Fates twisted vine

Chapter 8

Zahira sighed a little as they walked out f the forest to head to her home, she was so sleepy from her stay in the tree house that she really wanted a shower and warm bed. She knew that wasn't possible till we got to the next location however. Once they got closer Tyki stayed close that it made her blush at the closeness. "why did you wait til the last day to tell me you were the one to pick me up? I mean if you weren't sure didn't cross give you guys a password or something?"

Tyki had moved close to her so to keep her eyes on him and not the city as it was practically destroyed. His hopes would be that he wouldn't have to explain the city to her. Looking to her he smiled and took his hat off to put his hand through his hair before putting his hat back on "i had to make sure you would trust me enough to travel with me. You see I travel differently then most in the black order, I use an ark. I use it to travel around the world much quicker."

Zahira looks to the side when he runs his hand through his hair to hide her blush from him as he looked at her when he did it. When he said ark she looked to him surprised "you mean like a magic door? Is that your innocents ability, or do you have more then one?"She was like a big child right now with her wide eyes and curious questions for Tyki.

Tyki laughs a little as they walk getting closer to the house as he can see it. He senses most of the order is still in town however so he is safe to approach. He thinks about how to answer her before nodding to her "you can say I have two, one that is travel and the other being my weapon...the butterfly that you so like is a weapon but they are also a living creature called a Teez. So when you saw a mouth it did have one"

Zahira almost stopped suddenly when he mentioned the butterfly creature and looks shocked but manages to keep walking completely oblivious to things around her, but normally her instincts would kick in and know to look for danger. His very presents made he be less on guard it seemed. "so the creature is called teez... now I feel like I should have been more careful touching it. Im really sorry Tyki" noticing the willow tree getting closer she smiles, but her smile fades a little when she sees its spilt in half. This makes her heart almost drop from her chest. "no...what happened? It was just in full bloom yesturday..." she says this so sorrowfully that she is but a whisper.

Tyki looks to the tree as they approach the house and he sense the innocents that was in it before is now gone. He looks to Zahira feeling a slight ping of pain at his human side of him, he slowly puts his hand on her shoulder "im sorry...i know it meant a lot to you."

Zahira looked at the tree in silence but soon as he touched her shoulder she felt tears forming in her eyes. On instinct she hugged him and cried into his chest she didn't think to ask first as she did it. The saddness of seeing the tree she raised from a small dying tree split in half now hurt.

Tyki froze when she hugged him, He awkwardly hugged her and kept back a sigh as humans really get attached to the oddest things,. He would use this moment to walk her inside the home before she looked to the town however. "Let me walk you inside so you can sit down for a moment" With a nod Zahira let him out of the hug and walked beside him as he adjusted his shirt and vest back to normal with one hand and the other resting over the back of her shoulders, his hand on her shoulder guiding her in the home closing the door behind him. He glanced back to the town before closing the door, his noah side briefly showing when he grins but then goes back to his concerned look when he looks to Zahira.

Zahira didnt think anything of the akward hug back but was happy he hugged her back at all, she felt a little bad as she knows it was just a tree but it was dear to her heart. She sits down on the couch and looks up to Tyki who is now watching her curiously but also showing a little concern maybe "i am sorry about hugging you, I know it was just a tree...ill go grab my things so we can go in a few moments. would you like some water or anything?" She smiles slightly to him when she speaks trying to sound cheerful as she can

Tyki watched her as she went to sit down, he had not seen this side of her yet so he wasnt sure how to really react. He thought about something though that may help, but he smiles to her and shakes his head at her question "im alright, and you need not worry about what happened. I know you said the tree was important, but I do have something to give you to show you are with the black order. After you pack we will be going east. So you will need this for your mission we will be on right after you pack." Tyki pulled out a black order crest he stole from a dead exorcist coat before leaving town and placed it in her hand. What he didn't tell her is he added something to it on the back to show she was with the noah family.

Zahira looked to the crest in her hand and turned it side to side looking at the design. She then smiled and put it on her left shoulder on her long sleeved shirt. "thank you, ill go get ready then wait here for me"Getting up after saying this she went up stairs to grab her traveling bag and a few things she would miss from home like her sketch book and pencils as well a flute her mother bought her years ago. Oddly she was so mad at the time she hide it in a chest of things never playing it, but now she could bitter sweetly as it was. Once her bag was all packed she looked out her window that looked to the forest and sighed as she wished she could say bye to Liz and Nao, but they went ahead sadly. After a final check she had everything she went down stairs and joined Tyki again who seemed to be waiting patiently making her smile.

Tyki let out a sigh when she left and was beginning to think this little lie may end badly if she notices the card of his target and who he really is, but he would rather her stay away from the order so he wouldn't have to kill her like he earl wants to do. His thoughts got brought back to the now when she came down the stairs with her bag and smiling again. In turn he smiled "got everything ready I hope. it will be very disorienting at first using the ark, but ill be right next to you" With a wave of his hand he opened the ark to their first destination. "lets drop off your things first to the room you'll staying in, then we will going to our next location"

Zahira eyes lighten up at the ark appearing out of no where. She looks behind it only to see her kitchen and she arches a brow "so how do you use this...just go though? And sounds good, but will we have to share a room while traveling?" She blushes a little at the idea but she wouldn't mind in a way.

Tyki smirks and looks to her offering out his hand to lead the way "yes to both of your questions, but I will be a gentleman and give you the bed." He leaves out the fact its a shared house as they won't be there much any how. But if it should come up he will tell her.

Zahira takes his hand and looks to the ark door a little worried but she felt safe enough with tyki she wasnt scared of the doorway. "i could not take your bed, but we will decide that later, lets be on our way. I dont wish to be in an empty house anymore" She looked to him smiling as she was also a little excited to travel a new way.

Tyki nodded as he gripped her hand gently and walked with her through the ark at first it was dark this made him feel a tight grip on his hand but then he opened a new ark gate that gave some light and went a room that was the size of a master bedroom with one king size bed and a fire place. On the walls there was book shelves filled with books and one window looking out but it was hard to tell where it was geologically. Once through he looked to her and almost laughed as she was looking around in awe at the room even if it was bland and simple. "welcome to your new home Zahira."
