Hal glared at a short, thin, feisty blonde. He snapped at her, "Nova! I've told you before! This business isn't to mess around with! It's dangerous! Go home!"
Arms across her chest, she glared back at him. "Bite me."
He roared, "You stupid girl!"
Kai chuckled. "Who is this?"
The other boy told his partner. "Oh. This is the first time you two meet. This is my younger adopted sister."
Nova Clairvoyance noticed Kai and lit up as she squealed, "EEEE! BABY MONKEY! CUTE!"
Hal slapped his forehead and sighed as he rolled his eyes. "Jeez."
"Aw, Hal. She's so cute. How old is she?"
Hal spoke as if irritated. "Nineteen! She acts like she's two and three years old!"
"Aw, Hal! She looks ten years old!"
Hal spoke sharply. "Will you shut up?"
"Aw, but, Hal! She looks like a doll!"
Nova laughed. "Dude. I'm taken."
Hal said bluntly, "At least she's faithful." He glared at her with a sigh and said, "Fine. However, complain about your work and I call someone to escort you home. You must tell me if something is wrong, or I call someone to escort you home. You're not here for me, or anyone else, to baby-sit. The only reason I do this is because you won't leave me alone until I do. Is this clear?"
"Yeah. Jeez, you're such a worrywart."
"You're so sassy, you know that?"
"You're crass."
"Shut up."
She laughed.
His icy eyes on her, he said, "It's not funny. It's stupid."
"You two bicker like siblings."
"She's a stupid girl."
Nova fired at him, "I am not! You're a stupid boy!"
"I accidentally saw you and your boyfriend snog! Bleck! You two are gross!"
She felt intense chills chase through her and intense heat rise and spread along her flesh. Tears came to her eyes and she sucked in her breath. Then, she squeezed her eyes shut and she screamed, "HAL, YOU PERVERTED JERK, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!", and she swung her right arm hard at him and her right hand hit his left cheek hard. She panted as tears dripped from the bottom of her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. She clenched her fists and her teeth and she stomped as she ran.
"Hal. I think you hurt her."
"What do I care? She's a stupid girl."
Kai glared at him. "Hal! How can you be so cold?" He took off after Nova.
Hal stood alone. "It's all stupid."
Kai called her name as he ran.
Nova opened her eyes and she began to feel her heart pound with fear. Scary! So many noises! Where am I? She continued to run.
"Nova!"
She jumped at the voice. That voice! It sounds familiar! It sounds close, too! She turned to the voice and glared. "What do you want?"
"To apologize."
Her heart burst with a good emotion and she smiled as tears gathered in her eyes, dripped from the bottom rims, and rolled down her cheeks. "That hurt. You don't make fun of me in a mean way? You don't hate me?"
He smiled as he shook his head. "Don't be a stupid girl."
She followed their voices to them and they began to make their way back to headquarters.
Kai stared at her with a concentrated expression. "Hey. I noticed something about you."
She glanced his way. "Yeah?"
"You follow noise, scent, flavour, and texture. You don't follow vision."
"Vision often misleads. Hear, smell, taste, and touch by themselves are apt to mislead. One needs all, or most of the senses. As for me, my sight is awful without glasses, or contacts. Today, I couldn't find my glasses and I tried to put in my contacts, but my eyes burned. I have allergies. My other senses are way stronger than my sight." She glanced at Kai again. "Thank-you for the compliment. You're handsome." She glanced at Hal. "Oh. Not to leave you out, Hal. You are as well."
This caused Hal to laugh. "You're cute!"
She glanced at him with a confused expression. I don't remember him smiling and laughing. I don't remember him calling anyone anything other than 'idiot', 'stupid', and 'moron'. "Are you broken?"
"Nope."
She sighed. "Alright. There's this saying: If it ain't baroque, don't fix it."
This caused Kai to laugh. "You're priceless!"
Hikari Maiden: I consider this adorable.
