Chapter 7- Permission to write

It was a week since the incident in Nosambria and Raven noticed Oz's nightmares seemed to increase to the point where he would go to wake Oz up in the morning and find him missing, only to find him sleeping in the same bed as Alice, much to his displeasure. He even scolded Oz for doing something like that but Alice interjected and called him a 'stupid seaweed head that didn't know anything about Oz'. That ticked him off even more. It got to the point he had to leave the room without waking them up or he was going to put a bullet into Alice's head. Even now he sat in a chair at the tea table watching Oz act like he wasn't plagued with nightmares. It enraged him but he could do anything about it because Oz didn't know they were child hood friends, it tore Raven apart just thinking about it.

"Oz! Why are we just sitting here? When are we going to go look for the memories? It's important that we find them!" Alice shouts across the table distracting Raven from his angered thoughts to focus his anger on the girl.

"You can't just run around the town destroying things, stupid." Emily cackles out causing Break to snicker and she growls at him.

"He's right Alice... besides we don't know where to loo... Hey!" Oz says before jumping up out of his seat startling them slightly. "Why don't we go to that Mansion? It's where I found the watch; maybe it has more memories there!" He says excitedly as Alice smiles at him and nods.

"You can't, you have to stay put until I finish the report on the chain you guys saw in Nosambria." Break says causing the two to pout at his words before Oz plop back down into his seat.

"That's not fair you stupid clown!" Alice shouts glaring at Break before looking at Oz. Oz tensed up slightly before shaking his head causing her to get angrier. "Damn it! I'm going into the garden!" She shouts storming out to the balcony.

"My Alice-san seems to be so annoyed lately..." Break mutters looking over to the balcony to see Alice jumping off it to enter the garden.

"She's just upset that we didn't find any of her memories." Oz says calmly picking up his cup of tea, sensing Breaks eyes on his questioningly. 'Or it's the fact that we said 'no' to her.' He thought with a small smile forming on his lips. "Not that it really bothers me. There was only a small chance of finding one of Alice's memories anyway." He says with a small laugh as he looked at Raven. "Right Raven? You said so yourself." He adds smiling brightly as he set his cup down. "I think I'll go join Alice if that's alright." He says standing up and looking at Sharon to make sure it was alright. She smiled at him with a slight nod as he gave them a small bow before exiting the room. 'Adriana... Watch them and find out any information you can. It'll be fun to find out what they're hiding from me.' He thought with a small giggle as a shadow forms behind him.

"It's impolite to eavesdrop, Oz..." Adriana's voice says calmly as Oz turns to her smiling happily.

'Yeah it is, but if you sit in there and simply listen it's not eavesdropping because you are simply there.' Oz thought to her with a slight grin and she frowns.

"You're not going to take 'no' for an answer are you, Oz?" She says with a small sigh as she listened to him laugh.

"I love you, Adriana." He says turning and walking away causing the shadow to disappear and enter the room cautiously, knowing that two out of the three could sense things like her. She calmly sat in a chair in the corner farthest away from them and watched them calmly listening just like Oz had asked her to.

'What are you trying to find out Oz?' She thought as Raven slams his hands on the table causing her to focus.

"What are you trying to do to Oz, Break?" Raven yells in annoyance glaring at Break who simply smiled innocently at him sucking on a sucker.

"Nothing really... if Oz-kun goes to the mansion where he was pulled into Abyss he would realize the amount of time he has been gone, in which he would be very distraught over right?" Break says biting the candy off the stick throwing it on his empty plate with a small smirk as Raven looked away from him, hating the fact that he could be right. "Besides you want to keep your charades up, correct... Gilbert?" He says causing Raven's eyes to harden as he stood up and looking back at Break with a hateful look.

"Shut up!" He says before walking out onto the balcony to smoke a cigarette.

"Break... was that really necessary?" Sharon says calmly picking up her tea as Break sensed something strange pass the table and he looked out of the door way toward Raven curiously, unknowingly watching Adriana, who had ran after Raven.

"Raven-sama, your Gilbert-kun?" She says in shock standing in the door way of the balcony her blonde hair blowing in the breeze but her voice and looks go unseen by the humans looking her way. She stared at him with a look of deep sorrow realizing that they still could not hear her. She then walked over to him and looked at his face and at the cigarette in his mouth. "Is it possible?" She whispered reaching her hand up to him and brushed her fingers across his cheek. 'The one we are looking for is you...' She thought frowning as Raven shuddered at the touch of her fingers. "I am nothing but a ghostly wind right now." She says with a small laugh as she pulled her hand away. "Forgive me for giving you the chills, Gilbert-kun." She says smiling slightly as she fallows his eyes to see Alice and Oz sitting together in the garden talking.

"That damn rabbit..." She hears him mutter as she looked back at him with a small frown.

"You really shouldn't call people names. That's how the fight between you, Vincent-kun, Alice-san and Alyss-chan all started..." Adriana states in a motherly tone knowing no one could hear her, well if she called loud enough Oz and Alice might hear her down in the garden, but despite her words being unheard she was really happy that she could be standing beside her Gilbert. 'I can't wait till I tell Oz! He'll be so happy to hear about it. I want to see his happy reaction...' She thought clapping her hands together before she gasps realizing something Oz had told her. "W-Wait... How, could this be...?" She says looking at Raven with confused eyes, studying him with her eyes. "Just how is this possible? Did Alyss send us to the wrong time?" She spoke with shock as she looked over to Oz, who was smiling happily at Alice. 'Should I tell him? No... I'll talk to Jet and Samael-kun about it... I shouldn't involve Zillah-chan, she's too fragile... She'd probably break. Alyss-chan would not be happy about that.' She thought with a small frown as she glanced at the window to see Sharon looking at her curiously. 'Oh no... could she possibly see me... through the glass?' Adriana thought in shock as she saw Sharon stand up causing her to quickly disappear in the wind.

"Um Raven... Was there someone out here with you just now? By a chance?" Sharon says with a curious look on her face looking at the black haired man. He looked at her curiously before shaking his head. "No? That's strange, it looked like a maid was out here talking to you but she didn't look familiar to me." She says placing her index finger against her pursed lips in confusion.

"Maybe it is the ghost Raven saw a few nights ago." Break says with a slight chuckle and Raven flinched and glared at him wondering how the bastard found out about that. Sharon also looked at him with a slight glare before walking over to where Adriana was standing a few moments a few minutes before.

"OI! Sharon-chan, Raven!" Oz shouts up from the garden drawing all three's attention. He waved up at them happily as he pulled Alice closer to the balcony. "It's such a nice day out you guys! Come out and play!" He shouts with a small laugh as he did a small spin to express his enthusiasm but Alice didn't look enthused at all.

"I'm not out here to play you, stupid manservant!" Alice shouts smashing her fist onto Oz's head causing Gilbert to shout at her.

"Hey! Don't you dare hit him again you stupid rabbit!" Raven shouts shaking his fist and Alice shouts back at him.

"I can hit him all I want! He's my manservant!" Alice shouts back pointing at Raven with a glare. "There's nothing you can do about it!" She says triumphantly, Raven growled in annoyance, oh so tempted to pull his gun out on her and put a whole round of bullets into her stupid deceiving body.

"Alice! Raven!" Oz says looking at the two with a slight nervous look on his face sensing the tension. "Guys, don't fight! Shouldn't we just finish the report as fast as we can so we can continue with other business?" Oz says loudly with a slight smile looking at Break who smirked down at him.

"Yes, why don't we finish." Break says turning and walking away with Sharon fallowing after, leaving Raven glaring down at Alice. Oz smiles slightly knowing Break had left to do his work and would soon be able to get what he wanted.

"Once he finishes that report we can go off to the mansion! We can look for memories, Alice. Won't you be patient? Just for a little while?" Oz says looking at Alice with a sweet smile on his face and Alice sighs in annoyance.

"Like I have a choice! That stupid clown better get a move on and finish quickly!" She shouts walking back into the building, Oz smiled happily as he turned to Raven who was staring down at him.

"Hey Raven, stay there and I'll give you some company!" Oz shouts happily up to Raven before running off into the house. Raven stared at the empty spot before smiling softly as he turned and leaned against the railing as he remember what Oz had asked him when they were driving back from Nosambria.

"I...I want to write a letter to Gil... I want to know... if... he'll for...give... me and my... Is th...kay?" Oz's voice echoes sleepily in his head as Raven sighs.

'I don't have to actually send it... It'd probably make him feel better. And it's not like anyone has to actually read it...' Raven thought with a slight frown as he crossed his arms deepening his thought as Oz appeared in the door way. The boy looked at him curiously before strolling over to him, standing next to him besides the railing.

"What's Raven thinking about?" Oz says with an innocent curious look as Raven opened his eyes in slight shock, surprised Oz got up there so fast. He quickly recovered before looking out into the garden.

"Nothing that you have to worry about, Oz." Raven says softly as Oz frowns slightly and leans over to look at Raven's face.

'Raven seems like a hard person to figure out.' Oz thought with a slight sad look on his face as he noticed that Alice had sat back at the table in the room. 'Alice why don't you come out and join us?" Oz calls waving to the girl, who flipped him the bird and turned to ignore them. 'She just... Why?' He thought with a shocked look as he noticed Raven's annoyed look. "Heh... Heh... Alice must still be mad at me for saying we had to wait to go to the mansion." Oz says with a slight nervous laugh trying to keep Raven from getting angry at the short tempered girl again.

"She just has to deal with it!" Raven says with a growl as he looked at Oz before sighing. "Do you remember when you asked me if you could write a letter to someone?" Raven says feeling like his heart was going to stop from the look of hope Oz's face. He quickly looked away and bit his lip slightly trying to calm his ever tightening chest. "Well I thought about it and as long as Break and Sharon do not find out about it... It'll be okay." Raven says closing his eyes partly wonder what Oz would write and partly worried about him getting caught. He was so caught up in his sudden thoughts that he didn't even notice the tears that were forming in Oz's eyes before he spoke.

"Really? You're going to let me? You're going to let me write my letter?" Oz says smiling happily as he tackles Raven into a hug almost knocking both of them off the balcony; luckily Raven caught his balance before they tumbled over. He was about to yell at Oz but one look of Oz's pure happy smile stopped and causing him to stare at the boy. "I'm so happy! I've wanted to do this for such a long time! You have no idea!" Oz says sounding as if he was tearing up as he pulled away. "I'm going to start writing it right now! Thanks so much Raven." Oz says spinning around to rush into the mansion, leaving a stunned Raven staring after him.

'For a long time... huh?' Raven thought smiling sadly as he turned toward the garden feeling the breeze blow through his hair. 'Not as long as I have, I am sure, Bocchan.' He thought covering his eyes with his bangs.

"Yo Seaweed head..." Alice calls from the door way bringing Raven from his bittersweet thoughts to glare at her but the glare left as he noticed she didn't look annoyed but had a slight smile. "Oz looked really happy... He hasn't looked like that for a while, whatever you said to him, it really cheered him up. So..." She said strongly trailing off with a look of annoyed embarrassment.

'She's trying to thank me?' Raven thought in a surprised way as he reached his hand up to the back of his head scratching it slightly before he walked toward her then past her. "You don't need to bother finishing that sentence, you stupid Rabbit!" He said walking away from her to check on Break to make sure he was doing his work. Alice glared at him before yelling at him telling him she would never try to thank him ever again and that he was a worthless bastard. Raven couldn't help but smirk at her words because she didn't understand what he was trying to say. 'That's to be expected from the stupid rabbit.' He thought in an amused way as he entered the study.
