"Hey, hey! I have something to tell Sanemi today." you chanted as you walked towards his dojo. It's no secret to anyone, it's obvious you're in love with the wind pillar, Sanemi Shinazugawa. Every day you'd tell him that you love him, and he'll just tell you off every single time. It was obvious that he didn't like you.

Everyone wondered why you fell for him, but they weren't complaining about it either.

"Sanemi~❤" you sang as you entered his dojo. You searched around for him but he was nowhere to be seen, concluding that he wasn't home. So you waited until he came back.

You seated outside, twiddling your thumbs as you waited for him. Its been more than an hour ever since you arrived.

"Maybe he went to go kill some demons..." you mumbled, even though you knew it was his day off. Was he avoiding you?

"You don't understand Kanroji, she annoying!" he yelled. Sanemi was hiding away in Misturi's home.

"[Name] isn't annoying, " Misturi said. She patted Sanemi on the shoulder. "What makes you think she is?"

"She always follows me around telling me that she loves me."

"And how do you reply to her?" Misturi asked.

"Like how I always act, I tell her off!"

"That's no way to reject someone. You have to let them down easy." Mitsuri instructed.

"Why? Isn't that the best way to get your points across," Sanemi asked.

Mitsuri puffed her cheeks and sat Sanemi down. She explained why it's not right to let someone down like that, it's always best to do it kindly.

"Hah?" Sanemi said while scratching the back of his head.

"You know what, try hanging out with her. You'll see that she isn't that bad," Mitsuri instructed.

"Wanna bet?"

"Let's bet some ohagi!" she said smiling confidently.

"Deal."

"Where is-." you stopped midsentence to see Sanemi returning. You hoisted yourself up and ran up to him.

"You're finally home!" you lunged at him and trapped him in a hug. To your surprise, he didn't push you away. You let go of him thinking that he was ill in some way. He stared at you with displeasure in his eyes, this was natural but it didn't feel as intense as the other ones.

"[Name]..." he began.

"What is it Sanemi?" you asked him.

"Would you like to accompany me for a walk?" he asked.

You held your face as it heated up. What kind of reaction is this? It should be normal to accompany someone on a walk...

"I-I would love too!" you shouted.

"Shut it," he demanded.

"Apologizes..." you said scratching your head.

The walk was mostly quiet between you two. You'd just spent your time staring at him and admiring every single scar he had. He'd often catch you staring at him and call you a pervert, even though his uniform is unbuttoned for everyone to see his marvellous abs.

"Sanemi..." you called.

"What?"

"Do you hate me?" you asked him.

"No, I just find you annoying," he answered.

"Is telling you how I feel annoying?" you questioned.

"Yes," he bluntly answered. Your right eye closed as you held your heart. You stopped in your tracks, Sanemi did as well just a little ahead of you. You both made eye contact for a moment.

"I'm sorry to annoy you but, I won't stop anytime soon," you said holding your right hand to your chest.

Sanemi eyes widened, as he felt his heart skip a beat. His speedily walked up to you and flicked your forehead, hiding the pink hue of his face. You rubbed your forehead trying to lessen the pain.

It's been a week since you started hanging out with Sanemi. Slowly but eventually he started to warm up to you. Soon you learned about the bet he made with Mitsuri, but you didn't mind. You were quite thankful that they made that bet. Without it, Sanemi would've still thought you were annoying. He still does though, just not as much.

Another week passed by and Sanemi started to get frustrated around you. You didn't do anything that would trigger him in such a way. Whenever you were around him, he'd lash out and start attacking people near him leaving you unharmed.

One day, you had him cornered in a place that wasn't used as much, so you both were alone.

"Sanemi Shinzugawa! What is your problem?" you yelled at him.

His cheeks had a tint of red on it. He avoided looking into your eyes. "W-what do you mean?" he stuttered.

"You've been getting mad lately and attacking people," you answered. "I know it quite normal for you to act like this but, why?"

"You wanna know why? I'll tell you why."

"Go on then."

"Reject me and I'll slaughter your a*s," he said.

"Reject...?" you said putting your index finger on your lips.

Sanemi removed your finger from your face and jammed his lips on yours. It took you some time to process what had happened, so you just stood frozen for five seconds until you realized it.

He broke contact and stared at you. "I like you..." he mumbled.

"What was that?"

He grabbed your right ear and yelled into it, "I LIKE YOU!"

He pushed you aside and ran off. You watched as he exited. You rubbed your right ear, as the pain died down, you began to play with it. You were filled with joy that you skipped all the way back in excitement, hoping to see him tomorrow and tell him how you feel. Even though he already knows it.
