Warning: I don't think there is anything I need to warn anyone about… Sheryl is crazy and so is the Earl?
And No Beta for this chapter! I want to see if I'm getting better or not with my spelling…
Special thanks to RikoJasmine for letting me barrow Liang Lee ( aka Male Lenalee Lee) for this story! : )
Pairings: Tyki x FemAllen, Liang x FemAllen (one-sided)
The Third Child couldn't put into words what he was feeling at this moment. It wouldn't have been all that horrible if it wasn't for the wide grins on the faces of the only other two in the dinning room.
Those two wide and sinister smiles were enough to make even his skin crawl…
The Noah of Pleasure had returned from his little trip with Allen. He had no sooner stepped foot into Noah's Ark when an Akuma maid and come to him and relayed that the Earl wanted to see him.
Tyki frowned and fallowed the servant to the family dinning room. The sight that greeted his eyes should have set off warning bells, but like the fool he was, instead of turning and running Tyki had taken a seat at the table.
His guard was up however, as two sets of gold eyes were suddenly fixed on him, one set thoughtful and the other plotting. Sheryl was the first to start grinning. His brother sitting in the seat next to Adam, a small stack of papers in a black folder on the table in front of the oldest of the Clan.
The Noah of Pleasure took note as his brother smoothly closed the folder, blocking his eyes from seeing what the papers read, and the moment his brother fixed his "I'm Innocent" look on his face, Tyki know that he was in trouble.
The Millennium Earl chuckled and then also smiled at him, and Tyki had the sinking feeling that what was in that folder was bad for him. The Earl seemed to pick up on the fact the he was becoming very unconvertible under their gazes, and this only seemed to make the First of the Clan smile wider.
"Tyki-pon~" The Earl sang out in a voice that reminded him to much of Sheryl. His brother seemed to smile a little wider and Tyki fought down the urge to shudder. "I have been hearing some interesting things…"
Tyki fixed his brother with a dark look, and Sheryl only giggled in amusement. The Earl folded his hands in front of him and seemed to be thinking of the best way to approach what he wanted to speak about. "Tyki-pon, Sheryl has been telling me about how the Exorcist ball went." The Earl started, his voice light and filled with a underlining amusement.
The Third Child frowned deeper and his hands gripped the arms of his chair a little harder then he had intended. He needed to hold on to something though, anything to held him keep his composer for what he knew the Maker was going to say next.
"I hear that you have become very fond of a certain Exorcist…" He said in a more serious tone. Tyki's golden eyes narrowing and he braced himself. He hadn't wanted to ask the Earl about keeping the young woman so soon, but…
"Allen Walker~, a young woman with a parasitic left arm, correct?" The Earl continued, over riding anything that Tyki was about to say. He raised a fine eyebrow at the look on the Firsts face. He looked to be deep in thought, though his smile didn't waver.
Sheryl nodded his head, his smile still as wide as ever. "That would be her." He said in a gleeful voice, and Tyki had the feeling that he was missing something. The Earl narrowed his gold eyes.
"Tell me Tyki-pon, is there anything that I should know about this young woman?"
Tyki's dark gray lips twisted down more, and he nodded his head. He had been meaning to talk to the Earl about Allen sense their night together. He had just been waiting for the right time. Though it looked like he couldn't put it off any longer. "She knows the melody." he said in a even voice.
The Earl simply nodded his head and Tyki blinked, the Oldest of the Clan was acting like he had known this all along, and clapped his hands before himself happily. His smile wider then ever.
"Is that so? She sounds like a very interesting young woman~!" the Earl sang out happily. He turned and met Sheryl's gaze for just a moment. The Fourth Child grinned even wider and Tyki had to fight the urge to shudder at the look in his brothers eyes.
They were plotting something…
"I approve~!" Adam added after a little amused and pleased chuckle and Tyki had the feeling that the Maker was talking to him and Sheryl. And the Third Child was almost positive that it had something to do with that black folder…
"Your dismissed Tyki-pon~."
The Third Child slowly stood, the Maker's and the Noah of Desire's gold eyes watching him, their smiles wide and devious. They both snickered, the sound filled with a deep amusement and a sinister mischief.
Tyki swallowed, every ounce if his being telling him of the impending doom. His brother was plotting something, and now it was painfully obvious that the Earl was in on it to…
He had been fully prepared for the Patriarch of the Clan of Noah to question his choice. To maybe show a little disapproval of him choosing an Exorcist, and then for the Maker to give his approval once he realized that he truly cared for her.
This had been much to easy…
But Tyki was not going to let that damper the fact that he had been given the green light to pursue the white haired Exorcist much earlier then he had expected. He could barely keep the smile from his lips as he moved to the door to take his leave, when the Earl called out to him.
"Oh, I almost forgot Tyki-pon! I want you to take some free time, you have been working very hard lately and I think you could use some~." The way the Earl said it made it clear that Tyki was not to argue.
And yet Tyki couldn't shake the feeling that this 'free time' was all part of the plot.
Sheryl's evil little snicker was a dead give away actually….
XXX
Once again Tyki heaved a heavy sigh as he was proven right. He had left the Ark and not even two weeks into his free time, the Earl sent him a mission. An Innocence had been uncovered in the mountains that was very close to where he was at the moment.
He was to over see the Akuma that the Earl had sent after the piece of 'God Cryistal'. Then he was to destroy it once the Akuma had recovered it.
Tyki frowned, pushing his glasses a little higher on his nose and sighing again. He then blinked when he noticed Cole and John shooting him concerted looks. The Noah of Pleasure shook his head and offered his human friends an apologetic smile.
"Are you sure you're up to this Tyki?" Cole asked, as he fixed his light green hat. His dark eyes looking just as concerned as the man that stood next to him, John. The brown haired man shared a concerned look with Cole before they looked back at him. "We need you to be focused Tyki." Cole added.
Tyki smiled reassuringly at his two human friends, though he knew they didn't quit believe him. He knew that he had been acting off lately, it was such a pain when both his White and Black self's had to work so close together…
"Really guys, I'm fine. Lets go and cheat some poor fools out of their hard earned money." He made sure to speak in a overly confident tone, hoping that would spur his friends to continue into the bar that they had stopped in front of.
They were in a rather large mining town, only a few miles away from where the Innocence had been reported to have been found. Tyki was at the moment playing his White Form to make sure that his human friends didn't get dragged into anything.
He was quite found of his human friends after all.
John and Cole nodded their heads though they still looked far from convinced, and Tyki couldn't help but smile. He had missed having this simple life. It had been awhile sense he had been in his White Form and he wasn't going to let the fact that he was also working interfere with him enjoying spending time with his human companions.
"I think its only fair, don't you boys?" A deep and gruff voice sounded loudly from within the bar. John and Cole turned to look at the partly opened door. Tyki cocked his head and narrowed his dark brown eyes.
"Yeah! You cheated, its only right that you compensate us…" another voice called out. Tyki and his friends shared a look. It sounded like their was trouble brewing, but that didn't stop the three miners from entering the bar.
As soon as Tyki entered, he did a quick sweep of the bar. The light was dim, and the place was crowded. Off to the far right and front of the large bar was a group of about five well built men, and he vaguely recognized them from the mines. The group of men were surrounding someone that was obviously pretty short, because nothing of the person in the center of the men could be seen.
From what he could hear, it sounded like the person had been caught cheating in a game of poker. And Tyki was just going to leave the poor fool to their fate…
"I think I should get the first go, what do you think girlie?" The man said in a voice lined deep with disgusting implications. The man reached forward and his large hand took a hard grip of the other person, and that was when he stepped to the side.
The Noah of Pleasure froze as he caught sight of white hair and the familiar black and silver of an Exorcist coat. A dark frown twisted on his lips as he realized who the men were talking to.
Allen Walker hissed at the man that had grabbed her. Her angry silver eyes glaring at the man that had her by the left arm. Her pink lips pulled in a deep frown. The large miner snickered and Tyki's blood boiled as he then reached forward with his other hand and took a hard grip of the young woman's pale chin.
"Why don't we go and find a nice quit place? I'll show you a good way to work off some of that low life's debt…"
He barely heard John and Cole call out to him in surprise as he moved, it only took a few long strides to reach the group of humans. His rage was almost blinding as his own hand shot out and took a crushing grip of the hand that was holding Allen by the chin.
He pulled that vile hand off his Allen before the human could blink. The miner turned just a step, his eyes wide. A painful hiss escaped the other male as Tyki's grip only hardened. The larger man was not happy about being interrupted but was also surprised and almost fearful by Tyki's strength.
Tyki's lips curled into an enraged snarl, intent on crushing the humans wrist and maybe ripping out a vital organ or two, when he heard Allen gasp and call out his name in surprise.
His rage was gone just like that, it being replaced by a cold, biting feeling. Tyki felt like he had just been doused in ice cold water…
"Tyki!" John and Cole called as they come up from behind him. The Third Child forced his grip on the human to loosen slightly and the man pulled it free a second later. His blood was singing again with his anger at the human for touching the young woman. But he had to control himself…
He was in his White Form, he had to be careful…
The larger man that was still holding Allen by the arm growled in a warning for Tyki to mind his own business. Tyki's lips twisted into a frown, his eyes flickering over to Allen for only a second before he fixed the man before him with a hard glare. "I think you need to let the young lady go." He said in a even voice.
The Third Child knew that Allen could handle the situation by herself, now that he had a moment to regain his cool head. She was far from being defenseless after all, thanks to her Innocence. But Tyki's 'White Form' didn't know this…
And how could he over look the crime that these humans had committed by laying a hand on her in the first place?
The human smiled darkly at him and Tyki had to fight the need to sigh again. The human suddenly pushed the petite woman back, Allen stumbled and one of the other men took her by the shoulders and held her still.
"I think you need to be taught a lessen." the first man hissed out and reached forward with his now free hand and took Tyki by the shirt. The human drew back his fist and Tyki fought back his dark chuckle as his dark brown eyes narrowed from behind his glasses.
The next few moments happened in a meter of seconds. The fight that fallowed was brutal and bloody. It had started with just their small group. Tyki had twisted and had thrown the first man to the floor. One of his buddies had then jumped on him, and the Noah had let the human land a good punch to his jaw.
He had to make it look convincing after all…
John and Cole had quickly jumped the guy who had hit him, and soon the entire bar was involved. Beer bottles and chairs flew through the air, curses and shouts and fists fallowed.
Tyki couldn't keep the grin from his lips as he landed a good blow to some poor fool that happened to bump into him. His brown eyes flashing with the thrill of a good old fist fight. Though it wasn't at all fair considering his strength and abilities…
If he had really been fighting, he could have had the place cleared out in a heart beat.
He had let himself take a few good hits, and he shook off the ach in his jaw from the first blow that he had received. Damn did that first guy have a mean right hook for a human…
The Third Child could feel his Noah genes surging forth to heal him, but Tyki forced them back. He couldn't let his injuries heal yet. His dark drown eyes slid over to his right. His eyes landing on his white haired Exorcist that was fighting next to him. Tyki blinked as she sent some miner, that was more then twice her size, flying and crashing hard through a wall.
He whistled, impressed. Allen's silver eyes flickered over to him, those beautiful eyes widened and Tyki knew what was about to happen. He mentally sighed and braced himself for the incoming attack. He could have very easily dodged the chair, or could have just let it pass right through him.
But that wasn't the point.
The wooden chair brook over his back with a load crack. Allen gasped and was at his side a second later. It hadn't hurt all that much really, but never the less, he let out a pained groan for good affect. Cole and John joined them and helped him to his feet.
The four of them made it out of the bar, and Tyki took in his human friends injuries. Cole had lost his green hat at some point in the fray, and he had some good bruises forming on the side of his face. Tyki also noted that he would have one hell of a black eye in the morning.
John was rubbing at his right side sourly. His left cheek already dark from a hit that he had taken almost as soon as the fight had start. His lower lip was split and his nose was bloody.
Tyki himself was sporting a good number of bruises. His glasses were broken and barely stayed on his face. His shirt was ripped and his back had a barely noticeable ach when he breathed, but nothing all that bad. All that mattered was that he played hurt good enough to fool Allen.
The white haired young woman didn't have a mark on her, which was a good thing. Tyki had already made a mental note to kill the first human that had been touching her. Along with the others of the group for good measure. He didn't need to add anymore to his list…
Allen was frowning at him, her silver eyes telling him that she wasn't very happy with him at the moment. She then sighed and her beautiful eyes softened. "You shouldn't have gotten involved." she whispered sternly and Tyki couldn't help but smile. Her eyes telling him that she may not have needed his help, but she was still grateful for it.
He offered the young woman a wide grin, raising one hand and rubbing at the back of his head. "What kind of guy would I be if I had just left you alone?" He said in an amused voice before chuckling, then faking a wince of pain to make her feel a little guilty. It looked to have worked as her silver eyes widened with the emotion.
"Man, next time you decide to start a bar fight give us a heads up first… or wait until we've at least gotten something to eat…" John complained. Cole only grunted in agreement. His brown haired friend was the first to acknowledge Allen's presents. One eyebrow raising before he blinked, and Tyki could see the wheels turning inside his head. "Wait-! Your that-?"
The young woman standing next to him giggled nervously, a pretty pink blush staining her pale cheek. Tyki watched as she shifted and started to fidget with her left glove. Her silver eyes flickered between the two older men before her with uncertainty.
It was a very cute display, and he had to tear his eyes away the moment she started to chew on her lower lip. Did she have to temped him like that?
The heat in his blood started rising. "Guys, you remember Allen…" Tyki said in a light voice, trying to ease the situation. John and Cole shared a glance and then they were grinning rather slyly at him.
Tyki couldn't help but think that there were fare to many people looking at him like that these days…
An hour later found them back at the hotel that Tyki and his human friends were staying at. Allen had insisted on helping then treat their wounds and treating them to food. Free food had been the magic words. Their little group was never one to pass up a free meal, so they had gladly excepted.
"So, you two seem close..." Cole said around a mouth full of food. John nodded in agreement, choosing to not be rude like his bald friend when there was a woman in the room. Tyki's dark brown eyes chanced a glance at the young female Exorcist that was in the middle of showing Eze a simple magic trick while he ate.
Allen laughed softly, the sound light and truly happy sounding. It almost sounded like music. "Yeah? What makes you say that?" Tyki grumbled out, pushing his spare pair of glasses up the bridge of his nose. He had yet to look away from the white haired beauty.
John raised an eyebrow, and swallowed the bite of food that was in his mouth. "You hate fighting, and yet you start one over her?" Tyki shot his friend a irritated look, but John was right.
Though he didn't exactly hate fighting, no, he just hated fighting weak humans. They were just so fragile.
Just to easy to kill…
Allen's silver eyes glanced over and met his stare, before she quickly looked away again. A light pink blush tinting her pale cheeks. Eze quickly reclaimed her attention however. A delighted smile adorning her pink lips when Eze begged her to show him the trick again.
The beating of his heart quickened at the sight of her blush. The heat in his blood rising, and he so badly wanted to touch her. To kiss her, he would just be happy to be anywhere close to her…
"…Mana taught me this one, its one of my favorites." She whispered softly, her full pink lips still smiling, but Tyki could see the sorrow in her eyes. They had been eating the food they had picked up on the way back to the hotel, once their battle wounds had been treated of course. Though now with the mentioning of that one name and Tyki didn't feel like eating anymore.
Mana. Mana Walker. The name that had been on that tombstone.
"Is he your husband?" Eze asked rather loudly and John and Cole both choked on the food that they had been chewing. Eze could be so blunt, and so very innocent at times that they were painfully reminded just how young he was.
Tyki closed his eyes as his heart clenched and ached painfully at Eze's simple question. He sighed heavily and covered the side of his face with his right hand. Though Tyki took comfort that the man couldn't have been her husband, or at least he hopped…
"Oh, no. Mana was my father." Allen said in a soft and amused voice. Her silver eyes flickering over to glance at him again at hearing his sigh, before they returned to look kindly at Tyki's small human friend. "He adopted me when I was about your age. He was a traveling Clown and he would teach me all sorts of tricks!"
Eze's dark blue eye lit up at the mention of Clowns and more tricks. "A Clown? Do you know how to juggle? Can you teach me?" Eze asked, his voice full of more energy then the others of their small group had heard in a long time.
Allen only giggled happily, and nodded her head.
Cole, John and Tyki clapped and laughed as Eze helped Allen juggle by throwing her some of the apples that they had picked up earlier. Allen would nod her head when she was ready to add more the impressive amount that she was already juggling and Eze would gladly throw her another.
The child was simply ecstatic. By the end of the night Eze could juggle up to three rounds with three apples, the kid picking it up surprisingly fast.
It had to be about ten o'clock when Tyki felt it. His dark brown eyes blinking and he turned his head to look out of the window. He could feel the Akuma as they were being destroyed by something…
They must have found the Innocence.
A second later the building shook as something crashed into the side of the old wooden hotel. He had only a second more to swear when the floor started to buckled.
Cole and John scrambled to a part of the floor that was not collapsing, before they turned and called out to Eze and Allen. The two had been the closest to the window, which put them at being the closet to the explosion. Tyki felt his heart clench in concern for his small human friend and Allen when he turned and saw that they were gone along with the other half of the room.
Tyki moved forward and was at the opening before his friends could blink. Tyki could hear his friends calling out to him, but he didn't quite care enough to pause. The only thing on his mind was Allen and Eze.
He landed on the ground smoothly, something that was completely unnatural considering that he had just jumped from the third story floor of the hotel. But then he was the Noah of Pleasure and as such had the ability to walk on air…
His dark drown eyes narrowed and he did a quick sweep of the area for whatever had crashed into the hotel. Not seeing anything, his guard was up as he turned to the ruble that was part of the building that Allen and Eze had been standing only a few seconds ago.
Tyki tensed when he heard motion from behind him and turned again. The Third Child didn't have anytime to register what he saw before he was hit and sent flying across the street from the force of the blow.
Tyki hit the building that was across from the hotel with a sickening smack. He growled throw his teeth and pulled himself back to his feet, once he had recovered from the blow. The Third Child could feel his Noah genes surging forth and quickly healing the injuries that he had sustained from hitting the stone wall.
He frowned darkly when the ach in his chest form where he had gotten hit didn't heal. His dark brown eyes rose up, The Noah of Pleasures lips twisted into an anger frown at the twisted monstrosity before him.
The thing had been an animal at some point, Tyki could tell by just looking at it. It had most definitely been a hawk or type of bird. The thing was large, at least half the size of the hotel that Tyki had his friends had been staying in. Its body was white and gray, and what used to be feathers were now hard and looked like scales. In the center of the animals chest was a object that was glowing green.
Innocence, his blood sang, confirming what his mind already knew.
Tyki didn't waist anytime shifting into his Noah form after he made a quick glance around the area for anyone who might see him. His skin darkened to ash and his dark brown eyes bleeding to a flashing gold. His clothes also changing from the clothes he wore as the miner to his black suit. His glasses falling to the ground as he allowed them to pass through him.
The animal that was possessed by the innocence screech and flapped its wings, the piece of 'God Crystal' imbedded in its chest glowing an even brighter green as the monstrosity took to the air.
Tyki's lips twisted into a wide grin at this and fallowed, using his abilities to give chase. He caught up to the thing quickly and summoned his sword of Tease. The Third Child couldn't stop the dark insane chuckle from escaping when he tore into the bird with his blade. His golden eyes burning with triumph as his other hand shot out and his long fingers wrapped around the Innocence. It was much to easy to rip it free a second later, the animal letting lose a pained screech before it exploded.
Tyki chuckled again and allowed himself to drop back to the ground, Innocence in hand. The second his feet were on the ground the Third Child found himself faced with an angry Exorcist.
Allen Walker swung her clawed left hand at him and Tyki grinned, dodging the attack easily. Her silver eyes flashed as she charged him again. The Third Child of Noah again danced smoothly out of the way.
"Come now darling, is that anyway to say hello?" Tyki purred out, his eyes flashing with his mirth at her anger.
Why did he find her anger so cute and attractive?
It must have something to do with the way her pink lips pouted and her beautiful eyes flashed so brightly, Tyki reasoned as he watched her take a few calming breaths. Or the way her cheeks tinted red with the emotion…
He liked watching her fume, it made his blood heat and his heart race. It made him think of other things. Things that made her blush with that captivating shyness that was so different then when she was playing the strong Exorcist.
Tyki smirked, his eyes looking the white haired Exorcist over. Her Innocence was fully activated and Tyki couldn't help but find it impressive. It was beautiful, even for being what it was. It was a much better fit for her now, white and pure…
Tyki felt a morbid sense of pride for the hand that he had in making it that way.
The Third Child pushed those thoughts aside, Allen's tempting lips pulled down into a frown when she noticed him looking her over.
"The Innocence." She hissed out, her voice wavering just slightly. Those silver eyes not quite meeting his gold.
Tyki couldn't keep the leer from his face at the mentioning of the Innocence. He had to bite his tongue to keep himself from commenting about that he already took her Innocence…
Instead he purred out, "What about it?"
Silver eyes narrowed and Allen fixed him with an annoyed look, her lower lip sticking out just a little in an angry pout. Tyki could feel his own lips stretching wider. The heat in his veins spiking at the sight.
"Your not just going to give it to me are you? What do you want…" She breathed out and looked for all the world even more unconvertible. Her pale cheeks heating up and staining a gorgeous pink.
It was now that Tyki realized that he was still leering at her. An idea came to mind and Tyki chuckled maybe a little to wickedly, he was starting to sound a little to much like Sheryl…
"I want a proper greeting, darling."
Yes, Tyki wanted a proper greeting from the tempting young woman standing before him.
Allen blinked and looked for all the world to be truly confused. Tyki tried to not find this as cute as when she was angry, but failed. His heart beat increasing with just the thought of what he was about to ask from her.
"I want a kiss," he breathed out huskily, before he showed her the Innocence that he held in his hand. "For this."
Allen's cheeks flushed a bright red and her eyes widened. Those sinfully tempting lips parted to deny him, but Tyki had the better cards. She didn't know the game they were playing, so that naturally gave him the advantage. "Is that a no darling? Well then I guess I can always destroy-"
"Wait!" She cried out and took a step forward as Tyki made to close his open palm around the glowing green 'God Crystal'. The Third Child grinned and waited patently as his white haired Exorcist deactivated her Innocence and slowly made her way to him, looking truly reluctant.
Her silver eyes still not meeting his gold as she came to a stop before him, her thin frame shaking just slightly and Tyki almost felt sorry for her. But his black self was going to play this hand and get his prize…
"You are really going to give it to me if-" Tyki didn't hear what else she was going to say as he covered her mouth his free hand. His gold eyes flashing when that fire burned along his skin just by the simple touch. Allen shuddered, her eyes unfocused as Tyki moved that hand to cup her left cheek, his thumb brushing against the heated skin there.
"I wouldn't lie to you darling." He whispered and leaned down to brush his lips against hers. They were so much softer then he remembered them, so much sweeter. Tyki had to force down his moan at just how much he enjoyed kissing her, touching her.
Had it really been that long since he had last tasted her?
He pulled away after a few moments, and Tyki was pleased to note that her cheeks were still flushed and her eyes were still closed. Her brow was creased in concentration and it took the young woman a moment to realize that he was no longer kissing her.
As soon as her eyes fluttered open he was kissing her again, the fire in his blood singing with the need to taste her more. Tyki pulled her closer and her lips parted as a muffled moan sounded from her throat. The Noah of Pleasure didn't hesitate and forced his tongue in to her mouth the second he had the opening.
He took his time enjoying her lips and mouth before he forced himself to pull away again. Tyki was even more pleased that Allen hadn't made any move to pull away before he had. The Third Child smirked and took a few steps back. His Exorcist blinked her silver eyes open and just now seemed to realize what had just taken place, not once, but twice.
Tyki felt an odd mix of guilt and joy at the fact that she had enjoyed his kiss. Though he could see that she was also feeling guilty over the betrayal of kissing another man. Kissing someone that was not 'Tyki the Miner'.
If only she knew that 'Tyki the Miner' and 'Tyki the Noah' were one in the same. Then she wouldn't be feeling such guilt. He wouldn't have to see that look in her eyes…
But she was still not ready to learn that yet. He wasn't ready to tell her and end this game that he was playing. Tyki wouldn't let this game end until he was insured his victory over the Black Order and that male Exorcist, Liang Lee.
His smirk widened into a grin as he tossed her the Innocence, his white haired Exorcist barely catching it. Those enchanting silver eyes widening in disbelief and confusion.
And damn it, he want to kiss her again…
"We had a deal. I got what I wanted, so its only fair that I give you what I promised." Tyki said in a smug sounding voice, because he knew that she had enjoyed his kiss whether she wanted to or not.
Because his Black Side had gained one more win. After all, he had to make up for the lose that he had suffered at the hands of Liang Lee at the ball.
"Until next time darling." He purred out in a tone lined with promise and took a few more steps back, phasing through a wall of the building behind him. Once he was out of her sight Tyki turned and shifted back into his White Side.
It was easy to work his way back around, back to the hotel. Tyki came around the other direction from where his Black Side had disappeared to insure that she didn't get suspicious. As soon as he stepped around the corner of the building the Third Child fixed a concerned look on his face.
"Allen!" he called out in a voice lined with that concern.
Those silver eyes turned and flashed with happiness to see that he was ok, but then that guilt rose to the surface all to soon. Tyki pretended that he didn't see it. "Are you ok? What about Eze?" he asked in a out of breath manner.
Allen smiled then, but it didn't quit reach her eyes. "Eze is fine. He's with the inn keeper." his Exorcist whispered.
"I'm sorry…" Allen added in a even quieter tone, so quiet that Tyki almost missed it.
He was about to open his mouth to ask what she was sorry for (though he already knew) when his human friend came out of the building. John and Cole came running up to them, Eze not to fare behind. The child eyes lit up with excitement.
"Show them Allen! She has wings! White ones!" Eze said in a voice full of wonder. His blue eyes shinning with awe. Allen laughed nervously and waved her hands in front of herself in a defense of manner.
"Its not like that…" Allen forced out. It was then that she paused, her silver eyes locked on his face. Tyki frowned and then realized what the problem was. His face remained confused, but he swore rather loudly in his head.
His glasses.
Tyki forced down the need to sweat at the sharp look he was getting, luckily John came to his rescue and came up with his glasses. The Noah of Pleasure quickly replaced them on his face and forced a smile on his lips.
Allen frowned at him.
The next day came. The rising of the sun found him walking Allen to the train station. He was tired and he knew she was to, having stayed up all night answering questions about what exactly she did for a living. Tyki was proud of himself for his acting skills, playing shocked and confused as long as he had…
He really should get some kind of award.
"So," Tyki started, making sure his voice was as laid back as possible. "Your going to return to your Exorcist base?" he asked. Allen's silver eyes flickered over to look at him for just a moment before they fixed themselves ahead of her again. Slowly she nodded her head.
His lips twisted into a concerned frowned. "Your not going to go on another 'mission' are you?"
Her lips twisted down just a fraction, her eyes still trained in front of her. "I'm an Exorcist. It's what I do." She said in a even tone, her eyes looking sad. They walked up the stairs that would take them to the train plat form, her train already having pulled into the station.
"It's it dangerous? Can you get killed?" He asked her, and Allen's lips only pulled down a little more in answer to his questions. Of Course Tyki knew how dangerous it was, but he wouldn't let her get hurt. She was one of his chosen after all.
He walked her up to the open door, and Tyki was glad that his human friends had decided to not come. Actually, Cole and John having insisted on Tyki escorting her by himself. Eze wanted to come, but was convinced that he should stay behind with the other two miners.
Eze…
("Is he your husband?" Eze asked rather loudly.)
Suddenly warm hands took a hold of his white shirt and Tyki blinked. Allen then slid her hands up and they came to rest at the base of his neck. Her soft pink lips were fixed in a sad smile as she then pulled him down and Tyki didn't resist her. That pleasurable fire making it so the thought of resisting her was the last thing on his mind.
She pulled him down, but still had to stand on tip toe to push her lips against his. The Third Child tried to fight back his grin at how short she was. How petite she was…
She pulled away quickly, her silver eyes looking at him with a look that he couldn't quit read.
("Is he your husband?" )
Allen smiled softly at him, and Tyki thought it looked forced. Did she ever look at that male Exorcist like that? Or did he get his own special look?
"Your names not really Tyki is it?" She asked, her eyes still unreadable. Tyki truly frowned at this new poker face she was wearing. He couldn't read her…
"No, but Allen is not your real name either is it?" The Third Child answered, hating himself for lying again, and why did he suddenly feel like she could see right through his own poker face. Why did he feel like she could see all his cards?
He was just being paranoid…
("Is he your husband?" )
"No…" She whispered softly, before stepping forward again and this action Tyki knew how to read. He bent down this time and held her at the waist. Her own hand taking a hold of his shirt again as he kissed her this time. Though there was something wrong…
A image of the younger man, that male Exorcist flashed within the Noah of Pleasures mind. The scene of how they had been dancing so closely flashing before his closed eyes. The way that she had smiled at him…
("Is he your husband?")
The innocent question, in Eze's completely innocent voice rang out, and Tyki frowned. Allen pulled away from their second kiss and turned to board the train after flashing him another soft smile. His dark brown eyes narrowing with the realization that she was saying goodbye…
("I wouldn't lie to you darling." )
She was returning to that younger males side, to Liang Lee.
Liang Lee didn't have to lie to be close to her…
His dark brown eyes narrowed from behind his glasses even more and then he was moving forward. Tyki took her by the wrist as she made the first step onto the train. His heart twisting with panic, his mind blank. The words making it passed his lips before he could realize what he was saying…
"Marry me."
Mahahahaahaa *coughes*
Isn't that a fun place to leave it? Please review! : )
