Chapter 5
In Between
It had been several months since Sorata saved Arashi. Winter was approaching and their hasn't been an attack from the Dragons of Earth since that day, so the Seals decided to make the most of this calm.
Arashi sat in the Imonoyama mansion's library studying for school. After all, all because they had to try to save earth doesn't mean that they didn't have to do homework.
"You know, you always look like your mad." the jovial voice of Sorata came from behind her.
"I was just thinking…because unlike you, I study."
Sorata chuckled lightly. He pulled out a chair and sat down next to her.
"True."
Arashi gave an exasperated sigh and turned back to her homework. The library became ungodly silent and the only sound was Arashi's pencil working against the paper. She tried to ignore it, but she could feel his eyes on her.
'Why is he staring at me?'
Trying her hardest not to look at him, she started trying to do her work again. But since he came in the room, she hadn't finished one problem, or read one word.
"Sorata would you stop doing that." she snapped.
"I can't help it! Your so beautiful!"
'He's so unoriginal…' she rolled her eyes.
"Sorata I mean it…" she threatened.
"Ok, ok." he said putting his hands up.
5 minutes of peacefulness went by, but of course was soon interrupted by Sorata. He started lightly tapping his knee's against Arashi's. Her face turned bright red and the lead of her pencil snapped.
"S-Sorata…Stop it!"
She pinched his arm hard and he wailed in pain. Sorata animatedly fell backward off his chair. Arashi huffed out off the library.
"Arashi, your love for me hurts!" he called after her.
He lay in the same position for a long while reminiscing the scene.
Daisuke was in a bind. His childhood destiny of protecting Hinito at all costs was being slightly overshadowed by his feelings, old or new he couldn't tell yet, for Arashi.
Daisuke left the Diet Building reluctantly. He didn't want to leave Hinito without any answers. She seemed tense when they talked. He squinted at the sunlight that poured into his eyes.
"I shouldn't think about this so much. Fate has something in store for me. I just have to let it happen." he said to himself and continued back home.
The sun was setting when he got to the alley way that was a shortcut. But in the alley way in was dark…pitch dark. Daisuke stopped, as sensed something wrong.
"Who's there?" he called into the empty space.
"I am here to grant your wish."
AN: This is kind of an inter-chapter. Hopefully I'll be updating more when school's out, but I just felt like I needed to get at least something done. Lol. Bear with me! Thanx!
