Red Moon

Split Paths

~Lightning~

I walked to the door and opened it. Keyshia was in front of me. I got excited for a split second but then I smelt Inyu's scent on her lips. I wiped my nose. Fustrated and pushed past her. Arisa continued behind me.

"Hold up Lightning, What's wrong?" Keyshia called out after me.

"He clearly doesn't wished to be bothered by you." Arisa said with her arms crossed,

"Go away. Keyshia. I didn't ask you to follow me, you're putting yourself in danger just being here." I said half coldly.

"Hold up Lightning I th-" I glanced at Inyu with the Omnigon which shut him up. "I'll mind my business."

"Guys let me and Lightning have alone time." she glanced at Inyu and Hanabi. They nodded and headed towards the coast. I jerked my head at Arisa to follow them. With super speed she followed the road to the coast.

"Really? You're going to act like a dick towards me? I missed you, you know, don't you miss me?" Keyshia asked.

"I did. It was short lived." I replied a bit hurt.

"Talk to me what happened?"

"I'm fine."

"No you're not, come here Lightning." Keyshia comes in for a hug. I backed up.

"Don't jump on me when you also have feelings for another guy." I said coldly. "That's wrong to Inyu."

"So you're the only one who can like other people?" Keyshia said angrily. I sighed.

"I didn't say that at all. I'm saying don't fawn over me when you like someone else." I said with an attitude. "But if you wish to go there you're not the only one who is allowed to act jealous."

"Wait Lightning. I don't like him, you know I like you." She said. I heard her heart skip a beat. She lied.

"Do you really not like him." I asked looking at the ground.

"I don't know, I think I do like him." Keyshia said then she gasped and covered her mouth. I shook my head.

"Figures."

"Lightning don't do this."

"Situate your feelings for him before you start talking about your feelings for me." I said turning around. "Do not follow me."

"Lightning, I will follow you to the ends of the earth, you know this." She yelled. I walked up to her and looked into her eyes. "What are you about to do." She perked up.

"I said do not follow me." I said

"I will not follow you." She repeated. "Why?... How? did you do that?" She began to cry.

I continued to walk down the road leaving Keyshia behind.

"Lightning!" This time that was Kimmy's voice.

"Is that a traitorous voice I hear?" I said

"Don't be like that." Kimmy replied. "Look at me."

I turned around to look at her.

"What?" I said.
