He hugged her tightly, "Whatever you want." He said simply and pet her gently. "Your so sweet." She smiled. He couldn't help but smile back, "If I'm sweet then a puppy must be sour." She laughed at him finding him to be quite amusing. "I um.... am I going to get in any trouble for this?" He said staring at the various indistinguishable remnants of furniture. "No because nothing was destroyed." She smirked and then snapped her fingers, within seconds everything was returned to the way it was. He sighed in relief, "I got a feeling there was something to come if it just remained that way." "Yeah your right." She nodded in agreement. He had spent the day with Abigail around the castle, he was completely astonished since in his human life he had such a simple lifestyle, he could never imagine being in a place like this. It was way past noon, it was night even as he saw from the setting sun from a few minutes ago. Everyone had gone their own seperate ways, and now he was just walking around with her, and he was happy of course. "Aaron should be busy right now with his new little sister." She said while smiling. "I can't wait to get my hands on Willow, when it comes to babies and small children...I have an absolute field day with them." "Oh really?" He chuckled, "I'm not to fond off children.... Aaron's one of my first experiences." He lightly scratched his head. "Well not all are that bad. I've taken care of squidlings, a baby that was turned into a Brine Hybrid, and so much more. You name it." She stated before letting out a sigh. "Ah...." He said then smiled, "Now you have me wondering how you were like." "Oh well actually I'm no longer trusted here. It'll be a long time before anyone here trusts me again." She replied sadly. "Huh? Well...." He softly kissed her cheek, "I trust you Abigail!!" He said brightly. Instantly her face became bright red. "Really?" She said while continuing to blush. "Why wouldn't I? Unless your hiding something from me...." He teased. "Heh, but I'll love you anyway, no matter what. I don't care what you do, I'll support you." He said sincerely. "Well...I'm not hiding anything I just made some bad choices. And it was my I died. Luckily Midnight ensured I wouldn't stay dead but still..." "You almost died huh...." He nodded, "Just know that I'll be here no matter what really...." "Oh no I actually did die." She quickly added. He then yawned softly, then hugged her. In the inside he slightly worried about it, but all worry was eventually washed away. She hugged him back and buried her head into his neck. He softly leaned his head in as well onto her shoulder, "....I-I love you Abigail." He muttered softly, one arm wrapped around her neck. Abigail blushed once more before kissing him. As he pulled away he revealed a light grin, "Its really late now isn't it?" He said softly, looking off towards a window with moonlight spreading across the floor in front of it as he held one her hands. "Yeah." She said before yawning. "Ah, your tired aren't you? You should get some rest." He said stating the obvious, but it again stated his care for Blaze. She nodded and suddenly jumped onto his back, holding back another yawn. "H-Hey wha-" He began in surprise, then oblidged to carry her. "Alright just.... lead the way for me okay?" He had a soft dusty pink on his face. "Okay!" She said cheerily while pointing down the hall. He carried her down the hall, it was somewhat a new feeling to feel a bit tired. "Would you like to sleep on the couch in my room? Midnight gave me a room that has its own bathroom, and it's own kitchen." She smiled. "Mmm, thats alright. Even the couches seem like luxury anyway." He said simply, but in truth it was more then he'd ever had before. "Great!" She said before pointing at the bedroom door. He nodded before opening the door, then setting her down on her bed. "Thank you." She said before snapping her fingers, a clean pair of clothes appeared in front of him. "Here you go!" "Thank you." He said, grabbing them and went off to the restroom. Where he washed his face as well. He looked into the mirror for a bit and stared at himself, then there was dead silence, and he came out with a change of clothes, his other clothes folded neatly and he set them down on a table. Abigail was already in her night gown, and curled up in her bed fast asleep. She had a pile of blankets on the bed, she then began to pet her dog (who was curled up beside her). Ryu didn't disturb really, only let a soft smile hit his face. He then went to the couch and laid himself down. It was dead silent in the room except for the occasional snoring, that was coming from the dog. It took a few moments for Ryu to finally fall asleep, which in his sleep he was pretty silent. After a while, there was some muttering and his hand slightly twitching. The muttering got worse into his normal voice level, and slowly was escalating more. A little bead of sweat rolled down his head, his body moving more erratically. He soon was close to screaming when he started blurting out actual words, "I'm sorry." or "I didn't want to." was often, and he was now literally writhing in his sleep. Abigail shot up out of bed, before running to his side. He was screaming more and more, and it looked like he was actually suffering from it, "N-No!! Stop it!!" He hollered, slight leaks of blood started from his eyes. "Ryu! Sweetie wake up it's only a bad dream!" His eyes shot open, his breaths heavy and shaky, his body turned over to Blaze, and hugged her tighter then he'd ever done before, and he was still shaking slightly, "A-Abigail...." He said with alot of pauses for air. "Your okay honey." She whispered while rubbing his back. He sank his head in more, trying to force his shaking to stop, but it kept coming. "I'm s-sorry...." He said with a voice slightly more louder then a whisper. "It's okay." He tried taking deep breaths, his hands slightly starting not to tremble. She then smiled before passionately, kissing him just like earlier that day. He made a soft sniffle, then kissed her back in silence. She then gently pulled away. "If you want you can sleep with me. Just you know in a friendly way." He nodded simply, rubbing the blood near his eyes with his hands, before standing up to move over to the bed. She smiled at him. He laid on the bed, pulling a blanket over him, he waited silently for Blaze to join him. Abigail then crawled into bed beside him and fell asleep again. He wrapped himself around Blaze, almost as in a protective way and softly pressed his head on the top of her head. He calmly went to sleep. Abigail only purred in her sleep. Ryu had no sense of time really, since when Zero slept he was but himself, stuck in his mind. He had no body that needed to rest. So when he woke up, he kept holding Blaze the way he was, and he looked around to get at least something pieced together. Abigail smiled in her sleep before stretching while laying down; to his surprise she made a extremely high pitched, squealing noise as she was stretching. He was surprised at first, then went with it. "Good morning Abigail." He said with a smile. "Good morning Ryu." She said happily before opening her eyes. "Heh..." He chuckled, he quite liked hearing his name, he probably hadn't heard anyone say his name in a while since yesterday. "Want some breakfast? I'm sure your hungry. I'll make some eggs, toast, bacon, and coffee if you want. Or would you prefer something else?" She then asked. "Oh um..." He thought for a second, "Thats just fine with me." "Okay good." Another pair of clean clothes appeared at the end of the bed. She then sat up and got up, before walking into the kitchen. She then began to prepare breakfast. He looked at the pair of clothes, grabbed them, and went to the restroom to start changing. He stopped and stared at his bare chest, which had the scar Zero had gotten from that sword to the back. And now that he looked closely, he had the exact same scars still as him. He quickly put the shirt on, it slightly bothered him. He finished changing, and the usual wash of the face. He then went out back into the bedroom. Abigail had the table already set, and the food served. "You know I hear your thoughts. If you want I can do two more spells and have you looking and feeling like your old self. Long before Zero ever showed up." She then smirked at him. Ryu had practically almost choked on a piece of toast, and took the time to swallow it before replying, "Really?!" He said, he was awfully excited. She nodded. "While you were getting dressed I read the two spells. I have them memorized already. You'll even look the way you once did eyes and all I promise. And still be able to use magic if you feel like it." She smiled at him and then took a sip of her coffee. "Your incredible Abigail... thank you." He said with a smile, "Honestly I didn't think I'd see the day...." He kept mumbling and blabbered off to himself, but overall he was extremely happy. She then giggled at him. "I wish you saw how much you acted like the Tsukiyama guy Aaron was talking about! Remind me to show you sometime who he is." She said as laughed really hard. "Hmph, I have a feeling it wasn't intended as a comment." He said with furrowed eyes, but nevertheless was still acting quite playful. "Well it's actually a compliment! Tsukiyama is hilarious and crazy just how you acted earlier. Allow me to demonstrate." She stood up grinning at him. "Oh gosh..." He said, bracing himself. She tilted her head back and let out the most evil sounding laugh, and raised her hands into the air. Before clearing her throat. "Oh friends, what they can do for you, especially when their just BURNING with passion!" She perfectly imitated how he sounded, and the way he said it earlier. She slightly was terrifying and even seemed to be truly evil. He cracked up with laughter, which his laugh sounded absolutely demonic, "Perfect!!" He hollered, clapping while his hands while laughing. She then bowed. "Well when I said I'm not trusted here anymore like before, there was a reason. I'm not sure if you ever knew from Zero...About the crazy chick with the black and orange hair that tried to get revenge on everyone? Or if you ever saw her." She got quieter. "That- well that was me." She then nervously glanced at Ryu. He stood up giving her a flick to the forehead, "What did I say, I don't care about that." He then kissed the spot he had flicked, he was still playful as ever, "Your mine to me no matter what." He said with a gentle hug. She was blushing like crazy. "No one has ever loved me before until now. Apparently it is possible to feel love even without a heart." She whispered. "Your mine, I'm yours, your not anyone elses right? Thats why." He said ruffling her hair. She giggled and then kissed him without a word. She also ruffled his hair as she did his hair, began to return to the reddish brown color it once had been. He kissed back, longer, what seemed like forever, and thats exactly how long he wanted that moment to last. She then stroked his cheek before making his eyes turn brown again. "Go look in the mirror." She purred before making the scars disappear on him. His eyes widened, "Did you...?" He rushed over to the restroom mirror and looked in awe. He had gotten back his brown eyes, not infected with Zero's venemous stare. He toyed with his hair, the texture was the same, it was exactly as he remembered it. He pulled his sleeves up to see that all the scars were gone, and a cry of happiness resounded from the room. She smirked watching for a moment before saying something. "You can still use magic too." She added. He went over and practically almost knocked her over as she was pulled in a tight bear hug, "Thank you..." He said then nuzzled his head in more and started repeating those two words over and over again. "Don't mention it my love." She purred as she hugged back. Ryu pet her hair, before he pulled away, "Now the others will think I'm someone new, huh?" He said jokingly. "Feel free to tell everyone what happened actually, your story must be told everyone must know." She seemed to mean every word she said. "Mmm..." He mumbled in agreement, "Everyone? Even.... Him?" He said softly. "Yes even him. Zero really isn't a bad guy either I don't think he ever planned to go and ruin your life." She once again seemed positive about that. "Whatever you say." He said simply, his mischevious brown eyes regaining a spark. She laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck. Ryu chuckled softly, his arms wrapped around her as well. He would do absolutely anything for her. Abigail smiled and then started cry, she bit her lip to avoid screaming in pain. From the awful tears that had began to burn and scar on her face. Steam slightly rose from her cheeks, and she kept trying to wipe them away without burning her hand. Which was a complete failure. His eyes widened, he quickly wiped the tears with his own sleeve as they kept pouring down, he used his other hand to gently rub her back, "Don't cry, your alright...." He started with a soothing voice. "I'm sorry I'm just so happy. T-That someone l-loves me." She choked out before crying and laid her head on his chest. Yes, she was crying. But she was crying tears of joy. He held her gently, "Thats right, I love you so much." He said softly placing kisses on her head. She then grew silent and buried her head into his chest happily. She stopped crying but she was still just as overjoyed as she was before. Then a dreadful cackle interrupted the couple's 'moment'. Abigail immediately stood in front of Ryu. She growled staring at the shadowy corner of the bedroom, Ivy walked out of the shadows grinning. "You seemed to have proven yourself useful, when you saved Zero and Aaron. The boss offers you a job now too." She said. Abigail snarled in return. "Never!" Ivy only cackled once more then stop a step forward. "Aw how sweet. You think you have a choice." With that she placed a hand on Abigail's chest. Abigail cried out in pain and fell to the ground, she kept her eyes screwed shut all the while. It became clear that Ivy had done something. Individual strands of her hair had become black and orange, her eyes snapped open revealing them to be orange. "You.... what have you done?!" He let out a biting scream at Ivy, immediately lunging at her before he could think. Ivy cackled just like she had been doing since she arrived. "Getting revenge! She made me remember those awful memories earlier!" She screeched before high kicking Ryu in his face. Instead of falling back to catch himself, he kicked off the ground, and formed somewhat of a dark blade from the shadows and attacked once again, "Allow me to have revenge on you then." He spat, he quickly put force in his arm in order to hit her with the sharp blade, his arm a blur as it was swiped forward. Ivy smirked. "I wouldn't do that I have got your precious little flower." She then pointed to Abigail. The girl that stood before Ryu was far from what he would ever expect. Abigail brushed back her black and orange streaked hair, and glanced at her outfit. "Oh this won't do." She snapped her fingers and in a puff a smoke, she was wearing the old black long sleeved dress. Short in the front. Long in the back. And with the classic heeled boots and gloves, her once shiny pendant appeared to be old and rusty. She was grinning like crazy. "I'm back." She sang.
