Chapter 1: Rather Be
The moon shines down in Hamel's castle vacant hallways. A girl appears with long ebony locks and eyes so sincere in worth and colored like honey. She walks the vacant hallways admiring the silence, yet dreading it because it all reminds her of the brother she once had. She knew she chose Yama Raja as a way to get stronger and potentially free Aren, or as he calls himself, Ran. The young Yama Raja is only 19 yet has the blank expression of those in their 60's facing Alzheimer. Those honey eyes seem to lackluster as she can only remember the battle she had with her brother two nights ago.
"Eh, What's the matter little sister? Do you have no shame? No shame that you are weak. "Ran said as he towered over Ara who was holding her side and trying not to cower in fear. "A.. Aren… please stop this… I… I need you back! P—"She wheezed, "P… please come back to being a Haan… and my older brother…" she coughed and then looked up at the tall man in front of her, knowing his answer already, yet trying anyways. "Don't you see, you are dead to me?" He said through gritted teeth, "I wish I had the opportunity to kill you before you had that stupid fox to save your life." Aren bent down in front of a tearing Ara and smiled evilly, "Besides since I am the only thing you can think about, you can't even see your teammate's hard work trying to cheer you up, to distract you, to make you one of them. For all I know you are just a nuisance, didn't that boy with the Nasod Dynamos tell you that? Don't you care for what he thinks? I may dislike you, but even I can tell when the flower is about to bloom." With that Ran delivered a swift punch to his little sisters stomach. As Ara began to double over and lose consciousness she heard a familiar voice yelling, "ARA! DON'T BE AN IDIOT!" Those words brought sadness to her heart, yet it made her smile; she fell into unconsciousness.
She leaned against the castles wall, holding her stomach and singing to herself a song as the coolness of the wall seem to bring her out of her reminiscence.
"If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shake me"
Ara looked up at the moon and thought out loud: "It's funny how I can sing that song, and how well it relates-"
"Relates to what 'Hell's Judge'." A boy with wild yet soft looking silver hair and magenta eyes came walking towards Ara.
"Did I wake you Add?" Ara focused on the moon and didn't notice the slight look of worry on the Lunatic Psyker.
"What? Who are you and what have you done with Ara? You know you look just like her, except she was gee. I don't know, happy? Also the Ara I know would not have cared if she woke me up because the Ara I know most of the time could not stand my presence." He inched his way closer to the Yama Raja and took a seat on the floor across from her.
"I still can't stand your presence if it makes you feel better." She said trying to hide her face remembering what her brother said about the flower.
"Oh now your shy, see if you were like Eve, you would have your Nasods get rid of me already, or at least try to chase me away. Put up a little fight chibi fox." Add ranted and during the rant Ara felt a slight pang of jealousy at the mention of Eve. She knew Eve was one of her friends, and that Add wanted her for some type of code within her, but ever since Chung became a Tactical Trooper, he found the strength to ask Eve out, they have been dating ever since. But Ara can't figure out, why would Add compare her to Eve? Was it because she had too many emotions at a time? Or the fact that she would get distracted a lot.
Add noticed the change in the Yama Raja's eyes. It was not the beautiful honey his Nasods could ever figure out if they were sincere or not. It was a dark and emotionless color, something that did not match his object of affection. "Hey Ara… you can sit down if you want. Chung and Eve and the others are asleep so you can put away your crown and take a commoners seat." He said while trying to keep a wonton face.
Ara noticed his attempt at trying to get a better reaction out of her and held her stomach. She sat next to the Lunatic Psyker, noticing how his Nasod Dynamos seemed to be always on guard, now they seemed to be surrounding both Add and Ara. She felt safe. She felt wanted. She actually felt like she was loved.
Add enjoyed every second of the goddess he called Ara. Her cherry blossom scent, those long locks of ebony that were so soft, the eyes he cherished. He made the dynamos encircle them both out of sheer territorial habits. Ara was his; no one else can enjoy her like he can. After all she had so many interesting 'codes' he just needed to take.
While Add was thinking to himself, Ara rested her head on his shoulder and looked up at the sky. Even though her mind was quickly going back to thoughts of Ran, she shocked Add and even herself by speaking out loud: "I want to be happy. Without thinking of the past, I want to enjoy being the Yama Raja!" Ara blinked then quickly scooted away from Add and blushed.
"S… Sorry Add! I must've been too loud and I-"She was silenced as the Lunatic Psyker placed his lips on hers then backed away trying to conceal his own blush.
"So this is the flower… that bloomed." Ara thought as she touched her lips and looked at Add who was still blushing trying to look away. "Wait, Add, I thought you liked Eve… you literally stalked her for 3 years." She said still looking at him, her honey eyes seeming to shine with curiosity in the moonlight. The shine that Add loved and when she asked that question he literally face palmed.
"ARGH! Why does everyone keep thinking I like her? Of course I stalked her, but to get my hands on the Nasod codes. After all do you know how long Eve has been around? For some time now, her kind were in many of my old books. And what did you use to see me with? A book, and afterwards I would always try to stalk her to get the lost pieces of the codes from her." Add rolled his eyes and smirked with his trademark smirk. "And plus I prefer girls with more assets than a flat chested robot."
Ara smiled, to Add he has never seen this kind of smile, this one was radiant, like as if she just bloomed into something extravagant. He leaned in close to her face about to sneak another kiss, yet Ara was one step ahead of him and placed her lips on his first. To Ara, Add felt cold like a Nasod, but tasted like plums. She relished as Add snuck his tongue through her lips and they began a fierce dance, where Ara would willingly succumb to the better tongue. As they pulled away for air Ara looked at Add and asked, "Will you be my happiness Add? Will you stop me from reverting back to my old ways?" Add looked at her and had a new smile that Ara had never seen before, it was warm and inviting.
"There's nothing more than I would enjoy by distracting you chibi fox." He said while laughing. Ara laughed too at the happy feeling she was getting.
~Meanwhile~
Around the corner you can see Eve and Elsword peeping.
"Pay me woman. I told you he had a thing for Ara. Its cause she's got certain qualities." Said the Rune Slayer.
"Impossible…" Eve imagined Aras chest and grumbled as she paid the ED to Elsword. "A bet is a bet I suppose. Now I can sleep with Chunny."
Elsword gaped at how she clearly showed human affection towards the Tactical Trooper and soon imagined how kinky their sex life would be. He soon shuddered at both using technology to improve things. He went to his room where Aisha resided at times and smiled as she was asleep on his bed.
~Back to The Pair~
"Hey Ara, I've been meaning to ask but do you have insomnia?" Add questioned his new girlfriend as he lay on her lap.
"Slightly, I normally leave the castle and push myself to the limit and pass out in the field. Normally of course." She said as she gently caressed Adds hair and looked at the moon.
"Yeah well since your my girlfriend now, you can only sleep with me. Got it? No going out and exerting yourself." He said as he took a lock of brunette's hair and kissed it.
Ara looked down to hear his demand and thought at first it was bossy, but then realized that it was Add and this is the cutest thing she will get out of him. "Are you assuming I am your girlfriend now?" she smirked while asking the question.
Add had a look of shock on his face then tried to shake it off. "Y…Yeah! You are r… right?" he asked while being nervous.
Ara smiled and kissed his head. "Yes I am, but in return for me sleeping with you, you have to work for my love. I won't say I love you right off the bat you know." Add smiled at her words.
"Yes my Yama Raja. Now let's go to bed." He said as he got up from her lap and used his Nasods to carry her. She was taken by surprise and yelped a bit but smiled as he treated her like a princess.
