THEN HE DIES!.

***In the Continent 'Eclipse of the Oceans'..

***Inner Outskirts..

***Clingford's Martial Academy..

***Male B-complex dormitory..

***Tora Gosgutu's apartment-dorm-room..

..

*CREAK!*..*DOOR CLOSES*..

Motana wacthes calmly as the last person exit while closing the door behind them. Now it is just her and Gosgutu present in the space and unlike the recent times they have spent alone, Motana is feeling rather restless this time.

'Does he know? ', Motana thinks to herself.

Looking towards the calm Gosgutu, she finds herself reading nothing from his face. Taking in a soft breath, Motana decides to confront Gosgutu directly.

"Do you know?.", Motana asks softly as Gosgutu slowly walks to the sitting room.

"Do you have something to tell me?.", Gosgutu replies with a question of his own as his calm masculine voice plays through Motana's mind.

"I think.. you know something.", Motana says slowly to Gosgutu who keeps his silence as he sits on a single couch a few feets away from Motana.

"I would rather come clean than seem a deceiver.", Motana declares with Gosgutu's calm eyes resting on her.

"Troy is my brother. My step-brother actually.", Motana says while looking at Gosgutu's reaction with a bit of tension.

"That is pretty obvious from the sur-names.", Gosgutu comments with a shrug of his eyebrows though his tone urges Motana to keep speaking.

"We were never really close and becoming orphans shattered us. We seperated after an emotional fight and didn't want anything to do with each other ever again..", Motana explains though she is soon cut off by Gosgutu's cold voice.

"..Until you heard he had been killed by Navi.", Gosgutu says with his words hitting the nail as Motana now confirms that Gosgutu knows the full story.

"People are easy to cut off but not feelings and so.. you want the person who killed your brother dead regardless of right or wrong.", Gosgutu says slowly with his face calm though Motana feels flustered by his words as she looks down and away from his gaze.

"Why didn't you tell me?." Gosgutu asks slowly while leaning forward a bit towards Motana.

"From my family to the cause of my death duel.. to my cultivation potential. I already have too much flaws, I did not want you to see more of that.", Motana explains with a small emotional crack in her voice.

Looking at Motana for a few silent seconds, Gosgutu sighs softly as he leans back into his couch.

"You really should see yourself through my eyes.", Gosgutu says softly as he looks at Motana who finally meets his gaze once more.

Looking into Gosgutu's eyes, there's no room for doubt in Motana's mind to the fact that he loves her. Gosgutu clearly loves her but why her?.

This is a question that Motana cannot seem to answer. Motana is beautiful but she's not the most beautiful and she is smart but she's rarely the smartest in the room.

Motana is someone with high ambitions though her self-confidence is not as high. She does not believe in things like hitting the room with a single shot and she's definitely not a romantic. Martially, Motana considers herself as talented but compared to Gosgutu's circle, she's not even average.

So why does Gosgutu have that look in his eyes when he looks at her?.

What does he see in her?.

Gulping softly, Motana is pulled off her straying thoughts by Gosgutu's deep voice.

"No-one's flawless but.. you're different.", Gosgutu says calmly with Motana flinching from his gaze as she clears her throat lightly.

"By the way, how did you find out that I had a brother?.", Motana asks Gosgutu as she successfully shifts the uncomfortably romantic pace of the conversation.

"You hired a spy.", Gosgutu respond with his words not giving much information.

"I found out about the spy and who was being spied on. With this information, putting the rest of the puzzle in place came naturally.", Gosgutu responds calmly after a pause in between his words.

"I want Navi dead.", Motana says with he voice completely determined.

"I know. Though with you method you would have been the one to wound up dead.", Gosgutu says calmly with his words chilling Motana's mind cause Gosgutu is not one to talk without merit.

"You thought that Navi would die in the death duel so luckily you held back from attacking. Another thing that saved you is that Navi had to pay attention to his upcoming death duel else he would have hunted you down.", Gosgutu calmly informs Motana who frowns lightly at his words.

"I dad everything discreetly, Navi doesn't even know that Troy has a step-sister. Even if he does, he doesn't know who I am and doesn't have any idea that I have a spy on his tail.", Motana says with certainity in her tone though Gosgutu only sighs softly in response.

"Thinking like that is exactly why you would have been on the edge of Navi's blade if he has your time.", Gosgutu says slowly. He is someone that's trained deeply in martial battle and strategy and he doesn't have much qualms against educating Motana about the faults in her plan.

"Thinking like how?.", Motana asks with confusion in her voice while Gosgutu immediately responds.

"Thinking of Navi as a normal person.", Gosgutu replies calmly with a small shake of his head though he sees that Motana doesn't seem to get his words and so he breaks it down.

"Navi got followed by five bandits. He realized that he was being followed yet he went home at a relaxed pace that fooled his stalkers into thinking that he has not sensed them. If he can do this then what makes you think he has not sensed your spy from day one?.", Gosgutu asks Motana who's eyes widens in realization as she swallows softly.

"If he can find your spy then finding you through your spy would be child's play for him. Considering his tenacity then killing you would also be a child's play. I would always be able to protect you but you should know how to identify threats.", Gosgutu says calmly as he leans forward once more with a serious look in his eyes.

"Someone like Navi is a predator.", Gosgutu says slowly and Motana can tell that he means every word he says.

"If he had found you first then things would have gotten really messy real fast. Luckily for you, he didn't. Unluckily for him, you're mine.", Gosgutu says coldly with his last words bringing a chill into the room that warms Motana's heart.

"We would kill him.", Gosgutu says calmly after a few seconds of pause.

"How?.", Motana asks Gosgutu who once more turns his gaze to meet her eyes. Leaning back, Gosgutu responds casually without pretense.

"However you want.", Gosgutu says with his tone simple and final.

Looking into Gosgutu's eyes, Motana feels she has the words as she speaks her mind.

"I want him to die. I don't really care how he dies but the person who killed my brother should not be allowed to live.", Motana says while breathing a bit heavier at the end of her words.

"Then he dies.", Gosgutu calmly says without a change in his calm expression.

"He dies before the end of the week.", Gosgutu completes his words while Motana nods her head in relieve cause she knows that it is done.

Calmly pushing himself off the couch, Gosgutu turns his head to Motana before speaking.

"I will be off for a shower.", Gosgutu says calmly with a deep breath as he slowly begins to walk away.

"I'm coming too.", Motana says while causing Gosgutu to raise a brow at her though he doesn't stop her as she follows him though shyly.
