CHAPTER 4

Relationship?

She wanted to cry. She was so happy. This boy, no man had defended her and had even succeeded in beating a noble. He had risked his life for her. She was truly thankful. She could only stare in awe and adoration at his well formed and trained body, his orange hair and those deep brown eyes.

He had even gone against his masters wishes, even thought it seemed to only be halfhearted attempts to stop him, just to help her, a very normal and replaceable maid.

"May I know your name?" She finally found the strength to ask. For a second, he looked surprised, than he nodded his head and opened his mouth to speak.

"My name is Ichigo Kurosaki" She almost fell to her knees. His voice was deep and flowing like a river, a beautiful sound. He did not possess the rough voice that she had always associated with males, but it also was certainly not the voice a female would possess. If she had the power to chose, she decided then and there, she would like to listen to him all day, just talking and maybe him looking at her with his deep brown eyes.

"What is yours?" He stopped her fantasies then and there, but she could not find it in herself to regret.

"My name is Siesta, sir." She added uncertainly. She should stay on the saver side. Ichigo gave her a short glance before looking back into the direction of the sky again. She had almost reached out and grabbed his shirt, fearing that he may just disappear. His gaze was far away, somewhere she truly feared was out of her reach and he with it. He for this one second looked transparent. Then his eyes returned looking toward her and she suddenly felt grounded. He was there, he was solid. He was alive and existing.

"You do not need to use the word sir, call me by my name Siesta, we are friends are we not?" He suddenly stated, catching her completely off guard. He gave her a minuscule smile, if the twitch of the corners of his mouth counted as such and the urge overcame her to make him smile even more. He had such a beautiful smile, something that drew one toward him and just wouldn't let them go till they had seen it again. She gave him a bright smile.

"If that is what you wish, I will just do that Ichigo" She found the name weird, but also somehow found it, without really knowing its meaning, fitting. His smile widened a bit and she felt herself swoon. She wished she had something to stop the moment forever, catch his smile and draw it, so it may never disappear, so she would be able to look at it forever.

"What do you do in your free time?" Ichigo suddenly asked.

"Oh I like to read" She stated without mentioning what exactly she was reading. She would probably die from embarrassment if he ever found out. "and you?" She wanted to know more about him, wanted to know more than anyone else. She wanted to be special. She wanted him to think of her as special. At this exact moment she understood. She had fallen in love. She had fallen in love with the gentle/strong/graceful/beautiful/handsome/soul-reaching/protector being before her. He was everything her fantasy had ever thought about a good husband. She just knew that he would, maybe not on a white horse and in a shiny armor or anything like that, come to her rescue if something was to ever happen to her. He would protect her no matter what. His eyes seemed to convey a promise to anyone who was allowed to really look into their deeps that he would protect and cherish them forever till death and maybe even beyond it.

"I like to listen to music" He stated drawing her back to the topic at hand.

"I also like to listen to music, but it is so hard, when music is only played at festivals." She stated, somehow sad that they wouldn't be able to listen to music anytime together.

"Maybe here, but where I come from, you are able to listen to music all the time and wherever you like as long as you have the right means." Her eyes widened and she gasped. What did he mean with that? She watched as he suddenly pulled some kind of box, but strangely formed, out of his pocket and seemed to open it, or more like swing it open? Then suddenly the box seemed to radiate light from a special point and he started to touch something like buttons right below the part where the 'not box' radiated light. She almost screamed when she suddenly heart music coming from the 'not box'. It was weird music, something she had never heard before, but it was entrancing and possessed such beautiful tones, that the instruments she knew of would never be able to produce. She started to sway with the music and suddenly she even heard a voice coming out of the 'not box' which sounded perfectly compatible with the song. She wasn't able to understand the lyrics, but it had such soothing tones that she truly wouldn't care either way. After some minutes the music stopped something that disappointed her for some obvious reasons.

"That was such a beautiful song, how does this thing produce such beautiful music?" She feared he wouldn't answer.

"This is something that in my world is called a cell phone. It can…record and…remember anything that I…want it too. Like I could record your voice and replay it some other times. Or I could take a picture and would be able to look at it anytime I wanted. It also has the function of connecting me with people who also have a cell phone. We can call and speak to each other whenever we want. Expect when the reach is too far, like different worlds or dimensions for example." She was jealous of anyone who possessed a cell phone. She wanted to also be connected with Ichigo.

"Do you want to hear some other songs?" He finally asked, breaking her out of her inner rant. For now she had Ichigo right next to her and was able to talk with him without this cell phone. For now that was good enough, even thought she would later ask Ichigo if she could have one as well. She nodded her head as a confirmation and another song started. That continued for some time, one song would end and the next would start right away.

For ones she was not jealous of the nobles who were eating in the hall. It was quite, no one would disturb them right now, the nobles all having gathered in the eating hall. Ichigo had come and eating with the servants, something that had surprised not only her but the rest of the staff as well. This man did not seem to care that they were commoners and treated them like everyone else. He didn't seem to differentiate between status and classes, but he seemed to judge the people without prejudice, only looking at them and creating his own opinion of every last one of them. Another aspect she had fallen in love with. He would not care if she was commoner and noble, he would accept her like she was and she would be able to talk to him even without any title or status. He would give them all equal changes.

It was when his 'master' called that the music stopped and Ichigo stood up. He gave her a short bow, thanked her for her time and gave her one last small smile, before he moved away. The noble girl had already started walking toward them and now stood before him with a contemplating look. Siesta heard as the noble girl told Ichigo that they would go to town together in search of a sword. Ichigo gave short nods, showing his understanding, even thought he didn't seem to quiet get why he needed a sword when he already had one, the one he was right now looking at out of the corner of his eyes. Still he nodded and Siesta somehow had the feeling that he was, not making fun of the noble, but enduring her weird quirks, like she would do when her little brother wanted something.

Maybe he had a brother or a sister or more himself?! She really wished they would have more time. She still wanted to still learn much more about the enigma named Ichigo. And maybe, just maybe, she would someday understand the man standing before her and then she would propose. They didn't need to be rich, only happy and they would start a family and maybe even own a small business themselves.

She knew she was head over heels in love.

Do you think that I got the Characters of the different people right? I really do hope so

Sorry that it didn't really have much story in it, but I still hope you liked it.
