Episode 2: Explanations
*Mirai is standing in front of Ryo*
Ryo: So, are you hungry or anything?
Mirai: *looks at him and shakes her head but her stomach grumbles at the word hungry*
Ryo: *laughs as he watches her face* Are you sure you’re not hungry? Cause I think you’re body is trying to tell you something! *smiles at her*
Mirai: I…I don’t really know if I’m hungry. I can’t tell… *she walks past him to sit on the bed*
Ryo: Well, I’ll go and see what we have to eat and I’ll bring it to you. *leaves the room and goes down to the kitchen*
Mirai: What a strange man… I fall from Heaven and he doesn’t even seem to notice. I wonder if he’d notice if he stepped in dog crap.
Ryo: *re-enters the room and has a bowl of frosted cheerios* This is all we had, but I figured some sugar would give you some energy!
Mirai: *takes the food and her face brightens* I loved cheerios!! *she begins to dig in and notices that Ryo is grinning from ear to ear* …What?!
Ryo: Well, I now know she has a happy side at least. Maybe now she’ll talk to me. Oh nothing… it’s just cute.
Mirai: o_o’’ …Cute?! What is this guy?! …What exactly does he think is cute about this?
Ryo: *sits on another bed in the room and picks up his acoustic guitar and begins playing*
Mirai: *finishes her food and watches him* You are the weirdest person…
Ryo: *plays a wrong note and looks at her slowly* -_- …What?
Mirai: Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to say that out loud.
Ryo: *continues to look at her* …well you did.
Mirai: *hugs her knees* I’m sorry. I figured you would be asking me a million questions or something… You know, cause of how you found me.
Ryo: *goes back to strumming the guitar* Not if you’re not ready to answer them.
Mirai: Oh… Good… he is normal.
Ryo: But I figured I’d wait to ask you because I might wake up soon anyway.
Mirai: I see. Well, do you always dream like this?
Ryo: …Of angels? No.
Mirai: I’m no angel… Then what do you dream of?
Ryo: *sighs as he stops playing* I used to dream about my girlfriend… *he looks up at her and then looks away* … >>’’
Mirai: *looks at him* …o_o Oh! Ew!!
Ryo: What? Hey now! Don’t jump to conclusions! I didn’t dream about that!
Mirai: Well then don’t leave the conclusions to be jumped upon! ><
Ryo: *smirks and laughs* So… *he puts his guitar to the side of the bed and stands up* Can you prove to me that I’m not dreaming?
Mirai: Why?
Ryo: *walks to her* So that I can think of questions to ask you otherwise… *he stops in front of her and looks down at her*
Mirai: *blushes* >> I don’t know what you mean, but this isn’t a dream.
Ryo: *looks at her with a soft smile and moves a strand of hair out of her face and tucks it behind her ear. He holds his hand under her chin and tilts her chin to look up at him*
Mirai: *looks at him in confusion as he leans down a little* O_O *she slaps him so hard that he falls onto the floor and she looks at him* That is uncalled for! >_<’
Ryo: O_O’’’ *sits up and holds the side of his face* I guess that counts as a wake up call, and you’re still here. So then I’m not dreaming! *he looks at her with a smile* So… now what?
Mirai: x_X What the hell was that?! You lean in to kiss me just so that you could make sure it wasn’t a dream?! ><’’’’
Ryo: Um… who said I was going to kiss you? I was just looking at your face.
Mirai: You-!… oh. *looks at the hand mark on his face* Sorry… I thought… oh.
Ryo: That was close! Note to self: Don’t try that again! So, what exactly is going on?
Mirai: *sighs* Well, it’s a long story.
Ryo: *sits cross-legged like he’s a little kid listening to a story* I’ve got time.
Mirai: Well… you already saw the landing.
Ryo: And that you have different wings, different eyes, and a great body.
Mirai: … >_< what?!
Ryo: Oh! Sorry… ^^’
Mirai: I’ll let that one slide for now because the welt I gave you is starting to rise. Ok, so um… I fell from heaven.
Ryo: *looks at her* So, you are, in fact, an angel.
Mirai: Yes.
Ryo: …Why did you fall?
Mirai: Um, I’m looking for something. Or rather, looking for someone.
Ryo: *looks at her*
Mirai: -_-‘ *sighs* No I wasn’t looking for you.
Ryo: Damn.
Mirai: *smiles a little* Here’s the thing. I died right? Well, I don’t remember how I died. I don’t know why I’m half demon either.
Ryo: So you’re not just an angel?
Mirai: No way! Angels are way more beautiful and a whole lot less clumsy. Angels … *her voice trails to a whisper* …are perfect.
Ryo: Hm… Well, you definitely are a girl.
Mirai: …Why do you say that?
Ryo: Girls always underestimate themselves…
Mirai: =o_o= *blushes bright red* Um… thank you. But if you knew me, you wouldn’t think that.
Ryo: …Prove me wrong then.
Mirai: << Maybe later. Back to the point! >< The point is, my friends Tenahai, Tsuharu, and Aranki sent me here to discover my past. Or at least, I think they did. I can’t really remember the details before I fell. *looks at Ryo who looks confused* Oh, Tenahai, Tsuharu and Aranki are my friends. …They’re angels.
Ryo: Ok! Now that makes sense. *continues sitting and listening intently*
Mirai: *looks at him and smiles a little* I can’t really tell you much more then that because I don’t remember.
Ryo: Aww… Oh well. As long as you’re ok, right?
Mirai: …Yeah. *yawns*
Ryo: Oh, do you want to change into something else? I have some button up shirts that might be better than that tank.
Mirai: *looks down* That would be nice.
Ryo: *grabs a black pin-striped button-up shirt from his drawer and hands it to her*
Mirai: Thank you. *she takes it and looks at him*
Ryo: ^_^ …Oh! *he turns around and walks to the other bed* Sorry.
Mirai: *changes and lays back under the covers*
Ryo: *turns around slowly to find her fast asleep* Heh… *he smiles as he gets under the covers of the other bed and turns off the light* Good night, angel.
