Here we go for second chappie! xD Enjoy it guys! I..had difficulties writing it maybe because Britney Spear' song "Till the world ends" were kind of too disturbing to my for my own sake xD Well..Tell me about it as always in reviews!
"Look, I can leave. You two don't need to rip each other's neck" Shirou sighed while getting up from his sit where he was watching the two siblings arguing loudly. The saddest thing is that they were fighting because of him and he could not help the feeling of culpability growing inside him.
"You, shut up!" Both brunettes interrupted him. Shocked, he froze and sat back ignoring the horrible odor of stale water and trying to block from his head their loud yells in vain.
"I left for one hour and when I come back I see you sympathize with a complete stranger! He could have been one of the monsters, a maniac or worse! He could have been a pedophile!" The young woman, Micheo's elder sister yelled while glaring outrageously at the young boy.
"Hey I take offense to that" Shirou interrupted jokingly but was merely ignored.
"This would have never ever happened if you had let me come with you!" he snapped back crossing his arms on his chest just like his sister in front of him. Shirou noticed that they shared the same looks. They had the same olive-toned, slight tan skin which matched their chestnut hair but the most striking feature they possessed were their blue eyes that no one could miss.
"You know it would be dangerous" she defended her action.
The older girl inhaled deeply before looking back at her brother. Her eyes had softened and the angry edge in her voice had completely disappeared.
"Let's forget about it okay? I brought back food for you" she exclaimed jerking her chin to the black back-pack lying on the soil. She walked to it and opened the zipper revealing a dozen of snacks, packets, bars and bottles and immediately, Shirou started to ask himself where she had found those in such an apocalyptic time.
"I'm not hungry. You eat Ayano" Micheo muttered while turning his back from the two.
"Please. Have something. I'm sure that's delicious" she insisted grabbing a packet of chips and wiggling it in front of his small nose.
"No" he immediately answered before he rose up to go and sit next to Fubuki who was watching them with great amusement.
"Then If you don't eat neither will I" Ayano proclaimed. She held her grumbling stomach and stared at her smaller brother's with a certain glee present in her smile. Seeing the two of them grinning and looking at each other furtively, no one could have guessed that they were arguing a few moments ago.
"Fine I'll eat!" Micheo groaned. Surrending, he snatched a packet of peanuts that he opened and started to nibble while looking down. His sister was wearing a victorious smile as she attacked a box of chocolate biscuits.
"You want something...Shirou?" she asked the man whose head perked up as he heard his name being called by the young person for the very first time. He shook his head slowly feeling that it would be wrong to waste the siblings' food. Those provisions were not meant for him, he did not earn him and he could not abuse of those children's kindness but his grumbling stomach betrayed him.
"Don't be silly. Here, catch" Ayano said dryly while throwing a packet of chips which Shirou grabbed in the air with much easiness. He avidly tore the packet of Doritos and soon a wonderful smell of cheese started to feel his nostrils. The mouth-watering snack looked tempting and he started eating it with much eagerness thinking that it was his first meal since so many days.
After eating three of those, he felt his mouth even drier and was relieved when he could gulped the pure water. Finally the awful taste of bile in his mouth was vanished and his throat was not sore anymore but a question was trotting in the back of his mind.
"Where are you guys sleeping, tonight?" he asked conventionally while sweeping his hands on the back of his dirty blue old jeans.
Unlike Ayano who glanced at Fubuki suspiciously, Micheo was more quick to answer.
"That's the problem. We don't know 'cause we can't go back to the cinema they will find us again" the boy stated mournfully while contemplating bottle of water.
"Cinema?" Shirou asked dumbfounded not comprehending a bit of what he was talking about.
"We spent our days in an old abandoned cinema complex. The only place we found which was not completely destroyed by the Earthquake. It was awesome! We could eat loads at the snack counter and sleep on those comfy chairs...but then we had to leave because we saw them prying the building and knew it wasn't safe anymore."
Shirou died to ask what the boy meant by them anymore but knew it could wait.
"Why not coming with me? I sheltered in a small cave a few miles of here. It's not as amazing as your cinema but it's safer and more secluded though it at least a two hour walk" Shirou proposed but did not watch the little boy but stared instead at his sister; the one he really had to convince. It was maybe pathetic but he would not want to be alone anymore and enjoyed the company too much.
"Then let's get going. The sooner we start walking, the earlier we will be there" Ayano announced jumping to her feet.
He leaned back like every night on the wall of his cave contemplating the fire which was glazing a few meters away from him. The ocean of red, yellow and orange flames merged, flickered and danced while illuminating the rocky place and the face of the young woman who approached it. Ayano sat near the bonfire, and extended her arms trying to heat her void, numb palms.
"Mich seemed to like you a lot. I wonder why "she whispered not wanting to wake up the young boy who fell asleep. It made Shirou feel uncomfortable watching him sleep he hard surface so it felt normal when he lifted gently his head to place it on his lap.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't get me wrong but you two did not even knew each other and here you are!" she exclaimed gesturing to them.
"I can't explain it neither...It just felt natural to me" Shirou whispered. "Tell me Ayano, how old are you?" he asked abruptly changing the subject for a reason Fubuki himself did not comprehend...not that he wanted to.
"I'm eighteen" she said grimacing, her nose crinkling and frowns appearing on the middle of her forehead. "I feel old" she said smiling, her blue eyes sparkling.
"You make me feel like an old man" he grinned back.
"How old are you?"
"Turning twenty-two"
"Glad to met you, gramps"
The laughed a little but then, fell again into darkness.
"Mich has been so brave since the beginning to all of these...I know he his scared but for me, he put on a face of bravado" she looked at the boy, her face mixed with an expression of affection and sadness.
"And you Ayano, are you afraid?" he asked slowly, his voice bare audible among the cracking sound of the fire and the breathing of the child who was still sleeping soundly. She remained long minutes quiet and did not have the courage to gather words and answer his question.
"I'm terrified" her voice broke.
Fubuki was, in a gruesome way, satisfied with her answer showing that the ice queen personality she had was just a facade and that she was a normal young person, with fears and sorrow but she was brave enough to overcome them just for the sake of her brother.
"Do not worry anymore" Fubuki tried to reassure her.
"Why, because I should feel in security with you by my side?" she snorted her voice fill with sarcasm and apprehension.
"I don't know you guys but we are link. We will make it though. I don't care if there is another Earthquake, a tsunami or an alien invasion 'cause we will survive no matter what" he declared before putting out the fire and then slowly embraced the darkness.
Is it too obnoxious to say that I am satisfied with the chapter? Anyways I hope you are okay with it too J and I hope I will be able to upload faster knowing that Adulthood, the other multi-chappie I work or is supposed to work on is on a temporary HIATUS…Sniff sniff xD
