Chapter Three: Happiness Through A Blue Tinted Lens
Hayami had invited Kino into the house so that they could catch up on old times. He did, of course, have to help Muteo back in.
Muteo blushed as Hayami carried her into the house.
***
Kino sat opposite from Hayami; the two were drinking freshly brewed coffee. Kino's cup had cream and sugar in it; whereas, Hayami preferred his coffee strait and black, without the sweetening.
Hayami set his cup down and looked at Kino. "Tell me, how is rebuilding of Tokyo Harbor doing?" He asked her casually.
Kino sighed and put her cup down. "Things are moving along pretty well, the water lines have actually been receding some, we can now build better shelters then before. It won't just be old slums." Kino finished, taking another drink of her coffee.
"That satellite that those scientists launched is actually working?" Hayami asked her with a smile.
"Yep, it didn't fall back out of the sky like I thought it would." Kino remarked with a smile, chuckling slightly. She looked at Hayami, who smiled earnestly, and then to Muteo, who was sunning herself on a towel spread over the deck.
"Let's just hope that nothing goes wrong wit the satellite." Hayami remarked.
"Knock on wood." Kino replied, smiling at his remark.
***
The two friends talked well into the evening, and it seemed, that the sun was quickly descending into the ocean once more.
Hayami stepped out onto the front door with Kino. The short redhead turned around to face him. "Hayami," She began. "In just one day, I think I learned more than I have in many years. Thank you." She said and then leaned forward and hugged him and then made her way down the steppes.
Kino stopped and turned as she heard another, more delicate feminine voice calling out to her. She turned around to see Muteo propped up on the railing, smiling at her. "Goodbye Ki-No." She called out to her, holding out one of her hands to her and smiling.
Kino smiled at the fish girl and called out a farewell and then bid Hayami goodbye once more and then made her way back down the beach.
For Kino, this was a very strange day, one moment she was angry; the next, she was sitting, drinking coffee with her friend. And, she had also made a new friend in the process.
***
Hayami watched as she disappeared into the distance. He then stepped back into his house and headed towards the deck.
Hayami outside and onto the deck and sat down behind Muteo, rapping his arms around her, resting his head on her shoulder near her head. He encircled himself around, half in affection and half protectively. He then leaned his mouth next to her ear. "I love you." He said, whispering to her. He then kissed the sleek surface of her finned ear.
Muteo squirmed slightly as the feeling of his lips and his warm breath on her ear tickled her soft skin.
Hayami then brought his lips down kissed her on the crook of her neck. After a few moments, he then reached his hands up and massaged her shoulders. Muteo cued as Hayami's strong hands worked the muscles in her shoulders.
Hayami smiled as Muteo closed her eyes and her shoulder slouched down as she completely relaxed herself.
Muteo was in heaven, the feeling that Hayami's gentle ministrations elicited was divine. Muteo lifted up her arm and ran her webbed hand through his dark hair, as if seeking some form of anchoring to keep her from falling totally into a deep trance.
Once Hayami finished, Muteo lade down on her side and smiled contently, her eyes half shut.
Hayami leaned down and met her crimson eyes with his dark brown ones. He smiled and kissed her quickly on the cheek.
After she drifted to sleep, Hayami stood up and walked over to the railing and looked onto the ocean, taking in the fresh sea air and the sounds of the ocean wave crashing against the rocks and sand.
He then turned his gaze towards the land and looked towards the dunes. It was then that he saw something, it looked like a person. Hayami wondered if someone was spying on him. He couldn't make out the figure very well, but he knew it was better to deal with a concern instead of letting it grow out of hand.
He quickly darted back into his house and took out a key from on top of a shelf in the den and then used it to unlock a drawer on a stand near his phone. From within the drawer, he produced a semi automatic pistol. He then took out a clip and inserted it into the chamber and pulled the slide back to load the first 9mm shell into the gun.
Hayami then turned to look towards the deck. "Muteo, stay here." He called out from inside the house. "I'll be back in a little while." He said to her, looking at her though the doorway.
She smiled at him and nodded in response. "Be care-full Hayami." She replied.
Hayami smiled at her as he looked at the concerned expression on her elfish face. He then made his made his way back out of the house.
***
Hayami trudged along through the sand and veered towards the dunes. Hayami stuck his gun into the back of his belt and climbed up the sandy slope, gripping the patches of grass and stray driftwood.
He finally pulled himself up onto the sloped surface of the dunes. The wind was a keen bombardment to his senses.
He pulled out his gun and made his way towards the figure he saw earlier, not bothering to wipe the sand off of his knees.
Hayami looked closely at the spy. It was an older looking man with graying brown hair and a pair of glasses resting on his head, above his eyes. He also wore a rain coat and wore a pair of khaki pants and a black tie hung around his white dress shirt.
He was sitting down, cross legged, in the sand. He had a large metal case full of various observation equipment. He was looking through a pair of high-power binoculars.
Hayami stepped forward and pointed his gun at the man. "Don't move!" He instructed the man coldly.
But, when the man turned around and looked at him in surprise, he set down his binoculars and reached into his coat pocket.
Instinctively, Hayami lunged at the man, tackling him to the ground; sending the object in his hand went flying to the side.
"Wait!" The man said to him.
Hayami stopped struggling with the man. "What?" He asked.
"I mean you no harm." The man pleaded.
Hayami stepped back up, his gun still on the man. "Who are you?" Hayami asked.
The man dusted himself of and spoke up. "I am Dr. John Warlock. My I.D. card will verify that." He said, pointing towards the object in the sand.
Hayami felt rather awkward when he realized that he had tackled he man over an I.D. card. He paced through the sand and picked up the card. After wiping the sand of of the surface, sure enough; it did show that he was telling the truth.
"Why are you here?" Hayami asked, putting his gun away, back into his belt and relaxing slightly. "And why are you spying on me?" He added, eying the man incredulously
Dr. Warlock looked at him quizzically and then spoke up. "I'm not spying on you!" He began. "I'm observing that Muteo that you've been socializing with." He said in a matter of fact tone.
Hayami was taken back by this remark. "Why you want to spy on Muteo?" Hayami asked him, confused.
"Well, Hayami, you see, I'm a marine biologist."
~End of Chapter Three~
Ooh, what does this strange developed entail? And who is this Dr. Warlock and why would he be interested in little Mu-Chan. You'll find out in the next chapter.
