Chapter 4: A Chaotic Day!
Chaos laid in her bed, staring at the ceiling. As usual, she was trying to figure out what love was.
"Is it an upgrade? When Miss Ikaros says she loves Mister Tomoki, she gets stronger," Chaos said to herself.
"Would you be quiet for one night, Chaos?!" Astraea complained. The two had to share a bunk bed in Nymph's room since there were no rooms left.
"I'm sorry Miss Astraea," she said, "I just can't help it." Astraea groaned and covered her hed with her pillow. Nymph was reading a book in her bed. Chaos decided she would set herself into a temporary rest mode, as she thought it'd be better to continue contemplating love in the morning. She set her timer and "fell asleep".
In the morning, the same stuff happened just like any day. Nymph closed her book and went to the living room, Astraea was groaning in bed about being hungry, and Chaos was waking up. She climbed down the ladder to her bed and went to the living room. The TV was on, and Nymph was watching it intently. Tomoki sat next to her twith a confused look on his face while he watched.
"So, why is he following her?" Tomoki asked Nymph.
"Ugh, it's because he, oh nevermind..." She gave up trying to get Tomoki into soaps. Chaos snickered at this. Ikaros came in with breakfast. Chaos immediately went for her bowl and began to scarf down her food. Astraea ran in and nearly took her out trying to get to her food. This resulted in Chaos being covered in egg. She gave a blank look while everyone looked at her. Astraea became very scared and tried to hide behind Ikaros. Chaos closed her eyes and...laughed.
"Miss Astraea, you're so funny," she said. Astraea started to laugh nervously. She slowly returned to her spot at the table and ate her eggs. Breakfast went as usual. Everyone was finished, and Ikaros took the dishes to the kitchen. Chaos followed her. Ikaros did the dishes in silence. Chaos gave her pant leg a little tug. She gasped and looked down, revealing Chaos to be standing there.
"Miss Ikaros, what is love?" she asked innocently.
"Well Chaos," she said, squatting down, "love is finding the one person that makes you feel like you're the whole world, the one person who will treat you as the most important person in their life." Chaos just gave her a blank stare. Ikaros gave a look of defeat. There was no other possible way she could describe it.
"You'll have to find out for yourself, Chaos," Ikaros told her. Chaos looked disappointed and left the room. Ikaros sighed.
Daedalus finally got to the house for their weekly report. As they made their way to Daedalus' lab, Chaos started to ask her usual question.
"Miss Daedalus, what is-"
"I unfortunately still have no answer for you, I'm sorry," she cut her off. They travelled in silence the rest of the way. Upon reaching the lab, Daedalus had Chaos sit in her chair and give her report of the week.
"Well, the first day was normal, as was the next four, but two days ago a new angeloid kidnapped everyone but Miss Ikaros saved us with much haste. She didn't want to talk about it though. The next day Miss Ikaros and Mister Tomoki went on a date and I think that's a thing now, at least that's what Miss Nymph said. And today Miss Ikaros tried to explain love to me. I still don't get it though. Why can't I understand?" Chaos started to smile and cry at the same time. Daedalus approached her in an attempt to comfort her. Chaos turned away.
"Let's just get through this quickly," she whispered.
Daedalus frowned and continued her diagnostic work. They finished early that day, and after she left, she went around Sorami for a while. She explored the shops down the lane. Everyone greeted her and she simply ignored them. She wandered around the school. It was empty, just how she liked it. She visited the cherry blossom tree. The falling leaves calmed her down. She looked out from Hiyori and Tomoki's viewpoint. The city was alive and moving. She saw Ikaros flying back home after getting groceries. She decided that there was nowhere else to go in Sorami, and she had nothing left to think about. She returned to her house. When she got in, she saw Nymph laying on the ground unconscious, Astraea with Chrysaor and Aegis-L equipped, and Ikaros holding her down. Chaos yawned and went to her room. She would find out what was happening later. She just wanted to chill out and sleep. She knew she couldn't sleep, but that didn't stop her from wanting it. She started to cry.
"Just another boring day for me, alone," she sobbed.
So I wanted this to be a bit of a look at what Chaos is doing while the others are off having their adventures. I've always felt bad about her kind've being neglected after she became one of the good guys. The next chapter will be about what the hell was happening between Nymph and Astraea. (Real quick- thank you to ZIROSURVIVAL for following, favoriting, and leaving a review! I appreciate it!) So I know this chapter is WAY shorter than the last one, but I wanted to have this chapter about Chaos.
Next time: Delta Contra Beta!
