Chapter Twenty-Eight: Confusing Love:

Watari headed towards his lave when he found Takashi waiting in the hallway. Curious, Watari quickened his step.

ï¿½Takashi,ï¿½ he said. ï¿½What are you doing out here? Something on your mind?ï¿½ The angel turned in the direction he heard the scientist.

ï¿½Watari-san,ï¿½ he said. ï¿½Itï¿½s you.ï¿½

ï¿½Are you okay?ï¿½ the shinigami asked.

ï¿½Yeah,ï¿½ Takashi said. ï¿½I have a question.ï¿½

ï¿½Alright,ï¿½ Watari said puzzled. ï¿½Whatï¿½s on your mind?ï¿½

ï¿½What is love?ï¿½ the angel asked. The scientist looked rather intrigued.

ï¿½May I ask the nature of this question?ï¿½ he asked.

ï¿½Excuse me?ï¿½ Takashi asked.

ï¿½Why are you asking this question?ï¿½ the scientist asked. Takashi tried to think of the reason.

ï¿½To be honest,ï¿½ he said. ï¿½I donï¿½t know.ï¿½ Watariï¿½s eyes lit up as if he discovered a new supernatural species.

ï¿½Oh!ï¿½ he cheered. ï¿½Does it have to do with Charlotte-san?ï¿½ He noticed the angelï¿½s cheeks turning bright red at that question.

ï¿½I see,ï¿½ Watari beamed.

ï¿½Itï¿½s not like that!ï¿½ Takashi yelped.

ï¿½Then what is it like?ï¿½ Watari asked peering at him. Takashi froze as his face became redder.

ï¿½Iï¿½ï¿½ he said. ï¿½Iï¿½ï¿½ The angel dropped his shoulder defeated. ï¿½I donï¿½t know,ï¿½ he said at last. Watari gave him an understanding smile.

ï¿½Confused there?ï¿½ he asked. Takashi pressed his lips together. Watari already had the right angle to work with.

ï¿½How do you feel about her?ï¿½ he asked. Takashi felt a warm glow coat his face.

ï¿½Well, sheï¿½s really nice,ï¿½ he began. ï¿½Char-chanï¿½s also pretty bright. Sheï¿½s trying to make her future better after what sheï¿½s been through. Plus, sheï¿½s really beautiful.ï¿½

ï¿½Beautiful?ï¿½ Watari asked.

ï¿½Yeah,ï¿½ the angel replied. ï¿½I canï¿½t see her, but her voice and personally make her as such.ï¿½

ï¿½I guess that makes sense,ï¿½ Watari said. He didnï¿½t hesitate to ask the next question.

ï¿½How far her you have you been with her?ï¿½ the scientist asked. Takashi couldnï¿½t connect the dots.

ï¿½What?ï¿½ he asked.

ï¿½You know,ï¿½ the scientist said. ï¿½Have you been all the way with Charlotte-san?ï¿½

ï¿½All the way?ï¿½ the angel asked. Watari leaned in close to his ear.

ï¿½Have you had sex with her?ï¿½ he whispered. The scientist glanced over to see Takashiï¿½s face just as red.

ï¿½I take that as a yes,ï¿½ he replied. Takashi swallowed in a gulp. Watari put what pieces of the puzzle he had together in his mind. Only Charlotteï¿½s half remained to be heard.

ï¿½How long have you been in Chijou?ï¿½ Watari asked.

ï¿½About six years,ï¿½ Takashi said. Watari nodded in thought.

ï¿½I see,ï¿½ he said. He must have started to develop human emotions by then, the scientist thought. Interesting.

ï¿½Watari!ï¿½ someone called out to him. The scientist looked up to see Tsuzuki hurrying over to him.

ï¿½What is it, Tsuzuki?ï¿½ he asked. The older shinigami raced over to his friend.

ï¿½Hey,ï¿½ he said. ï¿½I need your help. Itï¿½s about Anna-chan.ï¿½

ï¿½What about her?ï¿½ his friend asked with an eyebrow raised.

ï¿½Oh?ï¿½ he asked. ï¿½Whatï¿½s the problem?ï¿½ Tsuzuki darted his eyes around for one second.

ï¿½Not out here,ï¿½ he whispered. His friend got the jest of the secrecy behind this request.

ï¿½Okay, follow me,ï¿½ the scientist whispered. All three men headed into the lab.
