A Human Emotion Called Love
Hey Gaiz!!!! I'm back after soooooooooooo long, I hope you forgive me. I had a lot of crap to deal with, especially concerning a blonde-headed demon (no names are to be given)
Also, I was lazy and I just bought Tatsunoko vs. Capcom for the Wii, so anyone who wishes to play me in that game, just know this: Yatterman-1 and Roll are godly in my hands =3.
Anyway, to answer someone's question, YES, I do watch Needless. I hate that the anime ended, though…
Beware, for there's 4th wall breakage in the beginning
So, without further ado, let us start with Chapter 3 of this fanfic! IKUZOU!!!!
DISCLAIMER: If you know that I don't own this, congrats, here's a cookie (passes out cookies) Oh, and no One-Eyed Snake for today. You people don't play Super Smash Bros Brawl with Solid Snake, do you…because that's who he is…
Chapter 3: Spying
That little bastard! I can't believe that he would…oh, I missed something…
Dear Journal, (that's better)
I can't believe that pretty boy named Dan! How dare he do that to Ciel?! Grrr…it makes me so mad…my sword hand is itching for his blood…it wants his blood dripping down the blade…
(A/N: Oi, oi, Zero-kun! Let's keep this fic T-Rated, alright? I had enough problems with Dr. Eggman dying in the worse way possible in 'Tragic Revenge'! Btw, R&R that fic, please?)
Sigh…I should calm down, but thinking about what happened tonight, I wanna hurt him…badly. He's so smug and full of himself. Everything about that guy really makes my body ache. I feel like I just wanna kill him because he's there. Now that I think about it, how the hell did he get a job here? Last time I checked, this wasn't an average everyday job. This was serious business. Then again, I haven't been in the base for long, so in my opinion, I could be jumping the gun. In any case, I hate Dan.
After my mission, I went to my room to play some games that Ciel bought me. Truth be told, I'm somewhat of a gamer, and I tend to get bored easily, especially when I have no one to spar with that's on my level. X and Axl were the only 2 to rival me in skill, but seeing as what happened to X, and nothing being found out about Axl, I decided to get some games to occupy my boredom, when I remembered that Ciel and Dan were suppose to go on their 'date' tonight, and that just sent my happiness to a locked prison, letting anger take over. Like I said, I don't like Dan, and I don't trust him as far as I can throw him and my skills surpass his. With this said, I planned to spy on them, to watch out for Ciel.
I'm not one to go alone, and sneaking wasn't my thing. So, I went and talked to Passy for help, and this was how it went down…
"ZERO, ARE YOU MAD?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT CIEL WILL DO TO YOU IF SHE FINDS OUT?!" Passy, the Cyber Elf, yelled at Zero, who was occupied playing with his Nintendo Wii Entertainment System. He recently ordered a copy of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars when he heard that he was gonna be in the game. What he didn't know what that it was the version that he was when X and Axl were his partners, basically, his Mega Man X form. (A/N: berate me, for I have broken the fourth wall). Zero was smashing buttons, not really caring about the dangers of Ciel finding out if he was spying on her or not. Passy looked at Zero with a grumpy look, annoyed that he found the game more important that his friendship with Ciel, and right now, his friendship with Passy is hanging by a thread right now.
"Zero, listen to me! Ciel is about to go on her first date with Dan, and you're not gonna ruin it for her because you don't like Dan!" Passy continued. Zero merely looked at Passy with a 'So?" look, then went right back to playing his game. That made Passy only angrier, then a sly look grew on her face as she looked at Zero. She slowly floated close to Zero's face, giggling as she did so. Zero paused his game to look at Passy, wondering what made her laugh. "Um…what's so funny?" Zero asked.
Passy looked at Zero and just smiled. "Tee hee…I know why you don't like Dan."
Zero blinked at her comment. "Really? Then tell me why?"
Passy took a deep breath, trying to hold in her 'discovery'. "Simple: you're jealous of him."
Zero blinked again, then suddenly laughed at the Cyber Elf's remark. "Me? Jealous of that guy?! Passy, you said some weird stuff in your life, but THAT has to be the most stup-"
"You're jealous of him because you like Ciel, right?" Passy finished. That remark made the red hunter shut up completely. After that, it was total silence…for 5 minutes. No one said a word. It was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. You could hear a flower petal touch the ground. You could hear even the faintest heart beat from a mile away. Each minute of silence marked something for the two. For the first minute, not a muscle was moved, not a breath breathed, not a heart beat, nothing. Deal silence for the first minute. The second minute was blinking heard. Not seen, but heard. Everyone could hear a blink being made for that second minute. The third minute was the fluids inside one's body gushing around, basically, the blood filtering cycle. Nasty, but within hearing's reach. The fourth minute was just the wind blowing. The window was open, and the wind hitting the two was making sounds of music as it touched them. The fifth and final minute was nothing. Just nothing. It was nearly six minutes until Zero broke the silence.
"…Passy…" Zero walked up to the little Cyber elf, who was about to tremble in fear because of his voice. "…you listen, and you listen good. Ciel is my friend, and as a friend, I'm looking out for her." Zero stated. "Let me ask you a question: have you even had any applications for any job openings in this base since you started?" Passy blinked, but started to think back on if there was any applications for anything. Apparently, there wasn't, but in these times, any help would be necessary, so applications wouldn't be needed for anything. She really didn't understand what Zero was trying to say, but she figured that he was trying to say that Dan was a spy. Then she figured that saying Dan was a spy was like saying that everyone was a spy, even Ciel and Zero as well.
"No, but then again, why would we need them? We're trying to save the world, not pay people to help." Passy answered. Zero scoffed and sighed. Obviously, the extra detail wasn't needed, nor was it wanted. He shook it off and looked back at Passy. "Alright then…how do you feel about Dan?" Zero asked.
Passy sighed, knowing full well that Zero wouldn't like her answer. Not one to lie, she answered anyway. "Well, I feel that Dan is a reliable asset to our cause, but he's not as straight forward with it as you are. I find him to be…good, but lazy. I also noticed how he tends to fight with you and flirt with Ciel…" Passy said, not liking that last part she said about Dan. When she looked up, Zero was standing at the door. She wondered if she said anything to hurt him. She floated to Zero and put her hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry…" She apologized.
Zero looked at her and smiled, reassuring her that he was just fine. "It's ok. You didn't do anything. I just need to walk around the base. Not moving for a while can rust my skills and body, you know?" He said. Passy sighed with relief and smiled.
"Alright. I'll help you with the spying tonight, but I still don't like it." Passy agreed, and with that, she flew away. Zero watched her fly away, happy that she could help him. He sighed with relief and decided to take that walk when he bumped into someone, knocking them both down. Luckily, he wasn't running, or the person would be more hurt than he was. "Oh man, are you ok? I'm sorry that I bumped into you…"
"Hmph! You should watch where you're going, blondy!" sneered a familiar yet annoying voice. This same voice made Zero cringed with anger, and there's only one person with that voice that made it possible: Dan. The same Dan that not only hated Zero, but was about to go on a date with Ciel. THAT Dan.
Dan brushed himself off, careful not to ruin his 'perfect' image. His hair was slicked back, wavy with a shine to it. His usual blue suit was replace with a black tuxedo, complete with a pink rose in the pocket, a black tie and shoes to match. He had on some funky cologne that made Zero's eyes water. Obviously, he had put on the WHOLE bottle, and his body was the source of it. The rose in his pocket was fake, or else that would be dead by now from the stench of the cologne. His now perfect suit has a crease in it, thanks to the run-in with Zero. Now Dan was angry at Zero for messing up his suit, and when Dan gets angry, Zero is the one person he takes his frustration out on. An angry Dan is on par with a normal Zero, which means a spar would occur between the two, and half the time Zero doesn't try to fight back, but always wins because Dan is blind to rage.
Usually, that would be the case, and Zero was ready to whoop ass with his Z-Saber, but Dan just smirked and laughed. Since this was a night to try and crush Zero emotionally, he'd better try his best, and the best is perfect, and perfect is how he looks tonight. He'd blame the crease on Zero later, along with a bogus story to get Ciel to hate Zero later on. With this in mind, he walked past Zero, pushing him by the shoulder, and passed by. Zero, confused as hell, sighed and just put his Z-Saber away, wondering what the hell Dan had in mind. That made Zero cringe even more. Dan just ruined his walk.
Ciel was under the shower, letting the water hit her body as she stood there in deep thought. She sighed and smiled as she was thinking about how her first date would go as. Hopefully it would go romantic, like in the T.V romantic shows. Flowers, candles, dinner and some soft music, maybe a trip to the movies, a walk on the beach. There were so many choices that she would love to try them all! Then she realized that all of that would cost a lot of money to put together, and usually, the guy would have the money to make it happen. Ciel wasn't picky on a lot of things, but she did want her first date to be…romantic. She blushed as she thought about the things guys did to girls on dates: hugging, kissing, doing 'this' and 'that', eventually leading to 'the big finish'. Ciel's face was starting to go beet red, not from the shower, but from thinking about 'this, that and the big finish'. She shook her head and decided to get out of the shower. She turned the nozzle off and stepped out to dry herself off. She wrapped a towel around her head to dry her hair. After she dried her body, she put her undergarments on with some lotion and some powder. She was about to pick out a dress when she realized that her door was wide open for everyone to see. She immediately went blood red from the embarrassment of someone seeing her naked, let alone in her panties and bra. She threw on her robe and was about to close the door when she happened to spot Zero just walking past her door.
Zero was taking a walk to shake off his little meeting with Dan, not wanting to see nor smell him after that. He sighed as he walked, hoping that Ciel didn't pass out from his stench. It was then that Zero began to think…vivid thoughts. He imagined Dan knocking out Ciel, dragging her away to a remote area to do 'this' and 'that' and ending with 'the big finish'. That thought really angered Zero, not because Dan might do that to Ciel, but because Ciel was waiting for that special someone to have 'the big finish' with, and if it was Dan…Zero would rather have Ciel commit suicide than to do that with Dan. Then he thought about what Passy said earlier.
You're jealous of him because you like Ciel, right?
Zero blinked when he thought of that and just sighed. Sure, he liked Ciel, but not in that way, or so he thought. As soon as he was about to get on his train of thought, something distracted him from it. It was a scent. A sweet smelling scent. It smelt of lavender flowers with a hint of cocoa butter. It mixed with another scent, this one smelling of baby powder. The scents mixed well together. It felt as if they were telling him to come to their source, to bathe himself in their scents, not caring how he smelt after that. Neither did Zero, for that matter. Like a dog, he began sniffing the scent like a madman. His nose led him to a door, the scents becoming stronger. Now there was a third scent, and he could've swore that it smelt of berries. Zero was about to approach the door since it was open, but ended up seeing Ciel coming out and about to close the door.
"Oh, Zero!" Ciel jumped in surprise as she blushed, hoping Zero didn't see anything that he wasn't suppose to see. Zero looked at Ciel with the same look, but not as surprising. "Oh, Ciel. Hey, what's up? What're you doing here and why are you in a robe?" he asked. Ciel had her room changed since she was a human, and humans have needs that need to be fulfilled. She forgot to tell Zero that she changed rooms, so it was natural that he'd ask. "This is my room, Zero. Sorry, I forgot to tell you…" She apologized. Zero looked at her and smiled.
"It's ok. Anyway, I was following some scents, and they seem to be coming from your room…" Zero stated. "It smelt of lavender flowers with cocoa butter, with baby powder and now, I'm smelling berries…matter of fact…" he leaned closer to sniff Ciel, who blushed a bit in return. "You have those same scents." He said. Ciel giggled and smiled at the red hunter. "Oh, that's just my lotion and powder. I also washed my hair with berry shampoo. I didn't think it was that strong…"
"It isn't. I just have a heightened sense of smell." Zero commented. 'I can smell things from far away, but that's only if I have good chemistry with them. (A/N: I put that just to clear up why Zero didn't sense Dan) Whether it be humans or anything." Ciel giggled at Zero's ability, causing Zero to chuckle in return. After that laugh session, Zero sighed. "So, getting ready to go on that date with Dan?" He asked, not wanting to say his name. Ciel looked at Zero with concern, knowing the rivalry between the two. She nodded and looked away. "I'm sorry…I know that you don't like him…" She closed her eyes and turned away. "It's just that…he's the first human I met in a long time, and a male human, no less. This is my first date…and…I want it to go well…" She turned back to Zero, looking up at him. "So…wish me luck…ok?" she asked in a sweet tone.
Zero suddenly grabbed her and embraced her in a hug. Ciel was shocked and surprised at this action, and after a few seconds, she returned the hug. Zero and Ciel just stood there in each other's arms, not moving at all. Ciel felt his cold armor against her warm skin as his arms tightened their grip around her. She looked up at Zero, who looked back down at her with a look that melted its way into her eyes. She smiled softly, and rested her head on his chest. Zero gently started to rub her back, smiling as he did so. "Ciel…I'm just worried that he'll hurt you…I don't want you hurt…that's all…" Zero whispered to her as she looked up at him again and met the same gaze he gave off earlier. "If he ever tries something that makes you feel uncomfortable in any way, tell me and I'll handle him, ok?" Zero smiled as Ciel giggled and stood on her toes to give Zero a kiss on the cheek, an act that made the red hunter blush. Ciel smiled softly and put her head back on his chest, feeling safe as long as Zero was around. Whenever he said that she could tell him anything, she would always feel like Zero was her knight in shining armor. That alone made Zero her savior. In his arms, it felt like she was invincible. She looked up at Zero once again to see that he had his eyes closed. Ciel sighed with happiness, knowing that Zero was finally at peace. She stood up on her toes once again and gently touched Zero's face, trying to feel around his facial features. Underneath that tough exterior was a damaged soul that needed the right person to heal it. Ciel knew that it would take someone he loved to handle that, and she knew that she would never be that person. First off, it was impossible for a reploid like him to love a human as herself, nor did he love her. Second, he already had a loved one, Iris, and she died by his hands. Ciel felt that even after years of being alone, he could never love again. Lastly, she was about to go on a date with Dan, so even if he did have feelings, he wouldn't express them. That's when Ciel figured it out.
She was in love with Zero.
Yes, Ciel was in love with Zero. Ciel, a human scientist and prodigy, was in love with Zero, Maverick Hunter, and he was THE Zero. If anything, this was an honor to fall in love with THE Zero, let alone hug him. Right now, none of that didn't matter at the moment. What DID matter was that Ciel loved Zero, and if possible, she could help heal the wound in his soul, even if it's not much, if she helped at all, then she would have no regrets. Without thinking, she had her lips to his neck, breathing on it. It looked bare, and she eyed it like it was her first meal in forever. She whimpered a bit, trying to resist herself from licking it, but her urge won over, and with that, she found her tongue already tracing around his neck. She tried to stop herself, but his skin was addicting, like her own brand of heroin. She started to think of what Dan might think if she found him like this. Then she thought about what Zero might do if he noticed her doing this, which wasn't hard since he was still fully awake.
But Zero didn't move his head. He didn't even speak. He just stood in that spot, holding her in his embrace. Ciel winced as she tried to urge herself to stop licking Zero's neck, the taste too addicting for her own good. Using her sheer willpower, she finally managed to stop herself from licking him. She whimpered like a dog, wanting to lick his neck again, but had to stop. The taste was so good, it was like nothing else. She never knew that it would be like that. His skin was smooth, but cold. She wanted him to keep that skin. As she backed up from him, Zero sighed as he released his embrace. Ciel looked up at him, feeling guilty from licking his neck. She thought that he would think that she was weird, or reject her advances. But all Zero said was,
"Why did you stop? You could've kept going."
Ciel gasped and looked up at the red warrior. He not only accepted her advance, but wanted it to continue. She blushed a light pink and quickly buried her head into his chest. The armor made it cold and hard, so trying to feel the touch of Zero there was impossible, especially since he was a reploid, it could never be taken off. But just the feeling of knowing that it's Zero's chest she has her head on makes it worth it. Oh, how she wanted to feel the skin of Zero's chest on her hands, running them all over, feeling his muscle-toned body. The thought of it made her smile with lust. If possible, and only if it was possible, she would pass the date up with Dan just to stay there with Zero…
But, alas, all good things must come to an end for one reason or another, and in her case, her date with Dan was the reason.
She slowly lifted herself off of Zero and looked down with guilt. She knew that she could never have Zero, no matter what she tried. It was the simple fact that she was human, and he was not. That fact alone made her love for him star-crossed, but one sided. To see if he held the same feelings would made the feeling mutual, and the love truly star-crossed. She slowly backed away from him and sat down in her chair, picking up her brush and brushing her long golden hair for her evening plans, a thought she wanted to go well, but realizing her love for Zero would make it awkward.
Zero looked at Ciel slowly brushing her hair, a sign that she was sadden of the fact that they could never be together. He knew that a long time ago. He knew all along. He wouldn't say that he didn't love her, but more like the fact that he could never love her because of their simple differences, and Dan was more likely to achieve that goal. That's one more reason why he hated Dan, and it was the main reason he wanted to spy on them. Now he was having second thoughts thanks to Ciel, and seeing as how she trusts him, how could he go through with the plan? He didn't answer as he walked out the door and it closed behind him. He stood outside, looking down on the floor. He listen closely to Ciel silently crying, knowing fully well the reason why. Zero would cry along with her, if not for the fact that he couldn't really produce tears. He sighed and looked up, only to see Passy staring at him with a sadden look.
"Zero…I…" she started, but Zero put his hand up to cut her off. He sighed and nodded. "It's ok Passy, you don't have to come with me, because I'm calling it off." he announced. Passy looked at him and shook her head. "Zero…I can see why you don't trust Dan…" Zero blinked and looked at Passy. Had she looked at Ciel and Zero in their moment, or was there another reason? Zero had no choice but to question the Cyber Elf. "What do you mean by that?" he asked. Passy sighed, for what she was about to tell him may get him very well angry. Either that, or revive his resolve to spy on them tonight.
"I saw Dan in his room, talking to himself about how he would plan tonight." Passy started. "and what I heard, well…you won't like it…" She paused, waiting for Zero to respond. He motioned for her to continue her speech. She nodded and started. "He was saying how he would first take her to dinner, which I didn't pay heed to. Next, he said that he would take her to some romantic movie, and 'work her way to the mood' as he described. Next, he said that he'd go with her and get a drink with her since she's legal to drink. He said that he'd get her drunk, take her back to his room, and…" She blushed at the way Dan described what he'd do to Ciel after he brought her back to his room. The way he described it was in so much detail, she fainted from the thoughts. She recovered a second later, only to see a fuming Zero, Z-Saber out in hand, ready for some hacking up of a certain Dan character, served up in cube pieces. He'd go confront Dan about this plan he had for Ciel, but noticed that Dan had the ability to smooth talk his way out of EVERYTHING, no matter how impossible it seemed, he always knew how to turn the tides in his favor, and make the person who told the story seem like he or she was the bad guy.
Zero really hated Dan for that. He knew that there was no choice for him now. Talking to Dan would be pointless, and telling Ciel would make Dan brainwash her. He could try, but then again, Passy's description was sometimes off when she explained some things, so him getting mad and going about with wrong details would really make him look like an idiot. The only way he'd save Ciel is to spy on them, and Passy was along for the ride.
In the lovey-dovey area of Neo Arcadia, a lot of people were on dates doing anything you could think of: holding hands, kissing, cuddling, making love in the alley way. It was romantic, yet disgusting. It would take some courage and willpower to go alone in that area, let alone find a date in that area. The men were pimps, the ladies were hookers, and the only way to find true love in that area is to have that 0.01% chance on your side. It always smelt of love making, and it would make the neatest person hurl on the spot.
In a bush near a restaurant, Zero and Passy held their noses from inhaling the fumes, which was hard to accomplish. They couldn't believe that Dan would take Ciel here, of all places. It was the area that couples either do 'the big finish' here or at home. Either way, Zero would stop things if it goes that far. Passy hid herself in Zero's hair, avoiding the smell for now. Zero watched and waited for any sign of Ciel or Dan. After 5 minutes, no one came.
"I wonder if they went somewhere else…" He told himself. This was the place that most couples go, but they were not here. 10 minutes later, Dan finally showed up, driving a blue sports car with Ciel inside. Zero smirked as he waited for them to exit the car and listened to them talk.
"Here we are, my dear Ciel. The most romantic place in Neo Arcadia. Isn't it lovely?" Dan asked the blond headed girl. Ciel was all dressed up in a pink dress, nothing revealing, and it had floral patterns on it. Her hair was let down, the length past her lower back. She carried a red purse, obviously a sign that she loved Zero, but only she knew that. Her shoes were also red, and she didn't wear any stockings. Her face was even more beautiful without her head gear on, even thought she wore no make-up. In truth, she was a definite version of beauty, with a very high I.Q to match. Dan was near drooling just from watching her, while Zero was glaring at Dan.
Ciel looked up at Dan and put on a fake smile. "I already know that, Dan." She was obviously annoyed with him already, for the reason is hers to know. Dan ignored the sarcasm and helped her out of the car, knowing fully well what he was going to do to her. The thought made him smirk with evil. Zero noticed this, and it took every ouch of willpower in his body to not jump out and kill Dan on the spot. He instead waited for Dan to make a move and then kill him.
So far, the date went pretty normal. Dan took Ciel out for some food, but was ignored by her for that time, and Zero cheered for her in his head. Passy was still trying to recover from the stench of the love making. The movies was also the same result, and Zero again cheered. Passy was bawling from the movie. The date was all good, up until they went to the bar…
Ciel sat down at the bar, a few seats away from Dan. She was thinking about up and leaving him to head home, to where Zero was, and stay with him forever…if not for the fact that Zero was at the same bar, dressed in a trench coat, watching her. Passy was hiding in the same trench coat, peeking through the coat. Dan was busy drinking his vodka, thinking of tonight not going well as planned. He sighed, knowing his plan was going to fail. But luckily for him, he had a back-up plan for him. He called for the bartender.
"Excuse me, sir. I'd like to buy that young lady a drink, please." He pointed to Ciel, who was busy in thought. The bartender smiled and went to work on the drink. Unknown to him, Dan slipped a pill in the cup before it was handed to Ciel. Thanks to the drink, the pill was transparent. Ciel looked at the bartender as he handed her the drink.
"I didn't order a drink, sir." She answered. The bartender smiled. "I know. That young man paid for it already." He pointed to Dan, who winked at Ciel. Ciel gave off a small smirk and sighed. She took the cup and drank it, the pill along with it. Dan smirked at his accomplishment, knowing fully well his back-up plan was sure to work. Zero noticed his smirk, but didn't know that Ciel was just drugged. Passy ended up falling asleep inside the coat. The bartender looked at Zero and smiled. "You seem tense, my friend." He said as he approached the red hunter. Zero looked at the bartender and shook his head, motioning that nothing was wrong. The bartender nodded and left.
A few minutes later, Ciel was passed out on the table. Dan saw this as his shining moment, with Zero glaring at him. In a swift motion, Dan picked up Ciel and ran out the door. Zero jumped from his seat, threw the trench coat off, and ran after them. Dan ran into a dark alley way, with Zero not too far behind. He had feared the worse: Ciel was going to be raped right then and there! Her precious innocence was going to be taken by a man she didn't love!
That was not going to happen! Not as long as Zero was there!
Zero turned on the alley way and ran to the end, only to find Ciel just sitting there, still passed out, but it didn't look like she was touched in any way. Dan was sneaky, but not quick enough to rape her in this amount of time. Something was off. Not taking any chances, he walked up to Ciel and picked her up. She was warm, as warm as Zero could feel her. When he was about to turn around, who did he happen to see, but Dan, smirking that very smirk that Zero always hated. This one was no different.
"My, my, Zero! I didn't think you'd be capable of doing that to her!" Dan started. "I mean, taking her when she's barely able to react! Tsk tsk, Zero. I am deeply ashamed of you…"
"You shut it!" Zero barked. "You're the one who did this in the first place! What were you gonna do, rape her?!" Dan's smirk turned immediately into a frown, his eyes becoming very angry that Zero found out his plan. Zero smirked at his accomplishment, knowing that Dan was finally down for the count. But that little celebration was short, as policemen came out in all directions, pointing their guns at…Zero. Dan's frown turned back into a smirk. He started chuckling, then he started laughing loudly. Zero was confused as to what the heck was going on. Why were the police after him? Why was Dan laughing? That was all answered as he felt someone push him to the ground, and a weight lift off him. He soon saw that it was Ciel, who was running towards Dan, crying into his chest. Zero got up to go after her, but the police held him down. He growled at them, but that made their restrictions tighter.
Dan held Ciel in his arms and cooed her. He rubbed her back and looked at Zero. "Ciel…is that the man who tried to rape you?" He pointed at Zero, who was fuming with anger at Dan, but the police was keeping him from doing something that would definitely put him in prison. Ciel turned her head slowly towards Zero, who looked back at her. He was shocked when she answered his question.
"Yes…he was the one…" she answered
That needed no further instruction. In one quick swift motion, Zero was donned in handcuffs and carried to the back of an armored truck. How could this have happened? He was trying to save Ciel, and yet, she said that he was trying to rape her. How could she say that? HOW?! It didn't matter anymore, because now, it was all over. The world's greatest Maverick Hunter was going to jail. Not the ending he wanted, but at the moment, he didn't care. But as soon as he was about to be hauled off, the doors of the truck were opened. Dan was standing outside, smirking with Ciel passed out in his arms. The police shoved Zero out of the truck.
"Mr. Dan told us that you saved Neo Arcadia. Thanks to that, we'll let you off with a warning. But try anything like this again, and you're in the slammer this time, buddy!" Zero growled, but nodded, not wanting to cause more trouble with the boys in blue. After they drove off, Zero turned to Dan, and was angrier than he ever was. "Tell me, Dan. What the hell was that all about?!" Zero demanded. Dan just smiled and chuckled.
"Simple: I drugged Ciel into getting you into trouble with the officials. You better thank me for talking them out of it." He held up a piece of paper. "This is a warning paper they gave me on your behalf. It states that if you try anything that involves harm to others, which includes killing me, you're going to jail for life, buddy!" Dan rolled up the paper and put it in his coat pocket. "But, as I am a gentleman, I will leave Ciel alone for the night. Consider yourself lucky, Zero." He smirked his usual smirk and placed Ciel in his car. He turned back to Zero and laughed. "Remember, the feds are watching you thanks to those handcuffs! Not even your Z-Saber can cut through those!" Dan got in the car and drove off, leaving Zero angrier than ever.
Now there was no way he could ever kill Dan and protect Ciel.
Man, this was long. Anyway, you people know what to do: R&R. Laters!
