The Darkest of Knights
Chapter 4: No Kaze Sono Buin; NUSUMU!!!! ((Translation at end of chappy))
Cesia barricaded herself into the Inn's bathroom. "YOU CANNOT! I REPEAT, CANNOT MAKE ME EAT THAT SHIT!!!" She cried defensively. Rath sighed from outside the door.
"Okay, I made it taste better this time! I tried it myself!" He coaxed. The door creaked open a little.
"You're lying." She said blatantly. Rath laughed and turned the door to ash.
"Now eat." Cesia growled and snapped at him but quickly jerked the bowl from his hands.
"I hate you." She replied bitterly.
: MEANWHILE:
A thin, clawed hand reached into the window of the female dragon knight's room. The pale hand clutched the wind staff, which had found its place next to the sill. The owner took the staff and it's limb out of the inn room.
: AND BACK TO THE MAIN PLOTLINE...:
Cesia groaned as Rath shoveled the poisonous porridge into her mouth. She looked away from him, forcing food into her cheek.
"I feel much better, thanks." She inserted firmly. Rath smiled innocently. ((A/n: RATH? INNOCENT? ROFLMAO!))
"Alright, It's just such a shame. I used all of Master's expensive herbs and all.... It'd be such a shame for the rest of them to go to waste..." Cesia groaned. Guilt trip.
"FINE!" She caved, "I'll eat the damn muck, just shut up!" Rath grinned.
"I'm gonna take a shower, be out in a bit. Eat up!" He retreated into the bathroom and Cesia emptied the porridge out the window.
"Ew." She confirmed. She made her way over to the dresser when there was another knock at the door. "Who's there?" She demanded, throwing a dress on.
"Me." Kai-stern's familiar voice rang into the room as she opened the door for him. "How have the two of you been?" He asked, eyes sweeping the messy room. Cesia laughed nervously.
"We've kept busy." She confirmed. Kai-stern laughed.
"That I can see. So, does Rath know?" He asked, lowering his voice a little.
"No, I've been careful." Cesia replied darkly. "Contrary to popular belief, I don't need constant supervision." Kai-stern laughed.
"I know, but it's fun to provide it anyway." He winked. "Well. Tell Rath that I stopped by; see you guys back at the Dragon Castle. G'bye." He waved and left, hands in his low-rise pants. Cesia smiled and waved as well, shutting the door behind him. Rath exited the bathroom; a questioning look crossed his face.
"What was that about?" He inquired. Cesia grinned.
"Not gonna tell you. Curiosity killed the cat, ya know." Cesia responded and Rath sneered.
"I'm not a cat." Rath stated clearly, causing Cesia to laugh.
"That's beside the point. Now let's get back to the Dragon Castle, everyone awaits our return." Rath shrugged.
"I guess you're right. Go get your stuff; I'll be waiting outside. And hurry up about it!" Rath nodded and they paid the bill. Cesia ran out of the inn room worriedly.
"The Wind Staff is gone!" She shouted, drawing a stranRath transformed his bell back into a blade with a small smile.
"What are you thinking?" Cesia asked, now in his face. These antics caused Rath to jump back.
"Why do you care?" He retorted.
"Why do you think?" She shot back.
"Can't you answer without a question?" He asked, growing irritated.
"Can't you?" Cesia's comment ended the conversation. Rath continuously shot sidelong glances at the Wind Dragon Knight until she finally caught him.
"HA!" She announced triumphantly. "Why do you keep staring at me?"
"Because you're ugly face stands out." He confirmed, while really thinking about how out of all of the demons he faced, she was the only on who beat him every time. Cesia grumbled unhappily as they continued down the mountain.
"Suicidal Jerk." She murmured, drawing a glare from her fiery companion.
"It's my life to throw away." He protested. ((A/n: It's amazing how they can reach this topic so quickly ;)) Cesia shook her head and stopped walking.
"Did you ever stop to think about the people you leave behind? Or are you just that selfish?" She shot, bringing a downcast look to Rath's face.
"No one would care!" He shouted angrily, returning to his usual self. Cesia let a few tears build up behind her eyes.
"I would." She murmured, but continued walking. Rath had barely heard her, but had. He let out a loud sigh.
"Why do they want us back at the Dragon Castle for anyway?" He asked, changing the subject. Cesia shrugged.
"How the hell am I supposed to know?!" She demanded, growing irritated. Rath glared.
"I was just asking a simple question!" He retorted. Cesia glared back.
"Just shut up for once in your god forsaken life." Rath sneered but did so. They stopped near Misty Valley to camp for the night, in hopes of getting to the Dragon Castle by the next.
Cesia set out blankets as Rath started up a small fire. Rath stared at her.
"I'm gonna go grab a demon for dinner. Don't break yourself." He walked into the bushes and disappeared from view. Cesia sat down next to the fire shivering in the winter breeze. She glanced around at the shadows, which seemed to loom over her. Another quick breeze caught her huddling under the blanket, wishing Rath was still with her. She shot a glance behind her when she heard the bushes rustle only to see a little sacred run off. A sigh escaped her lips.
"God, I'm way too paranoid." She glanced at the crackling flames. They danced before her eyes menacingly and before she realized it, Rath was jerking her awake, shouting in a worried tone.
"CESIA?!" He demanded as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
"Yeah?" She asked wearily, she had dozed off by the fire, which now roared lowly.
"Good, you're alive. I was afraid you'd gone and killed yourself. Anyway, food's ready." He held a leg out to her and she took it, obviously despising it.
"I thought you said food..." She commented, drawing a glare from the Fire Dragon Knight.
"I'm sorry." He muttered coldly. "There aren't real animals around here!" He ordered, bringing a swift nod from her.
"Right, sorry." She responded. They ate in silence and slept with the fire crackling away.
