Hi! Here it is! The second chapter! Standard disclaimer applied.. I own nothing and gain you so much to those who read and reviewed! I shall use your constructive criticism well :3 well on to the story!
Atro [POV] {this happens around 9 pm)
I opened my eyes to see the faces of my comrades, all looking down at me as they loomed over the slightly inclined bed. Their faces showed great concern and worry, and the thought eased me. I tried to give them a smile, but I couldn't do it. I should have greeted them but, I couldn't. The heavy pain in my chest was too much, and before I knew it, my tears were already coming out. I covered my face with my right arm, since I couldn't use my left. I felt arms gently hugging me, and I realized that it was Selena. She was whispering comforting words, rubbing my back and stroking my hair. I hugged her back, and I cried on her shoulder. She really had this warm presence, and it's no question why we treat her as a beloved sister.
"Atro..." I could tell she was choosing her words carefully, because she knows that careless words could easily send me into even greater despair. The room had a silent atmosphere, but it was nowhere awkward. After a few minutes of silence, I removed myself from the Ice Goddess and tried to sit up. The others shifted, Lance sat in a chair, Eze made himself comfortable wit the floor, and Vargas and Selena helped me. I managed to sit upright, but the sudden action stung my shoulder. I winced in pain, and Selena wiped my tears and sweat with a damp washcloth. My body was really heavy, and I was hurting all over. I reached for the mirror beside the bed. I looked really messy, my hair sticking out in some places as it wasn't in it's braid, and my whole body covered up in bandages. I set down the mirror and Lance handed me Urias.
"Galant fixed the physical damages, but he said that only you could restore it's power." He smiled. "It was kinda hard to get him to work fast though, since Stya, Alma and Oboro paid to visit."
"T-thanks.." I was finally able to flash a small smile, and that alone lightened up everyone's faces. Vargas gave me a glass of water, and I received assistance from Selena. The atmosphere was already light, so I took the liberty of breaking the silence.
"What happened after I collapsed?" I asked in a soft voice.
Everyone looked at each other, and I just stared at them. I saw Lance nod, and he stood up form his chair. He began.
"Well..."
{30 minutes later}
"So that's how we found you, bleeding and unconscious." Lance looked at me, making sure I listened well. "Oh.. Right." I replied. I then proceeded to tell them of my attacker, the man clad in white armor and used a spear. Vargas told me that the man was probably Centurion Melchio, who was rumored to come from the skies and who slaughtered and attacked a village. No one knew why he would attack people though. Disregarding that, Drevas's wielder said that they looked for me after I suddenly disappeared, and they caught a glimpse of the green goo as they headed towards the monastery. He told me they didnt fight it, and that finding me was the first priority. They were basically radiating warmth, and it was something that I needed. I'm really lucky to have friends like them. I felt a chill run down my spine as I felt eyes on me. I had a grin on as I heard brave words from a loud mouth and yellow hair.
" Dude, you are a male right?" Eze suddenly asked, eyes glued to my face. Vargas face palmed, Selena held her giggles, while Lance sighed and proceeded to hit the thunder idiot. He didn't need to though.
My hands acted on impulse and I grabbed the nearest thing, which was the washcloth, and with a speed I didn't know I had before,chucked it at his face.I knew he said it to change the serious atmosphere, but I wont deny that hitting him with something was the first thing that came in my mind. Everyone laughed, and I found myself laughing as well.
Kuda [POV]
I cursed out loud as I opened the door to my room. Why? Why did I even hesitate?! Now, due to my foolishness, the payment for the job is gonna decrease! I sighed and ruffled my hair, taking off my mask. I dropped myself on the couch, and I closed my eyes, hoping to get some sleep.
(5 minutes later)
"ARGHH!" I exclaimed. "I can't sleep. And it's that girl's fault! Why did she have to look at me with those eyes?! Plus, the orders given to me were vague!" I mumble to myself.
I stood up and opened my window, and I just stood there, my arms crossed. I felt the moonlight on my face, and my thoughts wandered to the person I saw earlier. She was definitely beautiful, with eyes that captured my gaze instantly and the look she had on her face was just...
"KUDA!" My door slammed open and I swiftly whipped my chains towards to door. I stopped when I saw it was just Lucca, with a wide grin. I withdrew my weapon as his face had a childish look, and I guess something good happened. I don't get why he always comes to me though.
"I DID IT! I FREAKIN DID IT!" He exclaimed.
" Is that all you came for?"
"YES"
" If that is all, then congrats on whatever happened. Now would you kindly go out and let me sleep?" I sighed.
The green haired nuisance smirked. "Pfft you? Sleep? You were gazing into the moon! Did that pretty girl really mess you up?" The prick is now laughing.
"Your fairy is annoying" I said. He always lets his summons roam freely at night. I looked away and continued staring at the moon.
"Hmph. Well I'll tell you something about that 'male' siren that captured you." I froze and then I looked at him with confused eyes. "What?!" I exclaimed.
"You heard me. The person you saw earlier was Atro. Your target. I have to say, it was fortunate that his face was cute. At least his life was prolonged."
The green fairy prick smirked. He was holding his laughter. He ran out the door as he burst into laughter, his fairy closing it. I was feeling embarrassed and I looked into the mirror. I was definitely red. I remained silent, and disturbed. I was silent, because I couldn't believe Atro looked like a girl, and I am GREATLY disturbed that my opinion still didn't change. Ever since I saw him earlier, my mind was restless. I tried to think of the reason why I couldn't keep his face out of my mind, and...I think...
"I shall see those eyes again" I mumbled. I got my stuff and head out the window. I need to relax. For some weird reason, I want to see him.
Hehe. I guess I have to end chapter 2 here.. I'm really sorry for updating with a somewhat short one...
I'm having a bit of trouble writing Kuda's point of view and parts, but rest assured I will figure it out. I will try to update as early as tomorrow, and maybe light and dark may meet. :
Btw, the promotional vid of BF was..err... Not nice? XD i still wish the game had an anime adaptation or something.
Anyways, thank you so much for reading! See next chapter! Byieeee :}
