Chapter 10
I like Sherry better
"So----- who are you?" asked Hakuba, trying to sound like he doesn't care whether Ai will answer or not, since he had asked the same question 5 times over already.
They were still walking in the forest in search for Koudo and Haiji, before Gin and Vodka finds them and kills them.
It was really dark at night, the only light source was their torch and the pale moon light. The shadows of the trees created eerie and scary images, the sound of leaves rustling as they step on it was so loud at night, it could easily remind people of the film Blair Witch Project. But it was not the thing that bothered Hakuba at the moment.
"This is the last time I will ask this question---- If you answer me!" snapped Hakuba.
"Its best if you don't know." Answered Ai, still walking fast and not looking at Hakuba's face.
"Well, lady, it will be a lot easier if you give my something I can use to call you, other wise, I will call you the freak girl with a gun." Said Hakuba, he is a *bit* annoyed by the fact that this girl show no interest in him, not even the slightest. He is not used to that, being ignored by a pretty girl such as Ai.
Ai frowned and then say "You can all me Ai." She walked even faster, seems to be annoyed.
Then, she felt a spider web on her face, slowly, she pulled it off and let it go ,it flew straight into Hakuba's face who was walking behind her.
"Miss Ai! Its a pleasure to meet you, my name is Hakuba" said Hakuba, totally annoyed by the fact that the bit of the web went into his mouth before he can pull it off.
"Oh"
"What do you mean "oh" ??? Do you know who I am?" Hakuba couldn`t believe his ears, usually, girls will blushed and go all shy when they found out he is one of the best detective in Japan and England, and of course, he is good looking.
"You are a very annoying BOY who thinks he is playing a hero, going off to save his friends, when actually, he is going to get himself killed." Answered Ai, (still not looking at Hakuba)
"You have a very bad attitude, Miss Ai."
"Thank you, you too" smiled Ai, not angry at all.
Hakuba sighed, then muttered to himself "I give up"
Then before he blink his eyes, Ai suddenly disappeared in front of him.
"????!!!?----- Ai?" Said Hakuba, wondering whether he was actually dreaming, then he can felt the ground disappeared under his feet and he was falling.
"AH!" Before he can scream for more than 5 seconds, his stomach hit something hard, bounced up and down before he grabbed the object with both his hands. His heart literally stopped for few seconds. He could felt himself dangling in the air with his stomach being supported by a tree. He took a deep breathe and tried to balanced him self, then he heard-----
"HAKUBA!" A voice shouted from beneath him, its so dark that he could hardly see anything, but he could tell the voice was not very far away.
"Ai? Are you all right?"
"No, I think I felt into an underground cave!" shouted Ai "Or a very deep hole on the ground-----", it was really dark in the cave and it was at night.
Ai stood still and try not to move or touch anything incase there is another drop next to her.
"Really? Guess what, SAME HERE!" replied Hakuba, feeling the pain in his stomach was getting worse.
"Are you ok?" said Ai, then quickly correct it with the mutter "Not that I care."
" I think I broke my ribs, are you at the bottom of the cave?" Hakuba replied, wondering why Ai didnt scream when she felt down the cave. Is she always this calm?
"Yeah, its not very deep. Can you jump down?"
"What?!"
"Its not deep, you hit the tree didn't you? So did I, its only a small distance from that tree to the bottom of the cave, you can jump!"
"Did you jump?"
"No, I slipped"
"Son of a ------" for the first time ever, Hakuba swear in front of a lady. Taking a deep breathe, he let go of his hand. He hit the bottom of the cave with a loud and dramatic crashing sound, then he moaned with pain.
"Gosh--- you OK?" said Ai, and this time, she really means it. It is really strange, in the dark, human can not see very well, but they can still sense movement around them with the sounds and the vibration on the ground, and it was quite easy to tell where Hakuba landed since he could make so much noises.
Ai kneeled next to Hakuba and can sense that he was in pain.
"Does it sounds like I am bloody OK?" Shouted Hakuba, getting his English vocabulary out easily.
"Dont move--- tell me where it hurts" Said Ai, trying not to touch Hakuba in the dark, she don't want to touch the wrong part or anything------
" Every where! where is your torch?" Hakuba was obviously in a very bad mood.
"Its broken, when I fell down the cave. Where is yours?"
"Dunno"
"Well---- at least----" Said Ai in the dark, standing up and feeling the rock and mud and a bit of wetness around them
"AT LEAST WHAT!" Snapped Hakuba, thinking this is the worst day in his life, and he is only 17 !
"Gin and Vodka wont find us in here. If you stop SHOUTING!" Ai bend down and start to look for Hakba's torch.
Then there was 10 minutes silence between them, and the occasional complain from Ai when her head hit the rock or tripped over place because of the uneven and slippery ground. Finally, Hakuba spoke.
"Tell me"
"What?" Sighed Ai, give up the hope of ever finding the torch in the dark, she sat down next to Hakuba.
"What the heck is Koudo and Heiji doing? who are you? And why the hell you keep on talking about alcohol?"
Ai smiled, then in the dark, she laughed.
" I told you not to come with me!" she said, then she felt Hakiba's hand touched her hand, or, its her hand that touches Hakuba's hand.
Quickly, both of them pulled their hand away and there was another awkward silence.
" I will tell you the things you should know, but only if you promised not to tell anyone, and when this is over, you wont get involved again." Said Ai, closed her eyes and feeling really really tired.
" I promise" said Hakuba, his eyes was also closed, the pain was getting worse in his chest. He was breathing heavily and his hands were sweating.
Then, Ai started to talk about the black organization, about her sister, how she met Koudo, Dr Agasa, what happened between Ran, Koudo and Heiji and what happened today. Then she realised she told him everything.
"So--- you think that potion will save Heiji?" finally, asked Hakuba, feeling dizzy and amazed. He could smell the moss around the wall of the cave, it doesn't smell bad at all, kinda--- refreshing.
" I don't know, it have the power of making the cell reproduce faster than usual, I hope that will at least stop the bleeding for Heiji and closed the wound."
"Gee---- I really didn't expect all this" Said Hakuba.
"No----, it is all very secretive" sighed Ai, she suddenly feel really sad and lonely.
She opened her eyes, In the dark, she could see her sister looking at her and for some reason, she looks really sad. There was a look if disapproval on her mature and pale face.
Ai gasped and felt her body tighten. "Are you angry? Sister?" Ai asked quietly with a shaking voice. Then she blinked, her sister was gone. Was it all in her head? and her vivid imagination makes it looked so real?
Hakuba didnt say anything. He heard what Ai said, but he remained quiet.
There is something about this girl that makes her so different. He thought. Is she a peculiar girl or what? Or maybe weird is the word to describe her.
Another silence moment, then suddenly, Hakuba's voice appear in the dark.
"I like Sherry better"
"What?"
"Its a nice wine, also a nice name-----"
"-----------you like it better than Ai and Shiho?" asked Ai, suddenly finding herself thinking Hakuba is not a annoying boy after all.
"Its a nice wine--------------------" Hakuba's voice trailed off and there was no more reply.
"Hakuba?" Ai suddenly got really nervous and she pushed Hakuba's arm, but she got no reply and in the dark, she can't see his face either.
"Still a annoying boy-----" She muttered. Then carefully, she lean her face to Hakuba's face, and heard him breathing slowly. He was asleep.
"At least you are not dead----" thought Ai, then, she changed her position to make herself more comfortable. Its not an uncomfortable place with all the soft moss covered the ground like nice cushions.
Especially when she is so tired from all the "excitements", this is not a bad place to sleep in.
With in a moment, she was breathing slowly like Hakuba and falls asleep in the dark, quiet cave that is somehow safer than the world outside.
