Magia Record: ZEXAL

Wish 7: She Won't Say (She's In Love)

Iroha woke up feeling sore all around her body as she looked to see Astral sleeping next to her, holding her hand in his as she blushed and managed to get a good look up close, his pale blue lips looked soft and almost made her want to kiss him, the markings on his face were beautiful she wanted to trace them but she couldn't move her arm due to the pain, what was more interesting was how peaceful he looked sleeping.

Iroha smiled before resting her eyes again and staring out the window where a family of white doves made their home in her window sill as she got up carefully to head to the bathtub as she removed the bandages to see how badly she was injured as she saw the numerous cuts from the wolves after saving Astral and the bruises from her Dark Zexal, the simple thought of the fusion brought a cold feeling to Iroha as she stopped the running water, undid her hair and stepped inside of the tub.

The hot water feels heavenly, and she suddenly realizes how achy she feels. So when she's cleaned up, rather than let the grime sit in the tub with her.

She sinks down, wincing as her knees crack and her legs shake. Surviving a deadly duel on the near brink of death is not fun, the hysteria of what happened with Astral now wearing off and leaving her feeling tired, sore, and confused.

Iroha takes hold of the hair charm and squeezes it tightly.

The silence is deafening, Iroha pulls her knees up to her chest and hugs them.

She wants to ask Astral to come out of the key and talk to her, but she's naked. Does she care if he sees her?

They've now shared a body, and he's naked all the time, so why should it matter? If she keeps her legs up and pressed tight to her chest, will there be anything to see?

Even the whole ordeal with Vector, the one person to be her first date was the worst to overcome. He lied and nearly killed her but she doesn't want to see him anymore after the whole ordeal and that was final.

"Iroha?"

She turned her head gently to see Astral with a worried look in his eyes as she didn't care to even cover herself, the bath salt made the water cloudy so he couldn't see her naked body.

"You can sit in the bath if you want." She said with a sad look in her eyes, Astral floated in the water and looked relaxed when he felt the warm water around him but noticed Iroha staring at her own knees as he saw the bruises on her back.

He reaches for the soothing cream and applied some onto her back as she yelped before withdrawing his hand before applying it back on gently. "I want to forget him." She cried as Astral knew who she was talking about.

He hugged her in his arms before letting the water drain and wrapping her around a towel as she got dressed in pjs so she could relax in bed, they received a text from Tsuruno that she went back to Kamihama and Felicia Mitsuki, the magical girl she met was going to stay with Iroha to protect her from Ray or rather Vector incase if he tried anything.

Iroha laid on the bed where Ponta and Cloud Kitten were cuddled up before she winced in pain as she laid on her side as Felicia came inside and saw Iroha in pain.

"Don't worry, I got some ice!" She said as she let it sit at Iroha's side and cooling the pain off before Astral went back to Yuma to let the boy know Iroha was okay.

Iroha fell into a deep sleep and her muscles relaxed in the comfort of her warm bed as Felicia sighed, she felt really bad for Iroha and Astral after witnessing the Dark ZEXAL.

Felicia has been hunting down witches since the deaths of her parents and now she's hunting down Vector for bringing so much pain to her new friend.
