Chapter 2 - Beaten
Wufei kept his eyes forward. To any normal passer-by, he could have been just taking an ordinary walk in the garden. But there was something secretive about how the shadows cloaked him even in the brightest hour of the day and the corner of his mouth twitched upwards in a smirk.
If one looked carefully, they might see a slight flitter in the air between the trees, but then again, they might not. Or they might just dismiss it with a trick of the light or paranoia. It was there, nonetheless.
Yet the boy seemed not to notice, his pace never changing, ever steady. But he was indeed very aware that someone was following him and its gaze bore into the back of his neck. However, he kept walking as if nothing unusual was happening, selecting a nice shady tree to lean on where he closed his eyes and was still.
A girl frowned from behind her own tree and whisked back into the safety of the wide trunk and shrubs.
She glanced quickly around her and took a deep breath.
I need to ask him. I need to know.
She stepped out with that thought in mind, her chin up and her head held high, only to realise he had vanished into thin air. She blinked in surprise.
After registering the fact that he had left, she moved forward hesitantly to where he had stood and sank against its smooth bark.
It's nice here. Pretty and everything she thought, taking in her surroundings, and closed her eyes as a soft breeze blew past. But it did not last long and she sighed as the sun started to sink lower into the sky and the morning slipped into afternoon.
As she opened her eyes, she came face to face with Wufei and nearly screamed. He looked at her through obsidian eyes and as she fought to find her breath, they drew her in and she felt like she was drowning in pools of blackness.
She caught herself and shook her head to erase the sensation but it refused to let go. She drew herself to full height and opened her mouth to speak.
"Why were you following me?" he interrupted in fluent Chinese. Meiran blinked. She had never been asked such a blunt question. "Excuse me?" she answered in the same language. "Are you deaf, woman? I was asking why you were following me."
A small hiss escaped her lips as her breath was let out too quickly. For no reason at all, she felt a sharp jab each time he spoke a word and she was struggling to stand, the pain was so crippling. Still...
"Well, is it my problem you happen to be walking where I'm walking? It's not like you own the place or anything, and did I mention that you have an ego the size of Antarctica?"
He just looked at her and smirked.
Meiran growled. That it so it, Chang Wufei
"Go jump off a building," she snapped.
"What a wonderful twisted sense of humour you have, Meiran."
Meiran... Is that my name? It sounded so... right when he said it
Wufei looked at the girl in front of him. Her eyes had glazed over. Frowning, he quickly swiped his hand in front of her face and was rewarded when she blinked.
"Sorry," she apologised hastily but then, as if just realising who she was talking to, she glared daggers at him.
"Where were we?" she asked pointedly. Wufei snickered.
"I believe you were telling me to jump off a building."
"Then you should go and take your own advice. There is a hospital located conveniently just around the corner. Good day sir and it was nice doing business with you."
Wufei blinked.
He had just been beaten at his own game.
