Chapter 6
They had said an awkward goodnight, promising to talk in the morning after each had had time to think. As Bunny walked down ready for school, she became nervous. How would Marcus treat her now? How would she act now that she knew Marcus had been Fane? What was going on between Marcus and her anyways? She looked up as she saw Marcus waiting for her near the door.
He looked up at her, dark bags under his eyes. Obviously he had not been able to go back to sleep after their meeting either. Oh joy, Bunny thought sarcastically. Today should be fun at school. Not a word of greeting spoken between them, they walked out the front door and started to walk to school.
"This is weird," Marcus said after a few minutes of silence. Bunny didn't answer him. "You lied to me when you first came here, didn't you?"
"Yes," she said softly. "I had to though. You would have sent me back otherwise."
He glanced over at her as they continued to walk. "Why did you leave?"
"There was a guy. I had thought I was in love with him, and I thought he felt the same way. But he didn't. He broke up with me and wanted nothing else to do with me. I fell apart. I couldn't do anything right. I felt like I was becoming a burden to everyone around me, so I left. They are all better off without me."
He was shocked. "How can you think anyone would be better off without you?" he asked as he stopped walking for a moment to stare at her.
Sighing, she looked at him. "You may know me from my past life Marcus, but you don't know what I was in this life before I met you. I had a job, a responsibility. And when my world crumbled I couldn't do it anymore. And people were getting hurt because of it. Should I have stayed and let more be hurt?"
"I guess not," He started to walk again. "I have a question for you."
"Shoot."
"What happened with our appearances last night?"
"I've been thinking about that one. Maybe when we kissed the power flowing between us was enough to make us appear as we had known each other in our past lives." He nodded at her, seeming to accept this answer. "It may only happen when something physical is sparked between us, considering the affects faded from it after a few minutes." They lapsed into silence once more and Marcus spoke up suddenly. "Do you really think leaving was the right thing for you to do?"
"Of course," She said without hesitation. "It brought me to you."
The second after she spoke slowed down to an eternity. He reached over and grabbed her, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her close. The other free hand came up to lightly touch her brown hair and trace a finger down her cheek. "You look prettier with blonde hair," He commented softly.
She chuckled at him, her green eyes dancing with mirth. "And you look better with silver." Her light mood dissipated though as she realized what he had in mind. He leaned towards her and a whirlwind of emotions sped through her. "I want to," She said softly as his lips hovered near hers, seeking permission. "but if the reaction happens again... I don't think it is safe for us to do this in public."
He sighed and pulled away, releasing her. Time seemed to catch back up to speed as they continued on their way to school. "I remember people from the past. Are they just in the past or have they been reincarnated too?" He questioned.
"Yes, they have been. The girls of the royal court in the past were my friends in this life."
"Then that makes..." Marcus muttered as he thought it through. "Endymion in this life Mamoru?"
Her silence on the subject gave him his answer.
