"Hmm" She thinks for a moment. "Phantasmals are often found in graveyard. I think that might be a waste of time, but" she shrugs idly. "It's your investigation. Either way, go ahead and shower if you want"
Mira turn in her phone to check time, and it seems like they have to get up. She didn't want it, but she have to. "Alex. It is time to wake up." She said to him, but men don't reacted. Mira take off his hug and striped of her shirt. Her apple breast jump, while she put on hersellf pants. Rest of her things from tomorow dry up, so she can put them. Bra and shirt without sheeves come next. Mira wrap around hersellf belts with daggers and knives, and grap her jacked. In the end, she push feet inside boots, and She was ready. She kiss in the cheak Alex and go out room, to room number one. Mira noticed that Silas still staying outside. "He didn't come to sleep?" She question hersellf. She knock to the door."Hey Sarah, Ms Hibari. May I come on?"
"Sure" Hibari shrugs as Mira knocks. Once she enters, The asian girl looks over Mira briefly. "So I heard you had a pretty harrowing day yesterday."
silas walks back into room that he and mira shared, smoking his pipe, seeing alex there he cocks an eyebrow "how much did she tell you? and I don't think we really need to go a check the cemetary but we should check out the important people in town, the preist is hiding something" silas sits and closes his eyes resting "I'm listening just resting,think I'm gonna need to avoid watch tonight"
"Yep, you call in that way." Mira said and sit before small asian, but she is in the same hight how Mira site. And Hibari wraped hersellf in nice towel, by the way. "If you want to know, I made a few mistakes of beginer. Nothing to be proud, but it happen. I shot by my daggers creature from distans, and slime fall down. But when I go to get back daggers, I don't make sure if that monster is death and... It wasn't death. And if not Silas, I will be probably raped. I know, shame on my for that. " Mira said that with any embrassed or excuses. Simply confess of mistakes." May I have question? How look like your first mission? When it was? "
For the first time in months, there was a stillness to Alexander's slumber. He did not toss and turn, hounded by visions of torn flesh and fountains of blood. No whimpers and wails of the dying, not the deafening clatter of automatic fire and the piercing screams of his friends and comrades that marked their end. His mind was free, free of pain, free of damnation. His mind's eye found itself in a windswept meadow. A tree atop a hill crowned the vision. A single bright red apple hung from its branches, daring anyone to grab it. In the shadow of the tree's wide canopy stood a young woman, blonde of hair and fair of skin, draped in a dress as white as freshly fallen snow. Alexander recognised her, it was his girlfriend, Sophie. His feet swept him towards her, longing for his lover propelling his steps. She turned to him and smiled at him as brilliantly as ever, her sky-blue eyes finding his, ‘Sascha, du hast mich wiedergefunden.[1]’ Alexander tried to speak but no words left his mouth. The brilliant spark in her eyes went solemn, ‘Schließe dein Herz nicht meinetwegen, mein Liebster.[2]’ She smiled ruefully, and lay her hand upon his heart, ‘Ich werde immer bei dir sein. Hier, in deinem Herzen. Bitte, vergiss mich nicht, aber lass mich nicht zu deiner Bürde werden.[3]’ She fell into his arms and sighed and spoke in contentment, ‘Lebe dein Leben, so wie ich Meines leben werde. Lass dich auf neue, wundervolle Dinge ein, so wie wir es immer getan haben.[4]’ She leaned back from him and smiled, ‘Ich werde dich auch nie vergessen, mein Schmusekater. Ich habe für dich geweint, Alexander, für lange, lange Tage und Wochen. Der Schmerz wird niemals ganz vergehen, aber das Leben geht weiter, immer weiter.[5]’ She stifled a whimper, ‘Ich wünschte, ich könnte es sein, die dich im Rest deines Lebens begleitet, aber leider wollte es so nicht sein.[6]’ She took a deep breath. ‘Die zwei Mädchen brauchen dich, ob als Freund oder Geliebten. Lasse sie nicht im Stich. Beschütze sie, Sascha, mit all deiner Kraft.[7]’ She looked up to the red apple on the branch, ‘Die Frucht des Lebens.[8]’ Her arm craned upward glacially and she picked the apple off the tree. She held it in her hands with reverence for a long moment, unsure she wanted to hand it off, ‘Ich wünschte, diese Frucht hätte uns gehört, aber dafür ist es jetzt zu spät.[9]’ She held the apple in her palms towards him, ‘Nimm den Apfel, Sascha, und teile ihn mit der Dame deines Herzens.[10]’ A single tear dropped from her cheek. Alexander woke from his slumber. Groggily, he looked around, finding Mira gone from his side. He smiled at the memory of her in his arms with a goofy, sleep addled smirk, half-lidded eyes betraying his fatigue. Was Mira the Lady of his Heart? Time would tell, he nodded to himself, a contented smile on his lips. 'Lebe wohl, Sophie, lebe wohl.[11]' he said farewell to his love. He only just sat up from his reclined position, when Silas walked in. Alexander rubbed his eyes from sleep, 'Hmmn, bitte was? Ah, that. Mira told me enough, Silas. I won't pry, I have enough painful memories myself to know.' Alexander shook his head, 'What's the deal between you two? Call me jealous, but is it just sex for the mission?' He sighed, 'You should've woken someone and gotten some rest, Silas. I don't think anyone is after us—yet. But do catch up on that sleep while we're not in a hurry.' Spoiler: Translation 1: Sasha, you have found me again. 2: Do not shut your heart for my sake, my most beloved. 3: I will always be with you. Here, in your heart. Please, do not forget me, but do not let me become a burden to you. 4: Live your life, as I will live mine. Try new, wonderful things, just like we always used to do. 5: I will never forget you as well, my cuddly tomcat. I have wept for you, Alexander, for long, long days and weeks. The pain will never leave completely, but live goes on, ever onward. 6: I wished it could be me, who shared the rest of your life with you, but sadly it was not to be. 7: The two girls need you, whether as friend or lover. Do not let them down. Protect them, Sasha, with all your might. 8: The fruit of life. 9: I wished, this fruit had been ours, but it’s too late for that now. 10: Take the apple, Sasha, and share it with the Lady of your Heart. 11: Farewell, Sophie, farewell.
silas slowly returns "And this is why your our leader,your a better man than I alexander,you grow attachments to the women you share your time with....I don't.there will always be a need to keep watch on missions,we were jumped by a phantasmal,it followed us.if thats not a good enough reason to keep watch I don't know what is....and anyway I'd still be the first to sense it....now which big guy in town we going after?"
Alexander coughed, 'I suppose there's some wisdom in keeping your emotional distance from people who might perish rather sooner than later, Silas.' He became melancholic, 'Perhaps we'll find out who's approach brings them the most happiness in the end.' 'I'm not sure, if the priest is suspicious it might be beneficial to shadow him for a while.' he remember long nights of doing nothing, surveying suspects in the dead of night.
"Well,more than likely it'll be yours as mine is more of a sailor who hasn't seen a woman in months, and anyways I see how you look at them, you care for them,like they are family, it's on a whole different level than mine....the priest by the way he was definently was hiding something....did we get any leads on the wiccans?
Alexander pursed his lips, the memory of a lost love still lingering, 'Maybe one of them and I would be happy for a while Silas, but should something happen to them after that. I'm not sure I could bear that.' 'Of course, I care for them, Silas. They are people severed from all that they ever knew or cherished just like you and I. I've always been far too involved in these things. Street urchins, juvenile delinquents, the single father who robbed a store to feed his son. They always remind me of myself, at a younger age. It broke my heart everytime to see a person reduced to their weakest and most vulnerable.' 'Mira was like that, just before we went to sleep. I'll have to talk to her again, soon. We really ought to ask how the association handles hunter's pregnancies. With the mandatory sex to recharge magical abilities, there must've been countless cases, I dare not even think how many due to demons.' he stood from Mira's bed. 'Are you going to sleep now? Or do you want to see how the others are doing?' he held up his hand to Silas questioningly.
Hibari grimaces. A bit of a haunted expression on her face. "I'd really rather not talk about that..." Then Alexander's question distracts him. "Many decide to abort. Those who don't believe in that have their kids sent to an Association-Run adoption center where they are educated and eventually find foster families. Hunters who want to keep their kids and raise a family after they leave the Association also have their kids sent to the adoption center to be raised and nurtured, but have a stay put on them so they can't be adopted. It's a complicated process and The Association tries to accomodate what you want as much as possible."
"I don't need to sleep now just don't expect me to be at my best.the tobacco helps me stay awake,if you ever want some I've got an extra pipe. Damn....well if that ever happens to any of you I'll lend a hand helping taking care of them so ya'll can go on the missions and not worry"
"Oh, bad memories? I'm sorry, of course you don't have to tell me. At lenght we know ourself too short. Sorry that I asked." Mira think a while and asked next question, to nearly naked mentor. "But can you tell me, what I should do if slime catch me? Hit my body on the tree, or use dagger? You know, how to survive this." Mira take one of daggers and show to Hibari. "Where hit, to get the best effect? "
Alexander smiled a faint smile at Silas, surpised but pleased that the man who thought himself unable to form attachments would be willing to help anyway, 'Danke, Silas. You are more like me than you realise, I think. We'll make you a softy yet with our stupid emotions rubbing of on you.' 'Na, if you are still good to go: we go over there,' Alexander turned expecting Silas to follow and went to room no 1. He walked in the door, not knocking, this was his room afterall, 'Guten Morgen, alle zusammen.' He looked perplexed as Hibari stood in the room only in a towel, 'Ms Yagami, I didn't expect to see you—certainly not like this, anyway. You're welcome to stay here with us. Though, I'm surprised you didn't take your own room. Did you pick the lock by the way? I'm fairly sure we had locked the place.' He half turned away to give her some privacy but also not to have them talk to his back, 'I can come back later, but we need to make plans for the day sooner than later.'
"yea stupid emotions" silas takes his pipe and follows alexander laughing at alex's reaction to hibari "you look good ma'am!" looking hibari up and down
"Bludgeoning is better than slicing at slime creatures. To kill it you have to disperse as much of the ectoplasm as possible and knive just don't usually cut it." Hibari stands and regards all of you for a moment before grabbing her clothes. "Not every mission is going to involve investigating a town like this. In a sense it's a little hard, but you should always be wary that demons might be around...and the consequences of being defeated by them. Yesterday was just a taste and it doesn't matter how hard you try, all four of you are going to be at risk of a regrettable outcome at some point in your Hunter Career. So all that I'll say is this: After this mission ends....For better or worse. You all need to consider whether this is the job and lifestyle you want to live and whether physically" Her eyes glance at Mira briefly. "Or mentally. If you can't handle it, then get out of the organization and go find some other thing to do with your life, because if you slip up even once...you could doom all of your team." She walks over to the door with her clothes and opens it. "I'll be in Room 2 if you need me."
Mira look how japanise leaving the room, and how boys enter inside. She sigh and stand up, with smile. "Thanks you both for yours help yesterday. I feel now much better bad boys, and it is time to discussion of our next move." Sun slowly coming to room, making more light with every minute. "For started main deal: Did we split up again, to check graveyard and local autoritets, or go all tougether for more safety? The party will started in the ewenig, so we have some time to preparation." Somewhere disapper fear in her eyes, leaving in charge sureself and commands. It look like, Mira have the crisis behind her.
Alexander walked up to Mira and drew her in an intimate hug, like they hadn't seen each other for months, 'You left me all alone back there, bad girl.' He ruffled her hair a bit, 'I'm glad you're on the up-and-up, Mira.' He kissed her forehead and hugged her tighlty for a moment longer. Letting her go from his embrace, he turned to the others. Folding his arms in front of him, he said, 'We go together, Kameraden. Maybe we don't stick like glue to each other but never out of earshot, verstanden? If something happens I want all of us at the person in need o help in under thirty seconds.'
Mira let a little gasp, when Alex hug her, but quickly calm down. "You was sleeping like baby, and hard like death. I wasn't able to wake up you Olek." When Alex said his opinion, she nod. "Ok, let's do this tougether. Next question is where are we going? I think we should speak with the rest of local autoritet, before we tried again with priest. Ewen if he have something behind ears, we didn't have any proof against him. We need more information. "
