Chapter 37: Ikfarion Roy drove me to school as usual (I noticed a new antennae on his car's rooftop, and there was a fold-out TV screen on the ceiling), and Ikki brought me to his class range. "Mmm, you're wearing something new today." he remarked. "Hehe...... yeah." I blushed. "Do you like blue?" he asked. I nodded. "Why ask?" I asked him. "Nothing." he smiled. Ikki challenged me to an archery match today, and it was pretty close. His arrow hit the dead centre of the target first, and mine sliced his arrow smack in half. "I was just going easy on those guys you saw me having a match against the first time you got here." he smiled. "Oh." I mumbled. I noticed Conrad looking at me with a hint of the deepest loathing in his eyes. "He's making me nervous." I whispered in Ikki's ear. He turned around and looked at Conrad. Conrad quickly returned to his shooting, but his next arrow dropped on his foot. "Need a doctor?" a guy ran over and asked him. Ikki and I were stifling laughs. "That doesn't happen every day!" Ikki was laughing as we made our way towards the school canteen. I was laughing with him too. "Normally he's too focused on his shooting to do something like that though...... Does he have a crush on you?" he said thoughtfully. "Errr.... No way!" I exclaimed, trying to pick out my next few words carefully. Ikki bought 2 plates of spaghetti. "Can we finish this in 20 minutes?" I eyed it. "Ah well, we have 50 minutes. I don't have class next period." Ikki smiled. I ate my spaghetti slowly and daintily. Hold on! Daintily!? "Girl instincts. Get used to them." the Dark Dragon whispered. Ikki finished his in 20 minutes and started staring at me as the bell rang. "Erm... Do I have something on my face?" I asked. "Oh, nothing. It's just that I haven't had time to really look over you just yet." he grinned. I felt myself blushing again. "You know, you're really beautiful." he whispered in my ear. I jumped. "Really?" I asked him excitedly. "Yep." his smile widened. I nearly fainted right there. Ikki insisted on walking me home that day, so I was forced to give Roy a call and tell him not to pick me up. "Boyfriend walking you home? That Ikfarion guy? Happy lovey-dovey day." he smirked through the phone. "Hey, wait! It's not..." Too late, he already hung up. "You live in Kerning? Me too!" Ikki smiled when I told him where I lived. I was totally speechless. Conrad attempted to accost me while I was walking out the school gate, but Ikki gave him a dangerous look as he grabbed my arm, and he quickly walked off, whistling. "Weirdo." I looked at the red mark on my arm where Conrad had grabbed me. "Just ignore him. He's jealous coz I got a beauty of a woman to check out my classes." Ikki smiled. I blushed. "Sooo...... How's your family?" Ikki asked as we walked through Kerning's dark thief-infested streets. He had fended off most of the thieves by simply glaring at them. "Well...... My family's elsewhere in the world." I lied. I didn't want to scare him by telling him I was from another dimension. "Oh. So, you're alone?" Ikki asked again. "Nope, I live with a few friends and my twin sister." I replied, truthfully this time. "I see." Surprisingly, Ikki just lived a few blocks away from our house, in a small house. Apparently, he lived alone. "You're welcome to come over anytime!" I smiled at him. "Thanks." he grinned and walked off home, waving at me over his back all the time. I opened the door and heard a muffled noise from the other side. "Huh?" I looked behind the door. Lacus had been leaning on the door when I opened it, and I had slammed her into the wall. "Sorry!" I pulled her to her feet. "It's okay. I shouldn't have been leaning on the door anyway." she dusted herself down crossly. |
