[The timeframe is set after "The Second Book" and before the trip to the Love Demon Realm.]
It ended up that Skylos, Masamune, nor Halo could break the news about the mysterious Time Books to Neon, the only one left at the cabin. It wasn't really their fault... Halo was forced to go on vacation with her brother and Masamune somehow won tickets to Tibet. Skylos, on the other hand, was too nervous to say anything without any back-up. So it ended up that two days had past since the last Time Book had been seen.
Skylos sat by the water's edge and stared pensively into it. Warm brown eyes reflected back at him. A smile appeared on both faces.

Next to Skylo's reflection would of been Neon as it looked at him.

Skylos raised both eyebrows in surprise and then grinned and looked up. "Hiya Neon. Swell night, isn't it?"

Neon would close his eyes and sit down with Skylos on the ground. "You've been rather quiet lately.." He said looking at him.

Skylos nodded and dropped to just a smile since he didn't want his muscles to get so tired. "Well. It's just been so quiet lately. Yamiken's been defeated, Japan is back to normal... Et cetera." he shrugged.

The wind would blow Neons hair alittle bit as he looked back down at the water with dreamy looking eyes. "Your never quiet.." He said. "You are never quiet unless theres something on your mind..."

Skylos chuckled. "Yeah. I guess you're right. It's just that I can't help feeling like some enemy is going to appear sometime and then muck around with things." He frowned slightly.

"Don't frown..." Neon said. "Your smile and personality is what I look up to you for...don't change that." He said. This was an odd thing for neon to say. He never said he looked up to skylos for anything.

Skylos's face reddened slightly. "Why...thank you Neon... I'm flattered." he smiled. "Is this a new thing? I can't recall you... Saying that before." Suddenly, he felt he should be completely honest about the whole time thing...

"Don't get use to it..." Neon said looking away. His expression was always the same. It was as if his face was always stuck that way or something. "Not like I am much to look up to either." He said laying back. "An emotionless dark human who has a lot of blood on his hands."

"If this is what I said about sparing Yamiken..." But he stopped himself. That wasn't a good thing to bring up. "Neon, most of that blood is from protecting us... We're not all perfect." He smiled, looking at his blue eyes.

"I know that..." Neon said. "People who think they are perfect usually are the ones trying to kill us.." He said.

Skylos turned back to the water. "Then I'm glad I'm not perfect. I'd be a maniac." He laughed. "So what have you been doing since we got back?"

"This..." He said. "The only difference was you were here this time." Neon said looking at his reflection with the dreamy look. "How was your trip..?"

Skylos continued on without remembering that Neon didn't know about. "Oh it was quite tiresome... Masamune and I had to navigate around 22nd century Paris..." he blinked. "You read my mind." He gave a sheepish grin.

"Without trying...You just told me." Neon said. "I didn't really feel the need to...what my friends do is their business."

Skylos smiled. "...Though I do think you knew something had happened...Maybe just an idea." Since Neon didn't seem to think he was crazy, he continued. "It's quite weird. I found a book with Time Runes in them. Halo read them and we went back in time. On another occasion, I read a phrase on the back of this Time Watch and Masamune and I went forward in time. I wonder where I'll go next." He looked back to Neon. "I'll take you with me next time, if you don't mind."

"I don't mind..." Neon said. "If you do need help then I can offer it.."

Skylos grinned. "You can always help. Your power is enormusly helpful. I just don't know when we can find another book. The books are only accesible when it wants to be.

"Your saying it as a self conscious will to it..? As if it were alive or something?"

Post by Skylos on Sept 16, 2008 21:16:49 GMT -5
Skylos thought about it. "Well. Maybe not alive. I think someone might be activating them. Kind of like a radio. You can't hear the station if it's currently off-air. My watch acts like a compass and finds the books."

"Someone huh..." Neon said. "Well...If he tries anything with these strange books we may have to take him down...unless he isn't evil that is."

"Well... I think I met the person who is activating them. He's appeared in both time frames. He's translucent, like a ghost and weras mostly blue. As far as I can tell," He related, "He's a good guy. But it could be a ruse..."

"What did his eyes look like..." Neon said asking the odd question.
|
|

Post by Skylos on Sept 18, 2008 21:41:59 GMT -5
Skylos smiled. "They're blue, like yours. Why do you ask?" He inquired.

"People who want to hurt others have dark eyes..." Neon said looking down looking at his eyes. "People who have grew so use to hurting others and seeing their pain...give themselves dark eyes." He would run a finger across one of his dark rings around his eyes.

Skylos scratched his chin. "His eyes weren't shiney... More like a stone... But they aren't dark either. He might really be a ghost." Skylos shook his head. "Or maybe it's just a projection of the real Zephyr."

"Zephyr?" Neon asked. "~Strange name...perhaps it means something.~" He said to himself. "Is that all you know about him..?"

"Yeah...Though I did catch sight of a blue lance stapped to his back in a little tube-like holder, like I have for that scythe." He shivered slighty, remebering using it.

"Blue lance?" Neon said also remembering Skylos's scythe. He got up since he was rather bored of just sitting there already. Neon never was that good at keeping up a conversation.
