Chapter One: Naru's Story
"Tell me, please…." Mai kept bugging me and bugging me, to the point I can feel a vein pop out of irritation.
"No," is my solid answer for her. We lay together on our bed, watching TV, in a Saturday evening. Mai seems to be bored out of her mind, since there's nothing to watch, so she clicks it off and place the remote on the side.
"Come on, I told the story three years ago, I want to hear your point of view. It was hard to think of it." She protested. I raised a brow, crossing my legs.
"You expect me to remember the story that you told three years ago? I can't even remember what we did on our honeymoon two years ago." I told her half the lie, I smirked, watching her pink cheeks turn red.
"Oi, yes you do. Don't change the subject." She suddenly looks down at her ring finger and smiled peacefully, while rubbing her silver wedding ring.
"I'm not. Seriously, the story was so bland, that I erased most of the facts." I admitted, she snaps her head up and gave me a dark look.
"It wasn't bland, it had an adventure, thriller, and most of all, good romance." She blushes even more at her words.
"Good romance? That wasn't romance, it was more desire. You admitted in our honeymoon that." but her eyes flew open, covering my mouth, for a reason her reaction cause me to chuckle.
"It was good romance; I fell in love with you in my story, because you are always protecting me and such. In real life, you weren't like that, dark and mysterious, and attractive. Well, yes, but not that mysterious, and you talk a lot more than my story. Also in real life, you are always protected me from a ghost or random things. The point is, I did. I want you to tell me your point of view. You can change things if you want. I want to learn more about your character, what ran in your mind, when you were doing things for me, or when you were alone and such."
I sigh, shaking my head.
"How should I know? You made it up, fine, if I tell you, will you drop it?" she gets on her knees, watching her, wearing my own black shirt covering little of her front, since she didn't button the first three buttons giving me a good view of her milky skin. I cleared my throat and glance somewhere else...
"I will. It's been bothering for years now. I never thought of your point of view, because it was hard to think of it. I'm not good doing men's point of view."
"Is easy, men aren't too far from women, but less emotional in a way," I told her honestly. Mai pouts at me and takes a hold of my hand.
"Still, tell me your point of view."
"Okay, but let me warn you, it won't be a safe rating." I suddenly told her. She arched a brow.
"Hmm?" she knitted her brows together, confused by my sudden words. I pinch the bridge of my nose and breathed out.
"We have been married for two years; think about it, what we do when we are alone and um." I cleared my throat, feeling uncomfortable even speaking about it. Not sure why, though. She still looks so innocent, even when we were on our honeymoon, she was freaking out. I was nervous as well, but somehow, we manage. It was a beautiful first time for the both of us. I felt warm at the memories.
"Err, we either solve cases, I go to school, and we are alone, we go on dates, or stay home. Oh, and we play at times, or make love," then her eyes widen.
"Oh, that. You're going to add that?" I felt my cheeks warm up but nodded.
"You'll see what I mean. My version won't be as clean as yours. Is all I can say." My wife's cheeks blaze up, but she nodded.
"Okay. Whatever you want to put while it follows my own story, is okay."
"Alright, so for my wife's modesty, I will tell you the story of Poisonous, but in my view." Then something flashes in my mind, the last parts of the story, where she said, I was telling her that she was my cure. I smirked, now sitting up, and turned to face her.
"The story is called Cure. Since I was your poison, you will be my Cure. It shall go a little different since I can't remember a lot, but."
"Cure, I love it, fits perfectly. I'll fill in the gaps if you want." She insisted. I mentally groan.
"Fine, but not a lot, cause I want to add extra's, okay." Mai nods and smiled at me, as she leans down. She takes my arm and pulls me down.
"Mai?" she lays on my chest and smiles at me, looking like a child, ready to hear a story. I move my hand to stroke her hair.
"You're happy." I chuckle, and Mai nods.
"Of course, is hard to get you to do things. Now," she wiggles, causing me to groan, how good that felt, as she places her cheek on my chest, closing her eyes.
"Your heart is racing?"
"Hmm." I had no words with that. She always makes my heart race. No matter how many years goes by.
"Now, tell me the story, Cure." She murmurs. I rolled my eyes, but wrap my arms around her, as she glances up at me.
"Okay… Now, this won't start as Once upon a time, it will start with Hate.."
Hate, hate is a powerful emotion, which can incarnate in anyone's mind and heart. It can penetrate into the simple, innocent soul once the horror is inflicted on the innocent.
I will never, ever forgive that woman, even if it kills me.
"Noll, take out the empty barrel!" I heard at a distance, feeling the hot humid weather penetrating into my skin. Not even inside the mines anyone can be saved. Sure, it shields us from the sun rays, but it does little from the humidity.
Wiping my forehead with my arm, I place down my ax, and turned towards Lin, which he placed his mining hat down, and glance at me with a simple look.
"Go, I'll cover you," he says. I nodded at him, as a thank you and headed out, down the narrow path, that is filled with barrels of crystals, and other men working hard. I turned towards my right, to see the empty barrel, and headed towards it.
Clenching into the metal edges, I start to push it, towards the opening of the mine, feeling tired already.
"Oi, Noll, how's it going?" I heard in my right. I turned around to see Housho smiling, as he places his hat on. I stopped and turned to face him.
"Same." Were all the words that came out of my mouth, Housho squints his eyes together, and then he sighs.
"You sure need to speak more. I have known you for years now, and never will you give me a sentence." He shakes his head in a defeated matter.
'Why? There's no reason to speak it is not necessary. Talking is a useless tool, when there's nothing to gain by it.' I thought, watching Housho, smile of the sudden.
"You know, since Madoka has gotten pregnant, Ayako wants a baby as well." I arched a brow at his sudden words, and then I smirked.
"Work hard." Was all I said watching his cheeks turn slightly red?
"Oi, don't speak to me like that, you aren't even wed, so. Oh, forget it. You hate woman. You wouldn't even know how they feel when you have a woman in your arms. Try someday. Fall in love Noll. The moment you do, trust me, you don't want to let her go." He winks, turning around to head deeper into the mine. I rub the back of my neck and started to push the barrel. Finally reaching the outside, I glance up at the sunny sky, blocking my eyes away from it, using my hand, I had a sudden memory.
'Kill him if you want to save your life.' Her voice seems like a banshee; her piercing eyes mocked me while I watch my brother look at me with wide terrified eyes. I shook like a leaf, petrified.
I lifted my gaze up to see the Queen waiting for my answer.
"Hey Noll, are you going to stand there all day, or move the damn barrel." I heard, snapping me out of my memories. I lower my hand and gave Jordan a long stare. He cleared his throat.
"Young men these days have no respect for their elders." He complains, running his shaky hands through his thick black hair while his wrinkle eyes seem to become slim.
Without a word, I started to push it once again, to park it next to the other empty ones, which are on my right. Placing in order, I place my hands on my hips and shook my head.
'We're running out of diamonds, this is not good. How can Lin and Madoka live? If we don't have enough money, and Madoka earns so little.' The thought is killing me truly. Since they are the closest thing as parents I have ever had.
'Should I move out? I think it's time.' With that thought lingering in my head, I went back to work.
…
"Don't worry, soon everything will play out." Lin pats my back for assurance, as we walk down the path to pick up his wife. I frowned, looking up at the twilight sky.
"Hope so." I murmured, watching the trees casting a shadow over us.
"You know, I heard a rumor." He suddenly catches my attention, making me look at Lin. I raised a brow, crossing my arms. We left our equipment back home before coming to pick up Madoka.
"The princess will marry soon. Don't you think is strange that she hasn't wed yet?" he suddenly brought the subject up.
"Don't care." Is my answer to him, Is not like I will ever meet her, even if I do, I wouldn't even care. All I want is the queen head, plaster in my room. The dark thought causes me to shiver a little.
"Never have we seen her, but those who have said she's a very beautiful young woman. So I find it strange that she hasn't married yet. I heard the prince of the western lands will marry her." I wonder where in the world would he know this information, but then again, I never ask him.
"I heard it through some soldiers while I passed by a few days ago when I had to go and buy some wheat." He answers my thought question.
"Noll, your twenty-six, I know you hate woman, I know your past, but can't you start open yourself up to a woman trust me, it will help. I know some young girls that are at the age of marrying, and," but I speed my walk, not wanting to hear that.
'I will never fall in love, nor do I want to marry.' I answer him, but my actions said enough for him.
"Sorry Noll, I didn't mean to offend you. I am worried, that you will never marry and end up as a bitter old man. You are a handsome young man, and you should waste it in revenge." Lin sounded sad, as I stop and turned to face him.
"Don't worry." Was all I said and kept on walking, trying to get rid of my sudden anger?
..
"Here you go, eat." Madoka stuff loaf bread in my hand. I blinked, but shyly nodded at her. Returning from her workshop, heading for our cottage,
"I don't get it; you're such a child at times. It's so cute. Shame you don't want to marry." Madoka pinches my cheek while I ate the bread she offers me.
"Leave him be, let's hurry to the house, Madoka needs to rest." Lin groans as Madoka place her hand on her round stomach.
"I'm pregnant not injured." She snaps at him, falling behind so she can speak to me. I licked my lips and blinked at her.
"Are you okay? You look a little pale." She takes notice of my situation. I shrug at her and glance at my bread.
"Yes, tired," I told her. She sighs, and pats my back.
"I'll make some dinner, go and take a good hot bath. Rest, you work too hard." She sounded worried. I nodded at her, watching our cottage come to view, in doing so, a sudden eerie feeling passes through me.
Finally reaching our cottage, Lin raises his head while a strong aroma of hot soup aroused our senses.
"Is someone in our cottage?" Madoka asks, taking my hand, fear shot through her eyes. So I smooth her hand in a conferring way while Lin comes up to us.
"Stay here, we will check it out." Madoka shook her head in disagreement and glance at her husband.
"Let's go in the back way, catch whoever is in there by surprise." We both nodded at her plan, we all went around the cottage, and I move forward.
"Stay," I told both. Lin held his wife's waist, and nods. I nodded back, and gently open the door; a sudden bark caught me off guard.
"A dog?" I heard Lin ask. I shrug and open the door. Entering, I move quietly, remembering my younger days, when I stole things, for the hell of it, or to help the poor.
Reaching towards the front, my eyes widen to see a small woman closing the door, and a small white dog turning around to bark at me. My eyes roam her small stand. Her hair is a silky long brown color, and her feet are covered with blood and mud. For a reason, my heart thumps oddly. For the first time in a long time. Moving quietly, I saw her back go rigid, and before I could think, I wrap my hand around her mouth and pinned her against me. The sudden contact, cause me to feel odd. Not sure where to place it. All I knew, she felt fragile in my arms. To the point that she can break at any moment. Even though she smelled bad, mix with blood and sweat, a sweet aroma lavender mix in as well. One thing is for sure. She felt warm. Very warm, that it felt almost intoxicated. Snapping out of my deep thoughts, I lower my head, and smirked, as my eyes turn cold, not letting no woman interfere with my life. So I tried my best to sound intimating.
"Who the hell are you?"
I hope everyone will like this version, to see Noll real thoughts during Poisonous. Mind my grammar isn't good. Good day and God bless.
