~ A Dreamer's Dream - Chapter 4 ~

I don't own Soul Calibur or its characters


"Cassandra! Is something wrong?" Xianghua asked, resting her hand on Cassandra's shoulder. She brushed Xianghua's hand off.

'Of course there's something wrong! A million emotions are running through my head, I might love you, and Sophitia won't shut up about it!' But it wasn't like Cassandra could say any of that, so instead, she lied.

"No." Cassandra said, monotonously. Xianghua looked unconvinced.

"Listen, I know we might've just met some time ago...But...You can tell me anything..." She smiled warm-heartedly. When she said that, Cassandra saw something, it might've just been the light, but it looked like her eyes sparkled with pure adoration. Cassandra smiled, and hugged Xianghua.

"Thank you." She whispered. Xianghua nodded, her face a cherry red.


"I'm going to check up on them, they've been gone quite a long time." Sophitia said, excusing herself from the table. Kilik played with his fork dazed.

'I wonder if its just me...' He thought.


"Well, we better go; our food should be ready by now." Cassandra directed. Xianghua agreed, and turned the doorknob, only to be knocked back by an opposite force. She was flung into Cassandra, their lips crashed against each other. Sophitia stood in the doorway, a look of surprise, and disgust.

"Oh my..." Sophitia backed away slowly, before she took off in a run. Cassandra squirmed quickly away from Xianghua, panting, and blushing.

'Did that just happen?' Cassandra was in astonishment. Sure she dreamt about this moment, but she didn't picture it quite like this, or this soon, she still didn't know if her feelings for Xianghua were real. Deafening silence surrounded them, Cassandra decided to say something, seeing as how Xianghua was too preoccupied to even look at her.

"Umm...I'm going to see if my sister is alright." Cassandra scratched her head nervously, her blush starting to subside.

"Yeah." Xianghua's blush remained, if not, intensified. She walked out, leaving Xianghua to sit, and ponder, ponder at her situation. She loved Kilik to bits, but it seemed he was only interested in Soul Calibur. Xianghua never considered Cassandra as a lover, but when their lips met, she felt so light, she felt a spark, she felt...she felt...Xianghua touched her lips...she felt so in love...


Cassandra approached their table, only to find Kilik staring blankly at nothing.

"Kilik? Where's Sophitia?"

"How should I know?" Kilik retorted. Cassandra rolled her eyes, and stepped out of the café; she saw Sophitia sitting next to a fountain.

"Where did I go wrong." Sophitia murmured softly. Cassandra sat beside her.

"What?"

"Why? You can't be homosexual...Cassandra...love should be with a man, and a woman..." Sophitia stated, unhappily. That was what set Cassandra off. 25 hours ago Sophitia was going on, and on about how she should accept her feelings. Now shes saying girl love is...wrong?!

"I don't care what you say! I love Xianghua, and I don't care who knows!" At that moment, she wish she would've kept that to herself. Xianghua, and Kilik were standing nearby. Kilik didn't look too surprised, but Xianghua was in complete amazement. She would've fainted if it wasn't for Kilik supporting her. Cassandra didn't know what to feel right now, her emotions were in a whir. Xianghua opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. Cassandra already knew what she was going to say, so she ran off, she didn't want to see anyone see her cry.


A/N - Ahhhh I'm sorry for another uber short chapter! DX I promise I'll make the next (hopefully the last) one lengthier...
