Cross of Clear Peridot (7)
Starting with Train's POV
After last night, everyone was tired, Yume especially. It's like 3:00 pm and she's still sleeping O.o Rins was also pretty tired, but when she woke up, she was also confused. She demanded that I explain everything from the beginning, and so I did, that is with some time. But even after the hour long explanation, Yume was still, unfortunately…asleep.
Sven took us to a hospital afterwards, but the doctors said that she was only exhausted and would be fine with a good night's sleep. (It's starting to turn into a good day's sleep) So far it doesn't seem like it. Is it because she likes to sleep? O.o Should I try to wake her up?... Meh… I'll just shake her a few times and I'll leave her alone if she doesn't want to wake up --
I made my way upstairs and across the hall to the bedroom where she was sleeping in. Cautiously, I opened the door careful of not making any sound just in case she was already awake. Shoving my hands into my pockets, I bent over her to look at her calm sleeping face.
Yume's POV
Ahhh… So tired… I'll bet that if I open my eyes right now there'll be another huge ray of Mr. Sunshine ready to shine onto my eyes and blind me. So, even though I was awake, I'd rather not open my eyes. I took a deep inhale ready to start my day.
Strange… It smells like milk. Fearing of what I thought to be intense sunlight, I squinted open my eyes, but only the slightest bit. Also strange… no sunlight, instead there's a white blue blob in front of my eyes. My eyes are probably just having a hard time waking up. I blinked hoping to get rid of the blue blob in front of me, but to my surprise nothing changed. Once more, I blinked only to see the same white blue blob… There's only one explanation for this…
AHHHH I'M COLOR BLIND!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH
"GOOD MORING YUME! " A loud voice exclaimed waking me up instantly.
"AHHHHHH" I screamed in surprise, catapulting off the bed and crashing onto the floor.
"WHO IS IT!?! Dammit!" I Cried body on the floor, eyes shut tightly together fearing for what I thought to be some stalker.
"Are you okay?" Train asked kneeled over me face parallel to mine, "It's just me"
I opened my eyes slowly to see the former white blue blob come into focus, and form a childish Train. I blinked a few times and started to get irritated.
"You know… It's not nice to randomly shout 'good morning' to people that are (or formerly were) SLEEPING!" I exclaimed emphasizing the last word. That was the true fact; I am defiantly not amused, seeing as I'm now lying on the hard floor.
There was a strange moment of silence and stillness for a few minutes. He would blink once in a while, but only to resume the staring fest we had.
I've never noticed that Train's eyes were so golden… O.o
"Train… why are you still hovering over me?" I asked sitting up while using one hand to gently push his face away from mine. Only then, when I could get a clear view of my room, I noticed that this was definitely not my room.
"Where is this?" I asked scanning the room for a washroom. Noticing that there was a washroom, that had their door wide open, and only a few meters behind me, I got up, sat up, and walked over there. The cold marble floor felt nice under my feet as I entered.
I looked up to the giant mirror in front to me to see something else strange… That what I was wearing definitely doesn't belong to me. The shirt hung loosely around my shoulders and the T-shirt looked something like a knee-length dress on me. I took a corner of the shirt and sniffed it... Not like I was expecting any scents, but I picked up the smell of… milk..?
"Train do you like to drink milk?" I asked looking around for a hairbrush.
"Uh-huh" He replied still sitting in the exact same position, and eyes still focused on me. "It's my favorite!"
He pumped a fist in the air, like a child would do when they entered a candy shop.
There was something that had been bothering me all this time. And it was one question that I hesitated to ask. I rethinked it many, many times in my head already, but came to no conclusion. In my mind, I knew that I shouldn't ask, seeing as probably this precious 'Saya' of his was probably very far away, or more likely, not of this world anymore. But what was the worst that could happen? Either he says 'yes' or 'no' right?
"Umm…" I hesitated to think over the wording again, "Do you know who Saya is?"
Train's eyes suddenly had a different look in them. Either they reflected, sadness, or happiness, I really couldn't tell. But either way, he was serious. He got up and flopped onto the bed, arms wide apart. There was a moment of heavy awkwardness as he started blankly toward the ceiling.
"Forget that I ever asked" I said, seeing as I just touched a tender spot.
"Yume… It's not that I don't want to tell you… It's just that I don't know how to put it" Train explained hard reaching towards the ceiling.
I didn't really understand what he meant by that, but seeing as how things are right now, I'd rather leave this conversation the way it is right now.
"It's okay, I understand" I said with a little disappointment in my voice.
Train just stared at the ceiling even more, becoming more distant with every passing second.
"So… where have you been all this time, and what were you doing?" he said in an attempt to change the subject.
"You know, around… doing things" I said flatly picking up a hairbrush.
"You? Oh, any by the way, can I use this brush?"
He sat up to look at what I was holding and replied "Yeah, It's mine but you can use it"
He swung his body back to assume his lying position, but at the same time, facing towards me. I ran the brush though my long black hair, letting it all fall on my back. There was a sudden thought that shot through my head.
"Oh my god! I forgot to feed Chichiro last night!" I cried, shattering the mood. Panicking, I threw the brush onto the counter and ran out of the room not even finished brushing me hair. I rushed downstairs, grabbed, my shoes and ran out the door while everyone was staring at me.
Meanwhile at home
Chichiro sat in the middle of the kitchen floor surrounded by many bags of cat food all ripped open. They lay on their side, each slipping huge amounts of cat food. It was spilt out everywhere clattering as they hit the ground.
"Meow" She Meowed sticking her head in a sac and munching on the contents.
Back to yume
… Wait… I don't even know where I am… I slowed down and stopped all together. Why is it I finally notice AFTER I dun out of the house?
"Wait! Where are you going?" A voice called out from the distance, and slowly approached.
Well… There's Train.
I turned around to see that my suspicions were correct. Train was running towards me; hand in air, waving me a hello.
"Hi" I said not so welcoming to a Train that had stopped right beside me.
"Do you even know where you're going?" He said cocking an eyebrow
"Uhh…" I muttered looking around at my awfully unfamiliar surroundings. Seeing that this was no where that I recognized, nor could I see street the street signs ( My awful vision) I shook my head to Train's question.
"Yeah… I thought so too" He said with his 'I told you so tone' He took out a bag of things I left at his house " And you might also need this"
"Thanks…" I said Head held low
"Do you need Sven to drive you?" Train asked
I didn't really want to say 'yes', seeing as that would just be admitting my stupidity. But seeing the circumstances, I really needed one… ( Completely helpless)
"Well… I live by a maple tree, and there's a park across from it…" I paused " Don't ask me where the location is because don't really know"
After being driven
After 3 hours of looking for a house by a maple tree and across the park… we finally found it.
"Thank you" I said coming out of the car and bowing in front of Sven. Sven just stood there and gave me a nod. I sweated ashamed of the fact that I had to be driven, and not even knowing the address. Train suddenly ran over to me.
"Come on!" Train whined "Let's go into your house!" He took me by the arm and dragged me over to my own door.
"When did I agree that you could come in?" I scowled in a 'grrr' tone. Shooting Train some glares.
"But I want to go!!!!!" He whined once more like a little child.
I shoved my metal keys into the lock, turned it, and heard the door click open. Train eagerly opened the door for me and stepped inside. He paused to look at the scenery of my dwelling. Head tilted towards the large stairwell, he took in a deep breath.
'You know, this place smells just like you" Train remarked taking in the scent.
"Really? What an interesting thing to notice" I said sarcastically looking for my cat, " What do I smell like anyways?"
"Umm… Hard to explain" Train paused to search for the right words Like seafood!"
What the heck? I suddenly stopped to self sulk I smell bad?!?!?! Seafood?! I he saying I smell like fish? Is it because I live with a cat that like to eat fish? AHHH! I've smelt like fish all this time, but why haven't I noticed?
I sniffed my arm for any strange fishy smells, I detected absolutely nothing, other than the lilac scent of my soap. Maybe I can't smell it cause I'm used to it?
"What's that stuff on your kitchen floor?" Train asked half his body in the kitchen peering inside, as if he was afraid to step in.
"Eh?" I asked in confusion, forgetting all about the seafood comment. I hurried over to the kitchen looking over. I noticed that the brown stuff coating the floor, was indeed, cat food. Is this…
"Meow" I heard from one of the assorted bags littered across the floor. The bag rustled a bit, and a Chichiro came out of it, purring. She sat on my foot and rested there.
Enjoy D
