Recap: I blinked, the vision was fading away, What the hell was that?! I couldn't believe what I had just seen, it couldn't be possible. I took a deep breath and settled my thoughts, I knew that this was how I was intended to react, this was very complicated after all.

~Chapter 10~

Within a few more seconds I blinked and I was back in the hotel room, I glanced over at L, he blinked and looked around the room quietly. I reached out and wrapped my mind around his, I felt him flinch uncomfortably, but he didn't pull away or anything and after a few seconds he even accepted it more fully. It was like a mental hug and I felt so relieved that L didn't just push me away, or keep to himself. I could see that he seemed uncomfortable, but he also had an almost imperceptible smile on his face.

Mercury!!! What the hell was that? What happened?! Are you okay?! I sighed and eased a little bit away from L's mind…and was extremely surprised to feel him pull it more firmly around him. When I glanced at him he was facing away from me, but I could still see part of his face and the blush that stained it. I smiled to myself and remained around L's mind as I replied to Palla's panicked thoughts.

Palla, it's okay…it was just a vision…an extremely strong one that could change how everything happens…that's why other people were pulled into it, I apologize for dragging you into it.

…it's okay. Especially now that we're all back and normal. I could feel Palla's smile like a soft warm breeze that swept over my face. I returned the smile and felt her shiver at the sensation it caused, then a thought bubbled to the surface of my mind.

Palla…you seen Rabbit…didn't you?

…Yeah…yeah I did.

I don't suppose you were able to find out where he is or how he is doing…have you?

……No, I wasn't able to reach him…almost as if something was blocking our connection. I felt her frown of disappointment like a cold, harsh wind that raked down my spine. I closed my eyes and took deep even breaths, my calmness reached out to her and her disappointment in herself abated quickly afterwards.

It's okay. I understand, in fact I believe that Davis may have had something to do with the intervention in my vision…

Like how we were unable to contact each other and how we were kept apart…and even the unnatural panic that came over us?

Exactly. And why it took so long for my vision to come to me. I don't know what he's planning…but it has to be something major and it must be much more effective than anything else he's managed to build and use so far.

… I felt another wave of panic wash over Palla quickly, but she drowned it out before it could take hold, That's it Palla…don't be afraid. I'll protect all of you for as long as I have breath in me. Palla's mind faded from mine and it was back to me and L.

No one had noticed anything out of the ordinary so I had to assume that the whole episode hadn't lasted too long and/or they had been too preoccupied with other things to notice if anything had changed about us. I sought my internal clock only to discover that it had taken all of ten minutes, for the vision, for being suspended in the dark void and being separated and such.

After making sure nothing was out of the ordinary with the others in the room I stood, only for my legs to feel a bit unsteady, my knees almost buckled, Damn! My legs feel so weak…that vision has shaken everything…and how I continue from here defines the immediate future… I felt a small wave of apprehension wash through me quickly before I pushed it aside, closed my eyes and with a renewed determination I affirmed my beliefs and my love for L…which I kept from him as I did so.

Once I was sure of myself once again, which took all of ten seconds in reality and had felt like ten minutes in my mind, I headed to the room where all of L's sweets were located, and sensing a slight craving from him, grabbed both of us something sweet to eat. Of course there wasn't much choice for that, but the sweet taste would wipe out the bitterness left over from the void.

I headed back to the main room, handed L a nice big piece of cake and a bowl of sugar, then took a few bites of my own cake before turning to the other room, where Aiyu waited. I need to check on Aiyu.

…Okay. I could feel him shudder, mentally, in response to hearing my voice again, this time out of the void. A small smile crossed my face at his reaction as I opened the door to the room, after making sure no one else noticed me of course.

Almost as soon as I had the door open a pair of small arms wrapped around my waist and Aiyu buried her head into my stomach, I blinked down at her, somewhat surprised because Aiyu had never shown this kind of fear. I frowned when I noted that Aiyu was trembling heavily, I shuffled forward a few steps and quickly pushed the door shut telekinetically as I kneeled down and pulled Aiyu into a hug so that her head was resting on my shoulder instead of in my stomach.

I could feel moisture on my shoulder and pulled Aiyu away enough to see her face only to see that she was crying heavily. I pulled her back to me quickly, nearly crushing her to me as I gently rubbed her back comfortingly. Finally after staying this way for about half an hour Aiyu was calm enough to pull away, she looked up at me with puffy red eyes, her lower lip was still trembling slightly, I smiled gently down at her, It's okay.

Aiyu nodded slowly, despite the fact that I'd only said two words and that I had whispered them into her mind instead of out loud as she preferred. I could still feel that the two words had had a profound effect on her and she was calmed much more then when I first came in.

We went to sit on the bed and Aiyu curled into my arms, we only sat and I held her against me.
