Hello, again guys! I know that this chapter came at lightning speed and I know that you all must be jumping with joy but I have some news to break… I am DISCONTINUING THIS STORY… I know… I know… You guys hate me and would try to talk me out of it but I have decided that I am not going to write this story. I am done! I am sorry and hope you all can forgive me… I am sorry! Goodbye, friends… I will miss you all very much!
SURPRISE! Boom! Bang! I WAS KIDDING! Yup, did I trick you into it? Huh? I know I did! Yea! It was so much fun… Yippee… Okay, sorry you can all breathe! PUT DOWN THOSE EGGS! Don't you know that I am a vegetarian?! Now, I must tell you that why in the world did I ever play this prank or joke? Actually my sister claims that I can't play a prank on anyone to save my life… So… I decided to, you know… play this prank! I am sorry?
Moving on, I would like to thank 'Priya' to tell me that my writing should be given more credit than I give it! 'Kazenostigmafan4ever', as always you rock! I can only say that words will always fail to describe you!
I want to thank someone special, a big round of applause to my reviewer 'esor'. Man, you certainly have won my heart! I mean, you must be really good in judging characters! Even the most closest of the close person, never really understood me in that way… I had always been bad in voicing my words. I can barely console a person… I don't know, when I write I can manage to express myself but when it comes to voicing my words, I think something and I say something else! Because of this, I have lost many friends, if you can call me one capable of! I wish that I someday I can manage to express myself properly… Anyway, ain't I getting sentimental? Ha! Leave it! And how come you can like physics?O.o I mean, physics suck! Who wants to know the velocity of a ball or what is the use of knowing the relative motion of an object with respect to another? And for the record, can you please help me with relative motion? I have understood the concept; I guess but still can't figure out the damn numerical! Look at me, asking a reviewer to explain a concept of physics to me! I mean I am sure that I have lost my mind… Okay, enough mumbling, it was nice to read your review. It felt nice and calming! Thank you! Hey, will it be wrong if I ask from where do you belong or what is your age? I am not flirting but I am very curious and curiosity killed the cat and you definitely don't want me dead, I hope not, otherwise who will continue this story! Anyway, I am 15 almost 16! Dude, I can't believe that I have written such a BIG author's note only for you! You are one lucky person!
Moving on, thanks to all of my other reviewers for their continuous support! I love you all…
DISCLAIMER: I went to the shopkeeper to buy the rights to Kaze No Stigma but he said, he doesn't sell the rights to anything and then we had a big argument on why doesn't he sell any rights… Tired of me, the shopkeeper finally closed his shop and went home, took a dispirin and slept for 12 hours; leaving me banging on the shop and pleading anyone inside to open up and sell me the rights to KNS! Of course no one opened! So, the crux is that I don't own Kaze No Stigma…
Chapter 7: Is Joseph Trustworthy?
PREVIOUSLY:
I and my tears continued running till I reached that same park. I was shocked to see Joseph patiently seated on the bench. He looked up and our eyes met. I don't know what took over me but I ran straight into his arms and burst out crying. He held me without any word and when I finally looked up, my eyes met with his crystal blue ones and I was shocked to see them full of worry, misery, pain and guilt… Guilt? Why, guilt? I was about to ask him when suddenly darkness took over me and the last thing I heard was Joseph whispering an apology to me…
JPOV:
How dare a random guy sneak up on me and break such a heavenly and once in a lifetime moment? C'mon, it has never happened before… Yes, maybe I did let my guards down when Ayano and I kissed but heck that couldn't even be called a kiss… I mean what is it going on? Damn! Wish someone could help me in sorting out all this mess and Ahh! Why is my head paining like hell? Ahhh! Someone please stop it…. My head is going to explode! Someone please stop it! The winds picked up until they were howling like a wolf!
I cringed in pain and was lying on the ground when suddenly a portal opened right in front of me and I was shocked to see Bernhard and Lapis step out in front of me! The pain immediately subsided and after a few minutes I was able to stand back up again.
"Bernhard? Lapis? What are you two doing here? I mean what a lovely surprise!"
"So, Joseph, I believe we have some things to discuss… You were trying to leave us in dust, weren't you?" Bernhard asked, his voice filled with malice
"What do you mean?" I asked with an innocent look
"Don't you dare try to lie to me, Joseph Drew! I know that you have developed feelings for Ayano Kannagi… I am warning you Joseph that girl is a total malice and a roadside loser bitch! She doesn't even deserve to own Enraiha… She is just a weakling and a big slut! You think she holds feelings for you, then you are wrong! Her heart beats for Kazuma Yagami, your sworn enemy! The one who took away your Tsui Ling from you and then left her to die… He will do the same with Ayano! Rape her and then kill her… So, you better not think that you have a chance against him and now, pay heed to my warning Joseph…"
"Shut up, Bernhard! Ayano will never sleep with Kazuma and I will not let Kazuma take advantage of Ayano! And don't you dare touch Ayano cause she is mine and will always remain mine! Now, getting to the deal part… Well, I am sorry but I won't bring Enraiha for you! I won't hurt Ayano in any way and I am sorry but I don't need a replica of Tsui Ling! I couldn't get her when she was alive and I reject her when she is dead but Ayano is alive and warm and fun loving… I want her and I will keep her to myself! So blow up our deal and our friendship ends here Bernhard!"
Look, the lamb now raises his voice like a lion! You don't know what you are getting into, Joseph! But I promise that if it's a war you want then it's a war you will get!"
"We will see, Bernhard!"
"Spend as much time with that weakling of a Kannagi as you can because in the end… She has got only a few counted breaths!"
"I won't let you touch my Ayano, you jerk!"
"You will regret this, Joseph Drew…. You will regret this." Saying this Bernhard and the poker faced Lapis, disappeared into the night sky and the howling winds came to rest…
I sat on the nearby bench with my head in my hands.
What have I done? Bernhard will kill Ayano! I need to tell Ayano the truth… Will she forgive me? Will she ever talk to me again? Am I worth her forgiveness? I need to tell her the truth but not today or this night… I need to take her somewhere else, maybe to my house. Yes, that will do and in the morning I'll make her an elaborate breakfast and then tell her all the stuff.
I was just wondering on this stuff when suddenly I heard Ayano's footsteps. I could feel her emotions in a wreck and when I looked up my doubts were confirmed. She was crying. I quickly stood up and opened my arms. She quickly ran straight into my arms and started crying. I knew she needed rest and using my sleep inducing powers, I made her sleep but I did mutter an apology. The rest of my way home, I hummed a lullaby that my mom played for me every night on our baby piano… She seemed to respond to that lullaby and snuggled more closely to me. An unconscious smile played on my lips and I quickened my footsteps.
After placing her gently on the king sized bed, I swiftly removed my clothes and wore a t-shirt with some pjs. I slept on my oversized couch. Somehow I knew that she wouldn't be pleased to wake up in the morning and find me on her bed. I was just about to get up from the bed when, she snuggled closer to me and let out a deep satisfied sigh. I tried to pry out of her grasp but she had a death grip on me! Knowing that all my efforts were going to be in vain, I lay next to her and dozed off in a dreamless sleep…
The next morning, I woke to someone running their fingers through my hair.
APOV:
I woke up in the morning and was shocked to feel someone lying next to me… My eyes wandered around the room and I didn't recognize the room. I unconsciously felt for my clothes and heaved a sigh when I could feel them on me. I finally, gathered enough courage and turned my head to look at the guy before I murdered him but to my shock, the guy was none other than Joseph! He looked so peaceful when he was asleep… I took a minute to study him carefully and I unintentionally ran my fingers through his hair. I was still running my fingers and studying him when suddenly he spoke up.
"Like what you see?"
I blushed a deep red and turned my head to the other side. Joseph gently turned my face and we both were looking at each other. My crimson colored eyes met his blue colored and I couldn't help but blush a color which was deeper than red, if that was possible.
"Why are you getting so embarrassed?"
"I… Don't…Know?"
"Of course, hey, I am sorry to make you sleep with me the other night… I assure you that nothing cheap or disgraceful happened…"
"You don't need to apologize, Joseph, I know you would do nothing wrong!"
"I am a human, Ayano and mistakes are expected from a human…"
"It's not like that, Joseph… Anyway, what do we have to eat? I am famished!"
"Well, right now I have nothing to offer… Why don't we go to a café or something?"
"Sure! And we will have lots and lots of cakes!" I exclaimed with a clap
Joseph laughed and ruffled my hair. After an hour we headed out towards the café and I ate a lot of cakes and when I had tasted every new cake, we headed towards the park and were sitting on the bench, me licking my ice cream vigorously when suddenly Joseph spoke with a gloomy voice.
"Ayano there is something you should know…"
"What is it Joseph?"
"Ayano, promise you will listen me completely and then say anything…"
"You are saying like you are evil and have decided to now be a good man! Geez man, I will give you my word for it." I said with a joking tone
"Ayano, I worked for Bernhard… I was sent here to steal your Enraiha and that day when you and Kazuma were on a date, I was to take you to someplace alone and then extract your Enraiha out and leave you alone to die… But, I don't know what happened! I just couldn't make myself to kill you and by the time the morning rolled on, I knew that I was in love with you and my doubts were confirmed when we spent some time together afterwards… I met Bernhard tomorrow, and he warned me about your relationship with Kazuma and said I was going for a dead end. He also said that you were a bitch and somewhat hinted that you were a slut or a whore. I protested on his usage of words and he warned me not to get too close with you. I can't live with you, so, I left him. I don't work for him anymore but he will come after you but I promise Ayano that I will protect you with my life! Won't you say something?"
"What is there left to say? I never thought in my wildest of dreams that you were one of Bernhard's drone!"
"It's not like that Ayano… I told you that I don't work for him anymore. Trust me, when I say that I don't!"
"No, Joseph… I don't know if it's the right time or if you are the right person with whom I can discuss issues regarding trust…"
I was going to continue when suddenly my phone started vibrating and it was dad.
"Yeah dad?"
"Ayano, where were you the entire night?"
"I am sorry dad, I was at my friends house but why are you sounding so hysterical?"
"Ayano, it's Kazuma… He is dead!"
I know that I am the person you wanna murder right now! But it is so much fun to leave you all with a cliffy! I am the evil queen but sadly I am not a queen! Geez… You all are leaving to get eggs aren't you? I knew you were!
Anyway, guys I am a very curious person, will you please tell me in your reviews about the languages you can speak? Pleassssseeeeee! I can speak Hindi, Punjabi, English and throw a few words in Japanese but I can't write Japanese. Anyway, What languages can you speak? I will be waiting to hear about that and yea before I forget, have you guys listened to the band- 'The Script?' No? What? Go and listen right now… I mean, I am giving guarantee with warrantee that once you listen to Danny's voice, you will never be able to listen to any other singer's voice! Okay for starting all his songs rock but below is the list of my favorite. Go ahead and take out time to listen to them.
'Six Degrees of Separation
Breakeven
Man who can't be moved
Millionaires
Walk away
If you ever come back
Nothing
For the first time'… and many more….
Please, do listen to them and tell me how you felt about the songs and if you think that you won't be able to explain then just leave the reviewing parts because the most beautiful things in this world can never be expressed just felt!
Hey, I got some beautiful lines for you all, hope you enjoy,
'Why is it that when you have just started loving someone to point of them becoming your life that they choose to walk away without a reasonable explanation?'
And-
'One day Friendship and Love met. Love asked Friendship- Why do you exist if I am there? So Friendship said- "To give a Smile to those eyes in which You leave Tears…"
How were they? Nice? I know! Thanks for reading my story this far…
