"It's quite interesting isn't it?"
A woman looked up from a mac book to see a half awake black haired teen with cold silver eyes dressed in a business suit leaning against a wall.
"What have I told you about coming in here unannounced? But I suppose it's all the same, we must have secrecy, do we not?"
The boy remained silent as he slowly began to grin, as the woman grew impatient.
"Report Nighteye."
Sighing, Nighteye bowed as he stood back up to lean against the wall, his arm folded as he closed his eyes.
"It seems that the traitors began to attack them."
"Them?"
"As in Leon and Elizabeth. Luckily, the Hawk saved Elizabeth from an untimely drowning in the ocean, and it seems someone stepped in to stop the attack on Leon."
The woman raised an eyebrow at Nighteye's last remark, as he opened one eye with a sly grin.
"Thank you. You are dismissed."
"Thank you, I'll take my leave."
As Nighteye bowed, he turned to leave before stopping at the sound of his name, grinning ever so slightly.
"I have a mission."
"Which one?"
"Leon. And have Hawk with Elizabeth. Your orders are to help them cope and train them."
"As you wish, King."
The woman addressed as King frowned as she glanced at the computer screen before looking up again to see Nighteye gone. Looking up at the ceiling of her office, King rubbed her forehead as she sighed.
"It seems things are not going as you planned dear. How much longer until we meet again my beloved?"
A knock on the door made her look up to see an assistant standing at the doorway, with a finely dressed woman behind her, with her sapphire eyes calmly looking through brunette hair.
"Ms. Daemon, the client is here to see you."
"I am aware, please have a seat Ms. Temari was it?"
"Yes, why thank you."
"Hey. Girl."
"Don't address her like that. I don't know why I even let you in here."
"Oh be quiet you nagging girl. I saved her life didn't I?"
Elizabeth stirred to the sound of her name, as she coughed up a bit of water. She was warm in a bed, with a fresh change of clothes. Where was she? Those voices...was she kidnapped? Snapping open her eyes and sitting up suddenly, she felt light headed as she felt a hand on her shoulder to look into the eyes of a dark skinned boy with piercing red eyes of her age group. He had shoulder length jet black hair with three weird tube hair ties to create three giant bangs to cover the right side of his face. As if he was some type of person from japanese graphic novels. Lilth grabbed his hand away from her shoulder as he looked at her with annoyance.
"Why are you touching her?"
"Why do you care? It's not like I am going to do something lewd."
"As if I would let you."
"You could not even attempt to stop me."
"Lil, stop. Who are you and why are you here?"
"Is that how you treat someone that saved you?"
Elizabeth glared at the boy who returned the stare back. This guy is serious. I might as well thank him, he did do me...a favor.
"Thank you..?"
"My name is West. West Yggdrasil. I saw you attempt to skinny dip in the ocean by yourself. Did you really just go all the way to that beach to get left behind by some boy and get snatched away by the rip tide?"
"I apologize but you do need to mind your own business."
"It is my business since I had to brave the water to save you."
"How about this. How come you were there in the first place?"
West looked at Lilth with a cold glare as she returned the favor, as they both held a stare down as Elizabeth looked around to get her bearings. She was in Lilth's apartment, a plain 2 bedroom apartment with little furnishing; she didn't really care for how her dwelling looked. Feeling like they were staring at her, she looked up to meet the stare of West. After a moment, West sighed before turning around, scratching his head as he muttered something under his breath.
"Alright, I was there only because I like sleeping on the beach. So sue me, I like to observe the stars in an isolated private spot. Is that so bad to ask for a little privacy to observe the stars?"
"A convincing lie, but I will take it."
"I'm not lying for your information. Now regardless, it seems she's okay. Now, I will be taking my..."
"Wait!"
"Elizabeth."
"Oh come on Lilth, he did save my life."
"I suppose."
A knock on the door made all three of them look towards the door as West suddenly tensed up, frowning as Lilth and Elizabeth noticed and began to have suspicions. Another knock, and West sighed.
"If you don't mind, I will answer this."
"It's my hou-
"I was simply being formal. I don't really care what you think. It's for me anyways."
Elizabeth put a hand on Lilth's arm as she quieted herself to stop the strange boy from answering the door. As they heard the door open, they heard a stifled yell and the sounds of blows landing, before the door closed again. West returned with a look of shame, embarrassment, and irritation on his face as he rubbed his arm, as Elizabeth took note of his appearance. He had an average height, and he wore an open, black track jacket with a flaming hawk emblem on the left breast, with matching collared shirt and pants. Gloves hung from his back pocket in plain view, as he looked away.
"Is something the matter?"
"Well..."
"Well?"
"I know this is quite sudden and I do not want this to be awkward...but if it is alright with you Lilth, can I live with you? My life does depend on it as well as Elizabeth's."
Elizabeth got an uneasy feeling as she looked up at Lilth, who had strangest look of being shocked and angry at the same time, and had a noticeable blush upon her face. This is getting stranger and stranger as time passes doesn't it?
