Sirine-thwaps Subaru PWEEZE REVIEW! PWEEZE!! I will love you forever! ...Friendly-wise I mean....
CHAPER ONE- THE GREEN GEM
"You say that Tsukasa attacked you, Lady Subaru?"
"I said no such thing, Ginkhan," Subaru retorted angrily as she turned away from her still-loyal guardian.
"But the witnesses said-"
Subaru spun on her heel and glared up at Ginkhan with such a commanding stare that the Knight backpedaled a few steps. "By my word, I was the one whose health is in question, and I say that I am fine! I was not attacked!!" She turned away again and her face returned to its normal calm. "I apologize, Ginkhan- I have been under more stress then I am used to..."
The Knight, always ready to accept an undertaking to help Subaru, immediately fisted a hand. "Let me help you, Lady Subaru!"
Subaru ignored him. As usual. And as usual he continued appealing to her for the rest of her visit to the world.
But her mind was elsewhere...
"...why...are you here...." A pause, an uncomfortable swallow. "...Subaru...?"
"Tsukasa...! You look... older! ...Did you upload a new character skin?"
Silence. "...No."
She moves to sit beside him, dusting off the cold, hard surface of the altar he sits on. "Then why...then how did you-"
A low rumbling sound from everywhere that reminds Subaru of an earthquake begins as Tsukasa's hands slowly clench into fists. "...Leave."
She stops and her eyes widen. "What is it?"
"Just leave."
"Tsukasa-?" She places a gentle hand over his own like she has done so many times before in concern. "Did I do something wrong? What is bothering you?" Tears pool in the corners of her eyes. "You are hurting...please, tell me-"
He bursts into animation, moving away from her with such speed that he leaves no time for her to blink. His gentle features are twisted into a look of hatred, of rage... aimed at her.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!!"
And then the sky fell in.
Subaru let out a cry without knowing it and in an instant Ginkhan's hand was on her shoulder. She waved him away. "I am fine. I just need to go logout now..."
Ginkhan watched her leave, his frown obvious. "...Sometimes, I think you hide things from me, Lady Subaru..." he whispered to himself. "...I shall go and learn myself what happened at the Church of Twilight, if you find it so important that you have to lie about it..."
He turned and headed away towards the server exit.
"Hyup--!"
Ginkhan slung his blade out of its sheath at the familiar cry and showed no surprise as a dark, lithe figure dropped out of a window to land in a crouch in front of him.
Sora straightened in an instant and then bent over double at the waist in a mocking bow. "I saw it aaaaaall," he sang teasingly, winking at the Knight.
Ginkhan growled. "Have you nothing better to do?"
"Ah, I'm offended!"
"Hmmm."
Sora smiled and said, "She is going back to him again, you know this, and you think that she is in danger, hmm??"
Ginkhan glowered and sheathed his sword. "Perhaps." He crossed his arms.
The thief smirked, convinced that he had the Knight's full attention. "My Mistress does not want that to happen, neither do you, neither do I. She gives you this." Sora procured a small emerald the size of a quarter and slipped it under Ginkhan's collar. "Keep it close."
"I do not want your help! I work alone!"
"Then you die alone, you fool." Sora inspected his nails calmly. "Keep it close, or not, whichever you like. I have done my job." With that, he disappeared.
Ginkhan finally plucked the emerald from his person and glared at nothing, weighing pride against practicality.
Soon he was back on his way towards the server exit... with the emerald in his pocket.
Sirine-muhahah!!
