The Immortals

[Lightning]

"Lightning we have been walking for literally hours." Hanabi whined. I stopped in my tracks. She looked at me with what looked like doggie eyes. I sighed.

"Here get on." I crouched down.

"Last time someone offered somebody a piggy back ride, some kind of make out session happened soon after." Hanabi teased as she was getting on my back.

"I'm sure I'm a better kisser than Inyu." I said.

"So condescending." Hanabi giggled and put her arms around my neck. She held me tenderly. "Let's ask Keyshia."

"Let us not." I replied.

"I never kissed Inyu, Keyshia's been with both of you guys."

"But you've kissed me before." I said.

   About two months ago I was coming out the shower, I didn't hear when Hanabi walked in the house my sensory skills has been all out of wack since Arisa died. I had my towel wrapped around my shoulders but I was shirtless. I had black boxers on. Not your ideal outfit when walking around in a house with a female you're not dating or married to, in my defense I thought I had the house to myself I almost went full nude. Anyways I walked into the kitchen as Hanabi was walking out with food for herself and bumped into her. The food dropped and she tripped. My reflexes kicked in and I caught the plate with the food and caught her from back before she fell. She looked me in the eyes blushed super hard and then kissed me. I didn't fight it, when she pulled away she freaked and then avoided me for a whole week after that day then told me after she got over it that it was a momentary weakness. Momentary my ass, she's been hiding her feelings for me for years with some silly excuse of respect. I just believe she didn't want to compete with Keyshia. I don't blame her. I do believe she slipped with her emotions though.

"You're the only boy I've kissed in my life, not much competition for you there." She giggled. Glad she can joke about it now. "So where are we anyway."

"To be honest..." I couldn't tell her I kinda got us lost. Daniel told us to go to Deer Park, Upstate New York. He believed an Exodia member lives there and that it would be nice for us to meet, I'm not thrill about the idea but Hanabi insisted on it, I'm sure this has something to do with her secret mission that she's been hiding from me but that's none of my business. Daniel told us to take the bus it will get us there in an hour, I assured him we would walk. That conversation took place six hours ago. "We're close don't worry."

"Oh look an actual Deer next to a Park." Hanabi pointed at a playground next to a deer that's behind a sign that said 'Deer Park'. Funny... punny. "Oh he's a cutie."

   Hanabi said looking at a guy appearing in front of the Deer. My eyes narrowed. He had long hair identical to mine, only his was green. He had a dark red eyes. In the Exodia everyone eyes are similar to one another. With all if not most having red eyes to this the exception to that rule are the Momoichi's. However there are distinct eyes that are noticeable in the five major families of the Exodia. My family the Xavier's have Scarlet and Crimson red eyes, the brightest red of the Clan, The Xeron has a purplish red, The Xerxes have like a dark blood red color the darkest red of The clans. The Xerox have a pinkish red. And The Momoichi's have the green eyes. So this guy definitely belongs to the Xerxes.

"We don't allow outsiders in here. Especially not a traitorous Exodia who sides with Erebus scums." He said.

"And his cuteness faded as soon as he opened his mouth." Hanabi sighed, her eyes glowed sky blue.
