Ch. 7
Her heart seemed to freeze as she saw that it was not just Brad who had jumped out of that Zoid.
Bit tried his best to look away, but his eyes were already searching for her beauty.
There he saw her once more. Her violet hair now longer past her shoulders and her face gleaming with beauty that had just bloomed out from under its younger covers. Those eyes he had fallen in love with were now sparkly due to the tears that were beginning to form. Her lips softly trembling as she saw him once more.
Bit felt ashamed, he felt pain as if we was him in her place. Which indeed was not very far in his situation. He looked at the Brad remembering he didn't have Liger with him.
"These aren't the images I want to see, Brad," Bit looked away from Leena to ease the pain inside.
The still mercenary chuckled at him "Its your payment, Bit,"
"Maybe you should have just left me back there, I never did ask for your help, you know! I could have gotten out of there sooner or…"
"Or Later, Bit? But what about those bruises all over you, what about the fact that you could have gotten killed and never get to see Leena again?!" her eyes widened as her name was called.
"Exactly, Bit, you would have been a dead man by now, you should be thanking me for what I did"
"For what you did?! You practically brought me more pain! Brad, perhaps you think you can make everything right but you're wrong! My leaving of this team and her love was the worse thing I could have ever wished for,"
Brad placed his hand on his face "You don't know what you're talking about, Cloud, I brought you back to stop the pain not bring more between you two,"
Bit looked at Leena who's face was now full of sadness and tears.
"I broke her heart three years ago, now my being here just brings her more bad memories," Bit lowered his head staring into the ground endlessly until sunset that day.
Leena looked out her room towards where Bit was. Besides Brad's Zoid. His hair blowing with the breeze that came now and then and his face full of words that were endless. His eyes closed as he faced the sunset feeling the wind more.
She sighed as she studied him. She shook her head an looked at him once more except this time remembering what he had done.
"I won't fall in love for you or anyone else ever," she whispered softly to her own self.
Night came and Doc was still not back which was starting to make Leena worried. Jamie had been called by Brad and was now there once more but not really glad since it seemed that even though Bit Cloud was back, the dullness left by him was still there.
Bit looked at the starts remembering the last time he had several years ago. The night when he had that accident.
He shook his head, this was not the time to think of such things. Bit felt alone without Liger and worse with his love so close yet so far from his possession.
"Leena must hate me, I know it. Just by the way she looked at me today, it was like if she was the cold person I had first met when I came to work for The Blitz. Her heart is cold once more and its all my fault," he ran his hands through his hair as he thought of the pain she was experiencing.
Leena didn't sleep that night. She kept sight of Bit. For some reason, she was making sure he didn't leave again. But why?
"I told myself I would not love him nor anyone ever again. My word should mean something at least to me," from the corner of her eye, she noticed a figure walking out of the base.
"No you wont!"
Leena ran downstairs and tackled the figure as she open her mouth to speak.
"Where do you think you're…going?"
Doc looked at her surprised as she got off him.
"Sorry, dad, what are you coming back this late?"
He smiled at his daughter who seemed to have not gotten a drop of sleep.
"I went out to think stuff out. I finally figured we should continue our journey with or without Bit,"
Leena smiled for the first time in several months as she saw her father cheerful expression, but that smile quickly vanished as fast as it had come.
"Bit's back," she said in a cold tone to which her father ignore.
"Are you serious? When? Why?"
Leena shrugged, she didn't want to mention his name nor have to do anything with him.
Sunrise and surprises awaited inside.
Bit hadn't caught any sleep either, but it seem that with all the noise going on downstairs, it was impossible to get any now.
"Come on, guys, Bit's Back," said Doc in a very cheerful voice. Leena didn't mind seeing her own father happy again, but she did mind it being for him.
"Can this get any louder?!"
Everyone stared at Bit who had just came in through the door. His outfit the same as always and his clothes unwrinkled showing that he had probably not even touch the bed which the red eyes he had were adding to.
"Its good to have you back, Bit, now we can…"
"I'm not coming back, Doc, I know you guys want me back but its not going to happen. I know that my presence here is hurting a person that I… care and have love for, but its not the same anymore. I'm sorry," he took one last glance at Leena who seemed to be speechless before heading out the door.
Bit walked among the many people town was occupied with. Everywhere they were showing off Zoid battles. But what the heck, that's life on Zi. He walked into an large shop that sold Zoid parts. He knew who owned it pretty much.
"Hey, Leon," the son of Doc Toros came through the doors the lead to the back warehouse.
"Wow, Bit Cloud… What can I do for you, pal?" Bit laughed. Leon had established this shop after the tournament for the classification of the S class. Just the fact that his family and friends had won, was enough for him and hence he was part of the family, people quickly took the name of Toros into a good reputation thus making a good business.
Bit gave a long whistle as he saw the many modifications Leon had made.
"Looks like you're making a decent leaving here,"
"It couldn't get any better. Hey come back with me, I want to show you something,"
Bit shrugged and followed his friend back.
"Look at this, I just got it in a few moments ago,"
Bit looked at it before noticing something.
"It can't be!"
A/N: Everything seems to be coming along nicely, don't you guys agree? I have some sort of bad news. This might be the last chapter to be submitted in a while. No, I'm still going to keep writing on it, but I may be (Pretty sure) going on vacations from Aug 5th to around Aug 20 something. So you may be stuck with this chapter for a while unless I manage to get the next one up before I leave or get access to a PC where I'm going, if so, then I'll try to submit the next one from there. Will try, but no promises. Anyways, just wanted to inform you guys on that.
Thanks for the great reviews you guys leave me, they just make me cherish my work even more... Laterz
