29. Still nothing
Kamui awoke as he heard someone enter the headquarter, he didn´t want to got out of the bed, but he also didn´t want to miss this chance to tease his brother. He got up and got dressed. Before he left the room he took a glance at the naked beauty that was still sleeping in his bed. He smiled as he heard that Depore was mumbling in her sleep, she must be dreaming.
Xeronos was trying to sneak into the headquarter, he knew that Kamui was a long sleeper, and so he hoped he was still asleep. If Kamui would knew what happend between himself and Ahri last night, the teasing would be unbearable. But a "Good morning" shattered his hopes of getting home without meeting Kamui. "Morning" was the only answer. "Tell me Xeronos, where were you last night? It is uncommon that you don´t return home." "Ah..yeah..i was hunting, and it was a long way home, so i slept in the forest." "A long way? For someone like you, that has had to be a fast prey, wasn´t it?" "Yeah, pretty fast, you know?" "Actually i know not, explain it to me, how a single pray could drive the mighty Pridestalker away from home,wait i don´t see it, did you already eat it? And the most interesting fact i notice is that you don´t have a trophy of this worthy prey." Kamui explained smirking. Xeronos sighed "You already know, do you?" "I don´t know what you are talking about. Oh wait, i might know what you are thinking, but tell me nonetheless, i want to hear it" Kamui´s smirk grew even wider. "Ah would you shut up already." "Oh, are you shy, like a little boy. Most men would have died to get the chance to hold Ahri in her arms, and you are all shy about it, how unbearable cute." But then Kamui stop smirking and looked kind of sad. Xeronos noticed this change in his expression. "But now seriously, how is she doing?" "Fine. Of course she was mad for what we did to her. Of course, i mean we invaded her privacy. Then i explained to her what we know and why we did this to her, and i think she understand. And don´t worry, i asked her not to talk about what i told her, you don´t want to risk a panic, am i right?" Kamui nodded and Xeronos continued "Well, after that i thought it would be cruel to leave her alone so i kept her compony. We talked a bit and then.." "both of you were sleeping happily next to each other?" Kamui interrupted him smirking. "I told you to shut up." Then Xeronos went angrily into his room, Kamui wouldn´t stop teasing him. With a loud bang he closed his door and froze it over, making sure that Kamui wouldn´t enter his room. Kamui was relieved, Ahri was alright and she would keep quiet, Xeronos did well. "What´s with the noise, master?" Depore asked as she came into the hall, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. "Nothing, it´s alright. Say, did i ever tell you how cute you are when you are sleeping, my sleeping beauty." Kamui said as he softly pushed Depore back into his room to continue were they stopped last night.
It was night in Valoran. Kamui was at the river again. With the guidence of the moon to further increase his unhuman abilites he scanned the area again. Xeronos wasn´t here, so Haishel, Depore and Ren were outside to keep the area secure, they knew how paranoid her master was. Even in the moonlight he couldn´t find anything to help him find the answers he seeked. "Still nothing?" Haishel asked. "No, nothing new, but i know i am overlooking something, a piece of the puzzel is right here, but i can´t find it." "What make you so sure master?" Ren asked. "Did you already forget, i am an oracle. My clearvoyance abilites are limited, but i know that i miss something." "But what could that be, master? This is the second time we are searching here, but even with the moonlight you couldn´t find anything." Depore explained. "You are persistent as a snake. Why don´t we just wait? If this thing is alone, then we take care of it as soon as it shows itself, and if it is an army, than we slice every single one of them apart! Or do you have any great ideas?" Haishel said. "She is right boy, there isn´t much we can do right now, so the only thing we can do is wait." Dante said. "Reconnaissance options depleted." Morpheus added. "Give it a rest partner. Time will tell what exactly happend here." Delf said. Seeing that they were right Kamui sighed. To secure the safety of those dear to him he always tried to find the answer before the question was even asked, but right now, he couldn´t do anything anymore. Haishel, Depore and Ren returned into Delf´s edge, and Kamui began returning home.
It was the next day inside the Institue of War. Kayle was walking to another match. This was her 3rd match today, tonight she would be dead tired, she was sure. Dead tired, she tought. What was Yorick doing right now she wondered. How was he doing, would he really be alright. It was a long time since she heard anything from him, but someone brought her out of her thoughts. "I wish you good look, Kayle." A almost sinister voice spoke to her. Kayle turned around surprised. In front of her was really the Gravedigger. "Yorick? What are you doing here? I thougt you would be on the Shadow Isles for a month?" "I told you that my body wouldn´t need that much time to heal. I am here to return to duty." "But are you really alright?" "I am not like the living, living bodies are so fragile. But you should worry about yourself, you next match will not be easy. Break your leg, isn´t that what livings say to each other?" "Yeah they do, thank you." "What a strange custom among the living." Kayle smiled. Her friend was alright and returned, so now she wouldn´t be so lonesome anymore. She couldn´t wait to spend again some time with him, but first she had to win the match, and she was determined to win.
After she left, Yorick smiled to himself. He knew that she was happy to see him again. Even her helmet couldn´t hide that she was relieved to see that he was alright again. Sometimes all it take was the right person to help another. Even an undead like himself could help the angel.
