Back to the City - 1

*Slash*

A saber swang through the neck of a huge red bear. A pile of bodies of brown bears, their sliced flesh and a pool of blood was just nearby.

The saber cut it's neck off, in a perfect slice. Forming a fountain of blood.

The figure beneath the bear, holding the sword was sprayed on, by the fountain. It covered him with blood, all over.

"Damned fucking bitch." Deryl shouted.

Titan was looking from the sides, "Told you, slicing slowly is the good way. But no, that is cruel, according a certain someone."

"Stop poking the hole you don't wanna come in."

"I only fuck gals."

"You wanna have another go?"

"Why not bitch? I'll fucking make you beg for mercy."

The both sheathed their sword and saber, and starting wrestling and punching right off the bat.

This was the seventh time in their sixth hunt. One time they had even started to fight in the middle of the, saying the other person was stealing kills. Even, sabretooths were baffled in front of theri weird behavior.

And that ended up making, mashed meat out of the sabretooths and decided not to fight together. One would keep watch and the other one would fight the hoard.

This fight after the bears, ended up within ten minutes as both of them were tired, not from the killing but fighting each other.

The both lay beside each, other in the dirt , blood and flesh.

"It's actually comfortable, lying in the pool of blood." Deryl said, while looking up into the skies, which were already turned red and orange.

"Yeah, beats me." Titan replied.

"What level are you, Dery?" Titan questioned.

"Eleven." Deryl answered.

"No wonder, it really was you stealing kills."

"It was not. It's not my fault that you're level 9. It's your slow leveling speed. What can I do?"

"Do you think I can do level 100, within three months?"

"Ofcourse you can. You just have to kill level 200-300 ones."

"Hmm. Yeah. Just believe in me."

"Is that a pickup line? Gay bitch?"

"You really want another one, don't you?" Titan lifted up his torso, looking for another fight. But Deryl ignored his mocking.

It was already the end of the day here. They went to the starting city, to stay for the night. They could live in the forest, but if you can stay in bed in the city, then why hard ground?

They appeared in front of the eastern gates. Walking with blood and dirt all over their bodies. They seemed like beggars but fortunately, there were no beggars in the Universal Skynet. Thus, the guards let them enter.

The gate was still as lively as in the the day, it was just the sky that had turned dark. There were groups still looking for people.

They asked for public baths, from some guys and went in. After about half an hour both of them came out, all cleaned up and dressed in new attire. Deryl wearing a tuxedo, and carrying a saber on his waist. While, Titan was wearing just shorts and vest like last time, with his sword and sheath in his hands.

They walked near the eastern gate, and sat in the open-air restaurant.

"Can we get two deluxe meals?"

He asked one of the mechanical waiter.

"Sure sir, what currecy would you like pay in?"

"MW Dollars." Replied Deryl.

"Alright, please make the payment."

"Make a card for me, it's my first transaction."

"Sure, sir."

"Sir, could you please tell me…"

Deryl continued his conversation with the waiter.

Titan, wasn't even listening as he had his eyes somewhere else.

'You're here, baby?'

It was the group of girls, whose leader had warned him. They were having their dinner, and giggling. There was less of eating, and much of talking and giggling.

Titan kept looking at the leader of the girls, on the left side. Blue eyes, Golden Hair and a beautiful smile on her pink lips. A girl in her prime, at the age of about sevtenteen-eighteen.

She seemed like packaged goddess, left on the plates just for him.

His stare was caught, by one of the girls. She informed the leader, and pointed at him. He was still dazed because of her so he had no idea, why her smile had changed into a frown.

'Eh, she looking at me.'

Subconsciously he waved to her.

Looking at him wave, the girls of her group started their giggling again. Natalia, didn't like the guy at all. He was just too perverted and kept looking at any girl, and now he was looking at her. The girls laughing at him, didn't help in any way.

Annoyed, she gave him a stare to the guy to stay in his place, but that bastard started to wave.

"Wait here, I'll take care of that shit."

She stood up from her seat and walked upto him.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Do you really want your ass handed to you?" She asked in an annoyed tone.

"Not mine, yours."Titan responded in an inaudible voice.

"What? Can't you speak louder? Or are you mum? You were speaking fine during the day." She said loudly.

"Umm… I speak fine, but... Uh, I am sorry about the thing in the morning. I wanted to talk about something to you. Yes. Yes, that's it. I have something to talk to you, but I didn't dare invade the grounds of those girls." He tried to make up some excuses. He looked across and Deryl was still busy with the waiter.

'Ah, I have to take this somewhere else.'

"You better not be making excuses for you perverted behavior."

"No, no. Would I dare? Why don't we take this somewhere else. It's really important."

"Okay, come with me." She felt she was, higher level so, he couldn't try anything even if he wanted to. Thus, she just went along, wanting to know what this fool wanted to talk about. If it wasn't something reasonable, she would beat him until his parents couldn't recognise him.

They walked upto the fountain by the cafe, with Natalia in lead.

"Yeah say. What is it that you want to talk?"

Titan was breaking his circuits, while thinking about what to say. But he couldn't.

'Damn it, it will be over before it started if I don't do well. Even that Deryl has girls around him.'

When they reached the fountain, and she stopped. And then again asked in that soothing voice of hers. For some reason he was reminded of something.

…

A youngman, laying on a lady's lap. His father and mother.

"Sweety, I have written something for you."

"What is it my dear, Tivo?" She kissed him on his forehead and asked.

…

"Uhm, I have written something for you." He said to the girl in front him.

'I hope this works father.' He prayed.

"What is it? What could a pervert like you write?"

'All girls like writings about them, no matter how shitty it is. A praise is enough to relinquish all thoughts about grammer.'

He reminded himself, of Deryl's words and tried to act best as the memories.

He looked at her, and stars appeared in his eyes.

"Do you know that I have fallen in love with you?"

"In just day, woah. Say, what you've written and I'll be on my way."

"Sure, my lady." Saying this he closed his eyes.

"The love I have for you, will exist till I my self rain...

You are my everything and will forever remain....

Without you, everything I will have will be just in vain....

Without you, I will exist with nothing but pain....

For you, I will choose my death over your life again and again....

No matter the circumstances you will remain my greatest gain...

For you are my love and without you, my sanity and life, I cannot sustain...."

As he spoke the last sentences, for some unknown reason, tears welled up in his eyes again. It seemed like his body followed, not just the poem but the after effects as well.

Thus, he couldn't open his eyes now, if he did she would see him crying. That would make all this feel a little too awkward. So, he just let his eyes be shut.

Natalia, was stunned. She didn't know why, but this piece of work was never seen by her. It didn't seem like this pervert could write something like this. But that was the case.

Something like this, she must have know if it existed anywhere. She was a literature enthusiast before coming to Universal Skynet, forced by her father. And that's why she felt, that although not too good, but it was an original, written by him for her.

'Why isn't he opening his eyes? Is there something left?'

She kept looking at him, as if expecting and he was waiting for her to go away, to stop his tears from flowing out.

'She wouldn't buy the "something got in my eye thing". What should I do? I can't even move right now. If it's a single movement it will fall, like the river Ganges on earth.'

"Didn't you say, you'd go after hearing me." He tried to speak in a normal tone, without losing control over his emotions.

"Yes, but I thought. You had something more to speak about."

She didn't know what else to say, she wanted to complement him for his work. But thag would seem odd, if compared to her previous behavior.

She walked by his side, and was about to pass. That was, when from the corner of her eyes, she saw something. A crystal like droplet from sides of left eye was trying to squeeze itself out.

She didn't think anything about it, as she was contemplating his behaviour and thinking about going back. But, when she walked a few steps, she realised.

She tried to look back, to see what he was doing, but stopped. For some reason, she didn't think it would be good to turn back. She had stopped for a moment, but then continued to walk away.

Meanwhile, Titan rubbing his eyes, trying to wipe off the eyes.

"These motherfucking eyes, what the hell do you have to pee for. Bitches, I will just take you out, if you do it once more. I would be embarrassed to death, if you continue like this fuckers."
