Chapter 33

Ekko felling Rangikus Probing Fingers Looked Back." Down Girl."

"Hehe." Rangiku just Pulled her tongue out and Then firmly Got a hold of Ekko, seeing as she was good he asked her where he needed to go, and once he knew he Drove Off, shocking a lot of people who Were just walking Or Driving by.

Motorcycles were definitely not Quiet things, you could hear them from hundreds of meters away.

'Let's See what this Suzuki GSX-R1000 can Do." Hold on Tight Rangiku."

{Vrooooooooooom!!!!}

"WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

{The next Morning: Yakushi Inn}

Ekko Woke Up Early in the morning as he wanted to go To Silverman Gym for a few hours and get those gains.

So after showing and putting on Some gym clothes, He went to the Kitchen to make breakfast not only for himself But For his new Tenant/Roommate Rangiku.

He flipped The Pancake before he noticed it was ready and took it out of the frying pan. 'Gotta love the smell of freshly Baked Pancakes and sizzled Bacon in the morning.'

{Tap, tap, tap.}

As he finished plating the Food, A clearly tired and famished Rangiku entered, her body was still half awake and her eyes Were still half closed.

She wore a loose-fitting T-shirt that went down to her thighs and some black shorts. Ekko noticed Rangiku and sighed.' Looks like she's still half asleep.' Well, he couldn't even blame her for that as she came back home around 11 o'clock last night.

Though knowing she was working so hard made him feel like his choices were the right ones after all.

*Yawn*" Ekki is that breakfast I'm so hungry, but I can't eat too much I can't get fat for the show." Ekko felt sorry for Rangiku, as he was Ruben's friend he knew that models didn't have it easy, especially when it came to their diets, poor girls, some even went days without eating.

"Ekki??? Where the hell did that nickname Come from."Ekko asked as he approached Rangiku.

Rangiku tilted her head in a thought full manner before replying." Uhhhh... well, I thought it sounded cute so I'll call you Ekki from now on.* Yawn* Those pancakes smell good."

Rangiku looked at the delicious-looking pancakes and drooled at the sight of the syrup-laced stack.

" You can have it, I made those for you anyway. Plus it's only one day, I'm sure, just having one cheat day won't affect your weight. And you haven't even done your hair yet, It's all over the place."

She had really bad bed Head, but looking at her sleepy expression and listening to her Horse morning voice Ekko found it sexy. Ekko brought his hands up and ran them through Rangikus hair.

Normally he wouldn't do something like this but he subconsciously started sorting out her hair like he used to to all the girls in the orphanage he stayed in. Rangikus' appearance also reminded him of them.

" I wonder if they're doing okay, I hope so, how are they coping with my death..." Ekko was interrupted from his monologuing by Rangiku.

" Did you say something Ekki..." Rangiku asked as she moaned in Happiness as she let Ekko run his hands through her head and scalp. It reminded her of what her mother used to do for her and her brother.

She subconsciously smiled at the sweet memory of her mother. The memories then overlapped with one of Ekko when The pair Hugged on the train.

{*Giggle*}

' I definitely won't lose to any woman, granny Chio said I have a lot of competition, and I don't dought that, but I won't give up that easily, I dont know if what I have for him is Love or Apretiattion of what he did for me and Gin, but I know one thing, I dont like the thought of Him being another's.'

'So I'll just have to beat every possible rival I come Across. ( *Sigh* It won't be that easy Rangiku.)

"It's nothing I was just talking to myself, Also Eat the food while it's still warm, that way it will taste better." Phew, that was close, I was talking out loud, good thing she didn't hear what I said.'

(Random Question: Do you guys Save leftover pizza for breakfast and if so do you eat it hot/ Reheat or cold? I eat it cold. Am I weird for that.)

"Ekki, after eating can we sleep together, you are so comfortable as a pillow, and my futon isent as nice as yours." Rangiku suddenly Asked Causing Ekko to stop stroking her head, to Rangikus disappointment.

" Ha, No can do Rangiku, I still have stuff to do. Though if you don't like your futon Just Sleep in mine while I'm gone, today's your Day off so rest well."

"Mhhh, I will, have a good day Ekki, dont miss me too much." She nodded and Lazily and made her way to the table to eat and Ekko just chuckled. She was something else.

Ekko bid Farewell to Rangiku before Making His way Out. He wasn't Going to Ride this time but Run, he set His Ankle And Arm seals to a good amount of weight And started His Run.

Though as he was running he noticed the Town looked more colorful and Festive than Usuall, was there a festival or something today, how come he Hadn't Heard of anything like that?

As he ran he Saw the sight of all the vendors and greeted them like he usually does and bought some stuff to Bring home Later. He only had food for two people, and more would be joining soon...hopefully.

He still didn't get any calls or emails that anyone was interested, but it was only the second day, he still Had three more weeks.

Finally, he saw Granny Chio as usual sitting down and Drinking tea." Morning Granny, how are you, is your back All better now." Ekko greeted her and asked as a few days ago Granny Chio had hurt her back Lifting something too heavy so he offered to massage her And even bought a pill from the shop that would heal her aches and Any damage.

" Good morning Ekko, I'm doing amazing thank you for asking, and that massage did wonders for my back, I know where to go if I feel any pain again."

" That's good, and it wasn't anything you just have to ask If you need anything granny, by the way, I noticed the streets are being decorated and people putting up Fox sculptures in front of their houses and shops, is there a parade or something."

" Oh my, I completely forgot you've only been here a week, so you wouldn't have known, me and my forgetfulness. Well, they are decorating And preparing For the Twin-tailed goddesses Festival."

"Twin-tailed goddesses Festival??" Ekko was confused he had heard of a lot of different Japanese gods like the famous Amaterasu, The 9-tailed Fox, Izanagi, Ebisu, Susanoo Bishamonten, and the likes, but never the Twin-tailed goddess.

'Maybe she is a minor deity?'
