"Kid."
I was half sleep and to tired to really wake up. I felt the heat on my face and knew if I dared to open my eyes I'd be blinded by the sunlight. I contracted into a darker spot and snuggled against something warm. Probably Ein.
"Kid."
I tried to ignore the voice and block out the singing chirping birds. Usually I was a morning person, but I was so worn out from the night before I felt as thought I couldn't even stand. Now I know how Spike and Faye-Faye must feel after they drink to much of that brown sour smelling stuff. Yeah, a Hangover. Finally, I guess they got tired of me ignoring them and shook me away. My eyes snapped open and I was looking right in the pair of the craziest colored eyes I had ever seen. Gold. A silver glint caught me in the eyes, when I blinked I saw it was Dragon. His lip ring glittered, but his eyes didn't. Like that weird tattoo of a demon crawling on his leg, his eyes was red. Well, not THAT red, but red all the same. Sweat was on his forehead, his hair looked a mess. Not silky and straight like the night before.
"Come on, we got to go," he said pulling me up. I looked around and was a little shocked to find myself laying in the most luxurious bed I had ever seen. soft silky comforters, the color of wine, with gold and black swirls mixed in the fabric. Even though the large windows behind me, draped with blood red curtains, was letting gallons of light pour into the room, it was still dark. There was a mahogany dresser with all shorts of bottles and glass things sitting on it. It looked like a scene of a battle between heaven and hell was craved around the mirror. I hardly had time to look at all the wonderful things, before Dragon walked passed me again. This time he had his shirt off and was headed towards a huge clothes chest. He looked at me and nodded towards a door in the room. "Hurry up," he said quietly, picking through the things. I followed his directions without a word, Ein still laid there sleep.
It was a bathroom, just as elaborate and dark as the bedroom. And it had TWO toilets. What in the world is someone going to do with two toilets? One was almost normal looking expect there was a little fountain in the middle that would spit water up at me when I flushed it. On the normal looking one was a pair of velvety feeling pants with stripes down the side and a matching jacket. A showers was already running for me. The only thing I didn't have a chance to do, was to brush my teeth. But I made up for that by using some mouthwash sitting on the edge of the sink. When I came back out, Dragon stood in front of the mirror. He must have not heard the shower cut off. He stood there, fixing a snug shirt over his body. I didn't think he looked to good in it, I didn't like they way it stretched over his back like it was about to rip. Obviously he thought so too because he turned his back towards me and took it off. It was my second time getting a glimpse at the dragon bird tattooed on his arm. He turned back around, now wearing a black shirt that went better with his jeans. Dragon brushed his hair, then picked up some eyedrops, letting them fall in his eye. He blinked a few times, then picked up a yellow bottle. A medicine bottle. Pills rattled around against the plastic as he shook them into his palm, then popped them into his mouth. He didn't even bother taking some water with them. I wondered if he had a headache, or if he was sick.
"Ready." I called out closing the door. He nodded at me, then slipped the pills in a bag sitting on a nearby chair.
"All right lets go." Dragon replied, slipping on a pair of dark glasses. Why would anybody want to hide those pretty eyes, I don't know? I picked up Ein and followed him out of the door. I almost gasped at how big and pretty everything was. He lead me down a sort of inside balcony. I looked up at the domed shaped ceiling, another scene that looked like a battle of Heaven and Hell. I looked down on the heads of men as they discussed something at a table. I had a real good view of one with a bald spot.
"Where are we?" I whispered. He whipped back around and Shh'd me. His voice hissed all throughout the building. The men looked up at us then turned back to each other, continuing their conversation. Dragon stood their stiff as a board, then grabbed my hand and pulled me down stairs. We went through some more doors, until we was outside. The yard was huge and green with bushes and flowers in the shapes of people and animals. A huge fountain spurted crystal clear blue water. I wondered momentary if it tasted like blueberry before he yanked me out of the huge gates and towards the street. He held a taxi and we slipped in quickly. Dragon reached in one of the pockets of the bag and handed the driver a 1000 bill woolong. The cabbie's eyes glittered over with tears before he nodded and practically bowed in his seat with gratitude.
"Where to my friend?" The man asked, kissing the money. Dragon looked at me one last time. There was no turning back after this. I took a huge deep breath and nodded.
"Spaceport."
