Chrono Crusade - The Next Generation. OPEN AND ACCEPTING!!

[Tytun]

Once his shower was over, Melthos redressed himself before leaving the shower room. Once back in the hallway, he decided to head off to the kitchen. He was hungry for once, and thought that maybe someone there could provide a warm meal. Upon entering, he instead found Zemira sleeping against the table, her hair a mess and her snooze peaceful. Seeing this, he sighed to himself before he approached the table, taking a seat next to her. Food could wait until his companion was awake...  

[S C A R Y G I R L I E]

Nuzzling her arm a bit she murmured about something. Though smiling a little in her sleep she murmured a name. But it was neither Lou or Melthos.. But it was Viktor. She then moved her head from one side of her arms to the other. Her face was now facing him but was very relaxed causing her to look childlike. Sleeping peacefully she didn't even wake up when some of the sisters came in for their kitchen dutie. One of the girls smiled before placing a blanket upon Zemira. Though looking to Melthos she smiled a little before moving forward preparing breakfast with the others.

 

[Tytun]

Barely hearing the name Zemira spoke, Melthos blinked... Viktor? He didn't recall her ever speak about a Viktor before... Could it be a person from her past, perhaps her butler? Whatever the reason or person, she was in peace right now... That's all he could ask for. When the other sisters walked in to prepare breakfast, he nodded lightly to the one that placed the blanket over Zemira. For now, she would sleep until she awoke herself.  

[S C A R Y G I R L I E]

Waking up after hearing a clang, she sat up a little. Rubbing her eyes she looked around the kitchen. Realizing she had fallen asleep she dreamed about him again. Sighing she stood up before folding the blanket. Not even saying anything besides a quieted thankyou. She walked out deciding to take a shower in her room. Limping down the hallway she placed the blanket back into a cabnet. Walking to her room she closed her door before taking a shower. Though she wasn't very talkative she wondered why she thought about him again. Shaking her head under the water she closed her eyes trying to forget the subject. Finishing she walked out wearing a towel before she placed on her uniform leaving her hair down. Walking out she limped down the hallway in a sort of daze.

 

[Tytun]

Watching her walk off without as much as a hello, Melthos sighed gently at this. Well, she was still tired, at least in appearance, and he wasn't about to disturb her any further. For now, he would wait for the sisters to finish breakfast.  

[S C A R Y G I R L I E]

Walking outside she sat on a bench looking up to the sky. He was probly doing well of the western branch. Feeling her cheeks burn she wondered if he ever did think about her. Truth was is that she used to have a partner. His name was Viktor and he was an exorcist. Though a few years ago he was transferred to the western branch of the Magdalene Order. Touching her cheek idly she then blinked hearing someone running about saying they were here. Blinking she then looked up a bit towards the main entrance. Seeing a few counselors she then looked up seeing him. Her eyes widened before she stood up seeing him pause before looking over to her. Smiling she ran forward ignoring the pain of her wounds. Jumping forward she landed into his arms hugging him tightly."Your back! Viktor! Your really back!"She cried out before smiling feeling her eyes burn. Pulling away she looked up to him a little smiling.

 

[Tytun]

As he sat in the kitchen, a sudden feeling of fear and foreign power overcame him. It only took a few seconds to realize what it was... an exorcist... Here? That much should have been expected, but he hadn't felt a holy power this strong ever... from a normal human of course. Standing up, he left the kitchen and moved hastily down the hallways, up until he reached the main entrance... and stood at the far end looking at the male. So shocked was he that he didn't even see Zemira there...  

[S C A R Y G I R L I E]

Smiling he hugged her back before pulling away. Placing a hand upon her cheek he smiled caressing it. He was surprised when the counselors had asked him to come back and visit. But he accepted none the less happy to her."Hello, Zemira.. It's been a long time hasn't it..?"He said softly looking down into her rouge colored eyes. Smiling a charming smile he leaned down brushing his lips against her cheek near her lips. Pulling away he looked down into her eyes.

Once he hugged her back she felt like she was floating. Though feeling her cheeks burn brightly once he kissed her cheek. She nodded gently looking up to him before wrapping her arms around his. Of course he'd escort her around for the time being."Indeed a long time.. How's Sister Merriem..?"Asked her voice gently before she smiled looking up into his eyes. Walking forward along with him anyone could see she loved him.

 

[Tytun]

Watching the exorcist, Melthos realized Zemira's presence as soon as Viktor had kissed her cheek. Quickly turning and disappearing into the shadows, he watched as the two began walking around together... Of course, a love of hers. Truly, he didn't seem all that fazed by this, as he knew his place. Of course, he had to hold back a chuckle when he thought about how devastated Lou would be... Oh, sweet revenge.  

[S C A R Y G I R L I E]

Walking forward he smiled before looking to her. He had saw him, her contracted sinner. Ignoring his prescence he then looked down to Zemira. Once she asked about Merriem his smile grew even bigger."She's great.. We're engaged to be married.."He said happily nodding a bit revealing his ring. Looking forward he nodded dropping his left arm to his side once more.

Once he spoke of being engaged her eyes widened. Looking to his left hand she then looked up to him. Stopping she then looked up into his eyes catching him off guard. Feeling her eyes burn she then nodded a bit smiling. Moving forward she released his arm walking towards the Order."I-I see.. Well I better get going.. I'll see you around so hurry up with business so we can talk some more, 'kay?"She said quietly but with a smiled as she moved forward. Feeling her feet pick up their pace she ran forward. Retreating to her spot she sat down on her bench under her gazebo. Crying she rubbed at her eyes sobbing quietly."He forgot.. He completely forgot.. His promise.."Whispered her voice as she sobbed before she held a fist to her eye.

 

[Tytun]

From the distance away, Melthos couldn't hear anything that the two spoke about. In fact, he was simply making assumptions to the matter. Something seemed to happen, though... The exorcist had lifted up his hand for a moment, and then Zemira had ran off. Coming out of hiding, he tried his best to 'casually' walk past the holy man before following her out. He had lost sight of her, but that didn't mean he wasn't sure where to look. The first place he chose to check was that spot of hers... and he was right. Walking in just as she whispered something about a promise, he approached from the side as he asked, "And what promise would that be, eh Zemira?"  

[S C A R Y G I R L I E]

Not even bothering to look up she shook her head. Letting out a choked sob she then looked to the side. Her hair curtained her face in a way where only half of her face could be seen. Looking to the side she didn't want the tears to come."It's nothing.. Just a childish promise.. I shouldn't have believed him.. Every man.. Is filled with desires.. I don't why I didn't expect him to go after Merriem.. She's beautiful.."Whispered her voice before she stood up. Moving to the rail of the gazebo she placed her hands on the rail idly. Staring to the side she began rubbing her eyes. Finishing her crying she then stood up straight before punching the rail. Cursing under her breath she retracted her hand to her chest."I give up.. I don't want to be waiting for nothing.."Murmured her voice before she rubbed her eyes vigorously. Turning to him a little she shook her head. Her rouge colored eyes hardened before she moved forward passing by him.

 

[Tytun]

As Zemira moved, Melthos took a moment to consider her answer. She was sad, hurt, that this exorcist had broken a promise a long time ago... In that same moment, he suddenly felt desperation. Not for himself, but for her. If she loses this feeling of love, what's to stop her from becoming like Willow, or worse? If she didn't keep this, too many things would suddenly fall out of proportion... As soon as she had passed by her, he did something that he himself wasn't sure why. Turning around quickly, he gripped her arm. Immediately spinning her around and pulling her into his grasp... When he realized what he had done, his lips were already pressed onto hers...  

[S C A R Y G I R L I E]

Moving forward she then felt something catch her arm. Though being spun around she blinked from confusion. But thats when it happened, he grasped her to him then kissed her. Feeling her eyes widen she stood still for a moment. Pulling away quickly she then slapped him across the face. Looking up into his eyes a little her hand touched her lips. Shock was written all over her face but even more confusion. Backing up a little she then turned around running forward. She ignored the pull of her stitches but could feel her heart pounding under her chest. It was scary, how fast it was pounding. Part of her believed it would simply burst. Landing herself in the Orders library she sat down in a back table that you couldn't really see. She didn't know what exactly was that. Or why he even did it. Touching her lips she couldn't help but to replay what had just occured over and over in her head.

 

[Tytun]

The kiss only lasted for a moment, yet it felt like an eternity. The only thing besides her lips that he felt was a sudden pain across his face which knocked him aside. Barely turning to see her run off, he felt the sting of her slap on his face burn 'brightly'. He... didn't know why he had done that... But he had, and now this would cause some problems later most likely... Deciding not to follow her, he simply stood there in silence...
