Chapter VIII

I approached Yuki. I guess she didn't notice that cause she's still crying. Yes, I have no regrets in killing that vile thing, making Yuki cry like this. Erm… You didn't read that, it's just your imagination.

"Hey, how are you?" Damn, that was stupid. At least she stopped crying. She looked at me while sobbing. Her eyes widened then she smiled… well a bit.

"Kyon-kun?" She sound scared. Damn that old lady wolf guy thingy.

"Yeah, it's me… It's alright now…" I went near her… but I realized that she was still inside the cage. Grrr… just thinking of trapping an innocent thing like Yuki, well at least when she is like this, here makes me want to kill that thing again. Woah… am I turning into a homicidal maniac?!

"Wait here, I'm going to find the keys."

"O-o-okay… just don't leave me here…" Man, she really is scared.

Now, where to find the key? If I were a wolf disguising as an old lady, where would I put my key? Hmmmm… under the bed perhaps? Nah… While I was looking around, I remembered that I have Asahina-san's light saber… Sigh… I went towards the caged and sliced the lock. I should've thought of this earlier.

"Thank you Kyon-kun!" Yuki was so happy that she was free she ran towards me. Next thing I felt is my butt crashing on the floor in an unpleasant way and Yuki hugging me. Wait… Is she really… I mean, seriously? Man that butt wracking experience was totally worth it. We should do this again sometime… GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!!!!!

"Hey Yuki, I think we should stand up now." Argh… Do I really have to say that?

Yuki, realizing she was still hugging me, quickly stood up then turned away.

"S-s-sorry… I-I was so happy that I….I…"

"No, it's alright. So… let's go meet Master and Asahina-san. I think they know where the others are."

"Master…?" Oh crap. I forgot to tell her about Master Yoda in the commotion.

"Master Yoda; I'll explain later," I told her. Yuki, still looking away, nodded. She grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the exit. Then she stopped. Wha? Why? I looked where she was looking and I saw that she was staring at the wolf thing's body. Oh crap…

"Err… are you alright?" I said while I tapped Yuki's shoulder

"Ummm… Yes… I think. I have seen blood before..." She said. Oh… yeah… when Asakura Ryoko tried to kill me to see how Haruhi would react… *shivers* Damn, that was a bad memory…

"So… Let's go?" There are too many bad memories here… And some good ones too… Like when-

"Yeah, I think I'm alright now Kyon-kun… Thanks for saving me." She said. Then she put a chaste kiss on my cheek…All thought processes halted. Initializing system reboot. Reboot failed. is shutting down. is shutting down.

"K-K-Kyon-kun? Are you alright?! I'm sorry! I just thought that… Well I saw that in a movie and I thought that's what you should do when one rescues you… I'm S-sorry…" Yuki got sacred when she saw Kyon was getting redder and redder and also was barely moving (Kyon can't narrate so it shifted to third person. Sorry for the inconvenience).

"Ah.. err… ummm… yes …alright, I am… yeah…" I quickly –ehem- regained my senses… But still… Sigh…

"Really? You look like you are sick." She said as she put her hand on my forehead.

"Temperature reading is slightly higher than normal. Pulse is also faster than normal." She said.

"N-no… Seriously, I'm alright…"Darn, why am I acting like this?

"O-okay then… sorry again Kyon-kun!" We're going nowhere here... But why do I feel strange? Arghh… I'll deal with that later. We need to go to Master Yoda now.

"It's alright… I think we should go now, we don't know if other things like that will come." I smiled and stood up. I helped Yuki to stand then we went towards the outside.


2 hours later…

"Master I think it's getting late and we need to rest, or something." I said to Master when I saw Yuki looking tired, to me at least. And Asahina-san looks the same as when we first saw her in the woods. What's up with that?

"Correct, you are. Rest, we will." Master said. How come he still looks smart when he talks backwards?

"I think we should hurry towards Rohan. Don't let us be too much of a burden for you and Master Yoda." Asahina-san said. Man, she is scary.

"I agree with Asahina-san. Don't let us burden you, Kyon-kun." Yuki said. Hey, you and a burden are to totally different things. What I meant to say is… whatever.

"You two are not burdensome; I just think that walking around in the forest at night is dangerous, and also we need some rest so that even when any weird thing comes at us, we are not too tired too fight." And I feel my Haruhi-sense tingling so we should really stop.

"Correct, my student is, young one. Rest, we must." Master said.

"Very well," Asahina-san finally got convinced.

Later that night, I went to Master Yoda to ask something. Well, there are still few things I don't get here. I mean, what's with the gingerbread house?

"Master, can I ask you something? Well… a few things?"

"The path to wisdom, asking questions is," he answered. "Very welcome, your questions are." Sigh… He still confuses me.

"Master, how did you know that something was going to happen in that house?"

"Foresaw it before I met you, I did."

"So… what else did you foresee?"

"When time comes, you shall know, young one."

"And, Master, can I have a saber? I think it will be hard if I would borrow Asahina-san's saber every time. And If ever we get separated, I think it would be best if at least I can defend myself and Yuki too if ever she is in trouble." Well I think wielding a light saber is cool too.

"Give you a light saber, I will, but only if you promise that use it only to protect, you would."

"Yes Master. I will only use this on that occasion Master." With that I bid Master Yoda farewell and left. While walking towards the camp, I saw Yuki sitting in the grass. Now that I look at her, I realized she was still wearing our school uniform. Well not that I'm complaining though.

"Hey," I said as I approached her.

"Hello Kyon-kun," She said.

"Umm… What are you doing?"

"Nothing really, I was just looking around…" I sat beside her then looked at the stars.

"Oh… Well, how did you get caught by that thing anyway?" This is Yuki Nagato we're talking about, after all.

"Well… umm… I was walking then… ummm…" Well I'm not expecting Nagato was finding it hard to explain something? But I think it's cute, so whatever. WHAT THE?! KYON!!!! FIX YOURSELF!

"What? You got hungry and you ate her house then he caught you?" I said jokingly. Yuki blushed then looked away.

"W-w-well… I was really hungry that time, a-and…" Oh… Wait. What?!

"S-seriously? I was joking you know." I was trying to hold my laugh… and was failing miserably. Yuki suddenly glared at me

"You're mean… Hmmp.." then she pouted.

"Well, sorry, I was not expecting that though." Damn, beware the evil pout o' doom. Then we just sat there silently…

"But I think it was a good thing I was caught," What? And why is that?
"Why?"

"Because you came and saved me." I choked on my on saliva on that.

"Ah… err… Well…" Damn… what should I say?!

"Kyon, Nagato, Supper is ready." Asahina-san said as if she was ordering soldiers to form up for inspection. Wow, that was perfect timing. Well, she is a time traveler. Errr... You didn't read that. Wait, if she calls everyone by their surnames, why does she still call me by my horrible nickname? And where the hell did we get these camping equipment? "They were lying around a while ago, Kyon-kun." Oh, thanks Yuki.

"So… Let's go?" I stood up and stretched my hand to help Yuki.

"Yeah, let's" She replied. When we came at the campsite, Master was already there. So, the little one is hungry eh?

While eating, we suddenly heard someone shouting,

" HEEEEELLOOOOO!!! ANYBODY HOME!???" Crap… I know that voice.

This is going to be one wild night.


A/N:

confessor cabal: YA-HAA!!!

nliev: he said-" pls. review and art is a bang!"

confessor cabal: no I didn't. Art is eternal. And I didn't help in making this chapter… only with the editing and such. Oh yeah, L just enrolled in North High. Can't talk, typing…

nliev: I was the one to make this chap. Because confessor has to type his other stories. Well I should also be typing other stories ( I didn't post them yet) but I did this first, cause art is a BANG! (makes confessor explode). Well, I think there is something off with this chapter so if you see that thing or what ever, say it. Thanks, yeah.
