Getting to Know You
"The Viper Mansion must be right above us."
"Well, let's stay here till nightfall."
Serge nodded at the suggestion.
"So. you're Sergio and you're Kira?" asked Nikki
"Bad with names are ya?" observed Kid
"Bonding with people had never been my thing dude."
Kid lowered her head and raise an eye brow.
"et." Nikki finished smiling nervously
"Anyway I'm Kid and this is Serge."
"Serge.?"
the mentioned, had gone to sit against the wall of the well, he turned to look at Nikki when he was mentioned.
"Isn't much for word is he?" asked Nikki
"Wouldn't know, don't have long meeting him, but he seems like a good bloke, hell he agreed to let you join us." She laughed at Nikki, and Serge couldn't help but smile.
"¬¬ mmmm. Whatever man. look I'm tired of chasing weird plants and stuff, I'm gonna doze off a bit, wake me by nightfall."
"Yeah yeah." said Kid as Nikki took a spot a few feet from Serge.
She stayed facing the underwater vein and the waterfall that was nearby. She had a very strait posture, the one that let you know without her speaking that she was a proud, stubborn person, her fists always hung clenched by her side, making you think twice about crossing her, yet she had such delicate and graceful moves, and a body so petite that it made you think she was frail, wanting to protect her as is she were of glass. Kid bent her knees and sat cross legged on the ground. Serge blinked, for the first time since Kid had been staring at the water, and he realized he had been staring at her. He forced his mind to be interested in a small rock beside him while he tried his best not to blush. why had he been staring at her? Better yet, why had he been blushing?
Involuntarily he lifted his eyes again and saw her boots and one glove, the right one it seemed, to the side of her, she had her legs over the edge of the rock and was swaying them gently to and fro in the clear water. Again he found himself staring at her back.
"Oi mate, you wanna bore a hole through me?"
He jumped at the sound of her voice, she hadn't turned around or stopped her legs from moving, she just spoke.
"Your gaze is not very light or soft you know." She said turning to him and smiling. "Gives me the jitters, feels like yur looking into my spirit or somethin'"
"S- sorry."
"Damn mate, you gotta talk more often, if you scream my name and I can't see ya, I wouldn't be able to recognize ya. Plus you got a nice voice."
Serge, as usual, didn't say anything but only looked into her playful, childlike eyes. Her smile faded slowly as she simply looked back.
Both gave a jump as an awful grunting noise came from behind them. Nikki, was now sprawled on the rock and snoring like there was no tomorrow, good thing he only did this occasionally.
" weird ol' bugger. he trying to snort his brains out or something?"
Serge chuckled.
"Hey! You can smile, first time I've seen you do it."
Serge smiled and made his way over to where Kid was sitting, due to the fact that now being close to Nikki did not make him exactly comfortable.
"I simply haven't had much to smile about." He said crossing his legs and sitting down
"Guess you're right, if some one called my a bloody ghost and I saw my grave I wouldn't exactly be jumping for joy. So mate. why do you want to get into Viper Mansion?"
"to know."
"know?"
"I just want to know , I want to see if I can understand somehow, what happened, I was at the beach with Leena." he stopped seeing Kid's questioning face "um........ a friend." What was that?? He thought to himself "then suddenly I go to a town, that used to be my own, but where my mother is gone, nobody knows me, and better yet I died ten years ago. Makes you feel desperate not to know anything. it's like having amnesia."
Kid looked to Serge with compassionate eyes, she had never thought of it that way. poor bloke.
"What about you?"
"Me?" she asked snapping out of her trance "I have business to take care of up there."
Something about the way she said that, told Serge not to push things, so he didn't. instead he looked down at the ripples she was making with her dainty feet.
"Stuffy in here ain't it?" she asked
he nodded. She took in a deep breath and closed her eyes, smiling to herself at something Serge could only guess. The way her lips curled up at the corners, and her eyes, even closed, showed her happiness, the way her eyebrows moved slightly up and down, and her thick eyelashes fluttered every now and then. The way her head moved discreetly from side to side, and the way the muscles in her arms adjusted to the soft shifting of her body.
"Yer staring again aren't ya?" she said without notice.
He flinched. "am I really that weird?" she asked finally facing him
He shook his head. "I just." he stuttered "how did you know?"
"I told you mate, your gaze is one of the strongest weapons you have. it's too deep and intense to go unnoticed, especially if ya stare. Makes me feel vulnerable, knowing or thinking that you can see. well me."
Serge knotted his brows, he didn't really understand. And Kid knew, she chuckled and went back to looking at the water.
"You can see a person through your eyes, I mean really see them, the way they are, no masks or acts. because of your innocence you see them as they truly are. I never show myself to anyone. I have never and will never, and the feeling that you can do what no one else can, well gets me to freak out. I really don't want anybody to see who I really am."
"Why? You're a beautiful person."
Kid looked to Serge with a tinge of red in her cheeks
"Oi! You don't even know me! How would you know? Yer too trustin'! you can't do that with strangers boy. they could hurt you real bad. I could be a back stabbin thief for all you know. I could kill ya or betray ya or."
"No."
"Huh? What do you mean no? How would you know? You don't know me."
"But I see you, just like you said. I can see who you really are, and I can see that you would never do something like what you mentioned. You would never hurt me. but you don't know me. You're the one who's too trusting."
Kid blushed harder and swallowed a lump in her throat.
"You can be strong for people, but when it comes to yourself you grow a bit insecure, but you take pity from no one. You have very much pride and honor, but you are reasonable and have so much love in your heart you can become compassionate at times. You stand tall and brave, by yourself, as you are probably used to being, there is only one thing that really scares you and even though you have experienced it with great depth before, it's still there. loneliness."
"All right shut up. Are you finished analizing me or do you want me to undress too? Geez a person doesn't want to be told everything about themselves and especially doesn't wanna hear it from the mouth of another."
"Sorry. But I never said it was true. you just did."
Kid's mouth opened in shock. She lowered her head trying to hide her blush and suddenly felt incredibly stupid.
"Sorry." came Serge's voice
"Why would you say somethin' if ya didn't think it was true?"
Serge was temporarily out of words. "It was. just a guess."
"It's invading one's privacy if you ask me, there are some things people don't like and I don----- ahhhhhhhh!"
"Kid!"
a *thump* and a big splash echoed in the underground cavern.
"Kid!" said Serge jumping into the water himself, as soon as he had touched the ground Kid burst out of the river, coughing and sputtering.
"Are you ok?" asked Serge stepping over to where she was.
She regained a little air by taking in deep breaths then growled and looked over at the rock where she had been sitting.
"What happened?" asked Serge again
He watched as her eyes scanned the rock and finally stopped, Serge was about to look when her fist beat him to it, he heard a disturbing crunching noise and couldn't help but wince. When she removed her fist her could see something that used to have a lot of legs, a pair of pinchers and a lot of spiky things around it's body.
"Damn bugs." Said Kid wiping off some yellow liquid on her left glove.
Serge hadn't seen anything but the splash, apparently this thing had bitten her, she was startled and started to get up, forgetting her feet where in water she put one under her to push herself up and slipped on the mossy rock, causing her to hit her rump, them slide into the water.
"Shit, just when my skirt was starting to dry off." She said hoisting herself up to the rock again.
She shook her arms a bit then wiped her face and shook her hair to the side, with both hands she started squeezing the top of her ponytail working her way down.
"Ow!!! My cute little ass." she said rubbing her backside.
After deciding it had enough pampering she took off the small red outer shirt and squeezed out all the water in it, then she extended it and set it on a dry patch on the rock. Not aware the he was staring again he jumped at the sound of her voice.
"You can get out of the water now my hero." Kid said smiling at him
He blushed and also made his way to the rock.
"d'ya jump to save little ol' me?" she asked tauntingly
a crack in the rock next to him became very interesting as his face began to heat up. Kid smiled, in a less malicious way and put her hand over his leg.
"Thanks mate. good to know some one gives a damn about me."
Before she could remove it, Serge held it back gently. She looked to him with question in her eyes. He however was looking at her hand. Squinting.
"er."
he took it close to his face and pushed it away a little, with shaky hands he approached two fingers to her index. He frowned.
"I can't see." He said
She could understand that. it had gotten dark since they were here but. "can't see what?"
"here." he said taking her hand to his mouth and putting part of her index finger in it.
She blushed four shades of red but didn't pull her hand back.
"Did I miss something?" asked a familiar voice
Kid turned her head and Serge lifted his eyes to see Nikki staring at them with a smirk on his face.
"Can't imagine what you two did while I was sleeping."
"Why you.!" started a blushing Kid.
Serge took Kid's hand out of his mouth and spit to the side. Then glared at Nikki.
"Let's see. Kido has her shirt off, both of you are soaking wet and Serge is sucking Kido's finger. hmmmmmm"
"You weirdo hentai! I fell in the river cuz some stupid critter bit me an Serge was just... um. was. er, what were ya doin?"
"You had a pincer stuck in you finger, couldn't get it out with my hands because my hands shake too much and I can't see a thing anymore. So I sucked it out. Satisfied?" he asked Nikki
he raised his eyebrows "uh huh. dammit why not accept it? I'm not saying it's a bad thing man! Besides you two make a cute couple, your kids would come out as freaking super models."
'Super model kids? they would all have their fathers eyes, those eyes are too beautiful to end at Serge, and maybe with my hair, or even Serge's. what would a little tiny Serge look like?'
"Oi!!" she shook her head and blushed 'What's this dumb ass got me thinkin?!?!? My kids Father???!' "Where'd you get the lame brain idea that he and I are together?! You hentai! If ya don't shut up I'll be forced to kick your sorry ass so bad you won't be able to so much as to blink without it hurt'n!"
"Chill dudete. he's not that bad is he?"
'. I'm actually. at loss of words. I'm actually stuttering! Damn him' thought Kid.
"Yer askin' for it.!" she warned
"Ok ok. I get it, let's just go ok? it's already dark isn't it?"
Serge heard Kid growl and gave thanks to the darkness that hid his shy blush.
~~*°*~~
