Shurui And Yuki: The Quest Continues...

Chapter 21

A bird chirped constantly in a random tree. Yuki was very much annoyed by this but he was not going to be the first one to speak in the team. Two hours had come and literally just gone. It just struck 3pm on half of the world.

Two hours walking in the forest. Two hours and one minute of awkward be anxious silence. Two hours and two minutes of hearing only one thing common between the team members. Foot steps.

[The sound of the forest isn't that bad. Actually peaceful] Hioto thought looking around at the now interesting trees.

[So the next insect is the Dermis Queen Bee...but with this ridiculous feud between us I don't even want to talk. No one does] The only female of the group and not even she can bring them together again.

[What is wrong with him?! You can't just....UGH! Even thinking about it gets me irritated. And to make it worse, when he first saw me he didn't even say anything about it! And now he thinks he could just come to me with his sorry ass excuses!? If we didn't have to do that truth task I wonder if he would have said anything to me at all?!] To put down the sword was not one of Yuki's strong suits. And Shurui knew better than to try to reason with him when he is pissed, especially at him.

[You almost got caught there...

Yes I know! And why the hell did you tell them that?!

Well, I can't let you lie. I don't want my best spy to go to waste...

You know very well with your mind manipulation you could have lied and tricked them into thinking it was the truth.

What ever could you be talking about? I know nothing about what you speak of. Such folly...

GOODBYE F.O.R.K!!!]

[I know he's angry at me. That scowl on his face speak enough. Even if he doesn't forgive, I have a world to save, with or without you. I know I can do it. I won't need your help to defeat F.O.R.K. Well...except for FERRA. So be as angry as you'd like. It was years ago anyway, I don't know why you can't just forgive and forget] Shurui wasn't angry persay...just a bit rankled at the fact that Yuki just couldn't let it go, for reasons he didn't know.

[Huh....so this is what they call...heartbreak. It's a strange feeling....a very very....painful, strange feeling...maybe one day...out of some miracle...I can have her in my arms forever...one day in my dreams] Nyozom couldn't even think anymore. Thinking just hurt.

The entire team was just waiting for someone to say Something, anything. But who really wanted to speak amongst this silent situation?

"Oh my God! You people are so ridiculous!" Warm did. Warm wanted to speak amongst this silent situation.

"I know how you all are feeling. Angry..." He mindfully looked at Yuki, "sad, guilt..." His eyes switched to Nyozom and Ziora, "irritation..." Shurui averted his gaze once Warm came with his, "seems like contentment, maybe even happiness..." Hioto shrugged knowing he was right, "and what I think is... embarrassment!"

"That was seriously uncalled-for..."

"What was?" though Chintaman was talking to FORK, Ziora didn't know how his statement related to what Warm said.

"Oh uh.... nothing....just that ummmm, that test the Guardian gave" what a smooth lie.

"Anyway, listen to me. I know we all aren't connected like we were but, we have to start searching for the Dermis Queen Bee. I told you about her already"

Warm switched to Yuki, and he spoke to Ziora, "We know, we remember. It's just strange between all of us right now"

"You know what I can't get over?" Chintaman was finally voicing his option.
