Human Wille
Chapter 4: The Song's Call
Shion sat at the docking bay's seating, awaiting the Elsa's arrival. Her long, brown hair was to her mid back and her kind, green eyes surveyed the area with bland interest. She had heard from Gaigun that Jr. might be planning something that could endanger everyone.
She flinched when she heard footsteps behind her, and she twisted on the seat to look behind her to see Jr. in a white, long sleeved top with a black, knee length coat. He also wore black pants and boots. His red hair was the same as ever and his blue eyes seemed troubled. His expression looked grave, but quickly changed to surprise when he saw the woman smiling at him.
"What are you doing here?" He asked suspiciously. Shion smiled even against his harsh tone and she got up to walk over to him. He stopped a few feet from her and she brushed some hair from her face.
"I got a tip off from Nigredo so you won't go off to some far off sector of space and make us all worry."
Jr. looked surprised once more but his determined eyes told Shion she'd have to push even harder to get the U.R.T.V to cooperate.
"He's worried, like everyone else is. So that's why I had a great idea. I'll go with you and try and stop you from doing anything dumb. I won't stop you from going like everyone else, and I'm sure Nigredo would be angry with me. Even your fiancée to be will be too." Shion said, and then her eyes widened at the slip.
"Fiancee.. to be?" He asked, and then his own blue eyes widened as the words dawned on him.
"She wants to marry me?" He whispered, a total look of happiness on his face.
"Well, I actually wasn't supposed to say anything… But, yes she does. Mireill really loves you and wants to be happy with you for as long as she can. But, on a more sour note. I wasn't being truthful last time we all spoke. I-I hear it too." Shion said, her eyes conveying her sadness as her last words came out.
Jr. gulped and said, "You've always been a weird one, Shion. I guess this shouldn't be much of a surprise to me but it is. How long have you heard it?"
"About 3 weeks." She replied, and Jr. cringed.
He then walked towards her and then past her. He stood a few feet from the Elsa which had docked when they spoke.
"We'll be chartering a flight other than this baby soon." He said, gesturing towards the ship.
"I don't want Nigredo following me or anyone having info on what I'm up to. Thanks, for coming along Shion." He said, and then boarded the ship quietly.
Shion stood shocked for a few moments and then turned to stare at the ship.
"I hope I know what I'm doing. With Nephillim coming back in my mind, and without KOS-MOS, I think this will be a tiring adventure." She said and then boarded the ship.
