Konichiwa! Sorry for all the hold up for anyone who reads this. As you
may or may not know, I've been busy working on my G Gundam fic. "Noble My
Butt." But I decided to take a break from that and do this fic. If for no
one but Zair out there, Z's about the only one that e-mails me and asks
about it. So, this one goes out to Zair Blitzwing. I hope you guys enjoy
it, and I hope it's worth the wait. As normally, please review. O-
negai!!!
Chapter 9: VENOM'S AWAKENING
~Scene: Ky's Mansion~
*Millia impatiently paces the white marble floors of Ky's spacious living Room. Dizzy is sitting quietly on the plus leather sofa with her legs crossed. She sips a cup of French tea while watching the blonde former assassin start to wear a path in the floor.*
-Millia: "What is taking them so long? When Ky gets back I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind. I could just kill him for making me wait like this. He can't just run off with his friends for a whole day and just leave me here not knowing what's going on."
*The young gear pauses from her tea to speak.*
-Dizzy: "I don't know much about your relationship, but it seems to me that the Holy Knight means an awful lot to you. You must really love him?"
*Millia freezes dead in her tracks. She swallows hard as she turns to Dizzy.*
-Millia: "Lo-love him?" *Forced chuckle* "Don't be silly. He's just my boyfriend. I like him but not that much."
*Dizzy places the tea down on a table beside the couch. She rises and walks over to Millia and stares straight into her eyes.*
-Dizzy: "Look me straight in the eyes and tell me that again."
*Millia sweats nervously while her eyes dart around, looking everywhere but into Dizzy's.*
-Millia: "I uh, I d-don't um...I don't--"
-Dizzy: "Cut the crap."
*Millia stops abruptly, taken back by Dizzy's straight forward remark.*
-Dizzy: "I can tell you are lying. If you love the man just tell him, it can't be that hard."
*Millia sighs slightly as she looks down. She walks back over to the couch and plops down. Dizzy joins her.*
-Millia: "If only it were that easy. I can't tell him that. I've never shown my emotions towards anyone, especially a man. But when I met Ky it was different. I felt safe and secure around him. I felt that I could tell him anything. But I can't, I could never tell Ky how I really feel about him. Besides, I don't know if he feels the same way about me."
*Dizzy breaks into hysterical laughter.*
-Millia: (Slightly ticked off) "What's so funny?!"
-Dizzy: "Haha, you baka. I can't believe how blind you are. You mean more to that man than anything else in this world. Even a fool can see that."
-Millia: "Why do you say that?"
-Dizzy: "Oh come on. It's so obvious, just from the way you two were in the woods any idiot could tell you guys were in love."
*Millia looks up to the ceiling, she stares into the large crystal chandelier hanging 2 stories above them. Millia lowers her head again, then turns to Dizzy with a cocked eyebrow and a slight smirk on her face.*
-Millia: "You really think so?"
-Dizzy: "I know so."
*Millia turns away with a smile on her face.*
-Dizzy: "Now all you have to do is tell him."
-Millia: "Ohhhh no. Not after this stunt he's pulled. No matter what happens, when Ky walks through that door I'm going to act completely cool, like nothing ever happened."
*Just then the front doors open and the fighters begin to walk in. Millia sees Johnny and May first.*
-Millia: "Hmph! Back so soon? I hardly even noticed you all were gone. So where is the rest of your crew?"
*Just then Sol walks in with an injured Ky behind holding his stomach as he limps in.*
-Millia: "What?!?"
*Millia air-dashes off the couch so violently that it sends it and it's occupant tumbling over. Millia air-dashes again near the door. May and Johnny duck for cover as Millia flies overhead.*
-Sol: "Hey, where's the fir--"
*Millia whips her hair out and Narusegawa (Love Hina) slaps Sol Badguy to the wall to get to Ky. she lands just beside him and wraps his left arm around her neck as she puts her right arm around his waist and her left hand on his chest. Millia looks up at Ky with stars in her eyes.*
-Millia: "Oh Ky I'm so glad to you're alive!" *Millia gives Ky a big hug. Ky screams out in pain.*
-Ky: "AHHH! Glad to see you too Millia! But you're hurting me when you hug so tight!"
*Millia looks up at Ky with a semi-angry expression on her face.*
-Millia: "Then let it hurt."
*Millia smiles as she squeezes Ky harder this time before letting off some. Ky winces then smiles as he leans down and whispers softly into her ear.*
-Ky: "I've missed you dearly. I thought that I'd never see you again. Millia, I've got to tell you something. I, I--" *Millia cuts Ky's words off as she presses a finger to his lips.*
-Millia: "Shhh, no need to tell me. I already know."
*Millia and Ky smile as they stare into each other's eyes. Millia sighs relief as she places her head on his chest.*
-Millia: "I wish I could stay like this forever."
*Dizzy rights herself and the couch and sits there looking on with a smile on her face.*
-Dizzy: (To herself) "I knew she could do it."
*May stands to Johnny's side with her hands partially over her face. She blushes slightly as she turns to Johnny.*
-May: "Oh Johnny, isn't this so romantic?"
-Johnny: "I guess so."
*May leans closer and rests her shoulder against Johnny's chest.*
-May: "Getting any ideas?"
-Johnny: "Nope, not a one."
*May falls off Johnny and collapses to the floor in shock.*
-May: "You're so mean!"
*Ky chuckles softly before closing his eyes and resting his head on Millia's. He sighs with content. Just then, Chipp calls from behind Ky.*
-Chipp: "Hey move it already! This guy is getting heavy!"
*Millia growls slightly as Ky moves his arm from around her. Millia begins to turn angrily to Chipp*
-Millia: "Baka! You really know how to kill the mood. What's the big--" *Millia stops abruptly as her eyes fall on Venom who is resting still unconscious on Chipp's shoulder.*
-Millia: "WHAT IS HE DOING HERE!?!?"
-Ky: "Well, it's kinda a long story. Basically it's because Chipp thinks that Venom isn't that bad and that we could use his help."
-Millia: "I refuse to have him breath the same air as me! Besides, he tried to kill me!"
-Ky: "Now, now Millia. I think we should give him a chance to explain himself. Now tell me. Do you REALLY know what happened that night I found you?"
*Millia looks down angrily, then sighs.*
-Millia: "No."
-Ky: "Well, we'll let him tell us himself when he wakes up. Please Millia, do this for me."
*Millia looks up at Ky, then to Chipp and the others, then finally to Venom before turning a and walking away. She sits down on the couch besides Dizzy and crosses her arms and legs as she turns her head to the side and closes her eyes.*
-Millia: *Sigh* "Ok, but only because you asked me Ky."
*Chipp and Ky looked relieved. They all walk into the living room and make themselves comfortable on Ky's other luxurious chairs and couches. Chipp lays Venom down on a separate couch before joining Johnny and May on theirs.*
-Millia: "I guess you all are pretty tired after all that. I'll go make some tea for everyone and you can tell me and Dizzy what happened when we return."
-Sol: "Sounds like a good idea. Make my tea strong will ya?"
-Millia: "Ok. Oh, Dizzy?"
-Dizzy: "Yes?"
-Millia: "Do you mind giving me a hand with the tea?"
-Dizzy: "No problem."
*Dizzy and Millia get up and walk to the kitchen as Ky and the others rest for a while.*
~10 minutes later~
*Millia and Dizzy return with everyone's tea. They pass it out and sit down, this time Millia sits next to Ky and the two Gears share a couch. Millia takes a sip of her tea before turning to Ky.*
-Millia: "So, tell me what happened that was so important to leave us here alone overnight."
-Ky: "First of all I'd like to apologize for that. I didn't mean to make you worry. But what transgressed between our parting was of most importance. You see..."
*Ky commenced to tell the story of all that happened over the past day.*
~52 minutes later~
-Ky: "And that's the what happened."
-Millia: "Man, you guys have been through a lot more than I expected. I'm sorry if I was being complicated."
-Ky: "It's ok. Now we've just got to formulate a plan on what to do next."
-Millia: "Well, while you guys work out your plan me and Dizzy will clean up these couple of dishes, we'll be right back."
*Millia and Dizzy leave for the Kitchen. Ky and the others begin to talk, but their voices slowly wake Venom and he begins to stir.*
-Venom: "Zato-sama...Zato-sama."
*Venom slowly opens his eyes as the light comes streaming through Venom's curtain of white hair and into his indigo eyes. he covers them with the back of his hand and squints to filter out the excess light till his eyes grew accustom to his new bright surroundings. Venom sits up slowly, holding his body in pain. He searches the room till his eyes fall on a figure. His eyes still focusing to make out the silhouette.
-Venom: "Zato-Sama?"
*Venom's eyes slowly come into focus and he makes out the figure of the Seikeshidan leader.*
-Venom: "What? What's going on?"
*Venom scans the room to see Sol, May, Johnny and Chipp also standing around him. Venom clenches his teeth as he teleports back against the wall next to the kitchen door. Venom concentrates and forms several cue balls around him, with a simple nod of his head he sends all of them hurtling towards each of the fighters. He tips his head back slightly and the balls stop inches from each of the fighter's faces. A few of them flinch, but as they open their eyes they see the cues still frozen in place before their faces, yet still spinning rapidly.*
-Venom: "I promise not to hurt anyone as long as you tell me where I am and what happened to Zato-Sama."
*Ky turns his head away and grits his teeth upon hearing Venom's words. He turns back to Venom and with great difficulty speaks to him.*
-Ky: "I'm sorry Venom, but Zato-1one is, he's dead."
*Each of the cue balls slowly stops their rotation before dropping to the ground as the words set into Venom's ears. He leans his head back and runs his fingers through his hair as he does he tucks some of his hair behind his left ear revealing the left side of his face.*
-Venom: "Somehow I knew the outcome before the battle even began."
*He exhales deeply before looking up. He turns to Ky with an appreciative smile on his face.*
-Venom: "Thank you Holy Knight. For setting my master free, and for sparing my life. I am sorry for any pain and suffering caused on my behalf. But I knew that only you could save my master. So I had to make sure that only you fought him."
*Venom turns to Sol who is leaning against a wall with his head down and arms folded.*
-Venom: "I especially apologize to you Sol."
*Sol looks up a bit confused.*
-Venom: "You see I had no idea that you were so out of energy when I fought you. I knew that you were the only equal to the Holy Knight."
-Johnny and Chipp: "Hey!"
-Venom: *Chuckles* "No offense to you guys, but these two are on a level that you wouldn't believe. They've been hiding their true powers so far, but you will all see them in due time."
*Just then Dizzy walks through the door besides Venom with her back turned to the others.*
-Dizzy: (To Millia) "I'll just be in here while you finish up ok?"
*Venom's cocks his eyebrow and he walks around behind Dizzy as she closes the door.
-Venom: "You've even managed to get the illusive Gear Holy Knight, I am very impressed."
*Dizzy's eyes widen as Venom's familiar voice falls on her ears. She turns slowly to face him.*
-Dizzy: "No, not you--ahhh!! Yamite!!!
*Dizzy holds her sides in pain. She moans painfully as the cloth begins to move on her outfit.*
-Dizzy: "Honegai...Yamite!....Kayyyahh"
*Dizzy's shrill cry fills the air as Necro and Undine rip through her flesh and force their way out. Necro transforms into a giant wolf's head and lunges at Venom with fangs drawn.*
-Dizzy: "Stop it!!!"
*Necro freezes in place with his fangs dripping with saliva right at Venom's unblinking face.*
-Venom: *Chuckles* "I see you still remember me huh Dizzy?"
