When Kimi woke up to find she was back in the bedroom, which didn't surprise her much, Theo always carried her there when she was unable to walk for some reason or another. A smile graced her lip when she saw Theo asleep on her chest; hold her so closely to him as though afraid that if he let go he would lose her, he looked so peaceful and content.
She stroked his hair as he slept, moving his fringe to reveal the handsome face that was hardly ever seen, along with his unusual but breathtaking green eyes that was currently hidden behind grey lashed eyelids. She just lay there watching him sleep, it being the first time she had ever seen him sleep, contently wishing she could stay in that moment forever.
Even though she didn't know herself completely yet, there was one thing she knew that she loved the man in front of her, the man who that took her in when she had no where else to go, looked after her, made her laugh so freely and held onto to her so tightly. She didn't know what would become of her if she found the men she had to look for, but she know that she had to return to his side no matter what happened.
As she watch she saw that look of the deepest sadness paste itself onto Theo face, the look she hated seeing with all her being, the look caused a frowned to etch itself on her face as she wondered what he was dreaming about.
Theo's dream:
He lay with Kimi in his arms, clutching her to him, he shock her gently to desperately trying to wake her, whispering
"Kimi wake up. please… I need you… I love you Kimi…. Please don't leave me alone…."
No matter how much he begged, or shook she still remained lifeless in his grasp, her face showing a ghost of the pain she had just been through. He checked her pulse and breathing, there was nothing… he felt his heart ache… she had… she had left him… all alone with only a reminder of her presence… and a cold corpse….
Theo opened his eyes, surprised to see Kimi frown down at him, but as soon as she realise her frown melted and her features softened into a sweet smile. He quickly sat up and pulled her into a hug, "I'm so glad your okay, I was so worried" he whispered.
"I'm sorry I worried you, I didn't mean to" hugging him back tightly she looked up at his face, what she saw surprised her, tears where rolling down his face as he looked at her, "I'm sorry Theo" she pulled him close resting her head on his chest.
"What happened?" Theo asked breaking the embrace, no matter how much he wanted to hold her, he had to find out.
She told him about the falling out of bed and crawling into the bathroom because she felt the cough coming back and about the bullet, which reminded her she still needed to retrieve that from the sink, and about her talks with Ivory.
"So you were a death god, but you were turned into a human by the bullet made out of a death god's weapon? How could mere human get their hands on such a thing?"
"Yes I am, but due to the bullet being lodged in my brain I lost my memories and turned into a human. I haven't a clue but I will find them and find out how they got the weapon and what they are trying to accomplish"
"You can't! It would be dangerous to go and find them, especially if they have gotten any further into what they are doing."
"I have to, I'm the only one who could possible find them and if I got anyone else involved, and they got injured I couldn't forgive myself. Plus they have to be found soon before they target anyone else, for if a death god get hit with on of them bullets not only do they turn into humans, if they don't turn back in time their soul rips itself apart" Kimi states in a rather matter of a fact tone slightly regretting the last sentence when she saw Theo's expression it hit him hard as he realised how dire the situation really was.
"At least let me go with you"
"I can't, I love you too much to put you in that kind of danger, I'd rather die a thousand times then see you hurt because of me." She exclaims honestly 'woops!' she thinks
Theo is taken aback by what she had just said, staring at her for a few seconds before saying "but I love you too much to let you go alone"
She smiles, as butterflies in her stomach start to flutter, he loves her, her face starts to burn as she's filled with happiness. She leans into him and kisses him, the sensation of her lips on his sends chills through her body. This surprises him slight but he soon returns the kiss relishing the feeling of her lips, their softness and sweetness.
Breaking apart, she sighs lightly before saying "don't worry, they will not catch me off guard this time" she smiles "plus I have reason to come back" stretching lightly she thinks 'ivory lets do this, I'm ready to return to my original form' the usual voice replies, 'as long as your sure' 'as sure as I'll ever be' she thinks in return.
Her cloths started to warp the undertaking outfit changed to a white trench coat, a black shirt and trousers with a white and gloves tie. Her hair changed as well, it grow longer and plaited itself, as her eyes made a final change as her left turned a fierce silver and her right turned a vivid green. Her scythe reappeared by her side, (it was white with green ivy pattern round the staff, with two silver roses entwined but the start of the blade).
Grinning widely "man it's good to be back" she laughed "I may be a little rusty but I'm give them what's coming to them"
"Well that's an image that brings memories~" Theo chuckles after her new appearance had sunk in.
"Hehe you noticed huh? Well I based my look on a certain reaper that I greatly admired during my training"
"Admired?" he said blushing slightly,
"Yes and I even had the privilege of seeing him before he retired"
"When?"
"When I was walking the corridors late at night, when I overheard a conversation between a tutor and him, and I was caught laughing"
"What were you? Ha who'd have thought that interesting little person would turn out to be the very person I would fall in love with~"
"Indeed, and who'd have thought that I would ever met that handsome grey haired reaper again, never mind being saved and loved by him"
"Hehe true," he chuckled a deep blush forming on his face at being called handsome, before he made a decision "as your determined to go alone, would you a least consider some training?"
"Training? I'd love too, its not every day you get the offer of being trained by a legend" she lent her scythe against the wall before glomping Theo and kissing him.
"Can we start tomorrow? I just feel like a little recovery today,"
"Sure, want to help me with some guests~?"
"Of course," she giggles "but first I think some breakfast"
"My thoughts exactly~ what would you like~? He grinned at her
"I would like, to make breakfast"
"Really?"
"Yep, it's the least I could do at what I've put you through, right, I'll be back" she smiled at him before walking over to the window, opening it and jumping out.
"She truly is a strange one~ I do hope she's careful~" he chuckled before getting of the bed, grabbing his hat and walking out the bedroom.
20 minutes later:
Returning soon after with a large bag of groceries, Kimi walked through the front of the Undertakers to find Theo waiting for her sat on a coffin facing the door.
"That was quick~ did you get every thing you wanted~?" he asked with his usual grin occupying his face.
"Pretty much," smiling at him, walking past she stopped by him stole his hat and ruffled his hair, before disappearing into the back.
Following her into the living area, curious what she was up too he found her wiping up ingredients in a large mixing bowl, before ladling the mixture into a frying pan.
"What you making~?" Theo asks not recognising what she cooking
"You'll see in a minute, it's almost ready" she says without turning as she starts heating up a gulping liquid in a pan. "You might as well sit down"
A few minutes later Kimi came walking over to the dining table with plates of food, placing one in front of Theo and her own the other side, she sat down. Theo immediately started tucking into the stack of peculiar fried food covered in warm sugary substance.
"Wow these are really good~ what are they called?" says Theo as he quickly demolished his stack.
"You sound surprised, was someone doubting my cooking ability?" she laughed "They're pancakes, thought they'd be prefect since you have a monster of a sweet tooth, and there's some more over there if you want them"
His grin widened, "like I would do something like that~ indeed hehe~ where?"
"Umm, yea I believe you, I'll go get them if you do one thing for me" she said giving at him with a fake suspicious look before smiling at him.
"And what would that be ~"
"Move your fringe" she replied simply
"Sounds like a reasonable request~" he chuckled move his hair once more revealing his eyes.
She walked over to the stove, taking out the extra plate of pancakes pouring the syrup over them before handing them over to eagerly awaiting Theo.
After finishing breakfast, they set about work for the morning, laughing and joking along with the occasional limb fight followed by guess the leg as they tried to match them back to the body.
So ended another interesting day, with Kimi just happy to be at Theo, the lovable lunatic's, side.
