Chapter 55

"What's that?" said Claire in alarm.
We had been walking for a few minutes as I wanted to save as much energy as possible in case I needed to escape and running for a long time had already left my body tired.
"they're compsognathus...lest you get eaten by the terrible predators" I said as I mocked Claire who had been complaining all the way for not carrying her on my back to go the longest distance in the shortest time.
Hiro ("who knew Sam's sessions would be useful now that he was on the island...") had spent hours listening to Sam's dinosaur talk when he was walking around Jurassic Park with Kaede and now I could be considered somewhat of an expert on the subject of dinosaurs.
"ha-ha-ha...I see you love to tease me "Claire complained.
Hiro "Well sure...after all I feel more at ease bothering people while I'm doing boring stuff...something I'm doing at the moment."
Claire "In the time I was talking to you I noticed that you are too honest when you address another person...tell me you don't have any friends because of that sharp mouth of yours?"
Hiro "I don't need friends...I only need the people who serve me and are necessary for my future plans."
Claire "So you don't have any friends...then what would you do if something happened to the little friend you had brought along...I think her name was kaede?"
Hiro "Are you threatening me...?"
"Don't worry...I'm not going to do anything to a girl as cute as your friend is" the atmosphere was starting to suffocate Claire so she quickly answered hiro's question out of instinct as she felt something worse would happen if she didn't answer.
"You know you're a tsundere," Claire whispered.
Hiro "You said something"
Claire "nothing"
We had finally arrived at where Claire's nephews' footsteps led us, emotions were mixed between Claire and me.
She was very happy that her nephews were okay, as she had apparently repaired a vehicle which they took to possibly go to a safe area.
Claire's breathing was calmer, a weight had seemingly fallen from her shoulders as the glimmer of hope that her nephews were okay flashed in front of her eyes.
"Thank you hiro!"the excitement that her nephews were still alive put with Claire as she jumped up in happiness to hug me, she was shorter than me in my current form so the most she could do was place her face on my chest since with her heels the most she could reach was my chest.
"You know the atmosphere is getting a little awkward "I said as I looked down to find Claire who was still hugging me.
"I'm sorry" The mumble of Claire's weak voice was barely audible, the embarrassment in her voice was noticeable so I avoided teasing her.
Hiro "Well we should go"
Without waiting for Claire I proceeded to look for something to transport myself with since I couldn't carry the gyrosphere as I had to leave it on top of the waterfall, because I didn't want to show Claire about one of my abilities and besides I didn't need that gyrosphere much since I already had one saved that would be useful for the future.
"I had found a van which would be our transportation from now on, but the problem was that I didn't know how to repair it so I thought I'd ask Sam for help.
As Claire was deep in her thoughts, without thinking about it, I walked away before going to my inner world, where I found Kaede talking to Sam.
"Brother hiro!"Kaede's voice was heard in all the wasteland of my inner world, when she gave a scream before hugging me "Finally you came brother hiro...I felt a little bored when you weren't there...tell me we can go back to the jurassic park now "said Kaede.
"I'm sorry kaede...but I have to go...I have something urgent to do, so I can't stay here long...I'll need sam."
Kaede "But brother hiro...if you take sam with you I will be alone in this place and I'm so scared".
Kaede had put me in a bad situation so for the first time in my life I said the words I thought I would never say "Fine throw your demands what do you want me to do for you "hearing my others kaede's smile was not long in coming.
Kaede's smile reminded me of many girls in my life "Apparently I'm a very bad influence on Kaede...who knew she would learn many things from me...raise crows and they will tear your eyes out, there is no better saying that tells what I'm going through "a big smile didn't wait on my face when I finished laughing at what I was going through.
I had ended up corrupting little kaede...who knew that a few months ago the little girl who was smiling in front of me like a demon right now was a cute little girl who was just being innocent like most children.
Kaede "I want you to take me to the place you're from"
Kaede's words were like lightning passing through my mind, I didn't know how the girl in front of me knew about one of my biggest secrets.
("Wait maybe she just wants to know about where I'm from...maybe she doesn't even know that I'm not from the same world as she is")
Thoughts ran through my head, about the different scenarios, I didn't want to be too impulsive so I calmed myself down to avoid spilling the beans *Means telling a secret in the silliest way possible*.
Hiro "can you tell me what you mean?"
Kaede "I was talking to Sam about my family or at least from what my brother natsu told me...so I wanted to know where you're from and if you could take me there"
*sigh*
A big sigh came out of my lungs when I heard kaede's words, I thought that I had lived deceived by kaede just because I thought she was a normal girl, I had almost done something stupid because my body was stiff and I wouldn't be surprised if my body shot out to end kaede's life because of the nerves I had felt at that moment.
Hiro ("I think I'm too cautious")
I thought she was going to do something crazy so I sat down on the floor.
"Alright...I'll take you to my home" while they were empty words as I never said the day I would take her, I left no further discussion as I took Sam quickly and disappeared from my inner world to appear a little further away from the position I was in before I went to my inner world.
Sam "Are you really going to keep your promise to kaede?"
Hiro "who knows...only time will tell if kaede becomes important enough for me to take her with me to the place where I'm from to many more places"
