Chapter 4: Bird
Kuja wondered the halls in search of Monoiro, looking in every room, leaving nothing untouched by his eyes. The walls were graced with paintings made long ago, mostly of Garnet and Zidane. Sculptures also surounded the large castle with their marble beauty. Kuja trailed over the texture of the petrified figures, lightly brushing them with gentle finger tips. His amethyst eyes scanned the inside of the castle, still searching for Monoiro, but he seemed to keep getting side tracked by all the castle had to offer. It was a feast for his eyes. True, he had been in the castle nuemerous time befores, but never stopped and actually admired it's elegance. Though the castle wall's were such a beautiful thing to admire, he must keep up his search. Kuja only preyed he hadn't left to somewhere else without even metting him.
He paused his quick paced movements, sudden thoughts flodded his mind. What if Monoiro wouldn't see him? Worse yet, what if he did then laughed in Kuja's face? So many 'what ifs'....Could he possibly go through with it now? Or would he cower out of it? Kuja put his weight on one foot to the other, contemplating his ordeal. His shifty eyes looked around, as if the answer to his problems would be plastered on the paintings he awed at. He looked to his left, and the first picture he saw left him stunned. It was of two men. One of them was standing up with his arm and hand exteneded and a smile fixed firmly on his face. The other was sprawled on the groud, extending his hand back to the other man. A bronze plaque was placed below the artwork, written on it were the words "Come with me, and be everfree,". Kuja's eye lids closed half-way and his mouth stood agap. Entranced in the picture, he tried to take in it's meaning, but he discovered he couldnt. Everfree? Is such thing possible? No one could be free, not really.....
A slight tap on his shoulder brought Kuja back from the nullified state.
"Hi! Is there something you need?" A very light-hearted, happy voice called out to him. Kuja turned his head slightly, his eyes met with the black, pink-tinted ones the Monoiro, and Monoiro alone owned. He jumped back, startled. The man he was looking for had just appeared in front of him, what was he to do? Talk? Yes, talking would be a good choice. All Monoiro did was have a beaming smile on his face that he directed towards Kuja.
"I..was just," Kuja tried to form words, but he always manged to trip and studder over them. Monoiro blankly stared at him and blinked, what was wrong with him? Kuja's tongue twisted and turned as he attempted to make out words, but his stubborn mouth wouldn't let him. He gave up, defeated by his embarrasement. Monoito stepped very close to Kuja and exaimed his face, like a child finding a flower that they've never seen before. Kuja eyes widend, turning away quickly so he wouldn't see the blush that had crept over his face. Monoiro smiled playfully, like a cat...A mishevious cat that's just found a bird.
