Chapter 4 - An Unexpected Ally

Monday morning

Sakai dreaming he's in a vast space and sees a man in a coat with stars and sun on it "Who are you?" calls him out and he stops and turns his head to look at him "Prove yourself and move your right hand."

Continues walking Sakai "Wait, all of a sudden wake up and pulls his hand to the extreme right of the bed and a large blade falls where his left arm was." Jin Woo "Aw, you have reflexes, lets taste it, make it to dinner table you're safe, lifts up the blade and sharp stone spikes pop out the ground, five seconds head start. "I feel like, his hair rises silent need to run."

Jin Woo "Five, Sakai gets off bed and the spikes pierce his feet, "Hnrgh, ah, four, he tries to get out of his room quickly leaving blood on the spikes up to were the stairs are, 3, Jin turns to look at him at the stairs, 2

Sakai holds the stair rail "The whole ground is covered in spikes even the stairs.",him standing up straight feels a sudden gust of wind and Jin woo standing next to him with the huge sword in her hands "Too slow for proper prey what's the use of you having legs? "Cuts off his feet from the ankle with one slash and he falls down the spike covered stairs and lands on his back.

Jin Woo puts down the spikes and walks towards him with his feet in her hands and stands where his feet were, Sakai afraid "No, please, "Places the tip of the blade in his left shoulder and he yells in pain then she pulls it out "I never told you to speak, the next time you talk without being asked a question I'll slice the muscle that helps move your jaws, the oven timer tings, Oh already ready.

Sakai about to move away and spikes suddenly shoot from the ground and pierce his arms and legs pinning him there, ok this is what losers get, walks in holding a hot tray in her hand and holds it over Sakai's stomach and presses it onto him and he screams, we have 21 minutes before school and 15 piping hot needles, picks one and fixes it in where his feet were and he continuously screams as she puts one after the other inside, hmmm, one left I wonder what's painful about them makes you scream , rolls up her sleeve and picks one with her bare hand and tries putting it in and it fails and instead bends on pushing, Not even hot it's just luek warm and weak., looks at her watch and shakes her head and pulls out the needles and puts them back on the tray and the spikes fall in the ground and the holes in his legs close up and he sits up and feels his hands and she gets his feet and heals them back, get up and bathe you disappointment and go to school now."

Sakai gets up quickly and dresses up and grabs his bag and exists the front door and runs up to the bus stop Sakai "I have to catch the bus, I have to catch the bus or I may not have knuckles by the time I get there." Running and sees the bus approaching the stop

Sakai "And that's if I'm lucky if not that, then it's a sick day. "Builds up speed and reaches in time. The bus driver "Your mother isn't taking you Morgan." Sakai "No, Jim she's sick so am gonna need a ride back." Jim "sure anytime Morgan." Sakai gets in sits down and clams himself and looks out the glass of the bus as it passes his home, "I wonder if all that I thought I knew, wasn't what I thought it was, Thomas, Jenny I mean Jin Woo and now I hear my dad's alive. Though who was that guy in my dream who was he?, Pulls out a paper, pencil and a book closes his eyes and begins to drawing him, who was he?" stops and looks at the zoomed replica he drew of him and scans it, I don't even have the face, I've never seen it."

Puts the book back in his bag and holds the paper Sakai "I need to carry out some research on you long coated mysterious man."

Jim "We are all at school." Children in the bus "Aww" stops the bus and opens and they come out passing Sakai whose looking at the paper he rolls it puts it in his bag and gets off the school bus with the rest of the children. "school, school, stares at it, My safe house, ok time to get some information.,speaking to himself, He might actually be able to help me, I have a feeling. Picturing the man in his dream in his head , Now, where to begin." Sits down in class looks at his legs.

Sakai"The healing helps with the pain after 5 seconds, that's where the pain and the bleeding stops. It's enough for now but when my birthday comes around" tilts his head to look at the ceiling and covers his eyes with his hand ,I'll be screwed."

The bell rings for classes and the rest of the children walk in and take their seats, but first school. The teacher walks in with test papers. "Hello class, the class greets him back ,Are you ready for this easy activity?" Holds up a paper in his hand and waves it in the air and the children "yeah" teacher "Ok I'll serve them out" begins handing them the papers, Sakai "I forgot we had a math test. ,the teacher hands him the question paper and he examines it, simple enough" pulls out a pencil and waits for instructions, the teacher finishes distributing them out "Begin."

Sakai begins answering the test "Math, ok flips the page done, flips again and flips the last page, hmmm ok done, raises his hand, excuse me I'm done. "Teacher "And of course Sakai finishes in the two minutes. , Walks to his desk with a red pen and picks up his paper and goes through, perfect handwriting and accurate answers as always, guess not even an end of semester test can stop you, Sakai Dominic. Writes on the front page and gives it to Sakai to look at, A++ Sakai, 100% now I'll take this cause I can't leave it with you it's an exam, walks to his desk, you may leave the room Sakai."

Another child raises her hand "Done sir." Teacher "Come on don't call me sir, I'm John just mister john. Ok Lisa Lawrath." Lisa "right, my mistake sir, sorry mister john." Walks to her desk picks the paper and marks it John"Ok good work Lisa 100%, you can leave the class with Sakai, and well relax, goes to his desk with their papers, the rest focus."

Sakai grabs his bag from his desk and walks over to Lisa. "Good work, you're really bright." Offers his hand to give Lisa a handshake Lisa slaps his hand away "keep your hands to yourself. I don't need your gratitude or praise." Gets her bag and walks past him.

Sakai puts down his hand and walks towards the teacher takes a deep breath "Can I have the library keys and a hall pass.?" John "When will you learn she just doesn't like you." Sakai "it was just a handshake." John "they'll always be people like that just let her be." Sakai "Guess you're right, but if I remember correctly Thomas Eddison failed over 100 times before perfecting the light bulb, and I've only failed 63 times."

John "Fine, hands him the keys and cards, But don't bring her too close or you'll regret it." Sakai "I know that already." Gets the keys "bye john" john waves and Sakai leaves the class and rushes through the hall "That kid is strange." The others look at him going john looks at them "An hour left." The others gasp and get to writing. "I'm still on the first page."

 

Sakai running through in the empty halls

Sakai "I got 2 hours and 20 minutes but I bet john just cut the time, to scare the others, makes a sharp turn, ok teachers library, suddenly bumps into someone at the next turn and their bags fall down with them on the ground and his drawing of the man from his dream falls out,

Sakai "oww sorry I didn't see you there." looks up to see a girl his age in a big black jumper with white hair and blue eyes., the girl about to burst into tears "you didn't see me, Sakai confused about the situation, of course you didn't, starts crying cause I'm invisible." Sakai trying to make her feel better "No, no, no I didn't mean it like that I just wasn't expecting anyone out here, she continues crying, it didn't work I have to switch tactics." Takes her hands and moves closer to her and she looks at him right in the eye, Don't be silly, I would have to be blind not to see a girl as gorgeous as you..."

puts his hands gently on her face and wipes her tears off her cheek, Sakai "so please don't cry, beautiful." Girl "beautiful, me, ahh, starts to turn red, voice in her head (does he like me no, we just met, well apart from the letters but they're anonymous could he have figured me out and likes me too uhhhh turns redder, ok got to take my chance like my books but how I can't speak like this.) faces down,

Sakai still holding her hand (Did I make it worse?)the girl suddenly raises and kisses him. She suddenly stops and looks away, the girl "Thanks for the compliment. First I forgive…you….and ahh do you want to be friends with me?"

Sakai still in shock they hear someone clear their throat and they turn to see Lisa "Halls aren't for that little act you two did." Sakai "Uhh, no, it's not what it looks like." the girl "Yeah it's not." Lisa "Ok, Liv, what were you doing?"

Sakai "she…"gets interrupted by lisa. "not you her", points at Liv." Liv "Uh I was just asking him to be friends with me." Lisa "with a kiss on the lips." Liv "you..you...,blushes out of embarrassment and pulls up the flexible hoddie and covers her head in it, no it's not like that." Lisa sarcastically "ok sure, looks at sakai, ok your turn.

Sakai"Let me ask you, what are the forms of appreciation, stands up, they're hugs, high fives, thumbs up, the list goes on and the one being talked about, a kiss. It is known that it is mostly used to show love and the one is being most forgotten is appreciation." Lisa "Yes, but for someone you love."

Sakai begins pacing back and forth. "Yes, but is it limited to that kind of love? That's where you go wrong there's only an age limit for some like agape love, love kisses end at seven, parent-child kisses end as soon as 7 or 8."

Lisa "True." Sakai "Friendships have love between the friends, correct." Lisa "Yes" Sakai "Which is also classified as agape love so that kiss I received could be compared to that between a loving sister and dear brother."

Lisa "You want to compare that kind of kiss to what you and her did? begins pacing back and forth, it didn't seem like it." Sakai "how it looks doesn't matter it's the intention behind and also, they both stop pacing and look at each other, you have a punishment worthy deed, you went into the locker room of the football team of the high school and stole the jock strap of the captain." Pulls out a picture of her putting it on her head, checkmate dear. Lisa "

Lisa"You're lying I didn't do that." Sakai "of course you didn't do this the Lisa Lawrath I know would never, crushes the picture as he speaks and puts it back in his pocket and pulls out a flash, I know you would keep it somewhere in a pink bag." Lisa (he did see me.) Sakai "Then make it off with her elder brother and go back home to enjoy the fruits of her labor of course putting on an innocent girl act to get away without anyone noticing."

Lisa "You're bluffing." Sakai walks up to her with the flash in his hand. "Do you want to take those odds Lisa in an intimidating voice" Lisa " Tch, what do you want?" Liv (That charisma, no wonder he is on top.) Sakai "I want a favor, they both look at him one with no limits to the favor." Lisa "what do you want to do with me?"

Sakai " what would I even want with your body? You do remember you're 5, right it's not for me it's for the affected party." Liv lowers the hoddie and stands up quickly "Right am the captain's sister, umm, well his little sister so I decide what happens to the evidence.",

Lisa (of course, he pulls something like this backing me into a corner. I just want to get him kicked out, he just annoys me.) Liv "Uh so please, keep all of this to yourself, bows, because no one else is around it should work so please, we'll also keep it down low."

Silence falls and she looks up to Sakai and Lisa looking at her Sakai "how does she seem so cute all the time." Liv "huh" Sakai fake coughs "Right so, have we agreed Lisa? " Lisa "fine, turns around angrily, I'll keep my mouth shut.", walks away.

Liv "you were cool Sakai" Sakai "really, I don't think so." Liv "you were and more so that part when you were all close to her and sounded entimdating Sakai,and said, trying to copy the moment,do you want to take those odds?. with a cold emotionless face." gets too close to his face and blushes and backs up, anyway yeah, you were cool"

Sakai chuckles "your fun and interesting I would really love to be your friend Liv." Liv "really Sakai." Sakai "Yea you and me. Liv suddenly hugs him Sakai "Uh, what's that for." Liv hugs him tighter "Me saying thank you" Sakai returns the hug. Liv lets go and starts helping him pick up his stuff

Sakai follows Liv "Um Sakai, Sakai picking up his stuff stops and looks at her holding the paper he drew on, what's this?" turns it around showing the man he drew. Sakai looks at her with a blank expression on his face,

Liv pannicks cause she thinks she wasn't meant to do that "I mean, I just looked, and it was out of your bag on the floor and I had no idea you liked zodiac history.,Bows in an apologizing way with her hand holding the paper forward, I'm sorry for picking it without your permission. Please…. Don't hate me." Sakai zips up his bag and picks up the keys and card. "now why would I hate you stand up straight, you didn't do anything wrong so don't apologize, Liv raises her head and sees Sakai smiling at her, Not to mention I think you could be a big help with something. "

Dangles the teacher's library keys in his hand, Sakai "so what do you say buddy." Liv straightens up "Anything for you." Sakai "ok ? let's go." They walk through the halls, Liv following Sakai "how did you get that video, the one you used as black mail."

Sakai "oh, yeah there was no video on it or proof." Liv "Then..." Sakai " How did I get to that, simple, see I wasn't thinking clearly since well, you kissed me, so if she picked me at first I would have bombed it and as for the appreciation topic, I was I using it as cover so that I could find something against her till I remembered what some little eye witness told me, otherwise Chloe and the assumed photo it was a fake she made to get what she wanted but I confiscated it after saying it was a fake all that was left to do is…"

Liv " Make it seem like it was you who saw her." Sakai "Bingo." Liv "You are a good actor I couldn't tell it was made up." Sakai "Aw, it's not a big deal." Liv "Then, what's on it." Sakai "just some birthday pictures.,Take a left turn, we're here, pulls out the keys and opens the door to the teacher's library."

Liv walks in "Follow me." Sakai follows her, Liv opens a door and points Sakai in "Come in there's a computer we can use." Sakai "isn't that johns research room, I can't get in there I don't have permission and neither do you." Liv " I'm his youngest daughter of course I am allowed in and so you get in," grabs Sakai's arm and pulls him in", Sakai " My class teachers daughter kissed me, am screwed ." sits down in the chair with her, the computers turns on and the voice of a cheery lady says " welcome back master John, sees them, hello Liv does your dad know you're here, and who is this boy, oh don't tell me you're dating, lets out an excited girl screech and Liv blushes uncontrollably, you are too young but I'll convince your dad cause the boy is Sakai Morgan Dominic, bright, funny and social what a catch Liv ."

Liv flustered " hmmm, stop Elly, why do you always do this and it's not like that." Elly "Aww, psst Sakai, do me a favor and lay her down someday if you know what am saying." Winks at Sakai, the two of them look at each other and look away out of embrassement, I'm only teasing, begins laughing, you should have seen your faces hilarious."

Sakai "I had no idea john had a sophisticated and complex AI" Liv"Complex yes, sophisticated no."Elly "That's right, wait why not sophisticated." Liv "because that goes also for behavior." Elly "sharp as your grades you'll have my assistance in whatever you need, the desktop shows with a lady with a perfect body and gorgeous face with long blond hair wearing glasses, I'm Elly this is what I look like, strikes a pose, sexy right."

Liv "stop, can you help us find out more about this." shows the picture to Elly and she looks at it Elly "that's the zodiac reincarnation from 300 years ago in 1723, you know this info is illegal you are lucky I can break into any system without being detected where was I, the zodiac was Gemini or Gemi the first twin who beared the sun, he was Italian and had a twin brother who was Minia the second twin who beared the moon their names were Grelz Rosl and Diaz Aleham. They were born to a Mexican woman who was found love with an Italian traveling mage Grelz Rosl killed his own twin after his brother Diaz the second twin flooded the whole current day Alaska and Grelz absorbed his enemy turning into Gemini,

He said in his final moments, and I quote I will never stand for my brother like he never stood for me or anyone else, and thus I will only stand for Gemi the first twin, and I'll make him one above all. Elly pulls out some old drawings of all past Gemini reincarnations throughout time quickly and shows Grelz and Diaz pictures and then shows Grelz as Gemini in the sky."

Liv "That's a lot of info." Sakai "does that mean I'm the first twin, but I'm an only child, aren't I?. Elly I need more information, please…"

The End
