Note: YAY!! Sorry it took me so long to update this story but my floppy disk it was on erased it so I had to write it over again. Everyone might be a little out of character, especially Nall. So I'll appologize before you read, just incase because I know fanfics suck when the characters are out of character ^_^. I had to get back into the flow of the story and that might take a few chapters. So let me know if this one was okay. If not, I'll try to change it a bit and repost it. But, I don't want any ignorant flames! Just, constructive critism...I think I spelt that wrong...and is "spelt" a word? Oh well, here it is.
Chapter 4: Jealousy Hurt the Cat
"Hiro!!" she screamed wrapping her arms around the brown-haired boy that had come through the door.
Nall raised an eyebrow and growled under his breath. He didn't like that had Hiro come back. Although it hurt Ruby and he knew it sounded mean, but he was glad Hiro was gone. Hiro, on the other hand, raised his eyebrow for a different reason.
"Uh, who are you?"
"It's me! Ruby! Can't you recognise me in my human form?! Nall helped me!"
"Wow, Ruby! You look beautiful!"
She blushed and smiled. This made Nall growl again but to hide his jealousy, he smiled and welcomed the couple.
"Hello Lucia, Hiro. What's up?"
"We have come because the world is in danger once again," Lucia warned.
He rolled his eyes at his own stupidity. The others walked up to greet Hiro and Lucia while Nall stayed behind.
"Of course it is, that was a pretty dumb question..." he mumbled.
"Hey Nall! Thanks for taking care of Ruby for me!" Hiro said.
Nall looked at him surprised then frowned.
"What? Are you taking the brat back?" he growled, "she would rather go home with you than stay here with me and the Dragon Kids. I know that for a fact."
"Huh?"
"HEY! WHY ARE YOU BEING SUCH A JERK!?" Ruby hollared.
He made a huffing noise and folded his arms over his chest stubbornly. Ruby walked over to him and looked him in the face. Or at least tried to. He kept turning his head away from her.
"If you're gonna be a jerk you could at least look me in the eye!" she hissed.
Nall simply walked out of the room. Ruby growled and walked in the opposite direction. Everyone else stood in silence. Uncomfortable silence, until Hiro cleared his throat.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"Yes! Can't you tell? Nall's in love and you're screwing up his groove!" Jean explained.
"His groove?" Lucia said cluelessly. She shook her head and took a more serious tone, "well, I feel Zophar's presence growing in this world. Nall must put aside his 'groove' and we must hurry to stop him!"
"You're still as presistant as ever, I see..." Ronfar mumbled.
Meanwhile, Nall sat in his room, rumaging through his old box of stuff. He needed to be reminded of good, carefree times. His life seemed so complicated these days. Love, kids, saving the world, getting Auras back. He picked up a picture of him and Luna and smiled.
"Well, Luna, you said I would have adventures again and boy were you right...I still can't believe I got my Aura stolen again. Pretty weak huh? We're gonna go get it back of course. Another adventure...but, I still wish I could go back to the old days...with you and Alex. Why am I so upset about Ruby and Hiro? It's not like I care about her! Do I? I dunno anymore. I wish you were here. You were always so wise. Well, maybe that's because you were Althena. Look at me! I'm talking to a picture! If anyone saw me they'd think I was crazy..." he laughed at himself then sighed, "they just don't know...how I feel."
Little did he know, Ruby was standing in the doorway. She silently listened to him talk to his picture.
'I don't think you're crazy...' she thought, 'but I wish I knew how you felt. You're so fickled!'
Slowly, she walked out and left him to his memories. She walked into the living room/kitchen with the others. Nall emerged from his room a few hours later. He sat at the table without saying a word to anyone. At the time, the only ones there was Hiro and Ruby. Everyone else had left to go to Meribia to go shopping. Hiro and Ruby stared at him contently.
"Nall..." Hiro said.
"What?"
"I didn't mean I was taking Ruby back."
"Pfft...Like I said, she would be happier with you anyway. So go ahead and take her."
"Hello!" Ruby screamed, "It's not like I'm not sitting here too ya know!"
Hiro laughed but Nall just frowned.
"And Nall, I never said that I would be happier with Hiro!"
"I'll just go..."
Hiro laugh and tried to slink away, but Nall unsheathed his sword and stabbed his orange cape into the floor to make him sit back down. He quickly took his seat, afraid of what the angry dragon might do.
"Don't hurt Hiro just because you're a jealous, jerky, jack-ass!! And you know what! Maybe I will be happier with Hiro because you SUCK!!" Ruby screamed, "you've been a horrible person these past three days and I'm sick of it!! Not everything's about you!! You selfish punk!!"
"Hmph, I've been called worse. And I already said I don't care if you leave. Go be with your stupid Hiro! But he's a human and time affects him. When he's old and gray and about to die...you'll be back..." Nall hissed.
Ruby jumped up and slapped Nall. He stumbled back.
"I've never heard you be so rude to me...you probably DESERVED to have your Aura taken! I'm not helping you get it back either!"
He stood there shocked, staring at the anger-filled pink haired girl as she walked away from him. Hiro watched, shocked as well. He had never seen Ruby this pissed.
'I know Ruby likes Nall, and visa versa, so why are they fighting like this?'
He touched the red mark Ruby left on his cheek and closed his eyes. For a while, he just stayed there, but then, he glanced at Hiro. He took his sword out from Hiro's cape and the floor.
"When everyone comes back, we have to hurry up and get to the Sapphiren's Cave before Yira does..." he said as he sheathed his sword.
With that, he left for his room. He picked up the picture of Luna he was talking to before.
"Well, I've let ya down. I should just go to you all shouldn't I? No...I promised I'd live my life. Damn this acursed eternal life...wait...Luna...this is your fault!"
Nall growled and threw the picture to the floor, breaking the glass in the frame.
"I thought you were my friend!! How could you do this to me!!" Nall screamed at the picture, "you promised you'd be there for me and look at all the pain you've caused just because you had to curse me with eternal life! Why?"
He calmed down and fell to the floor. He picked up the picture, his eyes brimming with tears.
"Why'd you do this?" he whispered.
Meanwhile, Hiro was explaining the fight between Ruby and Nall when they heard a crash and screaming. Jean gasped and looked in the direction.
"Are they still fighting?" she asked.
"No, Ruby's went another way. Anyway, he said that we should head to the Blue Dragon Cave before that lady gets his Aura too."
"I'm glad Nall is thinking about the safety of Lunar even while he is fighting about his 'groove'. It is truly responsible of him," Lucia said.
"Alright, let's go..."
Everyone turned around and saw Ruby. She walked up to the table and slammed it with her fists.
"What are you all staring at?! We have to go now or that lady might get the rest of our Dragon Auras!"
"I'll go get Nall," Lucia said getting up and walking to his room.
"We'll meet you at the Dragonship Destiny," Hiro said happily.
Leo chuckled.
"I haven't seen my old ship in a while. How is she?"
"Just fine. Still running fine after a year too."
"Quit talking about the stupid boat!" Lemina yelled, "sheesh, men..."
Lucia continued her walk toward Nall's room when she heard sobbing. She carefully made her way toward the noise and found Nall.
"What's wrong?"
Nall stood up quickly and wiped his eyes, trying to hide the fact he was crying.
"Nothing...nothing..." he said brushing himself off casually, "is everyone ready to get Sapphiren and Ebony?"
"Yes, but may I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Why were you and Ruby fighting?" she asked as they left for the Dragonship.
"...I dunno. I guess it's my fault for being jealous of Hiro..."
"Why? Was it because he 'screwed up you groove'? That's what Jean says it is."
Lucia's naivity and cluelessness made him laugh. But the laughter wore off and sadness came back. Lucia stared at him confused.
"You could say that."
Lucia stayed behind to take care of the Dragon Kids and Nall joined Hiro and the others on the Dragonship Destiny.
Note: Now that you're done, I would like to, once again, appologize if anyone was out of character. Please review ^_^.
