Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Flutter

A man stood atop the tallest building in the whole of Cybrmille, he was none other than Alex Dae.

"Hmm...intriguing...", he said as several space ships landed at Cybrmille's dock.

Yesterday, Yu was later discharged from the hospital and had promised to help the doctor get back his daughter. The rage he was feeling to girls were now directed towards DedSect. Mari understood this and decided to give him space, she knew her feelings weren't what he needed right now.

Iguro, Amanai and Yu were going to be punished for forfeiting school, but as it was the weekend their punishment was till the following week.

So currently, the four were at Amanai's house but three were discussing the past events.

"So... I believe that Iguro is a hybrid and he'll need proper training to use his power.", Amanai said as she sipped her soda.

"Yeah. I believe that's the best possible answer.", Mari said as she came to a conclusion.

"Still...can't believe it...", Iguro said as he brandished the Ballista he stole from Xenon.

Holding it in his arms gave him chills from that day. He had killed someone. He did his best to suppress it...his fear but this won't go unnoticed by Amanai.

"Iguro~", Amanai said in a seductive tone, this caused him to perk up in embarrassment.

"What?"

"I thought we were going on a date today...", she pouted.

"Yeah, I didn't forget."

"Yeah so...when are we going?"

"By noon.", he said calmly.

Amanai noticed this and wanted to tease him. She crawled towards him unnoticed since he was to focused on the rifle, he didn't notice her as she sat in his lap. Her action caused him to jolt.

"Oh~ What's wrong? ~", she asked.

Iguro grinned. He picked her up bridal style before laying her on the sofa.

"You know actions like that make guys aroused...and with the way you're talking I can't just let you off the hook.", he said as he closed the gap between them.

"Iguro...", Amanai muttered.

"Hey. You know am here, right?", Mari spoke breaking their moment.

"MARI!", both of them screamed in embarrassment. They turned away from each other; red faced.

"Whatever! I don't care whatever you do! Just don't mess up this place.", she said as she walked away.

Mari walked away from the room and into the hallway where she found Yu staring at space from the balcony.

"Do you like space?", she asked.

"That's none of your business.", he said with a scowl without looking at her.

"..."

"Am sorry.", she said.

"For what?", Yu asked without turning.

"Am sorry...for treating you badly when you showed up..."

"....", he didn't say anything.

"I was just trying to- "

He cut her off before she could finish, "You were just trying to protect Amanai I get it. I don't hold any grudge against you...there's no point since you...helped me..."

She noticed how he trailed off at the ending of his sentence, she stared at him.

Is he embarrassed?

"If it weren't for you, I probably would have been dead, worse... captured...", he said without turning back.

"Oh...right...", she said as she looked down.

"I'll pay you back one day."

She opened her mouth wanting to say something but hesitated, after some few minutes she garnered up the courage to say it.

Amanai I won't let you leave me behind!

"...You can pay me back now!"

"Huh?", he said as he turned to look at her.

Her face was bright red as she looked down,

"Are...are you alright?", he asked slightly worried.

"Am... fine"

"Then why is your face red?!"

"...Yu...", she said in a low voice.

"Yes?!", he answered shakily, seemingly taken aback by her tone.

"Could you close your eyes...?", she requested.

"Why?"

"I want my payback now.", she said without facing him.

"Fine...", he reluctantly said as he closed his eyes.

Whatever is she going to do harm me? Or try to coerce me into being her slave? I understand she wants her payback but...I don't kno-

His thoughts were cut off as something soft pressed against his cheek. He opened his eyes to see Mari kissing his left cheek. He froze.

She took a step back as she covered her face before running away. All Yu could do was touch the place where she kissed him and look at his finger.

What? Was? That?!

"There was no bloodlust...she did the same thing she did but there was no... bloodlust...", he looked at the direction she ran as a slight tint showed on his cheeks.

What...the hell?

"I... Why am I... feeling like this?", he said as he looked at his finger. His heart began to flutter.

Meanwhile, Amanai and Iguro had been watching the whole scene with their mouths' agape.

"No... fucking...way", Iguro said in disbelief.

"Mari likes Yu?", Amanai said.

This is huge...I thought Mari would never fall in love...hmm...I guess I have something to tease her with...

Amanai smiled while Iguro smirked.

Iguro looked at him.

Who knew you could show these bright colors?
