Chapter 4 - Reminiscent
Gin watched the skyline quietly as she walked with Lyserg, at night, Doby village was so quiet and deserted during the darkness. "Did you find out your next opponent?" she suddenly piped up, blinking her pale green eyes as she watched him walk beside her.
He nodded, "Yeah...." his voiced had somewhat darkened.
"Who is it?" Gin asked expectantly, she already knew the answer though.
"Team Ren" he responded, looking at her.
"Ren's Team!?" Gin exclaimed almost toppling over as she looked at him. He nodded, "Yeah".
"You know you can't do it Lyserg........they're your friends" Gin tried to reason with him, but by that cold expression on his face, she had pretty much gathered it was futile. She still liked him a lot though, ever since those few weeks in England, and she wasn't one to give up easily.
Lyserg shook his head, "i have a different objective now Gin, i have to get revenge for my family, they chose their paths, i tried to reason with them, get them to see it my way". Gin frowned, pretty much fuming with anger now. "You're so selfish......why should they see it your way?...Yoh and all of us were more than happy to help you, but you turned your back on us Lyserg" she sighed, "i don't even know why i came out here.....".
She began storming off, Nami hovering after her, the ghostly assassin glanced back at Lyserg sympathetically. He sighed and stood still, watching her leave, he knew where she was going, and he wasn't so easy to quit either.
Gin arrived back at the lake, the stars were reflected in the water, along with the ebony coat of the sky. She stared at her reflection in the rippling waters, the only light source was the tiny stars and the path where the king of spirits dwelled.
"That was a tad harsh you know" Nami mumbled, hovering at her side, she could never understand teenagers, especially not girls.
Gin shrugged uncaringly, "yeah, well i feel like a piece of gum on his shoe".
Nami smiled, "oh really, that's not how he sees you i don't think". The ghost faded and disappeared, to reveal another figure standing in the darkness. As a reaction, Gin looked up and poised her dagger towards the figure. "You don't need that" the figure replied.
Gin frowned and lowered the dagger. "Right.....". Lyserg came forwards, into the light, that blindingly white X-laws uniform made her cringe everytime she saw it. "Oh, it's you again". Lyserg smiled, "you know, i feel like we're in some kind of twisted version of Romeo and Juliet".
Gin scoffed, "oh really......and how do we resemble them at all?". He walked towards her, his gaze never lifting, at this point Gin was feeling rather nervous. "Well, i remember when i first saw you....you had ice cream spilt down your shirt, and i had to help you clean it off".
He paused, "and gradually as i found out about you, i realised we were very alike, and i don't think I've ever had that before.....it's cool". Gin raised an eyebrow, smirking, "cool?....did Mr 'I'm so posh' Diethel, just say cool?". He laughed slightly and nodded, "he did".
Gin walked towards him and put her arms around him, hugging him tightly. "You shouldn't be part of the X-laws, there's other options for you, always will be" she whispered softly.
