The Truth about Love

by SoScreamsAWhisper

The Dark Nebula has managed to kidnap Hikaru and Madoka in order to unbalance Ginga. Now in his darkest moment, Ginga has to figure out how to get them back. But Ryuga has a plan that's about ready to be set in motion. Has this Dragon Emperor figured out Ginga's darkest secret? Can Ginga keep it hidden? I don't own the cover image. It got cropped by the site; I did nothing to it.

13. Crabs!

Here's the next chapter.

Hikaru's pov:

It was eleven o'clock at night, but I was still awake. The doctor had come a few hours earlier, but had informed me that I would have to spend the night in my "room." Oh, how it was cozy. And that's sarcasm, you know.

And that's not the worst part, Tsubasa was the assigned guard. And Gosh, he was a good one at that! Nothing got passed him! He was even still awake.

"Hey, could you stop stare at me? It's really starting to creep me out," I informed him.

He rolled his eyes. "Yeah, and watching you was exactly what I wanted to be doing right now," he replied sarcastically.

"Oh, come on. It's not like you have anything better to do. You've got no life."

He looked really angry. "I have a life!" he defended.

I shook my head. "I'm not buying it," I told him.

All I received was another eye roll. "It's not for you to buy. It's the truth."

"The truth's a lie, then."

"The truth is not lying." he shook his head, thinking. "And that's not even logically possible."

"Sure it is. All things are. You just got to know where to look."

Madoka's pov:

Tetsuya led me up a long path of staircases. "How far is his office?" I asked after the sixth set.

"All the way at the top, Girl-crab," he answered.

I winced. "How many sets of stair are there?"

I sighed when I realized what he would say. "Two-hundred-fifty-three."

I almost screamed right then and there.

Tetsuya opened the door for me. Such a gentleman.

"You'd better get in there, Girl-crab. Crab-master can have quite a bad temper," he warned.

"That's enough, Tetsuya," I heard Pluto say. "Get in here, Madoka." He turned back to Tetsuya, "And you, stop trying to cause trouble. I've had enough of it from her," he gestured to me, "and her little friend."

I was angry. "Hikaru's not my 'little friend'," I snapped at him.

All I received was a eye roll. "Close the door behind you on your way out, Tetsuya," he told the crazy-obessive-crab lunatic.

I sighed, blowing the hair away from my eyes. "Great. This is exactly what I need right now."
