Hey everyone! Sorry I couldn't update yesterday because I went to Dallas with my parents but now here is the next chapter!
Ch. 14
Nexa's p.o.v.
All I could see was darkness as my body floated just like before. I could feel some pain in my body after being electrocuted by Naman's dark light but somehow, the pain is starting to go away. Am I actually dead or still alive? I remember seeing darkness as I went limp when he held me by the neck but now I don't feel his grip on me anymore.
Instead, I feel someone's arms holding me gently while stroking my hair. Who is this person who's holding me? It can't be the boys since they're at another planet and it doesn't feel like the girls since I can't sense their aura near me. If it isn't either of them, then who?
A strange glow soon engulfed me and I was now out of the darkness when I opened my eyes. My vision was slightly blurry and my breathing is a bit normal but I could still feel myself healing slowly since my light helps me heal after I get injured from a fight. I could make out a person stroking my hair and as my vision cleared up, my eyes slightly widened.
It was Naman, he was the one who held me. I could see some tears running down his face but why was he crying? When he saw my eyes opened, he suddenly hugged me while whispering sorry to me over and over again. He was sorry? Sorry for what? For hurting me or trying to kill me? And why does he suddenly care?
When he stopped hugging me and looked at me, I slowly brought my hand out and wiped his tears. I could see pain in his eyes and a look of guilt and regret. He really is sorry for hurting me but why does he care about me though? The both of us are enemies and he hated me to the core.
"I thought you despised me?" I whispered.
"I thought I did but I have no clue why I hated you" he answered while touching my hand with his.
I slowly stood up with him helping me and I looked at my body to see some scratches and bruises fading away. I really am getting healed by my light. I looked at Naman who looked a bit surprised at how I was healing but quickly regained back to his stoic expression.
"Why did we hate each other though? All I know is that it started when we first met at the forest on Planet MeadowField and you suddenly wanted to destroy me. Why destroy me though and what plans is your creator doing?" I asked him.
He looked to be deep in thought but said, "I'm afraid I can't tell you since its classified but I do know that he said that you and the boys were interfering his plans and I have no clue how though"
"Is it because of the gems or is it something else?" I asked.
"Who knows. It could be both or neither of them" he shrugged.
I sighed and slowly stood up while regaining my balance and he stood up as well. I checked my communicator and realized that it was nearly evening time. I was out for that long?
"You were out for quite a while but now you're doing just fine" he said.
"Yeah but why were you crying though? And why did you held me?" I tilted my head in confusion.
He looked away with an embarrassed look on his face but cleared his throat and said, "Had to make sure you weren't dead or anything and I just had something in my eye thats all"
"I know you're lying but I won't ask since its obvious you don't want to talk about it" I replied and I hear him sigh in relief. "But I still won't forget those emotions you felt by looking at your eyes"
He slightly stiffened but slightly nodded at my answer. I checked the sky and realized that it was getting dark and I had to get back to the lab before the others get worried.
"Its starting to get late, I should head back now before the girls look for me" I said.
"See ya later Nexa" he said before disappearing from the dark light.
Did he just say my name and not a nickname? Maybe he is starting to change but not that much. I teleported out of the forest and at the park where the sun is now starting to set. I began jogging out of the park and toward the lab since I didn't feel like teleporting there or I could drain myself from using too much energy.
When I got there and went inside, the RRBZ were on the couch discussing with one another while the Professor, Ken, and Peach were making something but it ended up exploding. Guess that happens to them all the time.
"Instead of using sugar for the experiment, try starch" I told them.
They slightly jumped after seeing me but did what I said and it didn't blew up. They mouthed a thank you to me and I gave them a thumbs up.
"Hey Nexa, can I ask you something?"
I turned my head and found Boomer pointing his fingers and he looked to be a bit shy. I wonder what he wanted to ask me about?
"Sure, what is it?" I said.
"Do you know whats the most prettiest flower in the whole wide world?" he asked.
"The prettiest flower?" I asked.
He nodded and I began to think. If I remember correctly, I heard from someone on what the prettiest flower was in the whole wide world.
"The prettiest flower is the one used as a girl's hair accessory" I answered.
"Okay thank you!" he said cheerfully.
He ran upstairs and a question appeared above my head. I wonder why he asked me that? Maybe he's going to make something for Miyako since he likes her. I guess time will tell pretty soon.
"Yo protective chick, mind if we ask you something?" I heard Butch say.
"Go ahead" I answered.
"Do you really hate boys?" Brick asked.
"Only if they're mean to my friends, families, and most precious people. I don't really hate them, I just dislike those who are sexist, perverted, shallow, and arrogant toward other people" I answered.
"What about us? Do you dislike us?" Butch asked.
"Not that much but I still need to see if I could trust you guys or not, depends on how you treat my friends" I answered.
"Got it" Brick said. "Do you also dislike bad boys?"
"It depends on how they behave or treat women. Why ask me these questions?" I said.
"We just wanted to know if you were a feminist or not" Butch answered but then covered his mouth with his after saying that.
"No I'm not a feminist" I sweat-dropped. "And never ask me those type of questions or I'll tell the girls your most embarrassing secrets"
"You wouldn't dare…" Brick hesitated.
"Try me" I crossed my arms.
They sighed and uttered a fine and I smirked in triumph. This is why you should never mess with me. I went upstairs to the guest bedroom, went inside, and laid down on the bed wondering whats gonna happen the next day.
Boomer's p.o.v.
I finished making the gift I made for Miyako and looked at it in admiration. It was a flower crown filled with sunflowers, hydrangeas, and forget-me-nots. Since the most prettiest flower is the one used as a girl's hair accessory, I thought of making something with flowers that reminded me of Miyako.
The sunflowers represent her happiness, the hydrangeas represent her delicacy and gratitude, and the forget-me-nots represent her fondest memories of her and her best friends. However, I didn't know that they also meant true love.
I examined the flower crown to make sure it was perfect and then after checking it, I transformed and flew out the window toward her house. As I floated near her window with the flower crown hidden behind my back., I gently knocked on it hoping that she would answer it. My wishes were granted as she opened the window and it looked like she was going to go to bed.
"Hello Boomer-kun, what are you doing here?" she asked me.
"Sorry to disturb you Miyako-chan but I wanted to give you something" I said.
"Really, what is it?" she tilted her head cutely.
"Its this" I brought the flower crown out and put it on her head. "Now the flowers look really beautiful"
She was blushing deeply while her eyes sparkled at the beautiful flowers she saw on the crown. She loved sunflowers including the hydrangeas and forget-me-nots. Boomer was praising her beauty in a way she never imagined and she remembered what they all mean but her face become redder after remembering that forget-me-nots meant true love.
"Arigato Boomer-kun for the flower crown" she bowed down.
"You're welcome Miyako-chan" I smiled. "By the way, you wouldn't mind if we go out sometime?"
I was blushing pink while looking down at the ground hoping she would say yes and then I felt her kiss my cheek and smiled sweetly at me.
"Of course Boomer-kun" she answered.
"Really? Arigato!" I bowed down.
"I better go sleep now Boomer-kun, see you tomorrow" she kissed my cheek again and closed the window and drew the drapes in to cover them.
I flew back toward the lab with a happy look on my face. I'm finally going out with Miyako-chan. Yay! This is the best day of my life!
