Spirit of the Sphere

Chapter Two: Don't Kiss Me!

Solo watched the girl who had just came into her life. Her name was Kei and for some reason, Solo found herself liking this girl more and more. Though Kei was full-grown, she couldn't comprehend how to wear clothes or even how to use eating utensils.

The young waitress sighed. She grabbed Kei's fork and speared a piece of meat with it. "This is how you use a fork, Kei. And please stop trying to take your shirt off, it's not decent."

Kei frowned. "But it is so uncomfortable! How can you humans wear such constricting material?" She did, however, keep the shirt on. Solo had to let Kei have some of her own clothes, because there was no way they were going to just walk into a store with her being naked. Solo placed a piece of meat into her mouth and stole another glance at Kei; she was still picking at her food and obviously did not like the gold and black t-shirt and pants that Solo had picked out for her.

She may hate wearing clothes, but Kei definitely looks hot in those clothes! Solo thought with a grin.

Kei noticed her friend's attention and smiled. "What are you smiling about, Solo? Is it something I did?"

Coughing to hide her embarrassment, Solo decided to change the subject. "Forgive me if this is rude, but I have to ask, what the hell are you exactly?" There, she'd said it. For Guthix's sake, she had freaking blue skin! Who has blue skin?

Kei looked like she was going to think about the question, as her features suggested she was contemplating a good answer. Or maybe she was unsure herself. She crossed her arms and looked Solo dead in the eyes. "I am Kei."

"I meant what are you, not who are you!" she yelled. She couldn't think of what to say, so exasperated, she stood up from the dining table and stormed out of the room. Worried and confused as to what she had done to warrant Solo's outburst, Kei followed her new friend out the back door and into Solo's garden.

She found Solo sitting on a stone bench smack-dab in the center of the desolate garden. Solo had wanted to grow flowers of all kinds out there, but she didn't have the green thumb for it. Kei sat beside Solo and waited. Solo looked up and growled, "What do you want? Haven't you already done enough damage?"

Hurt, Kei asked, "What have I done? If I have said or done anything to cause you pain, please tell me."

Solo watched as tears threatened to pour from Kei's radiant green eyes. As mad as she was, she couldn't let that happen. Smiling, Solo wiped away the tears with her finger. But somehow by doing this kind thing, Solo also felt the urge to cry. Stupid girl emotions! Solo sullenly.

Solo said, "Kei, you don't understand, do you? By you escaping from that ball, you've caused me nothing but grief. The White Knights shut down the café I worked at and are hunting me because I'm a witness. I can't afford to stay in this house any longer than a night, for fear they'll take me."

Now the tears really did come. Solo hunched over herself and cried silently. Her new friend looked on in agony. Kei began to understand some of what Solo was feeling; she had caused her savior to cry and to lose her job.

Kei wrapped her arm around Solo's shoulders and hugged her. Still crying, Solo looked up into Kei's face. Even now Solo still thought that Kei had the most beautiful eyes.

"Grow," Kei commanded. Suddenly she began to glow a bright blue. Thin tendrils erupted from her and snaked around the garden. Each tendril, there were twenty, dug into the earth. Solo gasped as flowers began to bloom. They were not ordinary flowers either, for they glowed an unearthly color. The garden was now alive in bright, neon flowers. Tiny colorful spheres began to dart amongst the flowers, like little fireflies.

When Solo witnessed this, she smiled brightly and began to cry. "Thank you. This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." Solo turned toward Kei.

Without warning, Kei placed her hands behind Solo's head and leaned in. Solo became paralyzed as Kei's lips got closer. She wanted to pull away, but she suddenly didn't want to.

Kei…she's going to kiss me! I-I have to pull away, this isn't right. But I can't help myself, she smells so intoxicating, like honey.

Just as their lips were about to touch, Solo shoved Kei away from her. The blue girl fell off the bench, looking up in surprise. Trembling with disgust, Solo said barely above a whisper, "How dare you! Don't you ever try to do that again! Do you hear me?"

Kei bit her lip and nodded. "I understand, Solo. Please, allow me to explain." Solo scoffed angrily and strode back into the house, slamming the door behind her, leaving Kei all by herself. She cast around for something to take her mind off of Solo's anger, but found none.


Review Q: What did you think of what Keitried to do? Tell me in a review.

Comments: Sorry this chapter was short. A bit of a warning: future chapters will contain varying degrees of yuri. Not exactly ACTUAL moments, but it's mostly an undertone throughout the rest of my story.

Until next we meet, adieu!
