Pitch Black Heart [Multi-Anime love story]

6: Male talk

Once Tina was asleep, Zack looked to Rogue and Karma. "So...you two are afraid shitless of Tina, why is that?"

"She's rather powerful with her magic, which honestly neither one of use knew she could use in the first place." Karma stated

"I found out first hand when she electrocuted me last night when I accidentally walked in on her changing her clothes in the bathroom." Rogue said as he hung his head

Zack scoffed "You're an idiot, you were in someone else's castle and you didn't think about knocking?"

"It didn't occur to me that she'd ever take a shower before going to bed." Rogue said placing his hands up in his defense. 

Zack scoffed. "No wonder she's up in arms right now, with what she just told us no wonder she doesn't trust men. When we get to the harbor you two are going to need to help me protect Tina from Kanato, he's one of the people who are waiting for me to come back."

"Why did you even agree to have that crazy bastard be around you?" Karma asked confused

"Yeah, I'm confused too. I thought your family didn't agree with how the Samaki's worked?" Rogue asked confused

"We don't, but we're at an agreement about the shit statement. So what the fuck are you three doing anyways?" Zack asked

"We're going to my family's kingdom first then to Rogue's-telling our parents that we're going to marry Tina to keep the contracts going. Of course we're going to have to constantly have Tina play that damn video just for them to understand." Karma said with a sigh

"Wow, some shit you three are doin'. Listen, there's no way in damn hell Kanato is going to listen to some stupid recording. I don't want to deal with Tina going through PTSD with that shit, so we're going to need to keep them from seeing one another until we go through his own kingdom. It will be then that we can have them meet." Zack said in thought

"For once you made a good point there Zack, We can work with that."Karma said with a grin

"If it wasn't for the fact that Tina's tent isn't far from here I'd kill your ass." Zack said annoyed

Rogue sighed out. "We're going to have to work together and try not to kill one another, we don't need to add stress onto what she's already feeling. She's being pressured to marry people who she could care less about, I don't know about the two of you-but I don't want to see what would happen if she lost her marbles."

Karma looked towards her tent and sighed out. "Seeing that she's as powerful as she is now, yeah that wouldn't be ideal. Honestly I'm surprised that anyone from that family knows how to do magic let alone know how to defend themselves."

"Well she's a strange one that's for sure." Zack said with a nod of his head "We should head in for the night."

"Yeah. We should be fine here till the morning." Karma said before they all slept in different places. 

Rogue and Karma slept in their own tents as Zack slept just outside of Tina's tent only to feel a tug on his shirt making him open his left eye. He saw Tina who looked perplexed. 

"What's up Tina?"

"C...Can you...Can you cuddle with me Zack?" She asked flustered

He raised an eyebrow at her. "Seriously? Are you sure you'd want to ask me that?"

"Mhm...please? I...I don't want to be alone right now."

He chuckled seeing how flustered and cute she looked trying to hide her emotions from him. He sat up and he grinned at her. "Yeah sure, not a problem."

They went inside her tent and she cuddled against his chest as she shut her eyes as she felt his arms around her body. She remembered in her old life how she hated how Zack was treated and wanted better for him, she wondered if the people she saw now where because of her own thoughts and wishes. But she placed the thought to the side as she peacefully sleep against his chest. Zack grinned down at the young purple haired female as he saw her sleeping against him. 

"You're really a strange girl Tina, but I guess that's what makes me want to get attracted to ya." 

The next day when Tina woke up, she saw that Zack was still asleep so she let him sleep, she checked the other two tents to see that the other two were still asleep as well. So she found food to make breakfast for the four of them before she began to use her magic to cook. As she did her phone went off, she answered it after seeing that it was Aphrodite.

"Hello Aphrodite, may I help you?"

"No, just checking up on you. I saw how you actually went with the urge to cuddle with Zack Foster. Sleep well?"

"Mhm, The best in a while. Though I'm surprised to even seen him around here."

"He's not the only you'll see, Kanato Sakamaki is going to be around you soon so will another male a certain red haired male who likes puppets if I remember correctly." 

Tina stiffened. "Sasori? You're telling me that I'll meet sasori too?"

"Mhm, that you will dearie. Now tell me, what's your view on love?"

"Love is something that matures with time and effort on both parties part, there is no such thing as 'love at first sight', that's lust-which people confuse it for. Love can't be forced upon someone."

"Aren't you a smart girl, I'm glad I get to talk to you directly dearie. Listen, things will happen in the future to get you closer to the boys-don't get pissed off at them. That'll be all me. I am the goddess of love after all." 

She shut her eyes and rubbed between her eyes. "Rogue walking in on me...that was all you wasn't it?"

She giggled. "Guilty! What can't I get a little giggle out of seeing his expression?! I thought it would have been funny to see how you'd react to it and just as I thought you didn't disappoint."

"I'm hanging up now, if that happens again I swear I'm deleting your contact."

"aww don't do that!" 

Tina hung up the phone before placing it away and finishing breakfast before she woke up the boys. First Zack then Karma and Rogue, the boys were surprised to see that she could cook. She waited for them to eat to see how they liked it only for them to look at her shocked. 

"This is really good." Karma said surprised

"Yeah, just what did you do?" Rogue asked

"You two shut the fuck up and just eat." Zack stated before he looked at her. "Thank you for making this, for a princess you really know your way around cooking."

She half smiled before she ate her own breakfast. After eating and cleaning up Rogue and Karma went onto their horses. 

"So how are we going to do this?"Karma asked 

"I have speed on my side I can keep up with the two of you on your horses." Zack said with a grin 

"What about you Tina?" Rogue asked 

She was in thought before she looked to Zack. "Mind carrying me?"

He shook his head. "Nah, not at all. Just hold on tight princess."

She nodded her head. "Okay."
