Hello again my dearies! Gah it's taken me so long! I really am sorry for the delay! The next update might not be for a while because next weekend I am leaving for Europe and have no idea when I can write again. In the mean time, Enjoy!
The six exorcists with the newly added addition began trekking through a rough trail on the small southern island. Tsukiko led the way though she seemed to be having an argument with herself.
"I know! ...Yes, I get it! … Will you shut up?" Tsukiko yelled at herself as they travelled deeper and deeper into the growth.
"Um… Are you okay?" Miranda asked timidly, still terrified of the hooded girl from the encounter they had had before.
"Yeah, Nell won't shut up about a certain person showing up here. The Earl no doubt knows we're here, it's only a matter of time before he sends those two pests." She said, clucking her tongue.
"It's rude to call people pests." Said a voice from the shadows in front of the group.
The exorcists all went on alert as they peered into the shadows before them. Suddenly, a small figure flew through the group right at Allen.
"Allen!" squealed the figure in joy.
"Rhode?" asked Allen, bewildered at the Noah who clung to him.
"And it's rude to sneak up on people, Tykki." Tsukiko said, spitting out Tykki's name as if it was an undesirable taste.
The tall man, clad in a full suit, waltzed out of the shadows with a smirk on his face. He sauntered over to Tsukiko and pulled her forward with a finger looped in her choker she wore.
"So good to see you, Zana." He whispered in a low voice, his breath tickling her ear.
"I'm not Zana anymore. She died a long time ago." Tsukiko spat in his face.
Tykki pulled back to wipe the spittle off his face and smirked at the girl.
"You failed the Earl, but he is still willing to accept you back. Don't you want to become a Noah again?" Tykki whispered seductively. "I miss being with you."
Tykki caressed Tsukiko's face with a gloved hand softly. The six exorcists watched with confusion at the exchange.
"Well I don't miss you one bit." Tsukiko hissed, slapping Tykki's hand away.
"Uhm… Excuse my interruption, but who in the hell are you?" Lavi asked Tsukiko with a perplexed look.
"I am just who I explained I was before. For a short while I was a minion of the Earl, but that was before I joined the order and before I was in Nell. I used to be called Zana, but she no longer exists." Tsukiko said with a sigh.
"Are you sure she doesn't exist anymore?" Tykki asked while slipping off her choker.
Underneath the choker, the skin of Tsukiko's neck was marked with crosses like the ones that Tykki and Rhode brandished on their foreheads. The exorcists let out a collective gasp as they saw the markings. Tsukiko's hand flew up to her neck to cover the crosses. This one journey had turned into a lot more.
