When I turned to face Alistar, he suddenly seemed nervous about something. Anyone else might have passed over it without a thought, but I knew him too well.
"Spit it out! What's bothering you?" I said through my teeth. His reply didn't even shock me at all, but I WAS pissed at him.
"Well...I was the one who attacked Kokoro... I was trying to act angry before so you couldn't tell... I thought she was something else." He shrugged like we were discussing the outcome of a football game. A loud snarl escaped my throat. "But I seriously didn't mean for her to get hurt like that!"
Again, through my teeth: "Why does it matter what your motives were? She almost died!"
"Why the hell do you even care what happens to her? To any of them?! What have they done for you?!"
I snorted. "That's crazy. Why does it matter? But I guess I have to explain anyway..." Having a flashback, those painful memories flooding his mind as well... I had a strange power of telepathy.
Once again, shock crossed his face, with a hint of pain in his expression. "Oh..."
"Yeah. When I came here, I was able to get my priorities straight. I can't really explain it..." I turned halfway to the side, not wanting to look at him.
Sighing, I said, "I guess I have to take you to Kyubbi..."
"Who?"
Annoyed again, I clenched my hands into fists to keep from snapping his neck. "Just come on!"
When I finally found Kyubbi, he was with Dutch. This made me a bit more reluctant to talk, but I had to.
I gulped. "Kyubbi-san..."
