As Prince heard Jean's story of what happened to his adopted daughter, Prince's eyes opened a bit wider in surprise. "Jeez..." She uttered after a bit then grinned as he continued. "Sounds like she's pretty tough." In the back of Prince's mind, she thought over her own father figure and her eyes slowly turned down before looking back up at Jean again, wiping the thoughts away and grinned again.
She chuckled a bit at Jean's response to who the fiance was. "Alright then. I'll see him when I see him, I guess." She said, figuring it was likely someone she didn't know anyway.
Prince's eyes looked away again as Jean went on about everyone working as a team and trusting each other. A sort of solemn look was in her eyes as the grin stayed on her lips. Faun did send out people in groups but he wasn't anywhere nearly as pushy on the thought of trust and working as a team. He rarely even trusted any of the hunters working with and for him anyway.
When Jean finished that statement with saying he treats everyone like his own children, Prince felt a bit uncomfortable at the thought and grinned amusingly at Jean again. "Come on, Chief, we're the same age. I'm more of a partner and friend than a child of yours." She said in a somewhat joking tone, trying to mask the fact that the thought simply made her uncomfortable.
Prince nodded at Jean saying to let him know if she needed more equipment. "Yeah, I'll let you know if I need anything." She said with a grin then leaned back a bit and took in a deep breath as she looked up, thinking for a moment. She released it as she returned to her posture before then stood. " Well, I think I'm gonna go walk around and see if I can find Hunter. Assuming he's still here. Oh, and about residence, is my old room still available?"

“She is such a fighter. She may not be physically strong but the heart that beats within her is stronger. She doesn’t have hatred toward her father due to what happened but she is determined to face him again before her wedding. There are some things she needs to clear up before she gets married…
I also know she wants to have a child so right now she is paving the way so that her child can have worried free child hood. She has a heart of a mom and she is not even expecting yet.”
“Her maternal instincts are amazing anyone that meets her just feels like she is a mom already, especially with children. She picks them up carries them around as she holds them. She even cooks and cleans here even though she doesn’t have to. Hahah she even did Hunter’s laundry but his bug friends made her scream. When you meet her I am sure you’ll feel like you have known her for years.”
“And everyone needs a fatherly figure, so when the day comes and I retire from bounty hunting I will treat you all like family still in all honesty. My retiring date is when my daughter gives me a grand baby. I will want to retire and spend time with my grand child. But we have a long way to go yet before that happens. As for Hunter he should be around here somewhere. You know him probably napping, or keeping Zero on his toes.”
“Zero is all grown up too. He still has his temper but it’s toned down a lot. Something really special happened to him and because of that he has mellowed down, and thinks much more clearly and not as reckless or a rebel. He’ll only get angry if there is an injustice or the person he holds dear is in trouble.”
Jean smiled when he gave some updates about the two bounty hunters that Prince knew. After that he sat back down at his desk and returned to doing paper work.
“I hope it all goes well when you see Hunter. I am sure he will be glad. And yes your room is sill vacant. My daughter cleaned it up though since it was getting dusty..’

A loud sound of a heavy chair being flipped over could be heard from outside, right near the reception desk where Eve was. Eve's voice could also be heard, a mix of anger and worry all at the same time with her scream. A male voice echoed, but it's too incoherent to be heard properly from inside Jean's office. "I told you, boy. I TOLD YOU!" Hunter's voice was probably the clearest one out of the rest of the loud voices.
He just got back from a mission with Zero, and they're being as loud as usual returning to the headquarters. "See? Just because you know their background, doesn't mean you should ignore what I told you. You don't know their arsenal of weapons, Zero, so STOP doing things on your own!" Hunter has Zero's arm over his shoulder, trying to assist the bleeding boy through the building to reach the connecting infirmary at the back.
The boy had been shot on the leg, and he's leaving a trail of his blood on the floor as he was rushed towards at the back. As usual, that spitfire of an idiot got mad at being helped on, so the boy was trashing things around as Hunter dragged him through the hallways. The floor is always decorated with blood anyway. "God damn you, STAY STILL!" His holler is loud enough to echo the whole building, along with Zero's screams and yells. Soon, they finally reached the infirmary, where Hunter dumped Zero in with a throw on the sick bed.
"If I could shoot you a friggin' tranquilizer, I will." He said with a scowl to the boy before leaving the infirmary briskly and leave it to the nurses to treat that idiot. He's been going around calming Zero all the time for years but Hunter had never once been the one that's pissed off. Now, his patience is close to its capacity, all these years of holding it back is seriously threatening to burst out of him.
The only way he knows that he could vent it out with, is by smoking.
So he hurried off out of the headquarters, the back door snapping close with a metallic slam once he had got out, and Hunter made his way through the alleyways swiftly. There's a place he always goes to whenever he wants to just relax, and finally, he had reached it. Swerving out of the dark alleyway, the man leaned himself against the wall with a tired exhale.
"Fucking incredible...." He growled once he popped out his box of cigarette, only realizing that he has a single one left. Without wasting his time, Hunter just popped that last one in between his dry lips and lightens it up. Taking a much needed drag on his cigarette, the man held it in for a moment before expelling the smoke out slowly. 'Damn idiot, you're getting freakin' married soon, what the hell is he thinking charging in the fray like a pack of bull, goddamn..'
Inhaling the smoke deeply, Hunter shook his head while reaching his hand up to take off his hat. There's a broken fence beside him, so he simply hanged the hat on the fence and just leans his head against the wall. The particular area he's at isn't an alleyway, it's actually quite open where no buildings has been built. There's a long metal fence in front of him, stretching for miles all around the headquarters and the buildings of the same ground, and beyond that fence is a deep depression hollowed out of the solid earth. It's so huge and dark, people around here called it the hollow of a black hole.
The hollow had been there for years, almost like a giant comet had fallen there and dug deep into the earth till darkness enveloped the whole thing. It's really quite beautiful once the misty fog had rolled in, creating an almost macabre look, fitting for Veyyard. Hunter finds the view rather calming, thus he usually seeks peace here. Exhaling a cloud of smoke from his lips, slight drips of rain began to fell from the darkening skies.
"Augh, just.... what the hell, Zero.." He reached a hand up to the bridge of his nose, massaging it to calm himself from the thought if he's unable to protect the kid one of these days.

[Back at the reception desk after Hunter left to go for his smoke]
Eve wasn’t too pleased by what she saw as Zero and Hunter entered HQ, she screamed yes and she even had a vulgar word pass through her lips since she wasn’t happy at all. Some of the other bounty hunters started to clean up the trail of blood Zero left behind and Eve called Mitsuko on her cellphone, sure enough though Mitsuko knew something was wrong.
“Oh Miki yeah your fiancé… He got hurt in a bounty hunt. Hunter isn’t too pleased so it looks like he dropped him off in the infirmary… This is fucking insane Miki Zero just doesn’t think and you need to snap him awake as soon as you get here and heal him. Excuse my language though I know how much you don’t like the F word Miki.”
‘Yeah and Eve now I am officially not pleased with Zero, I know getting hurt always happens but he has to be careful! What in heavens name was he thinking? No I’ll tell you. He wasn’t thinking at all. But I am not going to yell at him I think Hunter already covered that. I’m on my way home I should be there next 15 minutes or so by flight.
“So how are you going to handle your first task as his fiancé?
Stay by him, and heal his injury. I’m a nurse and an angel so I can heal Zero’s wounds instantly but then he and I will have to sit down and talk afterwards, not in argument but in a way that Zero can understand that he has to listen to his partner and his partner is Hunter, Hunter has been working so hard in caring for Zero when he was a little boy, but even he has his breaking point.
‘you know Eve one of Zero and my promises to each other was that we will always come running if one of us was in trouble. Now its time for me to come running and I am, I ALMOST home. I see HQ, so I am going to disconnect now.
Eve then heard the dial tone and she sighed.

[Mitsuko has entered through one of the back doors that leads straight to the infirmary]
The angel wasted no time to get back at HQ, even before she got Eve’s phone call she knew in her heart that Zero was hurt. Whenever anyone got hurt Mitsuko never took it lightly, but when it came to Zero it was a lot worse since she always feared that he would get killed in a bounty hunt. Zero was the person that the angel loves with all of her heart and when danger befalls Zero and is injured in the process her heartbeats go in overdrive.
When she entered the infirmary she saw the nurses treating to Zero’s wounds, but when they saw her they all stepped back because they knew Mitsuko will take responsibility for Zero from heron out. Especially since she was a nurse and an angel all in one. Her face had a worried but gentle expression as she began to tend to Zero’s wound using her healing ability, but because Zero could read her so well there was no doubt in the angel’s mind that he will notice that Mitsuko wasn’t pleased at what happened.
The nurses filled her in and then stepped out of the room so that the angel could heal Zero’s injury in private and talk to him if she needed to.
She was upset at the situation that Zero was in, but the part that made Mitsuko get upset at Zero was the fact that he didn’t listen to Hunter, and some of this could have been prevented. For Hunter to really get mad at Zero, well that is saying a lot.
The angel didn’t speak a word, she just focused on the injury that Zero has and she was glowing as she did this. She was still so very gentle in tending to Zero’s wounds but she was indeed upset. The injury healing process took a while because Mitsuko was using her ability, she even got the bullet out and put it in a cloth so that her father can examine it later to see what kind of bullet this was, and what type of gun it was used for.
Slowly she opened her eyes and looked at Zero, and spoke to him with her soft spoken voice clearly worried about him and upset that he didn’t listen, for once the angel was truly upset at Zero, but her love for him never shifted you can clearly see the love that was present in her facial expression, and because she loved him she had to have a talk with him.
She held his hand though as she spoke to him.
“Got anything to say Zero? Because now you have really worried me and upset me. I think this is the first time I am actually upset with you, not in an angry way but in a shaken up way because… I could have lost you out there! What were you thinking Zero? I don’t ever want to lose you. Do you know how much you mean to me Zero?"
And please don’t speak just listen. If I lost you my heart will be broken, and my heart will never heal Zero, do you remember how you told me that you would die if something happened to me and lose sight of yourself? … Zero if something happened to you I would be so lost. I would lose you all over again! I love you so much that I need to wake you up and make you understand that anger and carelessness are both dangerous.”
“Zero you have always woken me up when I needed your honesty and now you need mine.”
The angel made some glass shards appear in the palm of her hand.
“You see these glass shards right Zero? Well think of these glass shards as your carelessness an anger. You rush in blindly… You get hurt like this.”
Mitsuko closed her palm so tightly that the shards ended up cutting her.
“Just like anger, it can blind you and hurt those you love around you. But if you stop and think things through before you open your mouth, and listen to your partner then you will be more prepared and your wound won’t be as severe and heal faster. Watch.”
The angel’s glass shards returned to normal and her palm healed as well since there was a message to all this.
“Its dangerous Zero and it will only poison your heart, and I don’t want your heart to be poisoned I want it to be free, I want you to be alive, I want you to learn to listen better, and to slow down when you are needed to.
Please Zero. I am SCARED right now, so please don’t do this again, learn from your mistakes., we are getting married Zero I want to walk down the aisle to you and for you to see me in the pretty white dress, I don't want to be wearing black on what is supposed to be our wedding day but instead its your funeral!
you are my forever Zero so don’t screw it up by not listening to your partner on the battlefield.”
“You have put so much into your life, your life is so precious! Just like how you are precious to me.”
The angel squeezed Zero’s hand tightly, never leaving his side, and her voice broke as she spoke. She very much loves Zero and this was proof of it, because now she was speaking her mind to Zero just like he has done to her to wake her up.

Prince grinned at Jean as he talked more about his daughter. She closed her eyes a brief moment as he talked about her being a mother figure. Prince couldn't even remember her own mother since she died when Prince was still very young. She grinned back at Jean again as he finished talking about his daughter. "She sounds pretty amazing. I look forward to meeting her."
Prince grinned still at Jean, even though the topic of fathers kind of made her uncomfortable. Her grin stretched a bit as he went on about Hunter and mentioned Zero. "I'll have to find that boy later also." She said with a hand to the back of her head, looking up off the side as she thought of the little boy she treated like a younger brother of sorts.
Prince looked at Jean as he went on about Zero and how he was a lot less reckless nowadays, a surprised but pleased expression on her face. "Wow... I almost can't believe that firecracker of a kid's been mellowing out." She said with a slight chuckle at the thought.
Prince grinned again at Jean as he said that her room was still vacant. "Perfect. Thanks, Jean. And I suppose I'll have to thank your daughter for taking care of it while I was gone, too." She said, smirking slightly as she thought of making a pretty girl blush with her overflowing thanks that she would show any girl who helped her.
As Prince was about to head out to find Hunter, she paused in the middle of Jean's office as a commotion was heard outside. As she heard a loud male voice, Prince recognized it instantly and grinned at that, facing the door to the office. She couldn't hear what he was saying but she knew he was angry, which was a rare thing for Hunter. She moved towards the door and leaned against the wall beside it, closing her eyes for a moment as she listened.
At the sound of the back door slamming shut, Prince opened her eyes and grinned back at Jean again. "See you later, chief." She said then headed out of his office, closing the door again behind her without making much sound. She headed quickly out of the back door that Hunter used then calmly made her way through the alleys towards a spot she knew all too well that Hunter would go to.
Prince followed Hunter quietly and, seeing him with his hand up covering some of his face as the perfect opportunity, quietly moved in. She then leaned against the wall a few feet away from him with her arms crossed and a foot propped up against the wall. She grinned at him briefly then looked up. "What'd that boy do now, Hunter?" She said with a grin, speaking in a similar manner to how she used to whenever she followed Hunter out here. That question was also one she often asked after Zero had been reckless in some manner or other, stressing Hunter out who was the main one to take care of the boy.

Zero could vaguely recalled a scream, Hunter's to be exact, when he rushed in towards the seemingly unarmed pack of gang, only to be shot by a hidden sniper, who was later shot by Hunter.
Why did he rushed into them again? ...Was it because Hunter won't stop talking, advising, bleeding his ears out? Because he can't bear the fact that Hunter's been watching over him for years? Because he longed to do things on his own for once to try and be independent so he can prove himself to be a worthy husband soon?
So he was thrashing around in rage all the way throughout the whole trip to the headquarters. He lost a lot of blood the whole trip. Although it was only one bullet that got him, it unfortunately spilled a lot of his blood, and apparently a lot of his rage.
Zero doesn't seem to be in his right state of mind the whole time as he was raging around, he ended up killing everyone in that place, when the mission only stated that he should kill only one of them. Hunter had to tie the boy's arms together as he dragged Zero to avoid being shot to death.
By the time that Hunter threw him on the sick bed and exploded at him in the infirmary, Zero was growling like a rabid dog. The nurses who tried to heal him has difficulties that they were forced to numb his whole body before trying to treat his wound. His body finally lets down on him and he laid there, motionless, but his eyes are bloodshot and angry.
His breathing were still ragged and furious even after the nurse parted and left, leaving him with Miki, his fiance at the side of his bed. He stayed laying there, the side of his face against the used pillow, and did nothing all the while as the angel tended his wound.
His eyes are facing away from Miki even when she started speaking, he didn't want her to see how seriously angry he is at the moment, and he didn't wish for her to see his eyes now. He stayed quiet through the whole speech Miki gave him, looking to the far end of the room since his head is facing that way.
When Miki mentioned about the glass shard, he darted his one eye that's able to see her due to half his face still against the pillow and saw as she materialize a piece of glass in her hand. He can smell her bleeding when she closes her palm and his eyes widened.
"DON'T!!" He growled, despite being unable to move his body at the moment since he's so heavily numbed. Breathing through his clenched jaw, he then saw she healed herself and dropped his eyelids close with a grunt.
His eyes are close the whole time as Miki tried to reach out to him through his words, his rage is sinking him so much to the bottom that he could only hear her voice faintly, like he's underwater on the seabed and she's at the surface, the sound of her voice feels so far away.
"Time.." He gnarled through clenched teeth, trying to speak, "I need time." His voice sounded demented even, yelling but at the same time whispering. His hand is too numb to feel hers at the moment, so he doesn't even know that she's holding up. "Give me time and don't cry." That was his only request for her as he inhaled a bit of air and squinted his eyes close very tightly.
It's a good thing they numbed him or he would be holding Miki by the shoulders and shaking her to not cry and to leave him be for a while. It's been a while since he snapped like this. His biggest fear is not death, apparently, since he knows his own spirit won't allow him to die at this time. His biggest fear is himself. She's too precious for him to risk himself when he's unstable.
"I'm sorry..."

The rain began drizzling down lightly, wetting his hair and his smoke, but somehow there's something calming about it. He was so preoccupied with his throbbing head as he tries to massage the bridge of his nose, that he didn't even hear someone approaching him.
It was until that frighteningly familiar voice ring up in his ears that he snapped open his eyes. Dropping his hand and immediately turning his whole body to face the source of the voice, Hunter's jaw opened slowly that his cigarette fell, brushed against his shirt and landed on the wet ground.
Hunter couldn't believe his eyes. His voice is climbing up his throat but it kept getting itself stuck there that only short noises like all the 'urk's and 'guh's flew out of his opened lips. His eyes focuses on the matching blue eyes she posseses, darting between both of them in speechless surprise.
"..What..." His tongue finally works, and that's the only word he could utter at the moment. His eyes finally blinked and he began to look downwards now, to her clothes, to how she's leaning on the wall like her usual style, and then back up to her amazingly beautiful face with the raindrops accentuating her fair skin. The rain is so not helping.
"You've came back and the first thing you asked me is of that kid..?" He cannot believe his voice is wavering, so he laughed to let out his voice full blast and continued with more control.
"I'm glad to see they've grown well from the last time I see them." Hunter chuckled, his eyes are set at her breast as if speaking to her body rather than Prince herself. All for the sake of teasing her. His eyes darted up to her face next and supported a grin up his lips, "Please tell me you miss me as much as I miss you."

This angel loved Zero so much that she just allowed him to yell at her since deep down he was angry, but she needed him to hear her and she wasn’t going to leave his side-- not just because of their promise, and not just because of her love for him. But also because of her vows that she had begun to write on a lone piece of paper. Even though they weren’t married yet she wanted to start to upholding these vows early. Mitsuko could remember when they reunited a year ago they developed a spiritual marriage.
Now their marriage was going to become much more real when she walks down to him, and becomes his wife. She was upset at Zero but that would never ever sway her feelings, she was always going to be there with him. A part of her vows that she had started to write said that she was going to be there by his side and take care of him when he’s sick. Right now he was injured and angry and here was his fiancé sitting by his bedside keeping a hold of his hand tightly.
The angel kept her tears in check respecting Zero’s words, and she remained strong for him. She never wanted to lose him because let’s face it, she will die if she lost Zero and Zero will die if he lost her—They both kept each other alive. They are each other’s lifelines. This time the angel had come running when she felt Zero in trouble.
This reminded her of another promise they made when they spent time together during one of their indoor date nights, and she told Zero that she was always near and not to worry. She was not going to walk out of this infirmary. She didn’t care how long it took for Zero to feel stable again she was going to be there and she was going to stay in this exact spot. Because of Zero’s anger she didn’t harp anymore on her speech; she just spoke her mind once and was going to allow it to sink into his head.
Mitsuko wasn’t going to rub salt on a wound but she was going to remain by his side no matter how silent they are to each other. She closed her eyes and just let her warm feelings of love hug him. When Zero apologized she slowly opened her eyes again and she spoke with her gentle tone that Zero had always known.
“Babe you know better then this, you’re smart. I do forgive you because I love you so much, and we all make mistakes but I got scared. We share a fear Zero. Losing the other but you gave me the encouragement I needed to speak my mind and it so happened that I needed to speak my mind to you, but I am not leaving you. What did I tell you that night during our indoor date I told you that I will stay with you, because again I love you and we all need someone that understands us and stands by us.
“You know Zero despite our mistakes yours and mine we never love each other less. When you gave me that locket, which I have on right now and never took it off unless to take a look at your picture inside it… This locket is a symbol of your commitment and fidelity to me, even before we got engaged. So even if we have our disagreements or if one is upset at the other I love you.”
The angel slowly moved closer on the edge of her chair and leaned in and kissed Zero’s cheek.

Now he remembers why. The moment Miki leaned in to kiss his cheek, his eyelids fluttered up and stayed widened like that, revealing his bloodshot eyes clearly. Now he remembered why he was pissed off so badly in the first place, his rage could even explode his short-term memory bank.
But after staying static and not moving or breathing for a few seconds, Zero can retrieve the memory his rage had blinded him from.
"They said I'm a demon...." he whispered out so lowly, its berely even audible. "They whispered it in my head....." By how eerily deep his voice sounded, one would thought Zero in insane with just hearing his tone of voice.
"They accused me....because I'm marrying you, I'll turn out like--" his voice stopped short, unable to voice out the name he wanted to speak of. "......Like your father.." Like Kouji, they whispered in his head. Like Kouji Himura, exactly like Kouji Himura.
He was a human, they said, and he married an angel, Mitsuko's mother. Power corrupted him because an angel is too pure for a human being, they cackled in his head. A human can never be with an angel, the difference is too large, it will never last, they mocked.
Zero face jerked sidedays to look at Miki, his eye twitching at the serious mental breakdown that the people he faced had inflicted upon him. "They said I'm a demon..." he whispered to her, nearly crying. "B-because I'm going to take the only th-hing that they value you as the angel.."
'Her purity!' Zero can still remember how the voice screamed in his head. 'How can she stay an angel to us when she's not pure anymore, demon?! You're even fantasizing of taking it from her, you filthy beast! You're stealing our only hope! DEMON!' Zero shuts his eyes tightly when he remembered those voices that surrounded him earlier before he snapped.
There were so many voices around him, around his head, he couldn't believe Hunter didn't act upon it back then. Or was it because...Hunter couldn't hear the voices? Is he the only one who listened and exploded due to that back then?
"They're not going to believe in you anymore!! They won't see you as an angel anymore..!!" Zero suddenly screamed, pulling his hands to clutch his head as he does so. The rope that Hunter tied his wrists with rests on the bridge of his nose as he held his head tightly.
"They were calling you a withered angel, that you're going to be a slave of my humanly desires, that you're not going to be worthy to them anymore...!!" By the force he exerted, his tears escaped his wide bloodshot eyes. "They won't believe in angels and heaven and miracles and all the good things about humanity because I'M GOING TO MARRY YOU!!"
By now, Zero had used the pillow he laid on to muffle his voice so it won't echo inside the entire infirmary. By how loud his voice is, that doesn't really work, even with the pillow. His breathing is ragged again as he breathes through his mouth, hyperventilating.
"I'm so CONFUSED how something as pure as a love between the both of us could destroy something so much like the perception of the people here that we aren't even aware of..! WHY! WHY. WHY. WHY. WHY. WHY!!" Zero banged his head strongly against the pillow with every 'why' that he screamed that the feathers inside it escaped its confinement at the sides of the pillow.
"How...can they." Zero's body finally slumped, his face against the pillow and his now calm-sounding voice muffled against it. Then his shoulders jerked, indicating that he's probably crying against that pillow.
He thought that his and Miki's collected happiness could make everyone else happy with their relationship, but clearly there's a number of people who are not happy with what's transpiring. After a moment, Zero rolled his body to the side so he can look at Miki properly, his eyes still red and teary.
"...Was I wrong in getting angry..?"
He had killed those people. He had killed each and every one of them in his view until the voices in his head stops. Was it wrong to kill them because they only stated their opinions, he wondered. But even so, he was too late in saving himself, the impact had already been settled in his mind that it leaves quite a depressing result.
"........I'm just relieved that.." Zero whispered in a tired voice, "...that I 'shut them up' on time before they start talking about Matthew.."

Seeing Zero like this just tore the angel’s heart out, but at the same time she remained by his side, holding his hand heck she even got up from her chair while she held his hand and laid down next to him and held onto him in a hug. Of course there will be people that won’t support the angel’s marriage, but this was HER marriage and it had nothing to do with the outside world. Love is love whether between an angel and a human love is love.
“Zero… Remember the time we spent together and how you said that there would always be people after me, whether you are a human or an angel or anything else? This is one of those times. I have met people that don’t believe an angels at all, but I know what I am and I know that we are going to be okay.”
“I’m part human too, and just because I had a bad father that hurt me doesn’t mean, doesn’t mean you are going to be just like him Zero. You are the first man ever to protect me to stand up for me, and you don’t treat me as an angel but a person. I chose to be with you Zero and I am happy with my decision! If people want to talk bad about me then I don’t care. I have to focus on what’s right in front of me what makes me happy, and I have found my happiness.”
“People can talk bad about me all they want, they can believe in me, they can hate me, they can even spite me, but bringing our son into this situation is disgusting. Why would they bring an innocent child that isn’t even born yet into our adult world? Are you serious?! If they ever say anything bad about Matt I will confront them. Because as his mother I have to protect him.”
“They can attack us as parents, but they shouldn’t bring our son into this, if they did that then they are really stepping over the line. You are not wrong in getting angry Zero, I believe it’s how you let that anger get the better of you is the problem.
You know what I am? Your wife. I’m YOUR WIFE! Our family and friends are going to be a part of our celebration Zero and that’s what matters. Listen…. There are good and bad angels out there Zero..”
“There are angels that think just because they have power they can do whatever the hell they want with it, but an angel helps people, guides people, but there are angels that do wrong, to hurt. I can speak for myself though and my mother and Jake that we are good people. God wants me to be happy, and I want to be happy, and I know that I am happy with you. My heart is dancing whenever I see you. Even when I get upset with you.. my heart is still happy.”
The angel put her head against Zero’s chest and closed her eyes.
“Now that you explained to me why you are angry, and now that I understand… I am no longer upset with you. Zero you were the only person that I had for the longest time, and our love isn’t sinful. People can talk bad about us, but I don ‘t care. If I spent time in worrying about what others think about me then I’ll always be unhappy. I do care though when people try to drag an innocent child into adult situations.”
“We need each other and I need you once you calm down to reflect on this mission and think about what you would do differently? Sometimes when we are angry we lose sight of what’s truly important so we block everything out not wanting to listen. You do black out whenever you get angry, but once you calm down and regain your peace I’m sure you’ll explain this to dad.”
“A year ago when I was injured by my father it made newsstands. People in Veyyard were disgusting about me in the magazines saying I deserved it, and because I was part human my angelic side was tainted. Jean had gone to every store in Veyyard that was selling these magazines and called the sneaky reporters up and cussed them out.”
“But I’m not tainted I am not at all what is described about me in those magazines at that time. I didn’t tell you because you would have flew off the handle.. But it’s okay let them say what they want because I know myself and I know you. Our promise is to be with each other in good times and in bad times.
“My purity is half of what I am Zero, if that is the only thing that they value and that is what they think, that is the only thing that makes me an angel, they are wrong. What makes me an angel is my heart, my purity exists in my heart too not just the creation of giving life to our son.”
The angel closed her eyes and kissed Zero with her healing kiss.
The same type of kiss she gave him the day she stood up to Kevin on Zero’s behalf. She was glowing as she did kiss Zero and she was starting to fight all of the bad things that were weighing Zero’s heart down, with her pure love. Normally she would have cried in circumstances like these but she didn’t, because Zero asked her not to and also she had to be strong for him.
Visually in the angel’s mind there was an image of her flying and grabbing a hold of Zero’s hand to save him from his emotions and despair. So now she was pulling him out of it, and penetrating the darkness that sounded Zero with her light. Zero had always said that she was his light of his life, now was the time for her to save his heart once more.
As she shared a healing kiss with him their telepathic communication began.
‘ I love you Zero, so much. But I am not going to push you away ever. I’m not going to leave your side, we are staying together and we will make OUR life the way WE want it and not allow people’s negativity affect us. True love is something to be fought for, but it’s so rare these days that we have to do everything we can to protect it.
People are cruel yes but it doesn’t define us. Never use what people say about you or about me, or even your anger as an excuse to not move on with your life. The best way to show people how wrong they are of you and us is to make it through life, and make our lives as happy as it can be babe..’
Then the angel remembered what Zero had said, he had said that they were whispering inside his head, which could only mean one thing, it was just a voice. A voice that was messing with Zero. At first she thought people were saying this to Zero’s face.. But it was only a voice, but a voice that carried so much negativity.
And even though it was just voices in Zero’s head saying all of these things to him, what she said to him still stands if people in the future decide to judge their relationship in front of their faces.
So fighting the negativity is what the angel did with her kiss, as the angel kissed him she took a hold of his hand and held onto it as tightly as she could. She knew that she could fight the negativity because she loves Zero, and her love was the most powerful thing that she had.
As she used her love to the fight the negativity that existed in Zero had in his head her telepathic communication continued.
“Zero you don’t know this but I had an afterlife form. It was a form that wasn’t as pure as you know me, because my spirit was stuck between worlds. It was stuck between the living and heaven… So it gave me a different angel appearance.. One that was darker because my heart was so broken, and I was stuck, I was really stuck. I wasn’t at peace. But 3 years ago when I came to this part of the domain I returned back into myself. Not my afterlife form, but myself.
So I know exactly what you are going through right now with your demons… Because I was there. I was unrest. But the love that everyone had for me saved me… The love you have for me saved me as well. I didn’t know who you were at that time because of the amnesia, but in my heart I knew there was someone out there that loves me so much. It was you all along.
Zero my father cheated outside of his marriage to my mother, he did the deed because he could, it wasn’t out of love at all. Matthew is our love. Our son is born out of our love. There are many humans in this world, and I wish so very much that people didn’t attack each other, but there is always going to be conflict, but Zero as long as I have you and Matthew, Jake and the rest of our family, we can get through anything.
“It’s just like the last time where I saved you as a little boy, now I am saving you as your wife, I am not going to let you go through anything alone. Some couples when they fight, they walk away to cool themselves off, but I am not doing that. If you told me to just leave you alone Zero… I WON’T!.
The angel slowly broke the healing kiss after that and just hugged Zero, and allowed him to let all of his tears out.
“Everything is going to be okay, just sleep now. I’ll be right here. I don’t want you to even focus on what is going on in your head just shut your brain off and sleep. If dad asks to see you I’ll just say that you aren’t ready, and it would be best if he speaks to you when you have calmed down. You are clearly not in the right state of mind, so just sleep.
“I love you, I love you, I love you.”
Her I love you’s were doubled now since Zero needed to hear it over and over. He was really hurting and now the angel had to heal and condition his beautiful heart.

Prince glanced back over at Hunter from where she stood, leaning against the wall. Her arms were still crossed as she grinned at him, amused by his look of shock. As he tried to speak, but only managed to utter a single word, Prince chuckled at him. "Hey, Hunter." She said as she finally pulled herself off of the wall to face him properly. Her arms uncrossed, one hanging now by her side and the other with her hand on her hip.
Prince chuckled again at his question of her asking about Zero. "Seemed like something he'd done was bothering you, so I was going to comfort you, like usual." She said, still with a grin.
"Hm?" Prince questioned as Hunter stated he was glad they grew as well. She tried to follow his gaze, seeing that he was looking at her chest then. Her eyebrow twitched a bit at that but she chuckled lightly anyway. "Hey, it's not like they necessarily grew. They're just not being bound flat like before."
Prince grinned back at Hunter as he commented on missing her. "Yeah, Hunter. That's why I came back, after all. We're buddies for life." She said with her grin as she moved forward and placed a hand firmly on his shoulder.

Jean sat in his office for a while to calm down his mind and gather his thoughts before he talked to Zero. He wasn’t going in the infirmary to scold him, or a chief. But as a dad. It was times like these in which Zero needed to have a father step in and just be there for him. Now wasn’t the time for Jean to act as chief, this was the time to go in the infirmary, and be that figure that Zero looks up to. Jean knew that Miki was there with Zero, but he needed to talk with Zero privately.
Jean got up from his chair and left his office and headed into the infirmary. “Miki, can I have a moment with Zero? I need to talk to him. You can come back afterwards, but Zero needs a dad right now okay? You can go to the recreation room to relax if you like. I know how you must feel to see Zero like this, but once he calms down he’ll find you. You know that. Go on.”
Jean helped Mitsuko out of the infirmary, and led her to the recreation room safely. When she’s worried about something Miki tends to lose her focus in anything that she’s doing, so Jean took it upon himself to make sure she was settled in the recreation room. He even went as far as to put a blanket over her as she sat on the couch quietly.
“If you need anything Miki just ask Eve okay? She’ll tend to you. Right now I just need you to relax.” Jean kissed Mitsuko’s forehead in order to comfort her once he saw her tears. Jean took a hand and wiped a way her tears and said: “Don’t worry sweetie, this can be fixed. Don’t cry. Zero is going to be okay he just needs to talk with me. Eve, just take care of her.”
Jean went back to the infirmary and closed the door behind him. He sat on the chair that Mitsuko had used earlier, after he detached his keys that was hooked up to his belt. Jean didn’t want to sit on his keys by accident, so once he unclipped them he placed it on the little table, which had a phone on it.
“Zero, you don’t need to respond to anything that I am about to say to you, just listen. I am not here to yell at you or be chief here. I am here as a father. I am not accepting your reckless behavior but I do understand why you did what you did, because people were badmouthing you and Miki. and it angered you. Don’t forget while there may be those that are not accepting of your relationship with Miki, there are those that are very happy for the two of you. “
“You know why you two are shedding tears? I believe it is because you are afraid of losing her again, and people that bad mouth her and you poses a threat to what you two have, but Zero those opinions shouldn’t matter. Who should matter to you are those that are your family and that are standing by you right now. But a relationship consists of two people. In your case it is you and Miki no one else. You love her so very much and she loves you too. She doesn’t want to lose you either Zero.”
“You are fortunate to have a stronger body then she has Zero. You’re her strength don’t you realize? If she’s collapsing on the floor like a house of cards you are the person to catch her when she falls. Now that you are going to be a father soon, you should try and think about what kind of example you wish to set for your son. His growth depends on how you and Mitsuko raise him. Start using your head together with your heart, and don’t rush in blindly into a battlefield.
Normally I would suspend you for a few days until you cool down, but the wedding is coming up and I am not going to add more weight to you by suspending you. All I ask is that you think about what I said and how you can make your life so much better with Miki. Don’t worry about the gossip going around, worry about that wonderful person that you know. That you love, and that you cherish.
I know I am not in a relationship to understand what you two go through, but this is a love worth fighting for. I have never seen a person make you so happy as much as Miki makes you happy. She’s not well Zero, I think everyone knows this by now. I worry how she will manage in birthing Matthew because of how weak her body is, but she wants to give you that child. So you as the strong young man that you are will just have to hold her hand tightly everyday and remind her that everything is going to be okay. I am proud of you Zero. Despite any mistakes you may make I won’t ever abandon you. Just take your mistakes and learn now.
Jean placed a hand on top of Zero’s head and smiled down at him.
“Mistakes do have consequences and I don’t want you to make a big mistake where it can’t be repaired. So be mindful the next time you want to shoot someone.
“Apologize to Hunter once you have calm down. And then talk with Mitsuko, she’s in the recreation room., she didn’t leave your side in free will… I took her there because I needed to talk to you alone., people always state their opinions and while you don’t have to agree you can try and find a way to disagree respectfully… I am sure that is the example you want to set for Matthew right? That just because they disagree with you doesn't mean you should attack them.”

It took a lot out of him to go through what he did, and a lot more to speak up and try to make Miki understand what actually happened. In the end, he doesn't have much energy left. The deep violent anger within him takes out so much of his energy, it became a sort of useful counter-measure for others to just leave him be until he tires himself out and sleep it off.
This time however, he wasn't left alone. Miki endured all of it and stayed close to him. She whispered words of comfort through her lips, connecting their thoughts, and delivering a kiss to steady his mind and heart. He silently hopes there will come the time when he can let go and calm his anger on his own one day, it's painful not just to others but to Zero himself, and he's getting so very tired of it. He needed to find a way, for Miki's sake. He's about to get married to her soon, and he never wished for her to carry all of his heavy negative burden.
So Zero made up his mind, that he needed to grow up soon. He can't stay like this forever, it's self-destructing and the explosion will hurt his most precious person. He never wanted to do that to her again.
Just as his eyes are half-closed and his thoughts began to drift by her whispers, another voice entered his hearing. It's Jean's. His eyes looks sleepy, but he could hear Jean's every word clearly and he took them to heart, despite his lack of responses. Soon enough, the boy finally drifted to sleep by both the physical and emotional exhaustion.
A few mumbles escaped his lips as he slept, "....--grow up.. I...need to... ...grow up....."

"Bounded..." Hunter winced, repeating her word. He's not a woman, but he couldn't imagine the amount of thought and sacrifice Prince had to put up with masquerading as a man all these while. It now became apparent to him when in certain weeks of the month she's like a ticking timebomb, and the reason she didn't want to room with him before, and also the fact that she always shops alone.
He was brought back to his senses when a hand was placed on his shoulder. Hunter glanced at her hand for a moment, before slowly turning his head to look at Prince in the eyes next. "This is all...? You came back and this is the best physical comfort you can give me?" A grin curled up his lips as he then grabbed hold of the top of her head with his large palm, "How are you so freakishly tall as a girl, jeez."
Soon after the complaint, Hunter had slid his hand that was on top of Prince's head to behind her and pulled her in a strong one-arm embrace. "Ha. Now this is physical comfort, yeah?" He joked with a laugh, but after a split moment, his other arm enclosed around Prince and the embrace became a hug. There's something quite different with the hug though, almost as if Hunter didn't want to let go.
"Are you back for a while or do you have to go again." His voice sounded strange, his question doesn't sound like a question with how unusually monotonous his tone is.
