lostmoonchild: Yay! Reviews! Yeah, I'd blame my meds but I took them long enough ago that they're pretty much out of my system until tonight so can't blame them for long. So anyway, I got to thinking about Tyki's Noah side and decided to poke at the crazed creature that he suppressed before Allen stabbed him... and somehow that turned into the Heart thing so I have no idea and humbly apologize for any confusion.

Chapter Twenty Eight
He knew it would be in their best interests to get her to join them as quickly as possible but he knew for certain that there was no time available to win over her trust. Tyki breathed in the soothing smoke as he stared at the teenage girl, silently watching the way her eyes would flash in the dim light. He knew that she was furious but he also knew that she was scared.
Bright red claw marks stood out on her pale throat from where she had tried to get the inhibitor off by herself only to scratch away the skin until blood dribbled down from a few of the scratches. It really was a shame for such beauty to be marred in any way but Tyki wasn't going to complain too much. He had gotten a taste of her before and it was near impossible to forget the flavor.
A frown appeared on Tyki's face when he was given yet another hateful glare through the thin curtain of silver bangs. Was it honestly so hard for women to understand that they were more beautiful when they smiled? "Rape!" Lili screamed when Tyki took a step towards her. "God, help me! He's gonna rape me!"
The man stepped back with shock etched onto his features as he stared at the still screaming woman. Quickly gathering his composure, Tyki summoned a Tease and showed it to her. "Stop screaming or I'll make sure you know the true meaning of pain." Tyki told her.
From how quickly she clenched her legs together and pressed herself against the wall, she remembered the Tease quite well. It really wasn't surprising considering where he had put the Tease upon their first meeting and knew that she was fairly certain he'd do it again. Thankfully he had been counting on her remembering what exactly the Tease did and if she had forgotten then he would have had to remind her. "Good girl." Tyki told her as the Tease fluttered over to the wall and sat quietly. "Do what I say and you won't get hurt. Even Walker will escape without any injuries."
There were no words to fully describe the amount of hate she felt towards the man that stood before her with a smug look upon his face. She was a prisoner and Allen was a hostage that was allowed to walk freely. If she played nicely with the Noah then what would happen? "Go fuck yourself. Neah won't let you kill Allen so easily." Lili told him. "If Allen dies then you'll have to kill me because I swear above God that I'll kill every single one of you bastards and whichever one kills Allen will be the one to die the most painful of deaths."
Her breath caught in her throat as Tyki suddenly grabbed her throat and pulled her to her feet so her toes were barely touching the stone floor. "How we treat you depends entirely on how you behave, little girl." Tyki warned her as his skin began to darken. "You don't want to play with me. You wouldn't survive."
The darkness that was radiating off of him was almost smothering and Lili found herself beginning to panic as she felt his hand entering her chest before his fingers wrapped around her heart. "So fast. Like a bird's." Tyki breathed softly in her ear. "What would he do, I wonder, if I were to tear out your heart and send it to your dear Allen? Would he avenge you?"
He couldn't pretend that he wasn't reveling in the rush that came with literally holding someone's heart in his hand. Tyki also couldn't pretend that he wasn't enjoying feeling the woman's body so close to his that he could feel the soft mounds on her chest rubbing against his chest with every frantic breath she took. "Let go." Lili said weakly as she fought back the dizziness that was beginning to make her world spin. "Let go. I don't feel good."
"Has anybody touched you since we've last met, my dear flower?" Tyki questioned smoothly, his skin darkening even more as the Noah within him began to take control.
Her thoughts went to Kanda and shivered slightly at the memories. Suddenly the pressure in her chest was released as the tightness around her throat tightened. There was an insane look in his eyes that sent waves of terror throughout the woman and as her world faded to black she knew that this was a side she never wanted to be conscious for.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
The pillow smelled like her and it was beginning to infuriate him. He wanted that damnable woman but first they had to figure out how to get her away from the Noah clan without anybody getting killed. If any one of them touched her, especially that Noah with the curly hair, there would be hell to pay and he was going to send each and every one of them straight to Hell himself.
Kanda grumbled as he lie in his bed, trying to ignore his lover's scent still lingering in the pillow she had rested her head on. If they did anything to hurt her… Admit it. You're in love with her and anybody that's noticed your attitude changing for the worse knows it. The voice told him patiently. There's nothing wrong with wanting someone to spend the rest of your life with.
Like hell there wasn't. He didn't need anybody to stick around for him when he was content with being by himself. That's what you keep telling yourself. Think about it. You thought of them when you fought against that Noah that liked those disgusting sweets. You wanted her and you went as far as to make her agree that she's yours. You need them and you're being an ass about it.
Even now he wasn't entirely sure he knew if it was his subconscious or Innocence that was lecturing him. All he knew for certain was that it was damn annoying to have a voice lecturing him about what he should do with his life. Then get off your stupid, dead ass and go tell Allen that you want to help get her back. The voice snapped.
Stupid pushy voices that thought they knew everything. Kanda grumbled softly to himself as he slowly got up only to collapse back onto his bed, his dark eyes staring lifelessly up at the ceiling.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
"Don't be afraid, Yuu."
Kanda spun around as he searched for the source of the tender voice, trying to ignore the warmth that was spreading throughout his body. Why would he be afraid? No, he needed to be on his guard if he was to avoid any attacks. "Who are you?" Kanda demanded.
"I am that which gives your Innocence life."
Immediately Kanda froze, his dark eyes wide in shock. "The Heart." Kanda breathed softly.
"Yes. Do not be afraid, Yuu Kanda. God has not forgotten those that were chosen to bear the burden of His Innocence."
Like hell he was going to believe that. He may not have been scared but he was growing more and more furious as the moments passed. He didn't care if what he was talking to was the Heart; he was going to make sure his exact opinion was known. "That's why this war's gone on for over a century." Kanda stated coolly. "That's why those born with Innocence in their bodies have deformities that get them kicked out of their homes. That's why a girl can't scream or moan. God hasn't forgotten us. He just has a sick sense of humor."
Some small part of him was afraid of what may happen if he angered the Heart but a majority of him didn't care. He was frustrated at all of the stupidity and missions that were issued to them without any regards as to their opinions. He was upset that his existence was against nature and that some scientists had decided to play God and cooked him as well as Alma up in a lab only to decide to attempt to destroy them both.
Most of all, he realized with a start, he was furious that his lover had been taken from him. "Lillian Walker has voiced her displeasure at the very things that angers you as well as the other Exorcists." The Heart told him. "What is not said aloud is always heard by those that know how to listen."
"Then bring her back." Kanda growled.
"We will speak again, Yuu Kanda. Another time."
As the warmth slowly left him, Kanda found himself surrounded by a smothering fog that rose up as if it were a wave before slamming itself down on top of him.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
It was the strangest thing that he had ever seen. Every Exorcist had collapsed without reason at almost the exact same time, each one of them staring lifelessly ahead as if they were deceased. If it weren't for the fact that their vitals were strong, Komui would have been even more worried than what he was now.
He held onto his sister's hand tightly, watching her face for any signs that she was awakening. When was the last time he had been this worried about her? Had it been after she and the others had returned from Japan with the Ark and covered from head to toe in serious injuries? No, he didn't think that time could even compare with what he felt now. "Brother?" Lenalee murmured, her chest rising as she took a large breath. "Brother, where am I?"
Tears began to flow down his face as Komui hugged his sister tightly, ignoring her baffled questions until he finally released her. "You collapsed." Komui told her. "You and the other Exorcists."
Confusion showed on Lenalee's face for a moment before frowning slightly. "I don't remember collapsing. I did have the strangest dream though." Lenalee told him. "You won't believe it, Brother, but I was talking to the Heart."
Komui listened to his sister's recollection of the dream before leaving to check on the other Exorcists. They had all awoken, telling him of the same dream that Lenalee had just told him. Each one of them had spoken to the Heart and it had told them that what displeasure they held had already been voiced by Lili. "It's strange." Allen told Komui with a sheepish grin. "It said that we'd speak again another time."
"Yes, that's what everybody else said." Komui told him. "I wonder if Hevlaska encountered this phenomenon as well. Get some rest, Allen, and you should be up by dinner."
Smiling at the teenage boy's bright smile, Komui left the room and immediately headed towards Hevlaska's chamber wondering just what in the world had happened and what the odds were of this strange phenomenon occurring again were.
lostmoonchild: Okay, am I seriously the only one that could actually see Kanda cocking off to the Heart without really worrying about getting punished? I still haven't decided what's going to happen in terms of the Heart but I am getting close to the end (seriously, I'm chapters ahead from what's been posted) and just got a message today that arrived way before I really needed it so thanks a lot, Sophiaiswatchingyou, I owe you huge for doing such a beautiful job. So go ahead and read and review!
