Csoh: So as you might have seen I have another story going on... Diva Gets A Babysitter... Yeah, I'm working on the nest chapter and that will soon get very exciting. I'm pretty much only saying this so that you'll of course R&R it.
Solomon: (shakes head) You have Saya run off on me and you're more concerned about getting attention to your other stories?! C'mon! Hurry up and have me win her over already!
Csoh: KEEP THAT UP AND HAGI IS DEFINITELY GOING TO WIN HER OVER!

Chapter 5: The Cabin and the Rain
Saya continued to run with her suitcase in tow. It would only be seconds before Solomon found her room empty. Maybe he'll think that I went to sleep and he won't find out till morning..." Saya hurried into the subway and took the one for the outskirts of town. At any rate Solomon would find out and he would search through the whole town.
The compartment on the subway train was almost empty. A few drunks were waddling in their seats as a couple necked in the next seat over. The subway always had the most unusual people at midnight. It was weird how that worked...
With each stop the passengers moved off and onto the compartment until finally they reached the last stop. Saya had never been to this stop before. She looked around at the stark white platform as the other people moved toward the exit... Well most of them. There was one guy who seemed more concerned in yelling.
"THEY'RE REAL I TELL YA! THEY LOOK LIKE HUGE BATS AND THEY GOT HORSE LIKE HEADS AND THERE ROAR'LL MAKE ANY MORTAL DEAF AT THE SOUND!" Passengers started to shake their heads and after several seconds security came and moved him to somewhere else.
Saya still had that man's yelling in her head when she exited the station and started down the road towards Oshawa. It was going to be a long walk, but it was nothing compared to the confusion of staying with Solomon. It almost felt wrong not to at least try and find Hagi again.
Thunder sounded in the distance as Saya continued. Dark clouds covered the moon and the stars from view. Saya tried to hurry to a shelter until she could at least wait out the storm. What was once a clear pleasant evening started to turn into a drizzly night as she started to run. At one point she even stop paying attention to the road. Thunder became louder as the rain poured all around her.
Still there was no end in sight. There was no house nor barn nor anything to protect her from the rain. Lightning stuck in the distance and Saya started to worry. It was still pouring when Saya noticed her hair starting to stand on end. She stopped and tried to pat it down.
CRACK!
Saya felt herself fall into a puddle. Her bag close behind. Just where she had been standing, a rather large hole was smoldering. She looked around for what had made her fall. Right next to her, completely covered in mud was Hagi. He looked completely soaked. Saya felt compelled when she saw that he had mud splatted on his cheek...
Hagi looked up as Saya wiped some mud of the side of his cheek. He hadn't wanted to bother her. He had kept a good distance back when she had started to speed up. He had made sure to stay back, but soon she had started to run. It would have bothered him as much if she hadn't been running towards the storm.
Saya had suddenly stopped running and was trying to flatten her hair. It started to stand on end. Hagi had barely made it before the lightning had struck down. In the process throwing him and Saya into a large ditch that was filling with water.
Now Saya's maroon eyes were brimmed with tears, she still didn't move her hand away from his cheek. Hagi reached up and pulled her hand off his cheek. Saya all but fell against his chest, crying terribly. Hagi pulled her into his arms and picked up her bag. It was one thing to be in th rain, but they needed to get to a dry place to wait for the storm to pass.
He ran with Saya still in tears in his arms. Passed several ponds and creeks that were overflowing with water. Passed trees that rustled in the wind. Passed the wildlife that inhabited the area. Finally Hagi found the cabin that he was staying at. He opened the door with ease as carried his queen in from the fury of the storm.
The fire was dying as he went about trying to rekindle it. He had pulled a blanket around the soaking wet queen. Her tears soon slowing as she warmed up. The cabin was filling with warmth when he pulled her into his arms. His clothes were dripping, but Saya needed the support. She rested her head against her shoulder. She was shivering.
"Saya do you want to change into something dry? You'll catch a cold wearing those clothes right now." Her maroon eyes looked up at him.
"That could go the same for you Hagi." She was trying to cover up her distress.
"Very well then. I'll go into the bedroom to change and you can use the bathroom." He pulled away from her and she hesitated before nodding and heading to the bathroom with her bag.
Hagi resisted the urge to follow and headed instead to the bedroom. His cello case was propped against the wall with some extra clothes in a bag tied to it.
-
"Saya would want you to have extra clothes Hagi." Lulu ran through the store until she had at least half the store in her arms. Kai laughed and pushed him into one of the fitting rooms. His new girlfriend Mao waiting for him to change into the clothes she had picked out for him. He wasn't sure why it was so important for him to have different clothes. His couple outfits were doing their job just fine. The small schiff girl threw the clothes into the fitting room and shut the door behind him.
After several minutes of trying on all the clothes, the two girls had decided he needed most of them and had gotten him a bag for him to carry them in. Kai had been tossed aside after his throwing a black negligee at Mao.
"It'll look good on you-" Mao looked ready to punch him as her face turned beat red.
"WE'RE NOT SHOPPING FOR THAT! Especially not with Lulu." The little purple-haired schiff had been completely confused by why she had been embarrassed.
-
Hagi's thought were ended as he heard Saya return to the other room. He quickly changed and went back in to find Saya staring into the fireplace.
Her face was slightly flushed by the warmth of the fire. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail keeping most of it out of her eyes. She had her arms around her legs. She didn't look up as he sat sown next to her. He pulled the stray hair behind her ear and Saya leaned into his arms. He pulled the blanket over her and they watched the fire burn.
Saya looked up at Hagi. He had decided that they should change into dry clothes and Saya had gone into the bathroom to change. She had moved slow and finally had finished after deciding her hair was beyond fixing while it was wet. She threw it into a quick ponytail and had sat down next to the fireplace.
The cabin was small and the living room was attached to the kitchen with a small table of to the side. The bathroom was next to another doorway that from what Hagi had said was the bedroom. In between the two doors was a staircase. It was completely dark up the stairs and Saya couldn't help but wonder what was up there. Maybe he had dead bodies... or jewels from some rich person's home... or maybe he was an animal breeder and he kept his animals up there... Saya started toward the stairs when she heard Hagi approaching the door. She quickly ran to the fireplace and started to stare into the flames.
The door had opened and Hagi walked over and sat down next to her. She was surprised when after a few seconds he pulled the stray hairs out of her eyes. Without thinking about it she leaned into his arms and soon found herself enclosed in his arms, covered by a blanket. As she now stared at his face, she thought about what Solomon had said. None of it seemed true. Hagi had worried about her getting ran over, he had saved her from being struck by lightning, and even had bothered to worry about her catching a cold.
Eventually Saya felt herself doze off. Hagi's arms were so warm and with every minute that passed Saya felt herself more drawn to the young man. He wasn't telling her she had to do something. He wasn't asking if he looked alright or fixing his hair every five seconds. He seemed content just having her in his arms. Soon Saya felt herself wondering what it would be like if she lived here with him in the solitude of the cabin.
Hagi watched as Saya fell asleep in his arms. She was so beautiful there. He let her stay there until the fire faded into nothing. He then carried her to the bedroom and put her under the covers. He would need to get her something to eat if she was going to stay here. He walked up the stairs and grabbed some stationary and a pen and scribbled down a note for her. It wouldn't take more than a few minutes, but if she woke up alone without a note. She might be worried. He set the note on the nightstand next to her and quickly headed toward Oshawa to get some supplies.
