Rokusho's Love
By Whitefaerie
A cloudless sky. That was how the weather was, it was perfect. The sky was a clear azure and the river sparkled in the sunlight as it flowed over the pebbles.
Yes, it was perfect, except for… 'Aia!!!' except for that. 'Aia!!' the shrill voice of Ikki once more tried to render my ear drums useless, "I'm up here!!" I called from my perch atop a tree in the park. The biggest moron in the world and I got stuck looking after him!! , I thought as I got down from my safe little hiding place.
"Why were you up there?" he asked looking up at me. His medabot seemed to think the same as me; he made a face at Ikki which summed it up. I looked down at the small, yellow temper tantrum on legs; he definitely lived the statement 'size doesn't matter'.
I smiled at the pair of hot-heads and sighed, they were lucky to have each other. I desperately wanted a medabot of my own; I yearned and constantly begged for one. A rush of air brought me back to reality, something was here. Whatever it was it made Ikki and Metabee stop arguing, I looked behind and my eyes shot open to their fullest. Standing beside where I sat was a medabot, but not just any medabot, a white medabot with two large horns sticking out of his head and a sharp, two-sided sword on his right arm with a white silk cape wrapped around him, "Rokusho!" Ikki and Metabee said in awe. I looked on from my place on a large boulder and rolled my eyes at the two. I smiled at Rokusho and patted the rock beside me, with catlike grace he jumped the two Neanderthals and sat down beside me. 'Show off' I thought smirking at him and yawning playfully, he merely laughed at my childishness. "A fine example to set for your charges", he teased "humph!" I said, disgusted at the thought of those two creatures as my charges, "that's a smarmy remark coming from you, Rokusho!" I growled back, nudging him. "At least you learnt when I looked after you!" he protested, nudging back, "and you had fun".
I stood up and glared down at him, playful superiority in an air around me; from where I stood I was easily twice his size, with long, black hair and pale, blue eyes. I had a slight slender appearance, which hid my real strength, and my power. I jumped over the pair, who were staring at me with disbelief and admiration, and landed quietly beside the river. Metabee, eager to be involved in anything, suddenly began to jump about. I raised an eyebrow at the strange, little medabot and backed away slightly as he bounced nearer to me. "What do you think, Aia? Can I jump high or what?" he looked at me expectantly and I smiled and nodded "indeed" I said, trying to sound awed by it. Metabee seemed to constantly compete against Rokusho in any way he could, I'm not sure why.
Rokusho laughed at my act and Metabee's jumping. Metabee burned red with embarrassment and lunged at Rokusho, angrily. Rokusho, swiftly, leaped out of the way and watched Metabee slip and fall into the river, a look of childish amusement visible in his eyes. 'He looks so handsome like that…'I thought, dreamily, 'what!? I shouldn't think like that!! That's an impossible thought!! After all I'm human and he's…he's…' my thoughts broke up and disappeared as I stared at the medabot's lean figure. I felt my cheeks begin to burn and I, swiftly, turned away, hoping they hadn't noticed. Unfortunately, Rokusho had noticed and came over to me, putting a strong arm around my waist. I blushed deeper and stared away from his concerned stare. "Are you all right, Aia?" he asked very quietly, taking my hand in his gently. "Yes", I whispered, resting my head on his shoulder. I looked up into his gentle, red eyes and inched closer. We were less than an inch apart when "RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!" a loud clang rang through my head along with searing pain, "nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!" cried Rokusho as he took me in his arms. I felt dizzy and weak. I reached up and felt something wet on my forehead, I quickly pulled my hand down and looked at it. My eyes widened. Blood. My head began to spin, my body felt cold and numb, then I fainted hearing Rokusho yelling and an oddly, familiar voice replying….
