Me: Hi! Here's chapter 7~ I don't own the song. Enjoy~
….
It's already been two days since I told Sync we would be staying, and today I was going to drag him around. It seems the city is holding an event of people selling their items, and I wanted to see them all. So when Sync took one step into our shared room, I grabbed his hand and dragged him right back outside walking through the crowd ignoring his protests. I finally stopped at the first stand of merchants selling their items. Not realizing my hand was still holding Syncs even when I let go to pick up the item I didn't take notice of him staring at the hand I held just seconds ago.
"Look, Sync! Isn't it cute~?" I turn to hold up the cute plush of a cheagle that reminded me of Mieu but green like Sync's hair, even his eyes reminded me of his! It looks grumpy like him too~
"Seriously...?" He said with a deadpan look. "It's just a stupid toy how is that thing cute?" He huffs crosses his arms turns his head away, making me frown, and then smirk.
I poke his shoulder causing him to look back at me but instead of seeing my face, I shove the plush toy of the cheagle right into his face and low and high pitch close to Mieu's cute voice.
"Don't be grumpy like me, Sync! Smile~! A smile makes people happy~."
"..."
"Come on~! Let's see your best smile, soldier!" I did my best to hold back the laugh, but it was impossible. I felt like a kid and didn't care I looked like a fool.
Sync stood there silent, I peeked behind the cheagle plush toy and it happened. My mind was blown, I was hearing something better than my singing; his laughter. I felt heat growing on my cheeks, I quickly hid my red cheeks and pulled the cheagle plush toy in front of my face.
"You are one strange girl. Hey, why are you hiding behind that plush toy for?"
"N-no reason. I just um...y-you laughed so it freaked me out." That was all I could say, I couldn't tell him I was blushing cause I enjoyed his laughter! I would be such a weirdo if I told him that.
I hear him snort, as I peek behind the cheagle plush toy slightly to see him shake his head with his hands up like Jade does to do his mock shrug.
"You are strange."
I huffed, and pulled the plush toy down against my chest, hugging it protectively.
"Hey! I'm not strange!" I pouted, huffed again turning my head away and my nose in the air. "Jerk."
"Humph could've fooled me with those red cheeks." He points out smirking.
"Gah! Sh-shut it! I can't help it!" I squeaked out hiding my face with the cheagle plush toy again.
It happened again when he laughed, oh dear Yulia smite me now! Why do I feel this way? How can he stir up such emotion in me, with just a smile, or laugh? After I calmed my warm cheeks, I placed the plush toy down on the table feeling sad I couldn't get the cutie, mostly because it reminded me of Sync.
"Come on, let's go to the next one."
Without looking at him, I walked to the next stand that was selling accessories for protection, and such. What I didn't notice was a certain God-Genaurol took the plush toy. I picked up a ribbon placed it back down, then picked up a bracelet.
After hours of going to each table stand, nothing else caught my eye other than that cheagle plush toy, and that cool dagger but of course I can always make my own, thanks to my special ability. We were walking back to the Inn, and we talked about anything that came to my mind while eating pizza. Well, more like I talked and he listened. I tried to get him to talk but he was resistant until he finally gave in when I asked him a certain question I was curious about.
"Hey um...ignore this question if this is too personal, but; what do you remember when you woke up after being created?"
We were in our shared room, I was sitting on my bed's edge while he was lying down with his hands behind his head, mask off his eyes closed but they snapped open when I asked that question.
"Why do you want to know," He sat up narrowing his eyes.
I shrug, pushing some of my blue hair behind my ear.
"Like I said, if you don't feel comfortable don't tell me I'll understand." I wave my hands in front of me smiling at him.
He was quiet for a while until he let out a sigh moving around so he was sitting like me facing me, he had a conflicted and pained look that he changed to a cold hardened look.
"That bastard Grand Maestro Mohs used fomicry to create a series of seven replicas of the original Fon Master Ion in an attempt to replace him, and I was one of those, along with the Ion you know now."
My eyes widened as he talked, I was flabbergasted and horrified. Mohs truly is a monster, using such a thing. I kept listening as he continued telling me when he woke up as a replica.
"The Ion now, became the successful replica of the original Fon Master, so the rest of the replicas - including me, were disposed of by being thrown alive into the Mt. Zaleho volcano. We were disposed of by being thrown alive into the Mt. Zaleho volcano. But me and another Ion replica survived, I don't know what they did to him but Van found me and took me under his wing and now I owe him a debt for saving my pathetic life...if he never found me, I would definitely be dead like the others."
My heart broke at each word, and I teared up. I knew he might be the type of person who hated pity, which I'm not I just wish I could take his pain away- my eyes lit up, and I thought of a way to ease his pain, even a little bit. I closed my eyes gently, opened my mouth, and started to sing.
And all the light will be, will be
And all the future prophecy
And all the waves the sea, the sea
And on the road are you and me
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
And all the winds are like a kiss
And all the years are nemesis
And all the moments fall in mist
And all is dust, remember this
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
And all the light will be, will be
And all the waves, the sea
And all the waves, the sea, the sea
And all the light will be
And all the dust will drift away
And all the nights and all the days
And all the heavens go their way
And only change is here to stay
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
And all the light will be, will be
And all the waves, the sea
And all the waves, the sea, the sea
And all the light will be
And all the stars without a name
And all the skies that look the same
And all the clouds that fade and then
Then all of this begins again
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Mmmhmmm, mmmmmmmmmmmm...
Opening my eyes I stare into his green eyes that widen, feeling shy I push my hair back behind my ear looking away. I'm surprised it didn't affect him like before, maybe because I'm close to him? Or he's not allowing it to affect him?
"Why...did you sing? Not that I mind it, but...why?"
"I wanted to ease your pain...I assume you don't like pity, so I did that to help. Sorry, I caused you to get affected by my voice...it's...it's a pain in my butt..." I smiled but it was strain.
I looked down at my hands that were resting on my lap, and I was picking at my hand out of nervousness.
"...I don't know how it works, but I didn't feel drawn to your voice it was more...normal. I don't know, how to explaine it but your voice...it's relaxing to hear it."
I snap my head up looking at Sync in surprise, seeing him looking away arms crossed and I take notice that his cheeks are red. Making my cheeks grow hot, he complimented my voice but...I look down with sorrow, remembering this isn't my voice it was hers... I tighten my hands into fists on my lap, feeling rage at the fact I couldn't have anything that was mine. It's not fair...
I jump startled by a hand placed on top of my right closed fist, I look up to see Sync on one knee facing me with a stern look.
"You're not Selena The Siren, you are Kairi. The annoying but strange girl who always seems to help others, I don't know why you even want to be my friend in the first place..."
I blush at his kind words, which are rare to hear from someone like him. I smiled softly placing my left hand over his.
"Thanks."
His face turned red, quickly pulled his hand away from my hand and walked back to his bed laid down on it on his side, with his back facing me.
"J-just go to bed." He grumbles making me laugh slightly.
I took my shoes off, placed them on the floor close to the bed, and crawled under the blanket snuggling into the warmth, turning my body on my right side to face Sync's bed and smiling then as I closed my eyes I allowed myself to fall asleep...
