Mercury's touch

A burning passion a burning hate

When morning came, Mercury began to wake up in the chair. But felt more weight on him then usual. It was an unusual awaking. Only to noticed that the little red headed faunas girl had moved from her bed and into his lap hugging him.
Mercury felt awkward to how she was clinging to him.
'Did she have a nightmare or something.....?' He asked himself. He know he wouldn't ever get an answer so he held the little faunas close now worried.
"Geez.... Your gonna be ton's of trouble for me aren't ya?" He asked teasing. But said it in such a soft whisper. He was starting to grow a small feeling then turned his head.
"Wait.... I can't gross no Cinder would kill me." He sighed. "You really are trouble for me aren't you Lilith....." But yet he gave a soft smile. Poking her bow a soft whine came from her.
"Don't like that?" He asked teasing poking it again as her hand swatted at his in anger.
"Heh...." He did it one last time as she woke up grabbing his hand.
"Knock it off!" She yelled in anger.
"Okay okay i'll stop." He whispered. "Better!" She snapped.
"Calm...." He smiled softly rubbing her back. "Had a nightmare? Or you just like sitting in guy's laps?"
A deep red blush came on her face as she pushed back falling off his lap and onto the floor.
Mercury just laughed standing up picking her up.
"Short. Clumsy. Is there something else i should know about?"
"S-shut up!" She said blushing crossing her arms. "Put me down you tall jackass!" She yelled throwing a hissy fit.
Mercury just laughed smiling then set her down.
"Y-your a jerk sometimes!" She yelled.
"What wanna fight me about it?" He asked softly pinching her cheeks.
"Cute girls shouldn't fight."
Anger filled her as she punched his stomach.
Mercury hasped a bit now in pain regretting what he had said.
"O-okay it's on."
"Weapons?"
"Always short stuff."
With that Lilith jumped back to the other side of the room taking her sniper out.
"Whoa whoa not here! Training room."
"Hmp!" Lilith sneered as she walked threw the wall as a shadow.
"Creepy added to the list..." Mercury whispered walking out of the room down the long hallway.
Lilith was already waiting for him in anger as he walked in.
"Show me your move shorty."
Lilith's eye twitched as she ran at him her sniper laying clumsy in her hand dragged across the ground.
But she was holding it by the barrel. Something Mercury was confused by as he tapped the back off his foot to see if his weapons were fully loaded.
The sniper swing upwards to a uppercut only to be slammed down with Mercury's foot. But Lilith had the upper hand using the momentum Mercury gave the sniper as a tidier tader. Kicking Mercury right in the face. Taken back by this Mercury had fired a dust shot at her missing her barely.
'She's fast.' He told himself as she ran back at him swinging her sniper left and right at him like a sword.
'Who taught her.. Why won't she fire it!?'
Thats when the sniper was starting to twirl around her now firing in furry shot's. Red bullet's flying past him as he dodged as much as he could. Every now and then getting hit. He had to get back at her but she was getting him against the wall. Her red eye's just staring at him. She was to fast for him to keep up. But when he kicked her in the stomach she went back. Now he had a chance to fight her. His feet colliding with her side's as she tried to hit him back, still twirling her sniper and firing shot's at him.
The battle just raged on. Nether would give up.
A attack about to hit Lilith in the face blocked with her sniper as Mercury did the same attack breaking her sniper in half. He had no intentions to do it. But little did he know what came of it.
'Shit....' He whispered stopping.
"Whoa Lilith i-" they transformed into sharp bladed fan's one in each of her hand's. Now two weapons being swung at him and even more sharp.
'Shit!'
He was starting to get cut and hurt now moving back.
Both there breathing was unstable as Lilith made more marks on him.
But she was enjoying herself.
Mercury had noticed that crazy smile on her face.
It was no longer a fight of fun. It was a fight of life or death. He had to win.
"Lilith!" Mercury yelled trying to get her to snap out of it. No use as she kept attacking him.  He began to attack back harder now. Actually wanting to win this so he wouldn't die.
One hit to her stomach and she went flying back her aura completely dropped as she bit against the wall and slumped down now out cold.
"Fucking hell...." He whispered. Running over he checked on her. She was breathing. Good sign but he drained her completely.
"Good job shorty..." He whispered slumping next to her rubbing her back.
