Aura's POV
I shifted my gaze away from Kid. It's been two years in my world, and I don't even know how long has it been for Kid and the others.
"Don't go over here!" I commanded the reaper, as I hugged myself. Scared of Death the Kid's reaction.
"I don't want to hurt you or anyone else anymore! I've already hurt so many people...and now I can't bring myself..." The hiccups caused me to choke my words.
Its painful.
It hurts.
Soon arms take hold of my fragile body, cradling me as my back hit their chest. Frightened I began to trash my arms. Hitting whatever...whoever was holding me.
"Please...just leave me be!" My face covered by my bangs. The tears in my eyes blurred my vision.
"No."
Kid.
Why?
Just leave me please.
I've already caused enough trouble.
I wanted to say: Leave me alone!
But my words were stopped. In a matter of a what seemed seconds, Kid forcefully turns me around, pushed my chin closer towards his face by the thumb of his hand.
My vision goes into shock as Kid's lips brushed over mines.
My own mind blanked out on me.
I can't speak.
...
...
I wanted to punch him.
...
...
I wanted to call him a symmetrical OCD jerk.
...
...
I wanted to bitch slap him.
...
...
I wanted to yell at him.
...
...
Scream at him.
...
...
Hate him.
...
...
But I can't.
...
...
I already I know the answer.
I love this bastard of a gentlemen.
Why can't I hate him like I did from the beginning?
My arms fall to my sides as Kid stopped the kiss.
The beating of my heart paced rapidly as I watched Kid's eyes open to stare back at my face. Warmth filled as my face began to redden.
"What...? You?" Fuck. I'm stammering again.
A smile plastered on his face shone upon my reaction.
I covered my eyes with my right arm as Kid supported me by hugging me, "Fuck you."
"I love you too."
DTK's POV
I was right.
The person standing beside Mathias was none other than Aura.
Her once clear blue became sharpened once Aura spotted my presence.
She turned away. Trying to reach out, Aura's wavered voice yelled, "Don't go over here!"
I watched quietly as Aura resumed to hold herself. It was as if she was protecting the last remains of her pride.
"I don't want to hurt you or anyone else anymore! I've already hurt so many people...and now I can't bring myself..." The hiccups caused Aura to choke on her words.
My teeth gritted.
How much time has passed for you?
It was only two months since I last saw you.
But the look in your eyes made it seem you saw a ghost of the past.
Is that what I am to you now?
A mere ghost?
I'm standing right here. In front of you. In the flesh.
What in the world happened to you?
You were still strong, yet full of vigor. Wanting to cheer up the students of DWMA and Mathias.
Your guilt should've left by now.
However the person standing before me now, was on the verge of becoming a fragile doll. Afraid. Afraid of being broken by the people who cared for her the most. Afraid of being the one to break the people she cares the most.
...
...
...
But there's still hope.
I reached out to Aura, enveloping the fragile being into my arms as I pulled her closer to my chest.
She trashed.
Her hands swatting my face in every direction.
I didn't care about becoming asymmetrical now.
I don't give damn about my OCD, until she accepts reality.
That I'm here right in front of her!
Angered, I forcefully turned Aura around. Her face streaked by countless of tears streaming down Aura's surprised face.
Forcing her face closer to mines.
I take hold of her lips by placing mines over her's.
I don't care anymore.
As long as she's alive, that's all I hoped for.
For Aura to be safe.
I'm not regretting this. I've already regretted leaving her and Mathias that night.
I'm not letting her go.
I won't leave you, Aura.
After separating from the kiss, Aura's face went from pale to red. Probably more red than Mathias' hair.
I smiled fondly upon Aura's reaction. It was cute. Symmetrically cute.
"What...? You?" Flustered, Aura immediately covers her blue-eyes by her arm.
"Fuck you."
Laughing silently I replied in understanding as I supported her body close, "I love you too."
Although one thing crossed my mind.
This sensation of the insanity wavelength halted once I stare back at Aura's eyes.
What's this?
I pondered as I think back to father's explanation.
Is it possible for Aura to bear immunity to insanity and madness like father? She did inherit a part of Asura. But how was she able to withstand Asura's madness of terror when she first met him?
"Aura, I wanted to ask you something." I began as Aura nodded in response once she'd taken Mathias into her arms.
"How were you able to meet Asura at first?"
Silence.
Silence was left between us.
Until a sigh was made, "After retrieving the lost memories from Shade's and the Afreet's awakening. I remembered a time. It was the time when my dad died."
I stiffened, however I was in utter shock to Aura's calm responsiveness.
"Ten years ago...I made a prayer alone to myself. I wanted my father back. I wanted the words of my mother to vanish. After falling asleep, I found myself in an empty void. Crying, I wondered if the void was a place of punishment for not crying at my dad's funeral. That was until I met him. Asura."
"I have a feeling that Asura was a great significance to me at that time. In a sense it was as if having another friend that no one else had. Only I knew of him." Aura placed hand against the area of her heart.
It pained me to say this...but is it possible that Aura liked Asura?
"Did you like him back then? More than just a friend?"
I wanted to know.
Did she have feelings for Asura before he became an afreet?
Was it possible? I mean she didn't really say the words I expected her to say earlier, but it was Aura's equivalent of it.
She gave me an incredulous look, "Kid. I was only six. That would make Asura a pedophile if I did liked him."
"Alright." I felt the weight against my head lift.
"What are you possibly jealous of Asura, Kid?" Aura began to smile more. I couldn't help, but hold her closer to me.
"H-Hey! Kid! Let go!" She cried after squirming inside my arm hold.
"No. I'm not letting go."
Aura jolted, "But just because you kissed me doesn't give you the right! What happened to symmetry?!"
"I don't give damn!" Even I surprised myself at this moment. To think that I would care about someone more than symmetry? More than father.
"You being alive means more than enough."
Aura's POV
"You being alive means more than enough."
Kid's tone held a hint of sadness in it. How long was I gone here?
"Kid, how long have I been gone in DWMA?"
Kid responded, "For two months. Only two months. It's barely even passed the year you've stayed."
Two...months? Two years in my world equals to two months?!
I laughed in remorse,"Two months seems nothing to you, Kid, but two years can do something to a person like me."
Kid's hold on me tightened. I placed a hand on one of his arms around me.
"One things for sure...I got to see you again." Happiness? I guess that's the term describing me now. Kid gave me the happiness I wanted.
Unfortunately this warm moment was stopped once Noah's and his supposed lackeys discussed of plans of eliminating Maka.
"Those damn bastards..." I think Gopher's voice was also among them. Oh...when I get my hands on that warlock!
"What are we going to do Kid?" I asked the reaper beside me, wearing a similar angered expression as I am.
"We're going to have to trust the others for now." He tried to respond calmly, "I don't know exactly...but we need to be cautious around Noah."
"I see." Matt began to stir in my arms.
"Big Sis...?" Matt's eyes widened upon seeing Kid. Jerking up, he exclaimed, "Big Bro Kid!"
"It's good to see you again, Mathias." Kid ruffled Mathias' hair only to straighten Mathias' messy mop of hair.
"You should keep your hair symmetrical !"
Matt pouted slapping Kid's hands away from his head, "I like my hair this way, thank you!"
"No! It has to be symmetrical!"
I giggled at the sight of their consistent fussing.
The lingering sense of nostalgia crept in our conversation.
Even though we're held captive, at least there's something keeping us strong.
