Finally! Another chapter! Sorry, I was sidetracked. Oh, and this chapter is in first-person. I'm too used to it know because of my other story. *sweat-drops* If that continues, I might just change this whole story into first-person.
Hikaru: "Stupid Ed and his stupid feelings."
Me: "Very supportive..." 'Not'
Hikaru: "Revenge will be sweet."
Me: Sweat-drops. "I don't know whether or not to help Ed or watch and be amused."
Billy: "I'm lost...what is she rambling on about?"
Me: "My guess is that she's making a plan to get back at someone."
Billy: "This'll be interesting."
Me: "She won't be doing any of that in this chapter."
Hikaru's POV-
After me and Billy finished. We both put the books in order and read the words.
"Grow your wings princess." I read.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Billy asked.
"I have no idea..." I said.
Then a kunai came out from no where and almost hit me. It swished past me and hit the wall. My eyes were wide with surprise.
"Are you okay?" Greg asked panicked.
"Y-Yeah." I said, turning around to the black kunai that had a note tied to it. I went to it, reaching out to grab it.
"You're going to grab the thing that tried to kill you?" he asked not sure of that choice.
"Yes." I said pulling it out of the wall. I went to the table and sat down. I took the note off the kunai and read it out loud. "Soar above the heavens."
"Great, just what we need...more riddles and words." he sighed.
"Hm...this one sounds familiar, but in a different way." I said thinking.
"How?" he asked.
"Well, you know that tale about that man who made wings out of wax?" I asked.
"Yeah. What about it?" he asked.
"Well, it's a hunch, but you know how he flew too close to the sun and fell down to earth because the wax melted?" I said.
"Yup." he said.
"What if the sun was an obstacle of some sort or heaven?" I said.
"What?" Billy asked, lost.
"Well, if the sun represents an obstacle, then the wax wings could be a means of escaping from them, or a way of saying someone from a disaster." I said. "The man falling to earth could mean that he could never escape or that he was bound to Earth, having to face the crime at hand, his sin."
"I see." he said writing all of that down.
"But, if the sun represented heaven, then it could mean someone who died but doesn't have the wings to fly up into heaven like others and ends up bound to Earth forever. But it could also mean someone dead but also alive." I said.
"How so?" Billy asked raising a brow.
"Well, I mean...is it possible to have something both dead and alive at the same time?" I asked.
"Yeah, they call that a homunculus. An artificial human." he said.
"Man made..." I mumbled.
"You've never heard of it?" he asked in disbelief.
"No, well I have, but I never knew what it was. I asked my dad and he avoided the subject, so I guess I forgot about it over time." I said.
"Well they aren't real." he said.
"How do you know? This world works in many mysterious way." I pointed out.
"I'll believe it when I see it." he said.
"Okay." I said. "That'll be the time I'll say 'I told you so'."
"A day to look forward to." he said grinning.
"Yup." I said.
"Maybe we can find something in the study about this." he said.
"Yeah...but I don't feel like going home yet." I said. "Oh, and Timmy wants to see us dance again."
"Really?" Billy asked.
"Yup, he said we're a great pair. But that's only because we've been dance partners for a long time. We're used to it." I said.
"True." he said.
"Let's just go to the playground and freak kids out by ridding on those animals with the big spring on them." I said.
He sighed and got up. I put everything in my bag and we both then went to the playground at the park.
On the way there, Billy said to me, "You know, you are very smart for your age."
I turned to him and said, "Have to be. Only way to survive in this world. Can't be kept in the dark for long. I envy those who could though. Those who are oblivious to what goes on around them…"
When we got to the playground, I went on a brown horse while Billy went on a dolphin next to me.
I nearly laughed at how ridiculous Billy looked, as he struggled to get comfortable on it and not fall off.
Sadly there were no kids to freak out because they were all at school at this time.
Stupid School...
Sorry for the delay. Review. =)
