They sat in shock. Zain woke again, he couldn't sleep. Grabbing his lance and guitar he headed out. Standing under a tree, ironically on the way to Yuki's house, he played a soft tune. He didn't know Yuki lived here, he just wanted to play somewhere where no one would find him.
They gaped at her, "Nice?! That guys a nut! C'mon Yuki, admit it. He's got purple eyes and purple hair. He's not even normal!" The other boy rubbed his hand, "He nearly broke my hand. All we wanted to do was talk to him."
Two of the boys Zain had fought stumbled into Yuki. They didn't apologize and instead went into a rant about Zain, "That guy tried to kill us. Yuki, you're in his class right? He's crazy isn't he?"
Lightning jumped back beside Leo, the Behemoth weakly growling. She looked at him"He should be f-" she didn't finish her sentence as the Behemoth roared loudly and stood up, seeming to heal all it's wounds. Light sighed, brushing her hair from her eyes and nodded at Leo, "Follow me, closely." She ran back at the Behemoth, she tensed and launched it upwards with a strong kick and slash. Akira struggled against Ryou, "Lightning! She needs my help! I have to help her, let me go!"
Zain felt slightly guilty for using a weapon against these boys but he'd had enough. They backed away slowly, except for the one Zain was gripping his fist. "C'mon, man, we didn't mean anything horrible by it. Just sayin...." Zain dropped his lance, angling his foot up to catch it and let the boy go, "I don't ever want to see your face outside of school again, ya hear?!" They nodded and he just knew everyone would be talking about this tomorrow. He climbed through his window to his room and settled in for sleep without dinner. Taking his punishment for fighting to heart...again.
He kissed her, "You're too good for me. I'd hate for my gloom and doom personality to rub off on you. Mya, you let me do all the changing. Never change my precious Mya."
Zain's journey home was almost uninterrupted, "Look its the freak!" Zain stopped and narrowed his purple eyes on the boys from school, "Am I really that different from you?" he taunted them and one swung at him. Catching his fist in his hand, Zain pulled his lance off his back and pointed one sharp point of it at him. "You don't want to mess with me today." OOC: it looks like Xaldin's lance in KH2
Zain stood still, arguing with the invisible Orphan until he shook his head and started again for home. His purple hair standing out drastically with the scenery.
Lightning growled at them, "Get Akira out of here! I've taken down bigger things than a Behemoth." She ran at the Behemoth, her Army of One ability flaring as she hit the Behemoth several times with her punches, kicks and her blade. Time seemed to slow drastically as she attacked the thing.
Zain sighed, "They at least look like they're having fun. Unlike when I train with you, Orphan." Orphan hissed at him and gave him an image of how he looked for the moment, his bright blue eyes burning with an old anger, "Don't compare them to me. Zain sighed and pushed his lance into the ground, "I suppose...they're just better friends. Everyone I call friend ends up dying."
Zane affectionately watched Mya pack before he realized he looked like a stalker. "Mya...I...I apologize for getting so riled this morning and fighting Zee. But when you wake up to someone in your room, you have to see why I'd get so mad. I should learn to control my temper better and for that I am sorry."
Grumbling in anger, Zain scrubbed the floor of the kitchen before ditching his work, grabbing his lance and running, unknowingly to where Yuki and Sakuya were training. He stopped to catch his breath and watched the girls fight. Orphan's hissing stopped and he spoke clearly, They don't have a filthy woman telling them to do choressss. Why musst you alwaysss return to that place?
Light refrained from smiling at him and suddenly a roar of a Behemoth jolted her from her memories of Serah. "Akira..." She ran towards the sound and what she hoped wasn't Akira lying on the ground bleeding. Akira panted and weakly dodged another slash, "You just don't give up do you?" She fell back onto the ground as a giant paw came down to crush her... Lightning stopped those grimy claws from touching Akira with her gunblade and easily slid one hand from her blade and cast Firaga into it's stomach making it yowl in pain and jerk back from Light. "Akira, stand up!"
Zain strummed his guitar in a song he'd written, humming the nonexistent lyrics. Orphan hissed again and he stood, "Yeah, I know. Lady Shiv will be pissed if I'm late for my chores again." He walked to the Orphanage and was greeted with a frowning gray haired elderly lady. "Morning Lady Shiv." She slapped him, "It's the afternoon you selfish boy."
Zee nodded and watched her go before walking down to the bathing room and sitting next to Zane, "You gonna talk to Mya about what happened? I think she'd like you to." Zane nodded and stepped out, "I should. I'll go now if you promise to pay for our lodgings on the ship." Zee laughed and nodded.
Light stared at Serah's present in Ryou's hand. "Serah...Yeah, it's mine. My sister gave it to me for my brithday...a long time ago." She took the knife from him and lovingly flicked the blade out and pushed it closed before pocketing it. "Thank you, Ryou." Akira dodged the Behemoth's claws and gnashing teeth and cut into it's shoulder. Jumping away from it, she still wasn't out of it's long reach. The Behemoth slashed the air in front of her and she yelped.
Zee grinned and hugged her back, "I'm just being the brother Zane wishes he had. Even though he won't admit it." he let her go and pushed her out the door, "Now you go and do whatever. I've gotta find that ungrateful captain of our ship." Zane closed his eyes and let the steam ease the tension from him.
Light turned on her heel to look at Ryou, "I'm fine. It's you who should be concerned for yourself. Even still as humans, you can't fight them. Crystal l'Cie are stronger than you by tenfold and even faster than I am." She dug in her pocket, as if looking for something. Lightning scolded herself silently for letting Serah's present fall out of her pocket. Akira was knocked backwards to the ground to avoid being sheaded by those giant claws. It's sharp claws came down on her and she pulled her gunblade up to block it. Using all her strength to keep it away from her. "This can't be good." Wedging her blade down a little to dig it into the pad of it's giant paw it pulled back to claw her into the ground and she rolled away. Large claw marks dug into the ground where she had just been lying. Akira jumped to her feet, "You want a piece of me, big boy? Bring it on!"
Zee couldn't stand to watch both of his friends fall apart, "Hey now, Zane'll be alright. He's a guy, he needs to vent somedays." he cracked a smile, "I remember when we went to visit my cousin Svianna, she's a loony toon but she's got a way of making me feel like I'm not worth anything. A while before he took to following you around, he came with me to visit her. Like usual she made me feel like crap but when we left he started making jokes. He said, "I feel like there's crazy on me." I swear I hadn't laughed so hard in my life. But we were young and it's not so funny now that she'd dead." Zee ruffled Mya's hair, "He'll be back to his old self once we get out of here. Haru...well he's the only thing Zane's got and to find out he's a Templar is disturbing." Zane soaked in the bath and remembered the same story Zee had told. "I do feel like there's crazy on me..." He dipped his head into the warm water and sighed, "Uncle Haru...father was right not to trust him. A Templar in our family...almost makes me ashamed to be called by my birth name."
Avoiding my brother.
