Chapter 12
Aya had been very helpful with the organizing of documents, calculating, pondering the effectiveness of varying meisters and souls for new missions and setting up a cash budget. Kid loved to see her focused face, but was on the verge of losing it due to Spirits numerous flirtation attempts towards her.
Later at home:
"How do you like the job?" Kid asked during dinner.
"Well it's true that you need help and it falls within my area of expertise, …so I like it." Aya wiped her mouth and smiled.
"Then it's settled. And you can stay here at Gallows Mansion. We've some spare rooms."
"That would be helpful, thank you."
"As a matter of fact I've already sent for the rest of your belongings and prepared the room next to mine."
"Huh, not much of a choice I have…" Aya whispered to herself.
"Was that out of place?" the reaper watched her anxiously.
'I should have asked her, why didn't I ask her? How could I? I'm stupid, official stupid!'
" Don't worry, it's ok. It's just that everything is changing so fast and I've feel like I've lost control over my own decision-making."
"My deepest apologies, I've overstepped my boundaries." Kid still trembled.
"May I?" Aya scooted closer and hold her hand above his shoulder. As Kid nodded Aya began to pet him.
"I know you meant well." It was nice being touched by her but it raised the question in him, who or what he was for Aya.
Only a friend, someone she wants to take care of, a pet or a beast that must be pleased in order to survive? Neither was to his liking. He grabbed her hand and gazed into her eyes.
Both of them blushed as Patty entered the dining room.
"Hey you birdbrains, maybe you should try soul resonance. There seem to be some huge misunderstandings between you two!"
'Nice Patty!' Kid thought.
"Isn't that something only meister and weapon can do?" Aya asked curious.
" Naaaa anyone can synchronize their soul's wavelength. But somebody needs to do the synchronizing. Lucky for you Kid is Kid and I believe he can synchronize with anyone."
" Don't exaggerate - but I think it's possible." the reaper stated.
"Why don't you go to Aya's new room and try it out!" Patty winked and shoved them out of the dining room.
They faced each other sitting on Aya's bed. Kid reached out both of his hands. "Physical contact may help." the reaper blushed and Aya grabbed his hands without second thought.
"I'll guide you through the process." Aya nodded shortly.
"Close your eyes and try to stop thinking, just feel and do as I say… Try to feel your core, concentrate on that feeling. Good and now try to call out to me, but without any words."
Aya clenched Kid's hands a little harder and then there it was, two souls in perfect harmony. Kid saw Aya on the inside; she seemed a little lost but started smiling as he came closer.
Everything felt warm and nice, like a warm summer day with a light breeze. She looked at him stunned. This time it was him, who pulled her in a hug. She tightened the embrace and couldn't take her eyes of him. Kid brought his hands to Aya's face, leaned towards her and kissed her. His own soul expanded further and further, he felt unbeatable, immense streams of power built up.
As he opened his eyes, he saw that he hasn't only kissed her soul but also her real body. His face was red like a tomato as he slowly backed away.
Aya opened her eyes too. " That's not what normally happens during a soul resonance, or is it?" her face was also quite red.
"No it isn't." Kid said as calm as possible for him and stormed out of her room.
