For The Love of Chaos

Chapter 6

President ShinRa personally promised to fund Anna's research for the next few months, although with the promise to be updated constantly on any new findings. Chaos was much happier with her methods, granted he'd rather not do it at all, but it was far better.

Anna ran her fingers threw Chaos' hair as he laid comfortably on a table, a heart monitor hooked up to him. He had his eyes closed as she did this, breathing calmly like she wanted him to, watching the beating of his heart on the monitor. She found it interesting, his heart seemed to beat slower than a normal humans would. Though, if he were enraged or had his adrenaline going, then his heart would beat just as fast if not faster at times. She was always monitoring his health, making sure that he was alright. Granted, she still continued to neglect hers, but that was to be expected. The young researcher was always with Chaos, making sure that he was alright, she didn't trust leaving him with anyone. She would constantly grow tired, but she would still try not to show it, and would continue on with her work

"Ms. Carter, should we run a blood test now?" a young man with dark hair asked. His name was Kevin and he was one of her helpers. She nodded her head.

"Yes, we should, but I'll do it" she told him, walking over to a counter and picking up a needle. Chaos watched her as she walked back over to him, needle in hand. He growled faintly, but she placed a hand on his cheek, quieting him. "It's alright Chaos, I'm just going to draw a bit of blood, ok?" she asked, a smile on her face as she looked at him. He closed his eyes, exhaling as his let her draw blood from his well muscled arm. She stroked her thumb against his arm, keeping him relaxed as she drew blood, not wanting him to tense up. Once she was satisfied, she removed the needle, lightly whipping the spot with an alcohol pad. She then placed a cotton ball there, taping it down. She watched as a bit of blood soaked it, smiling faintly. She closed her eyes for a moment, feeling light headed. Chaos noticed this and took hold of her, allowing her to lean against him. Some of the guys in the room were still a little leery about this, not completely comfortable seeing him that close to her. She had told them some time ago though, that he was perfectly safe as long as they didn't do anything to anger him or have Hojo in the room, that was a given. In fact, no one wanted that man in the room. They had even changed the password for the room on him to make sure that he stayed out.

"Ms. Carter, are you alright?" Kevin asked, coming toward her, Chaos watched him careful. Anna put a wary hand up, feeling Chaos tense behind her.

"I…I'm fine, just a little tired Kevin" she told him.

"Shouldn't you sit down then?" he asked with a bit of concern in his voice.

"Y-yeah…I…shou…" she didn't finish, before collapsing in Chaos' arms. Kevin took another step forward, Chaos growling slightly, but he didn't stop. No, he reached his hand forward, placing it against Anna's forehead. He sighed.

"She's sick" he said quietly, looking down at her as he rubbed his neck. "Well Chaos, come on then" he said, motioning for Chaos to follow him as he walked over to the break room, Chaos following behind him with Anna in his arms. He opened the door for Chaos, letting him walk in first, ushering him toward the couch. Chaos then laid her down on the large couch in front of him, not noticing as Kevin left the room. "Here" he said, coming back in with a damp cloth. Chaos just looked at him strangely. Kevin sighed, taking Chaos' hand, much to his protest and placing it on her forehead. He blink, his hand now holding the cloth to her head. "See? That's what your supposed to do when she has a fever, it cools her down a bit" Kevin told him. A few minutes later, Anna's phone fell out of her pocket and onto the floor, flipping open. "What's this?" Kevin asked himself, picking it up and looking at the screen. His brows furrowed in sadness for a moment, before whispering "Valentine…" he sighed, closing the phone on placing it on the nearby table, before exiting the room. Chaos got up from beside Anna, grabbing the phone in curiosity, opening it. He blinked, looking at the picture that showed on it. It was this 'Vincent' person that he had seen in other pictures and also in his dreams. This was a man whom was special to Anna. He growled lightly for some reason, playing with her phone a bit. He jumped though when it flashed, blinking. He looked at it, then what was in front of him, it was the same. He had taken a picture. He tilted his head to the side, turning it around to face him as it suddenly flashed at him, causing him to fall off of the couch. He blinked several times, before taking the phone and turning it back around, it was him. He had taken a picture of himself. This caused him to grin, before setting back down on the couch. He thought for a moment, before taking hold of Anna, and laying her against him. He held onto her as the phone flashed, taking a picture of them, he smiled on the inside which was still kind of strange to him. He liked the image in front of him though and managed to save it to her phone. After a hour longer of playing with her phone, he put it away and just laid there with her. He enjoyed this greatly, the feeling of her laying against him, though he didn't really know why he liked it so much. He just did.

Kevin eventually came back in, though finding himself slightly disturbed at what he saw. He found the two sleeping together, Anna laying on top of Chaos as Chaos laid there on the couch, snoozing away. He chuckled though, finding it interesting, this creatures attachment to his colleague. He had also noticed her apparent attachment to this creature though, he had noticed it the first time that he had started working with her on this project. Lord had he been scared that day, seeing that 'thing' as he had put it, out of it's tank. In fact, he had wet himself as embarrassing as it is to admit, but it was true. He had practically been scared for his life when he had realized that Anna was going to be keeping him out of the tank from then on. After a while though, he found that it wasn't so bad with Chaos around. I mean, he didn't really cause that much trouble. In fact, he really acted like any other person, although he still had his animalistic qualities. Kevin knew that that would never go away though, he was a demon after all, so it was bound to stick with him.

"M…" Anna groaned lightly, the cloth falling from her head, her face slightly red.

"I had better go inform the President about her condition" he said quietly and with that, he left the room. He came back 15 minutes later, President ShinRa in tow. "See Sir" Kevin said, pointing to Anna as they entered the break room. The President couldn't help but chuckle though, seeing Anna and Chaos the way that they were. Chaos really wasn't that different from them, that's what he found himself thinking as he looked at them.

"Yes, I see. I also see some other things" he said quietly, slight amusement in his voice.

"Oh, you mean Anna and Chaos?" Kevin asked. He nodded.

"Yes, I find it rather interesting, don't you my boy?" Mr. ShinRa asked.

"Yes. It really is something, isn't? Even though he looks different from us on the outside, he's still like us in many ways. Heck, he's still a guy isn't he?" Kevin asked, laughing. Mr. ShinRa chuckled.

"Yes, that he is…that he is" he said quietly, smiling at the two as they laid there together on the couch, Anna's hand curled lightly on top of Chaos' chest. Chaos had his arms around Anna, one coming close to falling to the floor, but the other rested around her waist. Sometimes one would think that she belonged to him, the way that he acted at times, growling at anyone that comes close to her. It was like an alpha male in a pack of wolves. He'd sooner snap your hand off than let you touch what was his. It was laughable really, at least in a few peoples opinion, they just couldn't see what she saw in that monster. Granted, she'd yell at any of them that even tried to call him a monster. She saw him as just being misunderstood, especially with that fact that he never spoke a single word.

"So what should we do Sir? She seems in need of medical attention, but Chaos would sooner rip our heads off than let us take her away from him" Kevin informed him, shuttering slightly at the very thought of Chaos' possible actions.

"Well, that is a bit of a dilemma, isn't it?" He sighed for a moment. "I think I'll call someone down here personally if that's alright with you Mr. Conley?" Mr. ShinRa asked, turning his head toward the boy.

"That's fine with me Sir, but what are we going to do about Chaos?" he asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of him, don't worry my boy" he told him, before walking out of the room and up a few floors.

"I hope you know what you're doing Sir…"

Half a hour later, Chaos was on the other side of the room growling as men restrained him, trying their best to hold onto him as he lashed out. Kevin knew that this was going to happen, and to be honest, it scared the crap out of him.

All Chaos could do was stand there, growling at everyone as a doctor tried to take care of Anna. He wanted to rip their heads off right now for even letting someone touch her. In fact, he was outraged. He grew furious when he saw the man inject something into her arm. That was it, he'd had it. Quickly, he jerked away from the men's hold and ran forward at the man, only to be stopped by President ShinRa getting in front of him.

"No Chaos" he warned him "He's trying to help her. Do you want her to get even sicker than she already is?" he asked, looking at the enraged beast in front of him. Chaos' nostrils flare slightly in anger, before growling dangerously at the man, daring him to continue. Chaos could smell the fear around him. He growled again as he saw the man inject her with something else, trying to lash out once more at this, one of the men stopped him.

"Chaos, he's trying to make her better, ok?" Kevin asked, placing a hand on his arm, only to have him wretch it back quickly. He growled, eyes glowing even brighter as he fumed. A soft groan from Anna is what made him quit, quickly going over to her as the doctor moved away, whispering to President ShinRa.

"I'm done Sir, but she may be down for another day or so, that is if she decides to actually stay in bed this time. I swear that girl works far too much. She spends more time here working, than she does sleeping and taking care of herself. Unfortunately, I know that she won't listen to reason" the doctor said, watching as Chaos played with her hair, kneeling down beside her. "Dare I even ask?" his eyes went over to President ShinRa, staring at him in question.

"No, not really Andrews. In fact, it rather reminds me of Beauty and the Beast, don't you agree Mr. Conley?" the President asked, smiling at the boy. He chuckled.

"Yes Sir, it actually does now that I think about it" Kevin said.

"Y-you mean…?" Andrews stuttered.

"Yes, I'm afraid that Chaos is rather attachment to Ms. Carter, and vice versa" he said "In fact, she is the one that brought question of this continuance of the project to me or rather a more humane one at least" President ShinRa said.

"Yes, Hojo's ways are rather inhumane, aren't they?" They all nodded in response, knowing all too well the evil and torturous ways of Hojo. Even to a demon like Chaos, it was still inhumane, the things that Hojo would have continued to do to him if given the chance.

"Chaos…" Anna's voice spoke softly as she started to come to a bit, they knew that she wouldn't be awake for very long though. Kevin watched Chaos' reaction as she opened her eyes, he acted as though it were the best thing in the world, this caused him to chuckle. As soon as he did though, Chaos sent a glare his way, along with a faint growl.

"Ok, ok, not funny" Kevin said quietly, waving his hands around in defense. The last thing that he wanted, was Chaos trying to rip him apart out of rage, that would not be very pretty or pleasant for that matter. President ShinRa let out a chuckle at this and Kevin stood there, dumb founded. "Now why is it growls at me, but not you!?" he cried out, this only caused the President to laugh further, Chaos never making a single move to attack.

"Perhaps, it's because I'm laughing at you and not him my boy" he said, still laughing slightly. Kevin just fumed, walking out of the room.

"No fair…" he whined. If it weren't for Kevin's age, Mr. ShinRa would have thought him to be a small child, the way that he seemed to whine and groan.

"Chaos?" President ShinRa asked, coming toward him, only to receive a short growl. "I guess that means I can come closer?" Chaos let out a snort in response. The President tried not to laugh at his behavior, it was rather strange. President ShinRa placed a hand on his shoulder, resulting in Chaos growling at the fact that he didn't like to be touched, with the exception of Anna of course. The President didn't remove his hand though. "Might I ask a favor of you?" he asked, watching as Chaos turned his head to look at him, his eyes slightly narrowed as a result of being pestered. President ShinRa saw this as a sign to continue. "By any chance…could you help us keep her in bed?" he asked "Of course this means that the two of you will be allowed to go back to her home" he informed him, a small grin forming as he knew Chaos would like this. Chaos grinned, putting his hand up in response. President ShinRa blinked at this, then laughed before taking Chaos' hand and shaking it, he knew that he must have picked that up from watching the other scientists all of the time. "Then it's settled, the two of you will be returned to her home within the hour" he said, before leaving the room to go and inform the others.
