[9] Just like old times...

[jiyuna_togabito]

I'm feeling exceptionally good today. I'm not certain why.


[Filtered to Cathedral:]
Lilith, the medicine worked wonders. Thank you for all your help these past few days. Please, if there's anything I can do for you in return, don't ever hesistate to let me know.


[Filtered to Chrno:]
Chrno~ It seems like ages since I've last spoken to you. I heard through the grapevines that you were sick as well. How are you feeling?

Fear? Aion?

[Lilith stood, balancing on the car swinging motions, and walked to him.]

Let me see. What is hurting you?

[AP]

[jiyuna_togabito]

I'm not sure. Just my head rings when I think about certain things...

[He looked up at Lilith coming towards him. 11:55...]

I see. [She placed a hand over his temple, trying to take his temperature] You don't seem feverish, take it easy and I would give you something when we return home. Alright?

[As soon as she finished to speak she heard a noise and her head turned to watch the sky over the amusement park alight in colors.]

Ah, the fireworks.

[12:00. Game over. Aion quickly snatched the hand on his temple as he slowly opened his eyes. A low growl escaping him, the sinner glanced at Lilith as he gravely spoke.]

About fucking time I came out of that...

[Lilith didn't make a move to pull from his grasp nor did she seem very surprised when she addressed him calmly.]

Welcome back, Aion. How are you feeling?

[AP]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Aion deeply stared at her as his grip slightly tightened around her wrist.]

You fucking knew this whole time, didn't you?

[Anger built up inside.]

[AP]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

Of course I did. Why else would I miss my shift in the Hospital to follow you and Chrono and assure you wouldn't be together when midnight strikes?

[She replied without missing a beat.]

That was the only thing I could do while you were cursed. The alternative was sedate you and lock you somewhere. Which one is preferable to you? I was worried, so I played along.

[Aion showed his fangs as he growled in fury.]

A curse again... A fucking curse!

[The demon stood up as he threw her wrist back towards her. A firework lighting half of his face.]

Those DEITIES... GRAHHH!!

[Aion clawed the side of the ride, leaving a deep streak denting one of the walls.]

[Lilith took a few steps back and sat on her side of the car, saying nothing, allowing Aion to take it out his chest.]

I'm sorry it was so terrible for you.

[AP]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Aion turned towards the window as he adjusted his glasses. Deadly eyes staring out to the people below and a small figure running off into the distance.]

I'll make them pay...

[AP]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

Can we return home?

[She asked quietly after his display. It wasn't too late for her to return to the Hospital.]

[AP]

[jiyuna_togabito]

Go on ahead... I have something I need to take care of first...

[As the ride ended at the bottom, Aion broke open the door and stepped out, walking off towards the exit of the park.]

...

[Lilith followed him.]

Wait. Aion! I came with you to help and I won't leave until I know you're safe back home. If you're angry... [She paused.]
Take your anger with me. Don't do anything suicidal, please.

[AP]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Frustration building further, Aion swiftly turned back towards her, his face only inches away from hers as he glares down at her.]

I said to fucking go home...

[Hearing her suggestion, he narrowed his stern eyes as he gravely spoke.]

Very saintly of you, Lilith... Sacrificing yourself in such way...

[He brushed his fingers against her cheek.]

And what if I were to take that offer...? Do you really think you'd stop me?

[AP]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

Don't underestimate me by my appearance, Aion. Saintly you say, without knowing what "Saint" means to the world I come from. Perhaps I don't seem so...

[She stood her ground, looking at him seriously, but her statement and voice kept in a quiet, polite way]

I volunteered myself already, I knew the consequences when I came to this ride with you and him. What is stopping you? Unless you believe I am too much for you to handle.

[AP]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Perhaps. He knew exactly what she was capable of, at least from what he's seen at the tournament. Aion gave a smirk and removed his fingers off her face with a clean sweep. He hated to admit it but without his sword at hand and jewels, even the raged demon knew just how suicidal it was. Letting out a low growl to let out some steam, he placed his hands back into his pockets.]

I'll never understand why you care so fucking much...

[Aion turned to walk out as he spoke.]

Come on. We're going home.

[AP]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's because you can be endearing to worm yourself into fondness.

[She said with a smile, walking beside him. Of course, she was teasing but she was also serious.]

Alright.
