Grandfather's Clock [ A and T Oneshot Fanfic ]

Meeting Again

- Extra From Chap 6 -
Aka 6.5

Mirai ran away from the so-called Grandfather's clock. She ran far, far away as she reached the Time Forest. She noticed the cloak had reached its limit that it made her visible.

Not wanting someone to see her stained in blood because of committing murder, she tried to touch her skin with the remaining handle of the knife which has a small remaining piece of its blade left. She tried to make wounds on her arms and legs so that she would be recognized as a victim.

She put the knife in her pocket and continued running. Until she slipped over a log and fell, receiving a scratch from the ground.

"It's painful..." she thought while trying to stand up.

"Hey! Are you okay?" a voice, somehow familiar to Mirai.

She looked up and met the boy with familiar star purple eyes, who was using his magic board.

"K-Ken.. nii..." Mirai muttered.

"M-Mirai!?" Ken immediately jumped off his magic board, which later disappeared, and ran over the 'wounded' girl. He reached her arms as he held her.

"Mirai, what the hell did you do?!"

"Ken-nii... I'm sorry..." the girl pulled his bluish-lavender cloak as she sobbed on it. Ken sighed and hugged the girl back.

Seeing her in pain is not what he wants but to see her happy.

"You better explain to me what happened earlier."

The warlock just finished curing Mirai's wounds. White gauzes were seen on her arms and legs. Mirai tried to touched one but Ken slapped her hand, saying,

"Don't touch it.".

With a furious expression on his face.

Mirai made a small pout and covered herself with Ken's blanket
(FYI, she's on his bed).

"D-Don't ignore me either!"

"Hey Master! Oh, tweet~"

Mirai knew who was it. It was Lenn, the bird. Such a nice name to name him like that. Lenn, the bird. The bird, Lenn. Yes, she liked it but she hated him a lot.
Because wow. He's annoying as hell-

"Are you trying to say 'sweet'?" asked the warlock, with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"If I did, I know I'll be trapped on that cage." chirped Lenn while pointing the small golden cage hanging on the ceiling with his feathery wing.

"... I'll count up to three."

"OKAY!" the bird flew away to the window, not wanting to be trapped in a such nice cage.
( But its beautiful dammit D: )

' Why did you fly away... '

thought the girl. She knew Ken doesn't forget things even this. He'll continue to ask until he got the right answer.
