~*~Purely Sadistic~*~
^Chapter Ten^
"The Earl wants to see you,"
Tyki looked nervously around. Road never looked as upset as she did now. Did he do something wrong? Did he not do his mission as he was supposed to? Confusion lit his face, although Road didn't offer anything to ease his mind, nor did he ask.
The two Noah wound their way out of the market place. Their foot-steps brought them through winding stone streets and twisting alley-ways. All the while, Tyki's mind was at a constant point of unrest. If the Earl wanted him, he would normally just fetch the Noah himself. But the presence of Road's eerie silence frightened him. He'd never actually seen the girl so down except when Skin Boric died from the samurai's sword.
His nervousness multiplied when Tyki realized that he was in a part of the city that he didn't even know, even though his nightly prowling of the city gave him an extensive knowledge. Road's heart-shaped door appeared in front of then at the back of the alley. "Let's go…" said the younger Noah. Her hand slightly shook as she opened the door, and Tyki stepped through.
Lavi stretched and yawned widely as he let the afternoon sun warm his face. The snow was melting quickly and Lavi's boots sent up a spray of slush with every step. It was good to be out of the dust of the Archives, though he was slightly saddened by the fact that this was the last day that he would be able to sink himself in knowledge.
He rubbed his finger tips into his temples and got out a couple of sneezes and shook any remaining dust out of his hair. Lavi felt that he desperately needed a shower, but his chaperone duties kept him from being able to. Sure, Lenalee might be able to handle the other to male exorcists, but not if they got…Never mind, Lavi thought, shaking his head rougher. He didn't want to think about it.
His boots clomped clumsily in Saint Peters Square as he stretched his legs. The square itself was uncharacteristically tourist-free, and Lavi enjoyed the silence after so many days of Allen and Kanda's constant bickering and Lenalee's persistent nagging. There was so much a person could take while being in a cramped space collecting dust whilst everyone else grumbled. Lavi stretched again, the pressing silence of the Vatican City broken only by the bells tolling the hour.
Tyki was perched uncomfortable on a plush lounge seat, waiting for his sentence. He didn't really accept the portly Earl's eyes to be everywhere, particularly his room.
It turns out that Tyki's lack of progress in Rome was starting to annoy the cheery Noah, so he had some akuma scour the city to see if they could find something that Tyki over looked. He was especially annoyed with the Pleasure's escapade in Georgia, when right under his nose the exorcist stormed the only fully akuma city outside of Japan and killed every single one of them. Tyki got off light with that one, but when one of the akuma tailing him had just so happened to peek in between a gap in the curtains of his house…well. Some things just put the ever-smiling Earl over the precarious edge of patience, and cavorting with an exorcist was one of them.
Tyki felt like he was punched in the gut when he listened as the Earl grinned wider before and told him that he knew just what he had done with Lavi. And now he was waiting for whatever punishment the Earl was probably going to dish out. Not that he cared about the stupid little red-headed slut, but he just didn't want to get hurt because of it.
The Millennium Earl walked through the slightly too small door to the black circular chamber that Tyki was currently sitting in. He felt bored as he draped himself across the black leather couch and stared at the lopsided black-and-white drawings on the walls. The Earl sat across from Tyki in the square arrangement of furniture. He huffed slightly and a pregnant-pause ensued. Finally, "So..." said the Earl, "Road demands that I hear your side of the story before punishing you… I suppose it would be fine…after all, it's not like you LOVE the exorcist. Although you have showed an interest in that scum before in Georgia when you kissed the female," and Tyki shifted into a more comfortable position.
The Pleasure Noah remembered the stupid stunt in Georgia, when the exorcist girl had tried to give herself for her friend. He knew he should have killed her, instead of sending her on her merry way with a message to Lavi that he apparently disregarded. It's not like it was his fault that he just so happened to stumble upon the red-head in Saint Petersburg. Besides, he was hurt that Lavi would just leave him without so much as a single goodbye, note, or even the tingling sensation of a lingering kiss. Now, he was out for blood, and that was just fine with him, but all he told the Earl was:
"It's so fun breaking exorcists,"
