Chapter 10

Little One's Adventure

..Ve..g

..R..il.

"Vergil!"

I woke up to see a smiling Maxine, and she was trying to wake me up.

"Good morning!" Maxine happily said.

"Good morning." I answer.

After I got up from my bed, Maxine kiss me on cheek without warning, and it caught me off guard with the sudden kiss.

"Maxine, what are you doing?" I ask.

"Well, we're a couple now, and I wanted to do this." Maxine smile.

A couple huh?..Of course, Christmas, and the new year's eve, those day felt like a dream to me. Now, Maxine, and I are a couple, this is the first time I loved someone this much, but..I'm also a selfish person too.

"Then, please tell me when you're going to do that." I smile.

"Of course!" Maxine answer.

"Is everyone awake now?" I ask.

"I'm not sure yet, but we must be ready either way." Maxine said.

Me, and Maxine fix ourselves, before heading out to meet the other, but Maxine was nervous, and playing with her hands.

"Ummm..Vergil, can I ask you something?" Maxine nervously said.

"Sure, anything." I answer.

"Well..you see..I want you, and me…to.." Maxine muttered.

"To do what?" I wonder.

"I really want to h-hold your hand, and walk together like a true couple." Maxine blush.

"Huh?"

"…." Maxine was silence, and I sigh.

"To tell you the truth, I don't know anything about love, and you are my first girlfriend." I explain.

"R-Really!? That make me so happy! You're also my first as well." Maxine smile.

"I see, then we will learn from each other, one step at a time." I said.

I extend my right arm toward her, and she just stared at my hand for a second before smiling, and hold each other hand. It was rather embarrassment for me, since I didn't experience something like this.

"Are you blushing?" Maxine happily ask.

"No, anyway let just meet the other." We left, while Maxine giggling.

We walk in the hallways together, we enter the living where we always meet, and I see something I didn't expect from them. Kuro, and Romana holding hand like a couple, just like us.

"And here I thought we were the only couple in this group." I said.

Romana look at us with surprise, and Kuro was embarrassed with us looking at him.

"Vergil!?" Romana said with shock.

"Awww, you two look good together, congratulations." Maxine happily said.

"Oh..umm..thank you." Kuro said.

"I'm surprise to see you with Vergil." Romana said.

"What that suppose to mean?" I ask.

"I love him, and I know you love Kuro." Maxine said with confidence.

"Huh!?...well..that's true.." Romana said with embarrassment.

"Did you confessed your love for each other on top of the hill too?" I ask.

"That's true." Kuro answer.

Jude enter the room with the kids, and he was shocked to see us holding hand with our girlfriend. The kids began mumbling at each other, and surprise as well.

"Am I..dreaming?" Jude said.

"You're awake Jude, this is real." I said.

"How did this happen!?" Jude ask.

"New year's eve." Romana answer with a smile.

"I leave for a day, and this happen while I'm gone…I need to lay down to think.." Jude sit in the couch, and think.

K. Maxine approach us with curiosity on her eyes, and a big smile showing on her face.

"Is that my future husband?" K. Maxine smile.

I was shocked to hear this from Maxine younger self.

"Yes, so look forward to it." Maxine respond.

"Do you know what a husband is?" Kuro ask.

"Yeah! Is the person that I want to make lots of baby with, right?" K. Romana innocent smile was shown.

"Technically, you're correct." I said.

As I said that, I got a glare from Romana, and a sigh from Kuro.

"Vergil! You can just agree with K. Maxine, and also you can't talk with little kids about such heavy subject." Romana said.

"And here I thought you were smart than that." Kuro added.

"Fools! I study such subject, and the main purpose for marry couple is to mate." I answer.

"Please stop Vergil..it's embarrassing." Maxine blush.

"Why? Don't you want to have children one day?" I ask.

"Well…yeah, but.." Maxine nervously said.

"Enough! K. Maxine shouldn't ask questions about "that" and Vergil should remain silence on that subject." Romana said.

"Fine." I sigh.

"Okay…" K. Maxine sounded disappointed.

Clap! Clap!

We all heard clap to get our attention, and the source of the clap was Lyssyth.

"It's good to see everyone enjoying each other company." Lyssyth smile.

"Maybe you have it wrong." Kuro said.

"Either way, I need the you all, but the kids to come with me." Lyssyth said.

"Why?" Jude join the conversation.

"Please..it's a favor rather than an event.." Lyssyth said sadly.

K. Vergil

My older self was thinking on Lyssyth request, and he noticed his companions willing to help her. He sigh, because he know what must be done.

"I guess we can help." Older Vergil said.

"Thank you!" O. Maxine happily said.

"That's our kind leader." O. Romana said.

"Enough…so what's the favor?" O. Vergil ask.

"Well…I'd like to keep it private from the children, so.." Lyssyth nervously said.

"Why?" I ask curiously.

"Yeah! We demand to know!" Romana said.

"Children, this is a private matter between grown-up." Lyssyth explain.

"That's not fair." Kuro said with anger.

"Maybe, this is for the best." Jude said.

O. Maxine approach me with a smile, and I took a step back.

"What is it?" I ask.

"I want you to listen to reason, and I also want you to take care of my younger self for me, please." O. Maxine explain.

Why do I need to? This people are complete stranger to me..

I felt someone grabbing my hand, and pulling it to get my attention. I turn to see Maxine holding my hand like both of our older self.

"Don't you love me? They love each other deeply, so we must love each other too." Maxine smile.

"No, we don't have anything in common, and we didn't experience what they went through." I answer.

"That's correct, forcing something like this is rather ludicrous." O. Vergil said.

"Vergil, but i-" O. Maxine spoke, but O. Vergil cut her off.

"But!..one day you will see it too." he said it with a small smile in his face.

"…"

"Everyone, please get along, and I want the older team to follow me." Lyssyth said as she walk away with the rest following her outside.

"So, what to we do now?" Kuro ask.

"Hmmm…Oh, I know!" Romana said with excitement.

"You got something?" Jude ask.

"Why don't we play in the park!" Romana answer.

"Oh! The park we saw when we were with Jude, right?" Maxine said.

"Yeah, Let's go!" Kuro happily said, and lead them toward the park.

Maxine noticed me not reacting to this ridiculous plan, and approach me more carefully this time.

"A-Are you coming with us?" Maxine ask nervously.

"Why?" I ask.

"Huh?"

"Why do you all act like fools with one another, believing like you're old friends, but in reality, you are complete stranger to one another." I explain.

"But, They ar-"

"They are them, but we are us, our meeting was just a failure from the very beginning." I said with anger on my voice.

"But! But!" Maxine try to have a reason, but fail.

"We may come from a different time line entirely, I wouldn't be surprised if you fell in love with Kuro, or Jude, I don'-"

Suddenly, a pain interrupted my explanation, and it was coming from my cheek, but the most shocking part is that Maxine slap me.

"You idiot! I love you! Not Kuro or Jude! I love only you!" Maxine cry, and said it with anger.

"…"

I should be angry at her, but…I feel like I did something terrible for making a girl cry..what is this feeling..

I her Maxine sobbing, and it made me regret my decision, so I extend my right hand toward her.

"Let's hold hand." I said.

"O..okay." She sobbed.

We hold hand, and her sobbing slowly went away as we keep each other company.

"I'm sorry.." I muttered.

"It's..okay..let's meet the others." Maxine said, and stop with her sobbing.

"Okay." I answer.

We walk together, hand-in-hand toward the park where everyone is waiting for us. As we arrive there, Romana immediately noticed Maxine tear trail from her face, and approach me with anger.

"Why did you to my best friend!" Romana scream out with anger.

Romana grab me from my collar, and we stared at each others with anger. Jude was getting nervous for seeing us like this.

"Romana, please release him." Maxine said.

"Then, why are you crying?" Romana said while still holding me.

"Because…oh! Because, he promised that one day, we will marry." Maxine happily said.

Me, and Romana were shock to hear that from Maxine, so we just stared at her while she smile at us.

"Oh.. I see, I'm sorry Vergil." Romana apologize.

"…"

Romana went back to Kuro as they swing in their swing set together, and I was wondering on a couple of things.

Is love really important? Love is just a feeling coming with in the brain, and not something worth experiencing..and yet..

Kuro, and Romana are the embodiment of what a couple truly are..am I lacking on something..me? The perfect human..

"I'm sorry for lying to you, and Romana." Romana said sadly.

"Don't worry about it, let's just spend some time here." I answer.

I sat down in the chair to watch everyone on what they're doing, Jude was playing in the sandbox, and Maxine was sliding on the slide. Kuro was playing tag with Romana, I closed my eye to think deeply.

Isn't our meeting dangerous, and could change the time line, because of this early meeting?...I do wonder, if we will meet again, and-

"Vergil.."

I hear Maxine crying muttering, and I open my eye to see two teen monster very close to Maxine. One look like a spinosaurus, and the other one is Deinonychus. I all ready knew both of them were bad news for everyone here.

"Hello little girl." Spinosaurus smile.

"Do you want to come with us?" Deinonychus spoke.

Jude saw what does two monster were doing, and approach them without any weapon in hand.

"What are you two doing, mister?" Jude ask.

Both of them turn around, and gave Jude an anger glare, as if bothering them with their plans. Kuro, and Romana caught on what's going on with those two guys.

"Stay back, kid." Deinonychus said.

"We don't want to hurt little kids." Spinosaurus grin.

"You're bothering my friend, so back off pal." Kuro said.

"Yeah! Leave us alone!" Romana said with anger.

The Deinonychus grab Jude, and Romana by the neck collar, and they both throw punches, but it was too far for them to hit him.

"You two must go back to your parents, before yo-"

Kuro kick the Deinonychus in the "weak" spot, and kneel down with pain, while releasing Jude, and Romana from his grasp.

"Damm…You! Kid!" Deinonychus scream out with anger, and pain.

The Spinosaurus quickly grab Maxine, and try to ran away from the park.

What a bothersome people.

I quickly catch up to him, and stood on his way, I was confused on the quick reaction.

Why did my body move so suddenly? Is this her doing?

"Leave her, and just walk away..or else!" I glare at him.

The Spinosaurus was nervous, and went back to the other exit, but Jude stood his way.

"Why don't we play safe, and not use violence, okay" Jude ask.

"Move! You're on my way!" Spinosaurus scream out.

I rush at him from behind, while Kuro follow next to me. We both jump on the air together in sync.

"That was-"

"-A distraction."

Both of us aim toward his head, and was knock out due to our force of our kick. Maxine approach me to hug me with tears on her eyes.

"Vergil…I-I was so..so scared." Maxine said while crying.

"It's all right now, you're safe now." I comfort her.

"You better run kids..we're going to tell our boss about this." Spinosaurus said, before leaving with his partner through the park exit.

"This place is no longer safe for us." I said.

"I agree, let's head back to Lyssyth's mansion." Kuro suggest.

We all left the park for the safety of the girls, and arrive in the mansion, but nobody was here yet.

"I due wonder why they're taking their sweet time." Romana pout.

"Come on Romana, let's wait for them here." Kuro calm her down.

"All right, I'll do it just for you." Romana blush.

"Yeah! I agree." Jude happily said.

I really envy those two..acting like a perfect couple..for me to lack on something so trivial like love.
