Chapter 11

Confusion

After Sherry was done resting the entire family climbed into the car and she drove them home. It had been over an hour after the fight with Noru, and Sherry and Fae had taken a small nap. This had helped the blonde greatly while the baby girl slept peacefully.

Brago didn't like cars too much, but he could deal with them. The mamodo was currently holding onto the hybrid child in his arms as his wife drove them home.

He stared down at Fae as she slowly opened her eyes, which were also a deep crimson color. The irises were not small like Brago's, but were large and clear, though they were the same color as his.

Sherry smirked when she glanced over at him as he let the baby grasp his index finger with her small hands. "Having fun?"

"Hn,"

The blonde stopped the car since there was a red light on the road. Taking the chance to tear her attention away from the road, Sherry gave a small laugh as she stared at her husband. "You know, she's already becoming a spitting image of you."

"You think so?"

"Yes I do," said the blonde. "She already has your eyes, the markings on your arms, blue-black hair… she looks just like you." The smile placed on her features grew a little bigger as she watched the two even further. It was always a sight to see during these moments…

Sherry then turned her head to the side and noticed the light just turned green. She drove forward again and continued on.

They drove on until they reached the old mansion. Both Sherry and Brago climbed out of the car and headed over to the building. Brago carried Fae in his arms as the blonde clambered out of the other side of the car.

Then suddenly... both froze, staring wide eyed at the front of the house where someone was standing at the door...

…Nokimo.

"Huh?" Sherry was dumbstruck. She thought that she had seen the last of her a long time ago! What did she want now?

"You…" hissed Brago as he walked up to Sherry and handed her their daughter; "What the hell do you want now?"

"Oh, hi Braggy-poo!" cried Nokimo happily as she saw the dark mamodo. She ran over to him but stopped with a frown when she noticed the blonde. "Oh… it's you." she said with disgust.

Sherry frowned. "What are you doing here?" she asked, but the other ignored her.

Instead of answering her question, Nokimo just turned her green eyes over to Brago and smiled. "Come on Brago, I can tell that Sherry is still weak from that battle earlier," she said. "Why don't you just let her… rest… with that little baby while you go out with me?"

Brago stared at the other mamodo oddly as she said this. "Hold on… how the hell did you know about that battle?"

Nokimo's eyes widened but then grinned. Completely ignoring his question like she had done to Sherry, she just grabbed his arm and laughed.

"Braggy-poo! You know I'm impatient, so let's go!"

She tried to tug on his arm but he slapped it away from her with a look of pure hate. "Don't touch me," he snarled. Brago backed up so he'd be next to his wife and wrapped an arm around her. "Since Sherry was hurt, I'm not going to leave her, I'm going to help her. And there's not a damn thing you can do about it, Nokimo."

Nokimo's eyes narrowed as Brago heard that. "Fine, be with that bitch," she said. "Nothing fun happens anymore… Even with the King becoming sick for some… reason, nothing fun happens. Oh well!"

Brago jerked his head to the side. "What? Zatch Bell is getting sick?"

This only made the other laugh. "Oh, so you now want to talk to me? Too bad. I'm heading home for the day. G?night, my Braggy-waggy-poo!" And with that, she disappeared.

Sherry frowned and muttered a curse under her breath. Brago sighed and shook his head. "Damn thing…" he mumbled.

They were both silent for a bit, until Sherry turned her sapphire eyes up to Brago's crimson ones. "Brago?"

"Hn?"

"What exactly happened between you two?" inquired the blonde. "I know something must have happened… and it's not just that she has a crush on you and followed you around everywhere. What was it?"

The dark mamodo let go of Sherry and began walking up to the house. "Nothing happened!" he said. "Come on, we should get Fae to bed. It's getting late."

"…" Sherry stared back at her husband and then sighed. He still wouldn't tell her… How bad was it? She knew that something must have happened…

…But what?

-o-o-o-o-o-

Sherry rested Fae in her crib and looked down fondly at her. "Good night, Fae." she whispered. With a sigh, she turned around and headed back into hers and Brago's room. When she reached there, she noticed Brago sitting on a chair, thinking to himself.

When she walked into the room, he looked up to see her.

Yawning, Sherry began to walk over to the large bed. "Well… I'm going to sleep now," she said. "Good night."

The mamodo sat up and walked over to the blonde. Quickly he kissed her on the lips for a good night kiss and let her climb under the covers. "Good nigh, Sherry," he responded.

Brago watched as his wife slowly began to drift off to sleep. He sighed and turned his head around to look out the window. Two people he hated more than anything appeared in one day… And what a day it was. Why did they come? And what did Nokimo mean by Zatch becoming sick? He looked just fine earlier…

The dark being shrugged and then turned his head to face Sherry, who was asleep. He'd watch over her… Nobody could take her, or Fae, away from him. Nobody at all…

Deciding that he wanted to sleep that night, Brago climbed into the bed also. After what happened, he wanted to be with Sherry. Hopefully… there'd be no intrusions in the night.

Soon the mamodo's eyes closed and he fells asleep.
