Chapter Three- New Power
"Subaru! Suba-roomy! Suba-racer!! Suba-"
"Yes, Sora?"
Subaru stared at Sora, who stood yelling in her ear inches away.
"Well, I -was- going to tell you something -important- about someone who was asking about you, but after such rudeness I really don't think I should."
"Good," Ginkhan said, interrupting. "Go away."
"Ah, but he -really- wanted to talk to you," he insisted and ignored the Knight. Subaru did not respond.
Sora fell back a bit, brooding. He had his orders to bring Subaru to the Church of Twilight, to Tsukasa, but she was not cooperating. His employer did not respond well to failure. His mind raced as he tried to think up something to woo her attention.
"...but he is in trouble!" he cried in convincing but fake chagrin. He felt a flash of triumph as Subaru turned on her heel and faced him, while Ginkhan sighed as if to say, 'Here we go again.'
"Tsukasa is in trouble?" she repeated demandingly. She held her arms out to the sides to balance her boat- her sudden movement had sent it rocking from side to side dangerously. "How?"
Sora grinned. "Ah, who said Tsukasa? Not me! You must be psychic!"
The girl scowled. "Get to the point!"
"Na, ma Cherie, not in trouble, but it is a possibility if you do not come to the Church soon to talk him out of it," the assassin stated plainly. He beckoned, holding out a hand to her with a phony smile that was sickening in its fake courteousness.
"Talk him out of what?" Subaru asked as she stared hard at Sora, trying to discern any tricks. She shrugged after a minute and said, "Fine. Let's go, then."
She took Sora's hand and Ginkhan reached for her... but did not get to her in time-Sora and Subaru disappeared, leaving the Knight behind.
