Sailor Takao R Chapter 10
The sounds of pleasure had filled the air as hands tried to reach for their distention. Then there was annoying ringing.
"Please don't answer it." came a whimper while hands tighten their hold onto the bed sheets. There was one strong thrust causing a choke moan. Then there was heavy pant followed after.
"I have to…" came a gruff reply. "It might be work." Johnny leaned forward kissed the other woman, who turn her head to the side. "What is it?"
"Is your job more important than me?" She wondered. Johnny frown his brows together. "You know, whatever! I am getting something to eat!" She let out a heavy sigh before leaving the room with only a shirt on. Johnny groaned as he rolled over to his laptop. He had position it so it didn't see the mess of the bedroom.
"Ohiyo General Dragoon." Johnny smirk as he stared at the dragon on the screen.
"What games are you playing at?" Johnny's smirk died a bit, but he only smiled.
"No games, what is the report?" he decided to get things moving along.
"Maxine has found her way back to the sailor soldiers." Johnny arch a brow in interested.
"Without her memories being activated?" Dragoon nodded. "Fascinating!" Johnny sounded upset.
"Yes, but the princess is aware of what is going on as well." Johnny was now confused.
"How? I thought team was being very careful?"
"I thought so too, but it seems the princess was using her powers." Johnny let out a irritation sigh.
"Then how come the team didn't predict this? Aren't they part of the same family?" Johnny wondered. He really didn't want to go to Japan. Dragoon appeared to be trying to calm himself.
"Just because they share same blood, doesn't mean Catherine can predict the outcomes of biological events." Dragoon sounded stern.
"So… what does that mean?" Johnny wondered.
"It means the princess will be awaken soon." Johnny narrowed his gaze as he thought about the statement. Then he leaned back into his chair.
"Wouldn't that be a good thing?"
"Yes, but it also means a punishment will be dealt out." Johnny groaned. "Either the Prince or warrior will get it. They had failed their mission on giving the Princess a normal life." Johnny let out a chuckle.
"Heh, I wonder what of trouble our dear Prince will suffer." Johnny really like the idea that something bad would happen to Tala.
"Stop that!" came a hiss. Johnny interrupted from his delicious thoughts. "Those two have been fighting with everything they had." Johnny groan in irritation.
"Then they should have asked be to cleanse!" came a growl. Dragoon looked shocked by this.
"You don't care about her anymore do you?" Johnny narrowed his gaze.
"I have no idea what you are talking about."
"What is it? Did you get lonely and find yourself another lass?" Dragoon taunted. Johnny's eyes widen briefly, then he narrowed his gaze into a glare while clenched his hand into a fist.
"How dare you!" he warned. Dragoon flinched slightly. "What I do is mine business!"
"Heh… yeah right! It has everything do with me as long as she is involved!"
"Right! Well it seems we are done! Goodbye General!" Before the dragon could protest, Johnny had end communication between them. He let out a heavy sigh before standing up
Downstairs, Johnny had joined his new lady, who was trying to make pancakes.
"Hello Darling." He purred as he came up right behind her.
"Johnny! Please! I'm trying to make breakfast!" came a giggle.
"Oh come on sweet pea. Just allow Oliver do it." Johnny continued to tickle the young woman.
"Let Oliver do what?" came a snapped. The two had stop giggling before looking over at the man who entered the kitchen. Oliver was dressed in his usual white collar shirt with a pair of black slacks. The French man has been in a sour mood since discovering Johnny's affair. "Oh? You want some breakfast?" Oliver wondered sarcastically.
"Oliver, please lets not do this day?" Johnny begged. Oliver narrowed his gaze onto the young woman before shifting his gaze back to this friend.
"{Then when do we get to do it? Because this is unfair for Catherine!}" he hissed.
"{How is it unfair! When she has the earth prince all to herself back in Japan!}" He growled out. Oliver took a deep breath as he continued to glare at Johnny.
"{You don't know that!}"
"{It's the reason why my visa was expired!}" Johnny nearly yelled at the other man. Oliver let out a sigh.
"Fine! I'll make breakfast! What do we want darling?" Even though his words sounded friendly, his tone was another story. The young woman staggered away from the stove.
"Its fine! I made pancakes for us!" smiled the woman. She finished the last cake and set on the plate. Oliver's eyes widen in horror at the mess and blacken pancakes. "Don't worry about the mess!" smiled the woman.
"I wasn't going to." Oliver grabbed himself a plate while the woman looked surprised. Oliver sat down at his long dining table with a single cake on his plate. He cut it open and discovered it was still raw in the middle. He shifted his gaze back towards the happy and giggling couple. He couldn't take it anymore. He stood up.
"I'm leaving." Johnny looked up surprised.
"Eh? But we are about to eat?"
"Yes well, I have appointment in the city, and I don't want to be late! Have good day." Oliver forced a smile as he pulled on his coat and left the house.
"Did I do something wrong?" wondered the young woman.
"No sweet pea. Its fine! Lets eat!" Once Johnny sat down, he realized the horror of the food before him. It was all burnt. He forced a smile before started eating.
Later that day, Oliver was called to the hospital. Johnny had to get his stomach pump since whatever he ate was poising to him. Instead of comforting his woman, Oliver just left her in the waiting room while he waited in Johnny's room for the guy to wake up after his minor surgery. Johnny groan as he came too.
"Where am I?" he asked in a gruff voice. His throat was sore and wonder what had happen to him.
"Your in the university hospital de la Pitiesalpetriere." Oliver sounded tired. Johnny slowly turned his body towards his friend. "It seems you have ingested some that didn't agree with you." He stated. Johnny continued to groan as he stared up at the ceiling.
"How is Salima? Is she okay?"
"I don't know…" Johnny perked up in surprised while Oliver looked bored. "And I particular don't give a rat's ass about the woman." Johnny narrowed his gaze as he was about to open his mouth say something, but Oliver beat him to it. "And you can threaten me all you want, but I want you guys out of my villa!" Johnny let out a heavy sigh. "I don't want to be involve in your misdemeanours anymore." Oliver stated. "May have gotten Robert and Enrique too keep quiet with your idol threats, but they won't work on me." Johnny tilted his head up towards the man before him.
"Coming from a man who lives in one night stands." Johnny's voice sounded horse and weak.
"I may indulge in the risky activity of bedding women, but I at least I don't go hiding it." Oliver stated with a growl.
"Fine! We'll be out of there today." Johnny groan.
"Good, I'll go sign for the forms." Oliver stood up and walked over to the clipboard that was hanging on the wall. Johnny narrowed his gaze in wondered.
"You mean? I am free to go?"
"No… I am just giving the doctors confirmation on where to send the medical bills."
"Thanks…"
"Please don't mention it." Johnny looked up at Oliver. The man was not happy with him, and he knew that. Yet here he was, still willing to foot his medical bills and give him a place to stay. "Though I have to say, I am very impress that Sir Starlight had allowed you access to those tomes. Even with another woman around your arms." Johnny rolled his eyes.
"What can I say? I talk up a good game." Smiled the red head.
"Indeed, call me if anything else rises. Have a good day McGregor." Oliver tip his hat before leaving. Johnny let out a breath, he didn't realize he was holding. He thought dealing with Catherine's older brothers would be scary, but he forgot how much Oliver loved the woman. If things were different, Johnny wondered if he would be in Oliver's shoes. Taking care of his friend who continued to cheat on the woman he cared so dearly. Johnny knew he was hurting more people than he thought.
~W~
Back at the villa, Oliver was cutting himself some vegetables for dinner. He kept looking at Johnny's computer. The red head had left his computer behind incase Dragoon tried to contract him. With a heavy sigh, he figured he might as well ask. He walked over towards the computer and turned it on. It a moment for it a load up. There wasn't much to the computer other than a single icon. Oliver thought it was odd since it was Starlight brand computer, Oliver thought Johnny would have personalities it, but he was impress with the young man. It was very simple and plain. He took the mouse and clicked on the odd icon. It wasn't one of the main stream ones he was familiar with. It was a crescent moon with an odd symbol he didn't recognize. He assumed it was form of Kanji.
Once he had activated the icon, a tiny animation of a hawk appeared on the screen. Oliver couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the little bird do a silly little dance.
Then it spoke in unfamiliar language, which brought up a video feed. Right away, the odd feline had appeared on screen.
"This Dragoon, from Japan, you are coming in loud and clear." Oliver was happy to hear familiar language. He was slightly concern that the guardian would be speaking in their native tongue. Though he wondered how Johnny convinces the creature to speak English.
"Uh… Hello there Dragoon!" Oliver smiled. The creature looked surprised to see him. "I was wondering how things are going over there?"
"Uh-Greeting! Sorry I was excepting Salamlyon to be here. Is something wrong?" Oliver gasp in horror and surprised.
"Oh No! I must apologizes, I was just curious on how things doing." The dragon nodded.
"You were wondering about Catherine?" Oliver chuckled nervously.
"Am I really that oblivious?" Oliver moved the computer so he could continued on making dinner.
"No, I just took a guess and that guess was right. Anyway, the princess has been activated for duty." Oliver's eyes widen.
"What! But what about the punishment?"
"I don't know yet, but I am worried things have been put in motion long before." Oliver looked concern as he tried to think of what kind of punishment would occur.
"I see, so all the sailor soldiers are now awaken for duty?" Dragoon nodded. "Well, I guess that would make fighting this new threat easy then." Oliver stated. Dragoon frown his brows together.
"Easy? Maybe, but the monsters are easily overcoming their defences. We nearly lost them in the last battle." Oliver's eyes widen in surprised.
"Lost them? How?"
"This new enemy is after life energy, and had trapped all the sailor guardians except for Soldier Ice and the princess. The princess was capture and it looked like all hope was lost." Oliver couldn't believe what he was hearing. "But it seems the our prays were answer and the princess was activated for duty. Soldier Metal has had her soul cleanse." Oliver arched a brow.
"Cleanse? Why does she need her soul cleanse?" Dragoon looked confused before letting out a heavy sigh.
"It seems our dear friend Salamlyon has been keeping secrets." Oliver let out a heavy sigh. This wasn't the first time, he heard Johnny keeping things to himself. The man was having a affair. "During their time in the dark kingdom, Catherine and Yuri had gotten some dark energy absorbed into their souls. Making their powers to fight against evil harder." Oliver only shook his head.
"When did this all happen?" wondered the young man.
"About a month or so." Oliver's gaze had widen in realization. Johnny had met Salima about a month ago. She had joined him for a gala party that was hosted by Catherine's father. "The two had particular hard time fighting a monster which put Metal out of commission for a while." Soldier Metal's punishment for allowing the princess to see was her love for Johnny. Oliver's expression had changed dramatically. His whole frame began to tremble. "Uh… Unicolyon is something the matter?" Oliver perked to his code name.
"No… Thank you Dragoon for the update."
"Okay, ending communications, good night Unicolyon." The video feed had stop and the icon return back. Oliver's hand clenched into a fist.
"It's not fair… Why? Why didn't he tell us they need backup?" In a fit of rage, Oliver threw off his dinner. "Oh Catherine… Please forgive me." He murmured.
~W~
Johnny was laughing with Salima. The two were waiting at the airport for their flight.
"Oh Johnny! It's going be exciting to go to Scotland!" Johnny smiled as he looked down at the young woman before him. She wore the traditional thick cotton trench coat that was black with matching boots. It made her hair stand out even more. Her soft blue eyes were breath taking. She paused in her giggling before looking up at him. "What is Johnny?"
"Nothing… I am just admiring how beautiful you are." Her cheeks turn pink at the compliment.
"Johnny," she whined as she shy away from his touch. "You are too good to be true." She purred. He smiled as she turned to face him. She ran her finger up and down his coat. "You know, it's going to be awhile for our flight." She purred while pulling him closer. This had caught his interested. "How about we go find some dark corner and…" She slipped her hands into his jacket causing him to chuckle.
"You! My dear, are such a little minx." He leaned down to place a soft kiss upon her lips. She giggled against his lips.
"Can you blame me? You are so devilishly handsome."
Just as he was about to deepen the kiss, his phone vibrated. He pulled out the small mobile deceived as he continued on kissing the woman within his arms.
"Honey… please put that away."
"Come on Baby, its just a text." The young woman whined as Johnny open up the text message. His eyes widen at the picture that was given to him. "Excuse me, I need to go deal with this!" He quickly pushed the young woman away who began to whine and grumble. Then she went over to the shops that were there for her leisure.
"Catherine!" He snapped into the phone. He was pissed. "I know we are having a hard time, but how could you hide this from me!" he growled into the mouth piece.
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"Catherine!" He took a deep breath to calm his breathing. "This is big, even bigger than us getting married!"
"Johnny.." came tired whined. "What are yer talking about? You are making less sense than Manami." Johnny's eyes widen at the name. It was traditional Japanese name. He began to wonder if she had chosen because she was in country. He was an idiot to leave her alone.
"Manami? Is that name you chosen Cat?" Johnny sounded most hopeful. Then his gaze shifted over to Salima who was talking to a salesclerk. "Catherine, please move to Glasgow with the baby." He was pleading with her.
"Are you daft? That's kidnapping!" Now Johnny was confused now.
"Kidnapping? How can it be kidnapping when its your own child?" Johnny smiled at the old lady that walked by. He waved at her before returning his focus back to the phone.
"John." The sound of his name rolling of her tongue had done things to him. He began to wonder if he was truly over her. "The baby isn't yours" His eyes widen in rage. He knew it! The prince had sneaked his way into his fiancée bed and-
"You are kidding me! It better not be-"
"And its not mine!" She had interrupted him. Now he really confused. "Its for a mission, one of the monsters here had attacked nursery and the child was the only survivor in the attack. The hospitals needed volunteers, so I decided to help!"
"I see…" Johnny began to relax, but he was still upset with her. He also took notice of her stoic tone. "Then how come you didn't say that in your message?"
"I am sorry, I forgot to write one. I just thought you might like a cute picture of baby who had similar looks like us. I guess I was wrong, Good night McGregor." The phone line went dead before he could say anything else. He clenched his hand around the mobile deceived. He knew it was late over there, but he was still pissed. He shifted his gaze over to Salima who looked to be enjoying herself. He quickly pocket the phone and marched over to her.
"Come on." He quickly grabbed her by the elbow. She gasped in surprised before waving goodbye to the salesclerk.
"Johnny? What has gotten into you?" He led them to abandon hallway, where he pushed her into a tiny clove. "Johnny-" He quickly silences her with a hard kiss. "Oh john." She purred as she felt his hands go up her skirt. She began to mewl in pleasure as he hands went to work. He had to be careful, since she didn't react well to his magic like his other lover did, but he needed a release right now. After freeing himself from the confines of his pants, he thrust deep within her. She gasped out as her head loll around. He continued on with his pace, trying to keep her quiet by stealing kisses ever now and then. She didn't last long until she came with a startling moan. "Hmmm John." She fell weakly against him. This was something that bothered him. He was never satisfied with this one. She would tired along before he could even achieve. He quickly stuff himself back into his pants and tried fix them up.
"Come on Darling, we'll be late for our flight." She stood on weak legs as he dragged her along the airport.

The sun sunk into the ground colouring the sky red as Soldier Metal had leaped up and destroys the strange new creature with ease. She was able to mend the tear it had created, but it was still running around free.
It had crumble into dust and odd jewel was left behind. She was about to take a picture of it with her phone until it rang within her grasp. She gasps out in surprised as she fumbles with it. Nearly dropping it in the process she was able to answer it.
"Hello?" she was curious on who was calling her.
"Hey! We have a monster here! Where are you!" came a growl. She recognized the voice right away as they yelled into the mic. Soldier Metal narrowed her gaze in irritation.
"I am on my way!" she quickly snapped the phone shut and leaped into the air.
In abandon park, the sailor Guardians were struggling against a monster. Their foe was attacking them head on. Soldier Ice had laid few traps but Sailor Wind got mixed up in those. It had caused them Sailor Wind, Fire and Lighting. Leaving Spirit and Water to fend off the monster. The creature was stronger than anything they had fought before. Ice was only able to draw it's attention away. Since his soul wasn't cleansed yet, he was only able to distract the creatures.
"Ice bubbles!" The monster had turned around and sent the attack back. Water and Spirit cried out in pain as the attack had hit them. Soldier Ice narrow his gaze onto the creature. The monster watched him before a smile appeared upon its face. Soldier Ice took a step forward, but paused when he noticed the look of surprise on the creature's face. It had burst into tiny lights before returning into a card. Soldier Metal was kneeling behind the dust, trying to catch her breath. Sweat rolled down her face. Sailor Wind came running over and leaped onto Metal.
"Yay! You saved us!" grinned the sailor girl. Metal offered a weak smile as Soldier Ice came over with a glare upon his face. Metal had took noticed of it. Before she could ask, the surrounding victims were slowly waking up. They had to leave.
~W~
The group decided to meet up at the Kinomiya garden. It had offered them enough space to transform in secret and return back without anyone really noticing them. Walking out of the foliage, Takao bolted to the kitchen and grabbed sweets to eat.
"This is their third attack they had made." Dragoon stated. "Since we installed the new detection system. Its still not good enough." Dragoon narrowed his gaze onto the group. "Any new ideas?"
"Dragoon…. Getting that energy signature wasn't easy." Catherine spoke up.
"Also, the coding into creating that program. I am sure there are still bugs I can work on." Manabu pulled out her laptop and began to analyze the data.
"It's working, but our enemies are getting smarter." Kai stated.
"Or desperate." Tala added in. This had aroused everyone's attention. "These attacks are random and not very well planned. They are using the children as distraction while they are still able to escape with energy."
Catherine let out a heavy sigh as she rubbed her forehead. "So, our fearless leader, what is your next move?" Tala narrowed his gaze onto Catherine who looked tired.
"What me?" She surprised. "Why am I the leader?"
"Because you are the only one who communicates with the knights." There was hint of bitterness lace within that sentences. Catherine groan in irritation.
"I don't know…"
"So, are you going to allowed them to continued on stealing from the innocents?" wondered Tala.
"No! But trying to figure out who these aliens are, and its not easy!" she snipped back.
"Well we can't keep patrolling the city!" Tala shouted back. Catherine narrowed her gaze. "We are stretching ourselves thin!" Catherine bit her lower lip as the group slowly backed away from their eldest warriors.
"Then we need more help!"
"How? We don't have the resources nor the man power!" Tala stated.
"We do! If only could make a case for the Majestic-"
"Heh, you're kidding me right?" Catherine looked surprised. "You are going to relied on your Fiancée to bail us out?" Tala's tone was taunting. "You would like that! Wouldn't you!" Catherine narrowed her gaze. "To have your big shiny knight in armour to come rescue you." The bitterness was evidenced in his voice.
"N-no! Not to rescue me! But to help us! Like you said, we are stretching ourselves thin!"
"Where were you!" Catherine looked surprised.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, I called you three times, and you didn't answer!"
"Yuri!"
"Catherine!" The two were nose to nose with each other.
"Hey!" Takao came over. "How about we calm down and-"
"You are such a jealous stupid head!" she yelled. Takao whimpered in fear as she was pulled back by Ray.
"That's not even a good insult! You meat ball head!" Catherine gasp in horror as she covered her favourite hairstyle.
"You said you like them!"
"I was lying! Now that I am being truthful! You are a moron with meats balls and spaghetti for brains!" he yelled. Catherine's eyes widen in horror. She was in shock, before she narrowed her gaze onto the red head.
"Well who wants a traitors dog for a companion that falls for the dark side!"
"Get off your high horse! You are just the same as me!" he growled. Catherine sniffled before shaking her head.
"I don't need this! I am out of here!" she grumbled. She head towards the main house.
"Fine! Go running to your knight!" He hissed. Then he cursed before grabbing his school bag. "Call me when the princess has calm down!" Tala stated with a growl before he went storming away.
When the gate had slammed shut, Takao looked like she was about to start crying. The rest of the teens didn't know what to do.
"Whoa…" Manabu commented, as she couldn't believe what took place. "Something else has to be going on for them explode like that." Maxine wore an uneasy smile.
"Maybe, they are just lusting after each other?" The blonde offered.
"Whatever the case is. We need those two to make nice if we plan on doing anything about the enemy." Dragoon stated. "Ray? Takao?" the two siblings looked at each other before looking at the feline. "You guys know them best, mind trying to mend whatever issue they are having?" The two nodded with hesitation. "Great, Manabu is there anyway we help with the program."
"I just need time and no interruption." She replied.
"Great! I think we all need some much need rest." The group nodded before splitting up. Ray and Takao were heading to the main house as Maxine ran over to catch up with them.
"Hey guys! I have an idea which could help the those two make nice!" Takao and Ray exchange looks.
"Okay what?" Ray wondered while Takao looked nervous.
"Right! So I was thinking…" she pulled them in close and whispered the plan to them.
~W~
Ali let out a soft curse as he stood before the Makai tree. He fix his gaze onto the dark and twisted tree. As much as he enjoyed the fight with the sailor guardians, things were getting little bit annoying. He couldn't figure out they knew where they were attacking next. Each time, they were able to escape with a barely minimum energy to survive. When he turned to look for his lover, he noticed she was off in a daze. He only rolled his eyes. It did annoy him how she was allowed to lust after that odd male human, and he got yelled at for even calling another girl cute. Though he had to admit, he was lusting after female human as well. It was strange how the humans they wanted, were always together. Ali wonder how long it will take for his potion to take effect before the two are at each other.
"Hey An." The young pink hair alien perked up when she heard her name. She came floating over. "I heard coffee shops were a great place to gather energy from youth we so desire." He made imagines of happy couples leaving coffee shops and pastry shops. "What do you think?"
"I think it's a prefect place Ali." The blue hair alien smiled.
"Great, now my love chooses a new cardian." An smiled as she picked a card that floated up into air. "Great choice."
~W~
Catherine had crawled onto her bed and began sobbing. She smothers her head into the pillows. Her argument with Johnny, about coming to Japan was still lingering in her mind. He kept saying there wasn't enough evidences for the knights to come. She reached for her phone. Without even looking at it, she was able to get the call icon and dial the phone number she wanted. She sniffled as she brought the phone to her ear.
"Boujour!" came a chirper voice. Catherine couldn't help the loud sob that escapes her as she held the phone close. "Oh… Moi Cherie, please take your time." Came the soft replied. Catherine rolled onto her side.
"Oh Olive… Everything is falling apart." She whimpered into the phone.
"Tell me what's wrong darling."
"I need my friend." She continued to sob.
"Okay darling, I will be there as soon as I can okay?" Catherine nodded her head. "All right, I am assuming you are nodding love." Catherine let out a hiccup. "Are you going to be okay for tonight?"
"Yes." She whimpered out.
"All right, I need to hang up now Darling, and I will be there in no time." Catherine listen as the phone went dead. She pulled her legs to her chest where she began sobbing into her knees.
~W~
At school, Ray went looking for Catherine, but couldn't find her. It was odd, since she was rather easy to spot in a crowd. He frown his brows together before he headed to the foreign exchange centre. He spotted Tala sitting at one of the desk studying.
"Hey man," He pulled up a chair to sit next to the red head. Tala had looked up at him, before dropping his gaze.
"Hi…" Came a quiet murmured. Ray's eyes widen.
"Dude… what happen to you? You look like shit?" he spoke in hushed tones. Tala groaned as he rubbed his forehead.
"I don't want to talk about it." he replied.
"Awe, but I was hoping you would join us for lunch!" The teen grinned the cheesy smile that Tala has ever seen. It made him let out a heavy sigh.
"Fine." Ray gave a little cheered as Tala closed his books. Then the two headed out towards the cafeteria.
They spotted Kai, who was glaring at Manabu. The girl was busy talking about something, but ignoring Kai's glare. The two came down with their lunches. Ray had gotten some pasta dish while Tala got a cup of noodles.
"Hey can we join?" wondered Ray.
"Please do! She won't shut up." Came a growl. Manabu narrowed her gaze onto the teen.
"Hey! Just because you are not interested in how coding works doesn't mean you have to be rude!" she snipped.
"I have no idea what you are talking about!" he nearly shouted at her. Manabu looked annoyed before shifting her gaze towards Tala.
"I see you and Catherine haven't made up yet." Manabu commented. Tala let out another sigh. "Though I don't see why she has to punish all of you." Tala arched a brow as he looked at the other two males. Ray just continued on grinned.
"She used to make our lunches too." Kai continued to grumble as he ate his store brought lunch. "But she was gone before I even got up." Tala just shrugged.
"I have no idea where she could be." He replied.
"I have an idea I need run by someone." Tala perked up. "I am using a javascript to write this program with the help of my mini computer, but I am having problem with DOM. It seems the data that Catherine had collected seem to trigger a malfunction." Tala tilted his head to the side.
"You need to go back into Vanilla javascript, check the framework and rewrite the script so it accepted the negative impulses." Tala replied. Manabu narrowed her gaze for a moment before she went on typing.
"Huh! You're right, the initial program can't withstand the drop of negative points. Thank you." Manabu went on fixing the error. "I thought you were in general studies?"
"I was, I am now heading towards astrophysics since math is same across the board." Tala rested his head against the table. The three all shared a look.
"Are you having trouble understanding the work?" wondered Manabu.
"No!" Tala grumbled out. "Yes!" he replied with a whine. "Our fight has become a big distraction for me!" He growled out. His popped his head up so fast it caused all three to flinched. "I just feel so bad after what I said to- Catherine!" His eyes widen.
"Yes, we know it was Catherine." Manabu stated.
"No! There is she!" Tala quickly stood up and left the table. Kai and Ray were trying to see if they find the young woman.
"Where? I haven't been able to find her all day on campus." Spoke Ray.
"Maybe she wants avoid all of us." Manabu commented. The boys stared at her. "Oh come on! You guys can't be that thick headed!" She groan in irritation. "Boys!" Ray and Kai went back to eating.
"Women." Manabu rolled her eyes.
Tala ran through the crowd of students. He kept saying sorry and excuse me amongst the crowd. Then the bell range signal a change of class. He groaned as new rush of students came. He lost sight of Catherine in the sea of students. He stomp his foot in frustration.
~W~
"Hey there Catherine!" Catherine lowered her gaze as Seijuro had her pin against the lockers. He had slammed her locker close before she could get her books. "Is something wrong? You don't seem like you're cheerful self." A weak smile appeared upon her features.
"Whatever do you mean Seijuro?" she smiled sweetly towards him.
"Well, I've noticed Tala hanging out in the exchange centre during lunch hour instead of with you." Seijuro decided to mention. He wanted to touch the woman, but he read somewhere that it was against human law or something. He had to wait for her permission.
"And with that piece of information you assume something is wrong?" Seijuro's eyes widen in surprised. "Buddy, you need to learn a lot about women." Then an mysterious smile appeared upon his face. "Besides, its not like we have lunch together all the time." She tried to reason. Even though hurt her not to see the red head.
"True, but how about you show me the ways of your gender?" he stepped back and held out a single rose for her. Catherine gaze had soften as she looked at the item. "You know, something casual." He stated. Then Catherine's phone started ringing. "Call me with answer." He quickly scribble his number onto her hand before leaving. "This is just incase you forgot my number." Catherine had looked at the number before watching his retreating form. The young woman let out heavy sigh as she took out her phone. To her surprised, it wasn't message about a monster instead it was a signal. Then she looked at the number on her hand before a familiar clicking sound had filled the air.
"Is everything all right darling?" came a purr. Catherine looked up at the slightly taller Frenchman.
"Yeah…"
"That's good, so who was that charming young man?" Catherine quickly grabbed her books and shut the locker.
"Just a friend." She stared at the single rose.
"Only a friend?" Oliver decided to tease. "Oh darling! You're breaking my heart!" Oliver did the dramatics. Catherine giggled as she watched young man did his theatrically display. Then he wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close. She wasn't in uniform, but was wearing a cute pale blue pea coat. He wore his usual outfit. "Now when a man gives a woman a rose. It's a signal that he wants to be more than just friends." Catherine gaze widen as she stared at the rose before her.
"Oh…"
"Oh dear, I wonder how many hearts you could have broken." Catherine turned pink at the accusation.
"What! I didn't know that!" She gasp in horror. It made Oliver grin while she stared at him in horror.
"Come darling! Tea is calling for us!" Oliver began to drag her along.
~W~
"A coffee shop?" Tala stood before the boys. "Uh… I guess but I really can't stay long. I have homework I need to catch up on." Ray's gaze had lit up while Kai looked neutral.
"No problem, I know the prefect place!" Ray led the way with Kai and Tala following at slower pace.
"So… I know it only happen two nights ago, but is everything all right?" Kai decided to ask. A weak smile appeared on Tala's face.
"Heh, always straight to the point with you. You really don't waste much time talking." Kai looked annoyed by the commented. "Yeah… I think we just need some space. She's trying to hard." He added. Then he began to think about. "Boy, we have on messed up relationship." Kai narrowed his gaze onto the young man.
"Oh yeah, explain." Came the demanded.
"How do I explain it to a kid?" Tala wondered. Now Kai was pissed, and Ray was snicker up ahead. Kai had tried everything in his power to seem more mature, then the others. "I guess to put it simply. I love her." Kai paused while Ray was in shock. "And I can't imagine a life without her. She means the world to me."
Heh, I am sure we can find away around the treaty. I have no desire to destroy the moon or sire any children.
Those words had echo within Kai's mind. They had reached the coffee shop, both Tala and Ray had noticed the teen sudden lag behind.
"Is everything all right Kai?" Tala wondered.
"How… How can you be so calm?" Kai tilted his head, so his bangs shadow over his eyes. "I don't understand it!" His body began to quiver. Tala only smiled. "I couldn't even stand it if she was with another!" Ray looked at the two in confusion.
"Well, if you remember. We both yelled at each other two days ago. So no, I am not calm about it." Kai perked up. "It's a work in process, and we need to talk. Now! Lets have some coffee!" Tala held the door open for the two boys as they walked in. The three of them had found a table near the back.
~W~
"You really can't tell me who are these friends you invited?" Catherine wondered. Oliver held the door open the young woman.
"Nope! Because it would ruin the surprised!" Catherine shot the young man a look before they found a table near the front of the coffee shop. Catherine had pulled off her coat to reveal a black dress with a Victoria neckline that cut off at the shoulders. Oliver could help the gasp that escaped him. She tilted her head as she looked up at him.
"Aren't you going to sit?" she wondered. Oliver snapped out of his stupor before sitting across from her.
"You my dear, are a vision." Catherine blushed.
"I am sure you say that to all the girls." She grinned.
"Indeed, I do, and I usually go home with a partner." Oliver eyes followed the female waitress that walked by, which made Catherine giggled.
"Catherine!" Someone plastered themselves to the glass window scaring Catherine. "OMG! You are so pretty!" came a gush. Catherine narrowed her gaze before a smile grace her features. Takao, Maxine and Manabu had entered the coffee shop and sat at their table. The young teen threw herself onto her cousin. "Are you going on a date afterwards?" Taka wondered as she sat rather close the young woman.
"Date? Who would I date?" she wondered. The waitress came over and the group soon made their orders for pastries and drinks.
"Just coffee?" Manabu shot the young woman a look while Catherine looked surprised.
"What else does one drink in a coffee shop?"
"Why not try something new!" chirp the young teen.
"Yeah!" Maxine agreed with Takao.
"Heh, no thank you, besides we are going to be eating cake." Maxine pouted which made Oliver and Catherine laugh.
"But sweets are good for the mind and soul!" stated the blonde.
"Really?" Catherine arched a suspicious brow. "Is that your philosophy?" Maxine nodded while Catherine took a sip of her drink. She made a sour face.
"What's wrong darling? Didn't get the right drink?" Oliver wondered.
"Yeah, you guys can wait here. I am going to get it exchange." The group nodded as Catherine had excused herself. She walked up to the counter.
"Excuse me!" She and another person were trying to get a hold of the cashier. Her eyes widen in recognition. She couldn't believe it! She had tried to avoid the certain person, but it seem their friends were worried about them. She dropped her gaze with a pink blush across her cheeks.
"I think we were set up." Came a quiet murmured.
"Indeed, I wonder why our friends care so much about us." Tala had supplied softly. "But I know for fact that none of the people at my table are not smart enough to pull this off." Tala allowed his gaze to trail back to his table. The two boys were chuckling and talking amongst themselves. "Well, it seems we have some choices to make!" Catherine took a sharp breath in. "We could either exchange our drinks and pretend we didn't see each other or…"
"Or ditch everyone?" Catherine finished off. Her drifted over to her table of friends. When her gaze landed on Oliver, she was instantly reminded of Johnny; her fiancée who was currently over seas, trying to make a living for both of them.
"Cat?" Her eyes widen in surprise. She open and closed her mouth before dropping her gaze. A man who barely took the time to call her. She took a hold of Tala's hand.
"Let's go!" Tala's gaze widen as he tighten his hold on her. The two took off running, leaving a very confused waitress behind and a pair of eyes lingering on them as they ran.
~W~
The sounds of giggles had filled the air as Tala had taken them to his place. It took Tala a moment to realize how close the shop was to his apartment. He thought whoever the master mind was behind this little set up, was really clever. He leaned against his door trying to catch his breath while Catherine continued to giggle. He was slowly coming off his natural high. His gaze drifted towards young woman that he brought with him. She stood against the glow of the setting sun, which gave her angelica look. He was still panting and couldn't figure out why. He noticed her cheeks were coloured pink. She approached him. He lifted his hands onto her bare shoulder where he gentle caress the skin. It seem she was also trying to catch her breath while She leaning into his embrace. It's been awhile since they were alone together in the apartment.
"So… we're alone now." She murmured softly. Tala nodded his head. He gulped nervously.
"Yeah…. In a place where no one can bother us." He spoke in a low whisper as though they were hiding in secret. He dropped his hands to his side where she laced their fingers together. She shifted her gaze up to look into his pale blue eyes. He felt his cheeks heat up. "Where… no one can bother us." He echoes out his words again. She drop her gaze, so she could rest her head against his chest. His hold on her was loose and would flex against hers. He gentle stroke the side of her thumb. Even though the touch was innocent, it sent his heart racing. He licked his lips to moist them before he shifted their position.
He had pinned her against the wall with ease. There was very little resistances with the little exchange. Her heels had help with the height differences, but he was still a great deal taller than her. He leaned forward and tilted her head up so he stared into those dark blue eyes.
"I am sorry…for saying those things." She shook head.
"No, I am sorry, I've been playing with your emotions-" Her eyes widen when he pressed finger to her lips.
"I am going to ask you question." She slowly nodded her head. "Do you like being alone with me?" he whispers against her skin. His breath ghost over her skin creating a shiver.
"I-I think so…" her voice was barely a whisper. "More than I think…" she added. He watched her expression change. Her cheeks grew rosy with colour and he wondered what he should do next.
He parted her legs with his knee bring their bodies closer together. A whimper escaped her, which the sound had excited him. Before he could push this any further, he need to know.
"Catherine?" She looked up at him with those hazy eyes. She seem to be lost in thought. "Are you only here because you are lonely for Johnny?" he wondered. She dropped her gaze.
"I don't know…" She said meekly.
"So… I am assuming the phone call was indeed a mistake." He stated.
"Phone call-" her eyes widen in surprises as realization soon dawn onto her. "That… That was you…" She whispered. Tala shifted his gaze to the side before nodding. His own cheeks were coloured as well. Catherine hesitantly nibble on her bottom lip. It made sense to her now. He was the one who participated in such a naughty act.
"I am sorry for not telling you sooner." He confess. "But I wanted to keep that single moment to myself forever." Catherine shifted her gaze as she couldn't look at him anymore. She could feel her heart racing within her chest.
Then he gentle guide her head back to look at him. A soft gasp escape her. Her lips were swollen from all the nibbling she been doing. He run his finger along the bottom before he grasp a hold of her head.
"Catherine… you make me crazy in every sense the word!" He muttered to her as he rested his forehead against hers. "I don't think you realize how much I want drive myself into you." A gasp had escape her as he rolled his hips up against her. His fingers began to lace themselves through her hair. "Catherine…" he whine out her name. "I am in fault as much as you are. Because I am participating this in relationship as equally. So please don't worry about my emotions." He heard her breath hitch as her fingers gripped the side of his jacket.
"Oh Yuri…" Her hold on his jacket had loose. Then reach up towards his shoulder and slowly pushing off his school jacket. He watched as she began to unbutton his shirt in matter he could consider to be torture. She pulled the rest of his shirt free from his pants in order to get to the last few buttons. Her hands tremble as they gentle took the shirt off. Her eyes widen at the different scars he had. There was one in particular that caught her interested. It was slash across his body with the skin slightly melted near the seams of it.
"Heh… I remember that one…" He murmured softly. She shifted her gaze back up at him. He continued to watch her with interest. Then she step up onto her tip toes to - -
Both of their cell phones began ringing. Tala let out a low growl as he took his phone out. It was Ray, and Catherine looked at her own.
"Of course a Cardian has to attack now." He snapped. Catherine let out soft sigh as she ran her fingers across his bare chest.
"Well… I guess that means we are meant to wait?" She wondered. His gaze found her.
"Oh waiting is such sweet torture isn't it." He growled against her. This had arouse a giggle from her. "Catherine…" she perked up. "There is a limit to how long I am willing to wait." He stated. She nodded her head.
He pushed himself away from the wall and went to get his shirt. Catherine quickly sent text reply, saying they will be there shortly. They once against exchange looks. Oh yeah, there definitely won't be much sleeping tonight, if they had their way. Tala held the door open for her.
"My warrior princess?" He offered. Catherine couldn't take her eyes off of him as she walked out. "Shall try to make this battle quick?" She nodded her head as he followed her out. Boy, he hoped this monster will be an easy one as they darted down the stairs.

A/N: Oliver is one of my favourite characters to write! Because in my mind, he always this friendly guy that would do anything to help his buddies, but he has his limits too. Also, he wasn't always so interested in Catherine. He only realize his feeling after the fact. I keep bouncing back and forth from writing a Soldier Metal story, a beginning where she finds the knights. I do have a few chapters in my files, but... I dunno... I think I am over doing it. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy reading this! Byeee!
