A/N Hello wonderful readers! I come bearing another chapter of The Reborn King...a couple of days late. I blame it on a mix of WiFi problems, me being lazy, and me being busy. Sorry about that. It may have also been my discovery of the Kingdoms Craft server on Minecraft PE...*sigh*
I don't own Minecraft. The rights for it belong to Microsoft, and I don't even own Steve or Herobrine. Wish I owned the rights to the latter, at least….Anyhow, onto the guest reviews!
Ravenstar-You'll find out this story's newest addition soon, my friend. *grins evilly* Like really soon. I blame Levi's reading choices on me watching too much anime, him being…well, him, and me trying to do a humorous scene. Random portal jumping! Yeah! *jumps into a random portal before appearing on the other side of the room* That was awfully disappointing.
Chapter 5:
Crushes
Herobrine gaped at the human-hybrid. As it stepped nervously in the moonlight, it was revealed that it had a gender. Female. Tail twitching anxiously behind her, she watched the deity with curiosity in her dark blue eyes.
"Wh-What are you?" He stammered, quite unlike how she had heard about him. But then again, she was one to keep an open mind. After all, she thought as her tail once again swished behind her, she wasn't exactly normal anymore either.
"I think I'm a neko..." She trailed off, pushing a stray strand of her blond hair out of her face.
Herobrine blinked. "You don't look like you have any problems with your neck...If anything, you look more cat to me."
Stunned that he had no idea what she was talking about, she laughed. "A cat is a neko. It's a Japanese word."
"Japanese?"
"Never mind." She had learned in her first hour or two here that the places that she knew well were unknown to the inhabitants of this world. It pained her to think that she was the only person on this whole entire planet that knew of her world. Luckily for the half-human, her thoughts returned to the thoughts of Herobrine.
What was someone supposed to do when they were confronted by the ruler of every single mob in Minecraft? It was the same as the Greek gods that she had read about not long ago, she realized. If you angered them, they wouldn't hesitate to hit you with a bolt of lightning, or turn you into a plant. Even though she doubted that those sort of powers were within Herobrine's reach, the point was that it wasn't wise to anger Herobrine, King of the Nether.
Levi's jaw had dropped for multiple reasons. The first was because she was half-cat. The second was because of the fact that this mysterious girl was the most beautiful creature that he had ever seen.
She had curious, intelligent blue eyes-Not sky blue like Elf Boy's, but a rich, dark blue. They had a strange cat-like appearance to them, and as he looked at her, he noticed that they had small flecks of gold spread throughout. They were like, in his eyes, the twinkling stars in the night sky above them.
Her long blond hair could be compared to gold. It glittered and shined in the gentle moonlight enveloping the two of them. She wore only a small white dress, her white-tipped golden tail lazily going from side to side as her small cat ears twitched from the midst of her wavy hair.
To put it simply, Levi had, at the age of nineteen, finally developed a crush on someone. And because of the that, the teenager had not a single clue what to say after he got out his question of what she was.
The girl shifted uncomfortably under his gaze, and he quickly glanced away. He never acted like this before, not when he was with Steve, and not when he was teasing Elf Boy in the short time that they had known each other. You see, dear readers, despite our revelation earlier, Levi still had not a single clue why he was acting and thinking this way.
His gaze returned to her as she started to speak. "Why are you out here?" He blinked, stunned by her question. It was pretty obvious, wasn't it? She had been watching him the whole time- "I mean, I'm not trying to interfere with your life!" She added quickly.
He stared at her.
"I'm sorry, but I've never been before a god before, and I'm not quite sure how to act!" She apologized, eyes trained down on the ground.
Levi finally found his voice. "I'm not a god." He managed to get out.
"You're not?" She questioned, hesitantly raising her head back up. "But what else could you be? The myths say that Herobrine is like a god of Minecraft. I've even heard him being referred to as the god of the hostile mobs."
Finally, it all clicked. Her nervous behavior made sense-Only hours before Elf Boy had acted similar when she had seen his white eyes. He quickly slipped back on his sunglasses, despite the dangers of the hostile mobs attacking him when his eyes were hidden. "I'm not Herobrine."
"But the-But the eyes-"
"They're my eyes. I don't care if they're Herobrine's too." He replied hotly. The girl looked slightly taken back, then regained her composure.
Almost unsure of what she should do, she awkwardly held out her hand. "My name is NaomiMinez. Naomi for short. It's not my real name-" Levi once again stared at her, his eyebrows drawn together and his brow furrowed as he looked at her in confusion. "It's complicated."
Levi shook her hand. "My name is Levi Novelo. Steve Addams and I own this land, now apparently along with Elf Boy." It was Naomi's turn to be confused. "She has gender problems." He explained simply, confusing Naomi even further. But then suddenly, an emotion flashed on her face. What it was, Levi wasn't quite sure.
"It's nice to meet you, Levi." She said slowly, almost as if she was lying. "I hope that we can be good friends!"
