Death of an Angel
Part 2
The white mage had fallen asleep on the chair she had moved next to the bed. Now she woke. It was night and the full moon was high in the sky, illuminating the entire apartment. She stretched and rubbed her eyes. She looked at Kuja, who was still asleep, now with bandages that she had applied. The woman stood up and put on a coat. She looked at his tattered armor and clothing and cringed. She grabbed a pouch full of gil and crept slowly and quietly out the door
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The silver dragon sleeping on the roof woke immediately. It had heard the sound of a door closing. It looked down towards the ground and saw the white mage leaving the building. The silver dragon stretched its elegant wings and dove down to the ground in front of her, it's landing causing a strong wind that almost flung her backwards. It roared loudly and growled at her. She walked slowly to it and tried to quiet it down. "Shhhhhh.please don't wake anyone up. I'm not going to get Kuja killed. please trust me." The silver dragon growled a bit then spread its wings and flew back to its perch on top of the roof. The white mage sighed in relief, walked to the air cab, smiled at the cab operator and told him that she was to go to the business district, and got inside.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kuja bolted up from his sleep. He turned and looked at the window. The moon was full and bright. He put a hand to his chest and noticed the bandages. Was she the one to care for him, and put him to bed? Most likely. After all, he doubted that his silver dragon could fit through the window. Where was she now? Kuja got out of bed and looked around. He saw his armor on a coat rack and cringed. Was he wearing that tattered... thing? He sighed to himself. "Bet she doesn't have any men's clothes..." He checked the coat rack anyway. There was a long black trenchcoat-like jacket. He pulled it off and slipped into it. The door had been left slightly open. The dark mage walked out the door and down the stairs to the building's lower level and entrance. He walked outside and closed the door. The silver dragon opened one eye wearily, saw that it was his master leaving, and went back to sleep. Kuja walked to the air cab and asked the operator about the woman. Luckily, the operator had never seen Kuja in person before. He told him where she was going and Kuja climbed into the air cab.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The white mage sighed to herself. What was she doing? Why? Kuja had killed so many people. She was helping a murderer. Oh screw it. He was a human being and being so he deserved the help. Wait. He wasn't. By now, Zidane had already told everyone of Kuja's origin and why he had killed those people. Of course, he told no one of their relation. That was his secret. The woman sort of felt sorry for Kuja. She had been walking around the business district for some time now, and finally came to a clothing store that was open this late. She was about to walk inside when two arms grabbed her around the waist and pulled her to their body. She would have screamed if one of those arms hadn't moved up and covered her mouth with a hand. She was terrified. The man gripping her waist said quietly into her ear, "Who said you could leave?" She turned her head and looked at him. She saw that it was Kuja and was about ready to punch him. Was his gratitude that poor? Kuja closed his eyes still holding her. " Thank you," he told her politely. She couldn't help but smile.
" I never had the chance to ask your name." " My name is Kakurine. You can call me Rina for short though." " Is that what other people call you?" "No." "Heh." Kuja let go of her. "You can go shopping in the morning. It's too late now and almost all of the stores are closed. They'll be open in the morning." Rina nodded. Then they walked back to the air cab.

Kuja opened the door for Rina and closed it after her, then he laid back onto the bed. Rina sat down in the chair pulled up next to the bed and attempted to fall asleep. Kuja opened one eye and saw Rina with her eyes closed sitting on the chair. He sat up in bed. " You're kidding, right?" Rina opened her eyes and looked at him quizzically. " You can't sleep like that." " Why not?" " Because there's a bed in this room." " Yea, and you're sleeping on it." " So?" " So I'm not." " Why?" " Because you're in it!" " So?" " So! Two people can't just sleep in one bed!" " Sure they can. Watch." He leaned towards her, put an arm around her shoulders, and pulled her into the bed with him. " AHHHH!!" Rina screamed as she was pulled into the bed. Kuja held her to him and laughed. Rina frowned at him. Finally, she gave in and settled herself comfortably next to him on the bed. They both soon fell fast asleep.
