Chapter 5: Sleepless Nights
"Kaname...we have to get going." It was the next morning and Kaname was still sleeping. They had slept in the room as it was very late when they met. Sosuke slept near the door and Kaname on the bed. Sosuke stood up, groaning at his stiff body and poked the bundle of blankets that was Kaname.
"Wake up!" He said, shaking her more. Finally, Kaname slipped out of the bundle and into the bathroom. Forty minutes later, Sosuke was pounding on the door.
"Chidori? Do you need assistance? We need to move out. Please hurry."
Finally, an hour later than when Sosuke had planned to leave, the couple started to leave.
KNOCK KNOCK
"Yes?" Kaname answered the door, heedless of the fact that she had just smeared greasepaint in her ear. In a second, the "waiter" pushed in a tray of food. He also grabbed Kaname and put a gun to her head.
"Move one inch, Rambo, and the girl gets shot."
Sosuke stepped up, caught off guard. He slid his weapon toward the man and put his hands the air.
"Don't hurt her." He said, sniffling. Kaname frowned. What was he doing? Where was 'Super Sosuke' when she needed him?
The grunt grinned, showing missing teeth, "Course, not. Come on buck-o, move yer ass over here." Sosuke complied and looked at the man with a smirk on his face. "Sure." Sosuke whipped out another gun in the holster on his back. He shot the man, twice, to make sure he was dead. The 'Super Sergeant' grabbed Kaname's arm and pulled her into the closet. He had brought their bags.
"We must go another way."
"No shit, Sherlock." Kaname frowned at Sosuke. "Why are we in a closet then, Sosuke?" Sosuke paused and looked back at Kaname. He then pulled away some of the carpet, revealing a trap door in the ground. "Mithril has used this apartment for years."
Kaname shrugged. As if that would explain anything.
The pair crept silently down the ladder that led behind several apartment's walls and finally into the basement of the apartment building. Sosuke and Kaname left the building by climbing up a different ladder that led into the sewers. Of course, Kaname hadn't been too happy about this choice of action, but it was the only way. The couple walked for a while and Kaname lost track of time.
She looked at Sosuke and memories came flashing back. Hiding in cave during a storm, the beach party, finding out he was really alive... all of these memories had one thing in common: the familiar ache behind her breastbone, the pain at seeing him smile at other girls, and their flirting glances back. But, now, as they walked together, that ache was gone, replaced by nothing. Kaname blinked. Do I still love him? She thought, silently pondering her emotions. Or is it that the thrill of the chase is over? Do I miss the anxiety and angst when he was gone? Do I miss the confusion, the feeling of being unsure of his care, of his feelings? I don't know... She murmured.
"What don't you know?" Sosuke butted into her thoughts.
"Hey! I'm thinking here!" Kaname reacted as an instinct, the flicking motion of her wrist ingrained into her. With a loud slap, the halisen whipped across Sosuke's face and he fell, skidding with the power of her blow. Kaname stepped back, shocked that she had just halisened Sosuke. After all this time....
"Chidori?" Sosuke sat up rubbing his cheek, "I think we need to start over."
Tessa sat in the dark torpedo room of the Danaan. She absentmindedly stroked her silky silver hair. Could she count on Sosuke to save her? His face popped up in her mind's eye. His hair, the curve of his jaw, his smile... "Gosh, I really like him don't I?" Tessa murmured to herself, smiling. Kaname leered at her from her memories, grasping Sosuke's hand in her own.
"Well, that just means, I'll have to steal him back."
