Note from D-chan
I know there seems to be a love thing going
on, but I promise its not a cheesy add in like in a good action movie and it's
not going to be sappy...ok not too sappy if I do it. Just remember dreams don't
always tell what's going to happen but are merely self-reflecting metaphors of
things to come :p
Sae laid in Sage's arms after making love and smiled as he smoothed her
blue-gray her hair away from her forehead so he could kiss it. "That was
wonderful," she sighed as she snuggled closer to him.
"I love you,"
Sage said tenderly as he held her tightly.
"Now isn't that cute, the
lovers exchanging pillow talk," a deep harsh voice broke in amused.
Sage and Sae sat up, holding the sheet to her chest. "Who's that?" Sae
asked.
"It can't be," Sage commented as his face paled.
"Oh
yes it can," the voice replied as a pair eyes glowed red then a face appeared.
"Talpa," Sage growled as he quickly reached for his armor orb. His
subarmor formed on his body just as he jumped out of the bed.
"You
want to fight, eh?" Talpa chuckled as about ten dynasty soldiers along with an
armored warrior appeared.
"Armor of Halo, dao chi!" Sage called as his
armor formed around him and he stood in his armor between Sae and the soldiers
with his no-datchi raised. "What's with the new armor?"
"Just a little
something I was tinkering with," Talpa replied. "Gotta pass on something to the
son."
"Son?" Sage asked as he looked at the smug warrior with his arms
crossed. "Who did you brain wash to sleep with you?"
"Ask your mother
about it," Talpa remarked smartly. "Kill him and bring me his armor."
"I don't think so," Sage said as the soldiers attempted to circle him.
Sage watched the armored soldier carefully as he waited for the others to
attack. All of the sudden the armored soldier disappeared and the other soldiers
commenced to attack Sage.
"Let me go!" Sae exclaimed as the armored
soldier held her in a head lock so she couldn't get away. She threw him over her
body. The sheet that was keeping her modesty in tact started to fall but only to
reveal her orange and white subarmor.
"Kill joy," Talpa muttered
disappointedly.
Sage turned his head for a second to make sure Sae was
all right when a soldier took the opportunity to strike him. Luckily Sage
blocked him and ran him through before he could be injured.
"Armor of
Hardrock, dao gi," Sae called as her armor snapped into place. She pulled out
her naginta and prepared to square off with the armored soldier.
"Don't make me hurt you," he said as he circled her.
"Who
says you will?" she asked. "I'm not some weak little girl."
"You're
right," the armored soldier said as he dropped his defensive stance. "I give
up."
"What?" Sae asked confused as she dropped her naginta in a less
defensive state.
"Just kidding," the warrior replied as he sent a
large blast of energy from his hands. It hit Sae square in the chest and
threw her across the room and against the wall, knocking her unconscious.
"Sae!" Sage screamed as he saw her hit the ground. The warrior walked
over to her and threw her over his shoulder. "Leave her alone!" he yelled as he
tried to get over to her but the soldiers were hassling him.
"You pick
the loveliest girls, Halo, so I'm sure you won't miss this one," the warrior
remarked. "Oh and don't worry I promise to take her every night. I do need a son
from her you know."
Sage growled. "Thunder bolt cut!" he called out as
he struck down all the soldiers at once, fueled by his focused anger. He then
looked towards the soldier. "You're not leaving here with her."
"Yes,
I am," the warrior commented then teleported just as Sage jumped on him ready to
attack.
Sage took off his helmet and fell to his knees then all of a
sudden he heard Sae scream his name in pain.
"NO!" Sage screamed as he
sat up in his bed with his body covered in sweat.
He buried his face in his
hands and took several deep breaths.
"Sage?" a voice asked through the
door softly. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah," he answered his voice shaky, The
dream was so vivid and freaky. Especially her scream. It was so hurtful he
didn't even want to think about what they were doing to her though, he could he
imagine what ever their evil sick minds were thinking of it was something
horrid.
"I don't believe you," she replied as she opened the door. "I
hope you're decent, but even if you're not I've read lots of medical books, so I
won't be shocked."
Sage smirked at her comment as he looked up at her.
"Dad says that laughter is the best medicine," Sae said as she sat on
the bed. "Nightmare?"
"Yeah," he said nervously.
"I had one
too," she revealed as she touched his shoulder.
Sage jumped slightly
at her touch. "Thanks."
"There's no need to be nervous. I've been well
brought up so I don't bite and I'm sure this is not the first time you've had a
woman sit on your bed or in your bed for that matter."
"That was not
necessary," Sage retorted angrily.
"I'm sorry," Sae blushed. "What you
do is none of my business and I shouldn't have brought it up."
"It's
all right," Sage dismissed as he stood up and went to the window and looked at
the stars.
Sae walked over to the window and looked out at the stars.
"There's Mercury," she pointed out.
"Where?" he asked as he looked in
the direction he pointed in.
"There," she remarked as the symbol of
Mercury glowed on her forehead.
"Beautiful," Sage remarked. "I've
never been much of a star gazer, that's more Rowen's department."
"Change makes you versatile," Sae replied as she looked into his
uncovered eye.
Sage looked at her then coughed to break the moment.
"So what was your nightmare about?"
Sae looked away from a moment then
walked away from the window. "I dreamt that I was taken from my lover by an evil
man and raped."
"I...uh..I'm sorry that I brought it up," Sage said
softly as he touched her shoulder.
"What about you, what was your
nightmare about?" Sae asked changing the subject.
"I...dreamt that my
lover was...taken from me by an armored warrior and I was powerless to stop. The
last thing I heard was her scream," he answered slowly.
"How long have
you been having this nightmare?" she asked as she turned to him.
"For
the last week," he answered.
"Me too, that's why I came here," Sae
answered. "I don't know what to make of this."
"Neither do I? You're
one of my bestfriend's daughter. He'd kill me."
"He's the one who sent
me back...I told him about my dream one night when I screamed out like you did.
So he knows, he doesn't admit it but he trusts me, although he left some
interesting notes in my back pack."
"So when's all this supposed to
happen?"
"Maybe nothing happens, maybe it's a clue that evil is
coming," Sae reasoned.
"What about us?" he asked. "You're saying that
you don't have the slightest interest in me?"
"Don't flatter
yourself," Sae replied. "You're cute, but I've got standards."
"What!?" he asked in disbelief. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"You figure it out," she commented as she opened the door and walked
out of the room.
Sage jumped in his bed in anger. "She's got
standards! What's that supposed to mean? I'm great quality. She should be
lucky that I..."
"You know incessantly talking to yourself is
one of the first signs of an psychotic episode," Sae commented as she poked her
head in.
Sage clamped his mouth shut and cover his head with his
pillow.
