Pieces of Treasure

"But that makes you upset. That's weird of Iyuki, isn't he a push over?" Aoi's head tilted, the smile not fading. Aito... had her number...and had not... She stored this in her head, deciding to be here for her friend before she punished that special young man for his lack of contact. Some...woman helped him and he had his own apartment...

"Men are odd." Aoi's cheek puffed up, pouting just a bit. Ai Ai wouldn't let her help him... Muika wouldn't let her kill Seiya... no one let her do thiiiings.

"I-I don't know, he just...maybe he thinks Aito still needs help or something. He wants us to get along too...though I don't think that's going to really happen." Muika gave a small shrug, those were some reasons anyway, or so she felt.

"Probably. He does seem like that type, never to leave someone who may need his help to die or get hurt huh? A lot different from Rin that aspect... and me too. It's why you love him though, right?" Aoi pointed out with a grin. She was over their losing and texted Rin that.

[...I am over losing to the Nerds.]

"Well... You are humoring him? Maybe you might if he thinks so." Aoi's tone was not encouraging, she seemed just as confused as Muika. Iyuki...knew things? Maybe?

"Y-yeah." Muika replied, giving a small nod, though she had to shrug again at her last words. "I...doubt anything will really come of it between me and Aito...there's too much bad stuff between us."

They'd never gotten along...and Muika didn't see it being likely that they ever would. She was behaving for Iyuki's sake...

[...I'm still confused by this being a competition, but, you're in town? I assume that maybe was a yes...?]

"Mm... killed all mine. I burnt the whole place down... and slaughtered anyone who tried to escape... So... I understand a little what you mean. But if Rin asked me to do what Iyuki did... I think I'd do the same as you. Try because they want you to be a good person?" Aoi smiled, it was a real smile but she understood Muika's point. Glancing down at her phone she sighed and replied.

[Yeah, in a park with Muika. You sent me the stuff about the bodysuit and I figured I could...get away for a bit today and help.]

[I see...Right.] From his response, though only through text, it obviously held that vibe of "Well, if you're too busy..." Obviously, Rin was falling back...if he interrupted her while she was busy he would feel absolutely awful.

Muika gave another nod, "I'll behave, and I'll try for his sake...but that's all I can promise."

There was just too much bad blood, as she'd said; they fought, and not just little school ground fights you'd see anywhere. They were honestly trying to kill one another back then, so those feelings weren't exactly going to change so easily.

[...I'll come see you only if you promise not to freak out. Or be mad.] Aoi had to sigh, not wanting Rin upset at her or just upset in general.

Moving to Muika, Aoi bent down and patted her head softly. "Thats fine then. Do what you can, I'm sure he understands as well."

She was doing her damnedest to do behave for Iyuki and he needed to understand that. Aoi hoped he did at least. Trying to change the subject, Aoi smiled. "Wanna see a cool trick?"

[Only if you're not busy, but why would I get mad?]

Muika gave a nod, "Mm."

He seemed to understand...or she hoped so at least, she knew he knew of how they'd used to be, even if she'd...heavily censored it.

[I didn't tell you some things about why I was gone.] Aoi left it at that, not wanting to explain over text.

Aoi continued to pat Muika's head, after replying with one hand. "I'll send you another text when I get back today with the details. Masaru, he's my old Captain and the one in charge of the Living World, he should be able to let me know when would be fine. I promise you will be fiiine. Rin went all day, over night and another day... With no ill effects!"

Moving her hand back, she gave a thumbs up and a wink. Yeah! No ill effects!

"Alright." If the trip would be safe, then Muika supposed it would be alright, and gave another small nod in response to Aoi's reassurance on it. She'd be sure to listen out for her phone then for the message when Aoi had things set up.

Aoi smiled more and laughed a bit, hoping she had eased the young woman's worries. Picking up her body suit, she turned and waved over her shoulder. "I'll talk to you later, give Iyuki a hug for me~"

[I gotta run some errands. I'll be there as soon as I can, I can't stay the night or anything though...]

Aoi sent that text to Rin, hoping he wouldn't be a worried mess when she got there. Now, Seiya... needed a visit.

----------------

Where was he? In his office or somewhere else... Should she wander the building? Sighing, she stuck her head inside of the window. Would she find him or should she go looking? How would she talk to him anyways? Knock him out of his body again?

So complicated...

"'K-kay." Muika watched as Aoi headed off, staying where she was for a moment or two before she moved to get up. There wasn't much else for her to do out here, so she could just head home.

Seemed like a plan.


Seiya was out of his office at the moment, though, after a few minutes, he returned; he shrugged off his lab coat, he'd need to get it washed later...there were a few blood stains on it. Though, he could just throw it away and get a new one...

He moved to seat himself at his desk after preparing some tea for himself. There was work to be done...

Aoi had plopped herself on his seat and was sitting there facing the window while waiting dramatically. As he walked in, she giggled and waited for the moment to strike. As Seiya went to place himself in his chair, Aoi spun it and pushed away. Oh that felt good, she liked spinning chairs.

Just as Seiya moved to sit down, he was promptly whipped away from the chair as it spun and seemingly backed itself away. A noise of frustration escaped him as his eyes moved to it after he'd nearly fallen. That...

Damn it...

More spiritual bullshit? And here he'd been having a relaxing few days, well, as relaxing as things could be anyway around here.

Still sitting in his chair, she felt fancy and like a leader of something, also she rather enjoyed his face and frustrated sound.

Grabbing the notepad and one of the douchebaggy pens, Aoi wrote out a nice greeting for him. "I leave town for a bit and you get uppity? Tsk Tsk."

Seiya watched as one of the pens picked itself up, and with an expression of annoyance he moved to look at the message he was being given.

His disdain grew as he realized who this ghost was for certainty now.

Damn woman...

"What do you want?" He might as well get straight to the point.

Aoi wrote swiftly, realizing she enjoyed his annoyed face more than most things. "You bothered the pair. Stupid of you, according to the rules I set forth that means you forfeit your life."

"They're unharmed..." Seiya replied, his eye unconsciously twitching at the words Aoi left him. Really, he'd been the one to suffer. His nose had nearly been broken from that fall and he'd gotten scratched and bruised up...

"You still bothered them. The rules were you stay away." Aoi smiled even if Seiya couldn't see. "I was promoted, you see, I now have Authority. Enough to end a Human's life if I deem them a threat, I am the leader of the Vanguards after all."

They were the first sent to eliminate threats that couldn't be dealt with according to Spec Ops... In a way it was possible potentially for her to get away with this even if she was caught.

"Then I assume you have Muika's permission then?" He questioned, raising a brow. "You seemed rather intent on keeping that promise."

They were friends weren't they, if so, then how valuable was a promise between them to her?

"I forgot to ask. Give me a minute." Aoi yawned, pulling out her phone and spun it around so she wasn't facing that douchey face.

[Heeey can I kill him? Seiya. Its important.]

Seiya's eyes were narrowed at the message, a glare on his expression as he stood there...waiting to hear what decision had been made...

[That...I'm, I'm still trying to make that decision...]

...In truth, Muika was already certain of it, she wanted Seiya dead, and she knew she couldn't do it herself anymore...she...didn't want Aoi to do it though; Aoi had her own things to focus on, she was out being happy with Rin or happy doing her actual work as a shinigami...

Killing Seiya...that wasn't a burden, even if Aoi didn't see it that way, that she wanted to put on the shinigami. She didn't want to pull her away from her happiness with something like this...

[But...he knows where you live... Its dangerous ;-; Please I want to kill hiiim. I don't get to kill anyone anymore...]

Aoi sent the text to Muika, sighing as she spun the chair and waited for another reply. Picking the notepad up, she tried to make small talk. "Done anything particularly evil lately or just been an all around prick? I mean you lost your Muika tracked, I bet that pissed you off. Kind of want to meet the woman who convinced him to leave..."

But...

[But it...it's problematic...] She...didn't know how to explain herself properly over a simple text message. Her reasoning...she knew Aoi had some point in her response but...

She wanted to say that...Even if Seiya knew where they lived, he wouldn't be able to do anything...but...that was only in the scenario that it was just him. It was dangerous...for him to know this, considering not only him but the organization he was working for...

She...Her resolve was breaking as those thoughts entered her mind. Seiya alone, was now harmless...but it wasn't just him she needed to watch out for; she basically had a death warrant on her head for screwing everything up with that riot...if something happened, and something happened to Iyuki she...


"I've been working, as usual." Seiya answered; after returning that day from that apartment he'd had to get to work. There were subjects to be dealt with, experiments to be carried out, punishments for disobedient specimens; busy, busy, busy.

He didn't have much information on Aito's case; he'd been here one day and gone the next. He assumed it must have been a sudden decision on his part...though, now thanks to his decision he had a mark for his head as well...

[Hm? But... Its easy. I just stab him. Your secrets die with the obsessed freak?]


She frowned, wondering if they should have talked about this earlier face to face. Aoi had to give a sigh. It was getting annoying, so she pulled a glove from pocket and slipped it onto her hand. The chair's spinning stopped ominously as Seiya spoke. The pad of paper was dropped and the pen and she stood, hand moving for his face as she pushed him from his body again.

"There, now we can talk~ I feel almost bad for doing it again but... Well I remember you are a miserable person so its not like you matter." Aoi giggled, looking much different than usual. Her obviously changed clothes being the main thing. Not that he would know.
