He was walking down the street at a steady pace. He wanted to make sure he made an entrance. Then, all of a sudden, he heard an explosion behind him. Wide-eyed he turned around, meeting a knock to the ground. His head banged against the concrete sidewalk, as he faded out of consciousness. When he awoke he was lying on a bed with a clothe on his head. He looked around. Across the room sitting in the chair was a woman. When he looked at her he felt an unexpected, pleasing, warmth. He found himself unable to stop staring at her. Her hair drooped across her face, down to her shoulders. Her face looked hopeless and guilty. He felt a compassion towards her. He laid there fantasizing about her. Not even knowing her name. He didn't care. It was as if he was in a trance. A trance she controlled without even realizing. She twitched a little in her sleep. He sat up. His hand flew to his head. He was burning on the inside. He groaned in his pain. The door flew open. The woman looked up. "Allen!?" She sounded surprised. The boy- Allen - walked over to her.
"You know better than to of brought him here, Miranda."
"I-I'm sorry." She looked back down. "He wasn't moving, and I…I panicked."
"So you brought him to the order. Tyki Mikk is a Noah. Our enemy Miranda."
"I know. He just…he looked so…"
"Human?"
Miranda looked to her left. Allen placed his hands on the arms of her chair and leaned towards her.
"No matter how human he looks, he is still a Noah."
Allen stormed out the room leaving Tyki and Miranda alone. Tears came to Miranda's eyes. Tyki got out of the bed and stood up. Miranda jumped up.
"D-don't move….I-I'll…..don't make me hurt you."
Tyki sat back down on the bed. Miranda's eyes widened. She had expected him to laugh and phase through the wall. Instead he listened to her.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Well….I didn't expect you to listen to me."
"Well, why wouldn't I listen to a beautiful creature such as yourself?"
Miranda blushed. Tyki smiled. The door burst open again. Miranda's eyes shot to the door. Tyki's followed.
"MIRANDA!"
"Y-yes Chief Komui?"
Komui looked towards Tyki. He glared. Tyki frowned.
"Miranda. A word with you."
"I….yes Chief Komui."
Komui walked into the hall, and Miranda followed. Tyki could, barely, hear their conversation. He got up and pressed his ear to the door. This way he could hear what they were saying.
"I-I truly am sorry Sir. He wasn't moving, and I panicked, and…and...I have no excuse sir."
There was a moment of silence. Tyki could hear Miranda crying. He wanted to be at her side to comfort her. He wanted to walk through this wall and hold her in his arms. There was also a strange sensation he felt to take her throat in his hands. To feel her lose her breathe in his touch. His eyes widened. He didn't want to think that way anymore. He sat on the bed again and held his head. The door opened and Komui walked in.
"Where's Miranda?"
"Why should you care? Noah."
"Hmm? I thought my name was Tyki." He smiled.
Komui glared. "Enough jokes Tyki. I have some questions and I want them answered."
Just then a young woman around 16 walked in. "Brother. I need to speak with you."
She didn't seem to care he was talking to someone. Komui stared at her.
"Lenalee? What are you doing I….."
"I need to speak with you, Komui."
"Yes. Tell Miranda she can come back in now."
Lenalee knodded her head. She walked out, and Komui followed. Tyki sat there, bewildered. He tried laying down again. Miranda walked in. Tyki jolted up. Miranda looked over at him.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I was….worried, about you."
Miranda looked at him with a confused face. Tyki remembered how he wasn't her ally. The others mentioned how he was her enemy. He blinked. Miranda walked over to her chair and sat down. She kept her head down and slowly fell to sleep. Tyki stared at her with a sorrowful face. He didn't want to be her enemy…but at the same time, he did.
