I'm not going to even post the title, I think it's quite stupid.
The title, I mean
Chapter 1 (Asuka's POV)
I watched the two apparently quarreling siblings walk out of the sparring dojo, usually from the look on their faces I could tell who won, but this time it seemed as though neither of them won. Shiku walked to the left with a look of disapproval on her face and a small furious redness on her face, although there also seemed to be a tinge of blush. Kiri walked straight pass me, as he brushed against me so light that I could barely feel it, I felt my heart beating up faster. I had wanted to ask, "What's wrong?" but my voice came out a squeak.
Kiri looked back at me with obvious annoyance on his face, he gave a hard stare then walked on.
I was obviously used to watching the two have outbursts, but the thing I wasn't used to was my feelings I have started to have whenever Kiri walked past me now. I felt my heart getting caught in my throat and my heart, it would beat faster. My face would start to heat up and... Oh... what's the use. I would feel so jealous when I saw Shiku sitting close to him during lunch, as she always did. I always sat next to Shiku just blocked by her from Kiri. I could always feel my blood boiling with fury as she clung on to him as she always did.
I walked by the rooms walking toward Shiku's room, I walked past it absentmindedly and I was standing in front of Kiri's room. Wasn't I supposed to be at Shiku's room? I thought to myself, then turned the other way and started to walk back, but then the door unlocked and Kiri stepped out bumping into me.
"Hey, didn't see you there," he said, I took it as an apology. He carried onto ask, "What are you doing?" then his eyes narrowed. "Did Shiku make you come here?"
I considered my options. One, I could say yes and then watch Shiku and Kiri go onto a hissy fight, but also lose Kiri's faith. Or I could say no, and have an awkward moment trying to explain my reason for being there. I chose the latter. "No," I protested truthfully.
Kiri arched his eyebrows, in a questioning expression.
I was about to stall or tell him the story truthfully, but before I could chose which one I should do, Shiku came out of her room, still angry. She and him exchanged deathly glares before she walked past him, forcefully bumping into him almost knocking him over.
Kiri gave a huff and looked over at me, "Your sister, is very UNREASONABLE sometimes."
Usually, I would've made a smart comment like, "She's your sister too." But today I just looked down and nodded silently.
Kiri ran his fingers through his fine silvery hair, and then looked down leaning on the door to his room a bit. We heard the front door to the house being slammed by, most likely, Shiku. Then Kiri gave a sigh, "Whatever. If you see Shiku again just tell her I'm sorry."
As usual, Kiri was the first to give up on the fight of stubbornness. Now don't get me wrong or anything, Shiku is a great sister and friend and everything... when she's not being stubborn.
"What happened?" I asked silently, half expecting him not to answer me.
"Something stupid."
I believed him for the second, I mean it's Shiku, and ONLY Shiku would be so stupid to be fussy about something stupid. Not... that I knew what actually happened. ONLY Shiku would be being fussy with my Kiri so that he'd do something nice to make up. ONLY Shiku.
My Kiri, did I just think that? Oh well...
My bad.

Chapter 2 (Kiri's POV)
I honestly don't think I did anything wrong at all, obviously there is the possibility that she just wants to be mad at me, cause well, supposedly, that's what we do, we argue. But really, I don't think it was my fault at all this time. On the surface it may seem as if I'm just being wuss, but that's not what happened. I know I'm supposed to be the man and also the older brother and just say sorry. Which I did already, or at least I told Asuka to tell her.
Anyhow, this is the way the situation REALLY happened.
Shiku and I were sparring in the sparring dojo, and then I lunge at her aiming at her unguarded spot, her leg. But suddenly Shiku drop kicks me and I am about to fall when Shiku herself slips then tilts me forward for my fall. So I fall onto her, obviously. And we stay in that position, I just looked at her, while she did the same to me. So we stared for about 5 minutes when all of a sudden Shiku kicks me back up and is about to go back to sparring when I just got the urge to make a smart comment, "If anyone else besides us looked at that, they'd think differently about our relationship."
Shiku's eyes widened at that and then formed into a unsteady glare, eventually she throws down her bo stick with a loud clashing sound against the wooden floor and she throws down her mask and walks out of the dojo, even forgetting to take off her sparring shoes. I stand there in shock for the next few seconds trying to process what just happened, then I storm out of the room myself as well. I can feel the people that were forming the line for the sparring academy's stares on me. But I could care less.
For the next few hours, I sit in my room twirling my pen around trying to figure out what I did wrong exactly. My logical side of my mind tells me, I honestly didn't do anything wrong and that Shiku just processed the whole situation in her mind wrong. But women are weird like that, so I obviously did something wrong through the eyes of a woman.
I open the door from my room with a click to meet with Asuka at the door, my first thought was to stop in my tracks to keep from knocking her down. I asked her, "Why are you here?" then the unthinkable enters my mind. "Did Shiku send you here?"
She looks down, not answering my question biting her lip slowly trying to choose her excuse wisely. She looked kind of cute in that position to say the least. And to say the truth I've never actually noticed her, until lately. I've been seeing her a lot more around the halls. Before whenever I talked to Shiku, she would never speak to me directly, she barely talked to me. Apparently, I was not of interest to her.
But as I was saying, lately, that has changed. When she saw me lately she'd look down then a small blush would cover her face. The way Shiku used to be like. Now she has become more competitive, with who, I have no clue. She clings onto me more often now, and flirts openly. Not like how she used to be, she would reply with smarts with such confidence and knowingly that I could only imagine that she has rehearsed it.
I snap myself back to the present and see Asuka still standing in my presence, with that cute little blush still filling her face. I open my mouth to say something, but I thought better of it. I look down the stairs in the direction of the front door, I know my instincts are telling me to chase after Shiku, but something is keeping me here. But what?
I frown and then I chose to trust my instincts, I look at Asuka and give her a slight nod, "Remember to tell Shiku when-- if she comes back." The slightest doubt fills my mind that she wouldn't come back, I frown remembering the last time Shiku got mad at me, she destroyed 2 fields of grass later making our family pay for it, which isn't something that is weird, our family is practically the richest people for... I'm not sure, eternity?
Asuka looks up at me, nods slightly herself, "Alright, go." She says, apparently able to read my mind for what I want to do.
I give a grateful smile and sprint out the front door running on instinct to find Shiku.

You'll recognize something from a Rp?
Chapter 3 (Shiku's POV)
I walk through my usual path along the lake inside the forest, this lake water is pure and clean due to this being the sacred and legendary Lake of Purity. I take off my silver necklace around my neck that has my Ring of Purity strung onto it. I let it float onto the lake for a few seconds then remove it, placing it around my neck again. Then I plung into the water, not caring that I was soaking my clothes at all. I swim to the small chunk of land in the middle of the lake and as I come out of the lake. I notice a silver chain slip out from my neck, I grab at it, clasping it safely in my hands again I open my hands. I expect it to be the Ring of Purity, but instead it is a necklace that has 3 diamonds attached on strung onto another silver chain hanging downwards and on the end is a silver cross.
I gaze down upon it and smile, it was the Chain of Promise. Given to me by... Kiri. I close my eyes then give it a small kiss whispering under my breath, "Kiri..."
Shiku sat on the small island her feet splashing the water under her, Kiri was in the sky floating with his wings out. Shiku glanced out at the water seeing something that shimmered, she leaned forward hoping to catch a clear glance. She felt herself fall into the water, there was a loud splashing sound, then everything went dark.
Shiku coughed her vision still blurry, " Ki...ri?" his hair was wet and his clothes too.
" You're such a bother..." Kiri rolled his eyes.
Shiku grinned leaning over to hug Kiri, against her hair her cheek brushed against his and she felt the hotness on his cheeks. She kissed his cheek, " Thanks..." She smiled. " Promise... That you'll be with me forever..."
But things were different now... I sighed, I have been noticing the expression on Asuka's face whenever she passed Kiri. And to say the truth, I'm afraid... Afraid of losing his promise... Afraid of losing him.
I heard my name being called as I lost my train of thought.
"Shiku? Shiku!"
It was Kiri's voice, I knew it was him, I knew he would find me here. Is that why I came here? I turned around looking at him my wet hair slashing into my face, the wind was starting to brew up and my hair was flying wildly everywhere.
The instant he looked at me I could've died right there and I would've been happy, "Shiku?" he questioned, his voice full of concern. Sweat was running down his face and I could tell that he had been searching for me for a while now.
I smiled a bit at him, then I thought of the question, which's answer I was afraid to hear. But I knew with out hearing it I wouldn't be satisfied, "Kiri," I demanded softly. I closed my eyes and counted to three.
"Yes?"
I hesitated, pondering if I really wanted to know the answer. "..."
"Yes?" he repeated patiently.
"Do you still love me?"
I could tell that 10 different emotions crossed his face, sadness, indecisiveness, anger, longing, questioning, loving, fear, knowing, panic then finally calm remained on his face, "Ask me that again when I'm sure. For now, let's just go home."
I nodded, just content that the answer wasn't a "No."

Chapter 4 (Asuka's POV)
Why?
That has been the only thought that I've been thinking of since Kiri left me 2 hours ago. Why does he do that much for her? Why doesn't he ever notice me? Why? Why? Why?
I am still pondering this as I hear the front door creak open then finally creak shut again. I hear footsteps up the stairs so I regain my bored to death expression. We exchange a brief "Hey" as Shiku and Kiri walk into Shiku's room, Shiku's finger is interlocked with Kiri's as they walk in. A childish gesture. But love is a childish thing.
( I stole a line from A Korean Drama XD)

Chapter 5 (Shiku's POV)
Kiri's in my brain, I can feel his presence. We sat there me on my bed and him on my chair staring at each other, something we haven't done for a while. I replay the memory over and over again as he watches it in my mind. I know he is, cause that's the only thing I'm thinking of. I know he's prying at other things as well, but he seems to know to respect my privacy and he goes away from what is blocked by my mind barriers.
I frown wondering to myself why Kiri can't know about this. So I let him know. I let him know about Asuka.
"No," is his firm reply. "No," he repeats. "Asuka doesn't."
I take a big breath wondering why he is so clueless sometimes, "Haven't you noticed anything lately?" I whisper. "Haven't you been in her mind lately?"
He lowers his own voice, seeming to know that Asuka can hear us speak despite the sound proof door to my room, "No. Why would I be in her mind in the first place?"
"She's jealous."
"No, she isn't."
This was driving me insane, "What do you think has been making me so unsure of anything lately? There's competition around." My voice grows softer, "Competition for love." I pause for effect, "For you."
"No, she doesn't."
I nod as he shakes his head protesting the obvious truth. "Why are you protecting her?"
"I'm not!" he retorts. "That simply doesn't make sense." He pauses then carries on, "She hasn't done anything towards me, and if she was going to like me, she could've done it a long time ago, why now?"
I shake myself trying to keep calm, I open my mouth to say what I wanted to ask since we've gotten back, but I push it away, knowing the question would push away any sense of peace that we had between us at the moment.
He knows what I want to ask, and he looks down. We both are silenced by the unsaid question.
Ask me that again when I'm sure.
"...Why don't you know?"
Instead I open a drawer taking out a whole stack of calenders, "Do you know what these are?"
He looks up at me barely able to meet my eyes, and he shakes his head and looks down again.
"6 years..." I informed him, "For 6 years ever since that... time. That's how long I've loved you." I carry on becoming more firm with each word, "Are... we going to break those 6 years now?" I unhooked the necklace from my neck that he gave me, the Chain of Promise and I put it into his hand folding his hand up, "Are you... going to break that promise now?" my voice was shaking and quivering, but I willed myself to be firm, as though my life depended on it.
He looks down at his hand, obviously ashamed of what he knows is happening, "Shiku..." he starts to protest.
I shake my head as he looks up at me with a silent plea, he leans up to me, using the line that each of my foster parents had always used when I went berserk, but I still knew I would be returned to the orphanage like a broken toy.
"Kiss it to make it better..."
Knowing the childish moral wasn't true, and never would be, I put two fingers on his lips stopping him.
"No... return that back to me, when you are sure."
(Some of it is kinda sad later, chapter 7 I think)

Chapter 6 (Asuka's POV)
I heard it, all of it. Shiku knew I would, how could she? She knew my Fallen powers extended to the fact that I could hear the softest of whispers. I broke out into a sob... Bad move on my part.
There was a shifting in positions and Shiku walked out, leaving Kiri behind. She tried to smile, but I could tell she had been crying ever since she turned around so Kiri couldn't see. She managed to control her voice and stifle a few sobs, "Come on Asuka... we need to talk..."
I ran behind Shiku as she walked with a fast pace onto the roof, then she flew onto the roof of our school, Fallen High. I saw many people there, all drinking, and in the corner of the roof was a pack of bottles of wine. Shiku walked up and grabbed it heaving it into another corner before motioning me to sit down.
She gave me a bottle of soda while she took out a bottle of wine, "Drink that," she told me. "You're not experienced enough as a drinker, and I don't want to carry you back."
"No, I'm fine, give me a bottle," I protested.
Shiku paused for a second then nodded, "Okay, but if you get drunk, I'm not carrying you back." She looked up and closed her eyes a tear falling from the side of her eye. She sighed, "I shouldn't drink today... Kiri will get mad..."
It was just a breathy whisper, but my ears picked it up. She drank about half the bottle with her first drink, then she mixed a bottle of Sprite into the wine. We sat in silence just drinking bottle after bottle, after a while Shiku asked, "Asuka... Why? Why does it have to be Kiri?"
I looked at her with plain fear, but calmness to my eyes, "Because... That's just how it is." I knew this line seemed harsh, but I wanted Shiku to give up before this turned into sister rivalry.
She looked up at me with emotionless eyes, I knew she was breaking, but I didn't feel the least bit of guilt. Maybe it was because I was too jealous, maybe it was because I was wasted on the wine.
...Maybe it was because I loved him just too much.
(Shiku drinks too much? XD)

Chapter 7 (Shiku's POV)
I led Asuka to the sparring dojo, thankfully no one was there because it was lunch hour. I walked in gripping onto Asuka behind me, I whipped the cloth out of the way. And on the sign on the sparring dojo, I switched the fight about to happen from private to public. "No weapons, just fists and feet. No wings, no elements, no swords, no nothing."
Asuka seemed to understand, but she didn't back down. So it began.
I sweep kicked her to start, she dodged but not fast enough so I just hit her right leg. She grimaced feeling the pain shoot up her leg, but she was just as fast to counterattack, she aimed for my head and kicked from the right. I bent back into a backflip kicking her leg out of the way. I jabbed at her head, but she tilted to the right her leg meeting to my waist.
I fell back sweat beads were forming on my head, but this was when it was just getting started. People were starting to walk in, knowing this would be a worthy fight to watch because we were so evenly matched. We had began martial arts practice at the same age, at the same level, ending at the same level of black belt. This was a pure match of will.
I put my black fighting gloves on as she mirrored my move, I started with a jab to her chest then upon hitting her I kept going with my string of moves, each one fast, but calculated. I elbowed her stomach then gripped her by the shoulders flinging her down onto the wooden floor. She landed with a backflip, but she winced as her fingers cracked under her from the impact of the throw.
From there we were fighting, every punch and jab blocked, every kick stopped. The pure test of will was on a thread so breakable, it seemed as though both of us would fall over soon in a second in defeat.
But then I saw from the corner of my eye just what we were fighting for...
Kiri.
I let my guard down for just the second, long enough for her to land a kick on my back square, but she wasn't done she held me by my hand and flung me at the nearby wooden wall. I closed my eyes as I fell with a thud onto the floor, when I opened them again one was icy blue while the other was pure silver. Her eyes were both blood red, as if daring me to continue she took a step forward at me then stuck out her tongue. "Tired already?" she taunted.
Everyone took about 2 steps back as they saw my eyes, those were the eyes of lust for pure death. That's when it happened, I went berserk.
I jumped out into position again, cracking my neck in the process. I lunged at Asuka kicking both of her ankles with speed I could only achieve when I was berserk. A look of pain crossed her face, but that only fueled me up more. I punched at each of her pressure points on her back. She fell onto her knees panting hard, her face was full of pain and tears were starting to jerk at her eye.
I was about to finish her off when a voice rang out, "Enough. Shiku, you win." My eyes turned to whoever had made the statement, I was about ready to kill the person, until my eyes landed on the stern look on Kiri's face. My eyes immediately darkened back into their original color.
"Kiri..." I whispered my legs collasping under me.
He walked toward me and I thought he was about to pick me up and bring me back to my room, like all the other times I went berserk. But he walked past me hitting me in my shoulder as he walked past and he picked Asuka up. He murmured a quick, "Are you okay?"
Before Asuka smiled and nodded and he carried her out of the dojo.
I stared at them, paralyzed. I didn't even have the last ounce of will or strength to stand up and walk back into my room, my head raised high with victory. I sat there, looking pathetic and whispered a incantation that teleported me into my room. I buried my head into my pillow, crying... tears of defeat.

Chapter 8 (Kiri's POV)
I don't know what I did, I don't know what instinct took over me to shield Asuka like that. For the past hour I've been trying to convince myself that it was just because Shiku was berserk and I didn't want Asuka to die. But then... why didn't I carry Shiku back, like every other time? Why did I chose Asuka over Shiku this time? I sat on a chair next to Asuka's bed where she was laying, slowly recovering from the pain that Shiku had caused.
I sat there just thinking, making my brain hurt from the one possibility that kept popping up in my head.
I loved Asuka.
The logical side of my brain was trying to rack my brain for another reason, not wanting to believe the bizarre truth.
"Mmm... Kiri?" Asuka questioned waking up from her state of pure pain.
"..." I looked around to see who called my name, expecting it to be Shiku, hoping it to be. "Huh? What Sh--" I looked down at Asuka, my eyes a bit sad, "Asuka," I corrected myself.
She seemed to disregard it or not notice, "Thank you."
"Mmm hmm."

Chapter 9 (Asuka's POV)
I sat up as Kiri spooned me some porridge, gently blowing on it before he spooned it into my mouth. I smiled watching as the wind coming from the window was blowing through his long silver hair. As soon as I finished the porridge he put it on my dresser next to my bed and he set his head down on my bed, sighing with what I could imagine was guilt.
"Kiri?"
Silence.
I think he is asleep... But I carry on not caring, "I love you."
Still silence.
I smile, just a small curve on my lips. "Good night."

Chapter 10 (Kiri's POV)
I watch Asuka, and wait till she's completely asleep before I walk out the door. No... It can't be... Upon just hearing Asuka's confession, I still refuse to believe the truth, but in my heart and soul I know it is true.
I walk to the door of Shiku's room, I knock on her door. Upon hearing silence I invite myself in, "Shiku?"
She looks at me with blood shot eyes, "What do you want?" she asks, managing to keep her anger from overflowing, I have to give her credit for that much. I stand there not responding. "What do you want?" she repeats.
"Asuka likes me," I inform her, which probably sounded stupid cause it was something she already knew.
"Yeah? And what about it, you like her too?" she pauses for effect. "Well, I don't want to know, and I don't really care."
I stand there silenced, I know that Shiku is just in her state of anger. I look over to the side of her bed and a whole packful of wine bottles sit there in a messy pile, there's some on her bed to as well as her dresser. This angers me, I've told her before not to drink when I'm not around, I've told her before to only drink when I'm around. I told her before to not get drunk.
"Who gave you permission to drink?" I demand.
"Me."
"Did you ask me first?"
"Why do I have to ask you?"
"Because..." I stop, I have nothing to say to this, I wasn't prepared enough.
"I thought so," she flings a bottle at me the bottle just barely hitting me it hits the door behind me and it hits it with such force that it shatters on the ground.
I know that wasn't aimed at me, Shiku would never miss me. She did it on purpose.
"Now go. Or next time I won't miss," as if to prove her point she flings another one at me just barely hitting me again, on the other side. "Go away!" she shouts, breaking into a fit of sobs.
I walk up to her kissing her soft lips then I walk out the door with out any words.

Chapter 11 (Shiku's POV) I touch my lips for a second, and I remember. I remember how we used to be, how he used to love me. How all of that has faded away. And... I miss him, so much. When I was small, I lived in an orphanage, because I had killed my parents after going berserk. I had the bed at the right corner of the orphanage, right next to a window so if rain started to pour I'd be soaking wet. The other orphans had always known I was dangerous so none of them ever came up to me. I didn't mind it that much, I would sit in my corner everyday eating the horrid lunches they served us that were actually much more fit for pigs. I was happy by myself, you see, I've had been a loner all my life. No parents, no brothers, no sisters... I've never even had a friend. I was happy, until the bullying began. There was this gang of girls that got taken to the orphanage, they hated me... I never understood why. I had my hair pulled, my clothes ripped, my blanket stolen, my bed poured on with cold water. None of those things ever bothered me. Until one day they crossed the line. They each ganged up on me, hitting me senseless until I couldn't even move my pinky. Then they dragged me by my long black hair. One of the girl's exclaimed, "I don't like your hair, so I think I'll just cut it off..." Then she just cut it, my long hair that I planned on donating to the hospital when it got longer. It was only down to my shoulders now. Upon cutting it, they just dropped me, my head hitting the cold floor. "Give me the matches," one of them ordered, the younger girl lit it giving it to who I could tell was probably the leader. First they started to burn my clothes then after they got bored with that... They started to burn me. I shrieked with pain and started to writh on the ground, crying while suffering. One of the girls held a cup of what I could guess was oil to the leader. I stared at them with wide eyed horror, "No... please..." I begged them, I looked up at them to search for any sympathy in their eyes, but their eyes were simply full with malice, a want of death. Then a silver haired boy walked into the room, gazing at the girls coolly. "What the fuck are you doing?" I was most impressed by his use of bad words, he gazed at me, and then the fire immediately extinguished. The leader looked back at the girl who had the matches and the bottle of oil, "Light another one, and pour the oil on." The girl dropped the match, but the silver haired boy caught it and also flung the oil out of the way, right out the window. I looked up at him, did he want to torture me too? Was that what it was about, taking turns hurting me? I screamed, immediately going berserk. I literally tore each of the girls limb to limb, their organs were ripped out and thrown all over the floor, blood splattering in a bloody mess around me. After I finished, I looked at the silver haired boy, the last one left. I was just about to do the same to him when he looked at me with a calm gaze then kissed me. I turned back normal, both eyes black. Maybe that's when I fell in love... With him... ( Line stolen from Kyou's poem ^^;;

Chapter 12 (Kiri's POV)
There was this one time when we were small, I saved Shiku. At that time we lived in an orphanage, both of us, at that time, I had already developed my power as a Fallen. However, my parents were both killed... Anyhow, I saved her when we were small. I looked upon her as my little sister, despite the fact that she and I had never talked much, she was always the loner. Maybe the reason I helped her was because she was much like me, on the surface it looked as if she was always happy.
But then, she saved me too.
After a few years later, when I was 12 and she was 11, she had gotten adopted by the Usachis. Due to her ability of berserkness, she had gotten adopted by the Usachis who had a want for such children with such powers. In the beginning when we just joined the family, not much happened. She was just as quiet as she was before, she sat by herself despite the gentle children of the family.
I grew used to it however, a year later. She ran away from home. No one had went out to find her, despite my protests.
"Why aren't you going to go find her!" I shouted loudly.
"...The girl can do what she wishes."
"Then why did you adopt her?" I challenged.
Silence.
"Because we didn't want her to fall into the wrong hands." So I went to go find her, I wandered into a nearby forest, and discovered a lake there, what I now know as the Lake of Purity. We sat there as she was crying, then after a while when she stopped I flew around to keep her occupied. At this time, she still hadn't changed much, even though she was a 12 year old now. She never changed much, the Usachis had thought it was because of the shock of everything that happened to her when she was small. I knew different, she needed someone.
I was going to be that someone.
She plunged into the water, I thought at first she had jumped in, but when she didn't come up and there was ripples and splashes everywhere I realized the truth.
She couldn't swim.
I hurriedly dove into the water, she was starting to drown unconsiously. Oh fuck... I thought. I hugged her tightly then swam back to the surface softly kissing her forehead, "It's okay now..." I said reassuringly even though I knew she wouldn't hear.
That's when I promised her, and gave her the Chain of Promise. I'd never leave her again. And I have never broken that promise.
Until now.

Total OOCness on Kiri's part
Chapter 13 (Asuka's POV)
I smile, walking to Kiri's room, I knock then wait politely.
There's a click, "Sh--... Hi Asuka..." Kiri greets almost sadly.
"Hello Kiri!" I smile, overlooking the name he was going to say. He may be thinking about Shiku now, but that would soon change. "Can I come in?"
I walk in, sitting on his bed crossing my legs politely. "I wanted to thank you for today, thank you for saving me. If you hadn't stopped Shiku, she might've slaughtered me."
"Probably not."
"What makes you say that?"
"Shiku is a nice person, she'd never hurt anyone she loves..."
I grimace at that, "Anyway, I want to thank you for today." I kiss him, on the lips. I lick at his lips requesting an entrance.
Kiri stares at me with a hard stare, but he lets my tongue go through anyway. We engage in a battle of tongues, just me at first, but then he starts to dance with my tongue as well. He holds my head and deepens the kiss and we both close our eyes.
It's not polite to stare when kissing.

Chapter 14 (Shiku's POV)
I wipe all my tears away, somewhat sad that Kiri wasn't the one helping me wipe my tears away, like all the other times. I wash my face a few times as if to wash away the pain of Kiri choosing Asuka over me. I feel kind of bad for yelling at Kiri, when he did so much for me in the past, he saved me. Twice!
I walk over to Kiri's room smiling. I hear dead silence in the house, everyone is probably asleep. I can probably stay in Kiri's room overnight then.
The door is open a crack and I peer inside to check if Kiri's in the room. What I see makes me fall to my knees, creaking the door open even wider. I feel tears jerking at my eyes...
Kiri and Asuka are kissing on the bed. ...On my and Kiri's bed... Feeling powerless I think to myself.
No... Kiri... How could you?

I just noticed thoughts aren't Italicized, but meh, too lazy
Chapter 15 (Kiri's POV)
I hear the door creak open and I let go of Asuka, looking at the doorway.
Shiku.
"It's not what it seems!" I shout.
But I could tell her whole being was telling her, that it was...
I look to Asuka, and her expression is unreadable, it is somewhere in between a smug victory and a sense of pity.
No...
Shiku it's not what it seems...
But she is already broken. She runs fast away, I push Asuka out of the way, not seeing the shock that crossed her face when I did. I run after her really fast, but obviously since of Shiku's bad mood she runs much faster. The door slams shut and it is locked. I kneel down in front of the door, and I whisper, "Sorry..." I whisper it a few more times, pounding my fist on her door.
Shit.
