Dsclaimer: I DO NOT own Chrono Cross, cuz if I did I would have made more
CG scenes with Kid and Serge and the ending would have actually been an
ending!!! *growls*
Plot: Ah yes, another classic, when they first meet (kawaii!) after the fight with Karsh and the Shaker bro's off to Arni they go!
~~
"Oh and Serge. don't go tryin any funny stuff just cuz I'm cute n' all." She smirked
Serge couldn't help but smile at the smart remark and he set his hand over his middle shaking his head. Kid's smirk widened into a sly smile then, uncrossing her arms she made her way off the small cliff, stopping where Serge was and setting her own hands over her hips.
"I'm serious. I just saved yer arse and what not, but I don't know you at all. and you damn well know I could kick your ass." she smiled
"If you're so concerned of me doing any 'funny stuff' then why did you save me in the first place?" he asked walking up to where she was.
She eyed him before beginning to walk off again, with him a few paces behind. "I told you I hate unfair fights. but, besides that." she continued.
He waited for her answer, simply watching her ponytail sway as she walked "I might tell ya someday." she finished
She didn't turn to face him, but continued walking, and he simply observed in silence.
"So Serge, have any idea how ya ended up dead?" she asked finally turning back to face him
"Huh? Uh. I don't really know. what happened to me in the first place. What happened just a couple hours ago, I was, obviously alive, at the beach. then I, heard someone calling my name."
"Who was it?"
Serge looked to Kid as he walked, remembering the faint voice, it was definitely a woman's voice. and she sounded a lot like."
"Well?"
He jerked in surprise "Um. I don't really know. but someone I couldn't see called my name, it was as if I could only hear her voice and nothing else."
"her voice? Was it yer girl friend or somethin?"
His cheeks turned pink. "I don't have a girlfriend."
"boyfriend?"
Serge turned purple "No!!"
Kid smiled lifting up her arms defensively "just checking. I've been out at sea a lot ya know and that ain't something too odd."
Serge scowled at her and she laughed "So nothin' or no one? someone as handsome as you ain't taken? Hahaha!"
Serge looked down at the forest floor passing under his feet, blushing of course.
"Awww come on. I'm just kiddin ya. don't get all shy on me now." she smiled trying to catch a glimpse at his face.
"I don't have a girlfriend." he said again, only whispering it now.
"That's ok. if no one eva asks ya you can always have me." She smiled
His ears went red and Kid smirked in satisfaction.
"You're a very direct person aren't you?" asked Serge
"I say what I mean and mean what I say. Don't see the point at keepin' things to myself when I wanna speak my mind."
"Makes sense."
"Course it does! I'm not a guy, and actually think before I speak."
"I resent that."
Kid smiled.
"So. where do you come from? You said you were new to the islands right? and what were you doing down at Cape Howl?" he asked
"I got business down here, that's all, anywho it doesn't matter why I'm here. I just am."
"But what we--"
"There's Arni." she interrupted
The trees in the distance cleared out a bit revealing the small decorated entrance of Arni, Serge would have asked again, but even though she hadn't said or done anything to tell him, he knew it was best to keep quiet. As usual the old man greeted them with a kind welcome, and once in town Serge led the way to his house.
Maybe it was the fact that it was dark, or maybe he was just tired, but things didn't seem normal in here, he led the way to his room and found it very changed, but of course, since he 'didn't exist' he guessed it was a normal side effect. His mother was nowhere to be seen, then he remembered what Leena had told him.
"You all right mate."
He snapped out of his thoughts to find Kid, without her smirk and a concerned look in her eyes.
"I'm fine. sorry, um. you take the futon closer to the chair, I'll take the one by the window. nights here can get cold." He said settling down on the thin mattress.
He was too serious, and it made Kid uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?"
Serge took off his red bandanna and ran his hand through his deep blue hair, anguish sketched all over his face. She couldn't help but feel pity for him. "what isn't wrong? I pass out at the beach, I see strange visions, wake up and nobody knows me, finding out I died ten years ago. nothing is the same, my mom is dead too, Acacia Dragoons start attacking me for being a ghost." he sighed "And I have no idea why this happened to me."
Kid let him have a few moments of silence, staring at her dagger before she decided to say something.
"Sorry bout your mom. I know what it's like, loosing a loved one and being alone. welcome to the club." She smiled dryly.
Serge looked back to find her taking off her boots and gloves, after that she proceeded with her red vest the lay down on her futon.
"Sleep well mate."
He watched as she shifted into a comfortable position and sighed one last time before relaxing. 'sleep?' he would do anything but sleep tonight, there was too much on his mind, nothing made sense and he wasn't comfortable enough to go to sleep.
"Good night." he said getting up from the futon
"Where are ya goin?" asked Kid turning
"Just to the balcony. I'll be right back. in a minute."
"No you won't." she said shifting over to see him
He watched as she supported her head against her hand, and with his eyes, followed her body line that was now more accentuated by her current position. He mentally shook his head and turned to the balcony again
"Look. Serge, I know how you feel right now, but you ain't gonna accomplish anythin' by moping around or worrying. You need to do something about it, you need to find out, and to do that you need to get some rest. If ya really wanna help yerself, then just let it go for tonight, and get to sleep."
He thought about it for a while, she was right of course, but.
"that's easier said than done."
"Then don't be afraid. to trust me. We made a deal mate. remember? And trust is what this deal is all about."
Serge now looked at her with intrigue and amazement, she was a very beautiful person, not just physically speaking, her very soul was captivating.
"Oh fer cripes sake! Would ya just get to bed?!"
He snapped out of his thoughts to find she had her hand over her waist, eyebrows raised expectantly.
"I ain't gonna eat ya you know." she smirked
He smiled inspite of himself and made his way back to his futon, taking his boots off as she turned her back to him again.
"But I warn ya. if ya start to snore I'll kick yer arse out of the hut."
he smiled again. Then finally lay on the futon using his arms as pillows.
"Kid?"
"Hm?"
"You said you helped me for two reasons. one was the unfair odds. what was the other?"
She drew her legs closer to her body and tucked her arms protectively over her chest.
"I might tell ya. someday."
