One hour later, "Oh man! This place is so hot!" Kota complained, he was sweating, "Come on, I thought you'd be used to it by now!" Sapphire said.
Apparently he was sweating as well, "Whew ..." Kota said, "Apparently not, and you're sweating as well! Plus we're hunting two strong Aragami here … and with only just the two of us!"
Sapphire reassured him, "Don't worry! This will be piece of cake ... Speaking of piece of cake, I suddenly crave for a cheesecake ..." Kota thought for a while, sometimes Sapphire amazes him ... and made him hungry.
"Man, you're full of confident." Sapphire replies back, "Of course, my friend, of course ..."
After a moment or two, Kota begins to question something that would make Sapphire sweat even more, "... Hey Sapphire, I noticed that you're getting close with Alisa ... Are you guys a couple?"
Sapphire didn't say anything and instead stare at Kota. Kota is silent, waiting for him to answer. "... Uhh ... What, what's wrong?" As Kota about to ask Sapphire when they're were suddenly interrupted by a Gboro-Boro.
Again Kota is silent, which was a twist of luck, but then charged along with his leader. After an un-epic fight with the Aragami later, the two God Eaters are fairly tired, "Whew... I'm tired..." Kota said, Sapphire looks at the tired Kota before he says anything, "Just after one fight? Come on! Man up!"
"Easy for you to say, you got a lot of stamina!" Kota retorted. Sapphire smiles "Come on! You're a Scout! A Scout is supposed to be fit!" Kota takes a deep breath, "You're right ... Well, it's not like the other Aragami we're suppose to hunt is going to attack us right now ..." he said.
Suddenly a deafening roar is heard, and it's none other than the Vajra, "Damn it, Kota, you're jinxed!" And went ahead to defend themselves, Kota face-palmed himself before joining him.
Meanwhile, at the Den, "Ugh, I can't believe he leave me without saying anything!" Said Alisa, she is at the entrance of the Den right now, currently fuming. "He at least would left a message, but no~!"
The only one who is her right now is her friend, Kanon Daiba. Kanon becomes friend with Alisa, when she was recovering from her 'mental state'; suffice to say they became fast friend.
Currently, Kanon is the second person who knows about Alisa and Sapphire's relationship, only because Alisa accidently blurted it out when she was tired the other day. "Calm down Alisa, maybe he got a reason to do so ..." Kanon said, trying to calm Alisa down.
Alisa pouted, Kanon is right, but whatever reasons he got, must be a good reason because if it's not, then Sapphire going to get himself in trouble... again.
"No, I don't think so ... But if he does have one, then it better be good!" Alisa said, anger is clearly heard in her voice. Kanon Daiba sweat dropped, she knows that Alisa is acting silly, but even so.
"You know ... You're acting like you're his wife." When Kanon said that, she didn't expect to see her so surprised.
"What! No! I don't-! We're not even-!" Alisa said hysterically. Kanon mentally slapped herself for saying that, but she couldn't help but giggle at Alisa's funny if not hysterical reaction.
"Calm down, Alisa." Kanon said. "Calm down!? How can I 'calm' down?" Alisa retorts while she emphasis the word 'Calm'. Still, Kanon tried and tried to make her calm down again.
"Well even so Alisa, you and Sapphire really are starting to get close." Kanon stated. Alisa blushes again, "What? Really … does it seem that obvious?" Kanon nods her head, "Kind of, yes… Well, for the people that pays attention towards both of you …"
Well that stated to make Alisa wonders, "… Now that I think about it … You and Brendan seems close lately …" And she changes the topic.
"What, What do you mean by that?!" Kanon shouted in embarrassment. Alisa's question seems to have impact Kanon deeply. "N-nothing, nothing is going on between us!" Kanon is in denial.
It's a good thing that Onyx is passing by, "Hello, Miss Amiella, and Miss Daiba!" Apparently, she's still polite. "Onyx … you don't need to be polite, just call me Alisa." Alisa tells her.
"Yeah, just call me Kanon, Onyx." Kanon tells her too, forgetting about Brendan. "Um … Okay … sorry …" Onyx said shyly. "Don't worry about it, Onyx." Kanon reassured. Now Onyx is stuck talking with them.
Now, let's see how the boys are doing, "Aaaaaa!" Kota screamed running away as the Vajra is chasing them. Where is Sapphire you might ask? Well he's running away also, but he is much further ahead of Kota. "Sapphire, where's all that confidence gone to?"
The Vajra roared again. "Never mind … Aaaaaaaaa!" Okay ... that was just pathetic.
After they realized they were God Eaters, (Both slaps themselves for their own stupidity) they fought the Vajra with all their might. Which is particularly easy, as Kota sums it up.
As the mission is done, they returned back to The Den. Although Kota couldn't stop thinking he'd forgot something. Oh well, nothing like watching Bugarally to take his mind out of it.
As they returned to the Den, it was already evening, when they arrived at the entrance Hibari tells them that is waiting for them at his lab. "Awh man, I'm so tired!" Kota complained.
"Let's just go~!" Sapphire said, dragging Kota along, literally. When they arrived at the lab, Sakuya greeted them, "Welcome back boys! How was the mission?"
Kota then answered tiredly, "It was so hard~!" Although Sapphire answered happily, "It was so easy!" Since both answered differently, Sakuya is at a loss of words. "Okay then ..."
Sapphire surveyed the room, he didn't see Alisa, or either.
" is not here. He left a while ago, and if you're looking for Alisa, she's in the backroom with the Aragami child." Sakuya said to Sapphire. "Then why did Hibari said that is looking for us?" Kota asks while lying lazily on the sofa.
"Oh nothing much, he just wants you to babysit the child." Sakuya explained. "Oh great, A while ago, we forget that we are gods eaters! Now we're babysitters! How great is that?!" Sapphire rants while heading towards the backroom. Sakuya stare at him with confusion then looks at Kota for an explanation.
Kota then explained, "Well, during the mission, we sort of taking our breath after defeating a Gboro-Boro, just then a Vajra appeared! We defended for a short while.
Then we sort of … ran away ..." After that elaboration, Sakuya wondered why they ran away in the first place. Oh well, maybe it's just for comedic reasons.
Now back to Alisa, Sapphire and the Aragami child, "Hei Sapphire! Welcome back!" Alisa said happily while embracing him. When she hugged him, but he is in a lot of pain, though his face doesn't show it, his eyebrow does twitch.
"Hmm … What's wrong?" Alisa ask innocently, completely obvious of his pain. "N-nothing …I am just happy to see you too!" Sapphire said as he put up a fake (and painful) smile. "Oh, okay then!" She let go of him and then sit at the bed near the child.
Sapphire takes a deep breath, and hold out his pain like a man he is ... well quite. So the Aragami child is drawing on the ground with crayon. She is apparently drawing Alisa, quite ... cartoonish, "Hey look! She's drawing you, Alisa!" Sapphire said, forgetting his pain completely.
"She also draws you ... hehehe" Alisa giggles. When Alisa shows the picture to Sapphire, he was pleasantly surprised. It's a drawing of him alright, but the problem is just that, it's a picture of girl Sapphire, "I am drawn as a girl! What the-?!" He screamed.
Alisa could just laugh, while the Aragami child just keeps on drawing. "I know that I'm hot, but still ..."
Alisa chuckles again, "Hehehe … You're hot alright, but as a guy … I'm not sure how hot you are as a girl …" Sapphire when hearing that makes him think. "Well yeah, don't forget my twin sister Juvia … but I never saw her all grown up … So yeah, I'm not sure too."
After that weird gender-bender conversation, both of the lovers just chat all day. Not before Alisa commented how cute the Aragami child is. Sapphire inclined to agree. Now that they're in Alisa's room, Sapphire took this moment to tell her about Kota, "Hei Alisa, I need to tell you something about Kota."
Alisa is listening, "What? What about him? He knows about us?!" Sapphire calms her down, "Now Alisa, calm down, I'm not finished. What I'm trying to say is that, Kota is acting weird lately, I mean not Kota weird, just normal weird …" Alisa raises her brow to that, "Okay … how weird?"
Sapphire explains, "Well it's like this … I think he acting suspicious around me … it's like he knows something … But what that is … I don't know …" Alisa started to wonder as well, what on earth is Kota thinking about.
"At any case, just … you know, keep an eye out on him … Of course if he did know something." Well that's the end of that.
