I Half-Love You: Chapter 3
The village of Raimon. He was in the village of Raimon. Oh, screw this. Shindou would gladly die. Okay, not really. He wasn't fond of the idea of being dead. But still, why was Fate so cruel. No wonder there were zero robots around.
Kirino read the shock on Shindou's face. The pink haired male pursed his lips in confusion. "What's wrong?"
Shindou shook his head – a little too quickly. He nervously smiled. "Oh it's nothing… I just realized how far I travelled, that's all." A smooth liar, that's what Shindou was.
"Really? So you're not from somewhere close?"
'Actually, just next door,' Shindou thought to himself. But then he couldn't say it out loud. He couldn't say he came from Teikoku City. So he chose someplace further and further away. "I'm from Hakuren,"
'Nice move Shindou Takuto. You had to say you came from a city that's no different than your real one. Haha, nice,' the brunet felt like facepalming all of his technological stuff out of his mind.
Kirino's eyebrows shot up. He was surprised. "Hakuren City, huh? That's really far away…"
Shindou nodded in response.
Kirino smiled. He stood up. "I'll go get you something to eat, you look starving," he said. Shindou was about to protest but Kirino already walked away.
Shindou sighed. He stared at his hands. He needed to get out of here. The longer he stayed in Raimon, the more his life was at risk. After all, he was really aware of the fact that the people here in Raimon despised robots more than anything else.
Raimon…
If Shindou remembered correctly, this village was the famous Inazuma's base. Yeah, that's right… the Inazuma Team; a group of teens who were hired by the government to hunt and destroy rouge robots. Slowly, he started to remember the past he had forgotten.
Shindou Takuto was their leader. Shindou was their captain. He had led the team a few years back; a team of five people. The brunet closed his eyes. The pain in his head slowly came back. He tried to remember the other member's faces. But it only worsened the pain. He winced. Maybe it was a bad idea to try and remember everything all at once. Maybe he should start slowly. He remembered that he was the Inazuma Team's captain. So, why wasn't he the captain now?
Ah, of course… They had been hunting down a robot. But instead of success, almost all five of them died. Wait, didn't one die? Shindou wasn't really sure but the one who died had bright orange eyes. He was also one of the strongest among all of them. How… How did he die?
"Urgh," Shindou rubbed his temples. He should stop before the pain gets worse. Kirino was coming back anyway.
"Here you go," the pink haired male placed a plate of delicious looking food in front of Shindou. He smiled as he sat down. "It's on the house,"
The brunet felt uncomfortable. He didn't really want to eat – not that he couldn't eat. It was just that Kirino was being so nice to him, it felt awkward. Noticing that Kirino didn't have a plate himself, Shindou stared at him. "What about you?"
Kirino just shook his head. "I already ate. A late breakfast, is what I'd call it," he laughed a little.
Shindou nodded and his gaze turned to the food. Maybe a few bites wouldn't hurt. He cut a small piece of the steak and chewed it. His eyes brightened as the flavours exploded inside his mouth. He looked at Kirino again with a grin. "This is amazing…!" he exclaimed and ate more. He had forgotten what steak tasted like. In fact, he hadn't eaten a balanced meal in ages. Maybe he could stay here a little while longer – just to get better.
Yeah, maybe.
Technically speaking, he would be safe here too. He could take refuge in this village until his master – ex-master – gave up on him. And he would love to know more about his past – since his ex-master had been kind enough to make him forget of the fact that he used to be a robot hunter or his whole life before he was saved, for that matter.
Sarcasm intended and should be taken note of.
Aah sorry guys, but my mind's a really huge mess right now. I'm starting to forget most of the important stuff I should be remembering and I feel like exploding right now. Orz. Hopefully I can remember everything again soon, so until then, see you!
