“Oh no it’s alright…” she then looked around as if she heard some noises “hey did you hear that?” she keep silence to observe the sound she was hearing. “I think there is someone out there” she then followed Michoco on the way into the abandon house. “The voice is really close now” makes her a bit happy that there is someone out there other than them. She suddenly keeps silence remembering if she did kill anyone on the cruise ship because of her clumsiness as she walked while looking down.
“Yeah I heard that…I think they’re going to the abandon house” as he walked towards the house. He noticed Inma being so quiet all of a sudden “Hey everything is gonna be fine so don’t worry about it” as he looked at Inma. He then suddenly heard his sister’s voice then hold Inma’s hand quickly as they run in the abandon house.
“Honey-chan!!” while he saw the door was broken and quickly goes inside. Seeing the guy was infront of honey leaning so close with an awkward position, he then let go of Inma’s hand then kicked the blonde guy out of the way. He hugged his sister so dearly “don’t worry…brother is here now”.
Honey was relieved that her brother was alive and hugged him also. She cries like a baby infront of her brother burrying her face on her brother’s chest.. ”I was so scared onii…hic…and that guy..hic” she pointed her hand at Jeremy “isn’t a bad guy”.
“There…there” as he pats gently the back of her little sister. He looked at the guy he just kicked “I apologize for acting like that..I misunderstood everything”. He then felt Honey is hot and feels The temperature of her forehead “You got a fever” as he removed his coat quickly and put it to honey “wait here I’ll go get our things”.
“Nuu I don’t want to leave onii again” as she holds her brother tightly.
He sighs “okay then take a rest first…go to sleep okay?” while he patted Honey's head gently.
She clings to her brother as she closed her eyes and take a sleep.
He looked at the guy “My name is Michoco thank you for taking care of her may I know your name?” he then looked at Inma “you can take a rest now…sorry for dragging you all of a sudden if though your tired”.
She was just standing still and shocked for what happen but felt relieved that Honey is only his sister. ‘wait what am I thinking?” as she thought ‘erase erase erase’ while shaking her head. She then introduce herself and bows gracefully “I am Inma” as she looked at the blonde boy "what happened to you two?". She then sit on the corner as she looked at Michoco’s sister who seems sleeping ‘this is my fault’ as she thought and pitied the little girl.
He smiled as he watched the girl drifting off into Dreamland. He just hopes that her dreams wouldn't be haunted by the nightmare she had seen. Leo adjusted his hands to make the girl more comfortable. He was carrying her with one arm and pushing the supply cart with the other. It was easier to wheel the cart in the not-so-flat-but-still-tolerable-land compared to the sinking sands on the beach.
But, there still remained one problem, though—the lake.
Leo let out a soft sigh when he had reached the aforementioned lake. He released his grip on the cart as he made his way across the waters, the sleeping girl still in his arms. After the crossing, he gingerly rested her on the ground, hoping that the small impact wouldn't wake her up. Then, he returned back to his cart before making a cycle of to and fros between the two destinations, making sure that all the supplies were delivered safely in perfect—and most importantly, dry—condition to the other side.
After he had finished placing the supplies back into place, Leo Lifted the girl once again into his right arm, continuing his journey as if nothing happened, his damp shoes squeaking with every step as wet tracks formed on the earth.
She was already awake by now. From the sound of Leo's shoes softly squeaking. She poked him in the chest childishly. Why are you helping me Mr. Leo if I can call you that? She stared admiringly at his pale face and red eyes. She winced as she held her wound and covered it so he would not see.
When he was about to quit bugging the cute girl, a stranger ran into the house in an apalled manner. Before Jeremy could exclaim or stand up, the intruder furiously kicked him to the side. "Ouch! What the fuck?!"
“don’t worry…brother is here now.” the black-haired guy embraced Honey passionately. Then he knew he was the girl's older brother.
"Man, I didn't rape your girl," he rolled his eyes and spoke in a sarcastic tone. Not caring how much his words had embarrassed the siblings, he stood up and patted his clothes, removing the dusts. He gave Honey a playful wink as he heard her asserting him. "Thanks, little baka."
Seeing the blonde maiden stuck to her brother a lot, a wave of strange, disgusting feeling welled up in his head. He felt uneasy and unreasonably soured. He ignored the friendly guy's apology with an I-don't-give-a-damn-about-it look. But the guy seemed not to have noticed that.
"Jeremy," he sniffed casually when his name was demanded.
(Is it just me, or... DO YOU GUYS SMELL JEALOUSY? XD)
Leo glanced down when he heard the girl yawn. With a smile, he asked her of her conditions. "You may call me Leo, Marissa-sama. I am not deserving of such a respectable title."
There's a hierarchy that Leo was raised with;
His master
Master's family and friends
Other nobles
Head Servant
Citizens
Ranked Servants (S the highes, followed by A,B,C,D and E)
Unranked Servants
Criminals
//ooc : Maybe that's why he's subconsciously disrespectful to Jeremy xD//
So it was obvious he found himself humbly at the side of his acquaintances in the island. To answer her inquiry, he added, "It is a butler's duty to help anyone in need, Marissa-sama."
He curved a smile as he caught sight of the roof of the abandoned. "We have reached a safe place, Marissa-sama. Inside, I'll treat you of your wound." Winking at her, he grinned. "I can tell when my sleeve is being drenched by your blood."
Marissa felt bad about his sleeve and tried to push herself out of his arms/ arm. Sorry about your sleeve.Can I stand up now? I can't feel my legs. Your not my servant that's a fact. She frowned and felt like she was about to cry. She thought about what happened to her and how nice he was being to her and she had nothing in return. A warm tear ran down her face and she quickly wiped it off with her free hand before Leo saw.
"Of course," he said as he placed her down gently back on land. "Stand behind me as I will enter first to make sure it's safe for you, Marissa-sama."
He pushed the door gently. He had expected Honey and Jeremy to already be inside since he was the one to tell them about the house but he did not expect to be welcomed by the scene of Honey unconscious in another man's arms with dried leftover tears on her cheeks.
And is that—it is!
"Ojou-sama!" he shouted out loudly. The butler's face hardened as he eyed the unknown man cautiously. Without thinking further, he pushed past Jeremy and fired himself directly at the suspicious boy. He locked the boy's hands forcefully behind his back and swiftly pulled Honey with his other arm.
"You fiend! Prepare to feel my wrath of vengeance!"
//ooc : and of course, in front of Honey n Inma, his cool matured character flew out the window xD//
“What the hell is the problem with this guy” as he looked at Jeremy “By the way if you called my sister an Idiot again I’m going to ____” he then looked at the guy who just entered and looked at her sister “o-ojou-sama?”. He looked at the guy again with a confuse look as his eyes widen when the guy just rashly taking her sister away from him and gripped his hand behind his back. “What the hell are you doing?”
Honey was sleeping soundly when someone just took her away from her brother making her lively awake. She then saw the butler was holding her brother as she holds the hand of the butler and looked at him. “What are you doing to my onii-chan? Let go of him!!” she was already feeling a bit dizzy as she holds the butler hands tightly, struggling to let go of her brother.
Just when the hell are they going to be quiet?! Jeremy sighed. He was already exhausted and did not want to get involved in any argument anymore. The boy indifferently combed his messy orange blonde hair with his slender fingers, and headed outside alone.
The sky was already dark, decorated with many stars. Being a city boy in the US, he had never been in the mood of watching the natural scenery. He strolled to the side of the calm lake and sat down.
"I'm so screwed up," he muttered as he lied down and stared at the starry night. Pictures of his life in the US seemed to appear in the sky, making him feel homesick. His family was not the thing he missed though - he missed his familiar life back there.
Marissa followed behind Leo as he said and then when he opened the door, he disappeared. She slowly took a cautions step inside and looked around to see many other people. Leo? All she saw was Leo going crazy and other people staring. She didn't recognize who any of the other people were and took a few steps back out of the doorway. She looked at her bleeding wound and turned and sat on the ground. She winced as she began to pull off the bandage. The smell of her blood made her really nauseous.
"Onii-chan?" Leo cocked an eyebrow. Withdrawing his hands, he stared at the boy coolly. "I see. My mistake," he said, looking not at all apologetic.
After a moment, his face paled as he immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed his head humbly. "Forgive my insolence, Michocho-sama. I did not recognize you earlier." There was a slight tremble in his voice as he spoke. He knew about the engagement of Michocho and his Ojou-sama. And the future family of the household was almost as important and deserved respect equal to his own masters so his earlier impudence were unacceptable.
The smell of blood caught his attention. Leo stood up straight and went towards the door. Seeing the girl crouching on the ground in pain, Leo felt a wave of guilt. Forcing a smile on his face, he touched the girl's shoulders lightly. "Shall we go inside now to treat your wounds?"
He carried a mattress from the cart inside and laid it on the floor. "Honey-sama, I am sorry to be of burden to you, but can you assist me by calling Jeremy-sama back inside? I need him to carry the load from my cart inside."
Marissa didn't feel him touch her shoulder for her body was numb. She pulled her hands away from her side and wiped the blood on her jeans. Seeing her now extremely pale hand. Okay. She tried to stand up slightly only to fall to the ground and roll in to a ball.
His eyes softened as he eyed the girl. He leaned down and lift her up once again. Walking into the house, he sneaked a glance to his Ojou-sama. She must be angry at him for what he had done to her fiance. Turning away his gaze, he placed the injured girl on the mattress he had brought in earlier.
"Now, just stay still, Princess."
After 10 minutes, he had properly cleansed her wound and sewn them shut. Leo took out his glove and wiped the bead of sweat that had formed on his forehead. Smiling, he slowly stroked the girl's hair. "They shouldn't be a problem anymore, Marissa-sama," he assured her, confident of his own skills.
Thank you Mr. Leo... Leo. Sorry..She smiled slightly. Marissa felt extremely useless and helpless. Leo was doing so much for her and she was just whining and bleeding every where even though the cut was not that deep it was still extremely painful and bloody. She decided to sit up and get to work somehow. I feel better.She said as she slowly sat up.
"That's good to hear," he replied kindly. He saw the troubled look in her eyes and guessed that she might be feeling guilty.
"Then, may you accompany me to the lake? There's someone I have to see," he offered. "Unless if you prefer to rest here."
Marissa excitedly nodded her head yes and stood up dizzily almost falling to the ground. She caught her balance on Leo strong shoulder. Sorry. She said pulling away her hand and looked up guiltily at his face.
So who are we goin to see?
She turned to the door and realized her clothing was still covered in blood and saw her terrifying pale skin. She must have lost a lot of blood. She began to feel even worse for all the trouble she caused. She got blood everywhere, made Leo take care of her, and acted absolutely weak and useless.
Leo supported her briefly as she was about to fall down. When she pulled away from him, he rested his arms steadily. "Just someone," he replied.
He walked her out the house, staying close by her side. Grabbing a suitcase from the cart, he returned to her as they started making their way to the lake. "You can clean yourself there and change into something else," he offered her the suitcase. "Although, I'm not sure how you'd feel with these cloths. They're a bit..." he trailed off. "...different."
//ooc: they're lolita cloths xD//
Marissa followed Leo out and happily accepted the suit case. As they walked she opened it in her hands and giggled at the clothes. She never wore anything like that before and was excited to see how it would turn out.
Where'd you get this clothes? They are definitely different.
They were silent for a few minutes as they walked. Thank you. She said while shamefully looking down at the ground. For every thing.
After walking in silence, the girl spoke up and thanked him. He smiled in her way, even though she couldn't see it for her eyes were locked to the ground. "It's my duty, Marissa-sama. Even though I am not required to serve you but I would have failed as a butler if I had left you when you were in need."
"We're here," he announced as soon as they reached the lake. He could see Jeremy lying on the ground and staring up to the sky. "Jeremy-sama. I brought some socks for you," he paused. "But I dropped it along the way."
He hid the fact that it was on purpose, of course.
Marissa got closer to Leo and quickly hugged him and walked off with the suitcase to get cleaned up. She found a hidden part of the lake and set down the suitcase. Her skin and clothes was covered in dried blood so she decided to do the whole bath in the lake thing. When she was done she dried quickly and reached for the suitcase. She suddenly heard a hissing sound and looked down. There was a humongous snake on the ground in front of her. She screamed loud enough for anybody near the lake to hear and jumped away. The destroyed clothing was hanging on a branch near her ,and not near the snake and she grabbed it off the branch quickly, in case anybody actually came. Help!
He ran towards her voice, guessing the distance from the frequency of the sound accurately. Reaching her, he saw what was the source of her fear. Leo let out a slow chuckle. "How many time should I save you, Princess?"
Although as a butler, he didn't really mind as it was an honor for him to serve. He closed in on the snake, not leaving his eyes of it for even a second. His eyes softened when he realized what it was.
"It's a watersnake, Marissa-sama. They're non venomous and quite harmless to humans."
When he finally glanced at her, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. He let out a quiet cough and turned away to hide his blush. "You should continue what you were doing, Marissa-sama. The snake wouldn't harm you," he said as he started walking away.
Marissa was extremely embarrassed that it was harmless and that Leo had to see her like that. She blushed bright red like a tomato and watched him walk away. She reached for the suit case and quickly grabbed it and back away from the snake. She began to change and finished The light purple lolita like dress with a big black ribbon looked strange to her, especially with her black Converse. Once she was completely changed she put her ruined clothes in the suitcase to maybe save them later. She carried the suitcase as she walked the way Leo went. She began to blush as she saw his figure in the distance. She ran up to him , but kept her distance. She set the suitcase down on the ground next to her and waited for anything to happen.
When Marissa had returned, Leo was pleasantly surprised to see what she was wearing. Even though he was the one to have prepared it for her, but having Ojou-sama always rejecting his choice, he was silently pleased with the change.
"You look nice."
That was an understatement. She looked absolutely stunning with the dress. And, no, of course, it had absolutely nothing to do with his partiality towards lolita style whatsoever.
To Jeremy he said, "If you don't mind Jeremy-sama, I hope you will return to the house soon. Unless if you plan on sleeping here, of course, which I don't really mind but since I accidentally spilled an insect attractant when I was here earlier, I just thought that they might cause slight trouble for you."
Marissa was still blushing her face off and wished she knew anything about snakes. She could tell he liked her outfit and she felt absolutely silly, but it still looked really nice. She giggled at his what she thought was a silly lie to get the stranger named Jeremey to come back. Marissa still looked at the ground ashamed to look Leo in the eye. She still felt terrible.
Nothing just happened back there okay?
She said kicking an imaginary rock. Marissa turned around and walked very slowly the other direction to sit on a rock nearby.
When the butler lets go of his hands, he turned his way towards the butler while his hand rubbing the grip that the butler done. “It’s alright I understand…I misunderstand things also a while ago”.
Honey went to her brother hugging him as he patted her head “it’s alright, don’t get mad at him”. He then looked at the butler when he heard that the butler start ordering Honey “no offense but my sister needs to take a rest and I guess that guy Jeremy needed a rest too”.
After a few minutes he woke up and realized they were only the one left in the house. He looked at honey that seems sleeping on his lap. He carefully not to let Honey wake up but Honey felt it and woke up as she rubs her eyes and looked at her brother. “Brother is something wrong?”
He looked at Honey and patted her head again “sorry to wake you up, please stay here and I need to grab some things in the cruise ship".
“Then I wanna to come I already take a rest and got my energy back” as she smiled at her brother.
“Okay then” he gets up and take honey’s hand. He then saw Inma is sleeping quietly.
“Who’s that?” she then take a looked at the girl who is sleeping as she let go of her brother hands and put her brother coat on the girl. She then went back and holds her brother hands cheerfully.
“Good girl and that girl is Inma” as they started to go off and goes to the cruise ship.
"What the hell is that?" Jeremy hissed at the well-mannered butler. In the teen's eyes, the reminder from the man was clearly disturbance. However what if the butler was right? What if he told the truth. Jeremy would never want insects to crawl on him. Sadly the butler won.
The annoyed teen stood up unwillingly, giving Leo a hostile glimpse. "So what's up?" he was still angry at how his personal star-watching was disrrupted.
(Hahahahahaha it's so kawaii! Whenever Leo and Jeremy interact, there's something to joke about~ XD)
"It's an insect attracting liquid. Scientist used them to collect specimens they needed for research. For what reason I may have them with me when I was walking past a river, well, let's just say it's safer for you not to know," he explained.
Nodding towards Marissa sitting at a boulder, the butler motioned for her to come over. "Well, I brought some supplies from the Cruise ; cloth, water, food, toiletries and such," he conversed. Letting out a cough, he went on, "I took the liberty to bring along your shirts. But I apologize again for it seems I had dropped your socks somewhere in the beach."
He noted a hole in the land and discretely edged Marissa and himself away from it, the thought of warning Jeremy, err, slipped from his mind. "And I was hoping if you could help me set the thing inside," he finished coolly.
Marissa walked over to him as she was told and followed him back holding his arm along the way feeling dizzy. She held the suit case in one hand and Leo's arm in the other and did everything he said to. She noticed the hole in the ground and nudge away from it the same as Leo did. She began to think of the wooden house they were at just a while ago.
Where did the wooden house come from? The one we were in a while ago.
