Lea: Yo! I've granted you a gift. I will be posting the first three chapters! Yay!
Teito: Why?
Hyuuga: So we can get more screen time of course! Aya-tan hasn't even met Eve yet.
Lea: How true. I mean, I have to have Eve meet Ayanami at least once! I don't wanna leave the fans hanging.
Teito: But you don't have fans yet.
Lea: GAAH!!! Don't remind me! Hyuuga, the disclaimer. *hands Hyuuga lollipop*
Hyuuga: Of course! *takes lollipop* Lea dose not own 07-ghost or any of the characters. This is just a fanfic written for fun.
Lea: Good. Let's get started!
"Please!" Hyuuga asked.
"I have a meeting at noon." Ayanami replied.
"Just say that you were debriefing your subordinates on their mission. That has always worked in the past." Hyuuga replied. "And you wouldn't be lying."
"I will, if you do the paperwork." Ayanami replied coldly. Hyuuga dropped his pen and looked at Ayanami stunned. Not only had Ayanami agreed to one of his plans, but also, he would get stuck with a lot more paperwork. Then again, Hyuuga knew that the nobles and officers were acting more and more unbearable towards the Black Hawks by the day. Even Ayanami had his limits. "Well?!" Ayanami snapped.
"Deal." Hyuuga replied with a mischievous smile.
Eve got off of the train at 12, and was starving. She had not eaten anything the day before and only had a pastry that morning. She tried to find a place to eat, and found herself lost. She ended up in front of an obnoxiously bright store filled with spheres, packages, and rainbow goodies. She ignored her growing headache and tried to figure out what kind of place it was.
"Aya-tan! We have an hour. Can we stop for sweets?" Hyuuga asked. "Please!"
"Do I really have to answer?" Ayanami asked. Hyuuga smiled and walked towards the candy shop, where he saw Eve staring in the window. "Well, hello there." Hyuuga smiled. Eve jumped and looked back at the window, hoping he would go away if she ignored him. "Oh my! Sorry if I scared you. You just look as if you've never been to a candy shop before."
"A candy shop? That's what this place is? I guess I haven't." Eve replied bluntly.
"YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO A CANDY STORE?!" Hyuuga yelled with dramatic horror.
"Um… no…" Eve replied bluntly. "And the colors are so bright it's giving me a headache. I think I'm going to go over…" She started and looked at Hyuuga. He still held his expression of disbelief.
"But even Aya-tan's been to a candy store… after I forced him…" Hyuuga cut in. He seemed too friendly to Eve, and it crept her out. Even more so, she recognized the military uniform. "Actually, you know, you kinda remind me of someone else I know, but a lot nicer and looser on the shoulders." Hyuuga said with a mischievous smirk. He gave a quick glance back at Ayanami. Eve also turned to see who it was. She noticed the handsome, white haired, amethyst eyed young man, sitting on a bench in the same type of military uniform, waiting for Hyuuga like a babysitter. Ayanami gave Hyuuga a 'What the *(insert preferable word)* are you doing?' glare.
"He doesn't look too happy…" Eve muttered under her breath. Hyuuga ignored her comment.
"Well, you can't get anything by looking through the window. Come inside with me." Hyuuga smiled. He quickly grabbed Eve's arm and courted her inside against her will. "Come on, let me buy you something!" He said, wrapping one arm around her.
"Well, I…" Eve stuttered, looking away and backing up slowly. She turned to look out the window where she saw Ayanami looking at Hyuuga with growing irritation. Hyuuga gave Ayanami a friendly wave and Eve started to realize what this was all about. "So… you're just trying to irritate him?" Eve asked.
"No, no. Nothing of the sort! I merely want to see him slip up." Hyuuga replied. "But seriously, let me get you something. Anything. I like lollipops, but chocolate is also good."
Before Eve answered, she felt a small chill and turned to look out the window once more. She saw a familiar lanky woman with long brown hair and green eyes in her 40s and in familiar attire. It was her governess. "How did she get here so fast?!" Eve stuttered to herself.
"What was that?" Hyuuga asked.
"Yes. You can buy me something. Anything." Eve said desperately, hiding behind Hyuuga, but still peering out the window. Her governess walked over to Ayanami. Hyuuga, who was linked to Ayanami's mind, listened in on their conversation.
"Excuse me officer. I am looking for my pupil. Have you seen her?" Eve's governess asked. Eve didn't know what they were talking about, but felt a small panic. Hyuuga wafted Eve behind an isle of sweets and continued to listen.
"And?" Ayanami asked.
"And what? Have you seen her or not?!" Eve's governess demanded.
"First, I do not know who you, or your pupil are. Second, I'm a military officer, not a police officer. Third, if you're going to ask favors, you should a least give a proper identification and show at least a small sense of civility." Ayanami replied calmly. The governess had a look of overwhelming horror on her face. Hyuuga chuckled. "Hyuuga, that girl is this woman's student, isn't she?" Ayanami thought to Hyuuga through the link.
"Let me get a picture." Eve's governess said, stumbling through her things.
"What are they saying?" Eve asked.
"Aya-tan want's to know if that's your teacher." Hyuuga replied.
"Unfortunatly." Eve replied bluntly.
"Ok, it is." Hyuuga replied.
"Wa-wait! Please don't! I would rather kill myself then go back."
"Huh?" Hyuuga asked. "Oh, I see. You must be one bad little girl to separated on purpose like that."
"You don't get it! I spent the past 6 years working and preparing to get away from that place. I even waited until I was 18 to make the documents legal. I didn't get separated, I ran away. Please don't make me go back there! I'll… I'll do anything! Just please…"
Ayanami, who was listening in on Hyuuga and Eve's conversation, believed it normal, irritating, female melodrama. Hyuuga's smile dropped slightly as he looked at Eve. "Look kid, do you know how much trouble we could get in if we lie?" Hyuuga asked. "If you're anyone important, we could risk getting Court Marshaled, and I know a lot of people who are willing to go that far to take us down. I'm sure whatever you endured couldn't have been that bad."
"But… but they lock me up and beat me nearly every day and my parents don't even care about me and…" Eve tried to explain but Ayanami, listening in from the other end, wasn't impressed. "they call me a witch!" Eve finished. Hyuuga was suddenly taken aback and Ayanami suddenly gained slight interest.
"What was that?" Hyuuga asked.
"They call me a witch. That's what they say anyway, but I really don't know what a witch is." Eve replied.
"Oh? And why is that?" He asked, growing amused.
"Well… I can't really control it, but…" She muttered. She started to form a red zaiphon. It suddenly condensed into a white sphere, similar to the warsfiel magic, except not.
"Aya-tan, you getting this? This girl…" Hyuuga started, intrigued. Ayanami gave a small nod from far over on his bench. Eve made the orb disappear and looked away.
"I really hate being locked up. I… I don't really know anything about the world. I am told the opinions of others for so long, but I have never known how things are for myself. I don't even know what a witch is and even if I was one, I don't think I've done anything to be punished for. This ignorance is driving me towards insanity!" Eve started, pulling her hair at the mere thought.
"Actually, everyone can use zaiphon, but that's quite an ability you got there." Hyuuga smiled.
"Huh?" Eve asked. "Zaiphon?"
"Yes. Every living human has the potential to use zaiphon, but there are few that have actually learned how to. As for a witch, it just means you have powers that scare them. They probably mistook your ability for warsfiel. It looks similar, but warsfiel is black and is generated from the evil death deity."
"Evil death deity? What are you talking about? There is no such thing… is there?"
"Oh boy, you really are clueless. Maybe I'll ask Aya-tan to show you later." Hyuuga smiled. "Let me buy you some candy, and we'll handle this."
"Uh… ok?" Eve replied.
Eve's governess finally pulled out a picture and handed it to Ayanami. "Here. This is her, and those are her parents."
"Hmm… blue hair is rather rare… I think I saw a girl like that while I came in, but I can not be quite sure. She was headed towards the 7th district train." Ayanami replied, analytically.
"Thank you… I'm going to make that little witch pay." Eve's governess replied, snatching the picture, and rushing off to get tickets.
"That was… and the picture… how interesting." Ayanami smiled wickedly.
Hyuuga bought a variety of sweets, and walked out with Eve. Eve felt a little awkward when she had walked up to Ayanami. Ayanami had a fixed deathglare on Hyuuga.
"You spent over an hour in the candy store." Ayanami snapped.
"Ahh…" Hyuuga muttered, scratching the back of his head.
"Well?" Ayanami asked.
"I'm sorry…" Eve replied with a bow. "It was my fault."
"It's not your fault. He dose this all the time." Ayanami replied icily.
"Oh…" Eve replied, loosing sympathy for Hyuuga.
"Well, I'm sure they'll find us here." Hyuuga replied. "But seriously Aya-tan, you're too serious. We're here to slack off… I hear stress turns hair white." Hyuuga said in his taunting tone.
"My hair has always been white." Ayanami replied, showing no emotion.
"But only serious old men, like Miroku, have white hair, Aya-tan." Hyuuga replied.
"I actually like it." Eve smiled.
"Huh?" Hyuuga asked.
"It's pretty… just like snow." Eve smiled. Ayanami suddenly turned towards Eve and looked at her intensely. "Um…" Eve muttered, feeling a little awkward. "You're starting to scare me a little bit." She muttered. Hyuuga read what exactly was running through Ayanami's mind and gave a small smirk. Eve finally grew irritated and peered at Ayanami with her death glare. The two were in a staring deadlock.
"Oh my gawd! It's a female Aya-tan!" Hyuuga started. Hyuuga instantly found himself pressed against the floor of the train station by Ayanami's boot. "That's not nice Aya-tan!" Hyuuga whined. Konatsu and Kuroyuri walked up to Ayanami, but did not bother asking what happened.
"Ayanami-sama is here!" Kuroyuri smiled, grinning up at Ayanami.
"Oh, it's you." Konatsu said, noticing Eve. He then turned towards Ayanami. He was surprised to see Ayanami out in public. "Sir, the mission was a success." Konatsu explained with a salute.
"Dose Ayanami know the weird pastry girl?" Kuroyuri asked, pointing at Eve.
"We just met!" Hyuuga smiled from under Ayanami's foot.
"All of us are returning to base immediately." Ayanami cut in, and started off towards the exit. Konatsu and Kuroyuri started to follow when suddenly, Hyuuga got up and stepped in front of Ayanami, walking backwards. "Aya-tan, do we have to leave now? It's passed lunch time, how about we grab a bite to eat." Hyuuga suggested. Ayanami ignored Hyuuga and continued to walk. Eve had already started to walk away from the group in search of a place to eat. "Come on! We're already here. We can even ask the girl. Please?" Hyuuga urged.
"Ayanami-sama, they didn't feed us as much as I thought. I'm kinda hungry." Kuroyuri said, looking at Ayanami with his/her bright pink eyes.
Ayanami suddenly turned towards Hyuuga and glared at him intently, before uttering one of the world's evilest phrases. "You're paying."
