Love at Blind Sight
By: ?
Ch. 3 The Unsought of Realization
On that evening and arriving at the door of her apartment, Layla dug through her pockets and pulled out her keys to open the door. Walking in, she noticed that her living room wasn't the neatest it's ever been. Since she was expecting company, she was going to have to tidy up. She walked over and sat her bag with her clothes inside on the counter, and began fixing up the room.
After a few minutes of 'extreme' cleaning, Layla finally finished cleaning the living room. With that done and out of the way, she walked through the hallway and entered her room. Since she was still somewhat damp, she planned to take a nice long shower before Takami and the others arrive.
She walked over to her dresser drawer, and started looking for some clean clothes. Doing so, she found an old picture her and the gang as teenagers. In the old photo was Ryo, Skyler, Kiba, Kaizer, Faith, Hope, and her and Takami all crowded into the photo.
Recalling all the memories, a series of past events spiraled in her mind. All the wild and insane ventures they had together did get them in trouble a lot, but they all stuck by each other for better or for worst.
She let out a heavy sigh and said, "I miss those times. Well, I better get ready. They'll be here soon." She sat the picture on top of the dresser, grabbed her clothes, and went into the restroom to take a shower.
Ryo and Skyler's house
In the house of the constant bickering couple, Ryo and Skyler sectioned themselves different parts in the same room. Ryo was watching TV and Skyler was on the computer playing the horror game Amnesia. With boredom lingering in Ryo's mind, he had to do something.
He then remembered something Kiba pointed out there was some fake hair extension in the restroom when he was over. Nothing was good on TV so he decided to go with it, hopping that she wouldn't kill him and give him time to explain.
He went into the restroom, found the fake hair extension, grabbed the scissors and walked back to the room.
"Pick a good movie already because we gotta go see Layla in a few minutes." Ryo Nagged. Skyler remained the same facing the computer playing the horror game.
"Hang on, let me do this. I know I can get through the game without screaming. I'm taking it over to Layla's place too." "By the way, should I put on my yellow contacts or just go with my natural blue eyes?" Skyler questioned still facing the computer screen.
"I don't care." Ryo simply said.
"Oh you don't, that's not nice to say at all." She murmured.
"I just want to get out of here." Ryo demanded.
"Give me a minute." Skyler pleaded.
"Hmm, okay then. You really have really nice head fur by the way." Ryo commented softly rubbing her head.
"Come stop Ryo, you're going to mess it up." She implored. Ryo quietly moves in with the scissors and extension without her knowing. SNAP, was all Skyler heard then immediately turned around and sees yellow fur like hers and scissors in his other hand.
"What the (Beep)." Skyler swore.
"That was an accident." Ryo stated.
"What the (Beep) Ryo did you just cut my (Beep)ing hair!" Skyler shouted.
"It was an accident." Ryo lied knowing he really didn't cut her hair.
"That wasn't an accident why would you even think to do that. How dare you!" She shouted even more.
"I was just pranking you." Ryo stated.
"That's not (Beep)ing funny Ryo I was growing my hair out you jerk!" She shouted then walked to the restroom. 'I hate you, you annoy the hell out of me' she shouted on the way there.
"It's not that bad. It's not that bad" Ryo repeated following her to the restroom. She was looking through the mirror trying to find the cut hair but didn't find not one cut hair. She then sees Ryo standing outside the door.
"Where did you cut it at?" She demanded with frustration in her voice.
"It's not; you can't really tell where it is." Ryo said.
"What did you mean it not there; you just took a chunk of my hair." She continued to shout and look.
"I'm sorry; I was just trying to pretend." He said handing her the 'fake' hair.
"Your dead, you're so dead! I'm so sick of this. I hate you!" she shouted.
"I'm sorry." He continued. Skyler then compared her hair and the other. She then noticed the stitched part of the extension. She then looked at Ryo bewildered.
"This is fake hair." She said softly.
"That's not your real hair." Ryo admitted. Skyler lite up an awkward smile.
"Oh my god I was so scared, I was so scared that you were either going to shock the hell out of me or try to kill me in my sleep." Ryo said between laughing.
"I'm thinking about it. Anyway, you've convinced me. Let's go." Skyler said.
"Finally!" He said as they walked to the door exiting the house.
Layla's Apartment
After drying off from the shower and putting on a blue T-shirt and skinny blue jean. She then proceeds to the living room and sat down on couch, picket up the controller and turned on the TV. Moments rolled in and her doorbell rang.
Layla jump off the couch and grinned happily as she opened the door. Opening the revealed the happy-go-lucky white wolf, Kiba, who also grinned happily.
"Hey Layla, we meet again. I've brought snacks! " He giggled. Layla smile then suddenly faded. She was hopping that Takami would be the first to arrive at her doorstep.
Kiba noticed her disappointed expression and said, "Huh, you were expecting someone else?" He said normally. She shuck the disappointment and expressed a light grin.
"Oh no Kiba, you're always welcomed. Come on it." She said letting the cheerful wolf in. "Kiba, you can set the snacks on the counter in the kitchen." she added closing the door.
"Kay." Kiba replied setting the food and snacks on the counter. "Wow, I didn't expect me being the first one to be here. Usually I'm always late."
"You're sort of early Akiba" She added with a giggle.
"I must have forgotten to reset my stupid clock. Oh well, I sense that couch is calling me." Kiba joked as he jumped and laid on the couch lazily. Layla didn't really mind it much of how Kiba was positioned on the couch, she does the same thing sometimes.
Once again the doorbell rang. She walked over swung the door open and revealed a white tiger who was wearing a black T-shirt and black pants, and black cat who was wearing a gray vest and blue skinny jeans.
"Kaizer, Felicity, welcome. Where's Hope and Faith?" Layla asked.
"They had a change of plans. Hope's dad got him working back at the restaurant. Faith tagged along with him." Felicity answered.
"We've come on their behalf." Kaizer added.
"Figures, make yourselves comfortable." Layla invited. The black cat and white tiger then walked in and was greeted by an over excited white wolf-dog who was lying lazily on the couch. Next it was Ryo and Skyler who was at the door and Layla invited them in.
The gang was almost complete again; the only person that was left out was...
*Ding-Dong*
Layla opened the door and revealed a tired Takami panting with his paws on his knees at her doorstep. On the inside Layla was overjoyed to see him. Takami then let out his signature smile, which any girl would say was attractive. Seeing his smile, she blushed heavily. Thankfully Takami didn't notice it.
"I made it, just in the nick of time." Takami said.
"What took you so long?" Layla asked.
"Fell asleep and overslept, which is weird because it's evening. It's that and your doorman's intimidating." Takami quickly explained and walked in.
"You're telling me, your gardener actually tried to spray me with the waterholes." Ryo stated.
"You probably deserved it." Kiba commented.
"Kiba, you still act like a little kid, grow up." Ryo replied.
"Who says he's the only one." Skyler said aloud. Everyone laughed at that.
'Everyone is here, my comrades, my friends…my family. And also the one person I can truly count on as well, those shoes can only be filled by you, Takami.' She thought.
A few minutes later everyone was enjoying each other's company. Kaizer, Takami, and Layla were watching a movie; Felicity was reading a book sitting next to Kaizer. Skyler, Ryo, and Kiba were playing the horror game from Skyler flash-drive she brought.
"God this can be freaking exciting if we could find one freaking piece of paper." Ryo stated.
"We should look in the trees." Kiba figured.
"It's in the tree; it's on tree like a tree truck. You can't climb trees. Kiba, you can walk around in this game. There not about to be in or on top of goddamn trees." Ryo explained frustrated.
"Alright chill." Kiba said. Maneuverings the character in the game they spotted a 'page'. Kiba then read the 'page' and said, "That's terrifying."
"Hurry up and grabbed it stupid. It looks like something you drew you moron, you draw like a 2-year-old child." Ryo relied.
"What do I do?" Kiba questioned.
"Click the mouse and hurry up and take it." Ryo instructed.
The two wolves continued to play the game with Skyler sitting beside them, snickering at the bickering that they so often carry out. Everyone else also found the bickering humorous and chuckled. All of the sudden, there was someone outside bang on the door loudly. The loud banging then lead to a male voice, demanding Layla to open the door.
"Layla, open this damn door this door you selfish (Beep)." The voice behind the door roared. The black tigress knew exactly who that was.
"Go away, Justin! I told you, we're through and I hate you. Now step away from my door!" She demanded. The guy behind the door then began to jiggle the door henge, trying to get in. Layla stayed were she was at, sitting next to Takami.
"Layla, do you want this guy gone?" Ryo asked turned around in the seat looking at her. She gestured yes and he and Kaizer walked to the door. Kaizer opened the door and revealed another black furred tiger.
"And who the hell are you two?" Justin exclaimed.
"We're friends of Layla's." Ryo answered.
"And it seems that she doesn't want to see or hear you right now." Kaizer added.
"So…yeah we're going to have to block you." Ryo stated.
Justin then tried to get past them but the white tiger and black wolf blocked his way.
"Get out-of-the-way or I'll punch your lights out." Justin threatened.
"Oh go ahead by all means, if you want to get decked in the face go for it." Ryo commented. Takami then got up from his seat and walked between them and stood in front of Justin.
"So you must be this Justin I've heard about. You know I told Layla if I saw you I was going to deck you in the face right." Takami said as he cracked his knuckles. "But I'll give you chance; leave now and never comeback. Or, you'll literally find yourself dumped and fired." Takami said conjuring up fire in his hand.
Justin then moved back out of the room pointed at Takami and said, "This isn't over!" Justin then off at the end of the hall and proceeded to exit the building.
"That guy was a d(beep)." Kiba commented. "Was that your ex-boyfriend?" Kiba turned around and saw tears running down her eyes. She then ran walked to her room and slammed the door. In that he can help her, Takami followed and stood outside the door.
Layla sat in her bed in the fetal position holding her head down, crying about what happen not long ago or a few minutes ago. Justin was the last person she wanted to see. Half of her wanted to rip him to pieces and she knew she could, but the other half didn't even want to see his face. To her, her whole day was ruined. She then remembered that the others were in the other room. She sat the edge of the bed then dried her tears. With drowsy eyes she walked over to her door and opened it only to reveal Takami standing behind it. Both tigers went wide-eyed staring at each other.
"Are you okay?" He asked
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little upset." She answered. Takami then held out a bottle of water out to her. She generously took the bottle and murmured 'thank you'. Takami then moved closer and embarrassed her into a hug, a hug she didn't expect. At first she gasped but then accepted it. She felt a very strong sensation and was unnoticeably stunned.
They separated from the quick embarrass and eyed stared into each other's eyes. Looking into Takami's fiery crimson eyes reminded her of something. Something she liked before. Realizing what that something was. She couldn't deny it no longer; she …loved him. It was almost love at blind sight.
Speechless of the realization, she didn't know how to tell him. Takami was about to speak until Ryo called.
"T.K, Layla, get in here! There's someone you two like to see!" Ryo called. The two then looked at each other once again with questionably expressions. They then made their way down the hall and entered the living room.
Making an entrance back in the living room, standing before them was two individuals. One was a teenage lion with brown fur, jade green eyes, and an almost complete black mane, wearing a blue hooded vest and black sweats. The other was a Siberian tiger who was one foot shorter than the lion. He wore a Blue hoodie, white under shirt, tan cargo pants. Both smile widely at Layla and Takami.
"Hiya, long time no see." The tiger began.
"What's going on you guys? We missed you." The brown lion teen commented. Takami and Layla looked up and down at the two and were baffled. Layla turned to Takami in hope he knew them.
"Taka, do you know these teenage kids?" She asked them. Takami simply shrugged his shoulder. Both smiles then faded from the two teens and turned into frowns.
"Oh come on. I'm not a little kid anymore. I'd hoped you'd remember me a little...ya know." Kovu said in a hinting tone. That line 'Ya know' spiked both their minds, only one person uses that line.
"Kovu?!" Takami and Layla exclaimed. The young lions toothy smile then came back as he raised his arms over his head. Layla then looked at the Siberian tiger. "Borko?" He nodded and smiled as well with his hands behind his back.
"Hey, long time no see. Me and Kovu just came back from our small venture. A certain someone felt that it was time come back." Borko said looking at Kovu from the corner of his head.
"You call a six-year venture small? Kids these day." Ryo commented. Kiba chuckled at what his best dark wolf friend's comment. He then yet out a heavy yawn and raised his arms up in the air and then behind his head.
"I'm getting tired and it's seems like it getting late." Kiba said as he looked at the window, sighting that the sun was no longer visible through the opened window blinds.
"I agree. Felicity we should get going. I'll take you home." Kaizer offered. She nodded standing beside him.
"Kovu, Borko, where will you two be staying?" Layla asked the two teens.
"Oh, don't worry about us. We have small space nearby that we're staying in. Kovu, we just came to visit and it is getting late. Let's go." Borko told his lion brother.
"Aww come on, we just got here." Kovu said sadly.
"We can come back tomorrow." Borko propose. Kovu nodded at his younger brother and then waved at the others. Kaizer, Felicity, Kiba, Ryo, and Skyler each one by two exited out Layla's home. It was then only Takami and Layla, and Takami was standing outside the door.
"Well, I'd best get back home." Takami declared.
"Takami, I'd like to thank you, for helping me out. Making me feel better. At first I was down, but when you helped me I felt better. For that, I thank you." Layla said expressing gratitude.
"What are friends for. I'll see you later." Takami said walking through the door. Layla then watched Takami walk down the steps. On the way down Takami had something on his mind. 'Maybe I should have said something. Next time, next time for sure. I'll be ready, to tell, one of these days.' Takami thought exited the building.
That night, Justin was walking down the streets in the middle of the night, silently swearing of went on a while ago at his ex's house.
"Damn that girl and her absurd friends. Next time I'll show them all, what happens when they get in my way." Justin vowed.
"Oh, so you want to get back at them do you." A male voice said from behind. Justin turned around and saw a man wearing a black cloak.
"Who are you?" Justin questioned.
"My name is at no importance. What about you? Do you wish to have power? If so, I can grant you that power." The hooded man offered.
"Power? Huh yeah, but whats the catch?" Justin questioned once again.
"Yes, just simply give up your soul over to me. It'll take some time but you'll have what you want, in a few years time. During that time, you'll be asleep. Once you wake up, You will have everything. Do you accept?" The man said holding out his hand.
"I'm not shaking your hand, but I accept." Justin answered. Within a moment Justin standing and sinking into a dark pool. Panicking, Justin struggled as he was inches in the ground and the man was standing there watching him. Sinking into the abyss.
'Foolish neophyte, Only half of your being with be alive, but now, you will be my new vessel' The hooded man thought maniacally laughing in his mind.
