Thought of the day: If you're a nudist and you get mugged. What the hell was the guy thinking of stealing???
XXXXXXX
There was a moment where time just kind of stood there hanging in the air doing nothing along with everyone else. The cigarette still lit and burning on the floor being the only sign that time was in fact still moving forward despite the three in the room failing to move with it as it seemed.
Tyki just stood open mouthed staring at Allen Walker who was in Road's closet of all places. How Tyki managed to retain his poise and grace with his mouth hanging open is a amazing an possibly a trait unique to him but he pulled it off.
Allen was thinking this could go two ways: Tyki would have a normal reaction to having found a boy in your female relatives room. Or he could just outright kill him because he was an enemy....or any combination of the two really. The possibilities of variation of those two options were astounding.
Tyki's mind finally managed to start back up after a complete system failure as it were. He merely turned to Road, "What are you doing with a boy in your room? I mean seriously Road what the heck!?"
Tyki put out the cigarette on the floor by grinding it with the heel of his foot as he pulled another one out and lit it up without missing a beat in his lecture. "I mean really? Are you just at that phase where you are trying to rebel against your elders or something? Cause if your dad found him well...."
Tyki shook his head at this point just considering it while taking a drag from his newly lit cig. It was an unpleasant thought. "And that's not even considering the fact he's an exorcist. Of all people it's the cheating boy. I know you have a thing for him but come on! I don't even know where to start with how wrong this is *sigh." He exhaled the rich smoke from his lungs at this.
"I don't know whether to kill him for being an exorcist or for...." He just looked Road up and down as she stood in her nightgown just blinking at him innocently in wonder of what he was thinking. He wondered how to put it tastefully. "....For....for making you a woman....is that even what happened here?" He finished with slouching his head to the side, letting it hang there as he side and took another drag from the cigarette.
Tyki got a unified "NO!" from both Allen and Road. The latter of the two spoke before Allen could get a word in edgewise which might have been good because he was lightly sweating out of fear and embarrassment. "Nothing like that happened Tyki *humph. You are such a perv. And I am a woman anyway even without doing THAT."
Tyki just stared at her with boredom on his face then turned his head to look at Allen who stayed rooted to his spot awaiting judgment. "Uh..huh. Then what the heck is he doing in your room Road and is there a reason I shouldn't kill him?" As he said this he reached down and unconsciously rubbed the phantom wound that was now aching stronger than ever.
Road clasped her hands together in a pleading manner and tried to use the innocent act. This could work to her benefit as she had been wondering how to allow Allen to join without him...well.....being killed immediately before anything could be said. And this was a gradual like she wanted. Tyki could help and that's why she was now putting on the show.
With the innocent pleading act on she looked like a child begging her parents to let her keep a puppy she found. "PLEASE Tyki before I say anything you can't tell anyone about this yet because I know it will sound hard to believe but it's REALLY REALLY important to me PWEASE" Road batted her lashes giving the cute eyes effect.
"I'm getting bored." Tyki was completely un-phased.
Allen interrupted at this moment. "I want to end this world so....I want to help the Earl. Since that is your goal afterall."
"What!?" Tyki said with a deadpan voice. He was completely dumbfounded at hearing this and again the cigarette slipped from his lips and headed to the floor. Tyki caught it this time but thought to himself as he slipped it back in his mouth and pulled out the pack of cigarettes to inspect how many he had, I'm gonna need more cigs I can just tell.
Road tried to help convince him while gradually inching her way between Allen and Tyki should Tyki just outright kill the boy on a whim. "It's true Tyki. Allen wants to join us!"
Tyki couldn't help but think out-loud, "This is ridiculous. Exorcists don't just....switch sides."
Road responded Hastily, "That Suman guy did!"
Tyki rubbed the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes in frustration. "That was because he was threatened with DEATH! What did you do kidnap the cheating boy and threaten him with the same. Because otherwise there's no reason even to consider this. He could just be a spy and we have no need for him."
"Tyki, Allen has been through a lot and after he learned about...." She turned and looked at Allen quickly before continuing. "The 14th. Things began to...unravel for him and-"
Allen interrupted her at this point, showing backbone which had remained dormant since Tyki entered. "Learning about the 14th brought everything I believed in. Everything I lived for. Into question. Everything that I had been living for in the order. All that I had fought for. All of it....didn't matter in the end. No matter how hard I try I can't save everyones souls. Even if the akuma were gone I still....still couldn't do anything. It's not just akumas' souls that need saving...what about the living?.....That's why....that's why I want to end this world....to end EVERYTHING and everyone. So all can be at peace . No more suffering. That's the only way I can save the souls of those who suffer. Akumas shells aren't the only thing that need to be broken to free suffering souls. Human bodies need to be destroyed as well to free their souls from suffering."
Tyki raised an eyebrow at this. I knew I'd need more cigarettes but now it's a guarantee. "Soooo.....you just came to this conclusion on your own huh. And then you came waltzing to Road asking her for help. Is that about right?"
Road, who was bouncing up and down she was so excited, "No I helped him come to that conslusion....well...sort of. ISN'T IT AWESOME! Now Allen can play with me whenever I want!"
"What Road means to say is she was there for me when I was....contemplating these issues and dealing with my depression if that's an appropriate term for what I was feeling. Although I think it falls far short."
Road now had her hands laced around Allen's neck as she was bouncing up and down."Yeah! That's right!" She now added nodding her head to the roller-coaster of momentum she was now exerting.
Tyki still had difficulty dealing with this idea. "So then....that means I can't kill him then right?"
managing the impossible Road began shaking her head even harder signifying yes.
Road did vouch for him but still. It's just....how the heck do you deal with a concept like this so fast. I mean all of a sudden he's suppose to just welcome this kid with open arms or something? Come on. Tyki figured it was some kind of trick or something by the exorcists and if it was the earl would figure it out and stomp it into dust. But if it wasn't.......well this was just plain amusing honestly. Road would quit pestering him now since she would have a 'new toy' as it were. Though how long it would last is anybodies guess. Plus to be honest with himself, Tyki rather liked the boy himself. The boy showed such skill, even if it was cheating, with the game of cards. Which brought him to his final and perhaps most important reason for accepting all this.
"So I can't kill you cheating boy. You know what that means don't you?......Rematch time!" As if by magic Tyki slid both his hands forward and up holding up half a deck of cards in each hand, each card displayed face forward while Tyki smiled maliciously.
Allen returned the smile with equal fervor and just as much sinister aura behind it. Perhaps the only time Allen truly looked evil was when he was playing cards.
Tyki definitely was going to enjoy a rematch and that alone was enough to keep the cheating boy aka Allen's presence from the Earl and the other Noah....at least for now. If the boy was trouble then they would take care of it.
Tyki might have been better off playing a board game though.
XXXXXXX
I knew shortening up the chapters would be a good idea. See you get a new chapter so soon after my last update. Nice right. Next chapter: It's Road's turn to play with Allen and they have a playmate help. Is it Tyki? Lulu-bell? HELL NO!....well maybe. And you'll find out why I am burying these strippers.
