《The First Demon》Chapter 7

Before Lilith could blink she realized that Tyki and she had already landed. She looked around and noticed that they were already in some town which she didn't recognize. Tyki then coughed and Lilith looked back up at him and blushed when she noticed that she had wrapped her arms around his waist when they first took off.

She immediately jumped back and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize."

He smiled and said, "It wasn't bad having a beautiful woman cling onto me, but I had a feeling that you would find it shameful."

Lilith blushed even more and turned away from him asking, "So what are you going to do here?"

She could hear him chuckle from behind and then say, "I have to collect some innocence. You just have to stand out of my way and watch."

She nodded and then felt a hand on her shoulder. When she looked back Tyki was smiling and said with a laugh, "I was only teasing."

She smiled but the blush was still bright on her face and she asked, "So how does one find innocence?"

He removed his and from her shoulder and turned towards the now setting sun and said, "Well for one thing we should find a place to stay because it'll be dark soon here."

Lilith nodded and he started to walk away and she followed. They were soon at this fancy hotel that looked bigger than Lilith had ever seen. And when they walked in she was nearly stopped in awe of how it looked. It was so elegant and so... wow that she felt out of place. But...when she looked and Tyki he fit right in with all the noblemen and women that were sitting in the lobby drinking fancy drinks, and eating tiny sandwiches.

She followed obediently behind Tyki, but even though she had gotten used to going to places like this with Emilia this was the next five levels. Lilith didn't know what was going on; she didn't realize that she was already at their room until she heard Snake-Lilith say, "Snap out of it Lilith, you're in your room."

She blushed when she realized that she was stepping into the room and only realizing it then. She noticed two, large, separate canopy beds in an equally large room and there was even a separate living area and a balcony with a small table for two on it.

She stepped out on the balcony and out stretched her arms and took a deep breath of the cool night air, but then a sadness erupted in her chest and tears spilled from her eyes.

She then asked out loud to anyone wanting to answer, "What is this feeling?"

Tyki must've heard and asked, "What feeling?"

But Snake-Lilith answered so only Lilith could hear, "There's Innocence in this town."

Lilith conveyed that information to Tyki and he smiled saying, "And here I thought you would only be able to observe, you're most helpful Lilith."

She smiled at him and wiped the tears away from her eyes but they just wouldn't stop coming.

She asked, "So Tyki, I guess you should go find it now."

"No I'll wait for the morning. Besides I'm tired and I bet you are as well." He then headed in and she looked after him. He went into the bathroom (which was also large and in another separate part) and she guessed it was to get changed which made her blush when thoughts of him changing came to mind.

She shook the thoughts away and replaced them with what she was going to wear. She didn't think about packing when she was first told to go with Tyki because she thought it be a quick job. She let out a sigh and crossed her arms on the balcony rail.

Her tears had stopped but the sadness was still there when she asked Snake-Lilith what that was about she replied, "It's because of how I feel when I think or feel Eve's presence. And that means anytime an Innocence user is near you'll feel this way."

She heard a door open and guessed it was Tyki finally finish changing and when she looked back she saw him in a white long sleeve shirt and white long pants, but his ruffled shirt was opened and his lean, muscled chest was revealed. She blushed even more and nearly gave herself whiplash to look away.

She heard his laugh and then arms wrapped around her and his head rested on her shoulder laughing, "You like what you see."

She blushed even more and had to admit she did, but she was too taken aback to answer. He laughed as if sensing her distress and said, "Well I managed to remember to get some night clothes for you too while I was packing. There're in the bathroom."

He let go of Lilith and she ran to the bathroom and quickly shut the door, leaning against it. She put her hand to her mouth and slid to the floor. Never before had she felt like this. A good unknown feeling was raging war with deep sadness within her and she was confused to tears, literally.

She then looked over to the tub and draped over it was a modest looking white night gown. She looked at it and noticed it was simple too and had a ruffled, slight, V-neck collar that stopped just at her collar bone. She quickly undressed, slid it on, and took a peek with her head out the door.

Snake-Lilith's laughter slid into her mind as she said, "Aww, is my little Lilith in love?"

"What? No I'm not just embarrassed," Lilith replied as she went to the bed Tyki wasn't already sleeping in.

When she got on the bed she completely covered herself under the covers and fell asleep.

She woke up, out of habit, before the sun was raised and started to get ready for her day. She noticed Tyki wasn't in the room but she did notice draped over her the end of her bed was a blue dress so simple yet beautiful it was hard to explain more than that other than it was in style.

She headed to the bathroom and shut the door and changed into it before heading out for another look out the balcony. It was a beautiful day and for the first time she noticed that they had a view of the seashore. She let out a sigh of sadness due to the innocence user being here and the fact that she would have to leave without going to the beach.

Lilith had always wanted to go to the beach, and sadly this was just another missed opportunity. Thoughts of the beach led to thoughts of Emilia and how she had wanted to go to the beach, and then to thoughts of how Emilia was doing and if she was eating enough, and if she wondered where Lilith was.

Lilith mentally shook her head and laughed thinking that even when she was trying to relax thoughts of Emilia popped up; Lilith really was like a mother hen. She then turned back and Tyki walked in with a tray filled with several breakfast items.

He smiled at her and said, "I thought you'd be hungry, and would want to eat before we left to find the innocent user."

She smiled at him and said, "Thank you Tyki."

He placed the tray on the balcony table and pulled out a chair for her. She sat down and then he did and they started to eat. It wasn't long till they were both done and out of habit Lilith started to clean up, until Tyki grabbed her hand.

He smiled with laughter in his eyes and said, "Let room service get it."

She laughed and said, "Oh right. I forgot for a minute there."

"Now we should get to that Innocence user. Any idea where they are?" Tyki asked.

She quickly asked Snake-Lilith and she responded through Lilith's mouth, "The sadder Lilith feels the closer the person is."

Lilith then became control of her own mouth once again and asked, "And how will I tell one of them in a crowd of people?"

Tyki answered this time, "They all wear black uniforms with the Black Order insignia on them."

Lilith laughed and said, "Oh right. I forgot about that. I remember hearing about that."

Tyki smiled and then said, "Now if you're ready we can get going."

Lilith smiled and said, "I'm ready."

Tyki nodded and then they both headed out the door. Lilith took the lead and noticed that some people were giving her strange looks, and she wondered what they were looking at. Then the sudden realization dawned on her as she realized that her eyes were what they were looking at. How could she have forgotten about her eyes?

Lilith then thought it must've been because she's been with people who haven't seen a problem with them. She closed her eyes like she had all her life, to see but not have them be seen, and then felt sad. But it wasn't the sadness of innocence; it was the sadness of knowing one doesn't belong.

But it was soon replaced by surprise when Tyki placed a hand on her shoulder and said, "Open your eyes. Don't let these humans make you hide something so beautiful."

She smiled and felt warm inside as she opened her eyes and the tears poured out. An Innocence user was near because the sadness was almost unbearable. She looked to where the sadness seemed to originate and headed that way. When she got to the top of the small hill she saw a black coat with the Back Order insignia, and pointed to them.

"Alright. You stay here and observe. I'll be back soon." Tyki said and then he walked to the town.

Lilith hugged herself and fell to her knees; the sadness was just too much to handle by oneself. But she didn't stop looking away from Tyki because her job here was observation and she wanted to do it well.

Then what she saw next surprised her. Tyki went right up to the user and grabbed them by the neck and went through a building with them. She couldn't see what happened next but Tyki came back with something of a scary happy look on his face and something in his hand.

When she got a look at what was in his she saw it looked like a shining cube inside two interlocked, shining gears.

"That guy had Innocence on him, here take it, and turn it into dark matter." Tyki said seemingly back to himself.

He handed her it and the Innocence began to burn in Lilith's hands as Snake-Lilith took over. The Innocence then began to glow black and it turned into a gun blade (1)! Lilith looked at it and saw the blade looked like it had some intricate designs of fire on it but the fire seemed to move when she looked at it. And every part of it was a shining ivory color.

Lilith felt her lips curve into a smile as Snake-Lilith said, "It's a good thing I know how to use one of these."

Tyki smiled and said, "Yes but does Lilith?"

"No but I can teach her while she sleeps. Can't I Lilith." Snake-Lilith asked.

Lilith nodded and Snake-Lilith smiled wider, "She agrees. Now I'll be taking this back with me into her mind, but make sure she stays safe Tyki."

Tyki laughed and said, "If I've care for her safety so far do you think I'd stop now?"

Snake-Lilith laughed and put the tip of the gun blade to her chest and stabbed it through! But instead of it killing her it just got absorbed. Tyki looked shocked as Lilith took over, but smiled and said, "Well mission accomplished."

Lilith stood up and followed Tyki back to the hotel and when they got to their room she asked the question that was on her mind the whole walk back, "What did you do with that person?"

Tyki smiled and said, "He was just a human, and a problem to my family." Then he quietly packed.

Lilith looked at him and asked again a little more nervous, "What did you do to him?"

Tyki stopped what he was doing and smiled at Lilith, "I killed him."

1 Well incase you're wondering what a gunblade is look up 'gunblade' and you'll see what they are. I'm too lazy to write what it looks like lol
