Authoress: more Humonculus and Eike Yay. lol. I've had a dull day so I've got two chapters in. Enjoy and review.

CHAPTER TWO

"Hello again, Eike"

The church was cold and damp. The stones themselves seemed to be more ice than mortar and Eike's arms clung around his waist as he lay shivering on a pew. Glad though, to be inside as it had started raining rather heavily, he was regretting having not snuck into the museum.

The priest had granted him access but warned him that he was leaving and if anything went missing Eike would be blamed. Charming.

The walls echoed every sound so that his own breathing seemed to suffocate him. The walls adopted every shadow. The church felt so unholy at night. He was just glad that if Humonculus was going to kill him, he'd be safe in here, even if it did seem sinister. He could hear the cold drips of water that seemed to come from nowhere.

He was going to get a chill he knew it, but he had no-where else to go. He'd sleep here once and make sure he was out immeadiately next morning and go find a hotel. There was no way he was doing this again.

Meanwhile between the borders of time and life, Homunculus had woken. Time was unpredictable in the daemons world. He could have slept for a month or even a year. But he'd really only slept an hour of our time. Either way, he was fully healed and felt refreshed. He read Eike's sleeping thoughts. Oh, how sweet, he was dreaming of him. Did he really leave such an imprint on Eiky's thoughts? He chuckled as he imagined Eike's reply to him being called Eiky. It involved a word Humonculus wouldn't repeat, dignity and refinement considering. He swung his legs back and forward like a child as they dangled from his favourite seat on a top of the door. His smirk back on his face. Should he or Shouldn't he? The question tickled his thoughts, he rolled it around his tongue then cast it to one side.

As he watched Eike shiver he frowned. He didn't like that, he didn't know why but he didn't. Maybe it was because it reminded him of how cold it is was in Limbo..that seemed most likely,

Eike twitched again and the daemon watched the blond as his spine unfolded and curled again, he couldn't take his eyes away. Time to pay a visit. The little Djinn despised waiting anyway, especially when he had nothing else to do, which he didn't.

He felt the draught of the building immeadiately his fingers and toes tingling terribly and cracking, he whimpered fearing that they might break. He knew Eike beleived the church was out of bounds for a creature like him but au contaire. He lingered in the shadows.

Eike woke with a fright, he sensed something moving. Half opening his eyes, he scanned the darkness. RED EYES. He sat up quickly rubbing his eyes and looked again. Nothing. He laughed nervously, merely the remnants of his dream, one about...cookies and humonculus was a giant cookie...Those eyes were unmistakable...

He was going mad, he had to be. He rubbed his temples roughly. Madness. This was pure madness.

He got to his feet and paced the aisle trying to think and restore warmth to his feet, which were beginning to tingle painfully. How was he going to make it through the night? Every shadow reminded him of something he'd seen that had killed him today. How many times had he died? Twenty? Fifty? More? How could that not drive you insane?

"Missing something Eike?"

A familiar voice invaded his ears, he stepped backin fright, narrowly missing the rug, the voice echoed off every angle and bounced back enclosing him in.

"Homunculus?"

Silence.

Oh, how amusing, thought the irratating creature, to watch him scurry like a little spider in a trap. Eike was beggining to panic thinking he was hearing and seeing things.

"J-just STAY AWAY FROM ME THEN!!!" Eike finally yelled losing his composure and throwing a candlestick in the direction he saw the eyes. Homunculus jumped back in fright. How un-expected!

"My my," came the disgruntled reply, "you aren't happy to hear from me then?" he asked sarcastically, refusing to reveal his where-abouts to Eike.

Eike sat down.

"It is you," his pulse lowered, if only a little, it was only Humonculus, but his prescence may not have been something to celebrate, "I trust you're not visiting? Especially after ignoring me..Am I going to die again?"his eyes turned from annoyed to terrified.

"Oh Eike, you take me all for wrong," smirked the Djinn mischeivously, "I'm all but comforted by my usual normalities, in other words. I'm bored, and after dying so many times, how can you possibly still from it?." He waved his hands out as if stating the obvious.

"You don't seem happy to see me."His voice tried to sound innocent.

Eike could barely contain his laughter.

"You..you think,..that after what just happened you can saunter along and act as though it's a bloody re-unioun?" Eike was irratated, and that was an understatement.

"Deary me Eike, if you think your life is stressful you should try my job," he cackled wildly, it bounced back eerily. Eike shuddered again. This time Humonculus didn't object, he liked it under his terms.

"I have been watching Eike, you didn't seem like one who would sit and cower from shadows,"he mocked tilting his head to one side, "nor one who would sleep in a church-"

"What do you want?" Eike interupted narrowing his eyebrows, "why are you here?"

The brunnette looked around innocently and laughed,

"Nothing, absolutely nothing," he grinned and disapeared his laughter still echoing and bouncing through the blondes ears. Eike shuddered again,

It didn't take him very long to leave the church...
