Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Denial

Long days passed for the Noah of Pleasure and Judas of Insanities and Music.

Tyki laid on his bed with his hands behind his head, a death stick known as a cigarette was placed in his mouth between his umber colored lips and white teeth. His eyes were closed half way as he was in deep thought.

"I'm not in love with her..." He kept repeating to himself. Unsure of who he was really trying to convince.

"Ty~ki-pon!~" He groaned at the pet name given to him by the Earl and slowly turned away from the door into his side. "You know Tyki, that's a bit mean." His bedroom door closed and the sound of shoes hitting the wooden floor going towards him filled his ears. God..

"What is it Road?" Tyki groaned as he slowly sat up and looked at his niece.

"What's going on with you?" Another one?! He was growing tired of everyone trying to get into his business. Trying to get him to open up but they all knew full well he wasn't like that. "Nothing." he replied casually as he took a drag of his cigarette.

"Tyki. You know I am not afraid to make your whole life a hell, right? One thing right after another." She grinned. that is...of coarse your Road, then he'll open up...Just a little..

Tyki blanched. Fuck me...

"Okay okay...fine." He said as he ran a hand through his hair.

"Its...This woman..." He trailed off refusing to make eye contact with her. Knowing full well what was coming next.

"WHAT? A GIRL! YOU'VE SO GOTTA TELL ME ABOUT HER." The girl always was fond if the idea that Tyki would actually like a girl and maybe fall deeply in love with her. "Well...you know her..." That's when realization hit Road. HARD.

"Domino...Or as you said, Dominique Minora." Road sighed. "It seems that I just can't get her out of my mind. My thoughts always revolving around her...I find myself worrying for her and wondering about her..." He said as he took another drag.

"Tyki.." He saw the surprised look on her face as he glanced at her. He was sure she She wasn't expecting him to say that. Of all people. "Tyki...I think you're in love.." Before he could protest once more on the subject she held a hand up to stop him, he closed his mouth, "Deny it all you want but I'm sure once you realize what you feel about her...You'll know exactly what to do..." And with that encrypted tip she left without a word.

"I need a drink..." He muttered as he decided he would go into town to a pub and maybe stop by to see Eeez and the guys. Then maybe talk to Lulubell later, as much as he hated to admit, she probably had a better chance to help him since she didn't really bust his balls about shit like the majority of his family.

Dominique laid in bed on her side. A bottle of saké on her night stand, multiple empty but there was that one that was still full.

Her cheeks tinted with a pink hue and her eyes glossy from tears.

She was in her own room, after explaining to Alicia why, and it was similar to the younger Judas. Except she didn't have a dresser and in its place there was a grand piano.

For the past long days she's been holed up in her room drinking saké and tequila and anything else that Jerry had as alcohol.

Tyki...

"No...stop -hic- it..." She lightly banged on her head as she tried to rid herself of the thoughts surrounding the Noah of Pleasure. She failed to stop thinking about him after she got back to the order.

She thought herself weak since she couldn't forget about Tyki. It was irritating her...She didn't know why all her thoughts were now revolving around the Handsome Noah.

She fumbled reaching the saké bottle but then grabbed it firmly before she quickly sat up and chugged it down then set it on the table.

Sighing deeply she groggily climbed off the bed and went over to the piano. "Maybe this'll help..." She said as she ran her fingers along the piano and slowly began to play a melancholic melody.

She began singing, her voice angelic, and didn't notice she had a small audience at her open door.

" Deep in the meadow

Under the willow

A bed of grass

A soft green pillow

Lay down your head

And close your eyes

And when again they open

The sun will rise

Here it's safe

Here it's warm

Here the daisies guard

You from every harm

Here your dreams are sweet

And tomorrow brings them true

Here is the place where I love you..."

She repeated the lyrics once more before finishing and a sense if contentment washed over her.

That feelings soon retreated when the sense of eyes staring at her back made her turn to the door to see three pairs of eyes. Allen Walker, Lenalee Lee, and of coarse the Princess, Alicia.

"May I help you?" she asked lightly though her words still slurred.

Allen shook his head, regaining his composure before he spoke lightly. "We came to check up on you. Alicia got worried."

Dominique's eyes glanced at said girl before turning her glossy gaze back at the two exorcists. "Well as you -hic- can see..." she gestured to her well kept form considering she was holed up in there for some time now, "I'm perfectly -hic- fine."

"She's having a rough time because she's been thinking about someone nonstop." Alicia said in a matter-of-fact tone. Dominique glared at her as she got up and walked to over and passed the three. "why?" Lenalee asked. "Because she's in loooove~"

Dominique turned angrily at the time and shouted,"I am -hic- Not!!" before she jumped off the ledge of the floor and jumped from on level to another till she reached the one that the kitchen was on.

"She's in such denial." Alicia snickered.
