Kairu Mission
"Kaya, don't falter!", Ky yells, holding his attack alongside me. The two of us were shooting a huge flame wave at our enemy using an attack called...well...'Flame Wave'
"I'm trying", I say, through clenched teeth. I squint and notice the stances of Diara and Koz slip a little bit through the fire. THERE!
"MAYA! BOOM! NOW!", I scream, still attacking. Maya jumps up and yells, "PARALYSIS SPRAY!" Boomer takes this opportunity and finishes off with his attack. "BOREALIS BLAST!"
The two of them get knocked back and sure enough, we win the challenge. Again...they really need to get their stuff together.
BATTLE ENDS
Ky and I finish our attack and take a moment to catch our breath. "Great strategy, Ky. If anybody knows about teamwork, it's you", I complement him through gasps.
"Thanks", he says, holding his thumb up while smiling. I smile back at him and take my X-Reader out. "Shall we?"
He nods and the four of us aim our X-Readers at the bit of Kairu. I glance at April who was casually leaning against a tree watching us, humming that song.
If there's one thing fighting RPGs have taught me, it's that the person who watches you in battle will one day fight you and know your every move.
Just to be on the safe side, I'll need a change of strategy. But I have to make it natural. That means...doing what Ky doesn't want me to. Falter.
"Let's get back. I was promised yakitori for dinner this time", I say, laughing a little. I miss home and I love grilled meat. "Yeah, I can't wait to see what it tastes like", Maya says, jumping next to me.
"...Maya, it's literally charcoal grilled meat on a skewer. I've told you before", I say, flatly. "Oh and this time, I'm gonna try making the sauce!"
I suddenly hear whispering behind me and when I turn to look at the boys, they start whistling and doing everything to make it seem like they weren't doing anything. I roll my eyes and say, loud enough for them to hear, "I'm kidding!"
I'm not.
"You really like traditional Japanese cuisine, don't you?", April asks, sweetly. I nod and say, "yeah. Nothing like the taste of home!"
"Even though home one is destroyed and you're too embarrassed to go to home two", my goddess self chuckles.
"Aren't you supposed to be researching or finding clues? I'm busy with trying to keep up a good act", I think back to her and frown.
"Shut up! I need a break. Also, I think it'll be helpful if I can...y'know. Watch her from your perspective too"
"Fine. But don't distract me from anything"
"You got it, captain"
I huff and blow my hair out of my eyes, only for it to fall back on my right eye. "Say, Kahura", Boomer asks.
"Hmm?"
"Why do you even cover your right eye? You do have both, right?", he asks, pointing at my flicks. I shrug and chuckle.
"Yeah. But if I'm being honest...even I don't know why I do it. I've just wanted to do it because it felt right to cover it. Oh and sometimes, it hurts a little when my hair blows away but not all the time"
He stares at me in confusion and I sigh. "I like it", I tell him, flatly. He nods and smiles. I slap my forehead and walk over to the platform. April shuts the door behind us and Maya yawns.
"Tired?", Ky asks.
She only nods.
"Get some rest then. It's a long way back", he says, focused on the control panel.
Maya nods and walks over to the bedroom. I smile warmly and Boomer giggles. "What?", I ask him.
"You saw that, right?", he whispers. "How they just acted?"
"Yeah, so what?", he asks.
"Don't you think it's adorable?"
"Hmm?", I sit down and he follows. "'Adorable' how?"
"You cannot be serious. You HAVE noticed how they act toward each other, right?"
"Yeah...so?...", I shrug. He stares at me flatly and gives me a moment to calculate. Suddenly, it clicks. "OOHHHH!", I gasp. The two of us smirk at each other and I think we're both thinking the same thing.
"Don't even think about it", Ky says, eyeing us with folded arms.
"KY AND MAYA SITTING ON A TREE", I begin.
"K-I-S-S-I-N-G!~", Boomer continues.
"I hate you both-"
"First comes love~", April says, unexpectedly. "Then comes marriage~ Then there's a baby in a carriage~"
Ky stares at her in disbelief with a horrified expression and his face turns pale while his cheeks turn bright red.
"Sucking their thumb", I continue
"Wetting their pants", Boomer says.
"Doin' the hula, hula dance!~", April squeals.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! STOP IT!", Ky screams, covering his ears and blushing insanely. "I LIKE KAHURA!"
Everybody in the airship goes completely silent and just stares at him- even Mookie. The only sounds to be heard are the wind blowing outside and the humming of the engine.
It takes Ky less than a moment to realise what he just said before the familiar sound of a door opening can be heard. Maya peaks out from her room, blushing and staring at everyone in disbelief. Everyone stares back at her.
...
...
...
Oh boy.
Suddenly, we hear a thud behind us.
We look over at Ky who was on the floor, presumably knocked out from an overload of embarrassment.
...
"I'm gonna take over", Boomer says, awkwardly and sheepishly walks over to the control panel. I drag Ky over to the couch platform thing and set him down.
"Whatever just happened...", April says, approaching me from behind. She puts a hand on my shoulder and I slightly turn my head to look at her. "Let's never speak about it"
"Agreed", I say, nodding.
After a moment of silence, she asks, "are you seeing anyone?"
I laugh and pry her fingers from my shoulder. "Yeah. Also, Maya's a unicorn", I joke, sarcastically.
She squints and gives me a look thats a mix between concern and 'are you kidding me'. I sigh and shake my head.
"Ah. I thought a girl like you might've had some kind of romantic experience. Guess not", she sighs.
I blush and glance back at Ky. "W-Well...when the two of us were in the X-Scaper after Maya and Boomer were..." I squint at her and say, "gone...you could say that I had kind of a weird moment with Ky"
"Oh? What'd you do? You two were alone, right?"
I immediately turn red and wave my hands around. "DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA! Besides, I had nothing to do with it. He just kissed me without warning and...to be honest...I'm not sure what to feel or say"
"Aww, cute~", she chirps. "He likes you that much eh?"
"I wish I had his bravery"
"You don't need to worry about that part. Unless you're talking about any kinds of relationships. Like your friends?", she smirks at that last sentence.
My eyes widen in disbelief.
Oh, now I'm mad. Like, MAD mad.
I take a deep breath, force a smile and nod. "I guess so"
I lock eyes with her and both of us glare at each other. I wanna kick that stupid grin off her face. I mean, SERIOUSLY?!
"Now that's a low blow", my goddess self says.
"Tell me about it", I think back.
"Well! I'm gonna go do my own thing. See ya~", she says, waving at me and walking to the front.
"I'm gonna kill her", I growl.
"Woah, woah, woah! Calm down. We need her alive", my goddess self says.
"For what?"
"She might know about other people. Other half-gods. You never know"
I pause and think about it. She isn't wrong. What if there are others out there? Hidden mysteries that we've never noticed because we're so busy with our one mission to become Redakai Masters?
"I'll hold back...for now"
