Chapter Twelve:
~Tyki~
I ran my tongue over my lips, savoring shojo's taste as long as I could as I watched the white-haired girl's retreating form. I felt the dreary presences of about a dozen akuma and it just pissed me off.
Why did the Earl's toys have to show up at this exact moment? I couldn't help but think as I ran my hand through my hair… and just when I had gotten her all to myself too! A haggard sigh tore from my lips as I kicked at the grass growing at my feet.
I could hear the explosion from where I stood, knowing fully well that shojo and her friend were already fighting against the akuma. It was all too tempting to go and see my little exorcist in action but I didn't want to risk that.
Akuma were weary of a Noah's presence and wouldn't hesitate to expose it by either drawing attention to my presence or something like that. I hissed through my teeth just thinking about it and folded my arms.
All I could do was wait until Allen returned; hopefully safe because it wouldn't do to take a liking to an exorcist just to have them die on you. She was after all human.
Luckily I didn't have to wait long before the distant sounds of fighting were gone and the air was unsettlingly still.
I descended the slope and surveyed the once bustling festival. Several stalls were smashed and food carts were tipped over. Popcorn scattered across the ground and crunched under my foot.
It didn't take me long to find shojo and her friend gazing around them to see if there were anymore akuma about. Not like there were any left, I for one could sense that.
'Shojo!' I called out to her as her head whipped around to look at me.
'What are you doing here Tyki? It could be dangerous,' her voice was laced with worry and I did all I could to avoid chuckling at her.
'Really? You mean those explosions I heard before?' I was playing dumb despite knowing what the chaos was. Allen just nodded her head slowly but a smile soon reached her lips.
'But I'm glad you're okay, Tyki,'
'Of course,' I purposefully tasseled her white hair. Short yet soft and silky, it felt rather pleasant against my hand. She, on the other hand didn't really enjoy it as she shoved my hand away.
'Stop that!' She said quickly as she went about fixing her hair with her cheeks blooming a lovely red. Her friend, whom I forgot was still hanging about just giggled at her friend.
'I suppose I should get going,' I growled realizing I should head back before the Earl personally called.
'You're leaving already?' Allen asked as I eyed her curiously.
'What? Do you want me to stay?' I had her stumped there as she began stammering profusely. Her face was reddening once again before he chuckled.
'I'm just kidding shojo I have to go anyway, can't leave the guys waiting can I?' Her eyes quickly turned to anger at the fact that I was playing with her.
'That wasn't funny Tyki!' She shouted punching me with her arm. I had to consciously remind myself not to use my ability, hence she suspect something was up.
'Ow~ that wasn't needed shojo,' Allen pouted and folded her arms across her chest her face tinged pink.
'I certainly think so,'
'There's no need to be harsh Allen,' her friend chipped in but shojo just glared at her.
'Who asked for your opinion? Fine… I had a nice time so thank you,' the white exorcist glanced at the ground; her eyes wavered yet her expression remained mild.
'Anytime shojo,' I replied as I turned on my foot and gave a small wave before leaving them amongst the broken stalls.
