Aurore's Moemon Adventure

Chapter 23

"So, how are you guys doing?" Aurore asked, walking out of the elevator.

"Master!" Sora said, turning to her, her eyes lighting up. She ran over to Aurore, hugging him.

"Hey, hey, you're getting me wet!" Aurore chuckled, smiling.

"So, who's this cutie?" Sakura asked, walking out of the elevator after Aurore.

"I'm Sora." Sora answered, staring at Sakura, as if she was unsure of what she was seeing.

"Hi there, Sora!" Sakura said, reaching out her hand, smiling. Sora slowly reached out her hand and shook hands with Sakura. However, a wave of pain shot between them, the two pulling their hands back.

"What was that?" Sora asked, staring at her hand, frowning.

"I… I don't know…" Sakura said, frowning.

"Master, I don't like her." Sora said, turning away, frowning, a rare occurrence for her. "I don't know why, but I really don't like her."

"Hey, listen-" Sakura started, grabbing Sora's wrist as she turned away.

"Ow!" The two said in unison, pulling away from each other, Sakura holding her hand, Sora cradling her wrist.

"Master, why'd you let her stay here?" Bluebell asked, running up, frowning. "You've already got me! You don't need anyone else around!"

"I'm inclined to agree." Lilligant said, frowning. "While I don't mind the presence of the little brat here…"

"Hey!" Bluebell said, reacting angrily to Lilligant's smirk in her direction.

"…I must say I don't like the idea of having to share you with someone else." Lilligant said, frowning.

"Hey, listen, it's not like that!" Aurore said, frowning. "There's nothing going on between us!"

"Right!" Sakura said, smiling. "Besides, if there was, my dad would probably torture you until you died!"

"Well, that might be a problem, because Aurore can't die." Lulu said, walking up to join the group, smirking.

"He can't?" Sakura asked, surprised. "Seriously?"

"Nope." Lulu said, pointing a gun at Aurore's head, shooting him. "He can't."

"Are you insane?" Aurore exclaimed, clutching the bleeding side of his head. "You just shot me, you psycho!"

"Oh please, the bullet just grazed you." Lulu yawned. "Besides, that wouldn't be enough to kill you."

"No, but it sure hurts like hell!" Aurore exclaimed, his eyes growing bleary from blood loss. A few seconds later, he passed out.

"Oh my god, is he okay?" Sakura asked, kneeling next to him.

"Oh, yeah, he'll be fine." Lulu shrugged, nodding. "Probably. He'll probably be fine."

"Are you sure?" Sakura asked, looking up at Lulu.

"Maybe. He may be fine." Lulu said. "Possibly. He'll possibly be fine."

"…" The two said, staring at each other for a long beat.

"Definitely not." Lulu answered. "He will definitely not be fine."

"…So, Sakura, what're you doing in Castelia?" Lulu asked, changing the subject, smiling.

"Oh, nothing much." Sakura said, smiling. "I'm just getting my start as an actress!"

"An actress?" Lulu asked, surprised.

"Yes!" Sakura said, her body glowing with a light so bright, Lulu had to shield her eyes. "For years, it's been my dream to-"

"Okay, okay, got it." Lulu said, clamping her hand over Sakura's mouth. "You don't need to go into any big long speeches."

"But-" Sakura started, Lulu silencing her with a glare.

"No long speeches." Lulu said, frowning.

"Why not?" Sakura asked, frowning.

"Well, your aura flares up whenever you talk about your dreams, it's kind of unnerving." Lulu said, holding her hand over her mouth.

"Wait, aura?" Sakura asked, frowning. "You can read people's auras?"

"Yeah, I can." Lulu said, nodding. "Your aura is really amazing, the exact opposite of Aurore's."

"Why, what's Aurore's aura?" Sakura asked, curious.

"I already explained it in the other story, so there's no reason to waste valuable word space explaining it again." Lulu sighed.

"Other story? Word space?" Sakura asked, tilting her head to the side, confused.

"…Oh bullocks…" Lulu said, face palming. "Sharp as a bloody marble, that's what you are… The exact opposite of Aurore."

"Um… Okay…" Sakura said, shrugging.

"Alright, Aurore's gonna be fine." Sora said, walking back to the two of them. However, she held back away from Sakura, staring at her, frowning. Sakura also looked a little tense, staring at Sora, but she soon redirected her attention back to Lulu.

"So, why's my aura the opposite of Aurore's?" Sakura asked.

"Oh, are you gonna read her aura?" Sora asked excitedly. "I wonder what hers is…"

"Let's see…" Lulu said, narrowing her eyes, staring at Sakura. "Whoa."

"What?" Sakura asked, clueless. Through Lulu's eyes, she could see that Sakura was surrounded by a whitish-silver outline of light that seemed to shine with thousands of sparkles. It seemed as though she was surrounded by an almost holy halo of light.

"Nothing…" Lulu said, frowning. "It's just… it's the first time I've seen someone who's aura's as pure as yours is."

"What do you mean, pure?" Sakura asked.

"Well, let me explain it." Lulu said. "See, your aura is a kind of whitish-silver. That means you have a very… interesting personality."

"Is that bad?" Sakura asked, frowning.

"Not necessarily." Lulu said, shaking her head. "White means that you've either gone through intense effort to cleanse yourself of impurities or you're some sort of holy figure. And I find those both hard to believe. No, white means that you posses unbelievable amounts of both purity and truth, and reject the absence of that in others. You dislike being kept in the dark, and you hate being around impure or corrupted people."

"That explains a lot…" Sora said, frowning. "Since I'm a dark type, your goodness and my darkness must have immediately rejected each other…"

"Perhaps…" Lulu said, nodding. "Or she could have been subconsciously picking up on corruption or evil within your body."

"Hey!" Sora exclaimed, frowning.

But now, it's sad, but there's no way I can picture her being in a relationship with Aurore… Lulu thought, smiling sadly.

"Hey, so what about my silver color?" Sakura asked excitedly, already completely wrapped up in the discussion.

"Well, silver means someone is either pregnant or soon to conceive..." Lulu answered.

"What?" Sakura asked, shocked. "I haven't even begun my acting career yet, and I've already got a pregnancy scandal?"

"…But that's not the case here." Lulu finished. "Since your aura is also accompanied by twinkling lights, I think it's most likely that you're in the process of discovering new talents and new creative measures…"

"Oh, like my acting!" Sakura said, smiling.

"Yes." Lulu said, nodding. "However, I think that we're going to have a problem…"

"What?" Sakura asked, frowning.

"Your white versus Aurore's black…" Lulu said, frowning. "I can't help but wonder how they'll mix with each other… And I can't help but worry about it…"

"Oh, that's not a problem." Sakura said, kneeling down next to Aurore, smiling.

"Why not?" Lulu asked, surprised.

"Because I think I might be starting to fall in love with him a little!" Sakura said, smiling cheerfully.

". . . What . . . ?" Sora asked, staring at Sakura as if her entire world had come crumbling down around her.

EoS: Yes, what indeed.

Lauren: Poor Sora…
