"For the 16th time! How do YOU know ROKUSHO?!" Metabee hollered at Foxfire. The FOX type was getting a large headache from his LOUD interrogations.
They were inside the Hop Mart and Foxfire had been calmly sitting on a spin stool at the counter when Metabee had barged into the store and sat up RIGHT beside her, although that part wasn't any different, but this time he had started wanting answers.
He wanted answers of how she knew Rokusho and what his deal was. Answers of why she had never told him about Rokusho. Answers of how WELL she knew Rokusho. And answers of how CLOSE she and Rokusho were.
"For the LAST time, Metabee! It's none of your business! Rokusho and I are friends, and that's all you really need to know! How many times do I have to tell you that?!" Foxfire rested her head on the counter, facing away from Metabee's direction.
"And how many times do *I* have to tell you that I don't buy that! There is something going on between you two!"
The others had their own ideas of Foxfire and Rokusho's relationship. Ikki thought they were old Robattling buddies. Brass, thank AKI for that 'bot, believed Foxfire and thought that they were just old friends.
Erika was another story. Erika believed that Foxfire and Rokusho were secretly once evil minions to an underground lord and then aliens had abducted Rokusho, thus breaking their bond. And they had just met once again just last week, when Metabee had first met Rokusho. That's what Erika got for going to online paranormal news writers.com.
And, as you already know, Metabee thought that Rokusho and Foxfire were old lovers.
"Metabee why can't you just trust me and BELIEVE me?" Foxfire asked, giving out a sad tone.
"I DO trust you! It's Rokusho the Meda-bum I don't trust! I never trust hobos." Metabee folded his arms, looking quite miffed.
"But can't you believe me at least? It really hurts to know that you can't take my word for something, you know?" Foxfire rubbed her arm uncomfortably, giving him a hurt look.
The KBT's emerald green optics rose wide. He hadn't known that he was hurting Foxfire's feelings!
"F-Foxfire. I'm sorry. I do believe you, really I do. I-I guess I was just jealous and got a little carried away with things." Metabee waited for an answer from her.
Foxfire mentally smiled at him. "I'm glad you believe me. Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna go for a little walk." Little walk always meant run around the city.
"Euh sure, I guess. Where to?"
Foxfire shrugged, with Metabee asking more and more questions, she needed to clear her head. Maybe get some fresh air for her headache.
"Just around. Don't worry, I'll be home later. Maybe we could watch a documentary together." She hopped off her stool and walked out.
"Yeah... sure. Sounds great." Metabee smiled nervously, trying to keep a cool with her. Ever since Rokusho had arrived he'd been so suspicious of her. It was like she was acting so much more differently with him. Not looking him in the optics as much. Not watching TV with him as much. Not even talking to him as much as she used to.
She went out for 'walks' more often, saying she was going 'just around'.
The KBT sighed, even though he knew he trusted Foxfire as much as he trusted Ikki, she made it so hard for him.
---------------
Foxfire leapt from lamppost, to rooftop, and so on. She loved feeling so free by jumping and falling through the air. It was one of the things that made her truly happy.
She made it to a building that was currently in construction, metal framing were all that had been done so far. She took a landing on a metal beam at the top of the building, trying to get a good glimpse of the whole city.
But unfortunately for her, carpenters and construction workers had decided to get busy today and were using all sorts of power tool machines. And even if she tried to find another spot of the city she liked, there'd just be more and more sounds to worsen her headache.
Foxfire sighed. "Maybe I should just go visit Akura instead."
She jumped down and headed towards the city hospital. The large white facility was coming into her view as soon as she had gotten a jump-start to the run. But there was something else at the hospital. Something on the roof to be exact.
'What the- is that him?' Foxfire asked herself, suddenly getting excited. The thing on the hospital was beginning to show more detail as she got closer. It was white and brown, with blue horns. 'Oh it must be him!'
Foxfire made her landing on the rooftop of the hospital and gazed at the figure. It was a Medabot with white armor and red almond-shaped optics. He had two large blue horns protruding from his head and there was a patch of blue metal on the top of his head, glistening in the sunlight. He had a dirty and weatherworn cloak, brown from age and dirt. The cloak hid most of his body.
The Medabot was staring out at the city at the edge of the roof, he was leaning down on the ledge. Foxfire walked up beside him and leaned down as well.
"Good morning Foxfire." The Medabot greeted in a warm tone. She nodded.
"It is now, Rokusho." She mentally smiled glad to be near him. "How have you been?"
"Well. And you? I noticed you've recently found someone." Rokusho was prodding the topic about her and Metabee.
"In a way yes. But I'm no more than a friend to him."
"Does he know that? I've seen the KBT around you. He seems quite infatuated by you." Foxfire sighed. 'Can't hide anything from you, Rokusho.'
"Yeah, you could say that. But I'm kinda saving my heart for someone else, y'know?" Rokusho nodded.
"I do, but he should know that as well."
"Yeah, as always you're right." Foxfire stared out into the city, watching the ants known as people walk by in the streets.
"Well on another note, how is Akura? I tried to go into her room, but a nurse shooed me away with a broom." Foxfire giggled.
"Her heart rate has gone down to a normal pulse. But now the doctors are worried about her blood pressure." Her optics turned to a sad expression. Rokusho noticed it.
"Foxfire, do you still worry of Akura's health?" He asked. Foxfire blinked in surprise and looked at Rokusho.
"What?"
"Do you still worry that Akura might not live through this?" Rokusho looked completely serious.
Foxfire shrugged. "Sometimes I do, sometimes I wonder if she might just not wake up at all."
"You shouldn't. You really shouldn't worry about such a strong soul as Akura. Do you know what I worry about?" Foxfire shook her head for a 'no'. "I worry about you."
Foxfire's optics widened as she looked over to him. "Y-you do? W-why? Why worry about me?"
"Because of the way you depress yourself with Akura. I worry that you'll let your sadness ruin things for you. But mainly I worry that if I leave for too long and finally come back, you'll have changed into someone I don't know. A different Medabot."
Foxfire was speechless. He worried about her changing because she got herself down too much? She hadn't known he had worried for her like that.
"R-Rokusho. I-"
"AHA! So THAT'S where you WERE! YOU LIED!" Foxfire was interrupted by a large and loud voice from below. Both Medabots looked down and saw Metabee with Erika, Ikki and Brass. The KBT looked severely ticked off and was yelling his audio transmitters out. "GET DOWN HERE NOW YOU TWO!!"
"He's very loud, isn't he?" Rokusho narrowed his optics down at the KBT. Foxfire sweat dropped and nodded. "Well shall we?" Rokusho placed one foot on the ledge and waited for Foxfire to do the same.
The FOX nodded again and rose up with him, and together they both plummeted down to the ground, both landing on their feet.
Metabee had steam blowing from his cannon horns. He was, well (pun intended yes), fuming mad.
"Rokusho, you Meda-bum! That is it! I've had it with you!" Metabee shouted. Rokusho stood his ground, staring Metabee in the optics calmly. But that only angered Metabee further, like Rokusho was mocking him. "I challenge you to a Robattle! Winner gets Foxfire!"
"What?!" Foxfire yelled out. What did Metabee think he was doing?!
Rokusho was no longer calm as he had been once before, he glared at Metabee. "I refuse to fight for Foxfire like she was a prize. And I refuse to fight you for a meaningless reason. You have no right to call yourself a friend of Foxfire's if you treat her as an object."
"What?!" Metabee clenched his fists. What was this 'bot's DEAL?! But Rokusho said nothing more. He turned on his heel and walked off. "Man, I do not GET that guy!" Metabee sighed and turned to look at Foxfire. 'No way she's gonna guilt me outta this one!'
But Foxfire had her optics glazed over to a dark purple; a sharp glare was aimed in his direction. Metabee gave her a scared look.
"Euh, Foxfire?"
"Metabee, what kind of friend ARE you?! Rokusho's right! You have no right calling me YOUR friend!" She shouted at the KBT.
Metabee was stunned. "What are you talking about?! You're the one who LIED!"
"I never lied! I didn't PLAN on meeting up with Rokusho! Ugh, Aki! I just can't talk to you!"
Foxfire, in the exact same fashion as Rokusho, turned on her heel, but this time leapt off of the sign to the balconies of hospital dorms to Akura's room.
Metabee slapped his forehead. He was completely and utterly confused. Why were people mad at HIM!?
"For the 16th time! How do YOU know ROKUSHO?!" Metabee hollered at Foxfire. The FOX type was getting a large headache from his LOUD interrogations.
