Retribution

Chapter Five

SEPHIROTHS POV

It seemed that Angeal and Genesis were fighting.

"Genesis, don't!" Angeal warned.

"Why not?" Genesis demanded.

"Because if she says yes and you hurt her, i'll kill you!"

----

This statement shocked me. "Angeal, Genesis, what are you talking about?"

They looked at me.

"Ask him." Angeal growled, shouldering past me.

I raised an eyebrow at Genesis, who hadn't calmed down yet.

"What was that about?"

"A woman." he said.

"I gathered that. But why was he so.... you were talking about Aimee weren't you?"

His fists clenched, and he nodded, before following Angeal.

For some reason, i felt...angry? No. That wasn't it. But this emotion wasn't something i was used to.

AIMEES POV

-

I sat on the couch with a irritated groan.

I didn't get why Genesis snapped at me the way he did. Had i done anything wrong?

I sighed. "Angeal, will you stop standing there and come and tell me what came up between you and Genesis."

He came out from where he was standing silently watching. "You're better than ever."

I snarled at him. "Angeal, i'm warning you, i am most definitely not in the mood. Tell me."

He sat down beside me, putting his arm on the back of the couch. "Genesis, he's in love with a woman."

I snuggled into my brother, laying my head in his lap. "Lucky her. And I'm you're in love with her as well?"

"Not exactly in the way you're thinking of. I'm protective of her though."

"That's what they all say." i murmured, relaxing as he pulled his fingers through my hair. "So who is she?"

"You always worry about others before yourself." he chuckled. "Idiot."

"Moron." i snapped back. "Who is she?"

"You, little sister." he said, kissing my forehead.

"You're mad." i laughed.

"Genesis has been in love with you for a while now."

"And i'm supposing you knew?" i growled. This new information pissed me off a bit. The last few years had been awkward with Genesis, but i had no idea why.

"He made me promise not to tell you, but he also promised me that he wouldn't ruin your friendship over it. Or hurt you."

"I see. And you wanted to keep me safe. I am a big girl now Angeal, i can look after myself. Mind you, if you were in my position, and i yours, i'd probably do the same thing."

"I wouldn't expect any less." he laughed. "You should sleep awhile, just to get your strength back."

I nodded and yawned. "You stay here. I'm comfy."

"I will." he promised. "Now go to sleep."

"Whatever." i said, letting myself fall asleep.
