Chapter 25: Recherche de...comfort…
Benimaru POV
Why was he there? Well…it IS his house, but why? Why does he still look for me? Isn't Iori the one he wants now? What is his plan…what does he plan to do? I just can't seem to remember anything I did with him…the whole hating Kyo's guts, and making him the enemy…it's like if Ash wiped it all out of my memory.
"You'll be fine." Elisabeth states out of no where. We're at her house, which is, not surprisingly, bigger than Ash's.
"Umm...yea. I've been in worse situations." I tell her, while still holding the bag of ice to the side of my bandaged head. And now I wonder how I ever lost my memories in the first place...is it just me, or do I always hit my head on something?
"Really?" She asks me.
"Yea..." I trail off.
"Well, do you want anything to eat?" She asks.
"Sure." I mumble. It seems like I've eaten French food already sometime...must've been with Ash...hmm...
"Bon. I'll tell my cooks to prepare the food." She stands up, then disappears into the hallway. Where exactly is the kitchen, anyway?
"What did you really see in there?" Duo Lon suddenly asks me. He's standing in the corner of the room with his eyes calmly on me. Kami, I swear he can read minds.
"Nothing, really...just a ghost...a bad nightmare one." I respond with a slight smile. He looks at me, as if trying to dig deeper into my mind. Before he can say anything else, Elisabeth comes in.
"Do you two like French food?" She asks.
"Sure, why not?" I yawn.
"Elisabeth!" A sudden voice yells from afar. Elisabeth looks toward the stair case. Her father is looking at her from there.
"Papa?" She walks over to him. "Qu'est-ce que c'est?" She asks him in French.
"C'est Ash. Il veut parler avec vous au téléphone."
"Ce qui?"
"C'est Ash." He reapeats the name, holding out the telephone to her. Ash? What? What are they talking about? Elisabeth takes the telephone, then slowly presses it to her ear.
"Allo?" She speaks into it. I get up, wanting to hear, even if it'll all be in French. Elisabeth's dad just looks at me.
"Ash... ce qui sont vous..." Elisabeth trails off. "...Ash? Avez-vous oublié? Oublié ce que nous sommes venus pour faire?" I hear his voice, faint from the telephone line.
"Non... je l'ai juste recréé..." I then hear the dial tone, and Elisabeth pushing the end button to the telephone.
"What was that about?" I ask her.
"Nothing..." She gives the phone to her father. "...nothing...let's go eat. I'm sure the food is ready." She doesn't look at me, though. She doesn't look at anyone. She seems to be in some kind of deep thought. Of course...it must've been something...what is he planning to do...?
XDXDXD
Normal POV
"So, are you having a great time over there or something?" Kyo asked Benimaru over the phone. He heard a slight sigh come from the other side of the line.
"Well, almost a good time. Except that I've awaken to soreness these past few days."
"Really? What kind of soreness?" Kyo asked with a small smirk on his face.
"Horse riding. Elisabeth has a few horses, and makes us ride them everywhere...but it's all cool 'cause she's freakin' hot." Kyo swore he could hear the smirk in his voice.
"Hot? Really? So is she your teammate?" Kyo asked him.
"Fortunately, yes. I plan to grab her attention sometime before this year's KOF tournament is over. I know she wants me." Benimaru goes on conceitedly.
"Right. Like any girl would fall for you." Kyo bursts out laughing.
"I'm serious! I see the way she looks at me..." Benimaru trailed off.
"Are you sure? I thought you were gay." Kyo goes on teasing him.
"Shut up. I'm not the one who has a girlfriend that actually looks like a dude." Benimaru strikes back.
"Hey! Yuki does NOT look like a man!" Kyo rises from his chair, still holding the reciever pasted to his ear. "At least I didn't hang out with a fag for, like months. No telling what you two did in that time period!" Kyo reffered to Ash.
"I did NOT do anything with him! Wait 'till I get back, you sorry ass-" Kyo hung up. No wonder they always ended up in fights...they always insulted each other.
"Who was it, Kyo-san?" Shingo asked, hearing all the comotion.
"Ah, that particular girly-boy over in France. Talking crap, as usual." Kyo walked over to the door. "Come on. We've got work to do." Kyo smiled slightly. (This KoF tournament is going to take longer than I thought...Ash...Chizuru...Iori...this doesn't make sense...what is he planning to do?)
XDXDXD
