Chapter eight
Luc's point of view
I stir as the sunlight hitting my eyes, and I immediately pull the cover over my face to block the light, but it was not helping much. I then grab the pillow nearby and burry my head under it. A nice scent touches my nose - a very familiar scent - come from the pillow. Oh yeah, it HER scent, and speaking of her, I better wake up now…BUT I DON'T WANT TO. It take me about fifteen minutes just to sit up, and just as I do so, the door swing opens.
"I though you was still sleeping so I came to wake you up, but that seem not necessary," she playfully said. "Hurry up and get ready already."
"I'm not a child, so don't treat me like one," I said as I give her a look.
"But you look like one right now," she said as she giggles. "But really, how long are you intent to stay in bed? And look at this mess. Do you have to kick everything off the bed? Oh forget it, just hurry up and get out of the bed."
"Yes mother," I said, as I get ready to get out of bed.
"Luc."
"What?"
"Why are you called me 'mother'? I'm not your mother," she said with confuse and lost expression. That phrase of her causes me to trip and fall flat on my face. But her expression is priceless, she look funny and cute. Wait, did I say cute? I mean…what I mean is…I…arrggg…why don't you just accept it. She's cute, too dame cute for her own good.
"Are you okay?"
"Huh?"
"I ask 'are-you-okay'?" she repeats.
"Yeah, why you think I'm not okay?"
"You just fall flat on your face?" she said, remind my condition.
"That was nothing."
"If you said so. If you okay then hurry up gets ready."
Sasarai's point of view
Fifteen minutes later
"Are you done?" I shout from the outside of the room.
Tell me WHY do I have to wait outside for him to change? What wrong with me being in there while he change? Is it a bad thing? Is that how society work out there? And how LONG does it take him to change?
"Do you have to shouts every five minutes?" he said in irritate voice.
"If you didn't take so long just to change."
"Whatever."
"Another whatever. Don't you ever get tire with that word?" I said as I start head down the stair, with him following behind.
"No, why should I. It easy and it fast."
"…"
"Can I ask you something Luc?"
"What?" As usual, a blunt replies.
"Why do I have to outside for you to change?" I ask, I quite curious – I'm quite a curious person.
"Why? Isn't that a stupid question?" he said, but I really don't get it. "……Let me give a advice."
"If you want to get marry in the future, you better behave, NEVER stay in the same room while the other changing, and NEVER ask such questions like you just did."
"That is something I not going to worry. I'm never looks forward to that."
"Never? Don't lie, if you lie you going trip while you walk down the stair. I saw it happened few times with my own eyes."
"Oh yeah, like that really going to happ…ahh," as he said, I trips. I close my eyes waiting for the impact, but it never come. Instead I feel Luc's arm wrap secure around my waist and pull me back against his chest. Somehow I feel safe in his arm.
"See, what did I tell you," he whispers in my ear. I can feel his warm breaths against my skin, it kind off tickling. At the same time I can feel my face getting hot.
"Why I'm blushing?" I think as I touch my cheek.
"It only an accident. I wasn't looking when I walk that's all," I said, "there is no such thing like that can be true," I said, at the same time I turn side way to face him, still in his arm.
"It could. People tense to get nervous when they lie, afraid that the other might be finds out. And when their mind fills with fear, they loose focus of their surrounding, and thing tense to happened in that period of time. Like yourself for example," he said, leans his head closer to mine, or I would said TOO close to mine, until we only about five inches apart.
"Why is he looking at me like that?"
"I…I'm going," I said as I quickly walk away, but at the same time, I was too panic that I forgot that his arm stills around me.
"Huh? Wait…you idiot," he said, but it was too late.
"Waahh…" we both yell as we fall down the stair.
"Oowwiiee!" I groan as my back and head touch the cold floor. At the same time I can feel warm breaths against my face. I open my eyes and realize that Luc's face VERY close to mine, closer than before. He was crouching above me. His eyes were looking straight at mine, his gazes somehow make me feel nervous, and not to mention my heart beats faster whenever he looks at me like that.
Not very long until I find myself gazing at him, his beautiful green eyes. He looks as handsome as the first time I see him, I don't know why I draw to him so much - somehow I just did.
"Can you get off me?" I finally ask.
"Huh…?" it takes him sometime until he realizes what position he in and immediately move away.
"Did I see him blush? He so cute…hehe."
"Sorry," I hear him said softly.
"Why are you apologizing?" I ask confuse. The person suppose to apologize was me, not him. After all, I'm the reason we fall.
"…You don't need to know…arrgg, just forget it," he said as he stand up and continue down to the library.
"He sure is hard to understand. I don't get him at all."
Luc's point of view
"Dame it, I loose my control again. If she have not told me to get off her, I would've…" I think.
"Kiss her? Come on, it only a kiss," another voice inside my head said,
"…………"
"It not likes it gone to kill you."
"Shut up."
"You know you want it too."
"WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE."
"Fine, I will leave you…for now! TATA MY LOVER BOY"
"WHY YOU…WAIT…WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER ARGUING WITH MY INNER SELF? I think I began to go insane…"
"You should've realize that in the beginning LOVER BOY."
"You AGAIN? Go somewhere else to play…you stupid punk."
"If I'm a 'stupid punk', then so are you. I'm you, remember?"
"ARRGGG…Just go away…no reply form my other self …goods ridden."
Sasarai's point of view
"Huh? Have you see Luc come in here?" I ask the trio.
"No, I haven't. Why?" ask Sarah.
"Well, he left ahead of me so he should be here by now."
"There is possibility that he might miss the room. That usually happened whenever he have something on his mind," said Sarah. Good old Sarah, it good thing she understand him well, or else I would have trouble dealing with him.
"Now you know where to get help from whenever you have to deal with him."
"Okay…thanks…"
"You welcome."
Sarah's point of view
"Hey, want to check it out? We might see something good," I said, and then Little Viki and me smirks.
"Viki, you stay here and don't leave the spot okay?" said Little Viki.
"Heh? Why?" Big Viki whines, so childish of her.
"Just do as I said okay?" said Little Viki, but this time more demand.
"Oooohh…okay." Sometime I wonder who is the older, Big Viki or Little Viki. But from what I seen, Little Viki was much more mature and grow up then Big Viki, she too much like a child.
"Come on or we going to loose them." With that we dashes out of the library.
Luc's point of view
"Huh? Where Am I? Did I pass the library?" I said after I take a good look at my surround. I'm no longer inside the tower, but instead I was in the garden. I was about to turn around to go back inside but I hear rustle sound of the bushes and see something moving at the corner of my eyes.
"Who's there?" I shout.
Nothing happened; there was no sound, no movement, and no wind. I look suspicious that the garden then once again turns around to head back into the tower.
As I take one step toward the tower, the rustle sound was heard again. It was heading toward this place in normal walking speed. I somehow feel uneasy for some reason. I gaze intensely at the sound direction, I getting nervous at each step it make. I narrow my eyes as I see the bush ahead moving, where the rustle sound coming from.
Time feel like it stops as I waiting for whatever going to come out of that bush. My heart beating nervously as sweat slowly form on my forehead. The first thing I saw was something look like a dog nose – it has golden fur, then come it head, and the rest of his body. It was the golden wolf, it was one of them…but…his size was…
Pitiful…his size was that of a …normal puppy. I though if it was a pup, it should be at least an adult size of the normal dog…I didn't think it could be THIS small. But once I look into his eyes, I saw his eyes very much like "HIM", that same cruelty…the same characteristics that "HE" have. But I don't think that him…I mean…he's huge compare to…this one. I keep on staring at him as he too gazing dangerous at me.
"Luc, what are you doing?" I voice calls out to me, unmistakable voice of Sasarai.
"Huh? It none of your business," I reply as I turn back looking at her.
"Come on, don't said that…heh? Hehehehe…" she suddenly walk pass me and kneels down in front of me, and extents her hand, calling at puppy wolf toward her.
"Come here," she said as it obediently walks toward her and then she picks him up by the two front legs.
I gaze at her, unblinking, as smile sweetly at that wolf and nuzzles her nose against him. She looks sweet and innocent that way, not to mention childish too.
"Want to hold him?" she asks as she shoves him in front of my face. And did he glaring irritate at me?
"No," I said bluntly.
"Oh come on, he won't bite," she said in rather seductive voice, along with her puppy face.
NO, not puppy face please. I CAN'T stand her puppy face at all.
"Fine, just this one." I guess I have no chance of winning against her puppy face AT ALL.
"Here," she said as she hand the wolf to me, and I swear I heard it growling at me as he gives me one of his death glare.
"Be nice to him Beast," she scolds the wolf.
So this wolf name Beast…waits a freaking minute…BEAST? Don't tell me that this TINY wolf this THAT freaking wolf…
Upon hearing his name, I unconsciously throw him forward…I didn't mean to throw him like that. I guess I kind off afraid of him, after all, he was ONE of the 27 True Runes for God sake.
"Ahhh!" She screams as she hurry catch him in the mid air. Looking at her frantically trying to catch him make me feel really guilty. "What you doing? Throwing him like that? Poor Beast." Watching her worrying over him like that make my blood boils…he just a freaking animal for God sake…and why do I EVEN jealous when he is only an animal?
"What do you expect me to do? Playing with him like you did? If you haven't forgot I ALMOST die twice because of HIM. So it normal for me to act likes that, tch," I said angrily, mostly because of my jealousy, and began to stomps off. I feel something yanks my green robe. I turn back and see Sasarai looks guilty and sad make me feel like a thousand needles stuck into my heart.
"…Sorry," she said softly, "…please don't mad at me. Beast had been with me since I still a child, and I care for him a lot like he did for me."
Please don't cry…please don't cry. I can't stand seeing lady's cry.
…She cries…what I'm supposed to do? I don't know how to make her stop crying, I never comfort anybody before…
"Sorry, I must look like an idiot like this. I just don't like the idea of people not happy with me."
I sign, this going to be tough. "I not mad at you, I just…arg, just forget it. Just let to back to the library okay?"
"Really?" she asks.
"Really, so stop crying," I said as I wipe away her tears.
"Then lets go," he said happily as she get hold of my hand and pulls me along with her.
"You not going to bring him with you are you?" I ask as I glare at him.
"Why not?"
"Forget it."
"Hehehehe."
"What are you laughing about?" I confusedly ask.
"You're strange and mysterious Luc, but that what make you cute," she said as she turn back to look at me, and smile widely at me.
That smile…I never see her smile like that. That smile take my breath away, she really are pretty…
…I'm really have…fall in love…with…Sasarai…
