you want? Katsu-kun?

Katsu calmed himself down following Moka to the kitchen 'that sounds good.' he softely spoke watching her get the food ready. He acually wasn't really hungry. He leaned against the wall waiting till she was done. 'Moka-chan i.. do... d-did.. have you........... uhmm' he stumbled over his own words trying to say something to break the silence but failed. Maybe he should just go back to the vizard warehouse to clear his head but the girl didn't seem to mind having him around.

Moka started with the eggs. She cracked four into a bowl that she retrieved from a cupboard, then stirred them vigorously with a fork until they were blended together. She greased the frying pan with a small amount of olive oil, then poured the eggs into the pan. While they were cooking, she laid six strips of bacon in the other pan. They popped and sizzled while they cooked. She then started on the toast. Thankfully, her toaster had four slots instead of two. She popped four slices of wheat bread into the slots, then pulled the trigger tab down on each slot, letting the toaster do its job. While everything was in the cooking process, she took out two plates, two glasses and two forks. She set two places at the table, then went back to stir the eggs and flip the bacon.

She looked up for a moment to take a breath, noticing Katsu in the kitchen as well. He tried to say something, but stuttered a little. She lightly tilted her head to the right, looking at him curiously. You did what, Katsu-kun? She wondered what he could have meant. While she waited for his reply, she stirred the eggs again to find them done. She lightly salted and peppered them, then walked the pan over to the table. She dumped half the eggs on her plate, and then the other half on his plate. She then brought the pan to the sink and ran it under some hot water before leaving it in the sink. At that moment, the toast popped up she took a paper towel and fished out the hot pieces of toasted bread, placing two on each plate. Next was the bacon. Once the bacon was finished, she laid three strips on each plate, then hurried to get the orange juice from the refrigerator. She poured them each a glass, then left the jug on the table incase they wanted more. She grabbed the butter dish and a butter knife, placong them on the table as well. Finally. Everything was set. She let out a relieved sigh, then smiled at Katsu. Breakfast is served!

'its nothing...' Katsu quickly replied looking back at Moka like he had not said anything. When she had finished breakfast he returned a smile to her. He sat down at the table looking down at his plate. It looked perfect like it had come out of a picture that could be found in cooking books. 'This looks really good!' He said in a happy tone almost not wanting to ruin it by eating it.

Moka knew it wasn't just nothing, but she wasn't one to pry. She was sure Katsu would tell her when he was ready. She smiled when he sat at the table, she too taking her seat. fork and scooped up a bit of scrambled eggs, then popped it in her mouth. The flavor came out perfect. She swallowed her bite, then took a sip of juice. She noticed Katsu just staring at his plate like it was a work of art or something. She chuckled a bit. [Color=lightblue] You know...if you stare at it long enough...you're eyes still won't eat it for you. Just eat up. It'll get cold and taste terrible! She smiled again, taking a piece of her toast. She buttered it, then took a bite. She loved wheat toast. A perfect breakfast accessory in her opinion. She hoped Katsu would enjoy the meal as much as she did.

Katsu smiled warmly and began to eat. It tasted perfectly. 'did you really make this your self? it looks like it came from a cooking show or something..' having a teasing look on his face. Happily began eating it all as he sometimes looking up at Moka. Suddenly he started to grin staring at Moka her face. As he had got an idea, going totally gonna be a bad ass. Maybe she would hate him for it but he was soon gonna find out. One of his eyes had turned red while the other was still green 'Hime-chan......... ' he called out trying to make her look up.

Moka chuckled a bit at his comment. What do you mean by that? You just watched me make it. She smiled, then went back to eating. She was half done with the eggs now, and started on the bacon. She ate a couple strips of bacon before taking another sip of her juice and another bite of her toast. She then stopped when she heard Katsu call her by the little nickname he gave her. She blinked and looked up, noticing one of his eyes had turned red. She grimaced. It was his inner hollow again. Something wasn't right. She hoped that she wouldn't have to manifest her bow again. The silver crucifix that hung from the black collar around her neck began to glow with a pale blue hue. She was prepared to defend herself in case of an attack.

Katsu let out a sigh as he saw the collar around Moka her neck glow blue. He still had his inner hollow in control but it was playing with his mood and personalty. Katsu wondered why his inner hollow showed up so much the last two days as it normally was perfectly in control. The hollow within him seemed to have an interest on haunting this quincy girl. He stand up walking to her having a blank stare on his face. His hand moved to the side of her neck, touching the collar. Katsu bowed down to her level a little. Getting dangers close to her. 'i wasn't planning on fighting you....' He said with an hind of irritation on his voice and smiled weakly. His free hand pulling her closer. Katsu his body moved on its own but didn't really mind the position he had put himself into.

Moka blinked as he stood up, unsude of what he was planning. She could never be sure if it was his inner hollow that was in control. His blank expression gave her chills. She remained motionless, showing no hint of fear as his hand touched the leather collar. As he touched it, the crucifix began to glow brighter, reacting to the level of spiritual pressure the male held. Her eyes followed him as he got down to her level. He was incredibly close now. She didn't know what to do, nor did she know what he had planned. When he said that he didn't plan on fighting her, the light emminating from her cross slowly dimmed before fading and disappearing completely. She felt him pulling her closer. Katsu-kun...what are you doing..? She figured that, instead of wondering, she should just ask and get it over with. She could sense the inner hollow stirring within the male, and had a feeling that he was losing control to the hollow once again. There was a hunger in those eyes of his, a frightening hunger, and she had a feeling that it was for her.

Katsu stayed into to that position for a minuet still starring blankly into her eyes. Why was she still being so nice and why did she believe his word of not planning on fighting. She should not have listen to him. Letting out a oft laugh. The hand that was touching her neck was shaking lightly. The grip of his other hand becoming more tight not caring if it was hurting the girl. Suddenly the space between them was closed as his lips where on hers. He did not move away and the hand on her neck had stopped shaking and was trying to choke her.

Moka winced slightly as the male's grip on her tightened. She could feel his other hand trembling. She now knew he was in an internal conflict with his inner hollow, the creature starting to win. Katsu-kun...please fight it...it's your body, not the hollow's...please, Ka--- Her pleading was quickly silenced by Katsu's lips capturing her own. She felt his hand on her neck now gripping her throat, choking her. She wasn't going to let the monster's hunger for her win. Her crucifix began to glow again, this time with a brighter, cerulean blue light. Her hands gripped his chest, she then pushing him off of her. She took a breath, her right hand coming to her neck. The flesh was tender and slightly bruised. What was he trying to do to her? Katsu-kun...come to your senses...please...I know you don't want to hurt me..

Katsu was being pushed off ending op sitting on the floor. He had his head down watching the floor, his hair was covering his eyes. The hollow had went to far now. Moka was right. this was his body not that of the hollow. The hollow used his weakness for Moka against him. He felt that his inner hollow was really pleased of this event. Katsu had come to his sense but was afraid to look up. Afraid of seeing Moka hurt. Awaiting his punishment. Feeling really angry on himself. 'a... are you oke?' he asked finally looking up but wasn't sure if he should have asked that.

Moka lightly sighed and rubbed the bruises on her neck. She glanced back at Katsu, noticing him not making any other moves towards her. He must have regained control. She heard him ask if she was okay. d. [Color=lightblue] I'm alright...nothing serious... what about you? Are you...well...you now..? She now saw why Vaizards were often feared. Their tendency to lose themselves to their hollow was sure to turn most away from them, but not Moka. She never turned on a friend, especially when their actions were beyond their control. She sat in silence, her hand still over her bruised neck.

Katsu stand op slowly stepping forwards stopping in front of her but didn't come to close. Looking at what he had done to her neck. This was why he had ran away from soul society and left everyone behind there also he normally avoid being near other living beings. Because he was afraid of losing control. 'i really wasn't planning on hurting you... i... ' He said but he had meant the kiss. That was his own will. 'just slap me if i ever come that close again.' Saying it in a serious tone turning his back to her walking out of the kitchen. He could not take any risks anymore it was time to also stay away from this girl he could hurt her really bad or worse....

Moka listened to him speak, knowing quite well that he had no intentions of harming her. She could sense the good in him. His hollow was the only thing stopping it from coming out. When he told her to slap him if he ever tried it again, she just chuckled and reached out to pat his shoulder. Before she made contact, however, he had started to walk out of the kitchen. She softly sighed and followed him. She could see that he was really torn about what had happened. Moka stopped him by grabbing his wrist, making him turn to face her. Stop beating yourself up over the incident, Katsu-kun. I'm not mad, alright? So just relax and smile for me. I like it better when you're happy.

As Katsu walked out of the kitchen he felt something grab his wrist knowing very well it was Moka. She made him turn to her. 'you really don't hate people easily do you...' Letting out a sigh trying to make a smile like she wanted him to. He lifted his hand to Moke her neck once again but this time stroking over the brush he had made. 'i will try harder to control it...' almost whispering.

Moka looked at him curiously when he made a comment about her not being able to easily hate someone. What do you mean, Katsu-kun..? Are you trying to make me hate you? She was utterly confused now. She felt his hand on her neck again. She winced slightly as his fingers brushed against the bruises, the flesh still tender. She heard him mutter something under his breath, but was unable to decipher what he had said. She simply smiled and placed her hand over his. If you are trying to make me hate you, you're not doing that great of a job...

Katsu looked Moke in the eyes. 'no! i don't want you to hate me... i.... i actually wish you would do the opposites of that.. i mean..damn....' He wasn't really thinking of what he saying just talking of what was on his mind. But when he relished what he had said it was already to late. He looked away from Moka blushing a little having a weird feeling in his stomach. It was not his inner hollow.
