No warnings as of yet, except there's more of my scary sense of humor
here. ^_~ Now, there might be some sexual content further along in the
story, but for right now I'm just doing the good storyteller thing and
building up to it. The guy who wrote 'Tropic of Cancer' (I can't
remember his name.) said to take your time. So that's what I'm going.
Besides, I like flirting with Yoji. ^_^ And teasing Schwarz, which will
come later.
~*~
"Mom! I'm going out for some .... uh, something. I'll know when I find
it." I say as I walk out the door. I can here mom say something about me
being way too strange for a business partner. Then I leave.
Halfway down the street, as I was walking oh so casually, singing the
tune to 'Oh What A Beautiful Morning', I was stopped by someone shorter
than I.
"Hey little girl." It was some strange little old man. With a really
wicked look in his eye. "Wanna see something different?" He asked as he
hands went to the trench coat he was wearing.
I immediately freak out and wave my hands frantically.
"Nonononononononono, pah-leeeeez, for the love of good China Ware! I beg
of you!"
I must have acted like I was going to make a break for, because he look
frightened suddenly and grabbed my wrist. "No, wait. I'm sorry, you
don't understand." I stopped and looked at him. Not screaming anymore.
He shook his arm and a small device fell into the palm of his hand. "I'm
selling Space and Time Travelers." He smiled brightly.
Thunk! I died. Feet twitching in the air.
The old man looked down at me with concern, then helped me up. As far as
I'm concerned, I have no legs. -.-;;
"Are you all right?" He really sounded like he cared. I said yeah, and
he offered me the traveler again. Managing not to fall on my face again
I decided to give his contraption a look see. I took it in my hand and
looked it over. Funny, how it looked almost exactly like a digivice. Or
whatever those things are that the Digikids use. I feel like I'm
spelling something wrong.
"A traveler?" I asked. He nodded. I felt a Sailor Moon episode coming
on. "Like a drink you take from a party?" Me thinks I heard an atom bomb
drop. I look over and down to see the guy on his face with his butt in
the air. Well, I was right about one thing I grimaced as I stared at his
naked bum. mentally beats the shit out of self*
Man pops up. "No, no, no." He took it from me. "It's a device that
allows you to travel through space and/or time." I watched as he hit a
button on the side of it and little image popped up in the middle of
it's tiny screen.
Once again, I freaked. But I didn't fall. Aren't you proud o' me? ^_^ I
stared long and hard. It ... it ... was some of the boys from vice ...
eer I mean Weiß. "Yadda, yadda .... *gulp* are those real?"
"In their dimension." He grinned with upside down, half moon eyes.
I gave him an extremely exasperated look. "WELL ... DUH!" I screamed. He
cringed.
He waved his arms frantically. "Nooooo, you didn't let me finish." I
calmed, and told his to finish or he would become a little less of a
man, by a few inches that is. @.@ "Well, you see, by touching this
device you installed your likes and dislikes into it." My eyes widen.
"And then you set these little buttons here. The white one for your
likes and the black one for your dislikes. It then takes you to the home
dimension of that .... thing." He made a face, pointing at the device.
"Whatever it is that's swamping your brain so much that it's the only
thing that got down loaded onto this thing."
I put a hand to the back of my head and laughed. "Yeah, well, you know
how it is to be a kid." He just gave me a look. Then gave me the device.
Here, try it out. I know I can trust you to give it back to me. Oh,
that's another thing. It has a timer on it. When your time is up you
will be automatically transported back here."
"O...kay. A free trial, hey?"
He nodded and put his hands in his pockets. "Have a nice trip."
Not thinking one little bit about the consequences I hit the white
button.
Uhm, swirly, sliding stuff happened. You know, like in the show Sliders.
Hey, cool! I was sliding! Trippy. ^_^V
Suddenly..... Oh, my here was the end of the slide and... WHAM! On my
butt I landed. On concrete no doubt. I moaned in pain as I rubbed my
sore little ...err thankfully cushioned, very well padded *smiles* bum.
A noise then, like something making a bewildered sound in their throat.
And the sound of metal sliding out of something metal. I looked up. OH
FOR THE LOVE OF ....!
Farfello, yes my dears I mean the white/silver haired, one eyed, knife
licking sociopath. I now know how those people felt in the movies when
they were so scared that they couldn't even move. Not only do I have a
good sense of humor but I know when to be scared as hell too.
He held the blade close to him, near his face as he looked at me. I ...
I think he was trying to figure me out. *hufmp* Good luck Irish boy,
even I can't do that. And I've had nineteen years to do it. Eeek! Enough
about me, he was coming closer.
"Are you an angel from God?"
*meep?* 'Wasn't ready for that was ya, girl?' 'You should have been,
you DITZ!' 'Oh, shut up, all you voices in my head. Unless you know of a
way out of this tell me now or forever hold your peace!' 'Well,' one
voice thought out loud. 'The device was surpose to take you to the thing
you liked.' 'I think it's broken.' He was coming closer and I still
hadn't answered.
"I asked you are you sent by God?!" He looked angry. 'How can you
tell?' "You fell out of the sky,..... are you a fallen angel." With a
delicate smile he traced a line down his cheek with his knife. *gulp*
I still didn't answer. Didn't know how. Yeah, of course I could have
said no, but then what should I tell him then? "Oh, no. You see this
wack of an old man gave me a magical traveling thingy that ..." Oh crap!
He might turn that into something about God too. Knowing him.
Finally fed up with me, he came at me. "Don't move!" I heard someone
holler. Good little me, I didn't move. Like, did I have a choice? I was
petrified. Something caught him in the cheek just before his blade
touched me. I watched him as he fell to the ground across from me. He
didn't make a sound to show the wound in his shoulder *shoulder?* hurt,
he just reached pulled out something that looked like a tear drop shaped
blade. And looked back at me, then behind me. He stood.
"We knew you'd come." Farfarello was talking to someone behind me. I
got the nerve enough to turn my head with a shaky movement. Just to see
Omi rush to my side. Face serious.
"Are you ok?" He was careful to keep the maniac in view. I nodded.
"Good, then go with him" he motioned to someone else coming from behind.
"You'll be alright." And he was moving in front of Farfarello with Aya
who'd appeared from God's know were.
Someone touched my arm and I jumped, hissing in air. "It's ok, I won't
hurt you." Standing right by my side was Yoji. *jump jump jump for joy*
His eyes were soft and smile light. I couldn't help it, I smiled too and
nodded despite myself. That soft face lit up. And he ushered me out of
the alley way I had landed in.
I ended up on the corner in the street light with Yoji holding me, I was
still shaking. Me need comfort. ^_^ I looked up as he gazed down at me.
"Do you need a ride to your place?" *_*
Not even thinking about it I said, "I don't have a place."
I knew right away that he'd misunderstood me. "Your homeless." I was
right. His face went sad. And even sadder as I folded up my arms against
a sudden night chill. Quickly he took off his long jacket and folded me
up in it. Yes, I would have fainted, but he didn't have on that lovely
black cut off that I loved so very much. Just a plain black long sleeved
T. So I stayed conscious for the moment.
Suddenly Omi and Aya came from the alley. Omi looked at Aya as they
approached us. Like he knew about the coming storm. It had sent him an
e-mail. "You might wanna get out of the way. I'm coming in for a
landing."
Yoji spoke first though. "She doesn't have any place. I'll take her back
to my place until she gets some food and rest. Then ..."
"Fine with me." Omi, Yoji and Ken (don't ask me where he came from, I
didn't see him) looked at Aya in surprise.
"What is it?" Ken asked. He took the ear piece out and put it away.
Aya just kept looking at me. God's, he could be creepy sometimes.
"While me and Omi had been fighting Farfarello, Crawford showed up.
Farfarello told him something about a bright light, then a girl that had
fallen out of the sky. Called her a fallen angel." I received glances.
"To make it a short story, Schwarz is now looking for you."
"What?! Those wacko's?!" I looked back and forth. Yoji held me closer.
Wow, he was nice with the ladies. ^_~
"Fallen Angel?" Omi said.
"Bright light. Falling from the sky?" Ken tuned in.
"I believe the Angel bit." Yoji smiled down at me. I blushed, rosy red.
Aya just shook his head. "I don't know about any of that. I'd rather
hear if from you, the story as you know it." So serious.
I was walked to the flower shop, then to Yoji's apartment *grin* where I
got a shower and hot cup of soup. *grin some more* Omi had sat with us
until he had to leave. Aya had given me the night to compose myself then
he wanted to here my story as soon as possible. Every one was calling me
Angel, since I couldn't seem to drag my own name from my lips. Omi had
given me that story about him losing his memory. I knew that, but they
thought I was strange already. No need to add to the list. The theory
between me, Omi and Yoji -me and Omi mainly- is that I had a block
caused by some trauma. I had had trauma alright.
Hee hee, just remembered. I'm in a room alone with Yoji. Oh, I feel I've
lived for this moment all my blue eyed life. *sigh* A warm hand took
mine and I looked up from the mug I'd been staring at. His face was
somewhat near mine. It wasn't like he was invading my space or anything,
not really. Not yet. ^_^
"It must be hard to live out on the street by your self." He looked so
concerned.
"So far it is," I said truthfully.
He squeezed my hand lightly, something moved behind his eyes. A memory.
Great, he was having a flashback. You can't fool me, I know that look.
"You don't have to ..."
I caught him before he had to say it him self. "No, I'm not a
prostitute." Either it was just me, or he let out a breath he'd been
secretly holding. Or maybe he was hopping that I was a prostitute. Ah,
who knows. Either way I wouldn't be surprised. This was Yoji after all.
I'm surprised he hadn't pulled a Fabio thing on me already. Hadn't had
enough time I guess.
Then suddenly, "So how old are you? What's your sign?" *pop* he was back
into character.
I laughed, my hands out of his and in my lap, I rock to the side then
straitened back up again. "Men." A smile was planted firmly on my face.
Then it took a dive when as he took my hands again, looking me very
much in...the....eye. And said, "No really. What's your stats?" He gazed
lustfully at me.
"Uhm," I faltered. Then I just blubbered out, "I'm nineteen, an Aries
and you're making me uncomfortable." Damn it! Why'd I say that?
But he took it rather well, sitting back a bit and letting go of my
hands. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to." He took my empty mug and stood
up. "Would you like some more soup?"
I felt itchy again, like I had before the shower. Didn't feel like
taking another. Lazy me. Maybe it was just this strange tiredness that
just seemed to come with the dimensional traveling thing. Looking up at
him, I felt like such the little girl I still was. "Guess I just wanna
go to bed."
He walked with me as a made my way over to his bed, he was going to
sleep on small couch he hand in place. So gentlemanly. My feet felt like
sand bags as I stumbled a bit. Yoji caught me. Holding me until I found
my balance on the bed. Putting a hand to my head. "I'm just so tired."
That got me a look. "You don't think you fell, do you? Farfarello did
say you fell, ... maybe from one of the buildings? Could have hit your
head and you might have a concussion" He all but poked at my head.
Looking for the wounds that weren't there I guess.
"No." I sighed. "My butt broke my fall."
Yoji made a little 'O' with his mouth accompanied by a painful look. He
stopped suddenly. Just squatting there by the bedside. He looked at me
numbly and asked, "You're not going to tell me what happened are you?"
"I don't know how yet."
"But you will ...."
"As soon as I know how."
"Promise?"
I nodded and grinned, making the cross shape over my heart. "Cross my
heart and ..."
Yoji put a finger to my lips. "Don't finish that."
Honestly, I don't remember falling asleep.
