Me: I do not own Casshern Sins if I did, Dio would have lived and Leda would have been kicked out of the castle to die.
Chapter 9:
The next morning they were moving again. Lunar seemed to move a lot easier now. Dio noted that she was moving quicker to and kept that in mind. She was relatively cheerful which puzzled Dio seeing that she had just fought off robots the day before.
"Hey Dio...do you hate my name?" Her soft spoken voice pulled him from his thoughts.
He looked her way and found her with a frown.
"No it just poses a nuisance seeing you have the same name as her…," Dio replied coldly.
She looked down. "I…I see…"
They walked in silence for hours without anything important happening. A few robots crossed their path, but mostly empty lands. Lunar stopped suddenly seeing movement out of the corner of her eye. She followed a dark shadow dart from rock to rock. It was a lizard. She felt hunger come crashing down on her realizing she hadn't eaten in a long time. Her stomach growled in response and Lunar covered her stomach her arms let out a squeak of surprise and embarrassment while blushing heavily. Dio rolled his eyes and stopped to stare at her. They were only half way there. Dio glanced at the lizard as it disappeared into the sand. He thought for a moment before running forward and grabbing it. Lunar covered her eyes as stones flew everywhere from the impact.
"Here."
She uncovered her eyes seeing Dio in front of her holding out the lizard. She gave a shaky smile and started a fire. Lunar sat next to the fire. It crackled and burned lighting up the area around it. Lunar leaned back and looked at Dio, who was standing a few feet behind her. He looked to be contemplating something. Lunar smiled softly.
"I have to a-admit…I can't really understand you…one minute your mad at me and the next…well your being nice…," Lunar admitted.
Dio scuffed in reply. Lunar tilted her head as he looked away from her. She sighed frowning again.
"Are you always this cold to people?" She asked not surprised there wasn't a response.
She ate the lizard and laid down curling up shivering from the cold. Her dress had even more holes which made trying to get warm very hard. The silence was starting to get to her. Normally Dio wasn't this silent, but for some reason he would not speak to her.
"Am I really…that pathetic?" She murmured closing her eyes and falling asleep.
Dio came over and knelt down.
"No…," he murmured brushing a stray hair out of her face.
Her steady breathing was interrupted by harsh coughs that came from her form. His eyes narrowed at the sight of blood at the corner of her mouth. His hand brushed against it and it evaporated instantly. He eyed her again wondering many things. Slowly her breathing evened out again. He looked up at the sound of robots. Maybe one or two, he couldn't be sure.
