トーキョーグール

          ❝ ——— yeah, yeah. ❞

     ❝... that's a long story. ❞

   she slowly nodded her head, looking down at herself, the expression on her face clearly showing that she was not amused at all. and after this had happened she'll surely never touch any flour ever again. that's it. no more attempts to bake. never again. 

"No, no, no! Don't put that in yet!"

"Are you sure that you cooked it all the way?"

"Well, something definitely smells good in here."

"Are you... baking?"

"Here, you stir this while I set the oven temperature."

"Do you wanna lick the bowl?"

"It's boiling over!"

"Uh, that looks a little... overcooked."

"You got some batter on your face."

"What is this mess?"

"Why are you covered in flour?"

"Are you sure you're supposed to add that much sugar?"

"Ouch! That pan in hot!"

"Don't take that out of the oven with your bare hands!"

"I don't think you know how to use a mixer."

"Wash your hands, and then you can help me."

"Those aren't quite done."

"Does something smell burnt to you?"

                Upon hearing that she did not have                 any plans, he frowned. Normally people                 wanted to surround themselves with loved                 ones during the winter. There was Christmas                 and then New Years, both events that were                 best spent with friends and family. Those                 that you cherished. The thought of her being                 alone, just as he, made him pipe up.

                  ❝ Hang out with me, then. A Christmas                      without family is pretty lonely. If we’re                      together, then it’ll be nice. ❞

                He’s spent far too many holidays alone                 so he was looking forward to this year                 being different. He was looking forward                 to more chances of spending time with                 her. His attention is brought to the front                 once more, cars driving past the two,                 occasional other people walking about.                 Despite all the distractions around him                 that were calling to him, he was too focused                 on her, with the feelings she was giving him                 by simply being by his side. 

             Having her gaze fixed on the ground               occasionally trying to kick a leaf away               a wide grin spread across her face at               his suggestion to celebrate christmas               together, thus her reply was an a little               too euphoric nod of her head, along               with a genuinely happy laugh that               slipped past her lips as her gaze went               from the ground back to up to him.                  ❝ I'd love to! I didn't celebrate christmas                     for at least three years now. Will we get                     presents for each other too? Because I'm                     really, really bad with presents, sadly. ❞                After the last word left her lips Kasumi                 formed her lips to a pout, but soon                 returning to the smile she was wearing                 the whole time. She hasn't even been                 outside often lately, and walking down                 the street reminded her of how much                 she loved the autumn weather, the                 colors, the only minus about it would be                 when it got too cold, and that winter was                 what came after autumn, that, too, was                 one of the bad things about all this.                    ❝ Isn't it kinda weird how fast a year                        goes by? I mean I swear it was                        spring not too long ago. It felt like                        only a few days and suddenly it's                        almost christmas. ❞

❝ You’re only saying that because    I haven’t been given the opportunity    yet to be a bad person. When it    comes, I’m not so sure if I’ll    be able to resist the temptations. ❞

Though he had not killed anyone, it was only a matter of time before something like that happened. And he was terrified that someone innocent would get hurt on his path to redeeming what was lost. Uncontrollable spouts of rage, indescribable emotions that caused his blood to boil, and that was only at the thought of the individual responsible for killing his father, for ruining his n o r m a l life. A grudge was held after all these years. Imagine what would happen the moment his sights are set on the murderer. 

                  ❝ Oh come on, you could never                        be as bad as I am, so you're                        on the good side, don't you                        worry. The temptation might                        be there at some point, but                        as long as you're not going                        on a killing spree.. ❞     She kept her voice down, shooting him a      small smile. In her eyes almost everyone     was good, except herself. a reminder of      all the killing she had done not too long      ago, lying to people saying she'd never      kill someone innocent. yes, that was a lie     only a few months ago she had gone more      than just crazy, it got to a point where she      stopped counting how many people had died      under her hands, how many innocent people.      Kasumi shook the thought off with a shrug of      her shoulders, clearing her throat quietly. 

          ❝ You're not planning to go                     on a killing spree, right? ❞
