|| Devil on my Shoulder || Faith Marie ||
The whole trick of letting Yui go home worked and the girl was sobbing, in tears, knowing that her only place to return to now was Ikebukuro. Raven hadn't done it, but she had spies keeping an eye on Odaiba. Usually it was just in case Enforcers were on the attack so she could warn the Freedom Fighters but this time she let it happen, curious to see what the Black Reaper would do. Xavier managed to get everyone out safely, though her spies said that it was legendary to see an all out fight between Ronan and Aria as she bought time for Leo to transfer all of their equipment. Yui seemed to try to escape out of despair but she wouldn't, Raven wouldn't let her. "I'm your only safe space." She whispered into Yui's ear. "Only I will protect you now." There was no one else, why couldn't Yui see that?
After they were back in Ikebukuro and Yui recovered from the mild sedative, she expressed a desire to learn how to speak. "Let me do it." Mizuki said with a strange, unreadable smile. "I'm sure you have other things to do." No, Raven wasn't just going to let
Once again Raven was left with no choice but to dance like a puppet whose strings were being pulled. Maybe ten minutes later mindless slaves brought a book of phrases for Mizuki to read to Yui, as well as a pen and paper. "Let's learn our own way, free from a book." Mizu smiled, taking scrap paper and she began to neatly write kanji on it, sounding it out for Yui to hear. "Repeat after me." She instructed. "A puppet dances to her master's strings." She enunciated everything slowly and deliberately to let the Cocoon hear how everything was supposed to be worded. "Who's there, the person asked, are you there? Do you hear me?" Her violet eyes were fixated on Yui as if carefully watching for her reactions.
"Two people in a world full of puppets." She continued, inscribing the kanji as she spoke. "Help, do you hear me? But the puppets could not respond as they have no mouths to speak with." She wasn't sure how far along Yui was, and she wasn't entirely sure the correct way to teach someone to speak, but hopefully this would work. "Sometimes doesn't it feel like we're the only ones here, without strings on our limbs?" She stopped writing, a signal that she wasn't in teacher mode and wanted to talk. "Big sis Aria is strong." She said gently. "In fact... Fox, what are you doing tomorrow? Will you be here?" Raven's second in command looked startled as he was called out to. Orders were to ignore the violet-eyed girl but he couldn't do that, for some reason he felt compelled to answer.
"Aria has a concert at the Budokan." He said evasively. "But don't try, Raven really won't let you both go." Mizu ignored that last part. "Let's ask Raven really nicely to let us go. I'm sure if she really cares, there's no way she would say no!" And hopefully once there she could signal to Aria that they needed a rescue. Then she winced and put a hand to her heart, feeling a familiar yet painful twinge all the same. It was only small but she made sure to have emergency pills in her pocket just in case.
