[Coliseum]
The three reached the coliseum after an hour of resting. Once the got there though, Akuma were everywhere. "Stay here. Both of you." Kanda ordered. Aura and Pedro just nodded as Kanda called out Mugen to sheath and effortlessly destroyed all the Akuma after a few minutes. "Let's go Pedro." Aura said as she walked towards Kanda. Of coarse Pedro followed, but sparred glances to all the Akuma carcasses.
The three then began to walk towards the Coliseum. "Do you think that maybe the Swordsman might be an accommodater?" Aura asked. Kanda didn't answer, earning him a sigh from the female exorcist. They walked into the entrance and Aura seemed to become stiff as she kept close to either one of the males around her. She looked around like a cat sensing danger yet they were walking down a hallway. As they reached the end she seemed her usual emotionless self. Kanda internally sighed for her bipolar sudden personality changing crap was getting very tiresome and he was just longing for the mission to be over and done with to get rid of this woman then ask Komui about what had happened on the train to see if he had a clue because for sure as hell Kanda didn't have a fucking clue. And that fact alone pissed the hell out of Kanda. He didn't get her at all! She could be completely unreadable at times or she could be slightly more readable but nothing else. She could be rude as hell in the most polite way possible in speaking terms or just plain out polite. She hide her emotions or could show even the littlest bit. He just wished she would chose one instead of changing every few times!
He heard her chuckle slightly. Is she a fucking mind reader now?! She just scoffed then walked ahead of him. An irk mark appeared on his cheek as he tried to calm down. They walked out and appeared on the stands. "This place smells like Akuma oil." Aura muttered as she looked around. She jumped down to the middle of the coliseum and stood up slowly from her crouch position. She looked around and saw nothing aside from the large gashes in the floor which seemed to be made by something that wasn't done by weathering. "Who goes there!" She shouted as she turned away from her teammates and to the other side of the arena. A very build man came from the shadows holding a rather large sword ((S/N Me and my cousin Apache think he's a total Zabuza wanna-be)) and very mangled hair. "Are you Vitorio?" She asked. "I am. But I do not fight women. Now leave." He said. No one was able to see the exact colors around them but they could tell the outlines of bodies and other objects but the light hues of the colors did show ever so slightly. Soon Kanda jumped down beside her with his Mugen unsheathed. "I shall fight that man." He said pointing his large sword at kanda.
"I'll gladly take that challenge." Kanda replied. The clouds moved from the moon and let the beautiful moonlight shine down. It's beautiful light lit up everything around everyone. That's why Vitorio finally took a good look at Aura. Her light skin illuminated by the moonlight, her eyes sparkled like stars, her hair shined lightly, and to just be blunt about this, she looked just angelic. Well, with the look in her eyes she looked like a dark fallen angel. The way she held herself. So proud yet seemed so broken inside. A memory struck in his mind. Through his eyes Aura's black expression turned to one of pure kindness and her cold eyes now a warm honey gold. Wearing the attire a female servant would wear in the royal family back in his time. His eyes widened as he mumbled the name, "Titania."
She felt his gaze and stepped back, "Don't die Kanda." She stated as she turned away and began to walk only to have Vitorio yell at her, "Titania!" She knew he was talking to her but that wasn't her name. She wondered why he was calling her that so she turned around and replied coldly, "My name is not Titania. It is Aura Mist." and with a scoff and a flip of her bangs she turned on her heel and got a running start before jumping in the air then gracefully landing by Pedro. Kanda stood at one end with Vitorio at the other. "Do you think Master Kanda will be able to defeat Vitorio?" Pedro asked. She looked at him then Kanda, "To be honest, not while Vitorio has his sword." When she said that the sound of lightning shook the coliseum slightly. It began to rain. "This will be long..." She stated as the rain hit her and soon she was drenched in water.
[Cottage]
-Two day's later-
Aura carried Kanda on her back, despite being a woman she was abnormally strong to an extent. Pedro was asking the old woman who lived in the cottage if they could rest their for some time because of Kanda's weak state. Aura sighed and looked at the moon. "Miss Aura!" Pedro signaled her to bring Kanda inside so she did. The old woman escorted her to a room and she let down Kanda on the Bed. "Thank you." Aura said as she removed Kanda's jacket and boots and let down his hair, covering him up with a blanket. "He really needs some rest." Aura said lightly as she and the old woman walked out of the room. "No problem sweetheart. Oh, I'm sorry to ask you this so suddenly but to treat your friends wounds would you mind going into the city really quick and get me some herbs? Just tell them at Yolie's Medicines for Herbal and they'll give you what I need." The old woman said. Aura didn't see anything wrong with that so she nodded at the request. "Alright." She said.
"Thanks deary." The old woman said. Aura gave her a curt nod and walked out the door. She walked out into the slightly cold night and towards the city, "I need some rest as well..." She mumbled.
The night was brightly dusted with the beautiful moonlight shinning down and illuminating the beautiful village. The peaceful tranquil silence that usually bothered her at times now was a virtue to her. She closed her beautiful cold eyes to further enjoy the silence in darkness that usually she feared. But the silence was interrupted by a humming similar to a hummingbirds. It was now the only thing going in her ears. "I can sense your longing..." said a soft comforting male voice mixed with one that was dark and sadistic laced in the humming with a light echo. "Quiet Hachidori..." she snapped at her innocence. And as suddenly as it came the humming stopped and disappeared as if it was never there to begin with. Hachidori was her innocence's name and it's meaning from the Japanese word to English was Hummingbird.
She finally arrived in town and saw life was still up and about the streets. People ranging from cute couples of variant ages to happy middle class families. Her longing gaze from when she first arrived returned to her eyes as she glanced at all their smiling faces. She knew she stood out. She knew she was just an outsider. They were in their world, oblivious to the true horrors of this world while she's in her own that knows how cruel and despicable world can be. She shook her head, "I can't be thinking about anything other than getting those herbs for the elderly woman and getting back." She mumbled as Ikki her golem shot from her pocket and was now hovering around her. "Were you there the whole time?" She asked ikki. It seemed to nod and then propped itself upon her head. She let out a sigh, "Just be sure not to get eaten while out Ikki..." she stated as she looked up at the golem slightly.
She reached "Yolie's Medicine" and stepped inside. "Hello?" She asked. "Please wait a moment." Aura heard the faint female call back to her from behind the store. It was pretty standard for a town like that. Shelves stocked with medicine from all over. From North America to Asia. A counter was ahead and a door behind it leading to the back room. Soon a young woman, maybe in her late 20's, with dark brown curly hair that reached down in waves at her waist, big hazel eyes, lightly tanned skin, and wearing a dark brown sun dress. "Hello, you're not from here are you?" Aura shook her head. "Well welcome newcomer. My name is Yolie. How may I help you?" The woman Yolie stated kindly and politely. "I'm here for some herbs." Aura said. "Is it for that old woman?" Yolie asked as she glanced at the cross on Aura's chest. "Yes." She stated curtly. Yolie let out a small sigh, "My, my...my mother is going to get hurt if she continues to support the Black Order." Yolie mumbled as she crouched down and open a cabinet under the counter and pulled out a small box then stood straight and set it on the counter.
"Tell her she's not charged." Yolie said as she handed it to Aura. Aura seemed surprised at first but brushed it off and nodded. "I will." She replied lightly as she turned on her heel and left. As she stepped out of the store she began towards the cottage for kanda. She began to hum a song that would fill anyone with a melancholy feeling. Out of nowhere a pair of grayish tan looking hands covered her eyes and mouth making her drop her things. Ikki squeezed out from her pockets and took a look at the scene as Aura was knocked out by the threat and picked up bridal style away. Ikki looked as if it was panicking as it flew away at amazing speed towards the cottage.
[Back at Cottage]
"It's been two hours... she should've been here a while ago..." The old woman said. "I'll contact her through the golem now." Pedro said as he started to contact her. It rang but nothing but static came through. "That's weird.." He mumbled. All of a sudden a startled and fearful banging came on the door. When Pedro opened it he didn't expect a peculiar golem to fly by inside. The two people stared at the ice blue colored golem in awe and surprise, "Aren't you Miss Mist's golem?" Pedro asked. Ikki seemed to nod and land on the table opening it mouth, much like timcampy's, and a hologram of Aura earlier when she was attacked by a man. Although it was took dark to see who but it was visible enough to know that it indeed was male and very built. "Who the hell is that?" Pedro asked himself.
