The Lucky Ones

Chapter Thirty-Four: Our New Life.

The maids and butlers were unpacking my things, and Sans was helping. He said I wasn't allowed to help, so I just sat on the comfortable black-leather couch. Well, I was technically laying.

I must've fell asleep, because I slipped away from consciousness and into a different world.

A dream.

I was standing in a forest, with big and beautiful trees. The leaves were very green, and the ground was soft with brown dirt. I was barefoot, wearing a yellow shirt that flowed in the breeze, and also wearing jean-shorts.

I ran through the forest, touching all the plants and trees on my way. The scent of the forest smelt like dirt and fresh water. It was one of the Kinishan Forests.

I jumped up, and turned into a pure white Arctic-wolf with crystal blue eyes while in mid-air. I landed on all fours, and continued to run.

A black Arctic-wolf, also with crystal blue eyes, appeared from the bushes and ran next to me. We both challenged each other, running a bit faster than the other. We eventually stopped at a small pond with cherry-trees surrounding it.

I turned back into my normal self, and the other wolf did as well. It turned out to be Sans. I sat in front of the pond on my knees, cupping some of the water in my hands to drink it.

Sans stood behind me, looking at my every movement. He put his hands on my shoulders, and started to massage them. It felt really good. I kept drinking the water.

It tasted sweet. I thought it had sugar in it, but it didn't. That's how fresh the water in Kinisha really was. I liked the flavor, it made the water taste better.

Sans eventually stopped massaging my back, and I stood up to face him. We stared into each other's eyes for at least ten minutes, no sounds coming from either of us. Once we stopped staring, I leaned in to kiss him.

We started kissing, both of our arms wrapping around each other. Sans pushed me against one of the cherry-trees and kept kissing me. He picked me up, and I smiled. It was romantic and sweet, and I loved it. I wrapped my legs around his waist, and put my hands on the back of his neck to get into a better kissing position.

He slipped his hand under the back of my shirt and started to slowly move it up. I blushed at how it tickled my back.

Sans leaned into my ear and whispered "Baby, wake up." I looked at him in confusion. "Wake up? What does he mean by that?" I thought.

My eyes opened and flickered a few times, and I found Sans leaning over me while I was lying on the couch. He smiled and kissed my cheek. He said "You were smiling and giggling in your sleep, I didn't know what was going on."

I looked at him and blushed. I wasn't sure if I should tell him. He asked "Why are you blushing? What went on in your dream?" I giggled and responded. "I was in a forest, and I was running. I turned into a wolf, and you ran next to me in wolf form. We ended up at a pond, and turned normal. I drank the water, which was sweet, and you were giving me a massage. We started to kiss, and then you.. you went to undress me, but I woke up before you did..."

He blushed as I said the last part. "Maybe I should've let you sleep a little more, if you get what I mean." We both laughed. I knew EXACTLY what he meant.

"Mhm, you would have liked that story, wouldn't you?" I asked. He laughed again and nodded.

I looked around, noticing all my things were unpacked and all set. Sans said "We got all of it, don't worry." I smiled, and Ciano walked up to us a few moments later.

Sans faced him, and his scythe appeared in his hands. I stood up, and my bow formed in my hands. Ciano said "Relax. I just want to TALK," he glared at me. "to Salanta. No fights. Just talk. And alone, preferably."

Sans said "No. Last time you talked alone, you pissed Tesla off. I don't want that to happen again. I'm going in with you, or she's not going in."

I elbowed Sans' side. I mumbled to him "Baby, I can handle this myself. If he wants to talk to me alone, we'll talk alone. I'll be fine, don't worry about me." He sighed and nodded in agreement. Ciano walked to his study, and I followed.

We both walked in, and I closed the large oak doors behind me. Sitting down in one the black leather chairs in front his desk, I looked at him. "What is it now?" I asked.

He crossed his hands and laid them on the desk. "I wanted to resume our talk about you being Light. I know you don't want to do it, but you have to. If I could, I would have another child. But you know I can't do that unless you fail the tournament."

The tournament was what I had to go through to see if I was good enough to be Light. I would have to fight clones of living Kinishan creatures and people. Ciano told me of the Final Boss, it'd be the hardest thing I'd ever fight, even though it's a clone.

I sighed. I said "What if I'm not good enough? What if I fail the tournament? What if the people don't like me? What if I get assassinated? What if-"

He held his hand up, and I silenced. "You'll do fine, I asked those same questions to my father."

I looked at my lap and closed my eyes. "I'm going to be a terrible leader..."

I heard Sans bust into the room and walk over to me. "You be dissing yourself?! Aww HELL nah! You're gonna be the best Light that ever existed. So shush and stop dissing yourself, woman."

I laughed and shooed him out of the room, smiling at how he always wanted me to compliment myself, and never to insult myself.
