me what you think of it.***
Chapter 3
I didn't sleep very well. Actually I didn't sleep at all. I just couldn't. My thoughts were constantly wandering, so I decided to get up. I wasn't gonna get much from lying down anyway.
I walked through the living room, stopping briefly to look at the stranger on the couch, then walked into the kitchen. The clock on my oven read 12:23. Well at least tomorrow was Saturday so there was no school or work to go to.
Then I decided to grab something from the fridge. Opening it wide, the light spilled on the floor and glowed around me. I looked around in the fridge and got a craving for some chocolate.
"Mmm chocolate," I mumbled very low.
I grabbed a chocolate bar and walked back into the living room after I closed the fridge. I stared at him a little longer, wondering if I did the right thing.
Then he started to move.
I walked right up in front of the couch. He hadn't opened his eye yet but I knew he would soon.
"Umm hello."
He rolled over in the couch and was now facing me as opposed to the ceiling. He slowly dragged his eye open and I could tell he needed a couple moments to focus in this darkness. I plunked down right in front of him to be sure that I would be the first thing he saw.
"Hi, I'm Lenore and you are?"
"Ano, my head hurts. Where am I?" said the stranger bringing his hand up to his head.
"You're at my apartment. I found you unconscious in an ally and brought you here. Do you want a painkiller for your headache?"
"Painkiller?"
"Umm ya, it's a pill that kills the pain. Where are you from anyway?" I asked as I walked to the medicine cabinet to grab two Advil, dropping my chocolate into my PJ pocket to free both hands.
"I'm from the Konan Empire," he said casually as if I was supposed to know what he was talking about.
After I grabbed the pills, I went into the kitchen to get a glass of water for him. Then I walked back into the living room sitting down where I sat before.
I handed the glass of water and the Advil to him but he looked at me strangely.
"Take the glass of water. Now put the pills in your mouth, take a big sip of water and swallow everything that's in your mouth," I guided him. He obviously wasn't from around here.
He followed my directions perfectly.
"Ano, that felt weird when I swallowed, no da."
"Ya but you'll get used to it after a while and plus the pain will go away. Umm, so you say you're from Konan, right. Well where is Konan? Because right now you're in Canada, more specifically Quebec."
"I have never heard of such places. This house, or apart-a-ment, or whatever you call it, it doesn't look anything like the houses from where I come from."
"Really, well I'll figure out where you come from and how to get you back.. If you want to go back that is???"
"I would like to yes."
"*sigh* How did you get here anyway?"
"I don't know exactly. I was the first to see the book of Suzaku in my time. It was a story written about what my friends and I lived through. That's the last thing I remember."
"Wow that's umm weird. You don't often here about stuff like that in the new millennium. Evil books, damn them."
"Ano, what do you mean by the new millennium?"
"Well after the year two thousand we call it the new millennium."
"Year two thousand!!! How can that be? Is this not ancient China?"
"Whoo boy, we're in trouble. How about we figure everything out tomorrow morning when we can both think straight."
I couldn't believe what he was saying. Well I felt I could, because for some reason I trusted him, but what are the chances. Maybe he hit his head a little too hard.
"I agree, it would be better to talk things out in the morning."
"Good so by the way what's your name?"
"Oh I'm sorry, my name is Chichiri."
"Hmm, Chichiri. That's a nice name. Your really cute by the way."
"Ano."
If I thought I was blushing, then he was five shades darker. I really hope it takes a long time before things get sorted out. I wouldn't mind his company, even though he seems to have some sort of memory problem.
"We'll since we both can't seem to sleep lets watch some TV instead."
I found the remote control on the table in front of me and turned it on, as I plopped myself onto the lazy-boy, next to the couch.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! What is this magic box?!?" he yelled as he pointed at the screen.
"It's a television. It's not magic its technology. Just watch it, it tells stories," I said as I went through the channels trying to find something interesting to watch.
"Ano."
"I'll explain it more later just enjoy it for now."
"Alright."
I found a channel with one of those dating shows and decided to watch it for the pure entertainment of it.
"Well if I fall asleep Chichiri, goodnight."
"Goodnight Lenore."
How he could he speak my language if he was from ancient China, I don't know. But I still believed his words. Boy am I gullible or what!
