Note: Now...this chapter's a little long. Plus, it might be alittle...I dunno...fluffy? The point WAS so couples who weren't already together could confess how they felt about each other so...yeah. Oh, and no one could find any hardcore proof of Leo/Jean so...sorry Leo/Jean fans! Well, go ahead and read...go on! Get now!
Chapter 6: Confessions
They reached the Zaback Mines by nightfall. Nall insisted that they went in to get Ebony, the Black Dragon, right away. So, him and Leo went in (although Ruby said not too), while Ronfar and the girls took care of Sapphiren, who they said was still too weak to fight.
"Good, the monsters are still here," Leo said, "that means no one has been here yet."
"Yeah, so let's get Ebony."
Leo and Nall went through the cave, destroying the monsters. After about 30 minutes, they arrived in Ebony's Lair. They stepped on the platform that would carry them to her. In the corner, there was a small, black and green winged cat-like creature that looked a lot like Ruby. Nall walked over to her and poked her. She woke up and looked at him wearily.
"Who?"
"It's me Ebony, Nall."
She smiled and cheered up.
"Hello Nall! What brings you here?"
"I wish I could say it was for a pleasant chat but this is serious," Nall said, "there are these two people trying to get the Dragon Auras. You're in danger. They already got mine and Sapphiren's."
"Don't worry, there's no need to continue," Ebony said as she flew onto Nall's shoulder.
'I hope Sapphiren's okay...' she thought.
Nall, Ebony, and Leo quickly left the Zaback Mines and returned to the Destiny. Ruby walked up to them to check to see if Nall's injury got worse.
"See? I'm fine," Nall bragged, "I told you I'd be fine!"
"Hmph! That's not what this says!" she said pointing to a bleeding scratch on his cheek.
"What? That's a just scratch!"
"So?! You still got hurt even if it isn't serious!"
As Nall and Ruby argued, Ebony jumped down from his shoulder and changed into a human. She had short black hair whose bangs covered her left eye. She was wearing a black trench coat over a dark green dress with black, lacey ruffles at the top and bottom. Ebony walked over to Sapphiren and hugged him. He looked down at her and smiled.
"I haven't seen you in a while!" he said hugging her back.
"Nall told me you had your Aura taken...are you okay?" Ebony asked as she laid her head on his chest.
"I'm fine...I tried to tell them that Nall was tired longer because he's an old man! Ha!"
Nall turned from his fight with Ruby, glared at Sapphiren, and pounced on him. Ebony stepped back as Sapphiren made a squeal of fright as he was knocked to the ground.
"I'm not an old man, little boy!!" Nall yelled.
"WAH! SORRY SIR!!"
"Nall! He's still weary! You shouldn't be fighting him!!" Ruby screamed, "LISTEN TO ME!!!"
Ruby grabbed Nall and started cussing him out about ignoring her but then they ended up wrestling. Lemina giggled.
"It's like a 'Dragon-Love Free-for-All'," Lemina said laughing.
"I'm just glad that Ruby and Nall aren't mad at each other any more," Leo said as he smiled at the screaming couple, "now it's just their normal arguements."
"Ow! Ruby you hurt me!" Nall whimpered.
He held his stomach and glared at Ruby. She gasped and backed up.
"Oh! I'm sorry I didn't..."
Just as Ruby appologized, he jumped her and pinned her down.
"HEY!"
"I lied! M'WAHAHAHAHA!!"
"Nall...uh..."
"Huh?"
Nall noticed their position, blushed, and quickly got off of Ruby. He laughed nervously and scratched the back of his neck neck. She stood up, blushing as she brushed herself off.
"Sorry, that was an accident. Honest."
"Yeah, yeah...I know..."
Everyone busted out laughing. Nall glared at them.
"What's so funny?"
"Accident...sure..." Ronfar said, stifling laughter.
"Grr..."
"Nall's a dirty old man!" Sapphiren laughed loudly.
"GRR!!"
Once again, Nall tackled him and began to beat him up.
"WAAAH!!"
"Well...while you all fight, I'll steer the ship to Taben's Peak. There, we can figure out a way to get Nall and Sapphiren's Auras back," Hiro said, "but let me know who wins!"
Hiro walked to the deck and began toward the evil castle turned orphanage. After Nall beat the crap out of Sapphiren, Lemina yawned.
"I'm getting mega-tired so I'll just go to my room..."
"Yeah, gettin' beat up makes me tired too..." Sapphiren said, "not to mention, I'm still not fully recovered from losing my Aura."
Everyone agreed and said goodnight to everyone and retreated to their rooms. The pairs in the rooms were Leo and Nall, Ronfar and Sapphiren, Ruby and Jean, Lemina and Ebony. Hiro would sleep by himself during his break from steering, when Leo took over for a while. In Ruby and Jean's room, Ruby laid down, watching the ceiling and listening to Jean snore.
'I can't sleep...' Ruby thought to herself, 'who ever thought a girl as beautiful as Jean snored so freaking loud...'
So, she got up and walked up to a part of the deck where Hiro couldn't see or hear her. Suddenly, she heard a slow, haunting tune being sung from below deck. The low music came closer and closer. Soon, Nall came up to the part where Ruby was, but he didn't seem to notice her. Ruby carefully walked over to him as he leaned against the wall of the ship and folded his arms over his chest, singing the slow tune softly and gazing up at sky. His eyes were distant, like his mind was somewhere in the stars.
"I didn't know you sung..."
Nall looked at Ruby surprised and startled with a hint of embarassment and anger.
"I didn't know you were there! Don't do that!" he yelled.
"Shh...you'll wake everyone up!" Ruby said quietly.
He gave her a look then averted his gaze back to the blue orb in the sky. Ruby stared at him for awhile then scratching her head in thought.
"What was that song you were singing?"
"It was a song Luna and Alex wrote together. They called it Goddess Althena's Theme, I think. It's been a while. Luna sung and Alex played the music. It used to always calm me down when I was younger so now I sing it to calm me down," Nall said quietly looking at the orcarina. He chuckled, "not that I think I can sing though! I would play this thing but I don't know how."
"What do you need to be calm about?"
"A lot of things...like how I'm going to keep you from losing your Aura..."
"In other words, you're worried about how you're going to protect me..."
"I-I guess you could say that. But that's not the only thing. I'm worried that I might not get me and Sapphiren's Aura back. And not to mention, I've been trying to figure out what they plan on doing with our Auras. I'm worried my irresponsiblilty may lead to Lunar's destruction..." Nall started rambling, "and I'm worried about...well, the rest isn't your business really..."
Ruby sighed and laid her head on his shoulder. He turned a light shade of pink, feeling her warm breath on his skin.
"You're so sensitive...when you wanna be..."
"What? Where'd that-"
"And nice..."
"Huh?"
She breathed deeply and hugged his arm. Nall looked at her, puzzled.
"Can I tell you something?"
"Uh, sure."
"Promise not to laugh okay?"
"Okay."
"Alright...Nall...I think I'm in love," she said nervously.
He felt her recoil, awaiting his conviction. But he just patted her on her head and sighed.
"That's a good thing...why would I laugh at something like that?" he said nicely.
'Is she telling me she loves Hiro? Why would she tell me that? She already knows that I hate that she thinks that way 'cause I don't want her hurt. So why is she telling me this? Girls are so weird!' he thought.
"But you know that if it's Hiro, you'll get your heart broken very badly when he dies...maybe before then."
Ruby turned so she was facing Nall. He made a short "hum" of confusion as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She put her hands on his shoulders, pulled him down to her level, and put her lips on his. Nall blinked and turned scarlet, as she broke the kiss and looked away from him. She too, was blushing.
"Wha?"
"I think I'm in love with you..." she whispered.
"Oh..."
Tears streamed down her face and she started crying. Nall frowned.
"Why are you crying?"
"Because I know you don't feel the same way...I hate it!"
"I never said that I didn't, actually," Nall said matter-of- factually, "stop putting words in my mouth."
"So do you?"
"Do I what?"
"Don't play stupid, fool! Do you feel the same way!?" Ruby yelled.
"Oh...I suppose so..." Nall said, "yeah...I love you too..."
Ruby smiled and threw her arms around his neck, making Nall stumble and fall back. They laid there for a moment before they got up. Nall laid back against the wall again while Ruby sat beside him, leaning against him.
"Thank you..." Nall said as he closed his eyes.
"For what?"
"For assuring me know I'll never be lonely again..."
She kissed him on the cheek and put her head on his chest. Nall, without hesistation, put his arms around her waist in a warm, gentle embrace and laid his head on hers.
'I'm sorry Luna. Thank you too.'
They remained there and fell asleep. Yira appeared at looked the two dragons sleep. She glared at them.
"I should take you're Aura right now you little hellcat...but I'll wait until it would hurt more..."
She sighed.
"When will someone love me?"
Yira turned around and smirked. She looked over her at the sleeping couple before she disappeared.
Meanwhile, Ebony slowly walked into Sapphiren and Ronfar's room. She looked at Ronfar for a bit, listening to his random mumbles about Mauri, then turned to Sapphiren. He was sleeping peacefully.
"It's been a while Sapphiren," she whispered, "I wonder when you're going to tell me how you feel. I know you know how I feel...then again, you aren't that bright. Hm hm...Well, I'll just tell you while you're sleep...I love you and I hope you feel the same way."
She sighed, took his hand, and rubbed it.
"You're so cute and adorable! And you always know how to make me laugh..."
On que, he snorted and started clawing the air with his free hand. Ebony sweatdropped and patted his hand as he growled in his sleep.
"What the...?" she said looking at him confused. Then she snickered, "oh well. Good night my crazy sweetheart."
She got up and left him to his crazy night terrors.
Note: Aw...night terrors. Anyway, review and tell me what you think. Constructive critism welcome ^_^. Flames, not welcome.
