'Oh gee...why did the maid have to send me out for this much food, and not even hand me an Umbrella?' Guy was running in the rain, avoiding puddles to get safely back to the manor, weighted down several bags of food in his arms, and hanging from his fingers. He was only a young man, the maids could've sent him out with someione else to help, but they didn't. Guy frowned, but knew he needed toget the job done, so he could ten d to Luke when he got back.
His whole body shivered as he kept getting soaked, more and more deeply to the bone, shaking his head every so often to see properly. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of red hair steal away behind a building. 'Luke! What's he doing out here!' Guy was a bit concerned for his young master, if it truly was he sulking about in the current weather. 'Darn it all...now I'll have to bring him back along with the food.'
Guy ran fast around the back of a building to the dark alley way beyond. He dropped some of the bags he carried in order to move faster and catch up the the retreating hair slick against the figure in the rain. Seeing the figure stop in the dark Guy skidded to a hault and called out to him. "Luke! What are you-?" The boy turned around, long red hair plastered to his head, his cloak heavy with rain, slapping against his legs as he shifted his weight. This wasn't Luke, it was someone else, but who?
The boy's face was angry, Guy could see green eyes burning at him as they stared each other down. His mouth opened, then quickly closed, as if he wanted to yell something at the blond swordsman, but stopped himself. "What are you doing...Why are you following me!" Guy licked his lips when the other male spoke, his eye wide with shock. This boy looked like Luke, and yet he was someone else. "Fine then, if you won't answer me...I'll have to knock you out!" The red head pulled out a sword from his side, the blade almost as big as himself.
Guy stumbled back as the young boy charged, taken by surprise by the sudden rush of anger, the rain making the ground slipery. He unsheathed his own sword just in time to block the strike, the rain making his vision blurry. The hit was low, and quick enough to knock Guy to the ground in the slick rain, the boy was indeed angry, no doubt about that. He fell onto his back, and lashed out with his legs, kicking at the red head, who danced backwards away, setting up to strike again. "Who are you!" Getting to his feet he held his stance steady, shivering from the cold rain pouring down upon them unrelentingly.
"Have you really forgotten me...Guy?" The boy's face was contorted in anger, Guy wasn't sure if he was crying or if the rain was streaming down the boy's cheeks in that way. He blinked a few times, staring at him confused.
This kid...they knew each other? The blond was stumped, why did he look like Luke, and how did he know his name? "I don't even know you! How do you know who I am, and why do you look like Luke!" He gripped the handle of his sword and sheathe tightly, gritting his teeth.
The boy glared at Guy, and yelled back. "After 3 years, are you really so stupid? I was once 'Luke' but that name is gone...now my name is Asch."
