We got a new task, which was to rebuild a collapsing company. Unfortunately it was a multiple-persons task and while I had to work separately, the Twins got assigned to one of hes previous partners. Let's call hem the Silver Bullet. Due to orders the two and I had to keep our distances, so I could just watch from afar how they work. What was irritating was the fact that they do marvelous work together. Most of the time they were behind the scenes, but once the results were out everyone started talking about the chemistry between them that helped produce such great outcomes. It was VERY irritating.
Once there was a time we happened to bump into each other at an area far from our temporary-colleagues. It was too good a chance to miss.
WB: Hey guys. Funny to find you here as well.
TT: Yo. Working hard?
SB: ...
WB: Not as hard as you guys I bet.
TT: Haha. I'm surprised you can actually be humble for once. XP
WB: No really. They're all talking about what perfect partners you guys are.. which I'm not very happy about. *honestly*
SB: *suddenly cutting in* Why are you still loitering around here?
WB: What did you just say?
SB: We are not supposed to be near each other. Orders are orders.
TT: Chill, chill! No one's nearby. XD
SB: *looking at the Twins* And you are fine with that??
TT: Well as long as we don't arouse suspicions, that's okay with me.
WB: Heh. *sneers*
SB: *sighs* No wonder you get caught often, ever since you get to know this ignorant. *looking sideways at the Water Bearer*
WB: You-..!
SB: Amateurs are always amateurs. It's so hard to work with them. Come Hikaru, we should finish our task.
And the Silver Bullet just turned around and started walking away. The Twins cheered me up before leaving, but I still won't forget what that insolent brat just said. Yes, brat.
Luckily, as I was about to make waste the rest of the task with my spoiled mood, the Twins sent me a message to keep me moving. So I didn't flunk the task, as I knew the Silver Bullet was expecting to happen. That wasn't revenge enough though.
After a while the company started moving again and reached it's peak. It was the time we were aiming to leave. As the Twins was taking care of the documents, the Silver Bullet called me out to the rooftop.
WB: What is it?
SB: You should stop pestering the Twins, for hes sake.
WB: In my eyes, brats like you are the ones who are pestering him.
SB: Is that any way to talk to your superior?
WB: O-o Superior??! *gets really annoyed, but calms down* Heh, look, I admit that you're strong. But you must remember that I'm your senior and am definitely stronger than you.
SB: Oh? I recall that I joined the association before you did. And I was recruited, unlike you who begged to join. *calmly*
WB: *very pissed off now* You sure listen to rumors don't you. FYI I never wanted to join this all-year-round busy association in the first place. If it wasn't for the Twins, I'd never get in even if they get on their knees.
SB: The Twins won't be happy to hear that. *sneers*
WB: Unlike you, the Twins knows that I don't like the association.
SB: Anyway, I'll just repeat this to you one more time, since you seem so dense. Leave the Twins alone.
At this point a fight between us broke out. At first it was only punches and kicks, but in a short while more than that started to come out, which caused a loud noise.
WB: Fool! The people downstairs will overhear us!
SB: If it'd take you down, anything works.
And the fight ensued. Then there were the sounds of footsteps at the stairways. I couldn't see who were coming since the door was closed, fortunately I heard the Twins' voice telling the people there to get back to work. I knew I could count on hem to stall them, so I started facing the Silver Bullet with the same way se was attacking me. (DON'T ASK what that is)
Then as if out of nowhere the Twins stepped in between our fights.
TT: *trying to keep calm* Just what.. are you guys doing?
WB: Hikaru.. what about those people at the stairs?
SB: I was just trying to help you.
TT: *to the Water Bearer* Dimension twist. *to the Silver Bullet* Sorry I didn't get that. Help what?
SB: This *pointing at the Water Bearer* thing needs to know hes place.
TT: Look, *rubbing head* you're misunderstanding something..
SB: I believe I'm not. Hikaru, you're getting too loose since you started-..
TT: Enough Nausica. I won't allow you to hurt my partner anymore.
SB: I'M your partner.
TT: So is se. You're both my partners. And a lot of people out there too. We are one association! We're a team.
WB: ...
TT: But you must understand, the Water Bearer is different for me.
SB: I simply can't comprehend. And I never will.
With that, the Silver Bullet just left us. Se glared at me though before leaving.
WB: Honestly, se's just too arrogant!
TT: *grins* Ahem, well..
WB: Narcissism is way different from arrogance.
TT: *laughs* I know, I know.
WB: Can't I just finish hem off?? Ahhh, I'm so pissed off!!
TT: Take a deep breath.
WB: Haaaaaaa........
TT: Make that three.
WB: Okay I'm calm. *still frustrated*
TT: *just stares and smiles*
WB: You're enjoying this, aren't you?
TT: It's written on my face?
WB: All over.
TT: Hehe. Come, come. It's time to go home.
And so the episode with the Silver Bullet ended. Se went back before us, so I didn't get to do anything to hem, but I bet we'll meet again anytime soon. And when that time comes.. >D
p/s: About the thing concerning the Blowing Wind, we decided it's not to be made clear here.
