Chapter 13 - Know your enemy

18 December 2002

"Hanma-kun, I brought something for you" you said in a sing-song voice as you place a paper bag on his desk, he was currently taking a nap. You tilt your head as you stared at his sleeping figure.

"Hanma-kun it's lunch time, you haven't eaten yet" you said poking him repeatedly and you heard him groan, he turned away from you still asleep. "Leave me alone" he yawned waving at you to go away.

All your friends looked at you confused at your sudden interest in the sleeping boy that didn't give a shit about you, you had been trying to get his attention for about 20 minutes. "Y/n-chan are you okay?you know he isn't gonna talk to you right" Chiyo said.

"Just let him sleep" Himiko added.

Choosing to be stubborn, you run your hand through his inky dark hair and he flinched from the contact. He grabbed your hand, his grip tightening as he sat up straight. "What?" He hissed exasperated, but his eyes widen when he saw you grinning at him.

"Look inside" you said ignoring his intense grip on your arm pushing the paper bag infront of him, he looked at you the bag, then you then the bag. He let go of your wrist and hesitantly opened looked in side the paper bag and he gasped surprised by the contents inside.

He took out a strawberry short cake carefully wrapped in a clear plastic with a red ribbon tied on top. "Okay, what game are you playing at?" He asked his eye's focused on your now bright red wrist, his grip was strong enough to make other's cry or scream in fear but you only brushed it off as something normal. You were certainly stronger than you looked.

A smile tugged at your lips, you placed your elbow on the table and propped your chin in your palm as you stared at him. "I'm not playing games I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas."

"It's not Christmas yet" he replied glaring at you doubting your intentions. For all he knew you were trying to poison him, after all your first day at school you basically told him to stay away from you but now you were giving him cake. Definitely suspicious.

"I know. Winter break about to start and I was just sad that I won't be seeing you for a while" you replied maintaining your smile as you fluttered your eyelashes innocently. "And we just finished exams, so I thought you needed something sweet."

He stayed quiet glaring at the cake, you groaned as you sat back up straight unwrapping the plastic from the cake. You took out a small piece of the cake using a fork and stuffing it inside your mouth. "There's no poison in this" you reassured reading his mind as you swallowed the piece of cake and he still didn't seem to believe you.

"Dude come on seriously I'm trying to be nice but you're here acting like I'm a serial killer or some kind of zombie" you pouted your lips frustrated. "I just really wanted to do something nice for you."

He didn't reply, he just simply went back to sleep. "Rude" you mumbled eating the dessert.

"I just don't get it" you cried rolling on the floor as the old man and Yukio stared at you confused. You guy's were at the old man's house playing cards, when you suddenly started crying.

The old man's house was not far from his store, it has a japenese style interior.

"What happened?" Yukio rolled his eye's shuffling the deck of cards, one eye closed as he placed the cards down in the middle.

"She has been trying to seduce a boy in her class and he rejected her gift and now she's throwing a tantrum" the old man snitched and you let out a dramatic gasp.

The albino stared at you with a funny shocked expression. "It's not like that!" You shouted when you saw his expression. "I just want to be friends with him! But he keeps treating me like an alien!! And he even ignored me" you mumbled out the last part, letting out a sniffle.

You knew befriending Hanma was going to be hard but did he really have to ignore all your attempts at trying to talk to him.

Monday, he slept the whole day.

Tuesday, he said you were annoying.

Wednesday, he told you to stay away.

Then, Thursday he ignored you and went to sleep.

After the vision of the future you saw you knew you immediately had to befriend Hanma before he met Kisaki, then you would convince him to join Toman. Yep! This way Kisaki won't have an ace up his sleeve.

"You're trying too hard" Yukio adviced handing out five cards to each of you guys.

"She's not trying too hard" the old man chimed in. "She's not trying hard enough."

Your heart broke at his words. "Why do you even want to befriend him? Aren't your new friends enough?" The albino asked.

"You wouldn't understand, I really need him to like me" you replied falling on your back, your eye's closed as you a flash of the future crosses your mind. Or that will happen.

"Why don't you just follow him? See what he likes, then you do that for him" the albino jokingly suggested but he immediately regretted it when you sat back upstraight with a hint of mischieve dancing in your (e/c) orbs.

"Yuu-chan you're such a genius!" you exclaimed snapping your fingers. "Know your enemy."

"Y/n I was joking," he paled trying to bring you back into your right mind.

"That's a good idea!" The old man agreed giving you the thumbs up. "You can even wear a disguise, like a spy. "

"Or a ninja" you sparkled.

The albino could only listen in your horror at you guy's coming up with the shittiest plan he had ever heard in his life, now he was rethinking his decision to introduce you to his sister. He knew you two would cause way too much trouble if you guy's were ever united.
