Ch. 5: So I just heard that we can't write in script format so I might change it up the next chapter :/ hope you guys enjoy.
Kanda felt a nudge on his shoulders, as his eyes began to open slowly he saw that the train had already arrived in Spain. Kanda had been knocked out for a good four hours.
Kanda: (drowsy) What happened to me? What did you do to me?
Aurora: I saved you from your drunkenness and your hangover. C'mon, the faster we start the faster we can get this over with, right?
Kanda rolled his eyes, he was surprised how well he had slept. His body felt completely recharged.
Kanda: What did you do to me back at the train?
Aurora: You're still worried about that? Trust me, I just gave you some well-needed rest.
Kanda: It's hard to trust a girl who has a lot of powers she likes to keep secret.
Aurora: I like to be a little mysterious y'know? Don't guys like you like that?
Kanda kept quiet, not knowing what to say. He crossed him arms in a peeved off manner.
Aurora: I can control what you see.
Kanda: huh?
Aurora: You asked what else I could do. I can control what people see.
Kanda: Is that how you were able to blind me back when you first came to the order?
Aurora nodded quietly, as if a little girl getting a scolding.
Aurora: Watch this.
Aurora covered Kanda's eyes with her palm and changed Kanda's vision so that he would see Allen's face instead of her own. As she lifted her hands, Kanda face was indifferent. A different expression than Aurora expected.
Kanda: It's not funny. I hate that bean sprout kid.
Aurora: You're no fun. (transforms back into real face)
Kanda: wait, so how do I know this face is real?
Aurora: You don't. Who knows, I could be a guy for all we know.
Kanda had an awkward look on his face.
Aurora: I just create illusions in the mind, I don't physically change anything. Thus, if I were to tap into your mind to change your mental image of me it'd be extremely hard to keep it up for so long. And plus, I don't think I could've fooled everyone back at the Order, that's just too much work.
Aurora felt a strange comfort around Kanda. Although he seemed a bit cold and arrogant there was a nice human quality about him. He had real human emotions and human flaws. Aurora really wanted to know what made Kanda tick but she knew she could get no where near his lips to figure it out.
BAM!
Kanda pushed Aurora out of the way as a bunch of level 1 akuma's came shooting from the sky. Kanda pulled out his sword but before he could slice the akuma they had already exploded. Kanda looked back to see Aurora waving.
Aurora: (yelling from afar) That's how I destroy Akuma if you were wondering!
Aurora tried not to destroy too much of the level 1's since the Earl has went through a bit to create them, but she didn't want to blow her cover.
As a Noah, Aurora had complete control of the Akuma so she had the choice to let them self-destruct on whim but Aurora knew that the entrapped souls would result into nothing if they self-destructed. Instead, Aurora made use of her Innocence and found a way to destroy akuma in a more benevolent manner. Admittedly, Aurora blamed her more humane side for this emotion of guilt and empathy.
Before she could gloat to Kanda she heard him yell two surprising words. WATCH OUT!
Level 2 Akuma appeared out of no where and started shooting at Aurora. She bit her lip to withstand the pain, before she knew it pentacles appeared on her skin.
Aurora used her telepathy to give the akumas a piece of her mind.
Aurora: (thoughts: YOU FUCKING IDIOTS! It's ME. Aurora Mille!)
Akuma 1: Wh-What? Miss Aurora Mille? Oh dear sorry we did not recognize you!
Akuma 2: OH NO! What do we do! The Earl will kill us if he found out that we accidentally shot a Noah!
Aurora: (thoughts: annoying pieces of shit!)
Aurora, in rage, had ordered the akumas to self-destruct. Their pleas and apologies could be heard even after they became ashes. Yet Aurora felt no remorse, this was her Noah side.
Aurora saw Kanda running towards her and she grinned.
Aurora: (smirking) Is that a worried look on your face?
Before Kanda could ask if Aurora was all right the pentacles started fading away from her body. As a Noah, Aurora was immune to the virus.
Kanda: You're an idiot for letting them shoot you like that.
Aurora: You pushed me to the ground! I could've dodged it just fine!
Aurora looked down to see a few bloody scratches on her knees, the ugliest part of her body.
Kanda: (bends down) here.
Kanda wrapped a few bandages around Aurora's knee and she was surprised at such kindness from a guy like Kanda.
Aurora: What happened to the whole "I don't see you as a partner, so don't expect me to be saving your ass"?
Kanda: Shut up and just receive it gratefully. These bandages have a special ointment that'll help you heal faster.
Aurora had a warm smile as she saw Kanda's effort to help her knee, but her mind strayed off to thinking about Tyki. Aurora was sure that Tyki would have done the same thing if put in the same situation but that's only because Tyki, as a subservient Noah member, would feel obliged.
Kanda was not obligated in anyway, he had no reason to help her. Aurora smiled at this genuine kindness.
That day Kanda and Aurora searched around to find no trace of Innocence. Kanda was irritated to know that he had just wasted his time coming down to Spain. He went to go call Kamui to complain about the Finder's not getting their information correct and Aurora returned to her own room back at the hotel where Aurora and Kanda were gonna stay for the night.
Aurora was prepping herself for bed and heard a knock on the window shield. She opened the window and was surprised to see Tyki crawl inside.
Tyki: Heard from the Earl some level 2's couldn't even recognize you as a Noah member, you alright?
Aurora: Yeah, it was nothing big, did you come here just to check up on me?
Tyki was surprised to see the bandages on Aurora's knees.
Tyki: Who wrapped those for you? That exorcist downstairs?
Aurora: Yeah, why does it matter?
Tyki: (irritated) it smells like him.
Aurora: stop ignoring the question, why are you here?
Tyki: (grins) why, I can't come and visit my girlfriend cause I miss her?
Aurora: (a bit taken back and flustered) shut up Tyki, you're only sweet when you want something. (smiles) That's why the Earl loves you, you manipulative asshole (jokingly laughs).
Tyki: mhmm… you're in a better mood than this morning.
Aurora remained silent, she hadn't realized that she did feel a lot better. She wondered if it was because of her company, Kanda.
Tyki: Well, I just came to check up on you. The Earl's been whining about how he wants you home as soon as possible, which confuses me since he's the one that sent you on this mission. But he does have one concern…
Tyki sits by the window and looks down to see Kanda outside enjoying the fresh air of Spain.
Tyki: He thinks you're having too much fun.
Aurora: what do you mean?
Tyki: You know you can kill him, if you wanted too. Just tell the Order you lost him to an Akuma.
Aurora looked at Tyki trying to read his emotionless face.
Aurora: …I know I can kill him. It's just more fun to play first.
Aurora bit her lip for a bit, she sounded like Road for a bit and she didn't like it. Although Road was a part of Noah just like she was, she wasn't very fond of her. Someone about her made Aurora feel tense and wary.
Tyki saw Kanda head back inside and he decided to leave as well.
Tyki: I'll see you when I see you, Ora.
Before Tyki left, he gave Aurora a small kiss on the check. She smiled but yet it didn't feel so right for her.
