Me: I'm back with a new chapter! Sweetness huh? Lol, well please read and don't forget to review! Enjoy! Oh are there are more hints in this chapter, very vague ones but they're there!
It's been a few days since Saya started asking those odd questions. Haji and Saya finally arrived home a few hours ago, though she is still acting strangely.
Saya walks to her room quietly, almost as if she's trying to be sneaky. Kai suddenly comes up to her, making her jump out of her own skin.
"Are you alright?"
"Uh yeah, just waking up in the middle of nowhere I guess made me jumpy."
"The girls are going for ice cream; they wanted to know if you would like to go with them."
"Will Haji come?"
He raises his brow at the question, saying it was a dumb question without even talking.
"Don't look at me like that…I jus was wondering and you two were talking…so I thought you might have plans."
"It's Haji; he follows you everywhere. Of course he'll go."
She nods and walks down the stairs. She goes to open the door and looks back, seeing the chevalier stand from his seat and head her way. She giggles as she walks out. She meets the girls at the door and they head for the ice cream store.
The sun is setting but shinning bright, making the sky a pink color while the clouds have a nice golden tint.
The streets are crowed with a flood of people, most people are shopping for some special occasion it looks like.
"There are a lot of people out today…" Saya comments, not really looking for an answer.
"Well yeah, tomorrow is Thanksgiving after all," Hyou answers.
"Yep, we need to get some things while we're out." The red eyed twin declares and she pulls them into a store.
This one isn't very crowed but enough to make someone scream. They buy a few things and make their way to the next store. They enter and this one hardly has anyone in it at all, suddenly Saya is grabbed from behind. She shrieks as she tries to get a good look at the person before she attacks.
"Oh Saya, I thought I'd never see you again. I've missed you."
"What?"
The person released her and walked to her front.
"It's me, Kaori, don't you remember me?"
"No…Should I?"
She seemed hurt as her shoulders sank.
"Oh, I get it, it's been a while…it's ok."
Saya rolls her eyes as the girl leaves.
"Saya! That is your best friend, how can you say you don't remember her?" The girls question her, anger hidden within their tones.
"I don't know her."
"When you do, you better go apologizes to the poor girl."
"Uh right."
They finish their shopping and head to their original destination.
"I think perhaps we should take the bags home before we go anywhere else." Haji suggests.
They all nod and go back to the pub. As they arrive, they see a blond woman enter before them.
"Julia, I thought you weren't coming by until later." Kai exclaims.
"I have time to give Saya a transfusion. This is the only time I could get her in."
"Well, she's out with Haji and the girls."
The bell above the door rings and their attention is turned towards it. They see the four walk in with their arms full with bags.
"I thought you went to get ice cream…" Kai says, staring at all the bags.
"Yeah but I remembered we didn't have anything for Thanksgiving." Hyou explains.
He nods and helps them with the groceries.
"Saya, are you ready to get your transfusion?" Julia asks.
"Uh." She looks up at the chevalier. "Sure?"
"Alright, let's go."
Haji accompanies them on their trip like he always does. They enter the clinic and go to their regular room.
"Ok, if you could just lie down on the bed and make yourself comfortable, I'll be right back with the blood packet."
She nods and does as she is told. The doctor closes the door and silence fills the room. The chevalier is leaning against the wall to her right, secretly observing her with his cloudy blue irises.
She breaks the silence. "Haji."
"Yes?" He turns to her.
"I've forgotten a lot of things haven't I?"
He says nothing, waiting for her to continue.
"I mean, I didn't even remember my best friend. It's scaring me…what if I forgot something about you or Kai?"
"You will remember over time."
"That may be so but I can't stand not knowing something about my own family."
"Would you like me to answer some questions?"
"I can't think of anything to ask…"
"…"
The blond steps in with a bag of red liquid in her hand, breaking the awkward conversation they were having. She hooks here up to an IV and leaves to go chart some things down.
Haji looks at her as though he knows of a secret she is hiding from the world.
Thanksgiving morning had begun when the smell of dressing filled the Miyakusku home. Saya descends from her room to see if she can help with anything.
"Kai...what you cooking?" The last Schiff asks.
He quickly turns to her and smiles. "Turkey and ham, some dressing, vegetables, and pudding for desert."
"Is there anything I can help with?"
"Yeah, start making the pudding and put it in the fridge afterword."
"Right."
The queen walks in, looking sleepy and groggy.
"Hey Saya…you can go back to bed for now. It's not going to be ready for a while."
She nods and turns to go back to her room when she bumps into something hard yet soft. Her eyes snap open and she looks up, standing over her is Haji.
"Oh…sorry."
She passes him but he stays there.
"Uh Haji…can I talk to you for a bit?"
He nods and the red haired man motions for Lulu to take over. They go to a private room and close the door.
"Have you noticed anything wrong with Saya? Like something 's a bit off?"
He thinks about his answer, wondering if it is just his imagination. "Yes."
"What have you noticed?"
"She's been asking strange questions."
"She's been acting really strange around me and the girls," Kai finishes. "I-"A knock from the front door interrupts them in their 'meeting'. The middle aged man sighs and goes to answer it. He opens the door and sees an old looking guy with a…prostitute?
"Uh…We don't take strippers…and we're closed…"
The girl slaps him across the face and puts her hands on her hips.
"Mao!" His voice is rather cheerful.
"Stripper? I do not look like a whore!"
Okamura scratches his head and looks away.
"It's been awhile, come in."
They walk in and Saya walks in front of them with a glass of water.
"Hey Otonashi! Why do you look like a wreck?" The 'stripper' asks.
She turns to them with a hard glare.
"Chill, I was only joking."
The 'whore' hugs her tightly.
"Uh hi." The red eyed girl responds.
The pub owner looks at his sister skeptically.
"Mao, Okamura…can you come help me in the kitchen?"
"Sure."
"Mao and Okamura…" The midnight haired woman whispers to herself.
The night comes and they all sit down at a large table…well not Haji of course. The family eats in peace, Mao and Okamura talking about their latest story. The twins talking about the hottest bands and the best music out this year. But Saya isn't talking at all; she's just eating and staying silent, usually she's more talkative. From time to time Kai's eyes secure on her, watching her. He tries to think of reason for her odd behavior like Haji once was or is.
After the meal, Saya and Haji sit outside on a bench while the rest is inside still talking about nonsense at least that's what she thinks.
"The stars are really beautiful…" She tries to makes some talk so the awkwardness will leave.
"Yes…"
She narrows her eyes and smiles deviously.
"Haji."
"Yes?"
"Do you know where Saya is?"
She quickly takes out a dagger and sends it for his neck.
Me: Well there's ya'll a cliffy! *Laughs deviously*
Saya: You suck!
Me: If you didn't catch those hints here they are. I never said her chevalier I always said the chevalier. And Kai talking to Haji wasn't vague or anything but I wanted something interesting in this chapter! And when she whispered Mao and Okamura's names to herself like she was trying to not forget their names…Ok so you know that Saya isn't really Saya! Who could she be? And where's Saya?
Saya: You still suck!
Me: I Have a question…I was thinking of a story that won't be published for a while but I want to know if the name 'Shattering Soul' is something that catches your interest…please tell me! Ok reviews are love ~!~
