Chapter 5: Fighting

When Marcus got back to the hotel and he opened the door, he quickly dodged a vase as it hit the wall. Marcus opened his eyes to see Nathan glaring at him.

"You're mad..."

"No shit! I'm pissed off that you took my credit card and that you went to go treat the slut's gluttony friend!"

"You can always get more money with modeling... Besides... Treating her was just my way of being nice." Marcus said as he sat in a chair and started brushing his hair.

"Pride... Being nice? Heh, somebody call the police cuz Pride has fallen in love." Nathan teased then Marcus broke his brush.

"And what about you...? Falling in love with 'her'... My sister...?" Marcus asked then Nathan gasped and turned to glare at the blond hair boy.

"Don't you dare speak of her... We promised to never talked about it!"

"We only came back to this time to find her, Nathan! And so far we found nothing but smack! Face it, she is no where to be found in Daten City!"

"We have to keep trying! Something happened in this time period that made me loose her... I'm not giving up..." Nathan said then Marcus stood up and headed to the door.

"I'll give you some time to cool down..." He said then he left.


Walking in the rain, Marcus pulled his jacket a bit and sighed.

It's been years back then... I don't know what went wrong... My sister... She was the most purest girl in the whole world... Who would've been so cruel to what they did to her...? Marcus thought as he remembered seeing his beloved sister, dead. He remembered Nathan emotionally breaking down, cursing and wishing that it should have been him and not her. When Marcus came to, he looked up and noticed Stocking. She held an umbrella over the two of them then Marcus sighed softly.

"What do you want...?"

"I just saw you standing there like a fool getting wet in the rain..." Stocking said, bluntly then Marcus chuckled softly.

"Come on. Let's get out of here."


At a hotel, Stocking was looking at the city then she turned to see Marcus drying his hair, his shirt and jacket removed, leaving him in his jeans.

"Was there something you're willing to get for helping me... Stocking...?" Marcus asked as he put the towel on his shoulders.

"N-no... Just think of this... As a way of saying 'thanks' for treating me..." Stocking stuttered as she turned to look back at the city.
"So... What happened to your partner... Greed...?"

"...He and I got into an argument..." Marcus said as he stood up from the bed.

"I... I see... Is this the first time you got into a fight with him...?" Stocking asked then Marcus rested his hand on the glass window, just above her hands.

"Nah..." Marcus whispered close to Stocking's ear. Stocking blushed as she could feel his warm breath close to her ear.

"We fight most of the time. Usually it's just that Nathan needs some time to calm down." Marcus whispers then Stocking blushes. She closes her eyes as she was prepared to get kissed by the handsome muscular blond but all she heard was a thud. When she opened her eyes, she gasped and saw Marcus on the floor.

"Pride!" She called but Marcus was unconscious.
