DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ELEMENTAL GELADE!!! IT'S PROPERTY OF WHATEVER COMPANY OWNS IT!
A/N: Okay I came up with this great idea... oh by the way I haven't read the whole manga or watched the whole show so if something like this already came up just forget about it! ENJOY!!!!
Kuea had finished eating her "impossible for any normal person to eat" portion of dinner and started to head off to bed.
Rowen grabbed her gigantic bowl and put it in the sink. "Going to bed so early?" the tall blonde man asked.
She waved him off. "Yeah I'm reeeeeaaaaaaly tired tonight for some reason. Well goodnight!"
Cou was still eating his dinner. "Hmmm.... I'm surprised she's usually the last of any of us to go to sleep." He looks over to Ren and realizes that she's not even dozing off. "I'd expect Ren to be asleep first.
Cisqua looks over to the room. "Hey Rowen, do you know if she's feeling well?"
"Well she doesn't seem sick. Maybe we should just leave her alone for a while..."
Later that night....
*Kuea's dream... Flashback...*
The new girl in town you could say she was. Kullweet Envatilia, a very beautiful young woman, and also an Edel Raid.
June 15,1958... that was the day it started.
Kuea couldn't be happier. She had just bought her new dress with the money she saved up in the previous town. Now she could finally afford to go and eat at a decent resturaunt. And Kuea had just the one in mind.
Quickly she ran the corner smiling.
Yay yay yay! Time to eat!
However when she turned the corner she accidently ran into a big man much bigger than her.
"Oh sorry bout that," she said casually brushing off her dress, "Guess I have to be more careful."
She tried to run past him but he grabbed her by the arm and started to eye her Elemental Gelade.
"So you are an Edel Raid yes?" he asked in a sick voice. He smiled at her and looked up and down her body. "Why don't you react with me girlie? Come one do it and I promise I'll make you feel better."
"Let me go you sicko!"
He started to rub behind her chin. "Come on girlie, react with me!"
"NO WAY IN HELL!"
Despite her dress Kuea actually managed to kick the guy square in the jaw quickly knocking him out. She brushed herself off. "You don't mess with me you idiot." She started to walk away and began to walk around the other corner. There in front of her was a simple resturaunt, nothing fancy. But just what she wanted. Walking in with a big smile on her face she walked up to the bistro clerk and showed him the money. She was smiling happily.
^.^
"GIVE ME THE BIGGEST SANDWICHES YOU'VE GOT! MAKE THAT 3!"
The clerk was stunned at the order but went ahead and took it. "W-would you like anything to drink?"
Kuea thought for a second. "um, how about a cup of warm tea to wash it all down."
The clerk went to pour the tea and then handed her the cup. "Your order should be ready eventually miss. We usually don't have an order that big for one person"
"It's okay mister! I'll wait as long as I need to."
An hour passes and she's left at the table with nothing but scraps of food and the tea. She notices that it started to rain, but was startled by her daze.
"That's a beautiful Elemental Gelade you have."
She looked up at the man with long blond hair.
"Do you mind if I sit here miss?"
Kuea let out a smile and nodded. "Please," she said.
The man sat down and immediatly the two began to talk about anything and everything. He offered for her to stay at his house while she's in town and Kuea accepted it. Walking back they talked more and then they arrived at his house. It was a simple little farm house, but it was quaint.
"Oh, that's right." He looked at her with determined eyes. "We've talked for a while but still haven't learned each other's names. Mine is Joseph Contaire. What's yours miss?"
Kuea gives a slight smile. "I-it's Kullweet. Kullweet Envatilia"
He smiled and laughed. Kuea immediatly let her fist up. "What's so funny!?"
He looked at her with honest blue eyes. "Your name. It's very long. Why don't we shorten it a bit. How does the name, Kuea sound?"
Kuea's eyes got wide. Up until now she was never able to hold a normal conversation. People either wanted her for her power and were just clerks doing their jobs. But this man, he had something that was different. She didn't know what it was at the time, but it was definitly a good something.
She nodded her head approvingly. "It's nice. I love it. Less annoying than saying my whole name."
They both walked inside. Joseph directed her up to the shower so that she could use it to warm up a bit. "It's a bit chilly out there," he said, "I don't have an outdoor bath but the shower should do fine. You know how to work one yes?"
"What do I look like a caveman!?"
"Haha, now now no need for such 's just that you look like so much of a drifter that it doesn't look like you'd get the chance to take one often."
"Humph, well for your information I shower almost everyday."
He smiled at her. "I can tell. You have a lovely smell on I was just checking. I put some fresh towels in there before I left so if you need anything just yell."
Joseph walked down the stairs and around the corner. Kuea couldn't help but feel her face start to get hot. She couldn't tell what it was about this man, but he had something that she liked about him.
Maybe if I stick around here long enough, I'll be able to find out what that something is.
About an hour later she had stepped out of the shower and put on her nightgown. Walking down stairs she realized that Joseph had finished dinner.
"Oh hello there," he said happily, "I hope you like eggs with sausage, that's about all I can afford at the moment."
Kuea ran down and immediatly started to drool at the food. The smell of homemade dinner was just too tempting. She grabbed the fork and yelled, "Thank you for the meal!" then started to dig in. After about a minute she looked up and realized that the man across from her was staring. "Do I have something on my face?"
He waved his hands back and forth. "Oh no no not at all. I was just admiring you for the moment."
"Huh?" She looked at her Elemental Gelade. "Oh...that..."
Again he started to wave his hands back and forth. "No that's not what I meant. The jewel on your hand very pretty, but I was admiring YOUR beauty."
Kuea had stopped filling her face then felt her face get hot again. She hid it in her hands but he pulled her hands back. "Don't be embarrased. Your face is too cute to hide."
Kuea stood up, her face as red as a tomatoe. "Uh.... th...thank you?"
"No problem. Are you done eating already?"
She looked at the food and sat down, once again started to eat like her food would disappear from her plate. "Delicious! Thank you!"
Still smiling her closed his eyes graciously. "Your welcome. Your always welcomed to more if you'd like."
Kuea handed him the bowl. "More please!"
He took the bowel and filled it up. "By the way Kuea," he asked, "How long were you planning on staying?"
"Oh? Well my original plan was to stay for about 3 days at an INN, but since you offered I guess I'll be staying here for a few days."
"Well you are welcomed to stay as long as you want to." Joseph handed her the bowel and she started eating.
"More please!"
"What a healthy appetite." Regardless he filled it up one more time.
Over the next three days the two had went out everywhere. Joseph showed Kuea his farm and how to tend to the animals. They both went out to look around the forest around for vegetables and berries they could use for their meals. He even took her out ot show her all the neat things that the town has that other's don't. Soon a 3 days turned into a week, then 2, then a month. Finally, by the end of the month it was a rainy day, but he went and showed Kuea his favorite spot outside of town.
About half a mile outside of the town was a single tree that grew many fruits on its branches. Joseph stood there and looked up at the tree. The whole time Kuea was there with him just wondering what he was looking at. He finally broke the silence.
"This tree... is very important to me. When I was just a child my grandfather had taken me here to this tree. It was a sad site, just about ready to die. Since that day I've been coming out to this tree and taking care of it. Once a month is about all it needs."
"It's really that important to you huh?"
"Yes, it is why... I want to preserve its life. For my children, their chidlren, and so on. If this tree were to die tomarrow... I don't know what I would do."
He looked at her with that smile of his. Kuea couldn't help but start to fluster. "Kuea," he said, "I would give up my life for this tree. However, that's not the only thing I'd give my life for."
"What's that other thing?"
"It's you...Kuea."
Her expression changed to that of a surprised school girl. It was strange though. Instead of backing away though she grabbed his hand and looked up into the tree with him. "Joseph," she whispered, "I will stand here... by your side, and protect this tree with you. No matter what."
Together they stood there. The clouds began to part and the sun had finally started to shine, making all the droplets left gleam with brilliance.
The two people looked at into each other's eyes, they're faces started to become closer and closer, until finally their lips pressed against the other. In sync with the other they began to sink to the ground until they were both laying there just kissing the other.
Kuea...and Joseph.... couldn't have been happier.
