Hi. ;)

So I said I would upload last friday and I had it in document Manager, but I forgot to upload it *facepalm*! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Chapter 12.

"Not fair!" Ares yelled and pointed and accusing finger at Loki. Lucy had just gotten all the details and sat with the document in her hands, reading the same paragraph over and over again.

"It's your fault," Loki reminded him.

"MY FAULT!" he yelled and the same discussion started all over for the fifth time, "SHE sucked all my powers. It's her fault!"

"Huh?" Lucy said annoyed and looked up from the paper, Ares flickered, "let me remind you that you took me out to your friend who got me cursed!"

"W-well, only because you …" he thought about it and made an annoyed moan. Lucy smirked by her victory and Ares made a sulking protest.

"Humans are a boring species…" he sulked, "no wings or anything… fragile little… stupid…" he mumbled and dug his hands deeply into his pockets.

"How long do we have?" Lucy asked and looked at Loki.

"About 20 minuets," he answered with a glare at the clock. Ares looked at Loki like he had just announced dooms-day.

"ARGH!" He exclaimed and ran toward Lucy with a desperate expression, "Concentrate! Let my powers fl-ow back!" he poked her head and demonstrated how the powers flowed from her to him.

"If I could I would have done it already," she said annoyed.

"Are you saying I have to be human from now on?" he said and shook her frantic. She grabbed his hands and made him stop shaking her.

"Relax!" she demanded, but that only made him wander back and forth.

"Do you need a bag to breathe in?" Loki said and lifted an eyebrow.

"Shut up!" he snapped, "I don't want to be human." he gestured to Lucy and she sighed.

"Maybe you should take some air," Loki mumbled and clenched a hand around his shoulder and pulled him toward the door. He gave Loki his usual deadly glare, but he followed his advice and stumbled out of the door.

Loki and Lucy followed him with their eyes and Lucy twisted her eyes in concern.

"Are you sure he should be alone?" she mumbled.

"Yeah, he'll be fine," Loki mumbled, "now let's see if we missed anything," he mumbled and took the document from Lucy's fingers.

Ares took a deep breath and lowered his head. He was suddenly feeling very tired. His legs were weakening under him and he had to sit down outside the Guild.

"Mister! Mister!" a high-pitched voice suddenly yelled. He looked up with drowsy eyes. It was one of the boys from earlier; it was the one with the blue cap.

"Isao?" he guessed. The boy didn't answer he just stuttered heavily, while trying to catch his breath.

"Mister… p-please-" he began and took a deep breathe, "Please help…"

"Sorry kid, I'm not in the best mood, today" he interrupted and scratched his hair.

"B-but… there are these boys," he said panicking and made wild hand-movements, "they have been bothering us the whole week and now…" he had to take another breathe, "they have forced Hiro up on a roof and he… is afraid of heights… please help him."

"Make your mom help him down," Ares murmured and rubbed his tired eyes.

"B-but the boys wants to push him down," Isao continued. Ares sighed.

"Not my problem," he said and let himself fall back onto the ground and closed his eyes. He felt the sun being blocked from under his lids and when he opened them he looked into a pair of huge brown eyes, breaking in tears, "please… you don't understand…"

"Kid-"

"Hiro just got back from the hospital, his spine was hurt…" Isao had started sobbing, "if he falls down from that roof, he might die."

Ares pulled his eyebrows together and looked away.

"I have my own problems, kid," he said quietly. He was afraid of leaving if Lucy and Loki found a way to give him his powers back while he was gone. A few human children weren't worth giving up being a spirit.

The young boy started sobbing.

"You are the only one that can help, mister" Isao begged, "please, please."

"As they say, solve your own problems," Ares said and covered his eyes with an arm. That human child was really pushing it.

"Who says that?" Isao said angrily.

"Hmm, maybe that's mostly me," Ares admitted and smirked.

"You don't care that Hiro die?" Isao said with a childish disbelieving voice. He clenched his fists and starting swaying back and forth in frustration. "Damn it!" he whispered and spun on his heel heading toward the town. His footsteps thundered against the ground and became more and more distant.

Ares removed his hands and looked after him with emotionless eyes. Then he sighed and rubbed his eyes again. He sat up and stretched his arms over his head with a lazy yawn.

"Those humans really pulls the worst out in me," he murmured to himself and slowly rose to his feet.

"It is so specific," Lucy complained and gestured to the document, "it gives us no loopholes of any sort." Loki made a small sigh and kept reading.

"There most be something," he said and his eyes went back and forth the sheet like it was tennis match.

"You should just be happy," Lucy mumbled, "you'll get all his powers."

"Maybe but…" Loki began, but stopped himself, Ares words was still echoing inside his skull; I have wanted to surpass you my whole frikin' life. I pushed myself to the limits… but you were always better than me.

"Loki?" Lucy asked and pulled him out of his thoughts, "how exactly did he give me his powers?"

"When a spirit is hurt they can transfer… your powers by-" he trailed off when an idea popped into his head, "That's it!" he yelled and his eyes expanded in excitement, "I know how we can get Ares powers back in his own body!"

"H-how?" Lucy asked surprised.

"Well… you will not like it," Loki admitted and grinned.

"Let go!" Hiro said helplessly and clung to the huge boys arms. They had forced him up on a roof and held him by the collar, stepping closer and closer to the edge.

"Sure, we'll let go," the boy said with a grin. The others laughed behind him - like a loyal chorus.

"I just had an operation, Kei," Hiro said panicking and dug his fingers into the boy, named Kei's arms when he lifted him a little higher. Kei just smirked and shook him.

"Hiro!" Isao's voice suddenly broke through.

"I-Isa-" he cut himself off when he saw who was with him. His eyes turned huge and a smile spread on his face, "mister?"

"It's Ares," Ares sighed and rolled his eyes.

Whatcha think? ^_^/ Review please. : D
