Where the Sky Meets the Sea
Chapter Ten
By: MysticMoon
The early morning sun rosed and it emitted the light and warmth for all. Nori didn't
want to get up. Getting up would mean going back to work. Going back to work mean seeing
him....*Damnit....why did Kotaro have to choose the Fire and Water legend?? I don't want
to go back to headquarters. I don't want to see him....but I would get in trouble if I don't
go...* Nori pulled her unwilling body off the bed and headed for her closet. She rumaged
through her closet till she found what her conscience wanted. It was a long robe with the
color of flames. The bright hues of orange, yellow, and red were on it. *Wait a minute, why
did I pick this.....* But like humans, even Gods feel. They can be proud, angry, jealous,
kind, love, just like everyone of us. After all, Gods were humans once. *This robe matches
Hitoshi's hair....hehehe....just like fire* What was this feeling that Nori was experiencing
this morning? It was the blossom of love.
Hitoshi was also having trouble getting out of bed. Last night he couldn't sleep
because everytime he closed his eyes, all he can see was her. *Her deep blue eyes, her icy
blue hair, the gentle smile she always wore. But...she and I....we are rivals. Aren't we?* He
paced around his room until he realized he was going to be late. *O..shit! I'm late!* He
grabbed the nearest thing in his dresser and began to dress.
Nori waited in the room. He was late. She worried that Hitoshi is mad at her or that
he hated her now because of yesterday's events. She sat down on the stool and poured
herself a cup of tea. She put her hands around the cup and felt its warmth. She stared down
and sees her reflection. Her blue eyes looked back at her. She continued to stare till she
heard some running noises in the hall. She got up and saw Hitoshi pop in. He was huffing
and puffing, almost out of breath. She was about to bow to him and say good-morning when
she saw his clothes. He was wearing a blue robe with pictures of waves on it. She drew in
her breath, and stared in disbelief.
Hitoshi ran in as fast as he could. He didn't want to get her angry. He was about to
apologized to her but stopped when he saw what she was wearing. Her robe was the color
of flames. The clothes made an illusion like she was incased in fire. Hitoshi stared in awe.
Nori finally was able to gather herself and greeted him.
"Good morning"
"I'm sorry that I'm late this morning. I overslepted. Won't happen again...." Hitoshi
looked to her, hoping to see some kind of forgiveness.
"It's okay" Nori walked back to the table and turned her back to him. The redness of
her cheek's were increasing.
Hitoshi thought she was mad because she refused to look at him. He walked over to
her, bend over, and looked her straight in the face. "Are you sure you're okay?"
When Hitoshi's face appeared in front of her, only inches away, Nori's face turned to a
brillant red hue. "I...I'm sure"
"Good...we can get back to work. By the way...I like your robe" Hitoshi said in a flirty
tone. Nori's face now turned to a shade of red like a tomato. *NANI?!?!*
When Dilandau woke up that morning, the first thing he saw was Mariko. He watch her
sleep, her chest moving up and down. He didn't want to leave this angel but he had to be
back in his tent before the others found him gone. He was about to leave when he heard
some mumbling behind him. He looked at Mariko whose lips were moving silently. A gentle
tune was heard and her humming continue. *That tune, the song....where have I heard it
before?* A distant memory was upon Dilandau at this moment. *Why can't I remember
what it means?*
Mariko woked up and was somewhat disappointed to see Dilandau gone. After
breakfast, they went towards Fanelia again. She remembers the letter she got from her
cousin, Van Fanel, about his hopes of Hitomi's return. The letter told her about how Van
plans to ask Hitomi to marry him. Mariko had met Hitomi once before on her visit to Fanelia.
Mariko had liked hanging out with Hitomi and Merle. She hoped this visit would be just as
pleasant as last time.
All this time, Mariko sat inside, fidgeting. She knew what was coming. She can't stop
it. All she could do now was wait for it to come. It was coming but she can't see where it
was coming from or when it was coming. *O....god? I'm so scared. I don't want to lose
them. They have been so nice these past few weeks. Please let it be a false alarm* But she
knew in her heart that a vision is no false alarm.
Dilandau was deep in thought as he rode along the carriage. Earlier, Mariko had ask
him to ride beside her. She was still afraid about her "dream" He shooked his head and
thought how silly of her to think such things. What did she need to worry about? After all,
she was with the Dragonslayers. He chuckled to himself.
Miguel looked straight forward, like the well-trained soldier he was. He paused a bit
before riding again. He thought he heard something. *Maybe it was just the wind* The
group rode in silence for a few minutes more until Miguel heard some snapping of twigs
behind him. He looked over his shoulder and thought he saw the color of white among the
greens of the trees and grass. "It's an ambush!!" he yelled when he realized who it was. It
was the Chanyan's soldiers and they were coming closer.
A/N- What is gonna happen to Nori and Hitoshi?? How will the results of the attack come
out?? Will anyone be killed? Injured?? Find out in Chapter Eleven! Read and Review!!
