Chapter 8


Minako hesitantly took the stairs to the roof. Should she really be going to meet someone she knew was devious and full of trickery? And yet, there she was, standing at the entrance and staring at his back as he stared up at the darkened sky and the silver stars that twinkled down, the full moon high in the sky. Had she even taken the time to realize that tonight was a full moon?

“Did you know my mother died on a night similar to this?” Sage called across the roof without ever turning to see Minako standing there. She pushed a strand of blonde hair behind her ear and stared at the ground. How was she supposed to react to that? Sage’s laugh pretty much told her how seriously she should take him. She stomped over to him and joined him, leaning against the railing and looking out at the small world around them as he gazed over at her. “I just was going for shock value,” he explained to her.

Minako let out a sigh. “Let’s not play games,” she insisted. “Tell me why you wanted me up here for you.”

“Not for me, with me,” Sage explained. He let out a sigh and turned away from the night sky and the life around them to sit on the roof. “I know what Nemesis told you last night about why we are friends with you, but I wanted to assure you that it isn’t true. Nemesis is just…”

“…an asshole?” Minako suggested.

Sage tried his best to hold back his chuckle. “Well, I would not quite have put it that way, but Nemesis is my best friend.”

“Are you going to break the darkened silence and tell me the truth, or are we going to continue to play games?” Minako asked, a little more roughly than she meant to. She was surprised at the bitterness that spewed from her mouth.

Sage took her usual banter full of bitterness in stride, which only hurt her more. “I do not know what there is to tell you, honestly,” he explained. “You see, Nemesis is half right. It was an attraction to you that made us want to talk to you. Then Belle found out that you were raped, and Nemesis learned of your violin playing, and I saw for myself that you are not as sweet and innocent as you would like to appear. This gave you something called dimension.”

“I know what dimension is,” Minako nearly screeched. Why was her heart pounding so? Because suddenly Sage was making sense?

Sage nodded. “You see, you are unlike the rest of the people here, in a way that is uncommon,” he announced. “Sure, you are pretending to be someone you are not, that is a very common thing, but it is because you are hiding something. I have been determined to find out what it is since I began to see your eyes crinkle when you are angry and the quick flash of a deeper blue that disappears so fast that I do not believe anyone else has ever seen it.”

“You already know that I was raped,” Minako pointed out.

Sage shook his head and brushed that off. “In this day and age, almost one out of every ten women has been raped. It is an awful statistic, but one that is very real, and everyone deals with it differently. No, your mystery is deeper.”

Minako’s gut was twisted but she snorted off the accusation. “Yeah, I wish I was some great sultry mystery woman like you are making me out to be,” Minako laughed, “but that is not really it. The fact is that I just am a good girl caught in the body of a girl who was taught to do very bad things.”

“All ready I find you more tantalizing,” Sage whispered in a husky tone that made things low in Minako’s body react. She remained silent, staring up at the stars and feeling the heat of Sage’s body so close next to hers. She could have reached out and touched him, she could have unfolded his arms from the railing and made him held her tight against his body, but what would she do after that? Give to the man what Nemesis had said they had really been after? How did she know none of this was some ruse to make her trust him?

The honest answer was that she did not.

“So, let’s start off differently,” Sage suggested. “I won’t lie and tell you Nemesis and Belle aren’t right, and that this incredible urge to lift your skirt isn’t the most interesting idea they have had in a while, but there is more I am after. So, why don’t you and I be friends?”

“Sage, honestly, you are the only one I feel I can be friends with,” Minako told him with an honesty that bellied what she believed she should be telling him. Sometimes she was too honest, sometimes she was too secretive, she never knew when to be which.

“Good, all the more reason you should fuck me first.” Sage let out a bellowing laugh when he saw Minako’s eyes crunch up into that indefinable darkness that was swift, but poignant. “I’m kidding,” he assured her. “Tonight is just for staring at the stars.”

“And tomorrow?” What was this hope that sat somewhere in her stomach?

“Tomorrow, tomorrow is another day. I can’t think that far ahead.”

Minako leaned against the railing and for the rest of their time together they were silent, enjoying the heat of one another’s body reverberating between the two of them and swirling through the night skies. Would Minako regret this tomorrow, probably. Would she let it bother her today? No.
