Chapter 2: Kuri
He was tall, at least four inches taller than me. His tanned and muscular body was obviously friends with the gym. He had dark, green hair and wore dark sunglasses. Upon entering the café, he removed the sunglasses to reveal stunning eyes that matched his hair. I was drooling.
He glanced casually around the café, and then walked to the bar and took a seat a couple places away from me. I almost died.
He seemed to be looking for someone. As his green eyes searched the café, they fell on me. I blushed several shades of red and hurriedly took a long sip of water through my straw. Or at least, I tried to.
I'd forgotten that I'd already drained my glass, so what I got was a mouthful of air and a little slightly melted ice. I choked, and it was several minutes before I could stop coughing long enough to swallow.
I was completely mortified. To top it off, I heard laughter.
Looking up, I saw that it was the hottie. Great, I thought. I completely humiliate myself in front of this guy, and now he's laughing at me.
"What?" I snapped. He shook his head, amusement in his green eyes, and smirked at me. He actually had the nerve to smirk at me! If his good looks hadn't had me in such a state of shock, I might have slapped him.
He muttered something that sounded vaguely like "human". I raised an eyebrow.
"Care to repeat that little comment?" I asked haughtily, trying to reclaim the pieces of my shattered pride. He grinned.
"All right. I called you a 'pathetic human.'"
I snorted. "What kind of an insult is that?" I challenged. "You're a human, too."
He raised his eyebrows. "I think not," he said with an air of superiority.
Hottie or not, this guy had an ego! I rolled my eyes. All the good- looking ones...
"I didn't catch your name," I said coolly, eyeing him casually. He smirked again.
"That's because I didn't give it to you." I suppressed a sigh of frustration. How thick was this guy? I was trying to flirt with him.
"It's Kuri," he informed me, brushing a lock of deep green hair out of his eyes. That's more like it, I thought.
"I'm Aaralyn," I said, flipping my long hair over my shoulder. My chocolate-brown eyes met his green ones and locked on.
David burst in and laid a newspaper on the counter in front of me. "Here," he said happily. I sighed and glanced at it disinterestedly. Impeccable timing, I thought sarcastically.
"Oh!" said David, just noticing Kuri. "Can I get you anything?" he asked brightly.
Kuri started to say something, but stopped himself and stood up.
"No," he answered, replacing his dark sunglasses. Then he turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" I called. He ignored me and walked quickly out of the café.
"No, you don't," I muttered, slapping some money on the counter to pay for my meal. I grabbed my purse and ran out after him, momentarily forgetting my injured foot.
I had almost caught up with him when my flip-flop slid sideways and I twisted my ankle, much worse than before.
"Ow!" I cried out in pain, and that got him to turn around. Kuri glanced back, saw me, and sighed.
He walked over and helped me to my feet. I winced as I tested my weight on my re-sprained ankle and nearly passed out on Kuri. I grabbed his arm for support.
"What were you doing?" he asked me, an amused smile playing around his lips. I felt like an idiot but answered him truthfully.
"Following you," I replied sheepishly.
"Obviously," he said carelessly, as if he had flocks of girls constantly chasing him. I frowned slightly. His over-confidence was getting annoying. Oh, well.
I smiled sweetly. "Do you think you could help me? I have to get back to my house, and, well, I can't exactly walk..." I trailed off, watching him closely.
Kuri sighed. "Let me see," he said, bending down to examine my ankle. I complied, rolling up the leg of my jeans to allow him to see it. He reached out and touched the swollen part lightly, sending shivers down my back.
Kuri glanced up at me. "What do you want me to do?" he asked. "It's swelling a lot."
I had this worked out. I tried my best to look helpless and innocent. "Maybe you could carry me?" I suggested hopefully.
Kuri snorted. "No," he replied flatly. I glared at him. He hadn't even considered it!
"I suppose I could Heal it," he mused. "I'm sure Rivenke wouldn't mind..."
I stopped sulking, confused. "Heal it?" I asked. "What do you mean?"
Kuri didn't answer; he seemed to be thinking. At last, he grabbed my hand and pulled me up.
"Come on," he said. "Put your arm around me, like this. Lean on me if you have to, but don't put any weight on your foot," he instructed. I was only too happy to comply.
I had no idea where he was taking me, but my ankle was starting to ache a lot, despite my valiant efforts not to use it.
"It would have been easier if you'd carried me," I complained, putting on a pained expression, and faking a huge wince as my foot barely touched the ground. I glanced sideways at Kuri to see if he was buying it. He wasn't.
"If it hurt that bad, you would be crying," he said skeptically. I glared at him.
"I don't cry," I said defensively.
"I'll bet," he muttered almost inaudibly. I looked at him.
"What was that?" I snapped. He turned to face me, catching my arm to keep me from falling.
"Nothing that concerns you," he replied darkly. "Stop with the attitude. I'm helping you, remember?"
I gave him a small smile. "It would still be easier if you carried me," I replied sweetly.
He rolled his eyes. "If it will shut you up," he said. "Put your arms around my neck."
I did, grinning triumphantly. Kuri lifted me easily, and I was in heaven in his strong arms.
We walked---well, Kuri did, anyway--- for a couple of minutes longer, until we came to an abandoned building. It looked like it used to be a department store, or something similar, but its current state of deterioration rendered it unsafe and unusable.
"What's in there?" I asked curiously, trying to peer in.
"Nothing," Kuri replied. "You're going to have to walk now." He lifted me down and set me on my feet. A wave of pain shot through me from my sprained ankle, and I grabbed his arm to remain standing. When the pain had subsided, I glanced at him.
"Why are you taking me into an old and abandoned building?" I asked suspiciously.
"So I can Heal you," he answered, pushing open the rickety wooden door.
"Yeah, sure," I teased, grinning and nudging him playfully. Kuri rolled his eyes and shook his head.
He pushed his sunglasses up onto his head as we entered the dark building. Then he shut the door, leaving us in total blackness.
"Um...it's very dark," I noted, a little nervously.
"Yeah, I noticed," said Kuri sarcastically. I felt him move away from me, and I leaned against the wall for support.
I heard Kuri's deep voice mutter something unintelligible in a low voice, a then a green glow illuminate the darkness.
My jaw dropped when I realized that Kuri was holding the green light. A small orb of pulsing green energy rested in his right hand. He didn't look at all surprised, though.
"How did you do that?" I whispered, awed. Kuri didn't answer me.
