Tawanos: I WON!! I can't believe it, well… yes I can, but that's not the point. This fic that you are reading was part of a competition being hosted, and judged, by RaiKinoshin, another author on FF.net. I am so happy, I could just write another chapter right now and I think I will.
I have the next few chapters written in their first draft form. I'm just going to go over them again before posting them. The next one should appear on Friday morning, keep enjoying my fics I know I do.
Disclaimer: Don't own Zoids, never have and probably never will (but I'm working on that.)
Chapter 5- Emotions
The next day was a solemn one. An early light rain woke Bit and Liger and made them go inside the Chariot. Leena woke when she heard the hatch close and came out of her room to see a soaking Bit and a very unhappy looking Liger. She laughed as she went and got towels for them to dry off. Then she went back to her room so Bit could change in private. After a minute she peeked out from behind her door to see if Bit had finished changing, he had finished. He now wore khaki pants, a green shirt, and a red and gray vest.
He was sitting in one of the chairs that they had, Liger was curled around his feet now dry and resting. Bit's head was bowed over his fists that were clenched together, a gold chain led out of his fists and around his neck. Leena walked up behind Bit and was about to put her hand on his shoulder, but there was a nock at the door and since no one else seemed to be up she went to answer the door.
"Yes? What is it?" Leena opened the door and found Harry standing there under a large umbrella. "Oh, it's you." Harry was dressed much the same way as he had been the day before.
"Leena, my precious. I would love to speak with you. May I come in?" Leena looked over her shoulder at Bit and saw that he hadn't moved.
"Not now. You can talk to me here, can't you?" Harry tried to look past Leena to see what she had looked at, but Leena blocked his view before he could see Bit.
"I suppose." He said reluctantly. "My father wanted me to tell your dad that we move out as soon as the rain ends. He told me to give you this map so your father would know the path we are going to take." He pulled a rolled up map from one of his pockets and handed it to Leena. Leena reached out and took the map, but before she could take back her hand Harry had grabbed it and made a move to kiss her hand. Leena jerked her hand out of his before he had a chance to kiss it.
"Is that all?" She asked Harry coolly, but he ignored her tone.
"I just wanted to profess my undying love for you." He said trying to look as handsome as he could but managing to only look more stuck up that he did at any time before.
"Ok." And Leena slammed the door and walked back towards Bit.
Bit had put the locket away and was in the poses of disentangling his feet from the sleeping Liger. While Bit was doing this Leena went to the pantry and got two apples. As she left the pantry she saw Bit finish disentangling himself, Leena tossed him one of the apples that he caught easily.
"Will you be ok?" Bit knew that she was referring to what they had talked about last night.
"Yea, I'll be just fine." His voice sounded normal but Leena saw the same sadness and grief in his eyes as last night. "How about you?"
"I'll be alright. Our talk last night helped a lot." They both smiled at this. It was at this point that Doc entered the room yawning and stretching. He headed for the pantry and came out with a bowl of what looked like a steaming bowl of oatmeal. Bit wondered hoe it could be hot before Leena explained.
"We have containers of water that are spelled for hot and cold."
"Cool." Bit said before taking a bite out of the apple in his hand.
As soon as Doc finished his oatmeal Leena showed him the map and told him what Harry had said. As she was telling him this Leon exited his room. He walked over and inspected the map.
"Looks like our first stop will be the Flugal Valley." He said after a moment. Leena looked at him questioningly. "It's very near to Jager Lake."
"Jager Lake?" Bit asked.
"Yea, do you know it?"
"I've never been this far north before but it does sound familiar."
"As I recall it was formed during the meteor shower almost 20 years ago. The lake that was near the crater spilled over into it. It is said that before the water poured in a giant blue sapphire the size of your curled up pet over there could be seen at the bottom, but before anyone could get it the crater was flooded. And it's dangerous to go near the lake because of the Azure Serpent that once lived in the other lake is said to attack anyone who gets to near the water's edge." Doc said thoughtfully. He and Leon continued to discuss the map as Bit and Leena wondered off. Bit and Leena both got books and sat down to read, Bit sat where he had before and Leena sat across from him.
Leena tried to read her book but found that her mind kept wondering back to when she and Bit were on the roof and he had kissed her cheek. Why? Why did that make feel different? She had been kissed by many suitors, even on the same spot as Bit had. But fore some reason his kiss made her feel… good, better than good, better than she had ever felt before. Why? Is it possible that I'm in…?
Leena's thoughts were interrupted when the book she was "reading" was snatched from her hands. She looked up to see Bit looking at the page she had been staring at.
"What did you do that for?" She asked a little angrily.
"I was wondering what u could have been reading that could make you blush as red as an apple." Bit said handing the book back to her. Leena put a hand to her cheek and found it was indeed very hot from blushing. "By the way it stopped raining and we should be heading out at any minute."
"Al… Alright." Leena was a bit flustered by the sudden confrontation of the object of her thoughts. Bit walked over to where Liger was waiting by the door. Leena watched as he opened the door and walked out with Liger by his side, a strange half dazes look on her face.
I think I am, she thought to herself and began to blush again.
I have the next few chapters written in their first draft form. I'm just going to go over them again before posting them. The next one should appear on Friday morning, keep enjoying my fics I know I do.
