Shadows of a Life

Chapter 8: Insanity at it's Finest

    "Do you know where that bastard fled off to?" Ra asked me. I shook my head. Anubis had fled through a portal either to the divines or the shadows. That's the only thing I could assure.

"He could have fled to either the divines or the shadows judging by the portal he opened."

"Then he would be in the Shadow Dimension. Anubis is banned from the Divines."

The twins Kaosu and Soran were probably shadows he managed to convince to help him. "What does Anubis want anyways?" I asked Ra.

"Probably revenge... I highly doubt he would be trying to create peace." Ra rolled his eyes.

     I wondered what Anubis would want revenge for. I had a feeling it wasn't just because he was kicked out of his home dimension. It took me a moment to realize that Anubis was sort of like me in a very distant way. I pushed that thought out of my head immediately. Anubis didn't exactly seem like a person I should compare myself to. I must of zoned out entirely because Ra poked my cheek a couple times.

"What?" I asked after shaking my head.

Ra laughed a bit, "You zone out way to easy." I laughed a bit as well because it was in fact true. I did zone out often.

"So, are you going to hunt Anubis down in the Shadow Dimension?"

"That stupid dog isn't worth my time, " Ra muttered.

"Oh...okay...Then why did you come down to Earth if you weren't going to go after him?"

A light blush spread across Ra's face "Uh...because..I was..uhm going to make sure that...uh...Anubis didn't kill any...uh mortals...yeah..." I highly doubted that was the actual reason why he came down here. I nodded slightly, "So, you going to stay here or...are you going back to the divines?" I asked him.

"I can stay here if you want me to," Ra offered. Great. I bit my lip thinking. If I asked him to stay would he think me as selfish? But if I said he could go back to the divines would he think that I didn't want to be with him? "Okay," I tried my hardest not to blush or look weird even though I probably failed at both, "I wasn't planning on doing much anyways..." I started walking back to my room and Ra followed. He walked close next to me and I'm pretty sure I blushed every time his hand brushed mine. 

     Ra's hand brushed mine for what felt like the millionth time, but this time his hand clasped mine. I shrank my head back into my neck and looked away hoping he didn't notice my face flushed with pink. Just before we reached my room, I realized that I didn't exactly want to go to my room anymore. I was quiet happy just walking with Ra so I had no idea why there was even a point to go to my room anyways. Even with that thought I still walked towards my room with Ra's fingers laced between mine. I tried to stifle a yawn and failed miserably.

"Are you tired?" Ra looked at me smiling.

I nearly yawned again but managed to stop this time, "No,"

Ra snickered a bit, "You are tired aren't you,"

I sighed, "Maybe a bit," I didn't feel like sleeping now, not when an extremely hot god was holding my hand. I twisted the door knob open and sat on the edge of my bed with Ra sitting next to me. I leaned my head on his shoulder and smiled a bit. Ra was gently running his fingers through my hair. I closed my eyes and lack of sleep won over.

     I slept for what seemed like a long time without any dreams whatsoever. When I woke up Ra was still sitting with me, only his head was rested on top of mine and his arms were around me.  He didn't seem to notice that I was awake until I yawned again. Why did I yawn at the worst fucking times possible?

"Oh, your awake." Ra said lifting his head off mine.

I smiled, "Yeah..." I rubbed my eyes groggily and looked outside. It was about noon. I had slept through half the day. Half of a day wasted sleeping with a god who was probably bored out of his mind. Then again even if I was awake, I wasn't particularly exciting. Since I didn't want to seem boring as hell I decided to ask a random and awkward question, because I was just that sort of person.

"Did you think about me when you left to go back to the divines last night?" I smiled slightly as Ra blushed. I knew I had embarrassed him and I knew he probably did think about me. I watched Ra try to find words but fail. I leaned forward and kissed him. It wasn't a crazy, love filled kiss like last night but it worked. I caught him by surprise. He was blushing a lot now and I could help but smile a bit. "I-I love you," I said stammering a bit. "I love you too," He returned before kissing me on the forehead. "You don't have to stay here with me, you can go back to the divines if you want," I said blandly.

Ra shook his head, "It's okay, I can stay here," I tried best not to look dissapointed. Honestly I just needed to be alone for a bit, "But I can leave if you want," Ra offered. I felt guilty just staring at him and considering saying okay. I probably seemed selfish. Ra got up and opened a portal to the divines without waiting for an answer. "See you later Dark," He said waving before stepping through the portal. I fell over on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I wondered what happened to my sister after she saved me from Kaosu and Soran. I got up and walked out into the corridors looking for her.  It didn't take long to find her.

      Shade was stalking some poor human being who was trying to survive the castle. The man was hiding in a corner from some monster and Shade was probably going to cast a spell on him to make him pass out. I grabbed my sisters arm and dragged her away before she could do any harm. She glared at me. "What?" I asked slightly offended.

"I was going to kill him but you ruined that..." She replied angrily. My sister was wearing purple eyeliner, lip gloss and eyeshadow today which was rare. Shade never wore makeup unless she was trying to impress someone. It took me a moment to remember that my sister had a boyfriend, despite her malicious ways and honestly last time I checked her boyfriend was evil as well. "Were you planning on seeing Kagami today?" I asked just to bother her.

"NO!" She yelled her face flushed with pink. I snicked. Making my sister mad was easy and when she got mad she did stupid things so it was twice as funny. "I'm sure Kagami would be impressed that you wore makeup just for him." I felt a tapping on my shoulder and turned around to see none other then Kagami behind me. Kagami had pure white hair and pale skin. He was nearly blind so he wore a blindfold and there was a black marking on the left side of his face. Kagami wore his usual simple red tie with a white shirt and faded jeans. He looked pretty angry too.

"Okay well....I have to go, see you two later bye!" I said quickly while walking through a wall into another room. I checked out my surroundings. The walls were dilapidated and there was a lot of torn up furniture. Standing in the center of the room was none other then Anubis. He didn't notice me yet. I melted into the wall in silhouette form. I moved to a couch so I could hear Anubis. He was muttering absolute nonsense to himself. Something about drowning birds in the Nile while killing people. I hid in the couch and stared at him very confused. Anubis kept talking to himself, foaming at the mouth a little. This guy was absolutely insane.

    He kept talking to himself and I got extemely annoyed at him. I turned back into normal form and started screaming, "WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?!" Anubis turned around and glared at me. He seemed incredibly angry. Anubis was holding two weapons that resembled miniature scythes. The god was growling. "I'm going to kill you!" He yelled lunging at me.
