The Tranquility Of Solitude

"Stop being an arse" Kaminari laughed. She pulled Naka out of the water and grabbed Aiden's cloak and wrapped it around her. "You don't have to do this anymore if you don't want to." She stated calmly.

Naka was shaking under the cloak. Her face was bright red, and Aiden's smell was driving her crazy. '...blood and...um...' She blushed harder and hid her face with the cloak.

"I'm not an arse. I'm just badass. Now, Naka, don't be like that." He walked out of the water, shaking the water out of his hair. Good for him, the mechanical eye was water proof. He squatted in front of Naka, and smirked, as if he was about to do something evil. "Gimme my cloak."

Kaminari pushed Aiden straight back into the water "Ok Mr. badass...don't annoy me...I know you own her and whatnot but I'm not gonna sit and watch you torture the poor girl" Kaminari said laughing slightly. She rubbed Naka's arms trying to warm her up a bit.

Naka immediately clung to Kaminari, shivers going along her own arms. "Danna, turn around, I gotta put m-my clothes on..."

"Nah, don't worry, Naka." Aiden didn't turn around, his mechanical eye turning leaf green. He was staring right at Naka as he clicked his fingers. Two succubi appeared, and gently slipped the cloak off Naka. Aiden watched, his hand covering more than half his face. The demons then put Naka's clothes on her, strangely drying her clothes. "..." Aiden kept silent, his face still hidden.

"I wish I knew what the hell was going on" Kaminari laughed. "God it's cold." She said grinning at Naka "You ok now?" She asked sounding slightly concerned.

Naka nodded and turned away from Aiden. It was extremely...awkward. Aiden sneezed and got out of the water, his pants sticking to his muscled legs. He frowned when Naka didn't want to look at him. "Hey, hey. Naka?" He put a hand on her shoulder and Naka jumped. She glomped Kaminari, her eyes resembling a scared animal's. "..." Aiden lowered his hand and looked down, using his hand to dry himself with Katon ninjutsu. He put on his shirt and laid the cloak, folded in half, on his arm. "Naka, you alright?" It was his soothing big-brother voice.

"I find it rather awkward that i'm the only one still in underwear" Kaminari laughed trying to lighten the mood. She Stood up dragging Naka up with her and looked around. "What the hells happened to my dress...?" She said sounding confused.

The succubi held out Kaminari's dress, magically (okay, maybe not) dry. "..." Aiden took a few steps back from Naka, hoping to decrease her unease. Naka hid her face by Kaminari's shoulder, her face as pink as Sakura's hair. "...I'm...embarrassed because Danna-sama saw me in my underwear..." The succubi 'aww'-ed together, their long pale fingers still holding Kaminari's dress. Their light purple wings flapped behind them, levitating them a few inches off the ground.

"Thanks" Kaminari said taking the dress from the succubi. "Aw don't be at least you're in clothes now" She said quietly to Naka laughing. She gently removed Naka's arms from around her and slipped on her dress then looked at Aiden "Thanks...I think..."

Naka pointed at Aiden, still not looking him in the eye. "He stares...And this is just the first time..."

"First time? Uh. Yeah. Yeah, it is." Aiden scratched the back of his head, tinges of faint pink on his cheeks. 'First time in public, that is...' "Hm? Oh, yeah, no prob." He clicked his fingers again, and the succubi disappeared, but not before blowing air-kisses to Naka and Kaminari.

"AWWW HOW CUTE ARE THOSE THINGS!!" Kaminari squeeled. "Anyway what the hell...paedo!! Stop making the poor girl uncomfortable!!" Kaminari scolded.

"Sor-ree." Aiden rolled his eyes and put on his cloak, buttoning it up to the top.

"Kaminari-san...what's a paedo?" Naka looked at Kaminari, a confused look on her face.

Kaminari gave Aiden a dirty look then turned back to Naka and laughed to herself. "Well....let's just say someone thats a bit sick in the head." she told Naka grinning at her.

"Danna-sama's sick?!" Naka ran over to Aiden and began inspecting him. "Fever? Sore throat? Headache?"

Kaminari just laughed and smiled to herself "Such an innocent little child" She said aloud grinning.

"Hm?" Naka looked back at Kaminari, her hand still on Aiden's forehead, comparing his temperature with hers. "Who's innocent?"

Aiden sighed and removed Naka's hand. "I'm perfectly fine, hon. She meant I was sick in the head, mind-wise."

Naka was so shocked she was frozen for a few seconds. Then she hugged him tight, crying chibi tears. "Uwaaaaa! My poor Danna!"

Kaminari laughed again grabbing at her boots. She put them on thenpicked up the knife she'd found from before. "Ooooh I forgot about this..." She said quietly to herself.

"Ah! Kaminari-san, what do you think that knife was used for?" Naka stopped crying, but still held onto Aiden's waist.

"hm" Kaminari looked up at Naka who was looking at her. "Oh..er..could have been anything. It doesnt really look like a knife someone would use to eat though..." She said slowly whilst running her finger along the razor sharp blade.

Naka let go of Aiden and he snarled softly. It was a long time since he felt her on him like that... She walked over to Kaminari and poked the knife. Blood pooled into a little rose petal-shape on her skin. Aiden covered his nose and mouth, but was unable to keep from eyeing Naka up and down, as if she were a delicious desert he couldn't have. Naka looked at Kaminari, sucking her finger. "...did someone come here to commit suicide for something he shouldn't have? Or was there a murder?" She sounded partly interested, as the subject of death would always do to her.

"Maybe...who knows? Well anyway i'm gonna keep it" Kaminari said pushing the knife into her boot. "Ok well you two can do whatever you want but I think i'm gonna go for a wander" She said smiling sweetly at both of them. She strapped her katana back onto her back and began to slowly walk away.

"Okay, b-but, can I join you?" Naka tagged along, holding onto Kaminari's arm. 'DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE WITH HIM!!!' Aiden snarled and walked with her, his hand around Naka's waist and his hip pressed against hers.

Kaminari laughed. "Sure, is he always this creepy towards you?" She asked laughing to herself. Kaminari continused to walk; she headed in the direction opposite to the way she arrived.

"Not creepy..." '...just touchy-feely...' Naka squeezed Kaminari's arm, blushing as Aiden pulled her closer. He loved teasing/torturing her. The more she wanted distance, the closer he got. "...Danna, what are you touching?"

"Nothing, nothing...where the hell are you dragging me off to?"

"Do you find the more you try to make him stop he does it more?...if you do I get what hes doing..." Kaminari whispered to Naka. "Aiden...no-one said you had to come...and I have no idea where i'm going...i'm just wandering." She told him, grinning at him.
