Chapter 6:
Meeting You
(Koga's POV)
The Next Day…
I have never been so attract to anyone but, what happen yesterday was much more different than anything. That girl, Maria, was very strange. For some reason her cosmos was similar to mine and it react in a way I didn't spec to happen. Could it really be that she's something more? Or could it really be that she's destine the same faith like me? I will never know that for sure but, one thing is for sure, she's something that nobody can understand. Now that the Golden and Silver Houses were right now with us for the Tournament of Saints, I could really spend some time to meet her. To know more about her and maybe to really understand why she's the way she acts. After breakfast I'm going to see her and have a chat with her.
In the Lunch Room…
We were all in our tables ready for breakfast. Then, the Golden and Silver students came to the Lunch Room… and I saw her. Her wine hair was like flames with the light of the sun. She look very gorgeous, and the way she walks is very gently. She was like a princess that way but, I could feel that behind that mask was hitting something from everyone. Well, I would find out sooner or later about that thing. It already past some time and I wasn't taking my eyes away from her. And my friends notice that because what they did was the most embarrassing one. Soma splash me with water in the face which cause that everyone look at me.
- Hey! What was that for?- I scream at him.
- You were very focus on something that you didn't see that we were talking to you. So, to make you to notice us I splash you with water.- say Soma with a great smirk in his face.
- Koga, are you really ok? You were very distend to even hear us.- say Ryuho. Then I look down with my face wet.
- Koga.- start Yuna but, she stop and look to were my face was before Soma splash me with water. Then her eyes went white, very white.- Koga, were you looking to Maria?
That cause that everyone was shock, well not everyone in the Lunch Room only my friends. With that I felt my face hot and I knew that my face turn red in that instant which that cause that all the girls who were looking at me giggle. But, what surprise me was that Maria giggle too, everyone look at her because they never heard her giggle before. And I never saw her smile before but, now… I could see her lips they were in a beautiful way of smiling and before I could react she look at me and turn around still smiling.
- Well, that's a start.- say Soma.
- Of what?- I ask.
- You make Maria smile. But not just any kind of smile, she smile you with her real one.- say Ryuho.
- Oh.- that was all I could say at that moment.
- That's odd because she normally doesn't smile at anyone.- say Yuna a little bit frustrated.
- What's gotten in to you? Are you jealous that Maria smile to Koga?- ask Soma in a joking way. Which cause that Yuna started to be angry at him.
- Don't say things that doesn't make the point in here!- she scream so loud that everyone look at us again. Ok, I now that this is going to be a long day for us.
(Maria's POV)
I most say that Koga is really cute went he flushes like mad. That got all the students to look at me but, I didn't care what they think if I smile or giggle at him. I was beginning to think that maybe I could talk to him and be friends, and maybe he could get me a chance to talk to Yuna. I haven't spoke to her sends yesterdays accident. I never expect that my cosmos react to his and that I show my true potential in that right moment before the tournament. Oh well, what can I say, maybe by my free time I can see Yuna or Koga at that time but, it will be difficult to find them because this a big school. I'll just let the stars of fate hold for me and if it wants that they find me then so be it but… if it wants that I shouldn't find them, I will accept it no matter what.
At the sunset…
I haven't see them for a while now but, I guess this is what fates want. I'm setting down in a bench of the old Elysium. Then I heard some voices but, I just ignore them, I want to feel the light of the sun and the gentle breeze that this sunset brings. The last time I did this a vision came to me but, I not sure what it could mean. Before the sun was complete gone I stand up and head toward the building of the Silver House, then I saw Yuna and his friends heading toward I was. They look at me surprise to see me there but, I just started to walk away from them and vanish like the wind itself. One day I will speck to them and maybe… I would be their friend.
(Koga's POV)
I saw her leave from the bench where she was sitting. I knew she look at us when she pass us but, because of her mask we didn't saw her face. Even so, I could feel her aura which was strange because how come that I can feel her aura if I haven't have much practice with my cosmos right now? Her aura was of a light color very bright around her, it was full of a gentle, lovely and a welcoming warm embrace to go to. She disappear in front of our eyes.
- I see that you notice her aura.- Yuna say looking where Maria was a few minutes ago.
- You saw it too?- I ask.
- Of course I saw it. This isn't my first time that I have see her aura. Her aura is one of the most wonderful and unusual one.- she say.
- Why?- I ask.
- Because the people who have bright auras are destine to greatness and maybe…- Ryuho didn't finish his sentence.
- And maybe what?- I ask.
- And maybe one of the strongest saints that we could ever have.- say Soma.
- Why?- I ask.
- Because they could have a power even much more greater than a God itself.- say Ryuho. I was surprise went they say that she could have a greater power than a God.
- Don't be scare Koga. They might have that power or maybe not but, if they have that power they will have a serious problem with that.- say Soma.
- Why is that?- I ask.
- Because to be able to do that you have to unlock your true potential and went I mean potential I mean to show all it's power to everyone.- say Soma.
- It will be easy to unlock the power but, the real problem will be to control it.- say Yuna.
- Remember what happen yesterday in the assembly went the other houses came. Maria came and her cosmos started to act by itself, she couldn't control them in that moment.- say Ryuho.
- But, that's really strange because if I don't remember she could control her cosmos very easy. Something most have happen when she was in the Silver Classes.- say Yuna.
That was the real question right now, what could have cause that Maria can't use her cosmos and control them like usually?
At night…
I couldn't sleep, I keep thinking that Maria was in trouble and in pain. I always remember that my dreams hunt me because of something but now… what could be happening to Maria? I better find her or other wise I will be regretting it for the rest of my life. Soma was in a full sleep that he didn't heard me went I open or close the door. Once outside I went to the gardens and look at the sky, it was field with many stars that you could see. Then I felt a warm presents nearby, behind the bushes Maria was there sitting down in the grass looking at the sky too.
(Maria's POV)
I see that you found me. Shouldn't you be in bed right now?- I ask without looking at Koga.
- I'm sorry I didn't want to disturb you.- he say in a politely way.
- You know that you don't have to be nice to me from the rack I'm.- I say now looking at him.
- I'm sorry but, I really… well…- he was beginning to be a little nervous with me. I couldn't help it I start to laugh at him.
- Come on! I have meet make boys like you and nobody has that difficulty to speck to me.- I say in a lovely way, which cause him to smile at me. I most say that I like his smile for the short time I have meet him. - Come and sit with me.
He walk toward me and sat down next to me looking at the sky too.
- You know for some reason I feel comfortable with you right now.- I say now nervous that I let it go without noticing.
- You know I feel the same way toward you, even so that I haven't meet you very much.- he say looking at me still smiling. That make me flush but, I was clad that I have the mask or I will feel very uncomfortable.
- Well… I think that maybe we're destine to meet then.- I say looking at him too.
- Maybe but, I don't let that this is the will of the Gods, I make my own destiny.- he say.
- I think that I have heard you say that you didn't follow the rules of the school and that you only follow the rules of your heart. That's what you though to my sister, to always listen to her heart and not let anyone to make her feel be under net them.- I say.
- Well, I'm clad that I help Yuna because if I haven't she could have lost her duel between him.- he say looking at the stars again. I couldn't help to see his figure, his face and his eyes. They show a determine way that he will always be for his friends and that he will never give up. I look back to the stars and I could feel his aura, it was a bright one like mine but, maybe I shouldn't tell him that right now or I will frighten him. But, what I couldn't take off my mind was what happen next, he touch my hand and smile at me. It was like he could see my real face beyond this mask and I just let him do that. I felt that my heart became warm went I was near him or close to him, I could be myself with him right now. He came much more closer and I lay down in his torso and relax for my fist time in years with someone.
- Koga?- I ask.
- Hmm?- he say.
- Could we be friends? I mean like real friends- I ask.
- Of course Maria. I will be your friend no matter what. And if you want to know this… I think I was already your friend from the start.- he say holding me in a light warm embrace. I like it went he say that he was my friend from the start but, actually I already feel that way toward Koga from the start. He was a real friend from the start.
