Part Two of One Wish By Arie Tarou
Chapter Three - "Sympathy"
The Liquid Mirror Reflects My Soul
But Keeps My Secrets Within
It Feeds The Emanating Flame
In Which My Life Has Become
A Flame In Which Gives And Takes
The Resources In Which It Depends On
Is What Slowly Gets Cut Off
Steadily Turning Into Hot Embers
That Still Have The Ability To Burn
In This Ocean Of My Thoughts
Time Becomes Enveloped In Itself
The Pains And Joys Of A Past Life
Seem To Comes Back In Full Bloom
Unfolding Its Truths Right Before Me
My Eyes Now Naked To The World
No Longer Covered By The Innocence
In Which Blinds The Still Venerable
I See, What Now Goes On, In Truth
She shook her head as she stood in the hallway of the busy school. "I can't
believe you convinced me to come here." The girl beside her smiled
wickedly.
"Well, i didn't want to be here with no one to hang. Especially with Bell
and K1 gone. And now that your here, I'm sure that things won't be boring!"
Arie poked at Megami and she laughed, walking past the different club tables.
They could hear the roars of the Motor club ahead, and Arie took a quick turn
toward the other direction but Megumi caught her arm.
"But, Meg... you know I'm not a car person! I touch one and it will
explode!!" The girls smiled and headed towards her goal.
"You may not like it, but I do! Besides, someone has to take K1's
place!" Arie shook her head, double checking her that her blue hair stayed
in it's buns at the base of her neck. Up ahead she could see Tamiya-sama and
Ootaki-sama harrasing another student. Well, she thought it was a student. He
was much taller and dressed in a suit, much the same way that Aoshima dressed,
but only he looked much younger and
a foreigner
?!
"Hey Tamiya and Ootaki-sama!" Megami yelled over the crowd and
finished pushing her way tot he table, and tossed the Foreigner a dazzling
smile. "You boys harassing possible club members again?" They blinked
at her.
"d'uh, no, Megami-chan. Shawn-sama is sponsoring our club this year. T'was
trying to see if he would take over as pres, for Keiichi." Replied Tamiya,
his voice booming as always.
"Knuckle-heads. I already knew THAT!." The blinked at her and shrugged
and decided to look for someone else to 'convince' to join the club. Arie hid
behind Megami, trying to be unseen, but Sora caught her. She gave them a look
and they coward a little.
"Konnichi-wa, Arie-sama. You visiting or going to school now?" Arie
stopped and smiled at the girl. She was much older now then when she had first
joined the club. She was growing into quite the woman, now at the age of 20.
Arie, herself was only 19, but not many knew that and assumed that she was 22
along with her twin. The time traveling thing was a pain. She usually tried to
ignore the fact that she lost 3000 years of wisdom to a stupid Deamon.
"Unfortunately yes." Arie jabbed a thumb at Megami who was now in
conversation with the gaijin, and smiled. "She made me do it, I
swear!" Sora giggled, and Arie, as always, felt endeared to the girls
innocent soul.
"Arie-chan!" Megami pulled her arm a little. "This is Shawn-Sensai.
He's teaching English this year, as well as taking a few classes himself. The
Tall man smiled, and Arie almost caught her breath and blushed. Almost.
"Hello, Shawn." Arie said in perfect English. Shawn looked back at her
and smiled a little.
"Ah, so someone around her does speak English! How wonderful! And no real
heavy accent either. I'm impressed."
Arie grinned with a wink. "I use to live in Canada for some time, and at
that point i could speak better English then Japanese." Well, it wasn't a
lie, just a nice twist of the truth.
Shawn raised an eyebrow. "Where in Canada did you visit?"
Feeling no real reason to keep that secret as Canada was a big place.
"Prince George, you?"
He blinked and his face shone, "Really!! I'm from there too!"
Arie blinked.
"Um... what are you talking about?" Megami asked in Japanese, half
confused.
"Arie-san and I use to live in the same town together. Isn't that an
interesting coincidence?" He looked her over and half frowned. "But i
don't remember a Blue haired girl that lived there. What school did you go to?
Assuming that you lived there for a long time."
"Cedars. Lived there for 18 years. But i wasn't Blue for all that long. I
was a silver blonde, much like Belldandy my twin sister."
"Ah, I see."
Arie looked to Megami and back and Shawn, to Sora who looked rather confused.
"I, uh, gotta go. I missed a few books that I needed to pick up." And
witht hat Arie turned around and walked quickly in the direction that she had
come from. Prince George? Was that a coincidence or a playing of Fate. She dared
not ask Urd about it, maybe Skuld might have an idea. But she rarely used her
Goddess powers for anything. Brett? Arie shook her head. No no, she couldn't
ask. She will have to wait and see. Besides, Megami liked the guy, and a good
guy never came around very often that she found interesting.
Arie shook her head. Something told her that she shouldn't have come here. But
then something else told her that there was more then what meets the eye. and
That was what had her running.
