Continuing on.
This chapter is going to focus more on Yuki and Nova. So this is going to be like a small 'flash back' chapter.
I hope it's not to boring... Well time to read!
"Yuki! Yuki, are you here?!"
A three year old child with black hair and red eyes ran through the compound of the Orphanage. He stopped near the tall tree that stood in the middle of a large clearing near the gates. He used the hem of his dark blue shirt to wipe the sweat from his forehead and wiped his small hands on his gray pants.
He and Yuki were playing tag with two other boys in the hall. One had roughly pushed Yuki into the wall and called him a 'crybaby' because he started to cry. One of the care takers came running, hearing Yuki's pained cry. Yuki ran off down the hall after she came.
"N-Nova?" A shaky voice called out.
Nova looked around the yard and spotted a small figure huddled under the shadow of the tree.
"Yuki?" Nova called out as he made his way towards him.
Nova frowned when he reached the crying three year old. His tan shorts were dirty with dirt and rocks and his gray stripped shirt were wet with his tears. The frown depend when Yuki looked up at him.
"Sorry...I-"
"Don't worry about them!" Nova yelled as he took out a handkerchief that one of the caretakers made for him.
He pawed at Yuki's watery eyes gently with the piece of fabric. He then grabbed his small hands and yanked him to his feet.
"Next time, I'll protect you. 'Kay? So don't cry."
Yuki rubbed his eyes and nodded.
[ Present ]
Yuki's eyes widened as Nova patted his head.
"Damn you're slow." Nova joked as ruffled the other teen's hair. Which earned him a growl and glare.
"Hey! What it is that supposed to mean?" Yuki said as he tried to push Nova's hand away.
"And don't treat me like a kid!"
Nova laughed at Yuki. Who pouted and muttered something at the laughing Opast. Nova smiled as he flicked the teen's forehead with his forefinger.
"You tell me to not treat you like a kid yet you behave like one. Make up your mind!"
"Oh shut up."
"Yuki-chan!"
Yuki's eyes widened at the sound of Toko's voice and the sound of many footsteps coming closer. Nova sat completely still next to Yuki.
Yuki looked over his shoulder to see Tsukumo, Toko, and Luka run up to them.
"Whaa!" Yuki let out a startled yelp as Luka grabbed his arm and pulled him away from Nova.
"Who are you?" Luka demanded as he stood in front of Yuki protectively.
Tsukumo summoned his pistol, Knell, and leveled it at Nova.
Toko stood near Yuki. Ready to get him back inside.
"Ah! Wait! He's not an enemy!" Yuki cried out as he grabbed Luka's arm.
"Yuki?"
Nova grunted as he tried to stand up. Only to fall on one knee.
"Damn it..." Nova cursed as he closed his eyes to stop his vision from blurring. He opened them again to find Yuki's hand stretched out to offer him help to stand.
"Lets get you inside." Yuki said as he inched his hand closer.
Nova looked at him for a bout a minute then sighed. He grabbed Yuki's hand and allowed his friend to pull him to his feet.
"It was getting cold out here anyway."
I hope people like this chapter.
Originally, I had made Nova part of the 'Zess' but...
Anyway, I'll see you all soon! Bye!
