Chapter IV

Discoveries

Before the sky even showed its night phase, Leena was already asleep. She had a somewhat shock and past out right after seeing Bit's face of laughter. Dreaming, she could not feel his hand upon hers. But vice versa it was different.

"Leena…what is going on between us. A night we are to be lovers, a day shadow strangers of underworlds. We know our secrets , and our secrets are unknown. Yet you defy me by saying words are kept inside me. Why?" Bit closed his eyes trying the best possible to guess his lover and friend's feelings. And in between those thoughts and guesses, he eventually found comfort among her side. Warmth and love was all he required to sleep besides her.

Leena softly stood up and walked into the small kitchen-room place where she prepared herself an early meal while still watching Bit sleep. "I heard you last night," she whispered to herself, "I wish to know what you are and what you have become over the time we shared together and apart. I had always had a thing for you Bit, but after yesterday…I'm afraid now." feeling the falling of her tears beneath her eyes, she too noticed and washed her face awakening the sleeping who she had just confessed to.

The morning was silent till mid-afternoon, "I'm planning to leave tonight," he began, "I'm heading towards Jet-Von then…who knows next." Leena kept her eyes focused on the table, she wanted to yell and scream her mind to him. How she desired to cure the fear inside, the curiosity of the moment and the sake of the future he destined, "Bit, yesterday you scared and brought fear," she paused for a moment as if making adjustments to a following speech, "I think there is something going on with you, mind and body, spirit and heart, Bit, I don't know and shall not guess, but I wish for you to find the answer before I do. Not as threat to fear, but fear to threat, Bit." she stood and placed her dish in the middle stand. Then she walked out the door into the light.

Bit shook his head, "If I knew what was going on, if I knew what was my future and the destiny I'm making, I would say. I would say it to you. I would do it to calm your fears and dreams. Because I love you, Leena. I did since a small child, and I do as a lover and friend. Now you defy my thoughts and actions. What to do?"

Bit placed his head on his crossed arms. The world to him seemed like nothing. Only the image of Leena in his mind was all to see.

"Clear that again?" Dark listened even more carefully this time, "Your mission is advanced as it should not. I therefore place Brad as leader. No further inquires for the moment. Leave in peace." Dark punched the table hard with his fist after ending the transmission. "General, get me Brad and Naomi on the double!"

Brad was eating a small platter of soup which to his taste, was not of good cooking. "Tell me, how much has Bit gained in knowledgeable entries? His series is advanced as it should not be." Naomi just shook her head in agreement, "Bit is now dangerous as feared to become, our only chance is to crash the core." Brad's eyes widened with terror. "You got to be joking! We're still inside this--" Brad turned his attention followed by Naomi's towards the intruder on the door, "Sir Dark requests your full attention at once." Both agents looked at each other and couldn't help the feeling that something was going on as it should not.

"Brad, I've known you since we were small innocent children," Brad chuckled." take the innocent part out and I'll believe you." Both laughed followed in by Naomi, "There are new orders, comrades, our leader has declared new leadership among us." Brad hid the glare he wanted to show. He knew who's turn it was because it had been scheduled. Though Dark didn't know that.

"Brad, you are my friend and my alliance as Naomi, and you are the new one in charge, you are the one to bring the Four Nations together and bring upon new leadership to this distasteful world. I am not in disgrace of myself, but proud of a friend. Of a friend who perhaps is better than myself. A friend who may have most best skills than me but shall never know it." Sir Dark shook his head as he raced and aimed a gun at Brad. "I'm sorry." the fire shot and the body fell. Naomi could only wonder at the moment of the situation.

"Bit, are thou ready to tell me your true plans." Bit shook his head, "What are my plans?! What are they? You treat me like a traitor and run me like a dog. I know you're afraid of thy reasoning of cause, but so am I, and whether I discover what my life is and what my destiny holds, I just want you to know that all my life the only thing to be mentioned for certain in my destiny is you, Leena, just you."

A/N: So what do you guys think, ah? I made my best effort to finish it on time and I also stuck to the short chapter idea. Anyways, I'm gone for a few days, but as soon as I get back, I'll begin on the following one which to now I think will have many answers to hold on its own. Keep reading and remember that your comments are voluntary but appreciated. Later Days…
