Chapter 6

I walked away, my heart aching with every step I took. My words, they were so cruel. I charged into battle. This little talk wouldn't let me fail chaos. I'm here to protect him, and I will do so. I charged ahead into battle. chaos was just dodging and attacking and being overpowered by Albedo. I jumped ahead of chaos and summoned all the magic I could and said, "Ki'migyu ne al'in'balni."

A bright colored magic beam shot from my hand and I was shot back a little from the aftershock. I spilt Albedo's aura ball in half my magic and it continued, heading straight for him. He dodged it AGAIN. Jeez, stop moving so fast.

"Ma petite," he said smirking. "Are you done with that drama you had done over there? Have you accepted being a monster, like I have?"

I shot quick balls of lighting magic at him. Every single one hit Albedo. Albedo fought back. His hand flick towards me and I was suddenly feeling like I was being electrocuted, and I think I was. It ended quickly; I figured Albedo liked to torture his victims first. But that was bad on his account.

I felt chaos hold my hand and he nodded at me. I nodded also. He wanted me to fuse my magic with his aura. I stood ahead, one of my magic circles forming ahead of me and aiming at Albedo. He was standing still, I bet he wanted to see how much this one hurt. I summoned up all my magic and felt it all crowd in the center of my hand. I felt my backup power flow through, and I knew what that meant. My angelic wings, they appeared, large and elegant. chaos stood behind me, nestled by my left wing.

"Nemar'a'ge," I whispered, having a new magic in my list, and I felt my magic form into a large beam, which was shot at Albedo at light speed, but I noticed, that a large amount of aura was spiraling with my beam. I heard him scream in pain and then I blacked out.

I awoke to see chaos watching over me. I got up quickly, bumping both of our heads. I rubbed mine in pain, and he was doing the same. "chaos, your head is like a rock," I said, moaning softly in pain.

"No, that's your head," chaos replied, still rubbing his head. I giggled happily, but it hit me.

"Onii-chan!" I cried out, worried. "And what about Albedo? And everything else?"

I felt his face warm against mine and he said, "Smile!"

I did and saw a flash, he took a picture of the two of us, cheek to cheek. I blushed when he brought out digital camera. "chaos, give me a warning first. I mean, I'm not even picture-worthy yet…"

He chuckled. It was calm and gentle. Now that I think about it, everything he did was soft and gentle. "Don't worry, Sumina," he said. "Albedo isn't dead, but he was blown into many pieces and I shot them out into space. We'll be fine. As for Fayte, go look for yourself."

Fayte walked into the doorway of my room with Ta looking over at me. Her face was red, maybe she was laughing at me, or Fayte, or someone. I noticed the blotchiness of her face, maybe she was laughing so hard she cried?

Fayte looked down shamefully. Before he could say anything, I leaped out of bed and pulled his face down to my level, like chaos had done before. I let go and stepped back, examining him. "Are you hurt anywhere?" I asked worried. "Maybe you have a sore or something! You know, maybe you are internally! Oh man, how am I gonna cure that, I mean—"

"I'm fine, Sumina," he replied, not looking straight into my eyes. "And… I'm sorry about before."

"It's alright, I wouldn't have called out Onii-chan when I woke up if I didn't care about you anymore," I replied, smiling happily. I bowed. "I do apologize for doing something so gory, maybe that's what got you off. Albedo was truly an enemy we all may not be able to beat."

"Sumina!" Ta wailed, shaking me. "I didn't know you'd have to go through THIS much trouble! I thought you just were going to fight some thugs and stuff! Not this Albedo guy!"

"Are you…jealous?" I asked, hearing that tint of jealousy in her voice. "Or are you sorry, Ta?"

"I'M BOTH!" Ta exclaimed, waving her arms. "That Albedo guy sounds so totally hot! I mean, he's got rock hard abs, right?"

I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment and looked back to chaos. He shrugged and I grinned. "Yeah, Ta. He sure is one hot stud."

We all laughed, except for Ta, who was fuming. She turned away. "Fine, then, next time when I meet someone like chaos, I'll take the job for myself and meet someone you think is hot, but I think he's not."

Her face brightened. "Oh my gosh! It rhymed!"

I sweatdropped, Ta can be so weird sometimes. I felt arms close around me, they were Onii-chan's. "I am so sorry, Sumina," he whispered in my ear. I rubbed his cheek against mine. Onii-chan's cheeks were always so silky smooth.

"No problem, Onii-chan!" I said, after he let go of me in shock and embarrassment. His face was always so red whenever I did stuff like that. I don't see why he has such a problem and chaos didn't. I looked back to chaos. "You're not going to leave… are you?"

"I can't yet," he replied. "I have to wait for Shion and the rest of our group to find me because I have no way of finding or communicating with them myself."

"I can take you there! Just tell me where and I can get you there like that!" I said, snapping.

"How about the farthest reaches of space on a small planet we call Second Miltia?" chaos asked. I figured he was being sarcastic. I looked at him confused.

"I guess not then," I replied. I shook my head. "I guess… we should stay here then."

"Yeah, yeah!" Ta said. "Sleepover!"

She paused for a moment. "Why here?"

"I put a complete detection spell on this apartment room," I explained. "Well, I'm not sure to call it that, but… no one out of this room can sense our presence as long as we're here. It took me all day, but I'm pretty glad I did put it up. Albedo shouldn't be able to see us."

"Why did he call you 'ma petite'?" Fayte asked. "Doesn't that mean something like… 'my girl' or something?"

"It means, my little girl… err, in a friendly way, I think… I dunno," I replied.

"Wait."

I looked at chaos. "What's wrong?"

"The gnosis, they were able to come in here because they sensed me," he replied. "Well, they can't sense, but they attack whoever they were told to. So, how did they find me?"

"I don't know. I put it for any human for sure, and maybe a few beings with evil in them. I guess it's because that I've never heard of these gnosis before," I replied. I gasped. "Aww, fudge."

"Right."

"Albedo can find us," I replied, sitting back down on my bed. "If he can use the gnosis…"

"He will find us," chaos finished.

"Wait! Who's this Albedo guy?" Ta asked. "I understand he's after you chaos, but why is he looking for you? Did you steal something from him?"

"No, that's not it," he replied. "There's a data that, if the wrong person read it, the whole universe would collapse. It's called the Y Data and…"

He placed his hand on my shoulder and his eyebrows lowered. "I put it inside her."

Author's Note: NO! Poor Na-chan (Sumina)! The Y Data! Err... I'll eventually post all of the translations under Sumina's thread... but that's eventually... ummm... yeah. Sorry about that. This story is a real drama, which is weird because too much drama makes me... well... dizzy. Oh well, until the next chapter!
