Chapter 42: Just What are you?
Zoe was walking down the hall towards Takuya's room. He knew that he went to bed but she didn't know if he would be asleep or not. She stopped in front of Takuya's door and stared at the handle. "But what if he doesn't want to talk to me?" She muttered to herself closing her hand and brining it up to her chest.
"Zoe what's wrong? Shouldn't you be in bed?" She jumped and saw Toshiro stopped a couple of feet from her.
"Oh Toshiro, well I could ask you the same question." She stated.
"Hey I might look your age but I'm much older then you are. Besides Tommy's sleeping. So tell me what's going on." Toshiro answered leaning against the wall.
"I just…want to make sure that Takuya isn't mad at me." She answered looking down at the floor.
"I'm sure that he doesn't. Takuya and Sasuke are a lot a like; they don't tend to hold grudges, especially against his won friends. I'm sure that he's not mad." Toshiro noticed that she still looked worried. "He told you earlier that he's not mad didn't he? So why are you still worried?" He asked concerned.
"Well…I guess…" She muttered and rubbed her arm not looking at Toshiro.
"You like him don't you?" Toshiro asked. A small smile appeared across his lips when he saw her blush. "You do like him. So I'm guessing it's Takuya. You just don't want him to be mad at you."
"Please don't tell him Toshiro." She asked.
"I won't." He answered then pushed himself off the wall and put a hand on her head. "Go get some sleep Zoe and talk to Takuya in the morning." He said and she nodded.
"Thank you Toshiro." She muttered then went back to her room.
Toshiro looked at the door. "Sasuke you better get back here before sun rise." Toshiro muttered then went to Tommy's room for the night.
Sasuke skid across the ground and caught himself with his staff. Risa went after Shinya.
"Shinya look out!" Sasuke shouted running over to Shinya. He blocked Risa's attack and Mai tried to get them from behind but he spun and formed a fire ring around them.
"H-How did you do that?" Shinya stuttered.
"I'm an elemental. I can only control one element." He turned and smiled at Shinya "Think of me like a wizard, a wizard of fire." Shinya blinked a few times.
"Okay…So what's your name again?" Shinya questioned.
"I'm Sasuke." He looked around and Mai and Risa were circling the ring of fire. "Now the question is just what are these two?" Sasuke muttered.
"Maybe they're pixies." Shinya offered.
"Shinya this isn't some fairy tale book." Sasuke mentioned his eye twitched a bit.
"No, I mean they kind of act like pixies by the way that they really don't stay on the ground." Shinya said.
Sasuke looked at them and noticed that they really weren't touching the ground all that much. "They're wind elementals." Sasuke muttered.
"They're what?" Shinya asked.
"Wind elementals. Most of them are calm and tranquil but I'm guessing these two are up to something." Sasuke answered.
"Wow you figured out what element we are." Mai laughed skipping around.
"Yea, now get out of here, you need to get back to your dorms before you get in trouble." Sasuke said.
"But that wouldn't be fun, then we couldn't kill the Kubara brothers like we were told to do." Mai chirped.
"What are you talking about? Who told you to kill us?" Sasuke questioned.
'But…she said brothers…does that mean that…Sasuke and Takuya are the same person?' Shinya thought looking at the Sack of Sasuke's head.
"Oh, what fun, what fun. I love playing this game." Mai chuckled.
"Mai, come now we don't want to ruin all the fun." Risa stated.
"Then who are you working for?" Sasuke demanded.
"Then what would be the fun if we told you?" Mai asked.
"Mai, someone's coming." Risa said then disappeared.
"well, bye bye." Mai giggled then disappeared as well.
Sasuke let down the wall of fire. "Hey Sasuke, I thought that you were coming here alone." Toshiro mentioned walking up to them.
"I did." Sasuke said letting his staff disappear.
"Then why is Shinya with you?" Toshiro asked motioning over towards Shinya.
"I didn't bring him here. There were these two girls that wanted to kill us and, oh never mind." Sasuke groaned.
"Sasuke…are you and Takuya the same person?" Shinya asked.
Sasuke turned around and nodded "Yea."
"So where's my brother?" He muttered.
"He's in here." Sasuke smiled pointing to his head. "You see we share the same body but when one of us is unconscious the other takes over." He explained.
"…Ok…" Shinya blinked.
"Oh right, I brought someone with me too." Toshiro said and moved out of the way.
"Z-Zoe?" Sasuke said surprised.
"I wanted to apologize to Shinya." Zoe said looking down at the ground.
"Apologize…for what?" Shinya asked.
"I, was one of the one's that gave you your concussion." She replied.
"It's alright." Zoe looked up with a shocked expression on her face Shinya smiled "I don't blame you, whatever happened happen." He said and Zoe smiled.
"Thank you." She bowed.
"Come on Shinya lets get you back to the infirmary." Toshiro stated and hooked his arm around Shinya's shoulders and made him walk with him.
Sasuke was about to go and tell his father about what's been going on. "Um…Sasuke…" Zoe said making him stop and turn to look at her.
"What is it?" He asked.
"You and Takuya…aren't mad at me are you?" She mumbled looking down at the ground.
"Why would we be mad? I know that Takuya isn't mad at you, and I'm not mad at you, so why are you so afraid that we're mad at you?" Sasuke asked a bit confused.
"Oh, i-it's nothing I just wanted to make sure that you weren't mad or anything." She smiled. "Well, I should probably get going, I'm sure that Toshiro and Shinya are waiting." She started walking away.
"Sasuke."
'What is it?' Sasuke questioned watching Zoe walk away.
"Can you tell her something for me?"
'What?'
"I love her."
Sasuke's feet started moving slowly at first then he broke into a run. "Zoe, wait." Sasuke yelled making her stop.
"What is it Sasuke? Is something wrong?" She questioned.
Sasuke pulled her in and kissed her. Letting Takuya take over again considering he was awake. Zoe wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.
"Oh how sweet, Takuya has a girlfriend." Takuya pushed Zoe away and right as he did Takuya was stabbed on the left side in the back.
"TAKUYA!" Zoe screamed as the knife was pulled out and he fell to his knees.
