The Sacred World

Chapter 21: Preparations

Banny and Chioma were at Chezray's home. It was a large home with the square perimeter of 780 metres. It had a very resonance design. Chioma couldn't help but to keep looking around and then finally spoke, "I can't believe that this is where Chezray grew up. It's just so..."

"Organised," said Banny leading the way to the living room.

"Yes, exactly. And Chezray is just so..."

"Brash," said Banny as he finally found the table that Chezray had referred him to.

"Found it," he whispered underneath his breath as he stared at the vast set of spheres that lay atop of it. Banny slid the bag off from his back and opened it, pulling out a bottle with a lime and milky colour liquid inside of it.
Chioma stared at him as he pressed one of the spheres on it's centre as it released a slow clicking sound and shot open.

"Oooo. What is that?" she asked stepping forward.

"A potential bomb," he replied as he started filling the open sphere with a liquid in the bottle.

"Then what are you doing now?" she asked giving him abnoxious puppy eyes.

He didn't give her a time of day and he simply answered, "Filling them with what will cause it to go boom."

"Ooooo!! Can I help?"

He chuckled at the thought and asked, "Can you survive an explosion of 500 Joules of energy released by a vervain bomb?"

Chioma analysed what Banny said finally realising that the liquid he was pouring into the sphere contained vervain essence.
"No," she said.

"Then you can't help," replied Banny raising his eyebrows for an exaggerated effect as he shut the now fully loaded sphere.

Chioma didn't take kindly to being treated like a child, she reached for the sphere. Banny slapped her hand back to stop her and he looked back to finish what he was doing.

"Ow!" she shouted at she looked at her hand.
He reached to open the next sphere and Chioma slapped his hand. He looked at arm where she had slapped him, his face confused as he frowned. He slapped her hand again and as she tried slapping his, he grabbed her neck. And in a moment of severe supernatural speed blur they spun around in almost a tornado like motion until Banny pinned her against a sofa.

He was now atop her and held her down by the throat. "Are you trying to kill yourself?!" he asked with a flare in his tone.

"On retrospect, if your plan doesn't work I'll end up dead anyway," she replied with a smirk on her face.

Banny felt something from within him burst into life as he looked at her, he realised how close he was to her. Their eyes inches away from each other. He pushed himself up from her and looked at her, his breathing heavy and he looked away. She got up instantly and dashed to stop him from walking away. Using her superhuman speed to block his way.

"Did I ever mention how hot you look when you're cranky?" she asked smiling up at him.

Banny stared at her, before he finally said, "Stop that?"

"Stop what?"

"That flirty thing you do with your eyes, it's-"

He was cut off as she put her hands on the rim of his pants.
"What was that?" she whispered.

"Oh, fuck," he said in a grunt.

"Mhm?"

He grabbed her wrist and lifted them up, she beamed a smile at him as he let them go. Her hands fell round his neck as he pulled her by the waist and kissed her.
He moved her to a wall, kissing her neck as she held her head to her chest and said in a sigh, "That's more like it."
