Well, hello there my dear readers! Here it is! The third chapter!
My head hurts just thinking about this one. I can't believe how hard it was to write since there is nothing special about it. I'm weird. (-.-) *sighs*
Anyway, I hope you will like it (^v^)
I don't -man in any way possible because if I did there would most definitly be A LOT of yaoi and smexy scenes. (*/*) I'm a perv, I know.
Just to remind you : I have only like one week of summer vacation left and after that I will leave my sweet little home and go to the main city of our country, the beautiful Ljubljana, to study. I'll be staying in a dorm and I don't know how things will work there so I am warning you not to expect another chapter too soon. I will do my best, but my main priority will be studying (just so that you know).
If you like this chapter and you are in a good mood, then please, my all means, leave a review. I will be very happy if you do.
Until then, my dear reader. Bye bye. *waves*
„But I don't want to." A little girl with black hair pouted and sat on the floor, with her arms crossed.
„It's not right." She heard a sigh and looked up. An old man sitting before her slowly stood up and kneeled before her.
„Listen. I know it's hard for you, considering your past. But now is different. You have a home. A family." She shook her head.
„But they don't like me. I heard them. They said I wiggled my way in, playing my cards as being a cute helpless kid who doesn't even know how to wipe her ass." The old man laughed and ruffeled her hair.
„They just need some time. Don't worry. Soon they will wonder how they managed without you."
Sen..sei? She tried to grab hold of the picture but her mind wasn't fast enough. She felt sort of numb. And her head hurts...
„Midnight? Midnight! Are you okay?"
„Allen..." She managed to open her eyes and came face to face with Allen's worried expression. In an instant his face brightened up and he smiled.
„You're awake! Thank God!" Her eyes quickly scanned the surroudings. They were in a small room with a miniature round window high up on the wall in front of her. The doors were most probably behind her, as she couldn't see them. She looked back at Allen and grimaced.
„You're too close." He just smiled happily and helped her to sit up. She wimpered. Her head felt like it was spliting apart. Allen looked at her.
„You okay?" She nodded even though the thumping became almost unbearable. She was already somewhat used to it from before even though that was years ago. She learned how to live with the pain. But no matter how hard she tried, she never overcame her body's weakness to bear with drugs, no matter how weak the drug actually was.
„That stupid idiot... Who ever he was." Midnight looked at her brother.
„How is your head?"
„Oh... fine." Allen reached with his hand to the top of his head and made a painful expression as he touched the bump.
„It's not as bad as I thought it would be." For the first time after she opened her eyes, her face relaxed a bit.
„That's good. By the way, you woke up before me, right? Did anyone say why are we here?" Her brother shook his head.
„There was nobody around from the moment I woke up. There seems to be a lot of going on up there, though." He pointed with his finger up, towards the ceiling. They could hear footsteps and loud, excited talking of many people. Allen sighed audibly so that she looked at him.
„Also, we departured not too long ago."
„Departured?"
„Sailed off." Silence. They she exploded.
„You mean to say we are on a ship?!"
„Not a ship. THE ship. The air pirates' ship." Her legs would most probably gave up on her if she wasn't already sitting on the floor.
„Holy cow." Her eyes looked at the window. Then she looked back at him.
„Help me get up." Allen gave her a worried face, with eyebrows furrowed.
„I don't think that is a great idea..."
„If you don't help me, I'll do it myself."
„Fine, geez. Here, give me your hand." He helped her on her feet and her body wobbled for a few seconds before she stepped forth to the window. But then she realised something. She was to short to see.
„Goddamnit," she grumbeled under her breath. Her head did reach the window but even when she stepped on her toes the only thing she saw was the sky above them. She glared at Allen who was snickering beside her.
„Stop grinning, you idiot, and look outside."
„It's no different from what you see."
„Wha..."
„I can see just fine through from here, you know. Some of us aren't so... how to say... short-handed on some talents." He winked at her and laughed as she tried to hit him with her fist.
„You..."
CLACK.
They froze on the spot when the doors' lock suddenly made a noise and Allen felt Midnight's body tensing up.
„Relax, they must have a good reason for kidnapping us so they most probably won't hurt us," he tried to calm her down as they watched door opening. Midnight made a slight movement with her head.
„And what if they don't and they just brought us here on a whi..."
„I am so sorry." The twins stared shocked at the person who opened the door.
„A girl..." Midnight whispered to Allen. The girl had long, really dark green hair in two pigtails high on her head and she had the most beautiful dark-coloured eyes Midnight had ever seen. The girl bowed deeply and then hurridly continued apologizing as she walked towards them.
„I am honestly extremely sorry. I had no idea the two of them would go as far as locking you two up since that was not in the plan. I'd come to get you sooner but I only just found out. Oh, where are my manners." She smiled. „Please, forgive me. My name is Lenalee Lee, I'm in charge of the library on The Black Order, which is the ship's name, by the way." Asian, Midnight thought as she heard her talk and noticed a small hint of an accent. Then she looked at her face again (she was studying her uniform until then) and cursed in her head. Stupid, of course she's Asian. Just look at her face. You can't miss those eyes. Lenalee shook hands with Allen.
„You must be Allen Walker. And you Midnight Kuro." The two girls shook hands. „If you would like to follow me, we have a room ready for you upstairs. This room is mostly used as storage but is currently empty so Kanda and Lavi must've used the chance and put you two in. But I still can't understand why. Maybe Lavi made Kanda angry again...," she murmured while they were making their way upstairs. She led them to the room which was most probably on the front part of the ship, at least Midnight had that kind of feeling. Lenalee opened one door on the left and they followed her in a big bright room with a relatively large round table. She turned back to them to explain.
„This is the conference room. I thought it would be better for the first time since it's bigger than other rooms. My brother will come latter; he is the captain of this ship but there is no need to think that he's scary just because of that. Actually," she laughed quietly. „He can act like a spoilt child sometimes but you'll get used to that."
„I doubt that." Only then Allen noticed two persons sitting on the opposite site of the table. Midnight made an annoyed voice as he moved in front of her. Lenalee noticed that and shook her head.
„There is no need for that, Allen-kun. The two of them," at that she glared at the guys who kidnapped Allen and Midnight, a tall dark haired Asian and a redhead with an eyepatch. „Won't ever do anything like they did to you. Do we have an understanding?"
„Sure." The redhead smiled cheekily while the other one just grumbled something. Lenalee nodded in satisfaction and showed the twins two nearest chairs to sit on.
„Excuse me." Midnight frowned, not sitting down. Lenalee looked at her.
„Yes?"
„I'm confused. I thought we were some kind of hostages or somethin' like that..." Lenalee tilted her head.
„Of course not. I thought everybody settled on this plan since it was the most... realistic one."
„Plan?," Allen asked. „What plan?"
„How to bring you two on the ship without the bad guys noticing," answered the red head. Lenalee nodded to that and asked:
„Didn't Cross-san tell you about this?" Allen's face turned pale and his body shook.
„Cross?" His eyes jumped to his sister. Midnight's voice was arctic cold which didn't went by unnoticed. Lenalee and the two guys all looked at her, Lenalee with a worried expression, the guys with a suprised one. Allen tried to grab hold of Midnight's hand but she smacked it away. She was still looking at Lenalee.
„Are you saying that this is that bastard's doing?"
„Well, not really. The idea to get you two on this ship was his, but the way to do it was ours," Lenalee answered. „Is there a problem?"
„A problem? Of course there is!"
„Midnight..."
„No! Don't tell me to calm down!" She was on a verge of exploding. „I've had enough of him! It's always his doing that affects our life in the most terrible way possible while he just walks away as if it's none of his buisness! Where is he?!" At that she turned back to Lenalee who tried to hide the shivering of her body. The Asian stood up, his hand on the handle of his sword. Allen noticed that and grabed Midnight's shoulder.
„Middy, calm down, please."
„How the fuck am I suppose to calm down?! Because of that fucking bastard and those guys... ," at that she pointed to the two men on the other side of the table. But when she wanted to continue talking, almost screaming, her face turned red and she started breathing heavily. Lenalee jumped up and helped Allen to support her.
„What is wrong?"
„A chair! Get a chair!," Allen said and Lenalee pulled the chair she was sitting on before closer and helped Allen to get Midnight to sit on it. Her face was flushed and she was having troubles breathing. Allen grabbed the back of her head and forced her to lean down so that her head was between her knees.
„A-llen..."
„Don't talk, concetrate on breathing." Midnight nodded and tried to take in deep breaths even though she wanted to breathe qiuckly. Lenalee stood beside them, scared and worried.
„Is she going to be okay?" Allen gave a small nod after a few minutes.
„Most probably. Do you have some hawthorn tea by any chance?"
„There is a possibility of that."
„Can someone make it? Just one cup will do for now." He looked at his sister with a worried expresion. „Since we left our house so quickly, we had no time to take her tea with us." Lenalee nodded and left the room, before that shoting a look to the guys who came closer in the mean time. The red head grinned back and just waved with his hand.
„Don't worry, Lenalee. I'll make sure Kanda will behave properly." The Asian growled in return. Midnight coughed at that.
„Just breath," Allen said and massaged her back. She made a sound deep down in her throat which made the red head grin.
„She doesn't seem to be in a lot of pain."
„It's not pain," Allen answered with annoyed face back. „It's high blood pressure."
„Is it serious?"
„Lavi, stop asking questions all the time." The Asian, whose name was apparently Kanda, made an irritated sound. Lavi smiled.
„Is it wrong for me to be curious?"
„After what you have done, yes." Allen was the one to answer. „I hope you understand it is mostly your fault for her state."
„What? What have we done wrong?"
„For one, you destroyed the windows of our shop. Two, you druged her and she does not bear good with drugs. I bet she has a headache now. Three, you guys are working with master."
„Does she hate him?"
„Absolutely detests him ," Allen said dryly. Lenalee came back with a cup of steaming tea and handed it to Allen. He thanked her and nudged Midnight to lift her upper body back up and looked at her face.
„How are you feeling?"
„Terrible." Her voice was weak and hoarse and her face was still flushed. Lenalee sat down beside her and patted her knee.
„I'm sorry for all of this. I thought Cross-san told you about all of this."
„He's a fucking idiot..." Midnight started but Allen shut her up.
„Drink this." He forced her to start drinking the tea and then looked at Lenalee who shook her head once.
„Since it's like this, we'll continue tommorow. I'll tell my brother after I show you your room. By the way, I hope you don't mind, but there is only one king sized bed. You two are..." She coughed. „You two are a couple, right?" Allen stared wide open at her.
„Fuck no." Midnight lifted her head to look at all three of them.
„We are not a couple, for fuck's sake."
„Then what is your relationship?" Lavi looked at her questionably. She gave him a cold smile.
„We are twins."
