Celestial Zone 2.1 Fanfic Novel - Chapter 6: Introduction and Cooperation

author's notes: When a girl is asked to wash a man's clothes, it is akin to a marriage proposal.

Jianne shifted her weight a bit, conscious of a rock poking her uncomfortably. She thought, “Gosh… am I saved or am I captured? Anyways, I gotta go out of this first. But he fights well, damn!”

As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she slowly began to survey her surroundings. They appeared to be in some sort of cavern, Trench Coat slouched near the exit while she was against a wall further back. Trying not to move too obviously, Jianne tried to shift into position so that she can deal with anything should it comes.

So intense was her concentration on not moving obviously, she did not noticed that the sobs and curses had died down, silence reigned. A snort of laughter followed by, “You don’t have to move so slow, I know you are awake, lady.” broke into her concentration, it caused her to blush and stop moving entirely. Jianne gave up, she moved into a crouching position and stare at Trench Coat warily.

“Where are we? Who are you? What do you want with me?” She shot, after a moment of staring at a set of alert eyes full of mysterious promises.

“We are in Japan, of course. In a cave, as you can see. I am Chiaki Hirotama, AKA. Fast Hands, Japanese, of the late Ichiken Team. I could ask you the same question. And I want nothing from you.” Came the reply, lazy with a touch of arrogance and amusement.

Holding up a pendant with a dozen roses, Hiro said with a touch of self-reprisal, “I came for this. I sacrificed my team for this. I killed for this, yet now I do not think it is worth the price I paid.”

“Before you ask more, I am an ESPer. I have unique abilities and powers normal people do not have. This cave is proof of it. This is made by me. It took me an hour. This is Chiisagatagun, I don’t think it’s that easy to find a cave.” Hiro continued, staring intensely at her.

Jianne looked startled, “Jianne Makov, Russian.” She narrowed her eyes, “If I believed u made this cave in an hour, I’ll be a fool. If I believe you have special powers, more fool I am.”

“That’s fine. If we survived another attack, I’ll show you. Wanna bet, if you lose, you gotta wash my clothes.” Hiro chuckled. He stood up and tossed her a dagger, identical to the one that appeared in his right hand in a reversed grip.

Jianne gave a feral smile, “If we survived…” Hiro looked back, a fierce twinkle in his eyes, a tight smile on his lips,”Prepare to wash my PJs.”

The wind started howling, that night, the sky promised death.
