Such With Warmth
Part Two
Disclaimer: I don't own anything but Tanis. Angel is my friends' character
"It hurts like shit." Crawford stood in the doorway in his usual custard suit. Everyone except Tanis shot out of their seats, expecting him to make a move. Crawford kept his eyes on Tanis and leaned against the doorframe.
"What are you doing here, Crawford?" Tanis slowly stood up, her eyes never breaking contact from his.
"How many times mist I tell you, call me Brad. And I'm here for you, Tanis."
"If you think you can take her from me, lets see you try." Aya had quietly sneaked off to fetch his sword and was coming back into the room.
"Aya…how nice to see you. I must thank you for killing me. It saved me the hassle."
"I should have known you'd come back."
"But that means…" Omi squeaked as he turned a pale shade of green.
"Yes, Farfie is back as well. But he still needs to kill Angel." Omi could hear Angel gulp beside him. Crawford held out his hand.
"Shall we, my love?" Aya was moving to slice his hand off, but stopped as Tanis actually took it. The look she gave Aya was both apologetic and pleading.
"Tanis, don't do this. We can fight them." Tanis smiled weakly and just shook her head. Crawford led her out the door. The beast, clad in leather, came in, his good amber eye locked on Angel. He wrapped his arm around her waist and hoisted her up to his shoulder. He small fists were hitting his back as he walked out.
"Put me down, Farferello." He just ignored her and kept walking. When all four were gone, Aya's sword clattered to the floor. He dropped down to his knees and just stared at the door. Yohji and Ken were trying to comfort Omi, who was crying. Aya wasn't going to cry. His rage was growing. He couldn't lose Tanis, not again. Not ever. He didn't want to wait, but he knew he'd need the others for help. He'd have to wait till they were all ready.

"Are you not happy to see me, Tanis?" Crawford had stopped the car in an ally and was watching her intently.
"Why should I be? You killed me, remember?"
"If you're not happy to see me then why did you take my hand?" Tanis didn't look at him, but seemed to be intrigued by the dashboard.
"I didn't want to see any bloodshed."
"Tanis…" He moved closer to her, pushing her into the locked door. "Don't you love me?" She finally turned to look at him and caught her breath. 'He's so close.'
"I…" She didn't get any further as his lips over took hers, seeking passion hungrily. When he finally broke the kiss, Tanis couldn't remember what he had asked her.
"What was the question again?" Crawford was happy to see her shocked from the kiss without the magic of the prophecy in use.
"Do you love me?"
"I don't know." He slid back to the other side of the car and started the engine.
"Let's get back Farferello should be getting Angel ready by now."
