-Lux-
One moment, I am helping Badrak out of the infirmary and the scent of someone familiar came to me. It bothered me but, I shook it off. It really couldn't have been him, but the power scared me and made me lose sight of everything in front of me and before I knew it, I was with this new guy, some Absol and again helping Badrak walk to the meeting room since that damn Lupe wanted to meet with us. Soon as Badrak opened the door and he peeked in, the Absol passed out. The door shut quietly as we both looked at this character.
"Can't just leave him here right?" I got down and gently leaning him against the wall. "Why don't you head in there, while I get him something to eat at the very least?"
"That probably is best." Badrak nodded as he entered into the room. "I will fill you in once you return." He opened the door and enter the room.
I heard people talking but didn't recognize some of them but that was okay. My arm was still tiggaling from the pain earlier but from what Zaishi did for me, the pain was bearable since it was in a sling as well. So I left the Absol guy against the wall, and ran down the hall way to the kitchen to find something. With so many new people, I am not even sure was the last time this place was stocked. It was very empty in many of the drawers which told me we NEEDED to go back to the city for more food, or at least get a butler to do it for us.Eventually, I found a few apples in a basket and stuffed them in my pocket of my jacket and grabbed a bottled water from the fridge and hurried my way back.
My ears, twitched again as I could hear Lupe being very direct as usual in that tomboyish voice of hers. She could at least, try being more lady like, I mean really, at least that way she wouldn't be such a head ache. Even a sweat drop and a small smile came to my face and as I approached the Absol there was already someone looking him over. She quickly stood up, it was Estelle.
When I saw her, my eyes lite up with joy, but than I came to a stop in front of her. This was our first time we have met since the incident with that dark being in that strange universe. Was it going to be okay if we talk or will it turn ugly?
"Ah...Estelle? I didn't recognize you." She was wearing sweats and a tank top. Was she working out or something? Regardless, she was really cute looking. Alright, I admit, she was hot and I liked what I saw. Even if I was a bit flustered and red int he face, I carried on with a conversation with her. "You look good in those clothes Estelle."
When she turned to me she quickly gave me a big hug. "Lux-kun...I mean Lux!!!"
"OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!" I yelped trying to hold back some tears. She was hugging me so hard that her own weight was against my broken arm in the sling causing more pain.
"Oh my goodness Lux! What happened?" She asked as she let go and took a step back. "Than again, what happened to him?" She pointed at the Absol again.
"Crap!" I had completely forgotten he was there. I kneeled beside him and put my right hand on his neck to make sure he still had a pulse. "Well, as for me being in this condition, Lee and I were sparring and we went a bit over board." I chuckled because I knew it might help ease her nerves since I could feel she was tense. "But don't worry about me, but this guy, well not really sure. I assume he has been traveling since he came here looking for directions. I think he probably passed out from hunger."
I grabbed the water bottle and opened it up and poured some of the water into his mouth. It went down and I repeated the same thing. His chest began going up and down more noticeably so both Estelle and I were at ease.
"He appears to be okay but he isn't waking up yet." Estelle pointed out as she leaned against me.
My heart began to pick up it's pace. I remembered all the memories of our past in an instant and was feeling ackward around her. I won't deny I loved her just like I loved Hoom, but my god we had a freaking past together. Should I tell her?
But Estelle began to poke him and still no reaction from him. She even poked his nose and she would giggle a bit more when there was no reply. I couldn't help but chuckle at this scene but than we both heard it....a snore.
I grabbed the water bottle and poured the rest on the Absol's head out of being annoyed with this jackass and he instantly woke up.
"WHO WHAT WHERE WHY?? I DIDN'T DO IT MOMMY!!!" He exclaimed as he woke up from his own shock of being wet. We both sat there in front of him with amused smiles and eyes narrowed. We were pretty amused by that last statement but after a second he gained his composer. "Why am I wet?"
"Dude.." I poked his cheek out of frustation. "I poured water into your mouth to hydrate you and all you could do was snore. What kind of thank you is that?" He looked at me in shocked and didn't reply. I only sighed and went into my pocket and grabbed the two apples and handed them to him. "Here, eat these so you can at least have something in your stomach."
"Ahhh thank you." He replied as he lifted an apple. His eyes scanned it like he didn't trust it.
Estelle giggled. "Don't be shy, it isn't poisoness like in Snow White's case."
The Absol looked at the Espeon with wide eyes and turned red. She only smiled. I quickly bonked him on the head.
"Hey buddy, don't go getting any ideas now. Got it?" I whispered into his ear.
He nodded quickly and began eating his apple. I stood up and Estelle did the following.
"You know you are late right Lux?" Estelle questioned looking at me with a slight grin. "That's nothing new of you, always late."
"Tsk. Whatever." I laughed putting my one hand in my pocket as I looked at her. "I'm injured and was helping Badrak. Than I helped this guy and met you. That is my excuse. Did I miss much?"
"No, not really." She muttered turning her attention to the door. "Just a bunch of new people and Lupe being the power hungry sister she is."
"Typical." I mumbled as I rolled my eyes.
She squated and extended her hand to the Absol. "You look tired. You should come in too since there is air conditioning and soft furniture. Just relax for a bit, and maybe you might like it here to."
"Well, I have no plans of staying here since I was looking for directions but since you put it that way, I appreciate your hospitality." He than slowly got up. I had noticed that both of the apples were gone. Wow he ate those quickly. "My name is Aberius, but my friends call me Abbie for short."
"Isn't that a girl's name?" I sarcastically asked with a slight smirk.
He turned his head quickly and he was about to respond but Estelle intervened. "Abbie huh? Sounds really cute. It's nice to meet you sweetie, my name is Estelle and I am an Espeon as you can see, but usually I wear much cuter things like skirts and such too...."
"Flaunt off your boobs..." I answered turning away. Of course with that remark she hit me on the head.
"Nevermind him.." She said looking at Abbie, "I hope you might like it here. Please come in and join us."
"Sol...thank you!" He smiled as he bowed his head.
"That reminds me, Lux." She said as she crossed one hand across her chest and resting her right elbow in it while she had one finger on her cheek. "There was this new guy in the room."
"Yeah so, what of it?" I sneered as I rubbed the back of my head. Damn girl hits way to hard for being sort of in love with me. Maybe she shouldn't be my girl since she would make a scary wife of something. "How's he any different from any other new guy joining this place?"
"Well......It was strange, he looked like you. He was a Luxray as well." She said as she continued to think about it.
At that moment, everything went cold in my body. My facial expression changed to one of fear, my eyes were cold, my body began to shiver. It couldn't be, another Luxray that looked like me? Than that feeling before, was it...oh god I hope it wasn't him. There is no way, I was the only survivor.
Both of them looked at me and both were shocked. Anger began to build behind my own being.
"Are you okay Lux?" Asked the Absol as he took a step back. "Is it because I am an Absol?"
"That's got nothing to do with it." I growled and walked up to Estelle and put my right hand on her shoulder. "Estelle, don't joke with me. Tell me you aren't serious!"
"What? Wait, you look like you have seen a ghost Lux, what's wrong?" Sh began to sound more concern. "I am not joking, there is another handsome guy in there that looks like you in there. He has black hair, his eyes are golden like you, he even wears a bandana around his head."
A bandana?I thought to myself. Could it really be him? Please god don't let it be him.
I felt her hands on mine as she looked at me. "What is going on?"
"I...I....I can't go in there Estelle." I said as I turned away looking at the ground and lifting my hand to my head. Fear was growing within my body. I can't handle this, that same person was alive and was in the mansion. The one all these years that cause me pain is here in this very building. I don't want to see him. "I need to leave right now..." Sweat was dripping down my face.
Suddenly I felt something grip around my neck. My eyes looked up as Abbie and Estelle turned to the door. I looked down and saw two giant ears holding my neck and Lupe screaming, "GET YOU ASSES IN HERE!!!! YOU'RE LATE LUX!!!"
I felt my self thrown into the room and I quickly stubbled over myself was able to hit the wall standing up. Lupe came over and kicked my square in the ass making me groan a bit. I turned to her and noticed that Estelle and Abbie quickly walked in and took a seat. Badrak wasn't two far from the door, actually he was sitting on a table next to it. Than Lupe grabbed me by my collar and made me face her.
"You're late dumbass!" She growled with much anger in her voice. "I should really kill you for it." But as she looked at me, she noticed the same tension I had when I was in the hall way. She let go and stood in front of me as I glared at her as she was ice. Maybe I was sending shivers down her spine or something. "What is wrong Lux?"
I closed my eyes. "Lupe, is there another Luxray here?" My aura was beginning to build second by second.
"Yeah, why? From what I could tell, he came in with Hoom, Hon, and that Glaceon fellow and he is standing right over there by the window." She pointed to the back of the room with one eyebrow up and the other down. "Why?"
My eyes opened and I slowly turned my head in the direction in which she pointed. Than I saw him, a man that resembled me so much, red marks under his eyes, gold eyes, black hair that was thick but tied in a braid in the back, a jacket that was had torn edges from battle was what he wore with belts around the upper and lower arm, he was shirtless, his bandana had lighting bolts on it, he had a yellow belt around his neck, his jeans were stripped, his boots were black, and his aura resembled my own. Our eyes made contact and I saw that sick evil grin of his appear.
My fist began to shake and Lupe appeared surprised next to me. I was already pissed to see him here, now the only problem was getting him out. The man who I feared for so long, who put me through hell was right before me. "XIO!!!!!"
-End-
Hahaha! Finally they meet. *wipes sweat* Good thing that happened. Now someone please continue, I am wondering how someone might stop this, but just fair warning, they won't fight at least not right now. Xio will be a gentleman and he will make Lux look like the bad guy too. *smiles* Anyway I do hope you enjoyed it.
In this passage: Badrak, Estelle, Abbie, Lupe, Lux and Xio.
