Basement

This is a very dark basement.....

*goes down and looks around for him and notices that he wasn't down there and leaves*

*Umehito sets up some candles on the floor and sits.*

*peers through the door holding her doll* Can I join you....*looks at him with a sad and 'I'm sorry' look*

*Umehito peers up and nods.*

*walks in with the doll and sits down by him cross legged hugging the doll close to her keeping quiet*

*He stays quiet for a little while, flicking his hands and lighting a match.*

*closes her eyes half way and keeps the doll close to her as her breathing slows down and she feels calmer in the room* ... *watches him silently*

*He feels his fingers move over the candle wick and burn, but ignores it.*

*keeps watching and keeps silent* ... *keeps hugging the doll*

*His eyes turn toward Kio, but his face stays toward the flame.*

*looks at him in the eyes not flinching and not scared* ... *her hug on the doll loosens*

*He narrows his eyes and watches her, his face now in her direction.* ..Yes?

*blinks a few times and hugs the doll tight again* S-sorry......Sensei~kun.....*looks down at the ground guilty*

What for? *He looks boredly at her.*

*blushes slightly and looks back at him* For calling you a pervert......I should've known my place.....*looks at her doll and holds it close*

Your place is your own in your home. *He shrugs slightly and looks at the fire.*

*sighs* I'm still sorry....I know that I am yours and I shouldn't have acted the way I did....*looks at him* Sensei~kun, are you going to stay here? Or will I being staying with you?

It depends on how I feel. *Umehito stands up and picks up a candle.* Personally, I like to stay home.

*stays quiet and thinks* Then dose that mean I go with you, or stay here? *looks at him then at the doll*

You can be where you want, but come if I call. *Umehito smirks at her.*

*nods her head in understatement* Do you want supper Sensie~kun? Or anything else for that matter? *looks at him with a small smile standing up holding the doll*

What can you make? *He looks curious.*

What ever you want. I can make just about anything....*smiles slightly then her smile vanishes a little*

What's wrong? *Umehito sighs and watches her.*
