Hi! This is the second chap. of my fanfic. Hope you guys will like it.
Satsuki is a little OOC I suppose. But hey, she's human, so she can't always be so cold and emotionless.
Disclaimer: For the last time, I don't own X. I won't put it up again in the later chappies.
Chap. 2 New Emotions
The only members of the Chi no Ryu that was still under the Diet Building was Satsuki and the former Ten no Ryu, Subaru. The other Chi no Ryu had either went to work or went out for a walk. Satsuki as usual was sitting inside Beast doing technical work and looking up information and data for Kanoe. Just then, Subaru gently walked into the basement, with a lit cigarette in his hand and a distant expression on his face.
Satsuki noticed his arrival and was curious of why he would wander down here.
'Ever since the death of the Sakurazukamori and him coming to the side of the Chi no Ryu to fulfill the Sakurazukamori's last wish, all he done was walk around aimlessly. Never once did he try to destroy a kekkai or hurt his former allies. If he doesn't wish to fight, then why the hell did he even join into this battle.' Satsuki thought to herself as she watches Subaru intently.
'The expression on Kamui that day when he realized I went over to the Chi no Ryu was full of sorrow and the pain of betrayal. I didn't want to hurt him but I can't forget about Seishiro-san. His last wish....' Tear droplets could be seen on Subaru's face, daring to fall down any second now.
He quickly wiped it off hoping no one had notice but it didn't pass Satsuki's sharp eyes. Subaru just sat down on the chair provided in the basement and not long afterwards, he dozed off with his head resting peacefully on his arms that lay on the circular table.
Satsuki watched intently at Subaru's every move and jumped down from Beast quietly after she saw that he had fell asleep. Then she walked over to him stealthily and studied his face carefully.
'He looks so peaceful when he's asleep. It's hard to imagine that he was able to survive through all the hell that descended upon him and still managed to be so kind and innocent.' Suddenly, a cold breeze blew into the basement.
"It's a little chilly here. If he sleeps down here like that he'll catch a cold." With that said, Satsuki walked over to the other side of the shady basement and grabs her jacket and returned to where Subaru was resting.
She gingerly covered his upper body with it and took a seat next to him.
'What am I doing?! Why should I care if he catches a cold or not?' She suddenly thought.
'Maybe you do care?' Another voice in her mind told her.
'I do not.'
'Then why did you bother covering him up with your jacket? Why didn't you just let him get sick?'
'He's a fellow comrade. Besides, it wouldn't do us any good if he become ill.' Satsuki retaliated at the voice.
'Sure.' The voice said, full with sarcasm.
'Shut up.'
'Fine. I leave you alone for now but I'll be back.' With that, the voice disappeared.
"I'm probably just hearing things. Maybe I should relax a little and spend some time away from work." Then she rests her head on her arms and fell asleep as well.
Mean while at the Clamp Campus dormitory, Sorata and Arashi had just finished their homework.
"Where did Yuzuriha and Kamui went? School ended two hours ago and I didn't sense any kekkai being erected or any of the Chi no Ryu's." Sorata said, in an extremely worried voice.
"Do you think something happened to them?" He asked Arashi.
"They're strong enough to protect themselves. There's no need to worry. They'll probably be back soon." Arashi replied while putting her school materials away.
"I suppose you're right."
"We should get the dinner ready for them." She recommended.
"I'll go up and change first. Why don't you decided what we'll cook?" And headed up the stairs with her book bag.
"Let see.... Hmmm..... We ate French cuisine yesterday and Italian the day before.... Sou-ka! We'll make Chinese food today." Sorata exclaimed and start writing all the ingredients he needed.
After Arashi finish changing, they went outside to the supermarket and got all the ingredients. They began walking home and ran into Fumma.
What do you think? Please review.
Also, the reason I wrote that Subaru and Kamui cried a lot in the first and a little of this chap. is because they're human.
There's a Chinese saying that goes like this: (I'll translate it the best I could) "Males do not show tears"
but they're still human beings, and after all the misfortune that happened to them it's logical that they'll cry. Crying is a way to let all the bad things out.
