The Unknown Dragon Slayer 4
"N-nothing, Dilandau-sama," I said. I wanted to tell him, I did. But I didn't think Folkin-sama would do it again. It was really hard not tell Dilandau-sama everything under the gaze of his Magenta colored eyes.
"You sure?" He asked. I know he could tell something was wrong, because he kept looking at me. And he watched as I walked away.
"Dilandau-sama," I said, turning around.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Can you teach me how to pilot a Guymelef? I can fight with a sword, you've seen me. But, you've also seen that I can't pilot a guymelef for my life," I said.
"You did though, you're still alive now, but yea, I'll teach you," He said, and smiled.
"Thanks Dilandau-sama, when?" I asked.
"I'll talk to you during training all right?" He said.
"Yes sir," I said. I was pretty happy I would learn to pilot, but I know I should have told him about Folkin-sama. But I was pretty sure he wouldn't do it again. But the way he looked at me and said, "Do you think I really care?" Sent shivers up and down my spine. And it made me dought my thoughts. In fact, I was almost sure I should've told Dilandau-sama. That's where I get stubborn, and can't stand it.
But another thing that kinda bothered me was that after I was a Dragon Slayer they completely stopped asking questions about Van and Allens plans. Speaking of Allen and Van, Why hadn't they tried to come to help me? Did they know I could take care of myself? Or were they just too scared or laisy? Or maybe they just thought I wasn't Important enough to help. Since They weren't the lasy or scared type I figured it was option 2. They didn't care.
But, hey, I was cool with that. I was learning how to fight, Allen was teaching me, but now I was going to learn how to pilot a Guymelef. And I really dought Allen or Van would teach me that. Plus, I think I had more in common with Dilandau-sama then I did with them. But truly, I was upset they didn't think I was important. Okay, don't worry, I'm not going to get all emotional. I hate it, well, not hate, but I don't like it that much when books or stories Have all that stuff. Okay, back to the story.
I had decided to go check my room, I wanted to make sure Folkin-sama wasn't' there anymore. And good thing he wasn't. Then I'd be pretty scared. Right now I was just worried. But any ways.
Dilandau-sama and I did talk during training. Some of the Slayers tried to see what we were talking about. Just like teen age boys huh? No offense to any, if any, are reading this.
"So when can I start training?" I asked.
"The day is basically filled up, accept the resting time, and you need that time. The only time we really have would be when everyone's asleep. Could you do that?" He asked,
"Oh yea, when ever I'm going to learn something new I can never sleep. I'm always too excited. And that's what I'm like now, Dilandau-sama," I said.
"Good, now go train," He said. I nodded and walked back. Of course I still had no respect from them.
"Hey, Tora," One of them said. I looked around and say Dalet.
"What?" I asked.
"I want another go," He said. I smiled.
"Your funeral," I said. He smiled back, and the fight was on. Now that he knew what I was capable of he didn't things that were so easy to block. The fight lasted a little longer. And, I'll admit, I did get a cut on my hand. But I wasn't about to drop my sword. So, I have him a cut down his arm. You usually don't hit me and get away scot free. And of course, this was no acceptation. But, I won.
"OKay okay," He said, and I helped him up. "So your not that weak."
"If I am then your as strong a new born kitten," I said. He gripped my hand, and I gripped his back.
"Okay, your not weak," He said.
"Thank you, that ment so much to me," I said in sarcasm. He smiled, and we got along pretty well after that. Which, I'll admit, it helped me to get more comfortable. Helped me to adapt.
Anyway. That night After everyone was asleep I went to go and see if Dilandau-sama was waiting for me. To tell the truth we arrived at the same time. Cool eh? Anyway. He didn't actually put me in one and have me fly it around. First he told me what the different parts were and what they did. And that the weapons were a Crima claw. And some of them had a flame thrower.
I watched as he turned it on and got everything ready. then he had me do it. Actually, the only thing we really had to do was get in and sit down. That and put our arms and legs in the places that they were supposed to go.
"That's all for now," He said. I suppose I looked a little disappointed. "We have to rest. We can't be too tired for tomorrow," He explained.
"Thank you Dilandau-sama," I said, and hopped down. We walked back to our rooms and went to bed. And the course of the day went on the same. Accept for the resting period.
I went into my room and flopped down on the bed. I fell asleep for a while. And when I woke up it was because I felt something cold on my face. I looked to and saw Folkin.
"Folkin-sama!" I said, and jumped from the bed, putting it between us. He smiled devilishly. "What are you doing in here?" I asked, fear shook in my voice.
"I would think you already know," he said, and walked around the bed. Okay, the bed. The top of it was against the wall. My only choices were go across the bed, or run right into Folkin-sama. Guess which one I chose? The good one. I jumped and hurled my body across the bed. But when I landed I landed bad on my ankle. I got up anyway and tried running to the door. But because I had fallen, and now with a bad ankle, Folkin was able to catch me. See, now I was really really scared.
He caught me, and shoved me against the wall. Right now he was just scaring me. Well I'll tell you. I was really freaked out.
"Let me go!" I half pleaded half demanded.
"I'd rather not," He said.
"Folkin-sama," I said. "Plea-" I didn't have a chance to finnish. There was someone knocking on my door. My eyes lit up and I knew I had to get it. Folkin looked at me.
"Get it," He wispierd, and pushed me to the door.
"Hello?" I asked as I opened the door. Dilandau-sama. My eyes almost teared up, for once, I was happy to see him. "Dilandau-sama!" I said. "Can I help you?"
"Don't play games. Common, you're late for dinner," He said strictly. I thought I would never be more happy to have a meal. Anything to get out and away from the room I knew Folkin-sama was waiting for me in.
But Dilandau-sama didn't ask for an excuse. He just told me Not to be late again. Originally, I would be glad for that, but I had to tell him. I had to tell someone. Yea, he hadn't really done anything yet, thank god, but I didn't want him to be able to do anything. This was one of the only things that scared me. What Folkin wanted, seeing my friends die and... that's about it. some people think I'm crazy for not fearing death, but I don't. Don't ask me why, sure, I worry about it, but I'm not paranoid someone's gonna come and stab me in the back ya know?
Any way Dinner was over and after that everyone just has more resting time till lights out. lucky me.
"Dilandau-sama," I said, catching him before he went into his room.
"What is it Tora?" He asked.
"Um..." How was I supposed to explain it? Folkin-sama is trying to rape me? A little blunt besides, I didn't want to have to say that.
"What's wrong?" He asked. I guess he could tell something was wrong. "Come on in," He said, and lead me into his room. It was allot like mine, only the bed wasn't a canopy. And he didn't have a vanity.
"Um, you know Folkin-sama?" I asked, trying to make my voice as strong as I could.
"Yea, what about him?" He asked.
"Well... he was in my room, that's why I was running and why I was late for dinner," I said. I probably didn't give him enough clues, because he wasn't catching on. "He was there, and um," I was panting now, and I dug my tense fingers into my hair. I didn't want to explain it, I didn't want to have to think about it.
"Woah, slow down Tora," Dilandau-sama said getting up. "Come here sit down, your going to faint if you keep breathing like that," He said. I was getting a little dizzy, I walked over to his bed, where he told me to sit. "Okay, keep going," he said.
"Okay, (pant pant) he was there, and I was there, and (pant pant) He was there when I came out of the shower yesterday, (pant )and he's there now. He wont (Pant) leave me (pant) alone!" I said. I couldn't control the tears rolling down my face, I couldn't control my breathing, I couldn't control anything! I couldn't control my hands when they flew over my face, I couldn't do anything but sit there and cry in front of my commanding officer.
"Okay, OKay," He said, stroking my hair. "You're here now, your not in your room, get a grip Tora," He said. I nodded. get a grip, get a grip. You can handle this, I took a breath and calmed down. My body had started rocking back and forth on it's own. That's supposed to be some kind of protection thing. Keep evil spirits away from you or something.
"I'm sorry Dilandau-sama," I said getting up.
"It's okay, just don't break down like that again it's disturbing," He said, and smiled. I had to smile back. I could use some laughter right now.
"Dilandau-sama, Come with me, if he's there and you're there he wont do anything. He'll leave, but if you don't come ..." I couldn't talk anymore. I started to pant again and more tears rolled down my cheeks.
"Okay okay, don't worry, I'll come with you," He said, and handed me a tissue.
"Thank you Dilandau-sama," I said. So he followed me and Folkin-sama wasn't in my room. I smiled when I saw he wasn't there.
"Tora," He said. And I could hear confusion in his voice. I spun around and looked him in the eyes.
"You don't believe me," I said.
"Well, no, he isn't here," He said.
"Just because he isn't here now doesn't mean he wasn't here before!" I said.
"Either way you shouldn't be talking shit about your officers!" He yelled back.
"You bastard!" I screamed. He didn't believe me. Maybe Dalet would. It ended up we did become friends. Good thing too. **Smack!** I was sent flying through the air, and landed on the hard ground. I got up, touched my face where he hit me, and looked at him in disbelief.
"You really are an ass," I said. I walked over to him, looked him in the eyes, on the outer part, they were burning with anger and hatred for me. But I saw beneath that. I could see he really did want to trust me. I didn't care right then. I slapped him. Hard too. It sent his head back and to the right. I shook my head, and tried to stop the tears from welling up in my eyes, but when they came anyway I set off into a run. I never thought that just because someone didn't trust you it could hurt so much. My vision was blurred from the hot tears forming in my eyes. But I didn't bother to stop running. I had been running for a while, when I finally went down. I didn't trip or anything, Dilandau-sama had caught me.
"Let me go," I said, trying to wipe away the tears before he turned me over. That wasn't happening. He turned me over, picked me up, one arm under my legs and one under my back.
"Put me down," I said. But I didn't struggle. My legs were like pudding and I was too tired to hit him again. He walked into his room and put me down on his bed. Then he walked over and got a chair, brought it to the bed, and sat down in it backwards. So the back of the chair was by his legs. He had taken off his armor again so he could catch me.
I sat up and looked him over. He was wearing a red tang top this time and black pants. He did look really Kawaii. Like, 10 times better then a model. Anyway.
"What?" I asked.
"Tora, I'm going to hate myself for this later, but I'm sorry," He said. I looked at him. was he telling the truth? He looked like he ment it. "I went to where all the surveillance cameras all hook up. There's on in your room. There's one in every room. But, I got the tape. And I watched it."
"So, then, you'll help me?" I asked hopefully.
"Folkin is at a higher position then I am, But I'm going to do what I can," He said. I couldn't help what I was doing, I hopped off the bed and ran up to him. I couldn't help but hug him. I don't know what he thought, obviously he wasn't that mad about it, because he put his hands on my waist and hugged me back.
"Thank you Dilandau-sama!" I said.
"No problem," he said. I skipped out of the room, looked back and smiled at Dilandau-sama. I hopped into my room and jumped onto my bed. I didn't have to worry about it any more. Dilandau-sama would help me. And then everything would be fine.
But, stupid me. I forgot to check the room before I fell asleep. So I didn't see him standing in the shadows. And I didn't see him when he stepped out of the shadows. Or when he came and stood right next to my bed. I was asleep by then.
"Tora, I should have known you'd go running for help. I'll have to check the cameras from now on. And get that tape from Dilandau. Don't worry, You'll still be mine," Folkin said.
"N-nothing, Dilandau-sama," I said. I wanted to tell him, I did. But I didn't think Folkin-sama would do it again. It was really hard not tell Dilandau-sama everything under the gaze of his Magenta colored eyes.
"You sure?" He asked. I know he could tell something was wrong, because he kept looking at me. And he watched as I walked away.
