A/N: The sentences inside the are also Kurogane's thoughts.
We boarded the train and as expected it was empty, leaving wide extra spaces for the four of us. I was shocked when the guard hopped in. Is his shift done? What if something bad would happen? What kind of security guard is he?
The door barged close.
Finally I got to sit down, the blonde sat at the opposite side, he seemed awfully quiet. I wonder why he is quiet when riding trains? It is just an observation.
The train began to move, in a couple of minutes I would be out of here, away from this stupid train, the kids and that blonde. 7 more stations before I reach Tomoyo. I can almost imagine her surprised expression when she would open the door and there I was, even though I already called her and told her that I would not be able to make it tonight.
I looked out the window, it was still night time, the full moon was still present and the stars were in full view, the city night lights were never gone either. I wonder again of what Tomoyo would want to tell me that she could not tell over the phone.
"Ringo Station." The train operator, probably the same one, spoke from the speakers.
I have a weird feeling.. it feels like I want the train to slow down a bit, I do not feel like getting off for now… I am not saying that I do not want to reach my destination but, I think I want to spend a little more time with the idiot blonde.
…
Wait! What did I just said? I want to spend more time with the idiot? No freaking way! how can I even think of such absurd thoughts. I really need to get some sleep.
But a part of me does not want to go to sleep, as much as I do not want to admit it, I am afraid that when I open my eyes again, the blonde would be gone..
Several train stations had passed. I did not even bothered to count, I just know that a few second I would be getting off this train.
I took a glance at the pale man at the opposite side and found that he was fast asleep, his beautiful sapphire orbs were hidden behind his pale eye lids. I cannot believe I described his eyes as beautiful, but I think no harm would be done since no one can hear my thoughts anyway.
The train halted and I stood up and readied myself to leave. I took one more glance at the sleeping idiot before making my way to the door.
The brunette kid approached me.
"Before you leave, I want to thank you, sir, for helping me and my princess." He said to me.
"Help you?" I was surprised, as far as I remembered, I did no such thing.
"Yes, you helped us by just being with us." The boy was turning red.
Well.. I do not know what to say. I am not really good with this kinds of conversations because, well, to be honest I never really had any conversation like this before, I think this is the first time that a human being that I do not barely know actually said thank you to me.
"W-well.." I stammered, why the hell did I stammer? Stupid. "No problem.. I think."
The boy smiled.
"Hold on a second, mister." The security guard from the bizarre city called to me. What the hell is his problem now?
"You cannot go." He clearly stated.
This is the first time that I felt like I actually want to punch someone straight to the face.
"What the hell do you mean?" I yelled, my voice boomed inside the four sided closed train. The guard looked terrified.
From the corner of my eye I saw the blonde stirred, he opened his blue orbs and yawned.
"Sir, I was.." the security guard was about to explain with shaky voice when suddenly the sapphire orbed man spoke from his seat.
"Kuro-chan, you are being noisy, can you not see that I am resting?" he stated while rubbing his left eye. He looked really cute.. Oh for god sake's
"Stay out of this, you idiot!" I answered.
"Sir." The guard started.
I looked him in the eyes with one of my 'death glares' to shoved to his face that him interrupting my getting out of this place was really making me want to punch him to sent him flying off the train windows.
The security guard was trembling as he spoke, Which is really ironic since he is a security guard and he should really not be scared of me.
"Your highness Tomoyo sent me to fetch you." He said.
I was surprised, again.
"Fetch me?"
"Yes," he answered. "And your company." He nodded in the direction of the blonde and the kids.
"What?" I certainly do not know of what was happening. Everything seemed to be interrupting my simple plans for this night. The kids were pretty shocked too. Guess they did not know about this either. And the blonde too.
"You kids have to go too, Mister Toya knows, he was informed." He said to the both surprised brunette kids.
"How did you know my brother's name?" the girl asked.
"Master Tomoyo knows him. Please trust me." The security guard answered sincerely.
"How can I know that you are not some kind of kidnapper or something?" I asked him.
The guard seemed to be offended but he struggled to prove his innocence. He fished out his I.D. from his pocket and raised it to my face.
"See? I am an official security guard who works inside the Daidouji residence for about a year now, and yes I am new, and I do not even know why master Tomoyo asked me to do this job for in fact, she has millions of options from her other millions of security guards!" he ranted.
I do not know why I did not answer him, maybe because there is nothing more to say, maybe in this conversation a random security guard from Tomoyo's house won and I lost. I cannot believe I admitted defeat.
As far as I know, everything seemed like some dream while I am sleeping. The blonde regained his usual attitude of being excited as we exited the train and walked to Tomoyo's house, while the kids' face were overflowing with curiousness and doubt as they trailed behind us.
I could not wait to get there and demand a reasonable explanation from her.
