My Mistake
by aya_yahiko/terrandagger
Chapter 09
It was late at night.
And I'm still awake.
I wondered why, but I guess I couldn't sleep.
...
I can't believe she'd been looking for me.
I thought those 2 years were spent defeating the prophets or such.... but looking for me?
...Well, Kaitlyn could be wrong.
Yeah, that's it. She probably misunderstood everything.
But Virginia muttered something once...
~~~~~~~~~~
Flashback...
"Were going WHERE?!"
"Humphrey's Peak and Baskar! I'm sure Clive and Gallows will be happy to see you!"
"Happy to see me?! Them?! They'd probably shoot me at first sight!"
"Oh come on! You know they won't do that!"
This was the arguement that Jet and Virginia had as they headed for the train station. Virginia was smiling happily, her hand twirled around Jet's arm, obviously pulling him to come. Jet, on the other hand, was struggling to get free from her grasp.
"Yeah right, they won't!" The male traveler replied sarcastically, as they entered the train station. "Clive probably wouldn't,… but Gallows?! Oh man,…"
Virginia smiled at the clerk and got two tickets to East Highlands before replying to him. "Don't be such a party-pooper, Jet! It'll be a fun reunion!"
Jet rolled his eyes as she pushed him into the train. "Fun, yeah right. You're not the one who's gonna get killed."
The young girl laughed at her companion's statement. "Don't worry, they won't kill you!" She said, as pulling him into a train cabin. She then muttered in a very very soft voice, "Besides,... I won't let them... if they do... 2 years of searching..."
"What did you say?"
"Huh? Oh, nothing, nothing."
End Flashback....
~~~~~~~~~~
...
I guess Kaitlyn was right.
She has been looking for me.
...
Sheesh, I'm telling you, that kid has got her father's brains.
But anyway,...
Why would Virginia be looking for me?
...
And sheesh, why do I care if she was looking for me?!
...
Because you love her, you moron.
I WHAT?!
Don't try to decieve yourself.
Am I speaking to myself? Oh man, this is getting bad...
Shut up and listen to me. Hear my words : You_love_her.
I don't... and I can't!
You DO and you CAN.
I'm a sample, for crying out loud! I'm not a REAL HUMAN BEING!
Listen to yourself. Now try and tell her that! Tell me, what would she do to you?
...She'll pound me and tell me to quit it... because to her... I'm still Jet. To her, I'm not some sample...
Right! You see? She accepts you for who you are!
......
Snap out of it! To her, you're you! No matter who or what you are, you're you! And she lo--
Don't even try to say those words.
Hehehe. I'm your inner-self. You can also control what I say.
So I AM talking to myself!
Yup! And you yourself told yourself that you love her. So you can't deny now. HAHA!
You're too weird to be me.
Doesn't everyone have a weird side?
...I'll stop talking to you now, since you've admitted that I'm talking to myself. Man, I feel stupid.
You are stupid.
If you weren't myself I'd strangle you to death.
Then I guess I'm lucky?
Shut up.
Hehehe.
Weirdo.
I'm you, you're me, together were the same as an apple tree!
That did NOT make sense.
I know.
Are you sure you're me? You sound like one of the guardians trying to set me up with Virginia or something.
M-Me? A g-guardian? No... o-of course not!
You're stuttering. I RARELY stutter. You are a guardian!
Uh, no?
Yes! Now if I just take of this medium...
NO! DON'T! WAIT---!
There, done.
...
...
...
Silence, finally.
Those guys really get on my nerves sometimes. And they call themselves 'calmers' or 'healers'. Sheesh.
Sigh...
Oh well...
I wonder where Virginia is now?
Waitta minute...
WHY THE HECK AM I LOOKING FOR HER?
...
Is there really... no use denying it...?
...I love her?
But why? I'm Jet, I don't fall for people that easily.
Why?
...Let's enumerate.
...She cheers me up.
She helps me through ANYTHING.
She smiles always... even just for me.
She's helpful to everyone.
She cares about everything around her.
She...
Sheesh, lets stop. This'll be a list that'll go on forever.
I can't believe I thought all those things! I'm JET. I'm not supposed to make compliments to ANYBODY.
...Especially her.
She's just so... different...
I feel weird being around her...
Weird... in a nice, peaceful way...
ARGH! I'm at it again! I can't fall in love with her, I just can't... can't...
...
But I kissed her the other day.
...
...
Ok, now that does it. I am...
~~~~~~~~~~~~
His reverie broke off as a certain lady called his name.
"Jet?" Virginia spoke sweetly, her voice coming from behind. Jet turned around to see her there, standing against the moonlight, a smile on her face. She walked slowly to him, her footsteps sounding softly in the rooftop. "Are you alright?"
The young male Drifter turned back to the direction he was previously facing, and then nodded. He felt the twin pistol holder sit next to him, embracing her knees.
"I can't believe we've come this far," She said, as looking to the stars. "You're here,... so everything's ok now... right?"
Jet obviously didn't get what she meant.
"Why is everything ok when I'm here?" He responded, as looking to her. She turned also and looked at him, her emerald eyes staring into his amethyst ones. She giggled a bit, seeing his confused face.
"I dunno." She finally replied, a smile still plastered in her face. "Everything's just ok... or is going to be ok, when you're here."
The Airgetlahm holder rolled his eyes. "You confuse me."
"I know."
There was silence for a while, with the honey-haired girl smiling contentedly, and the purple-eyed Drifter still staring at her confusedly. They didn't know that were looking into each other's eyes until...
"Jet! Where did you get that?!" Virginia exclaimed suddenly, as putting her hand on her friend's face. Jet blushed at her touch, and was being thankful to the moonlight that it didn't show.
"Get what?" He replied back, as looking at her hand. It was carresing something in his face, something near his left temple. 'Darn it! The scar!'
There was a scar in his left temple, a medium-sized scar that gashed through the upper part of his cheek to just the bottom of his scalp.
Virginia brushed his hair away and traced the line of his wound. The young lad blushed madly as she did so, and again was thankful for the lack of light. When the young lady's hand reached his cheek, she just kept it there.
"Don't play dumb with me, Jet Enduro." She said seriously, using his whole name. Everyone know that when someone uses your whole name their very, very, serious...
Jet gulped, he knew he couldn't get out of this one. 'Here comes the scolding.' He thought, as bending his head down. 'Why did my hair just have to leave that spot? I could've escaped her wrath, but nooo, my hair just seems to WANT to let her see that stupid scar.' He then sighed and began explaining. "I got that scar from... Serpent's Coils."
"Serpent's Coils?" Virginia repeated, her hand still not leaving his cheeks. "You mean you were still with us?"
The man nodded. He knew the excact reasons why he had gotten that scar. He didn't mind having it at all...
'This must've been a deep cut... to become a scar like this...' The young lady thought, as tracing his gash once again. 'Why hadn't I noticed this in Serpent's Coils? Where did he get it there....?'
It was then when it came to her.
~~~~~~~~~~
Flashback...
"VIRGINIA!" Gallows and Clive shouted in unision, seeing a rock about to hit their leader.
She didn't seem to hear them...
'Dammit, Virginia!' Jet thought, as beginning already to run towards her direction. He felt a great surge of energy just to do that...
The he realized why. He couldn't bare to see her die.
The rock was about to hit her. There was not much time.
The young emerald-eyed lady looked upwards, and seeing the boulder about to hit her, she closed her eyes, ready for the impact.
But it never came.
Instead, she felt someone pull her away,... and the next thing she knew, she was in someone's embrace.
They had landed hardly on the ground, but hey, that was better than being hit by that rock. The maiden opened her eyes slowly, she felt warm...
"Ouch..." Virginia said, as sitting up and rubbing her head. She had hit that part hard. She looked at her side to see who had saved her... and boy, was she surprised at what she saw.
The cold and stubborn Jet Enduro. It was him. He saved her.
The young girl blushed as she gasped lightly, seeing Jet's eyes closed, as if in pain. She saw him open his eyes, his cold, emotionless eyes turning into soft, gentle ones. As they made eye contact, Jet immediately pulled away, and Virginia suddenly stood up, heading towards Maya.
-----------------------------
Later...
They were glad that was over. They were FINALLY out of Serpent's Coils.
Their leader seemed quiet though... those words Maya had said to her obviously had hit a nerve.
'I am going to kill that blonde for making her like this...' A young lad thought, as he walked behind the group. He stared at Virginia more intensly, and he saw that her pace was slowing down. Clive and Gallows did not seem to notice this, for they were too busy chatting. He saw the girl wait for him, and as he approached her, she walked beside him. She seemed to be contented, walking beside him in silence.
Both spoke no words... yet from the corner of his eyes, Jet saw the honey-haired maiden look at him, then for some odd reason, gasp.
"Jet! You're bleeding!" She exclaimed, as instictively grabbing a hankey and wiping it on his left temple. She had seen the blood drip down from his cheeks, to the solid, dusty, wasteland floor.
The treasure hunter knew he had a wound. He had gotten it while saving her. He fell to the ground much too hard. To tell the truth, it really hurt. It hurt BADLY. As in.
He brushed her hand away. "I'm not!"
"You are!"
"No, I'm not!"
And then suddenly, out of the blue, Jet felt intense pain surge through his head. He clutched his wound tightly, feeling the blood touch his hand. Then, the next thing he knew, he felt faint, and his vision was dark.
He blacked out, falling into her arms.
End of Flashback...
