Anubis's Bride

Long Awaited Reunion

I got butterflies as he approached me further. I could feel my face turn red and my body heating. I could feel his strong deep violet aura giving me goosebumps as I heard his soft, yet low voice in my ear: "we have quite a lot of catching up to do, don't we?" I shuddered. But, I've known him long enough to have my ways of playing his game right back at him. Sure, it's been a couple of years but if I'm able to remember every single mushroom type in Avidya Forest, Remembering my old crush's soft spots is nothing. "Cut the crap, mr. sweettalk. You'll be punished for mingling amongst dangerous species of plants ,let alone infecting them with illegal substances. I never knew the akademiya pride and joy; Cyno, the grand General Mahamatra', would be so naughty nowadays. Hmm?" I knew I hit the right spot when his smirk shifted into surprise, then back into his usual work face with a soft smile.

"Will treating you to a meal be enough to let me off the hook? I'll tell you everything." He said charmingly. How do I say no to that? My life long crush asking me out for dinner? wait, no. Just as friends right now. I never even knew if he liked me back or not. Calm down, Nari. I knew my mr-tough-guy act had been blown when I noticed him staring at my bright cheeks and lost expression. "U-uh sure, when and where?" "that little cafe at the end of akademiya road. Heard the have really great veggie wraps. Meet me at 3 pm, Friday evening" "Okay, I'll see you then!" I replied. I can tell that I sounded too happy, and I knew he could tell too. He walked off with a smile and pulled his cloak over his beautiful body and chiseled abs. I stared in awe at the sight of this man angel. I quickly checked the time, and realized it was almost the break of dawn. I had to hurry back before Collei and the other rangers awoke, so they wouldn't know I had been proceeding with the investigation on my own. I caught a glimpse of cyno look back at me, with his ruby red eyes gleaming in the rising sun.
