Chapter 3: Dreams and Love
When Cairbre reached the bottom of the stairs he was greeted by Toshi who was waiting eagerly for him.
"This way!!" Toshi was practically shouting in ecstasy of being the one in charge for a change.
"Whoa there lad, I'm not as young as I used to be you know." Cairbre said in an obviously faked exhausted voice.
When they reached the dinning room. Cairbre stopped in his tracks, there were four men that he had never met before seated at the table. When they saw that Cairbre had entered all four men and Domon stood up.
"Umm…" said Cairbre apprehensively. The thought that this might actually be a trick flashed through his mind.
"Cairbre, I would like you to meet my dear friends," Domon said. Pointing to the man to his far left "Cairbre Brogan, meet Argo Gulski."
"Hello." was all Cairbre was able to say to the giant of a man named Argo.
Pointing to the man directly to his left "Chibodee Crocket, meet Cairbre Brogan."
"Hey. Nice to meet you Pal." said Chibodee while holding out his hand.
"Likewise." said Cairbre while taking Chibodee's hand with his unhurt hand.
Pointing to the man directly to his right, "Cairbre, meet Sai Sasshi."
"Hey nice to meet you Bro." said Sai Sasshi in his usual up beat manner.
"Nice to meet you too Bro." said Cairbre.
"And last but certainly not least, George DeSand meet Cairbre Brogan."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Sir Brogan."
"And it is a pleasure to meet you, your highness."
"Well now that you have met everyone, take a seat Cairbre, and we may begin our meal." Said Domon. Up until this point when he actually sat down, Cairbre hadn't noticed that there was food on the table, but when he did see the food, his stomach let out an audible growl. This caused everyone at the table to grin in amusement. And of course Cairbre had the misfortune of sitting next to Aiko when this happened. He must have gone three shades of red.
The meal was an ambrosial experience for Cairbre who hadn't had anything to eat but Haggis and Mutton for weeks.
"Mmmm…This is great!" commented Cairbre between bites of veal cutlets.
"Thank you." said Rain and Aiko.
When the main course was completed a servant brought out the dessert which consisted of cheesecake, cream puffs, and other delicacies. Cairbre ate some of everything, he hadn't realized that his bandage had slipped off of his hand and had revealed his burn. When he had looked up he saw that everyone had stopped eating and was looking at him, well, his hand actually.
"What? What is everybody staring at??" demanded Cairbre in growing anger. Then he noticed his burn was showing clear as a bell. "SHIT!!" was all he said as he sprang up from the table and sprinted to his room.
All six of the adults remaining at the table just looked at each other.
"Aiko, Toshi, please go to your rooms." Rain asked her children.
"Yes mother."
"Okay mommy."
Later That Night
"Damn it, Damn it, Damn it, DAMN IT!!! How could I have been so stupid!!?" Cairbre was scolding himself for his laps in his attention. "Oh well nothing left to do but to get some sleep." But as most things do sleep didn't come easy to Cairbre. When he finally did get to sleep, it was wracked with night terrors.
Dream
"Where am I?"
You are here
"Who are you?"
I have been waiting to come back; it has been so long since I have been allowed to move.
"DAMN IT I ASKED YOU A QUESTION!!! WHO ARE YOU????"
It has been thirty-two years if I remember correctly which I do. I can now live on my own. Without that woman or that man to make me live.
"Then you are????"
Yes.
"Oh my god…."
HA HA HA HA HA
Awakens
Cairbre sat bolt upright in his bed, he was panting hard and covered in sweat. "God, what a nightmare, I need some air." He got out of bed and put his cloak and sword over his bare shoulders without bothering with a shirt.
The night air felt cool against his bare skin. Cairbre walked out to the terrace outside where he first met Domon. When Cairbre reached the edge of the terrace he looked over the edge and saw a water garden This looks like a nice place to try to sort out my dream. In one giant leap Cairbre jumped from the terrace to the water garden (a distance of more than 100 feet down). When he reached the garden he found a nice spot near a waterfall to sit and think. After he sat down and started to get conferrable he heard a noise to his left. It was faint but it was there. Cairbre reached and drew his sword, just in case. He closed his eyes and tried to connect with nature, so that the calming influence would calm him. But he heard the sound again, but this time it was closer and louder. And again he ignored it, until… WHOOOSH! Cairbre spun around as fast as lightning with his sword in hand and pointed at the intruder's throat. But when he saw who it was he immediately dropped his sword and closed his eyes and tried not to burst out in tears. The person he had the sword pointed at was Aiko.
"Oh my god…." was all Cairbre was able to say, due to the fact he burst out crying
"Hey, hey, it's alright I'm okay, you didn't hurt Me." said Aiko in a calming voice.
"I know I didn't hurt you, it's just the fact that I could have killed you just by reflex." he said between sobs.
"But you didn't, and that's all that maters."
"I know. There is something that I want to tell you,"
"What do you want to…?"
But before Aiko could finish her sentence Cairbre grabbed her by her shoulders and pulled her to him and kissed her. At first Aiko was shocked but then she started to kiss him back. They stayed like that for about a minute or two.
When they broke the embrace Cairbre said "No, I shouldn't have done that."
"It's okay, I kissed you back."
Before Cairbre said anything Aiko came and wrapped her arms around Cairbre and kissed him again. Before Cairbre could say anything Aiko started to remove her nightgown. Cairbre offered no objections. Aiko slid out of her nightgown with little effort. Cairbre stepped back and removed his sheathe and cloak. Before he took off his pants he studied Aiko's body. My God she is perfect. Cairbre thought. The nude Aiko ran to Cairbre. The flame of passion burned in both of their hearts.
After a night of passionate night of love, Cairbre woke to the first rays of dawn. He looked over and saw Aiko lying asleep next to him in the soft grass. Cairbre got up trying not wake Aiko; he picked her up and put her on his cloak while he refastened his sword on his back. Cairbre wrapped Aiko in his cloak and took her back to her room. Then Cairbre went back to his room. When he got to his room, he striped off his clothes and got in to the shower. He washed the sweat from the night off of him and cleaning his clothes. When he got out of the shower he went to his wardrobe and chose a pair of green pants and a red shirt both with gold embroidery on the sleeves and cuffs of the pants. The cloak he chose was a dark green with his family's crest stitched in the center of the cloak in red.
He chose his black head band this time. When he looked at his hand he decided not to wrap it. Mainly since everyone had seen his hand the night before. He went to the box of trinkets he carried with him every where he went. He opened it and dug around for a little while until he found what he was looking for. It was a silver necklace that had a blood red ruby set in a silver amulet. I bet Aiko will love this.. Cairbre looked over to the bed side table and saw that it was almost eight o'clock.
Cairbre went into Aiko's room to check on her. She was sound asleep; Cairbre stood in the door and watched her sleep for a few moments before he went downstairs. When he reached the bottom of the stairs he heard what he thought sounded like a television, he went into what appeared to be a living room. He was right, it was a television. Toshi sat with his father watching cartoons.
"I trust you slept well last night." said Domon without looking up.
"Err…Yes." said Cairbre with a little hesitation.
"Was there a problem with your bed?"
"No, that's not it."
"Bad dreams?"
"I don't think that 'bad' is a strong enough word."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No. Where is the hanger?"
"On the east side of the grounds."
"Do you have a place where I can train?"
"Yes, it's about a mile north of the hanger."
"Thanks."
"Do you want a ride to the hanger?"
"No thank you, I would rather walk. I need some time to think."
"Suit yourself." said Domon
I wonder if he knows about me and Aiko? this thought kept Cairbre occupied until he was able to see the hanger. Before he reached the hanger, Cairbre took out the necklace he brought from his room. He held it in his hand; he pictured what Aiko would look like wearing it.
"Hey Cairbre!" called Duncan when he saw him walking up. The sound of Duncan's voice brought him back to reality with a start.
"How's it going?" asked Cairbre.
"Meh, I can't complain. The food is good."
"After having Haggis and Mutton for a few months it is a nice change."
"No kidding," said Duncan with a big grin on his face. "So what brings you out here?"
"I want to work with the Gaeia Gundam," said Cairbre, "Does Gaeia Gundam has a stronger mode?"
"Umm… Hold on I'll check." said Duncan while he went into the hanger and brought out the specs for Gaeia Gundam. "It does."
"Does it have a name?"
"Yes."
"Well."
"It's called Transcendi Mode."
"How strong is it?"
"It gives a major boost to all stats."
"You're dodging the question."
"If you do get to Transcendi mode, you would get a boost that would put all stats off the chart."
"How do I reach Transcendi mode?"
"Only when you reach a completely calm state of mind, then only then can you reach the Transcendi mode."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Good enough for me."
"Where are you going?"
"To try to reach the Transcendi mode."
"Whatever. You want me to go with you?"
"No. Stay here and take care of the gundam. I need to do this alone." and with that last statement Cairbre turned and started to walk to the water garden where he and Aiko had made love the previous night. When Cairbre arrived at the garden, he found the spot where Aiko and he explored each other's bodies. Cairbre lay down on the soft grass, and closed his eyes.
Dream
Welcome back.
"To where?"
I don't know.
"Is this real?"
It is as real as you make it.
"What the hell does that mean?"
If you want it go look for it
"Are you the…"
No
"Then who are you."
Let's just say I'm not your enemy.
"Oh yeah that helps a lot."
It will all make sense soon
"What do you mean?"
You will see.
"DAMN IT, WHAT IS WITH THE ROUNDABOUT ANSWERS?????"
I can't tell you everything yet. But don't worry I will.
"When?"
Soon, but now it is time for you to wake up.
Awakens
Cairbre sat up and looked around. What's up with these dreams? First it was the Dark Gundam. Now it is something that says it is my ally. How can it be my ally when I don't even know what it is?
"CAIRBRE!!! WHERE ARE YOU?" the sound of Aiko calling his name brought him out of his thoughts.
"I'm right here." said Cairbre.
Aiko ran up to Cairbre and kissed him. This made him raise an eyebrow. The she did the most unexpected; she slapped him.
"Hey that hurt." said Cairbre.
"No shit. You big jerk." spat Aiko
"Well, will you tell me why you slapped me?"
"Do you know what time it is?"
"No."
"It is nine in the evening."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"I must have been asleep for a while." Cairbre said with a small grin on his face.
Aiko just looked at him. Then the smallest of smiles started to creep onto her lips. But it didn't stay long because she pressed her lips against his.
