Brandon: You sure update a lot since Christmas.
Me: Like I said: I'm making the most out of my vacation!
Brendan: You almost went into depression doing the chapters.
Rena: Maybe you're the one with the disease...
Me: What disease?
Brenda: The disease that has an incredibly long name.
Me: Oh, that! I don't have such disease!
Brendan: Maybe this will punch you up! Ground Shock!
Me: *falls on the ground out cold and half burned*
Brendan: Ok, I need to control my strength more...
Rena: Brendan!
Brendan: Sorry!
Brandon: *sigh* Let's just start this chapter.
?: Hello!
Rena: There you are! Since this is your chapter you do the disclaimer.
?: If you say so... This fainted guy here doesn't have GC in his hands or other people's OC. He only earns this FF and his OC's... *falls asleep while standing*
Rena: You might want to wake her up...
Brendan: Don't care!
Chapter 9: Promises of the Past
Brendan's POV
I woke up in the healing ward confused on how I got there. I sat up and tried to remember what happened yesterday but to no avail. I only remembered that we killed the Harpy Queen and well... I don't know what happened next. Then Brenda came out.
"Hey, Brenda! Do you know what happened yesterday after I killed the Harpy Queen?" I asked the drowzy female spirit
"Huh? I don't know I just woke up... Why?" she said lazily
"Where's Brandon?" I asked her another question
"Sleeping, probably..." she answered after yawning
"Maybe..." I said after getting something in mind
"Hmm... Maybe your thinking right. He could have overtaken your body." Brenda seconded my idea
"He didn't!" my eyes glowed red in anger
"He did or he didn't." Brenda said after returning back to my body
"I'll know eventually." I stood up and went out of the ward
Lire's POV
I can't sleep well and it's still 6:30 a.m. So I decided to wake somebody. The first guy was of course Ryan but he'll get all cranky and cry baby like. Thinking more harder, I heard a noise in the dinning room downstairs.
"I wonder who could it be?" I asked no one in particular
Brendan's POV
I'm in the dinning room eating some pork buns that I dug from the refrigerator. I heard someone approaching so I summoned Dark Moon, my katana, and readied myself from any assault from whatever or whoever it is. I was about to unsheat Dark Moon when the something has been identified when I heard its shout.
Lire's POV
"Hello! Anybody here?" I called out inside the dark dinning room while holding my guard up
The chandelier turned on and to my surprise it was Brendan with a black katana
"What are you doing up so early?" he asked me
"I couldn't sleep well and I thought you were out cold in the healing ward." I answered
"I always do this everyday." he replied
"You're katana's gorgeous!" I said after his weapon gained my attention
"Thanks! Anyways, what happened? Why'd I end up in the healing ward?" he asked another question
"Aira and Cross said that you were controlled by a black spirit and you started attacking Aira, then Cross came and fought you but you cornered them both and finally something mysterious happened, you suddenly fainted." I explained to him what I've heard
"That Brandon..." he said coldly and with anger, his eyes glowed red just by a second
"Can I eat with you?" I asked him changing the topic
"Yep! Want a pork bun?" he offered one pork bun to me
"Thanks, and who's Brandon?" I asked him in a curious tone
"I don't really want to talk about it..." he said taking a bite on his pork bun
After eating some pork buns he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Hey, wait!" I called out to him
"I'm going to my favorite part of town." he turned around and answered the question in my mind
"Ok then, let's do this more often!" I said smiling
"Alright, I don't mind a little company." he replied with a smile too
Then he opened the door and went out without bothering to close it. I shook my head in disappointment. I proceeded to close the door but it closed all by itself.
"That Brendan..." I said with a sweet smile on my face
Brendan's POV
My favorite place in town is a wooden bench in front of a cake shop. Today, I slept in that certain bench to once again build up some strength. Just then, I felt someone poking me and I woke up just to see a girl wearing a red ribbon to tie her hair, red polo, white skirt, shoes and gloves that has neon blue stripes and she has long golden brown hair.
"Hey sleepy head! Did you miss me?" she asked me as I sat up "I've been looking around for you since our continent became a ghost's paradise."
"Wait, you look like my cousin." I said tiredly before yawning
"I am your cousin, silly!" she said poking me in the head
"Sayoka?" I asked looking at her face intently
"Yes in dee-dee it's me!" she cheered
"What ever..." I said trying to ignore her
"So, what's the news to our little Magnum Holder?" she asked "I thought you were dead already how'd you survive?"
"Just some skills." I joked
"By the way, I'm sorry for your mother, father and cousin." she said looking down
"It's alright, the more reasons to live." I said trying not to lose my cool
"Where's Rena?" she keeps on asking questions after another
"Still nowhere to be found." I answered her
"By the way I'm an Omni-Switcher now not a Magnum Holder." I informed her
"Really? That means that you're a -" I cut her off
"Yes, but let's keep it a secret from the Chase, alright?" I said emphasizing the word Chase
"You're a member of the Chase too?" she yelled shocked
"Yes, yes I am." I answered
"REALLY? Maybe you can use a Templar Assassin such as me in your team?" she shouted almost making my eardrum fall out
"Ok, but you'll have to cook." I said smirking
"Ok, don't move a muscle, alright?" she said then she rushed towards the nearest store
After some minutes I head someone shouting.
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" a short girl came running towards me like a freight train
I tried to dodge her but with no result. She was too fast and tackled me.
"Iyuuu~" she uttered with teary eyes
"Hey, you alright?" I asked her standing up
"Come with me quick!" she grabbed my arm and dragged me away
She dragged me into an ice cream shop.
"Why were you running and why drag me too?" I asked the girl
"Iyuuu~ Sorry! I wasn't thinking much at that time." she said getting embarassed
"What are those in the paper bag?" I asked looking at the paper bag
"This? It's dango!" she cheered while holding the paper bag up
"You're a cheerful little girl." I complimented her
"Iyuuu~ I'm a teenager now!" she informed
"Why were you running again?" I asked my unanswered question
"I was walking merrily when a cat jumped on me so I kinda panicked and started to run like crazy."
"It's getting late I should take you home now little girl." I said patting her head
"Iyuuu~ I'm not a 5 year old!" she complained
"Whatever..."
"Iyuuu... You're an idiot head!" she yelled
"Next time don't freak out like that." I lectured
"Iyuuu..." there goes her catch phrase
"Iyuuu..." I copied her
"Huh? Iuuu! Stop copying me!" she complained
"What? You were saying it at all times." I reasoned
"Iyuuu... You bully..." she uttered hitting me slightly
"You're so innocent." I said smiling
"Well this is where I say goodbye! I hope we each other again!" she said after bowing
"Dangos are on me!" I shouted
"Promise?" she asked pretty surprised
"Promise!" I shouted once again
We waved each other goodbye. When I turned around I saw the clock and it was 11:30 in the morning already and I remembered a certain someone that I left in the shop. I ran as fast as I can to where I came from.
"I'm so sorry!" I said while panting
"You're a liar..." Sayoka said coldy
Sayoka: Yehey! I finally appeared!
Rena: An OC will surely appear next chapter!
Brendan: R&R
Notes:
1) Sayoka is my OC and she's Brendan's cousin.
2) Hint, hint! A hint is in Sayoka's dialogue that will give you an idea about Brendan's past and it's very important.
3) Sayoka's profile will be released in omnious' forum so you guys can freely use her in your stories.
4) Brendan never got the girl's name.
5) Who the girl is? She's another OC of mine and you might want to review this chapter if you wanna know who she is.
6) R&R!
