Chapter9."Leaving Tokio with Elliot

The next day was workday, so Zoey had a lot to do in Caffe Mew Mew. It was monday and a lot of people were in Caffe. But all that couldn´t take away Zoeys gloomy mood. Mark went to Kjoto for a whole week and he even didn´t say gootbye to her ... at least not personaly.

„What´s wrong Zoey...?" Bridget was looking over her shoulder, at the table Zoey was cleanig for the past seven minutes.

„I´m alright. I´m just sad."

„That´s exactly what I mean. Come on I think the table is clean by now. Let´s just take a seat for a moment and you tell me what got you so sad."Zoey followed Bridgets lead and sat down. „So what is it Zoey?"

„It´s nothing serious...it´s just because of Mark." Zoey looked around the Caffe as if to find the one she missed, but then looked back at Bridget.

„That sounds pretty serious to me. What did he do?"

„He leaved Tokio for a week and didn´t even say goodbye personaly...but that´s not the point. It´s just that I miss him."

„ But a week isn´t such a long time." Bridget got a deadglare from Zoey and quickly changed her opinion. „But when I think about it the right way..."

„I miss him already..." Bridget felt sorry for Zoey and tried to comfort her as best as she could, dut it didn´t help all that much...

Elliot came downstairs followed by Wesley.

„Zoey could you come with us for a moment?"Zoey followed Elliot and headed to Wesleys laboratory.

„So what´s up Elliot?" Wesly offered Zoey to sit down and set the laptop on her knees. Zoey looked on the screen, where the city map of Osaka was displayed. Some parts of the map were blue pointed. „So what does it have to mean?"Elliot looked over her shoulder and pointed on the blue points.

„Wesley was researching for Blue Aqua and found plenty of it in Osaka."

„And what do I have to do with it?" Wesley took the laptop from her knees and shut it out.

„Well I was hoping you could go with Elliot to Osaka and find some Blue Aqua..."

„To Osaka? How long is it gonna take.?"

„Less than a week." /When I go with Elliot for a week to Osaka, maybe I won´t miss Mark as much as I do now. I mean I´m going to have a lot of work and won´t have such a space for thinking. But when.../

„So Zoey...what do you say?" Zoey didn´t need to think anymore, she would do anything just to forget how alone she now was.

„I´m going to pack my suitcase."

Zoeys parents weren´t happy about the whole idea, but they trusted her better judgment and let her go. So she packed her things and the next day she went to the train station, where she was supossed to meat Elliot.

„I wonder where he is. I just knew we forgot something..."Zoey went across the street and sat down on a bench."I hope we don´t miss the train."

„Don´t worry we have time."Zoey nearly fell off the bench when Elliot appeared above her.

„Oh god Elliot do you need to scare ma like this?"

„No, but it´s fun. Come on."He took Zoeys hand and helped her up.

„So Elliot do you have the tickets?"

„Of course I have."When they found the right train they went for seach of their compartment. The train was really huge but they made it after a while.

„Here you go Zoey."Elliot openned the compartment doors and let Zoey step in first. Zoey looked around the compartment and then sat to the window.

„Nice here."Elliot went after her and took the seat across from her. Zoey fell silent at the point, when the train gathered on speed.

Zoey was observing the city past her window, as she was in deep thoughts. She thought about all the weird things that had happened to her. She was vexed by the thoughts of Dren. Zoey was sorry for him, because after all he did it all becauce he loved and wanted her. Not that she would like him, but she didn´t want to kill him either. She just wanted him to leave her alone and be happy.Now she needed to fear for her life. Deep Blue would take revenge on her for sure. Zoey killed too many of his predacites. Althrought she didn´t show it on the outside, she was pretty afraid of this whole situation. She looked on the ring she got from Elliot. /I wonder what could this small ring do. It doesn´t look very strong. I still don´t know how to use it. And Elliot won´t tell me...oh god what am I gonna do now/ Zoey looked across from her and something missed. /Of course...Elliot´s missing. I was so deep in thoughts I didn´t even notice./ Zoey stood up from her seat and runned out of her compartment, but outside she lyricaly runned into Elliot and landet on the ground.

„What are you doing HERE Elliot?"

„What do you think? I´m making sure everything is ok. Come I´ll help you up." He reached his hand to Zoey and she stood up with his help. But the train braked and Zoey, still holding Elliots hand, was thrown to the ground followed by Elliot. All the compartments started to open and people walked out. Elliot once again helped Zoey to stand.

„I think we´re in Osaka Zoey."

„At last...my butt is starting to hurt."

„I´m not going to make a comment on that."

„How nice from´ya."

When they finally got out of the train, Zoey got curious where they would spend the whole week. Elliot didn´t say a word about the accomodation. She was silently walking after Elliot and didn´t dare to say a word. When Elliot stopped...

„What´s wrong Elliot?"

„Nothing, we´re here." Zoey looked around, but didn´t see anything like a hotel.

„Where here?"

„In front of you."Elliot pointed on a big family house in front of them. It was huge and beautifull and the garden was just breathtaking.

„Wow Elliot...I didn´t knew you were living at such a beautifull place. No wonder you´re complaining in Tokio."

„This was my parents house but since the´re dead it´s my."

„Oh...I´m sorry Elliot. I didn´t knew..."

„It´s ok. Now let´s go in." Elliot took out a key and openned the front door. Zoey stepped after him and couldn´t believe her eyes. Elliot closed the door after her...

You know what I want...
