The Awakening Sounds

At 1st, Eric looked a bit surprised at a talking cat but quickly realized who it was, "Yes I am, why are you here?"

"i live here now." Chrono replied

"Good to know now why are you in this room?" Eric said, he had never liked talking animals much.

"i came to check on ou." he said turning to his human form and flipping his short blonde hair

"Good to know." Eric mumbled then began to eat the stew again.

Chrono sat down in the chair, "she was really worried about you." he said to Eric

Eric stopped and looked to Chrono, "She? She who?"

"Bou. she was worried about you." he said shaking his head

"Why would she? She doesn't know me." Eric mumbled then went back to eating.

Chrono shrugged, "she told Yuki if felt like she had known you for a long time." he replied

Eric looked back at Chrono, "Why would she say that?"

"ask her yourself." Chrono ordered. "she said if you needed anything to go get her." he continued

"I am not going to!" Eric said quickly then glared at Chrono for a moment before finishing the stew.

"whatever your chose." Chrono said shrugging, "i'm just here to make sure you don't run away. "

"As much as I would like to, I can't...I'm too tired..." Eric said then yawned.

"jack might be comming back soon." he continued.

"Good to know..." Eric said as he laid down and pulled the sheets over him.

the door opened slowly and Bou walked in rubbing her eyes, "is everything ok?" she asked

Eric shot up again, "Yes it is now stop bugging me, both of you!" he said sounding annoyed.

Bou looked down at the floor softly, "i'm sorry....i'l just go now...." she said softly. "no Bou-chan stay he shouldn't run you out of part of your house." Chrono said

"I want to go to sleep now so either both of you leave or I will make you leave." Eric warned them.

"is that any way to treat the girl who saved you?" Chrono questioned. Bou looked over at him, "Chrono.....please stop it's late we need to go to sleep....." she said softly

"Good now leave me alone." Eric growled as he flopped back down and shut his eyes.

Chrono paused then stood and left the room and was shortly followed by Bou

When Bou and Chrono left, Eric opened his eyes. Now he felt like crap, "I shouldn't have been so mean..."

"you should have stood your ground. your never going to get a back bone with what your doing." Chrono said shaking his head. "w-wel i didn't want to be mean to him...he is still recovering..." Bou replied

Eric listened to what they were saying, he felt really bad and not because he was a drift in the ocean for a few weeks.

"i want to help him recover...so we should leave him be..." she continued and then went to her room

Eric frowned as he set his head upon the pillow then closed his eyes as he said, "Crap...nice going..."

Chrono sighed returning to his cat form and walking to Yuki's room to sleep

The next morning, Eric woke up and sat up with a groan, his head was still hurting. He stood up, a bit wobbly at 1st but got steady.

Bou was in the kitchen cooking bacon, eggs, and pancakes. Yuki sat asleep at the table drooling at the smell of food, and Chrono sat by the window in his cat form bored.

Eric made his way down the stairs, he felt like he was straving. The smell of the food was making him dizzy.

"his royal magesty has finally decided to join us." Chrono said boredly seeing Eric as he walked to get in his seat

"Don't pester me cat, I am not in the mood..." Eric said as he sat down at the table then folded his arms onto it as he rested his head in his arms, he had a ruff nights sleep.

as Bou finished she spread the eggs out on four plates and did the same with the bacon and pancakes, then took them to the table, when she gave Eric his plate she wouldn't look at him.

Eric's dark chocolate brown eyes looked up to her as he lifted his head and arms up from the table, "Err...thanks..." he said then looked at the food for a moment then to her, "Look I am sorry I got mad at you last night..."

"i-it's alright..." Bou said softly then went to her seat to eat, her gaze never going to him.

"I was just tired...I never met to snap at you..." Eric continued, never touching his food cause he did feel bad about it.

"really it's alright.....i understand..." she told him softly though she never lifted her face to look at him

Eric looked at her, why did he care if he made her upset? Eric stood up, "I...I need to take a walk." He said, he needed some air to clear his mind, maybe the headache was messing with him.

Chrono sighed and began eating, as did Bou. Yuki still slept.

Eric walked out of the house and walked to the shores. Snow didn't fall near the shores but it was still cold enough to freeze the edge of the waters.

after he got threw eating Chrono walked outside and watched Eric

Eric sat down on the cold, damp sand, his legs crossed as he ran his fingers through his hair.

Bou picked up the plates silently after Yuki woke up and quickly ate. she left Erics plate on the table just incase he wanted to eat it.

Eric closed his eyes as the wind gentle blew, hearing the sounds of the world. Even though the world had changed, he could still hear the peaceful sounds that reminded him of home.

Bou watched him silently before she opened the door and walked outside to the peir that was near there and jumped into the water

As soon as she slashed into the water, Eric opened his eyes and looked where she had. Course by the time he looked, all he saw was the ripples in the water.

she soon came up for air and shook her head slightly then went back underwater
