Chapter 11: If I Go Crazy...
Rei finally shoved Dalton off in a rare showcase of nerve. "Hey! Who died and made you king!?" Rei snapped. Dalton blinked. NEVER had he been spoken to like this. Never. ....He sort of liked it. Still, it was quite impudent. Dalton lashed out to grab her by the neck with one hand, and Rei dodged, suprising the General. She turned to walk away. "Your weird. I'm out of here. I learned what I needed to know." Rei said. Dalton blinked, realizing he had one shot to try to make her stay and be HIS. Dalton lashed out with one hand and yanked her around and into him roughly, and grabbed her by both shoulders. Rei opened her mouth to yell for help and he quickly covered it with his own. Dalton held Rei his arms and in his kiss until she kicked him in the shin, hard, forcing him to let go. Rei slapped him and jumped back. "Your... SICK!" Rei said, before running off. Dalton growled, rubbing his cheek. Oh, someday, he'd HAVE the power to find that girl.... And he'd make her his forever.
That was disgusting. somehow I expected my first kiss to be more pleasant. Rei though irritably as she walked to return to the group. Most women in Zeal would have loved for him to fall for them. Rune responded amusedly. Yeah, well, he's not my type. Rei thought indignantly. Calmly she strolled up to Crono, who'd rejoined Frog. "Hey. I didn't find anything. Can we go now?" Rei asked the two. Frog sweatdropped, but Crono nodded, indicating they should go and that he hadn't found anything either. The trio headed out of Kujar and to the Landport. Stepping on the marking, they were transported down. Frog and Crono finally both removed their hoods as they trekked toward the next skyport. "M'lady, where didst thou...?" Frog looked at Rei's dress in suprised. "I made it." Rei said cooly. Both men stared, blinking, but didn't ask how. Frog scooted a bit closer to Rei. She didn't notice. "Art thou feeling better?" Frog asked. Rei ignored him. Frog blinked then looked up. "M'lady?" Frog blinked again from the lack of response. Finally, he quietly slipped into silence and kept pace with his two companions. Reaching the Skyport to the Kujar area, Crono and Frog pulled their hoods up, and, after the three trekked through, they finally reached the Gate. Stepping in, they returned to the End of Time.
The moment of arrival, there was a tiny, nervous ribbit from Rei's pocket. "...." Everyone looked at the pocket in stunned silence until Rei reached in and pulled out Kaeru. Kaeru hopped to her head and eyed his surroundings nerviously. Rei plopped down, and Frog warily approached. When Rei didn't smack him, he got face to face with Kaeru. The tiny frog sniffed at him warily before hopping on his head and ribbiting happily. "Kaeru..." Rei said softly. Frog blinked and wondered if her feelings were hurt. However, she seemed to do nothing else. Frog finally sat next to her mutely. "....What is it?" Rei asked, still staring forward. "....M'lady, doth my presence bother thee?" Frog asked, quietly. Rei looked at him. "What?" She blinked. "Doth my presence bother thee? Thou hast been silent since Zeal." Frog said. He seemed upset. Rei suddenly felt somewhat guilty. "I don't mind you being around. Your a great guy.. I was just mad, that's all." Rei said quietly. Frog kept looking forward. "Why, m'lady?" He asked. Rei blinked. "I guess I don't like people fighting on my account." Rei said quietly. Frog nodded. "I see, m'lady." Frog said slowly. Rei smiled out of the blue. "Don't worry 'bout it, OK?" She said.
Crono finished filling Gaspar in (somehow) and turned to get Frog to go on the next part of the mission to see him next to Rei. Crono started to walk over when Gaspar touched his shoulder. "Hold on, boy. Let those two have some private time." Gaspar said calmly. Crono sighed.
A few hours time found the trio in 1000AD. Crono, Frog, and Rei stood before the door to Lucca's house. Crono was knocking. Lucca answered the door. "Hi! ...Uhm... What's going on?" The scientist asked, scratching her head. Crono indicated he'd explain when he got in. Five minutes time found them in the living room, with Crono haven explained the tale. "Hmm.. Strange. Oh, that crazy sorceress is back in True. She nearly smashed town square up summoning a golem... It was strange, but it seemed pretty calm about something. And she's got some.. Kid with her." Lucca said. Crono groaned and faceplanted while Frog tilted his head to one side. "Sorceress, Lady Lucca?" Frog asked. "Yeah. There's a sorceress from Choras that lives just outside of True. Usually her spells blow upon her, and she was even reverted to a cat- human hybrid of a creature by one... She's got some mastered, though. Her name's Serra." Lucca explained. Frog merely looked thoughtful. Hadn't Dalton been able to summon golems...? "So, what's her name?" Lucca asked, indicating Rei. "My name's Reiketsu..." Rei said quietly. Lucca stuck her hand out to offer a handshake. "Lucca! Scientist extrodinaire!" Lucca said proudly. Rei stared at her hand a minute before shaking it. "Hi." Rei finally said meekly.
