Chapter Two
*Grins*
What can I say? I don't do angst. Hehehehe.
--------------------------------------------------------
The next morning....
Schuldich came downstairs, walking into the kitchen.
"Why is it that everyone must congregate in the Küche ((Kitchen)) in the morning? Can't you try the Wohnzimmer? ((Living Room)) The Esszimmer?? ((Dining room))"
"Schuldich-san," Nagi replied carefully, "You know we don't speak Polish."
"ICH BIN NICHT POLNISCH!" (("I AM NOT POLISH!")) He shouted in anger.
"What did I do?" Nagi asked as the now fuming Schuldich took out a cigarette and lit it, still pissed off.
"You said Shuldich was Polish." Crawford said.
"So?" Nagi asked.
"Schuldich is from Germany."
"Oh. Sorry."
Shuldich looked up slightly.
"Sehe ich wie ein Dummkopf aus, Kleiner?"
"What did you say, Schuldich-san? You know I don't speak German."
"I said, 'Do I look like an fool to you, short one?'."
"Umm.... no."
"Good." He said as he took another drag, and looked down again.
"Schuldich-san, if you keep smoking you could get a terrible disease like emphysema or cancer or something and die!"
Schuldich looked back up, but only with his eyes.
"Really, now? In that case..." He said, and removed a second cigarette, lit it, and smoked both at the same time. (Whoa... he's multitalented or something)
Nagi threw his hands in the air.
"Why do you do that? To spite me or something?"
On the outside, Schuldich smirked. On the inside, he thought 'Not to spite you Chibi. To spite myself.' But he continued to torment the young boy until Crawford interrupted. He never tangled with Crawford, because he never wanted to do something that would cause the clairvoyant one to have a vision about Serena and use it against him. He couldn't take any chances.
Across the city of Tokyo...
A telephone rang.
"Hallo? Ja? This is Sandra. Oh? Alright."
The German girl with dark red hair to her mid-back that fell around her shoulders and her arms in what seemed like perfect sections and blue
"Can you please hold? Thank you, Mr. Takatori." (Kaiki, you rule!)
She pressed the hold button and walked out of the living room. She sighed, muttering a curse. She walked to a bedroom door.
She knocked.
Waited.
Walked in.
Then she went over to the adjacent bathroom, and knocked on the door.
"Wer ist da?" (("Who is it?"))
"Sandra."
"Na, was willst du? Ich nehme gerade ein Bad." (("Well, what do you want? I'm taking a bath."))
"Nimmst due in Bad oder wirst du da drinnen reif?" (("Are you taking a bath or becoming ripe in there?"))
"SANDRA!"
"O.K., O.K.! Telefon für dich!" (("Okay, Okay! Telephone for you!"))
The person got up, wrapped a towel around themselves, did a quick dry, drained the tub, and got into a bathrobe.
They walked out of the bathroom and snatched the phone from Sandra.
"Hallo? Mr. Takatori. 20 minutes? You've got to be kidding me."
There was a sigh, followed by "Whatever. I'll be there in 30 minutes. I know you said twenty, but you're on my time. Tschüss!" (("Bye!"))
"Business meeting?"
"Ja, Sandra. With that Arschloch who interrupted my bath." (("Asshole"))
"Oh joy."
20 minutes later...
The person was driving in their Lamborghini to Takatori's office, remembering a phone conversation from last night. Talking with Vater always made me feel better. But last night... I was in the wrong mood. I should call him and apologize to him. He did not deserve me to be so cross.
I remember when I was outside that night...
four years ago...
trying to walk into my house to finish getting ready for my date with Schuldich....
and our house exploded.
My cat and my dog were outside with me. I found out later that the reason the house exploded was because someone lit our house on fire and the fire reached one of the gas chambers of the gas stove. Vater was going to get rid of that for an electric one, the day before it happened.
A piece of shrapnel had hit me in the head as I was trying to get to the house from where I was by the creek. I fell into the creek and was found by tourists. I was in a coma for a few months.
My Vater had been so glad to see me.
When I asked where Schuldich was....
he painfully told me that Schuldich had run away after the trial. He had gone crazy.
Did that make me love him any less?
No.
Of course not.
If anything, I love him all the more that he went insane for me.
If you think that sounds weird, you're entitled to your own opinion. Also, you're probably right anyways.
She parked her car, dressed in a tight black pair of dress slacks, and a nice silk black button down shirt. She handed her keys to the valet.
"You scratch this car, I'll kill you." She coldly informed.
He nodded, scared.
She walked into the building.
She continued through passageways, until she heard voices, then Takatori's voice ordering silence. 'Must be his bodyguards' she thought.
She knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Said a frustrated Takatori Reiji.
She walked in. "Ahh, Ms. Mond. Gentlemen, this is Serena Mond, Ms. Mond, this is Nagi Naoe, Brad Crawford, Farfarello, and Schuldich." She looked to the right of Takatori, and found the man she had been looking for with wide eyes. He was looking at her with wide eyes as well.
She did the only thing a girl in her situation would do.
She muttered "Liebling..."
Before her eyes crossed.....
And she fainted.
*Dream*
She was sitting in class, listening to the Lehrer ((Teacher)) talk about Kaiser Wilhelm II. She sighed, and then was tapped on the shoulder. She looked behind her and saw Sandra. Sandra handed her the letter. It said:
Hallo mein Liebling,
siehst gelangweilt aus. Meine arme gelangweilte Göttin. Was hältst du davon nach der Schule mit mir ins Kino zu gehen und irgendeinen kitschigen Liebesfilm zu sehen? Hast du Lust? Oder wenn nicht, dann könnten wir beide in der Mittagspause runter vom Schulgelände und ins Café gehen?
((Hello my favorite, You seem bored. My poor bored goddess. How about after school we go to the movie theater and watch whatever fluffy romance movie you want? Would you like that? Or if not, you and I could go off-campus during lunch and go to the cafe?))
She giggled, and wrote him back.
Na, Hallo auch, Liebling. Bist du so verzweifelt Zeit mit mir zu verbringen? Ja ja..
((Well hello to you too love. Are you that desparate to spend time with me? I see...))
Nur um dich lächeln zu sehen, meine Göttin.
((Only to see you smile, my Goddess.))
She looked at him, and mouthed 'Sweet talker!'. He gave her an innocent look, wide eyes and all, and pointed at himself as if to say "Me?". She nodded. Then she wrote him back.
Ja, du. Und ich mag die Kinoidee. Wir können den kitschigsten, verrücktesten, dümmsten Liebesfilm den's gibt gucken!
((Yes, you. And I like the movie theater idea. We can watch the fluffiest craziest silliest romance movie there is!))
He read it and frowned. She read what he wrote.
Na großartig. Jetzt sieh dir an, was ich angestellt habe. Ein Versprechen ist ein Versprechen.... auch wenn ich nicht weiß, wie ich das überleben soll.
((Oh great. Now look what I've gone and done. A promise is a promise.... although I don't know how I'll survive this one.))
Du wirst das schon überleben, oder du kriegst keine Spielereien von mir für einen Monat. Das bedeutet kein Küssen, kein Umarmen, keine Dates.
((You will survive it or you will get no play from me at all for a month. That means no kissing, no hugging, no dates.))
His jaw dropped.
Ich liebe dich so sehr. Du bist so reizend. So wundervoll.
((I love you so much. You are so lovely. So wonderful.))
Du weißt, dass ich nur rumgealbert habe.
((You know I was just playing around.))
He was about to write back, when the Lehrer stepped in front of his desk.
"Schuldig, wer war der russische Verwandte von Kaiser Wilhelm dem Zweiten?"
(("Schuldich, who was Kaiser Wilhelm the second's Russian relative?"))
"Zar Nicholas der Zweite von Russland, der, ich glaube, 1917 starb. Das war wegen der Revulotion."
(("Tsar Nicholas the second of Russia who died in 1917 I believe. It was because of the revolution."))
The Lehrer frowned, seeming disgusted, before walking away.
"Übrigens Schuldig, du magst dich für so schlau halten, aber wir werden sehen, wie deine Noten aussehen werden. Nächstes Mal pass auf im Unterricht und hör auf mit deiner kleinen Freundin da drüben Zettelchen zu schreiben."
(("By the way, Sculdich, you may think you are so smart, but we'll see how you do on the finals. Next time pay attention in class and stop passing notes to your little girlfriend over there."))
Sandra leaned over to Serena. "Was für ein Arschloch." (("What an asshole."))
Serena nodded in agreement.
"Gibt es etwas, was ihr mit der Klasse teilen möchtet, meine Damen?"
(("Something you'd like to share with the class, Ladies?"))
"Nein." They both answered. (("No."))
And the lesson continued....
Before the dream faded into nighttime...
When she and Schuldich were dancing to some American song. She knew what the song was, she'd heard it before. He hadn't. Atleast she hadn't known he had until he started singing it in her ear. He could sing so well it turned her legs to jello every time.
"L is for the way you look at me, O is for the only one I see, V is very very extraordinary, E is even more than anyone that you adore, and love is all that I can give to you, love is more than just a game for two, two in love can't make it..."
She sang back to him "Take my heart but please don't break it."
He grinned and continued "Love was made for me and you!" He swung her into a spin, then a dip. He grinned at her.
"Das wurde für uns geschrieben. Ich liebe dich."
(("It was made for me and you. I love you."))
"Ich liebe dich mehr."
(("I love you more."))
And they got into a playful arguement that Serena was winning until Schuldich kissed her in mid-dip just so he'd win.... kinda.
*Zone out of the dream, but the dream is continuing*
Shuldich was carrying her over to his car. He had insisted that she go home with him. Everyone had immediately said no, until he told them she was his fiance. They hadn't believed him until he gave them a good history on her, and her father and mother. Then he'd pulled out his wallet and showed them a bunch of pictures of them together.
"Sir?"
Scheiße! Ich hab mein Auto zu Hause vergessen!
((Shit! I forgot my car at the house!))
"SIR!"
"WHAT?!?!?"
"Are you with that young lady?"
"YES I AM!! WHAT, YOU THINK I'M CARRYING HER FOR MY HEALTH?!?!"
"W-w-w-would you like h-her c-c-c-car brought out?"
Schuldich stopped. "Ja. I would."
Seconds later, an opalescent lavender Lamborghini sped out.
"Here you are, sir." said the valet, handing him the keys.
Schuldich was temporarily shocked, before remembering her father, and quickly getting her into the car, before getting in on the other side. He had no idea how she was alive, but he wasn't going to be a total Dummkopf and let her slip through his fingers.
He started the car, and grabbing her with one arm, holding her to his side by the waist, and kissing the top of her head.
"Du bist für mich zurückgekommen...." (("You came back for me...."))
At his house....
He walked into his bathroom, and grabbed another washcloth. He put cold water on it, rung it out, and walked into his bedroom. There she was, asleep on the bed. She was such a goddess.
He put the washcloth on her forehead. She muttered something that he had to strain to hear.
"Teddybär. Liebling, du bist mein Teddybär, okay?"
(("Teddy bear. Love, you're my teddy bear, okay?"))
He smiled. He leaned down, and whispered "O.K." In her ear. As he was sitting up, he kissed her cheek.
Her eyelids fluttered, and then opened. She looked at him, before her eyes went wide and she gasped.
She screamed. She began punching at him.
He dodged the punches, and bobbed and weaved when she kicked. She kicked again and he grabbed her leg. He gently pushed her other knee so she fell back against the bed. He went to get on her and she rolled out of the way. He moved to get her, and she slipped against the edge of the bed, falling on the floor on her back. He stood over her. She used her feet to scoot herself across the floor to the middle of the room, where she stopped and was breathing hard.
He walked across the room to her.
"Bist du fertig?" He asked her.
(("Are you quite finished?"))
"Nein." She said, swinging her leg, and taking his legs out from under him. He hit the floor on his head, painfully.
"Schmerzlich..." He whispered, holding his head. (("Painful.."))
"Jetzt bin ich fertig." She announced. (("Now I'm finished."))
"Das tat verdammt weh, weißt du das? Ich glaub' du hast meine Sonnenbrille kaputt gemacht." He said.
(("That was very painful, I'll have you know. I think you broke my sunglasses."))
She was still breathing hard. She turned and looked at him.
"Du bist so schwach." (("You are so weak."))
