Lilith looked out at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but feel... happy. For the first time in these few months she heard Emilia's laugh as she was in the water with Road. They were splashing each other and Lilith couldn't help but join them. Though in the back of her mind she could feel the sadness of Innocence and she knew this would have to end soon; though she didn't tell any of the Noah of this yet.

They spent their time at the beach building gigantic sand castles, swimming, and sun tanning. Though, when the sun went down Emilia was tired and Lilith was forced to leave this beautiful day behind and store it in her memory bank.

Lilith knew Tyki was here but she never actually saw him since they exited the carriages and she saw him with the Earl and Lulubell. She had to admit she felt a bit... well she didn't know what to call this feeling of seeing Tyki away from her and not even acknowledging her.

When they entered the hotel Road grew on a devious smile and asked, "Daddy I want to have a random room assignment!"

Sheryl blushed at his daughter, smiled, and said, "Well we'll have to ask the Duke if he wishes to do this but I'm sure he'll say yes. Oh and there the rest of our group is right now."

Road let go of Lilith and Emilia's arms, which had been interlocked with her own since they left the beach, and ran up to the Earl and tackle hugged him saying something the standing trio didn't hear. The Earl laughed and Tyki and Lulubell looked a little... shocked? Worried? Lilith couldn't read their expressions.

Sheryl smiled and said, "I guess that means the Duke agreed to Road's idea. I guess I'll get the paper and pen." And he went and came back with little folded sheets of paper and said as the rest of the Noah's came over to them, "Pick a number and whoever has a matching number, rooms with the other."

When everyone picked a sheet of paper and Road said, "On three show your number. One. Two. Three!" and everyone put their number, which they all looked at already, facing the rest of the group. Road smiled and said, "I'm rooming with Emilia and Daddy!"

Lilith looked for her number and blushed a deep red when she noticed her number was the same as Tyki! Everyone must've noticed that the two would be rooming with each other because they all looked away with devious smiles on their faces and said things to the effect of, "Have a good night" or "See ya tomorrow!" or "Don't stay up all night!"

And all who were left in the lobby was Lilith and Tyki. Tyki smiled and said, "Wasn't it just a day or two ago you and I shared a room?"

Lilith laughed nervously, "Yes we did but..." Lilith couldn't continue. To her the first time wasn't that bad because she was so soaked up in the surrounding hotel, but this time she wasn't absorbed in the surroundings; which meant she knew just how indecent this was this time around.

Tyki laughed and then put a hand on her shoulder and said, "Come on, it's getting late and I'm tired."

Lilith nodded and they headed off to their room, which, ironically, was the one they stayed in before. Lilith headed, with her bag, into the bathroom and said, "I might be a while." And shut the door.

Her blush came back with vengeance when she thought that they would be sleeping in the same room. She shook her head and thought, "I really need to clear my head." And she started up the tub.

Snake-Lilith laughed "Oh how it is to have someone you love." The laugh came again.

"Oh shut it. It's not like me above teasing." She replied as she removed her clothes and stepped into the silky warm waters. "Besides, I don't even like him much less love him!"

Snake-Lilith laughed and shook her head, "Ignorance is truly bliss."

Lilith didn't respond to that because she was busy trying to get the soap, she just applied to her hair, out of her eye. When that was done she rinsed out her hair, scrubbed down the rest of her body with soap, and then washed that off, before stepping out and wrapping herself into a towel.

She shivered at the contrasting temperatures, from the tub and then room temperature, as she finished drying herself off. She then dressed into a simple, and covering, white night gown and exited, with her things, out the bathroom door.

She noticed Tyki was sitting on a bed and she said, "You're turn."

She walked past him, put her things on the bed, and then dove under the covers.

Lilith woke up in the middle of the night, sat up, and walked to stand on the balcony. She looked to her right and saw Snake-Lilith doing the same thing. She smiled at her inner demon, "I guess this is a dream."

Snake-Lilith smiled back and replied, "Yes it is. I thought it was nice to have our alone time away from all the responsibilities."

Lilith smiled and then looked out at the nightscape of the town, "Well before us time I have to ask how far the Exorcist is."

Snake-Lilith looked at Lilith and as plain as day she said, "Four Exorcists will most likely be here by tomorrow."

Lilith nodded and said business like, "I'll make sure to inform the Noah's of that. Now, "she switched to a happier tone, "what shall we do?"

Snake-Lilith laughed and said, "How about we take a walk on the beach. It's been a while since I had my feet in the sand."

Lilith nodded and said, "So... since this is a dream can I do whatever I want like float, and make this appear that were never there before?"

Snake-Lilith nodded and then they both jumped off the balcony and flew in the air. The air gently went through their hair and their clothes. The chill night air felt wonderful blowing against their skin.

When they dropped down on the beach the cool sand felt like heaven in between Lilith's toes. She kicked the sand and saw it cascade through the air and onto the sand in front of her. She laughed and Snake-Lilith tried the same thing. Lilith then thought how long ago Snake-Lilith had actually had the ability to frolic on the Earth as she was now.

Snake-Lilith then grabbed Lilith's hands and spun around with her, both laughing. The song 'Ring a Round the Rosie' then poured out of their mouths and at the all fall down they fell to the sand laughing. Lilith was the first to sit up and pointed out, "This isn't like you usually are Lilith. What's up?"

Snake-Lilith smiled and said, "I usually act like this when I'm doing something I enjoy with people I like to be around." She sat up, "And you are my favorite out of my vessels I had so far."

Lilith smiled and said, "Well it may not mean anything but you're my favorite inner demon." Both girls laughed, and ran through the chilly waters; jumping waves when they felt like it.

Before long Snake-Lilith laughed and said, "Well I failed at what I meant to do today, but maybe there is still time."

Lilith looked at her confused, "What are you talking about?"

"Remember the innocent turned dark matter? I was meant to teach you how to use it and other weapons tonight, but I guess because of the fun I'll only be able to teach you the gun blade safely." Snake-Lilith then picked herself and Lilith up and put her forehead to Lilith's, saying, "This may hurt a bit, but it's the fastest and easiest way to learn how to wield this weapon."

Lilith was about to ask what she was talking about until a pain erupted in her head and images flashed before her eyes and her muscles felt like they were moving beneath her skin. She wanted to fall back in pain but Snake-Lilith's iron grip held her rooted in her spot.

Snake-Lilith said something and then sounds of different origins filled her ears which overloaded her senses, and just when she thought it was over she felt all kind of tastes invade her mouth, and all kinds of feelings run along her skin.

They all then ended suddenly and not feeling anything after who knows how long was even worse than not feeling anything at all. Snake-Lilith finally let her go and Lilith crashed to the ground seizing uncontrollably in pain. She felt soft, almost nonexistent hands pick her up and she was floating in the air next to Snake-Lilith who looked worried, which surprised Lilith.

Lilith smiled in reassurance and Snake-Lilith said, "When you wake up in the real world you won't feel any more pain. In fact you feel stronger than ever before. When I know you have a few days without interference I'll have to do the same but with all weapons possible, which will be a lot more painful."

Lilith nodded and looked into Snake-Lilith's eyes and smiled again before closing her eyes and falling into the best slumber she felt in a long time.

Her slumber ended before she cared for it to, but it did and she felt arms encircling her. They felt comfortable so she didn't care; she was just glad the pain wasn't there anymore. Though then as reality began to invade her mind she wonder just who it could possibly be. Maybe it was Emilia, but she was most likely up at this early in the day; her internal clock said it was just after sunset.

She then thought it could be Road, but she didn't think that girl would come in and be as quiet, with arms as large as these. Reality then smacked her eyes wide open when she knew the only possibility.

She looked to her right and none other than Lord Tyki Mikk was sleeping soundly pressed up against her. Her entire face turned ruby and she nearly fainted thinking of just how long he was there.

She looked at the man sleeping next to her and tried to move out of his grip but he just wouldn't let go. It was like he was holding so tightly to her so she wouldn't move away from him. Another question came to her mind... how the HELL was he still sleeping with all her moving around and thrashing about trying to get out of his iron grip.

She looked away from him and thought, "If this is how he held me while he was sleeping, I feel bad for any toys he slept with as a child." All of a sudden she felt being pulled closer and his face muzzled into her hair; which drew her out of her thoughts and blush deep crimson once again.

She tried her luck at trying to get away again but this time she heard a grunt of awakening and looked back at him, still crimson, and asked, "Could you please let go of me Tyki?"

Tyki looked at her with tired eyes, but didn't let go. Instead he turned her around and looked into her eyes until he woke up fully and his eyes full of worry. He lessened his grip and then replied, "You were shaking so horribly last night that I had to come over here and hold you so wouldn't hurt yourself. What the hell happened?"

Lilith smiled and said, "Lilith was teaching me how to use the gun blade."

Tyki frowned and then moved his face just inches away from hers and said, "I was so worried."

He started to move closer to her and Lilith asked, panicked, "What are you-"

But she was cut off by...
