Noah sighs as he sits on his bed. It had been a long day. A very long day. All he wanted to do now was lie down and rest. "Noah-sama!" Gopher calls out as he enters the room. Noah frowns slightly, irritated that he is bothered by his pesky minion. "What is it, Gopher?" Gopher runs to him with a smile as he holds out a card. ""It's a gift for you, Noah-sama!" Noah smiles weakly as he takes the card. "Oh…um…thanks…now could you please leave?"
Gopher's smile leaves his face. "You aren't going to read it?" Noah waves him off. "I will. Later. Just leave me alone right now, Gopher." Gopher looks down, saddened by his words but nods slowly and walks out, closing the door. Noah mutters to himself as he proceeds to lie down in his bed. Just then, a knock is heard on his door. Noah quickly sits up and groans in utter disbelief that it was this difficult to have time alone. As the door opens, Noah sees that it is Justin Law who enters. In a rather annoyed tone, Noah says, "What do you want?"
"My apologies for bothering you mister Noah. It's just that earlier you said you wanted to talk to me about something." Noah turns away from Justin and lies down. "Forget about it. I'll tell you later." Justin gives a slight nod and bows before turning away. "Very well. I shall be on my way then." All of a sudden, Noah quickly turned around to utter a single word, "Wait." Justin turns back to face the dark skinned man. "Yes?"
Noah removes his hat and runs his hands along his hair rather irritably. "Look, I'm sorry if right now I'm not in my best mood. I just really need some rest. Please go apologize to Gopher for me. I think he's pretty upset." Justin smiles and nods. "Of course, mister Noah."
"One more thing, Justin." The blonde priest tilts his head slightly to the left, seeing Noah's serious face. "What is it, mister Noah?" Noah narrows his eyes. "Keep an eye on Giriko for me. He's been acting a lot more hot headed than usual. Can't have any rebellious allies, understand?" Justin gives a slight nod of approval. "Yes I understand. I'll keep an eye on him." Noah puts his hat back on and lies back down. "Good. That will be all." Justin turns and walks away from the room, closing the door behind him. Finally, I'm alone and I can rest Noah thinks to himself as he closes his eyes. But he didn't get any rest. He couldn't sleep. Why? Why the hell can't I sleep! Noah sits up and furiously looks around, annoyed that he couldn't get any rest. As Noah listened, there was nothing but silence through the rest of the hideout. Are the others already asleep? God damn it! Noah snarls and smacks his head with the palm of his hand.
Hours go by and Noah was still awake. He curses as he takes off his hat and throws it to the corner of the room. Just then he remembered Gopher's card. Noah stands up and goes over to his trash can to take the card out. He had thrown away the card without notice but now that he couldn't sleep, he figured he might as well read it. He looked at the front of the card to see a drawing. The drawing was of Noah smiling and holding Gopher's hand. As Noah opens the card, he reads the message that is written on it: I am forever grateful for everything you have done for me, Noah-sama! I will continue to do everything you tell me and will never leave your side! One day I hope to be part of your collection! With love; Gopher
Noah gives a slight shudder, creeped out about how Gopher wanted to be part of his collection. "Yeesh…"
He tosses the card aside and turns to his bed when he sees something in his window. A figure was standing right outside his window. As he cautiously approaches the window, his eyes widen. "Medusa!" The witch smiles at him with her arms crossed. Noah opens the window, allowing her to enter. "What are you doing here? I thought I told you that you can't come!" Medusa smirks and puts her hands on her hips. "I decided to disobey you and do as I please." Noah raises his brow. "What's this all about? What happened to the nervous witch that I knew yesterday?"
Medusa smiles seductively. "That was my first time so of course I was nervous. But don't take me too lightly. Now that I know what it's like, I won't play the innocent, submissive girl." Noah sighs. "Alright…but you still can't be here. If the others find out you're here they'll flip out." Medusa ignores him and wraps her arms around his neck. "Why so worried about them? You seem so stressed…maybe I can help you…" With those words, Noah feels her press her lips against his and kiss him passionately. Noah closes his eyes and slowly puts his arms around her waist as he kisses back. Medusa grins and lightly licks his lips. "Why don't you show me your bed…?"
Noah turns to look at his bed and then back at Medusa. "I'm not sure if that's a good idea…I mean, we're kinda screwed if the others hear…" Medusa ignores his words and holds his arm, heading towards his bed. "Come on, Noah…I thought you enjoyed having good sex…and wasn't I the one who gave you the best sex ever?" Noah nods slowly, not denying that fact. Medusa slowly climbs on his bed and looks back at Noah, smirking. Noah blushes slightly and stares at her nervously. Medusa licks her lips and awaits Noah to come on her. Still unsure if he should do this, Noah hesitates before climbing on top of Medusa and looking at her. She smiles at him and puts her hands on his chest. Noah puts his hands on her wrists as he kisses her deeply, hoping his group wasn't awake. As they both kiss, Noah slips his tongue into Medusa's mouth, causing her to moan. Noah shuts his eyes tightly and grasps her breasts. Medusa gasps and blushes as she feels Noah's hands on her. Noah massages her breasts and continues to kiss Medusa as she tilts her head back in ecstasy and moans.
What Noah and Medusa didn't seem to notice was the door of the room slightly open. They didn't see Gopher peeking in through the door, his jaw hung open as he saw Noah with the witch on his bed. Gopher bites his lower lip and backs away from the door, his eyes filled with tears. He quickly leaves and it isn't until he is far enough that he begins to quietly sob.
Noah slowly leaves Medusa's lips and turns towards the door. Medusa also looks to the door then back at Noah. "Is something wrong?" Noah shakes his head. "I thought I heard something…"
The next day, Giriko pounds on Gopher's door, growling for him to come out. "Breakfast is ready, runt! Come out already!" Gopher was sitting up in his bed, looking down. He was still thinking about last night. About what he saw. Noah-sama was with someone…but who? Who was that lady?
Giriko interrupts Gopher's thoughts by kicking down his door. "I said come out! Answer when I call for you, would ya?" Gopher jumps a bit, startled from Giriko's abrupt entrance. "Y-Yes…sorry…" Giriko crosses his arms and frowns at Gopher. "The damned priest is already at the table. You go get the boss and we'll get started." Gopher freezes at these words. "M-Me? You want me to get Noah-sama?" Giriko sneers and gives a nod. "Well duh! Who else am I talking about! Go get the boss! Don't you like talking to him anyway?" Gopher avoids Giriko's eyes and stands up. "Okay…I'll go get Noah-sama…" As Giriko leaves, Gopher gulps and shivers.
Gopher slowly walks to Noah's room and stops behind his door. What do I do? Do I pretend I never saw? Would he be mad if I told him I saw? Should I tell Giriko and Justin first? Before he can do anything the door swings open and Noah steps out. "Oh…Gopher…what are you doing out here?" Gopher's hands shakes slightly but he tries hard to retain his usual self. "I…um…I'm here to escort you to breakfast!" Noah scratches his head and slowly nods as he looks at the young boy. "Alright…well lets get going then." Noah slowly begins heading towards the others, while Gopher takes a peek in Noah's room to see if the woman was still there. She wasn't. Noah's room was the same as it was before. "Gopher. You coming?"
Gopher turns to look at Noah and catches up to him. "Yes, of course Noah-sama!" As they both get to the table that Giriko and Justin are at, they sit down. Gopher nervously glances at Noah who wasn't paying attention to him as he tended himself to breakfast. Should I say it now? Should I do it? Gopher began to sweat and his hands under the table were shaking uncontrollably. Noah looks over at Gopher and gives him a concerned look. "You alright, Gopher? You seem anxious." Gopher quickly looks up at Noah and opens his mouth to say something. "N-No! I'm fine!" Noah smiles and pats Gopher on his back. "Whatever you say." For the rest of breakfast Gopher doesn't say a word. Noah stands up and looks at the group. "Well I'm going back to my room for the rest of the day."
Gopher's eyes widen as Noah says this and he quickly grabs Noah's arm."Huh? What's the big deal, Gopher?" The young boy hesitates but decides to say it. "Can I talk to you really quick, Noah-sama?" Noah gives Gopher a curious look before nodding. "Yeah…sure…"
Gopher leads Noah to his room and closes the door. Noah crosses his arms and looks at Gopher. "So what's this about?" Gopher takes a deep breath and says, "Last night…who was that woman?"
There's a brief pause. Noah looks into Gopher's eyes with a slight nervousness. But then Noah smiles. "A woman? What woman? There wasn't any woman in my room last night." Gopher shakes his head. "I saw her, Noah-sama! You were with a woman and…you were…you…"
Noah puts his hand up, signaling for Gopher to stop. "That's enough…I don't know what you think you saw but nothing happened. What were you dong last night, looking at me through my door anyway?" This makes Gopher blush and quickly look away. "I…I just wanted to make sure you were doing alright…"
Noah grins and begins to walk away as he opens the door. "Whatever you think you saw…it didn't happen Gopher. Now please leave me alone for a bit." With that, Noah leaves and Gopher sits in his bed, looking down. "I know what I saw…Why are you lying to me, Noah-sama…"
Heading back to his room, Noah enters and smiles as he sees Medusa waiting for him. "Going to lock the door this time?" Noah nods and locks the door then looks back at Medusa and slips an arm around her waist. "Now then…shall we get started, Medusa?" She gives him a wide grin and nods. "I thought you'd never ask…"
