See? I am updating. This chapter is really short (sorry!) but I'll try to update again soon. The Tyki chapters are shorter just because Eez's side of the story has much more content and I like the Eez, Tyki pattern. Anyway, I'm sorry about last chapter, I wrote it in small increments since the time I updated before that, so it was really choppy. I hope you like this one better. Please review, regardless!

Chapter 9: Tyki: Suspicions

As the days passed, Road grew more and more suspicious of Tyki's behaviour. If Tyki was having any doubts about his Noah side, he could not continue to be trusted. This all seemed too similar to how it had started with the 14th. Road knew that something had to be done immediately. Before she did anything drastic, however, she had to be sure that her suspicions were correct. She decided to have a little talk with Tyki.

Tyki was sitting alone in the Noah family room, reading the paper from some local town. He glanced up for an instant when he heard footsteps.

"Hello Road, more homework?" he asked.

"No, Tyki. You know as well as I do that it's summer break!"

He did. It had been all she was talking about over dinner.

"So, what are you here for?"

"Can't I spend time with my family without an interrogation?" Road pouted.

"Yes, but you always want something…"

"Fine… It's just that, I'm starting to wonder about you Tyki." She said, cocking her head to the side.

"Really? How so?" Tyki answered absentmindedly, flipping through his paper.

"You seem to have something on your mind, and it's stopping you every time we face exorcists. I'm not stupid. I notice these things."

There's nothing to worry about, Road. I'm fine. You're probably just imagining these things because you're so bored. Come. Let's go hunting."

Road seemed a little but taken aback by his suggestion, but thought that it must be a good sign.

"Okay, Tyki, let's go." She said as they left.

I'll just have to attack the tallest first, thought Tyki grimly as they left, I'll have to be more careful from now on…
