Chapter 12-Pillow or animal?



Sakura's jaw dropped. "He didn't attack or anything?" Crystal smiled. "No, he doesn't plan on doing that yet. He's going to surprise me with his first attack."

Crystal's eyes sparkled. "Life is so good. It's so much fun to know my earthsuit can be harmed. Eli could hit me with his worst attack, and I know exactly where I'd go...Although Alex won't let that happen."

Sakura smiled. She didn't exactly understand the whole death thing, but she could explain that later. "Yes, they enjoy protecting us so much, I wonder what they'd do if they didn't get to."

Crystal cocked her head. "What do you mean?" Sakura sighed. "If we weren't here, who would they protect? Someone else? Is that what all they're good for? Protecting?"

Crystal was giggling. Sakura was confused. "What? What's so funny?" When she subsided, holding her side, she gasped, "Alexander means protector of men. And you're asking if that's all he's good for!"

Sakura picked up a pillow, and threw it at her new friend. Crystal squealed, and laughed as she threw another at Sakura. The pillow fight had begun.

A few minutes later, she picked up a small stuffed animal, and aimed for Sakura's head. But when she heard it speak, she withheld the urge to throw it.

"Is that any way to treat your guardian beast?"
