Chapter 28
Aya had everyone up and ready early in the morning, including Silver, who had bitched the entire time. He didn't want to waste another second. He wanted to get into that other damned world and see his sister. He'd needed to sleep here to at least have his brain working when he saw her. Devi had called in a friend who could turn back time in specific places, the woman had turned back the time on the roof so that it didn't have holes and scratches all through it from him. Of course that mean that all of the repairs he had done on the lights and stuff was put back, as well, but oh well.
Aya had been startled, to say the least, when he'd looked up and seen that. He'd been expecting the brat to run off without ever fixing it.
"We're ready," Rem assured them.
"Just make sure you all don't do any screaming when we go in, because some people are still trying to sleep," Devi pointed out.
"Why would we scream? Is something wrong?" Ken asked, looking at Silver.
"He means in general. If you stub your toe and you scream, then you're going to be butting heads with someone, because its four in the fucking morning." Silver growled at him.
"First, this fucking guy here makes us think we've been fighting all night long or something with that 'time to open the shop' shit, and now he's waking us up at this ungodly hour!" Rem griped before yawning.
"He does have a point. Why couldn't it wait for a few more hours?" Ken pouted, rubbing at eyes that were still tired.
"Because, it just can't!" Aya hissed. He had to see his sister now! He'd been so worried about her, and so excited to see her awake!
"We're going and that's that. No sense in arguing about it," Yohji said, clearly humouring him. Yohji had been just as reluctant to leave the sheets as the rest of them had been, maybe even a little bit more.
Devi cut the portal and they all walked through it, one at a time, filling up the hallway outside the room where Aya-Chan was supposed to be waiting. He didn't want to go right in, for fear that she might be getting dressed or something.
He knocked lightly on the door and immediately felt the burn against his knuckles. He should've known that one of the faeries would put a ward on the door each night to make sure that they had no unwanted guests.
Aya watched the door open bit by bit, revealing the room where Aya-Chan lay on the bed just like he had left her…no, wait, not exactly like that, she was on her side this time, and clearly sleeping.
"Should we wake her?" the tall dark haired faerie asked, looking worn out.
"No, let her sleep, we will go somewhere until she's up," Aya assured. He didn't want anything to disturb his sister. Yes, he wanted to run in and wake her, but he also didn't want to make her overtired.
"We could always go downstairs and get some food, or you all can go back to bed. We have rooms here where you can sleep, and the faeries will follow your energy signatures to your room to wake you when she is up," Silver offered. There weren't really any other options. She sure as hell wasn't going to drive around showing them the sites at this time of morning.
"I'm not going to be able to sleep," Aya admitted. He was too anxious, he couldn't even fathom sleep right now.
"Can we still sleep?" Ken asked, wrapping an arm around Omi's shoulders.
"Rem, could you take them down the hall to get a room. I'll start up the kitchen." Silver smiled, patting him on the arm.
"Sure thing."
