Shizuo scratched the back of his head, suddenly somewhat bashful "I-I just didn't want you worrying about me..." he muttered, looking down at his feet "I've just started doing more demon hunting work, that's all..." he sighed, looking into Aqua's blue eyes with his own "Sini and Dori are going to be back soon, and well, I just wanted to help out..." he clenched a fist "I just want to make sure you're all safe, I don't want something to happen that results in me leaving you fending for yourself again..."

Aqua couldn't be mad nor happy with him, "I see..." She looks down for a moment, taking a deep breath before looking up with a soft smile. "Shizuo... Please don't put yourself in danger... If anything happened to you... I'd never forgive myself."
She reaches out and takes one of his hands in hers, "I can take care of myself and my boys just fine... Sometimes its just best to have some breathing time, true... But I need you to feel complete... I refuse to let you go around putting yourself in danger because of me..." She grasps his hand more tightly as she takes a deep breath, keeping herself calm. "I don't want to have to babysit a full grown man at all times, but I will if you keep doing things that are stupid enough to worry those whom love you the most... Your boss, your cousin, and I... We love you, so please listen when we say... Don't do anything that will kill you.... Any part of you."

As me and Neku come spinning back towards each other the feeling of looming doom dawns on me. But I can't help but laughing, I'm enjoying myself fully. That is until I can feel the rush of anger and I glance around. Yup, Angel is here.
I can feel his boiling rage.
I frown to myself.
Then stop moving completely, "Sorry... I need a moment... To sort some things out... Okay, Neku?"

I didn't know what was going on inside her head, but I could understand that she needed to sort out her tumbled feelings. Mine weren't any better; I was feeling pretty heady from that dance. So I nodded.
"Sure," I said. "No problem."
I just hoped I hadn't scared her away.

Thank you, I think to him as I smile, let go, and quickly walk in the direction of the bathrooms.

(Ang)
Nami makes her disappearance and Angel nods to himself. Knowing its now or never he walks over to Neku, "Hey." He's trying his darnest to be polite and NOT be a JA to Neku tonight... He hopes it works.

I saw him coming, and ground a mental heel into the little flicker of rage that sprung up just at the sight of him. I couldn't understand all of this aggression - I'm not that kinda guy, alright?
"Hey," I said, my voice flat, hands very deliberately casual by my side; if I'd had a belt or anything like that on, I'd have hooked them in that, but I didn't even have pockets, so I left them where they were.

Angel just give a small smile, "How is your night going." He's trying to keep the peace during this time that he can... Or at least he can feel the tension in the air. He knows that not good for a parties atmosphere. "Having a good time... I can tell the Little Miss is."

So she was right; it was indeed Sora. And he looked different, but in a good way. A really good way. Lucky for her, those thoughts didn't transmit to her face, and the expression she wore was still the same. "Could have fooled me," she gestured to his outfit, but it was his attitude that surprised her the most. It wasn't what she was expecting at all. Honestly, she hadn't expected him to show up. That didn't mean that she wasn't glad to see him though.

I grinned; I couldn't help it. "Actually? It's going great." I raised an eyebrow. "Yours?"
I didn't want to cause a fight, but I could feel the tension in the room rank up two notches.

Angel rolls his eyes, "Irritating as usual... But I can deal... I take it she finally told you all her mushy feelings then?" He smirks and shakes his head. "Did she promise you forever as well?"

My eyes narrowed, and I crossed my arms to keep from balling my hands into fists.
"She promised me nothing; she was too afraid of what might happen to her heart if she did. Even if she did, I don't see how it would be any of your business."
My voice was calm as I could make it be, but I was having to struggle even harder to keep hold of that than I had been earlier. I was told later that to those watching, it was like being in the room with two alpha wolves facing each other down; I don't know what that means, but I could feel my blood rising in response to Angel's sardonic tone. Or, at least, what I heard as sardonicism.

"Namine Joy LeBeau is my business," I reply slowly. "I am her guard and hers to command, but I am also her only loyal friend... With out me there would be no her... So I think I have every right to know what's going on between you two."

The ropes were wearing thin and fraying; at Angel's words, I felt a strand snap, and my eyes flashed to green.
"Namine Joy LeBeau is her own business. Look around you, blondie... does it seem like she's friendless to you? You're living in a delusion, Angel. She's her own person, and you can't stand that. Without you there'd be no her? Hah! Without you, Namine would be a whole lot better off. She wouldn't come to meetings hiding bruises and scars on herarms and on her mind, and we both know who put them there, like a dog marking its territory. She's not yours. We both know the truth - without Namine LeBeau, there'd be no Angel... and you'll do anythng to keep her from realizing it, because the moment you do, you've lost all your power, and you'll be nothing. Because you are nothing."
By the end of my speech, I'd taken three steps forward, my eyes narrowed in a scowl, and my teeth all but bared. I tried to squash the anger welling up as two more strands snapped, but I couldn't; my fists were clenched at my side, and I was desperately trying to keep the rage from exploding the way it had several weeks ago, when I was in Nami's apartment and I realized what Angel had been doing from the first.

Yellow eyes seem to smirk, exactly what he had hoped for, "Let me tell you, Neku... You are right... Completely correct to be exact." He crosses his arms and cocks his head to the side. "I do need her... I can't live with out her... Or at least I think I can't... But you see the thing is I can... If she were to die I could continue on, if she were to chose someone else... Well... Depends on how she views herself now doesn't it."
A small chuckle escapes him, "Now lets all be honest and fair... Neku... Its not me I'm worried about, its you... How are you going to take it when she reaps what I've sewn?"

Anger exploded in me, but I knew that that was exactly what he wanted; I'd run up against enough bullies to know when they had you on their strings. For a moment, I was lost in that surging, roiling, boiling froth, and I've been told everything in the room moved half an inch away from me.
But I kept myself from anything more than green eyes and a piercing glare, at least towards Angel.
"Poorly," I admitted in a tone void of all emotion. "SO you'd better hope to whatever god you believe in that when that happens, you're miles away from this place. Because if Namine belongs to anyone, it's me. She's mine now, Angel, mine. A second-rate, jackass, hack who's barely a quarter-blood has no place with Namine... and stands no chance against the Head of the Network. So tell me, Angel... how will you hold up when the whole country begins to hunt you down, intending to slaughter you like the pathetic demon wannabe you are? Because if you hurt Namine, I swear I will hunt you to my dying breath. Believe it."
I turned on my heel and walked away.
