RISE OF BAKUNAWA(Saga's Luna Story)

5. Luna: Oh, Great Saga!

I wake up with an unbearable headache today. Stumbling out from my bed, I open my desk drawer and look for my bottle of Mefenamic Acid. Taking out a pill and a bottle of water from the mini fridge, I am about to take the pill in but a knock stop me from doing so. The knocking can wait, my headache can't. So I swallow the pill and take a swig of the whole water from the bottle and throw it on the garbage bin near the door as I walk to it.

I open the door to a waiting Saga on the other side. Right arm, up on the door-jamb and the other is on his hips as he stares down the floor, waiting. As soon as I open the door, he lifts his head up and stands straight in attention.

"Luna, how are you feeling?" He asks. Eyes roaming around my face as if looking for something. Not showing any kind of emotion.

"A bit roughed-up and a migraine." I say as I try to massage my forehead, because the med is not working its magic, yet. "But all in all, I'm good, why? And...what are you doing in here anyway?"

Saga let out a sigh and says, "The head security team wants your statement from last night. Now that you are well rested-"

"I am not well-rested, Saga. I don't think that being roughed-up and having a migraine indicates a well-rested body or mind." Snapping at him, my headache getting the better of me in this way too early morning. I take a short glimpse of my bedside clock and it says, 6 o'clock and 18 minutes in the morning. Way too early for my 10 o'clock mid-shift for the diner.

I caught Saga brush his hand on his face, indication that he's a bit frustrated at something. Whatever that is, it's not my business and I wouldn't pry. "I know, I'm sorry, but, whatever happened last night after-whoever or whatever you are running from, had a victim last night."

"What?" I gasp. There was a victim last night? What happened to me last night? "I-I... I was in the forest last night-" I began in a tiny voice almost unaudible to the ears, but Saga heard it as if it is loud and clear.

"What were you doing in the forest alone, in the middle of the night, Luna? You aren't suppose to be out of the dorm past 10 in the evening!" He says. Shouting the last part, making River jump awake because of it and we both heard her groan.
"What the heck..." she grumbles, "It's way to early for shouting, you guys. Get out of here, I wanna go back to sleep." Muffling the last words under the covers.

Following River's advice, I walk out of our room, close the door behind me and face Saga. "If you want my statement about last night I will go with you to the Campus' Head Security, but I will not let you-" pointing on his chest, "shout at me for the things I didn't mean to do. Do you hear me? I'm not gonna let you raise your voice on me, because first of all, I don't know you. Second, you are no one in my life. And third, I don't owe you anything!"

With that, I turn my back on him and open the door to my room and turn back to him, "Wait here outside, 'oh great, Saga'." and slams the door at his face.

"What the hell?" River yells under the cover. "What was that for? Am I no longer allowed to sleep?"

Guilty. "Sorry about that River. Go back to sleep, I'll be out for awhile. I'll be back before our shift starts, okay? Sleep some more, I'm sorry." With that I walk in to the bathroom and did my business.

She only responded in an inaudible sound under the covers after that.

We are now at the office of the Campus Head Security. Both of us, Saga and I, are sitting on a chair infront of his desk, while Head Security Bardenas, skims the report provided by the security student volunteer from last night, headed by Saga and his fraternity.

It appears that Saga's frat is active in school work such as security measure and outreach programs that involves the university and it's student. Most student in this campus came from poor family, and in order to help them, Saga and his brothers created a program that will benefit these students in need. There are other projects as well but I have to drown them all out because it is not important to me, anyway. For others, maybe, but not for me.
