My love, Broken and Twisted (Tyki Mikk)

Chapter 11

The rain mercilessly pounded down on the exorcist’s head as headquarters shrunk further and further into the distance, his dark blue hair drenched and his clothes soaked right through, he pressed on. Kanda hadn’t told anyone why he was leaving, he felt that it wasn’t any of their business anyway, and even though he refused to admit it to himself, he was a little embarrassed. No matter how hard he tried he couldn’t eat, sleep, or even focus on simple meditation. The thought of her with him made his stomach churn and that thought would not leave him alone, so obviously he needed to put a stop to it and bring the stupid girl back home. A blinding streak of light momentarily lit the black and grey sky, the distorted shadows of the trees decorating the muddy terrain with each flash. The roaring crack of thunder that followed, overpowering the noise of the constant rain, shook the earth under Kanda’s feet. He had no idea how he expected to find her, but like always, he couldn’t have cared less. Something was missing without her there… something Kanda couldn’t quite place, he remembered the feeling he had when she left. The sky flashed again, BOOM! That horrible feeling, he felt like she had just torn him in two. Why him over me? The question just popped into Kanda’s head, surprising him a little, but that question seemed to sum up why he had been so bothered, why he couldn’t just let her go. As much as he hated it, it made perfect sense. Why he couldn’t kick Tyki’s pretty boy ass that day, why he covered for Shaun with bold faced lies and why he was trudging through mud going god knows where in the middle of a thunder storm.  I’m jealous!? Of a fucking Noah!?

Tyki took a deep breath in an attempt to calm down, It’s probably nothing… He lied to himself as he neared the door to one of the Earls many special rooms. He felt bad for locking Shaun in his room but he wanted to protect her, there was no way he was going to let her come with him, not for this. He knew she would be mad at him later but for now she would be ok, THWAK! Something hit Tyki hard on the back of the head, Oooww what the? The Noah bent down and picked up the metal object that sat by his feet, recognizing it immediately he sighed, it was his doorknob. “Shaun I thought I told you t-!?” Tyki ducked dodging a flying plank of wood, which he assumed used to be another part of the door to his room. “IF YOU EVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN!” She roared, Shaun threw another piece of the door at Tyki BAM! Just missing, it smashed into splinters on the stone ground beside him. As the furious exorcist stormed over to him he smiled nervously and took a step back, he wasn’t sure who he was more scared of at the moment, The Earl or Shaun! “I SWEAR IM GOING TO RIP-!?” Tyki quickly grabbed Shaun’s forearms and forced them down so that she couldn’t throw any more door at him and he pressed his lips to hers, it was just like pouring water on an open flame. Shaun’s muscles relaxed and she dropped the remaining planks of wood from her hands, after a long gentle kiss Tyki pulled away and smiled. Shaun punched the Noah’s shoulder hard and then looked down at the ground, refusing to give in to his charm, “God I hate that you can do that…” She complained folding her arms over her chest. “I know that you’re angry love but you don’t understand-” Tyki brushed is hair back with one hand, “I would much rather you be cooped up in my room ready to rip my head off than here where you could get hurt.” He explained, gesturing to the entrance of the Earl’s room. “Get hurt?” Shaun chuckled in disbelief, “I’m not exactly fragile, I don’t need to be protected Tyki!” Tyki’s face was dead serious, “Oh I am well aware of that.” The Noah stated, now Shaun was confused but the exorcist still wouldn’t look him in the eyes, “The thing is love, you don’t need anyone’s protection, you’re a strong independent woman and I love that about you… but that doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to be protected.” Shaun was speechless, Tyki placed a hand under her chin and guided her up to look at him. “So please Shaun, I’m not asking… Wait here.” Shaun stood motionless as he turned around and disappeared through the bright red door, leaving her all alone with her thoughts. Her hands curled into fists and she ground her teeth, she knew that nothing good was going to come out of this little chat with the Earl. But you don’t understand… I want to protect you to…
