YAY! Okay so that one was kinda short, so I'm gonna make up for that with this one….and yes I'm aware it's been forever since I've updated and I know I said I would update sooner… *hides behind Kanda* sorry…
Chapter 6
Melody slowly opened her eyes and looked out the nearest window. 'Great where they hell is this?' She sat up and rubbed her eyes. That's when she freaked out. For the first time she looked down at her cloths and noticed the dress she was wearing…well more like half a dress. It was a white little nightgown. She also noticed she was in a big King sized bed with a canopy above it.
"The princess finally wakes up." A bored Tyki said.
Melody turned to her right and glared. "Who the hell are you?" She demanded, venom in her voice.
"Tsk, tsk. That's quite the mouth you have there. I am Tyki Miki, madame, and you are Melody Walker." He smiled as he looked at her startled expression.
"How do you know who I am?" She asked looking curiously at the strange man known as Tyki Miki.
"Because I am a Noah. Very soon all you exorcists will know who we are. In fact, I believe Road is meeting your brother just about now." He smiled a cruel sadistic smile.
Alarm shot through Melody "What are you doing to my brother?" She asked in a shaky voice.
"I'm sure Road's just playing with him." The word play sounded more like torture. "Why are you worried? Shouldn't you be more worried about yourself little Exorcist?" Tyki took a step towards her.
Melody pushed herself back towards the headboard. Her back hit the smooth, expensively decorated wood and she was shaking with fear.
"Relax, I won't do anything to you. In fact I'm being so nice as to bring you to America myself." Tyki sat on the edge of the bed with that same bored expression he had on earlier. "Mind if I smoke?" He took a cigar from his pocket.
"No, not really. Why are you talking me to America? Wouldn't it be easier to just leave me here?" Melody stopped shaking and just leaned against the headboard looking at the grey skinned man.
"Yes, but in the long run that would…complicate things." He made it clear with his tone that, that was the end on the discussion. "I left a note with your friends telling them I was taking you to America, don't know if they believe it though."
The boys did take what Tyki said to be true and they, begrudgingly, left for America. After Nate finally convinced them they had to depart, even though they lost someone.
"So are you hungry?" Tyki absent mindedly asked.
"A little, now that I think about it and could I get some new cloths?" Melody was pulling at the bottom of her dress.
Tyki smirked and ran his eyes over her, like a tiger waiting to pounce. "Sure." He shrugged at last.
Tyki stood up and offered his hand to Melody, who hesitantly took it and he pulled her up. After being in bed for who knows how long she was a bit unsteady on her feet. She tripped and was about to fall fast first when Tyki's arm shot out and grabbed her around her waist and pulled her to his body.
"Do you like me that much?" Tyki teased.
Mel blushed a little, but rolled her eyes. "Keep dreaming."
"I will." He winked.
They walked outside the room and took a left. 7 doors down they stopped.
"Inside is a Roads closet. Heaven knows why girls need so many cloths." Tyki sighed. It was more like a room then a closet though.
Melody let go of his hand and pushed open the doors. Inside was every kind on skirt, shirt, dress and pants (back in those days) you could possibly imagine! Tyki closed the doors behind her for privacy. "I suggest a dress, it would be more fitting."
After browsing around for awhile she stopped in front of what was possibly the most beautiful dress she'd ever seen. It was an aqua colored dress with a neckline that wasn't too low cut for her. It was right on the border line of ball gown and normal aristocrat dress. Below it were different shoes to choose from. All the same aqua like color. Melody looked from the heels, on one side, to the flats, on the other and picked something in between the two. Something with a heel, but not too high, since she never could walk in the freaking things.
She slipped it on and to her surprise it fit perfectly. She twirled around and it flew up around her. When she emerged from the room of wonders she saw Tyki staring at her with the look of an animal again. He had changed into a suite and she had to admit, it suited him very well. He held out his arm for her and she took it.
"We almost look the part of royalty." He joked as he lead them down to the dining room.
"If we were I'd be running through the halls looking for a way to escape." Melody smiled as she imagined it.
"Ah, the classic Princess, wanting to be anywhere but inside the castle walls. Yes, I think that role suites you quite well." Tyki nodded in agreement.
"So what's for lunch?" Melody asked.
"What do you feel like eating?" Tyki never thought about what they were going to eat, he just figured she'd…well eat…?
"What do you recommend?" She asked.
"Nothing here. Can you wait until we get to the airport?"
"Sure. I'm not that hungry. Are you sure it's okay I have this dress?" She played with the fabric, which she suspected to be silk, and watched the blues change in the light.
"It's too big for Road anyway. I don't know why she bought it. Plus you'll want it, we're flying on an aristocrat plane. Wouldn't want to look underdressed now would we?" He had a playful smile on his face.
"No we wouldn't." She agreed.
They exited the mansion, as Melody soon found out, and he held the door open for her at the car.
"Such a gentleman." She teased.
"What am I if not a man?" He closed her door and got in the driver's seat.
"A kidnapper? A person in league with akuma? Possibly a killer or evil master mind?" Melody asked as things came to mind.
"Where do you get these ideas?" He wondered as he started the car and drove out of the drive way and into the street.
"My head."
"Ah that would explained it then." He smirked as they drove along the road.
"Are you implying something?"
"About you? Never."
"Riiiiight." She looked out the window and watched the passing trees.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"So when dosh ta plane weave?" Melody asked, her mouth full of food.
"If people are to believe you're an aristocrat then you need to act like one. Any way it's about time we leave for the plane." Tyki mused at her unlady like behavior.
"Okay." Melody finished her sandwich and followed Tyki to the proper gate. There she saw other finely dressed people waiting in line.
"Ah Tyki, it's good to see you." A foreign man said walking over to Tyki and Melody.
The man was tall and had blond hair with bright blue eyes. He looked French, but that was only a guess.
"Good to see you to Alfred. What brings you here?" Tyki asked the man.
"I was here on business, meeting my sisters family." The man explained. "Who is this charming young lady with you? A bit young for you isn't she." Alfred said looking at Melody.
"This is Melody, she's my fiancé. She's older then she looks so don't be alarmed." Tyki wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her to him. "Go along with it, or I might decide to kill you." Tyki whispered in her ear.
Melody smiled at Alfred and pretended to kiss Tyki on the cheek. "Try anything and you'll be sorry." Melody hissed.
"Well it's very nice to meet you Melody." He took her hand and kissed.
'I swear I'll kill him.' Melody smiled sweetly. "Same to you."
"So why are you going to America?"
"We're going to meet her family and hopefully receive their blessings." Tyki said.
"What if it doesn't work?" Alfred thought of what might happen.
"Then we'll elope of course." Tyki smirked. He was having so much fun.
"Of course." Melody mumbled under her breath.
Tyki heard though "What was that love?"
"I said that would be the obvious choice." She quickly recovered.
"Ah to be in love is the best. I wish you both luck." Alfred grabbed his luggage and boarded the plane.
"Indeed." Melody snorted. "I hate you." She pulled herself away from Tyki.
"No you don't. You love me, after all we're getting married." Tyki smiled.
"Whatever." Melody picked up her suitcase and walked towards the plane to board.
Since all of her actual things were with Kanda, Damien, Seth and Nate her suitcase was filled with clothes and accessories from Roads closet. Tyki said she wouldn't mind.
Tyki sighed and picked up his suitcase and followed his 'beloved' onto the plane.
Melody waited impatiently for him to board and put her suitcase away in their compartment. When Tyki had stowed his luggage away he left to meet other people he knew. Oh who she wished she had her violin, with everything being different she desperately wanted something normal. Her violin was something precious to her. Mana had bought it for her. She smiled at the memory.
One day he had seen her looking at one in a shop window. Today Allen and her had the day off. Mana was taking a walk when he noticed her. The owner of the shop had seen her staring at the violin and smiled at her. He walked outside the shop and asked her if she'd like to try playing it.
"Could I?" Melody asked, her eyes shining.
"Well I don't see why not, it's the least I can do. My kids saw your act at the show yesterday. They couldn't stop talking about it." The man smiled and walked back inside. He remerged a few seconds later carrying the violin. "Have you ever played one before?"
Melody nodded her head no.
He gave her the violin and showed her how to hold it. "I'm afraid I only have the adult size one. See if you can hold it though." He showed her how to play and she clapped with joy when he played her a song.
"Now you try." The first time she held the violin it was too big for her so the man held it up for her while she held the correct stance. She pulled the string and a single sour note came out. "Don't worry, everyone starts out like that." He tried to cheer her up.
Mana smiled watching her like that. Melody was always doing what she was told, she knew they were short on money so she never showed interest in anything, so this was a big step for her. Later that day Mana bought the violin for her and he gave it to her. The ways her eyes sparkled made him feel happy he had got it for her. "You'll be a great violinist someday"…
"But you never got see it…" Melody said still in a trance like state.
Closing her eyes she stood in the correct posture when playing a violin and brought her arms up as if she was holding one. Still lost in her trance she began moving her hands, in her mind she was playing 'Tristesse' by Chopin. She smiled as she was playing, but was brought out of her dream when a hand tugged on the waist area of her dress. Startled she jumped slightly and frowned.
"Did I interrupt something?" A blond haired boy asked.
"Ummm, no I was just daydreaming, that's all." Melody looked at the little boy, he couldn't be older than 7. "How old are you?"
"My name's Liam and I'm 6" The little boy held up 6 finger to exaggerate his point.
"I see, well I'm Melody and I'm 15. It's very nice to meet you." She chuckled.
He smiled at her and his stomach rumbled.
"Are you hungry?" She asked laughing.
"Yes." He said simply.
"Well let's go get you some food then."
"My father says I can't go anywhere without someone watching over me." He explained, frowning. The food was so close.
"Well I'll watch over you, so let's go." She held out her hand for the boy to take.
Liam cheered and jumped into her arms and she carried him outside the compartment. After exiting the compartment the first person she caught sight of was Tyki. He looked from her to the child in her arms back to her. A quizzical look found it's way to his face. He finished his pleasantries with the man he was currently talking to and sauntered over to Melody.
"Who might this charming boy be?" Tyki asked staring at the blue eyed, blonde haired boy intently.
"I'm Liam, I'm 6 and very hungry." The boy thoroughly explained. "Who're you?" Liam grabbed at Melody.
"Well, I'm Tyki and that's my fiancé that's holding you. No need to be afraid, I'm a very nice man." Tyki assured him. "Are you going to get him something to eat love?" He turned his attention to Melody.
She twitched when he said love, but she ignored it. "Yes, do you know where it is?"
"I do know where it is. In fact I think I'll accompany you." He smirked at her obvious displeasure.
"Joy." She muttered.
Tyki ignored the last comment and lead her to the back of the plane where a buffet of an array of foods was.
"I want cake." Liam said simply, eyes shining as he looked over at the dessert table.
"No, you need to eat something else first, otherwise you won't grow up to be big and strong. How about some waffles?" Melody tried to pursued the boy into some healthier food.
"Fine." He pouted. "But I want chocolate on them." Liam's pout was absolutely adorable, Melody decided.
While setting him down next to Tyki she laughed and grabbed a plate putting 2 waffles on it and pouring the chocolate syrup on it. She handed the plate to Liam, who smiled and ran away to a table at the far side of the room. He plopped into a chair and began devouring the waffles. She smiled warmly at the boy and walked over to the dessert table.
"You're not just getting dessert after telling him he had to eat something else are you?" Tyki chuckled.
"This is for when he finishes the waffles." She cut a piece of chocolate cake out and placed it on a plate. Then she walked over the Liam and slid the tray in front of him.
"Thank you!" He beamed and ate his cake happily.
After finishing his cake he smiled at Melody. "You're really nice, I want to marry you when you grow up." He decided, blue eyes flashing with determination.
She laughed. "Liam do you know what marriage is?"
"When 2 people spend the rest of their life together." Liam stated proudly.
"Well I'm sorry you can't have her." Tyki insisted.
"Why?" He asked.
"Because she's going to marry me." He stated simply.
"Liam, there you are!" A man exclaimed.
As he got closer Melody noticed it was Alfred. Looking quite frantic a second ago she was surprised to see he was now looking relieved.
"Daddy!" Liam shouted at rushed into his father's open arms.
"Were have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you! Your mother was having a fit." He hugged his son and picked him up.
"I've been playing with my friends." He said looking up at Melody.
"Well if it isn't Melody and Tyki, I hope my son wasn't too much trouble." He laughed.
"Not at all, in fact he's quite charming. You should watch out, he'll be quite the lady killer when he gets older." She laughed.
"I can only imagine. Shall we go back, your mother is worried sick about you." Alfred asked his son, looking down at him.
"But…" Liam looked at Melody and Tyki hesitantly.
"Go, your mother's waiting. I can only imagine what shes going through." Melody smiled at him. It was a soft sincere smile, Tyki noted, full of another meaning, whatever it was he had no clue.
"Okay! Thank you Melody and bye bye!" He waved as his father carried him off.
"You've never smiled like that before." Tyki said as they walked back to their compartment.
"Like what?" Melody asked looking at him confused.
"From your heart." He simply said and smirked as she blushed.
"Shut up." She walked into the compartment first.
All she had to do was live through 7 more hours of this Noah…yeah right. She was definitely sleeping the flight away.
Yeah i know i screwed up the time frame, but that's ok because it's a story...plus i didn't want to make them take a boat. I'm also aware that buffets are NOT on planes. I hope i got Tyki right and the next she will meet back up with the team and continue the mission. Hurray!
