Chapter 8

Trouble on the Horizon

'Ah, Mizuki! You utter MORON! Yeah, let's just blurt it out! Aren't you hated by enough people yet?'

She looked up at Gaara, who was looking back at her with confusion and something else she couldn't quite place.

'Then again...he has a demon sealed within himself, so he would understand...hopefully...'

She gave a nervous grin before speaking.

"I...I'm guessing you want some answers?" she asked carefully.

He frowned a bit before nodding.

"W-well...to begin with neither me or Hikaru were actually born, but rather created by an evil witch named Marion..."

"Created?" he asked surprised and Mizuki nodded. "How?"

"I'm not exactly sure...I lost all my memories not to long ago...I managed to recover about half and Hikaru filled me in on the basics of our creation."

"Oh...but, you mentioned being polar opposites. Won't your powers conflict with each other?"

"I recall Hikaru mentioning something about a 'fail safe' of some sort. Marion had apparently made some kind of protection in our bodies so the opposing energies won't neutralize one another."

"I see." he said before smiling, catching Mizuki of guard.

"Uh...y-yo-you're not mad?" she stuttered in confusion.

"Well, wouldn't that be hypocrisy?" he asked sharply before smiling again "We're a lot alike."

"Yeah, I guess we are." she said as she returned his smile.

A knock resounded on the large dark doors.

"Enter." A female voice answered monotonously.

The door opened, revealing a man with long, chocolate brown hair and golden brown eyes.

"Ah, Dranton. Your presence here means you found them?" The woman asked, a bit of of eagerness, laced with malice, present in her normally toneless voice.

"Ah, well, more or less, I think." Dranton replied, a bit nervously.

"More or less? So you haven't found them. Then you had better have a very good excuse for being here." She nearly hissed, and Dranton could swear her icy blue eyes became even colder.

"Well, I'm not exactly sure. I might have found something, but I need to investigate. That's why I..."

"Came to ask for permission to leave?" she cut him off before smirking. "Very well then. I expect a full report. Is that all?"

"Yes, Master. That is all." he said, relieved that Marion didn't blast him on the spot earlier.

"You may leave." she said, being her toneless self, yet again and Dranton wasted no time getting out of the room, wondering why he still worked for her.

"I wonder what's taking her so long." Hikaru said as she watched the sun not too far from the horizon. "It's going to be dark soon."

"She's still not back? I hope she hasn't gotten herself in trouble." Ellion frowned as she walked into the living room.

"I don't sense any danger, so I don't think she's in trouble." She closed her eyes and focused on her sister's energy. "It seems she's in the park with Gaara-san." she said smirking in a way that made even Ellion uneasy.

"What are you up to?" Ellion asked carefully as she frowned.

"Nothing." Hikaru answered and started laughing, before smiling softly. "I just find it really sweet that she's crushing on a guy."

"Oh, well then, I think we can leave the two lovebirds to watch the sunset." Ellion chuckled.

"Yeah." Hikaru smiled as the watched the sun starting to sink beyond the horizon.

A portal opened in a room, where it seemed as if a hurricane had passed through, and a few black misty wolf-like creatures followed by Dranton came through. He pulled out two crystals, one blue and the other red and found them glowing slightly.

"Just as I thought. The spell Alexis had cast seems to be fading over time. We'll be able to track them in no time." He started wondering if he should go back and tell Marion what he uncovered.

'Rather not...I think I tempted fate enough for today...'

"Ah, wow!" Mizuki exclaimed "It's so pretty"

"Huh? Oh, you mean the sunset?"

"Yeah, it looks so pretty in the desert."

Gaara looked a bit dumbfounded and she started laughing.

"What?"

"That expression...just priceless..." she choked out between giggles.

Gaara blinked a few times before he found himself smiling. Mizuki managed to stop laughing and suddenly gasped.

"Ah...look at the time! I need to get going!" She gave him a hug before running off. "See you later Gaara-kun."

He found his face heating up as he watched her running toward the inn she stayed at.

Finally managed to finish this chapter...and put a little fluffy scene in too (and put poor Gaara in a very awkward position xD)
