Caretaker

Hugs and Bugs

"Something in the area is blocking us from conducting gates. We need to find out what it is," Matt says angrily.

Little did they know, the red-headed girl had placed two tiny objects on their clothes.

The heat bears down onto the golden-haired Noah as she lays on her motel bed. Matt sits at the small table that is there. They both stare at nothing as the sounds of the market outside fills their room.

"Where could the signal be coming from?" Matt finally asks in frustration. Alli sighs.

"I don't know anymore," she says in defeat.

"We can't just give up now-"

"Of course we can, we could just walk. It's not that difficult."

"Still, we can't just walk home; it would be a death wish."

"You're right, that's why we need to look harder." Silence fills their quarters again. The sounds of the outside come in again. "Who do you think she was, that girl?"

"I have no clue, she seemed alright I guess."

"She didn't seem human, if that's what you mean. I was running as fast as I could, and she countered that just the same. It's weird, she not only seemed like one, but she had the aura of one."

"Of what?"

"An akuma."

"Strange. . ." More silence.

"We need to do something," Alli says finally.

"Well, what would you like to do? We can't go outside; they can probably sense us here," Matt says as he gestures to the window.

"How about some close combat?"

"In this heat?"

"Why not?"

". . . You have a point there." Matt lifts himself from the table and walks over to Alli. He grabs onto both of her arms and pulls. "Come on, up you go-"

"Whoa!" Alli exclaims as he pulls her up quickly. She glares at him. "I could've done that myself, thank you."

"I made it faster for you," Matt says with a smirk. He steps a few inches back. They stand their stance then attack. Alli moves swiftly underneath Matt's punch. She grabs his arm and quickly places it behind his back. She knocks him of his stance and he falls to the floor with a groan.

"Defeated," Alli says whilst lifting up. He lays there motionless. "You all right-"

He quickly snatches her wrist and pulls her to the ground. He places his hand on her throat, then smirks. "Yeah, I'm good."

"Get off," she says with a glare. He lets off and she stands. "I bet I can still beat you."

"Really? And that's going to happen when exactly?"

"Whenever I want it to be."

"Yet every time, you lose."

"Doesn't stop me from trying."

"We'll see about that. . ."

"Yes, we shall." They suddenly kiss. Alli doesn't know what took her over, but it lasted at least a few seconds. They realize what has happened and pull away fast. They quickly let go of each other and stand there awkwardly. Silence and street noises come inside again.

"That was. . . interesting," Alli says finally. Both hearts are beating at over a hundred miles per hour.

"Yes, it was. . . Certainly an eye opener," Matt says with a stutter; his face beet-red.

"I wasn't expecting to do that."

"Neither was I. . ."

"Wow. You guys are really starting to get my interest," Shadow says suddenly. Oh sure, now you talk. . . "Hey, don't be like that."

"Shut up, Majnun!" Matt says angrily. Alli remembers that he has his own little buddy as well. She tries not to laugh. She notices something on Matt's neck. It's small and dark, but not so much noticeable. She walks over to him and plucks it off. He stares at her in surprise.

"Matt, I think I found our jamming signal. . ." Alli says whilst staring at he small object. It appears to be a bug-type machine.

"You have one too," Matt says as he picks one off of her neck. They both stare at the objects, then look to each other. "Let's keep them to show the skulls."

"Definitely."

"How will we deactivate them so we can get out of here?"

"Let's see, shall we?" They both place them on the small table inside their room. Alli grabs a glass that is there to see closer. Technical graphics surround both the bugs. She uses a pen to press one of the buttons. It powers down. She presses the other one, and it turns off as well. "Well, I think that should solve our problems."

"Can you use your barrier now?"

"Let's find out." Alli touches the door and it morphs. It turns into a black door way. "I think so. Let's go!"

Hey look, they kissed! Ha ha, still wondering who that girl is? Well, you'll find out in later chapters. So, what'll happen now that they're "dating"? Find out in the next chapter!
