Chapter 8
~*~Getting To Close~*~
Darkness; Pitch Black, Lonely, Quiet, Dark. My definition of complete solitude. Thats what I was feeling at the moment. Complete
relaxation. I wish it were like this forever, but I knew that this soothing feeling would come to an end soon. My conscience
would soon wake up and be once again corrupted by my mission. But for now, I took advantage of this moment. This might be the last
quiet moment I'll ever get. My eye lids were tightly closed. I tried to keep the feeling of emptyness in my mind. It felt good to
think of nothing. But one thing was bothering me. An odd pinching sensation poked me in my side and my right arm. It was like a
misquito bite I couldn't itch and it was driving me mad.
Being disturbed my this annoying pain, my eyes slowly opened. I forced myself to. It was about time I woke up anyways. I wasn't
going to get anywhere by sleeping on the job. A blurry image was upfront. It was very hard for me to focus. My head felt as if it
were spinning continuesly. I wanted it to stop. Soon my distortion came to a hault and I could finally see what the image was.
" Ouch!" I exclaimed as that pinching got my side once again. " Take it easy...just a few more dabs and you'll be good as new" said
the image. I batted my eyes a couple of times before comming to my senses. Remembering that I had a voice to speak, a nose to
smell and ears to hear. I sat up frantically feeling somewhat nervous,' Where am I? What am I doing here?' I looked around my
surroundings and realised that I was in an appartment but it wasn't mine.
I then felt warm hands lay upon my shoulders. Trying to get me to lay down once again,' Shhh. Your wounded. Just lie down and I'll
bandage you up. Then you can jump around all you want' I looked over and saw HIM once again,' Duo...but...' " Sh. Don't speak. Just
do as I say and lie your ass down before you hurt yourself any further" he said with a smile as he dipped more clear liquid onto a
cotton ball. I decided to do what I was told. I lied back down and exhaled heavily. I felt more relaxed than I had a few hours ago
or what I thought was a few hours ago. I wasn't sure and I really couldn't care. I placed a hand to my forhead and rubbed it. " What
time is it?" I asked weakly.
Duo continued dabbing off my bullet scrapes. He then replied gently,' It's almost 12:00. You've been out for quiet awile' I opened my
eyes widely and looked at him,' Your kidding...I've been out for that long-OUCH!!!!' " Take it easy I said" said the long
haired boy as he blew his breath over my wound to stop the small burning sensation. I then relaxed myself as I looked at him
thankfully. " Ah...I want to thank you for helping me" I said feeling extremely warm. My head still pounded slightly from the chase.
Duo looked at me and smiled as he tightened the cap on the bottle that held the stinging liquid,' Hey. No prob. I couldn't just leave
you there. It'd be wrong, plus I'd be filled with guilt. Er, now if only someone could take care of my wounds heh'
I sighed and looked at him examining his left shoulder. When I saw the wound, a look of shock flew upon my face. His wound. It looked
like mine. Like a scrape. I then growled as I backed up on the small couch I was lieing on. Duo looked over to me and noticed my
change in expression. His face showed a change of seriousness,' Whats the problem...' I grabbed the blanket that was laid upon me and
tried to cover my partial naked body,' It was you...tell me what you plan on doing with me...' Duo cocked an eyebrow,' Huh? What're
you talkin ab-' Before he could finish his sentence, I pounced on him and pinned him to the floor, each leg on the outside of his.
" You were the one that tried to kill me!" I yelled at him angrily. The long haired boy kept looking at me with his shocked expression.
As if trying to play innocent. I tried to hold him down, but he was no doubt stronger than me. "AH!" I yelled as he rolled over on me
and pinned me down instead. His face was about 3 inches from mine and we both growled at eachother angrily." I don't know what's
gotten into you, but I'm going to fix it! " he hissed in my face. I continued to growl as I tried desperately to break free of his
tightening hand cuff like hands gripping my wrists,' Don't play stupid with me Maxwell. You were there. Those wounds! You tried to
kill me! '
Duo looked at me once again curious to what the hell I was blabbering about,' Amina?! These scrapes I got from jogging! I'm not the
most well balanced guy in the world alright? I fall sometimes to!' My anger then slowly subsided. Had I been mistaken?" You mean...you
didn't try to kill me?" I asked curiously. Duo shook his head,' No I didn't try to kill you?! What in God's name gives you the idea
that I would try and kill you?!' I then looked away. If Duo hadn't tried to kill me, then who did? Or was he just lieing. I then felt
him move off from me and stand. I however I stayed lieing down on the floor keepting my head turned away, breathing a bit heavily.
* Who's after me? It doesn't make sense. If Mr. Attitude here is telling the truth, then who could it be?* I said hard in
thought. I then remembered my briefcase and gun. I sat up quickly with worry,' My briefcase! Where is it?!' " Don't get your
panties in a knot. Your briefcase is right here " he said as he held it in his hand. I looked at it with concern as it hung
there in the wrong hands. I stood up and attempted to take it, only to be teased. " What is it?" He asked with a smile. I
lowered my eyebrows and my attempted hand,' Its mine...so if you know whats good for you, you'll give it back 'The long haired boy
sighed and shrugged,' I have a feeling your not being entirely honest with who you really are...'I crossed my arms and ^Hmph'ed^ As I
did so, my eye was caught by my 9mm Browning that was slightly hiding under the couch. I then looked back at him. His face had a look
of waiting and questioning. I then answered,' What makes you think I'm not who I say I am?'
" Well for starters, you had a whole different act earlier today in school. Not the same when we first met. Then you suddenly claim
that I tried to kill you. That doesn't sound like an ordinary life if you ask me" he said waving my precious briefcase in his hand.
My eyes followed it wantingly. I then looked into his colbalt blue ones,' Well, no one asked you...so just give me the briefcase
and you'll never see me again' Duo smirked as he looked at me,' Well, I kinda hoped that wouldn't happen anytime soon. I have a
feeling your hiding something that doesn't want to be revealed ' I looked at my gun, then back at him,' Well. If you really want to
know, look for yourself ' He seemed shocked at me giving him an invitation. Slowly yet curiously he held it in his hands gently.
Looking at the latches. He then placed his full attention to the briefcase, hoping that it wasn't a bomb or anything.
As he was distracted, I quickly fell to the floor, extended my leg and tripped him. He fell to the floor with a thud and the
briefcase flew into thr air. I grabbed my gun, stood up, and grabbed my belonging aswell. I then held my gun in my left hand and
pointed it down at him. Before he noticed, he rubbed his head and winced before opeing his eyes. When they came in contact with a gun
he instantly changed his expression from a once curious one, to a serious one. He looked up at me standing there. Threatening him.
" Tell me who you really are..." he said demandingly. I smiled,' I'm sorry. But I can't do that' "I see..." he said as he closed his
eyes,' You plan to kill me?' A smirk then grew on my face. " No. And I have two reasons. One, I'm searching for someone else. Two, I
kinda like ya so I'm not going to kill you. But the next time you cross my path, we might not be able to stay good friends " I said
backing away.
I looked over to a small nightstand that he was using to hold the stuff to heal my wounds. Sitting on it was some tape to hold up
the gauze. I then looked back at him,' Stand up...' The boy kept his icy gaze upon me as if telling me through expression that what I
was doing was wrong. " Turn around..." I said to him as he finished standing. He did that aswell and stood there waiting for my
further orders. Seeing that he was going to co-operate, I placed down my briefcase and grabbed the tape. Slowly I walked up to his
back. " Don't move. Don't breath loud, don't speak..." I said pulling his hands behind his back. Slowly, I started to wrap the tape
around his wrists tightly. When I was in the middle of the role I felt somewhat concerned. I didn't want to hurt him. I just wanted
to make sure he didn't get away. " Is that to tight?" I asked. The boy shook his head. " Good..." I replied as I walked back,
throwing the empty role aside on the couch. I then grabbed my briefcase once again then placed the gun to his back,' Now. Walk to
your room...'
Soon enough he started doing just that. He walked straight ahead, then stopped infront of a closed door. Realising that he couldn't
open it, I had a feeling as if he was playing a game with me. " This better be your room Mr.Maxwell...or my gun'll assure that you
won't be having children in the future..." I said as I quickly turned the knob on the door. He then walked in aswell as I. The room
seemed small but thats not what I was worried about. I just needed to borrow some clothes. I walked over to a dresser and saw the
many drawers. I looked over to him and he continued to stand there serious and silent. " You can go and lean over on the wall if
you'd like" I said letting him know. I wanted him to know that it wasn't him I wanted to kill. After seeing him do just that, I
looked over to the dresser and opened one drawer up. Inside were a few clothes. Maybe a few tanks tops and shirts. In the second
drawer were pants, shorts...things like that. " You don't mind if I borrowed some clothes?" I said looking at him.
He was leaned up against the wall with his eyes closed,' Go ahead...' I felt somewhat guilty. I knew that he probabaly didn't want me
to take any clothes. But I needed something to cover me up. I took out a tank top and a pair of jogging pants. I placed the gun down
ontop of the dresser and began to change. As I took my sports bra off, my whole naked back was exposed too, what I thought was, the
closed eyed long haired boy. " Hey...don't you think you should change somewhere else. I am in this too room you know..." He said half
angrily. I turned my head as I had the tank top half way on, ' Hm...Its amusing to me to hear a guy complaining about a girl changing
in his presence. But just to let you know, I've been with the male species long enough to be emune to embarassment or modesty...'
" Why can't you just tell me who you are? Is it that hard?" he asked with his eyes closed. I had finished changing and grabbed my gun
once again. I then walked up to the confused teen boy. " Maybe I'll let you know someday..." I said. His eyes opened widely as I
stood there a few feet away from where he was leaning. I looked away feeling as if I would never be able to tell anyone about my
other life. Everytime I got close to someone, they'd always end up dieing. Duo looked at me as if giving me his pity but also begging
to know who I really was. I then looked up at him again,' Until that time...' I placed my right hand on his chest and neared my face
toward his. He seemed nervous about what I was about to do, but also seemed fine about it aswell. Gently I placed a soft firm kiss
upon his lips. They were soft. Not rough. The only reason why I did it was because I knew that the male species liked things like
that. To tell you the honest truth, this turned me on in no way possible.
I then took my lips off from his and smirked,' I'll need you to stay quiet...' a look of shock replaced his goofy spacey look. I then
hurriedly grabbed my briefcase once again and hightailed it out of there. " Amina wait!" Duo called as he tried to run after me. But
in the process, he fell to the floor once again.
