The Girls All the Bad Guys Want

Episode 2: Unusual Strangers

The dinner is finally finished and mostly everyone scattered through out Airyglyph to enjoy the festival…

That stupid ditz Sophia was hanging around a pen of bunnies whining about how they must be uncomfortable being in there.

Fayt had gone off to compete in a writing contest, which was for children…I don't think that he got the children part.

Nel had gone off with Clair to look at clothes I suppose, but either way they still went off out of my site. Which I for one am happy about.

Maria and Mirage were sitting by a goldfish game where you could scoop out goldfish for a small amount of Fol…

Cliff…Apparently was no where to be seen, at least I hadn't seen him ever since the dinner.

Rodger that pathetic, little perverted maggot was probably off trying to look up Nel or Sophia's skirt or something.

Adray probably followed his daughter…

And why the hell is my replacement following me!

Albel turned around out of annoyance, his black spikey hair waved in the slight wind and his wrapped hair followed. "Why do you continue to follow me, maggot…"

"I just wanted to follow you around, sir…"Angel said while bowing her head.

"So you were planning on stalking me around till I decided to go to my quarters?" Albel said placing a hand on his katana's handle.

"Yes, sir…" Angel said in a monotone voice. "I am sorry for snooping around, my lord. If you would allow me to go on my own path now…" Angel turned to leave just as Albel drew his sword in such a swift movement only a streak of silver and Angel's crimson dyed hair strands falling slowly to the ground were left.

"Don't you dare think that you can stalk me without any consequences!" Albel said as he sheathed his sword.

Angel turned slowly towards Albel before Albel realized that she was at his throat with a sliver dagger drawn from beneath her skirt. "Don't even think about trying anything like that again…" Her short jet black hair swayed slightly as her eyes flashed a burgundy color.

"Gah, get off of me woman." He said as he shoved her away from him, he turned around and rubbed his neck gently as if it were sore.

How in the world was she able to move that quickly without me seeing here move? Maybe I am getting too old for this job…BAH! What am I saying! I am Albel the Wicked, no man, woman, or maggot could stop me in my tracks.

"Shall I leave you know, my lord?" Angel said as she bowed to Albel.

"Accompany me around for tonight." Albel said without thinking at the consequences.

"Are you sure, my lord?" Angel said as she stood up and stared at Albel.

"Just shut up and do as I say, damnit maggot. If you don't shut up I might have to kill you." Albel said as he adjusted his armor around to make it a bit more comfortable for him.

"Yes, of course, my lord." Angel said as he wrapped her arm around his.

Oh god, this night is a night to never remember…Why did I even asked her to accompany me! Idiot! God why are you such an idiot when it comes to women! Shut up just don't do anything else that you will regret later…

"Let's go then…" Albel said turning his head towards the town, his face flushed with confusion and embarrassment.

The two walked into town and checked out several vendors. Angel tended to look at mostly the fans, rings, and dresses, but once in a while a few new pieces of armor. Albel stood to the side carefully watching Angel to see if there was a reason that he could see that she would be picked over him.

"Lord Albel?" Angel paused as she turned too take a look at the knight that was leaning against the wall, she was holding a wedding dress in her right hand. "Is there anything wrong? You haven't said anything ever since you asked me to accompany you."

"No, its nothing." Albel said as he shook his head and turned to look at the people walking by the vendor.

"Hey, Albel!" Cliff walked out of the street and towards the knight. "So how are you handling things and all?"

"What do you want, maggot." Albel said closing his eyes in frustration.

"I just wanted to know man." Cliff said while putting on hand behind his head. "I mean after all you are being replaced, by a woman."

"You were also replaced, but by a little girl remember." Albel said giving Cliff a sly look.

"It was fine with me. Maria seemed to have been able to take care of things much better than I could." Cliff said as he closed his eyes and put his other arm behind his head.

"I'll just be taking those two metal fans over there, as well as this dress." Angel said as she stood at the counter, sneaking a glance at Cliff and Albel.

"The bill will be 150,000 Fol, ma'am." The young man behind the counter said as he went to grab the two fans and the dress from Angel to pack for her.

"Thank you, Kryla-!" Angel said as she slid a bag containing 175,000 Fol towards him and heard Cliff yell.

"SO! You're here too! What a coincidence!" Cliff said as he walked over to Angel. "What are you doing here? Just shopping, annoying Albel, or-"

"She's here with me." Albel said he pushed himself from the wall, his bangs waved in the wind. "Angel, are you ready…If so, then let's move on."

"Right my lord." Angel said as she grabbed the two fans and dress from the young man. "I shall see you tomorrow I guess Kryl-"

"She's with you!" Cliff said as Albel turned to give him a glare.

"Let's go, maggot." Albel said as he walked out of the store and down the street, trying to lose the foolish and very confused Klausian.

"See you around Cliff." Angel said as she ran out of the store and into the snow covered streets of Airyglyph.

The two knights walked further into the festival stopping once in a while to get snacks like dango, meat buns, a slice of apple pie, umeboshi, and slices of deliciously decadent cakes.

Albel continued to pretend as if Angel wasn't really there, and she pretended as if he wasn't really there. Even though they did this, everyone was able to still see them.

"Hey Maria, look over there. You see the new knight that's supposed to take Albel's place? Why is she hanging with him tonight?" Mirage said as she watched Albel and Angel stop at a stand to buy dango.

"What's he doing with her? I thought that he was mad at her for taking his place." Maria said as she turned her head to look.

"Don't know, but maybe their on a date. You should go and check it out. If they aren't, then maybe you could ask Albel if you could cut in and have some private time." Mirage let out a giggle as she turned her head to watch some koi in a small pond that was net to the goldfish pond.

"You sure, okay…Here I go." Maria said as she got up from her seat and started walking towards Albel and Angel who were watching some young bunnies race in a small track.

Nani-Shiyami: Hey everyone. Finished reading it so far? So what do you think that Maria will do? Please R&R thanks.
