NEW CHAPTER! (and I learned how to use italics and bold and lines! I am so excited!..still haven't figured out extra spaces or like line breaks tho...)
They had been driving for only fifteen minutes before Hiiro caught sight of the roadblock in their way. Hiiro quickly glanced at Usagi to make sure her face was still completely concealed from view. He almost smiled realizing she was still very asleep, even snoring lightly. He hoped she wouldn't have to see him shoot someone again.
The car came to a slow stop right before the barrier.
"Hello Officer" Hiiro greeted the man with a respectful bow of his head.
"Sorry, about this kid. We need to see your license and registration, as well as identification on your passenger." The police officer rattled off, hand resting lightly on his gun.
"No Problem" Hiiro said with what he knew was a relaxing tone as he pulled his wallet from his pocket a removed his own ID, handing it to the officer.
"Can I ask what this is about?" Hiiro inquired of the young man as he reached into the glove box to retrieve the registration, making very sure not to wake his companion. He handed the registration to the officer with a slight smile before reaching into the back seat and pulling out a purse. It took a minute of rummaging, but eventually Hiiro produced a wallet from the annoying female catchall. He slipped the ID from its plastic covering and handed it over to the officer.
"Ah Hiiro and Serena Yui?" After Hiiro gave a nod, the officer stalled a moment before finally deciding to divulge some information to the rough looking young man.
"A young woman was abducted from a nearby high school at gun point. We're just trying to make sure that the creep doesn't get too far with her. Would you mind if we searched your trunk?" The officer said all of this while scrutinizing Hiiro's face, half to compare to the ID, half to gauge his reaction to what he said.
"Anything to help." Hiiro replied easily, popping his trunk.
"Thanks." The young man replied before going to look in the back of the car. "She sleeps like the dead." The officer commented while casually going through various boxes in the back of the vehicle.
"Yeah," Hiiro gave a slight laugh, "she gets that from our mom."
"Shouldn't you two be in school this time of day?" The officer inquired after finishing up his search of the back of the vehicle.
"Yes Sir, I'm just taking her to the doctor. She seems to have the flu, but we want to be sure. Mom couldn't get off work so I'm doing it." Hiiro said, catching the man's eye with a blatantly teenage my-life-is-the-only-one-full-of-pain-and-suffering look.
The man let out a slight chuckle while handing Hiiro back his ID and registration.
"Everything checks out. I just need to make sure she is who you say she is. Could you remove that scarf from her head so I can see her face?" The officer asked innocently.
"No problem." Hiiro said, leaning over to pull the scarf from Usagi's face.
Usagi fidgeted as the pads of his fingers grazed her cheek.
Her eyes opened into slits as she glared at the offensive hand that had dropped the scarf from her face. She yawned, covering her mouth with her left hand and swatting Hiiro away from her face with her right.
"Leave me alone Hiiro-no-baka; I'm trying to sleep." She spoke groggily, quickly making a pillow out of her arms and shoving her face into the soft and warm resting place. She grumpily leaned to the other side of the car, facing away from Hiiro… and the officer.
Hiiro looked at the officer apologetically who gave him a smile in return. "I guess I saw what I needed. Sister's are universally frustrating huh?" He said, handing the second ID to Hiiro.
Hiiro returned the smile and nodded his head in agreement while placing the ID back in the wallet and the wallet into the purse.
"You two are free to go. Good luck with that one." The officer said with a nod while gesturing for his men to move the barricade to let them through.
Hiiro put the purse back in the back seat, gave a thankful nod to the young officer, and pulled onto the newly open road.
Hiiro made sure to drive away just as coolly as he drove up.
They drove in silence for about ten minutes before Usagi sat up and placed her scarf back over her face. "Serena Yui huh? Fake ID and all. You're quite the good actor Hiiro-san." She remarked while making sure the scarf properly covered her features.
He raised an eyebrow, "I didn't wake up in the middle of the façade and provide the performance that got us out of there."
"This is true." She said while casually glancing at her surroundings. "Stroke of genius to hide my face with a yawn and then my pillow of arms. And I was glaring so low I bet he couldn't see my pupils let alone the color of my eyes." Her voice got more excited the more she became aware of her genius.
"Hn"
"And did you see how I conveniently turned away from you guys? Brilliant! And how I insulted you? A prisoner wouldn't insult her captor so casually. Kami, I'm awesome." She gushed
"Hn"
Her eyes took on a slightly mischievous gleam as she glanced slyly at her companion. "You know Hiiro-san…. I never thought you were the type of man to carry a gun in his purse."
"…"
The rest of the car ride was fairly uneventful, or as uneventful as can be expected when two teenagers are on the run from senshi and law enforcement. Especially when one of the teenagers is constantly hungry, impatient, fidgeting, and insists on trying to get her companion to sing to every single song on the radio.
"Oh come on Hiiro-san, I'm sure you have a great singing voice. There's no need to be so shy."
"I am not shy."
"It's really Okay Hiiro-san. I promise I won't laugh. Just relax a little and have some fun."
"I do not relax."
"I'm sure you do! Everyone relaxes eventually."
"I do not relax."
"Then why did you abduct me? And where are you taking me? And when are we going to get there, because I am STARVING!"
"Hn."
"…"
"… …"
"… … …"
"… … … …"
"… I can't take this anymore! You're really twisted you know that? You think torturing me by leaving me completely in the dark about what we're doing is fun. I can feel the amusement coming off of you! You reek of delight!"
"Hn."
"Is a grunt really your answer for everything?"
"… Hn."
Hiiro almost cracked a devilish grin when Usagi let out a strangled yeowl of outrage, almost. Instead, he decided to put her out of her misery.
"We're here"
Usagi continued glaring ice daggers at Hiiro until his words sunk-in. She jumped in surprise and quickly surveyed their surroundings.
"We're in the middle of a forest." Her deduction was astute, although it lacked any of her usual enthusiasm. Not that she was expecting a mansion, but a hotel, or a house, or at least a roof of some kind would have fit her imaginings a little better.
"Close your eyes" Hiiro commanded.
Not too keen on being ordered around, another lengthy ice dagger embedded itself into Hiiro's metaphysical chest before Usagi complied.
She could feel Hiiro move from beside her, the fresh air feeling cool against her skin. But as soon as she felt the slight brush of chill, the air stilled and Hiiro and his warmth returned to his seat.
"Hiiro-san?" Usagi asked hesitantly.
"Open your eyes."
Usagi's mouth opened in a silent gasp, her eyes grew large trying to take in her new surroundings. She barely managed to gasp out "h..how?"
Dun Dun Dun! It's like a cliffhanger! I know where they are and you don't! buwahahahahaha
But yeah. I'm going to try to be a good little writer and update more regularly now that it's summer. But we shall see... But either way I hoped you enjoyed this ^_^
