07 Ghost – Stop Running
Devil and Angel in me
Eight pairs of eyes fell onto the newcomer. He looked up and grinned sweat dropping.
"And hop!", I heard Ducan and in the next moment he jumped through the curtain directly onto Hyuuga.
"Very well! Now I got you, Major Hyuuga", Ducan said.
Said man looked just up to him then looked around. His gaze fell onto Teito. "Hoh? You are here, too? Nice surprise! That makes many things easier", he grinned.
"It definitely won't!", Ducan and I said at the same time.
With that said Ducan took out a pair of handcuffs. He applied them at Hyuugas wrists and then stood up pulling Hyuuga on his hair up as well.
"Lau-tan, your boss isn't nice", he gritted his teeth.
I grinned. That was his own fault. Hadn't he made so much trouble for me Ducan would be a lot nicer.
"That's because of your actions. He even would be nicer to Konatsu. But whatever. Say boss, what are you going to do with him?", I asked looking at him totally in question.
"What do you think? Since you have a promise collar on and he is – according to my information – your master, we have to keep him here. You know, the promise collar will explode when you don't see each other in 48 hours", he explained.
"And why did you have to take Konatsu with you?", I asked.
He just grinned mysteriously. A grin that was known by everyone of the rebellion. It means that he had his plans. Plans no one wants to know, that is.
"What's with you and Konatsu anyway?", Hyuuga asked now.
"He?", I looked down to Konatsu noticing that I kept stroking through his hair.
"Why didn't you say anything?", I laughed nervously.
Really why didn't he say anything, but also why did I continue?
Ah, yes, because he is cute. To me he looks like a teddy or something like that. I don't know why, but it was like that.
Now that's something. In the past just Ducan. And now that Major and at the same time his Begleiter?
That inner voice again...
No, it isn't like that. Konatsu is...more like a big brother to me, if you want to see it like this.
I couldn't hold back a sigh. This inner voice was annoying.
Haha, I see. That's how it is? You sure? I mean, I can understand you. He really is a cutie that blond.
Could you please stop that now?
Now who was that? A second inner voice or what?
That's right. You have two inner voices or let's say you have an angel and an devil inside you. I'm the voice of your angel in you. And I really can't take it any more. This freaking devil thinks she can do what she wants with you and then makes you totally unsure!
That's not true! the voice of the seemingly devil chimed in.
More or less she is right. I had to admit.
It's your nature to make her unsure. The angel said.
But yours, too. The devil said.
Not at all! I don't think that this was true. I think this angel voice will make me unsure as well. Especially when she is going to argue with that devil all the time.
Hey! That's not true! I could hear the angel pout.
It is true. You both are just annoying and now shut up and leave me alone with all those problems I have.
Yeah, you have a lot of problems. The devil said.
I gritted my teeth. So freaking annoying! How can you shut down your inner voices? Does anyone know? If so, then please tell me!
"Er...Laura-chan. You didn't leave us or something like that?", Konatsu suddenly asked and pulled me out of my thoughts.
"Ah, no, no. I-i just thought a bit", I mumbled.
"I wonder about what. You were looking at him really musing. You have a crush on him ore what?", Frau asked.
"W-What?N-no-no, it's not like that...I-I don't...", I stuttered blushing like mad.
Hahahaha, that blond is good! I like him! Hey, hey,you know what? I heard my inner devil again.
No, what is it?
Don't you think that blond is hot, too? My devil asked.
No I don't think so! Now stop it!
Just ignore her, Laura-chan. You have to bear up. My inner angel said.
Yeah, and now shut up. Both of you. I groaned inwardly. Those two are really annoying.
"I definitely don't have a crush on him", I said with certainty.
My gaze wandered over to Hyuuga. No, I hadn't a crush on Konatsu. But well...
"It can't be...she-", I put my hand on Konatus mouth to stop him from talking.
"Kona-nii~ if you say anything I'm going to kill you, you know?", I said with a friendly voice but with a really evil smile.
"Ho~ let him talk Lau-tan~", Hyuuga thrilled.
"No, my life won't last long if he tells them and wouldn't that be sad?", I asked keeping the friendly voice with the evil smile.
"He has me", Konatsu mumbled through my hand.
I looked down at him.
"Oh yes, about that matter I have to ask you out, yet", my evil smile turned into a grin.
"Hm...yes, yes...if you say anything about that , I will squeeze out everything about you both out of you", I said. Yes, to me that seems like a good plan. I think now he will be quiet.
I was right. He gulped and then kept quiet.
"All right guys. Stop talking. We have to go", Ducan said now.
"Where do we go?", I asked suspicious.
Ducan winked at me. "Home~", he just said and in the next second he knocked Hyuuga out and threw him over his shoulder.
Ducan looked at me expectantly. Sighing I smiled down at Konatsu. "Fifth time today. I pity you", I mumbled and knocked him out as well, stood up and threw him over my shoulder.
Then I looked at Frau and Teito. I raised an eyebrow when I saw Pipo playing with Mikage around Teito.
"Pipo! Come on!", I laughed.
The little dragon looked at me as he heard my voice. He jumped over to me nuzzling himself into my neck.
"Okay, well, do you two have to go somewhere? Or do you want to come with us?We'll head to the 3rd District", I asked them.
"We have to go somewhere else, but thank you", Frau said and stood up with Teito as well.
"Alright. If you need any help, just ask us anytime", Ducan then said, smiling at them nicely.
They just nodded. Then we bid farewell to Jake.
Up at the inn Cassidy was cleaning up everything. The other soldiers, who were with Hyuuga laid in front of the inn. All in a heap.
"Good work, Cass!", Ducan shouted.
The red haired woman turned around and grinned at us.
"Thanks Master. All right, I think you're heading back home?", she asked while walking over to us.
"That's right. We have to hurry before those soldiers awake and want their Major back", Ducan said and looked at the soldiers outside.
"Yeah, I know. All right, take every Hawkzile you need. I think we have enough", Cassidy said.
Ducan just nodded an went with us to the backyard.
Taking three of five Hawkziles we flew in the direction of the 3rd District.
It took us the rest of the day to reach our hideout. It was already in the middle of the night when we landed. Yawning I more or less stumbled off from my Hawkzile and then tried to carry Konatsu. But I fell to the ground and winced at a certain pain.
"Ow, why dose it have to hurt now?", I mumbled.
Lauren chuckled and came over to me. "You're hurt? What happened?", he asked while taking Konatsu from me.
"Ah...well...Hyuuga and I were a bit careless and so I had to protect two children from Hyuuga and now I have a scratch at my waist. It's nothing", I explained.
Lauren raised an eyebrow and helped me up.
He carried Konatsu on his back and supported me a bit while we went into the hide out, a big cavern in a mountain.
When we entered a entrance hall we could see people run around. It was a dark place, but everywhere were set lights so we could see enough. Many doors directed to corridors. Some to corridors with only rooms for us rebels to live. Others with common rooms and kitchens and things like that and also two which lead to cells for hostages.
"Don't be surprised that we have grown. I took over the rebellion of the man you three caught a while ago", Ducan said to me as I blinked at the sight.
"I-i see. Seems like they were as much as we", I said.
"That's right", Ducan agreed. "Okay, is it okay if I make you guard them, Laura?", he then asked while nodding to Hyuuga and Konatsu. "I've prepared two chains with collars for them", he winked.
I just nodded. That was so typical of him, but in all the ten years I knew him now, I couldn't get used to that side of him.
It was a more or less sadistic side of him, that allowed him to do things no one ever thought about doing. He also could do things others couldn't. Like the escape. You remember how we managed to get out of there without a scratch?
That was only possible because of Ducan. I don't know anyone else who could have done that.
We went left to a door and entered a dark corridor. Only small lights were attached to the walls.
We stopped in front of a brown door and I opened it.
We entered a big, comfortable room. At the other side stood a bed. Left in the room stood a small, red couch and two bookshelves on each side of the couch. On the right stood a lonely desk full of papers and other work utensils.
"Get them on the bed. I'll take...care of the rest...yes", I said and looked at the two chains on the wall next to my bed.
"You don't like them?", Ducan asked innocently grinning like a child.
"No..it's okay", I just said.
Chuckling he laid Hyuuga on my bed next to Konatsu. Then he put the collars of the chains around both necks taking their weapons from them.
"Good, now rest a bit. I don't think they'll do anything to you since the chains work a bit like your promise collar. They won't use Zaiphon for a while. Good night~", Ducan waved and went out with Lauren.
Yawning I threw myself onto the couch cuddling a bit with Pipo.
This was a really long and hard day. I really needed some sleep.
Just after I thought about sleep I slowly dozed off.
Slowly I wandered through a dark forest. When I looked up and through the leafy canopy I saw a bit of the sky. It had a pale green touch to it instead of anything blue. Clouds were missing and I even couldn't see a sun even if it looked like there was sunshine.
Following a small forest track through the forest I kept walking.
The only thing I heard were my own steps onto the ground.
It wasn't the first time I was here. I knew were I was. It was called my inner world. Or my dream wold if you want. I don't know how to call it. It was just how it looked like in me.
Too calm you say?
Don't worry. Look. It's really dark in this forest, but normally it would be a lot brighter in here.
That was before misfortune overcame me.
But that aside. I'm not often here.
So why was I here today?
I ended up at a clearance. In the middle of it stood a really huge tree. He was a lot bigger then any other tree in this forest.
On him sat two figures. Who were they? I've never seen them before.
Walking closer to the tree I managed to make out two girls. They both had red-brown hear as long as mine. Dark-blue cat-like eyes fixed on me.
I looked curious at them.
One was taller then the other. The left one was small and cute. It wore a light blue dress, white little wings were seen on her back and I could even see a halo above her head.
The taller girl wore dark red shorts and a black corsage. At her back a devilish tail was seen as well as blood-red dragon wings.
"Hi there my dear Laura~", the taller girl greeted me.
My eyes widened. That voice was the voice of my inner devil.
"You- you are my inner devil and angel?", I asked.
"That's right~", the devil thrilled and jumped of the tree and walked over to me.
"And do you know why we are here?", the little angel now asked also jumping from the tree and walking over to me.
"No..i don't", I slowly said.
"We awoke when misfortune began to hunt you down. We are worried about you and want you to find someone who can protect you. If you don't find one..." the angel said.
"...There is a big possibility that at the latest you'll die at the end of this year", the devil continued.
I had the feeling my heart jumped for a second. My whole body froze.
"So I think you know what we mean by finding someone who can protect you, right?", the angel asked playfully.
"Find your love~ And hey, we already found the right one. I'm sure that Major can protect you just fine~", the devil thrilled cheerfully.
"But-" , I wanted to protest but they cut me off.
"Don't say you don't like him! We know you better than everyone else, even better than you know yourself! You've fallen in love with him. END!", they shouted.
I winced a bit but gave in. "All right, all right. I got it. I got it. I fell in love with him, okay", I said and sighed.
They sighed in relieve. "Good, your next goal is to come together with him", the devil said.
"I think that isn't any problem since it's clear that you both more or less fell for each other", the angel said.
I just nodded. That wasn't something I wanted and I don't think it wasn't right to just use him to protect me. But those two won't listen to me anyway.
"Okay, then do it. We count on you, because we really don't want you to die yet. You're too young my dear~", the devil thrilled, waved and then...
I opened my eyes widely and before I could think about that dream I shrieked at the sight of dark-blue eyes which looked curious at me.
Okay~
let's end this chapter :D
well, Laura and die? What do you think?
To be honest the story is nearing itself the end (: yeah there are maybe five chapters left (: but that's up to you.
What do you prefer? A Happy End or what about a sad but sweet end?
If you want the sad but sweet end, I have ideas for it (: it really is sad but also sweet *o*
but if you prefer a happy end I will think about a really happy one (;
If you want the sad but sweet end the story will be shorter then one with a happy end. I think :'D
I think it's clear what will happen,when it'll be a sad but sweet end (:
so think carefully about it and answer me honestly (:
until the next chapter *waves*
