A deal made(Akari)

Akari gently patted him on the back and released her hold on him, she didn't want him getting the wrong idea.. she didn't actually know him that well anyway, maybe if he gave it a bit of time she could actually give him what he wanted. ”There must be something else you want? Something... a little... smaller than that maybe?” she asked, with a warm smile as she watched him.

Ezrion felt Akari patting his back, before she pulled away, and he knew by that action alone, that she wasn't going to do it, which was fine by him, he had been an idiot to say it. When she asked him if there was something else he wanted he had to think, and still he couldn't come up with anything, well he could, but he couldn't voice any of them. He shook his head and continued to stare at his feet, theclolor slowly draining from his face.

Akari looked at him as he looked down to the ground apparently he wasn't exactly happy with her teasing.. and it was so very cute to her. She waited for a second attempt for him to try and choose something, but she heard nothing at all.. so, she decided to choose for him. Moving closer, she would lift his head up to her and pull him down to her height. Without any warning she would kiss him, not exactly giving him a choice as to what his prize should be. It lasted a few moments before she broke it off. ”I don't owe you anymore.. right?” she asked, with a little blush on her own cheeks now.

Ezrion still couldn't come up with an alternate 'reward' and so he continued to stare at the ground beneath his feet. Which is why he was startled when Akari tilted his head back and pulled him down to her height, and when she kissed him. After she pulled away he blinked several times in slight confusion. When she asked him if she still owed him he merely shook his head mutely, too stunned to speak, the redness slowly creeping back onto his face.

"G-good... I'm glad you enjoyed that" Akari would say, though, she wasn't sure exactly what he would do now, she felt awkward for some reason.. as if maybe she had gone a little too far. That, and she hadn't actually kissed someone for many years so she had completely forgotten what it felt like. And, apparently it had become to much for her to handle right now, as he might notice her right eye glowing gently, her inner-hollow seemed to be somewhat interested in the whole ordeal.. ”I.. I might go back to the warehouse... I'll see you later” she said sounding a little off as she would wordlessly use her shunpo to put distance between them and quickly leave the area until her presence couldn't be sensed at all.

Ezrion smiled when he heard Akari stutter, and regained his voice. "Of course I did, though hopefully so did you." He smiled at her and put his hands in his pocket, feeling a lot less awkward, though he could tell she was feeling awkward now, which he found slightly amusing, as they had switched roles almost.

Ezrion noticed her right eye seemed to glow, and wondered what it was that was causing it. When she said she was leaving Ezrion scowled, and as she shunpoe away he followed, catching up to her. He put a hand on her shoulder and turned her to face him. "Why you in such a hurry? Did I do something wrong?" He asked, his face worried, and slightly concerned for Akari.

She had changed somewhat in the short time between her sudden retreat, her right eye was now completely glowing, quite intensely actually, and her normal pure white hair had streaks of black running through it. Akari felt she had made a horrible mistake, but she wasn't sure why that was exactly. Though she didnt attempt to pull away from him just yet. "That was a bad idea.. I'm sorry" she said, not exactly sounding well. Her inner-hollow had taken the initiative to get a little bit of control while she was feeling vulnerable... Apparently.

Ezrion looked at Akari blankly, noting the changes, and her words. "Are you alright, You look.... different, something is happening to your hair." He said as he held her closer, examining her more closely. He didn't know what was happening and continued to watch Akari, and cocked an eyebrow.

The black streaks through her hair seemed to be getting more prominent, at least on the right side, the same as her now eerily glowing eye. She seemed to grin a little bit, though again only on the right side of her mouth. ”This... is for before” she said, though it sounded slightly different, it sounded much more sinister from the normally quite innocent Akari. Without any other warnings, she would move her hand and he would only see it move momentarily before she punched him in the stomach, with quite a force, enough to get him off her. The strength didn't seem to fit her body, but that was a ruse really. She wasn't a captain for nothing.

Ezrion noticed how her right side seemed to be acting strangely, her eye glowing the thick streaks of black in her white hair, the half smile. He was about to ask her again what was wrong when she spoke. Her voice sounded off though and he wondered what was happening to her, and was again about to question it when she hit him. He was sent back a few feet, holding his stomach in surprise, not pain, and looked at Akari strangely. He didn't speak or move, just stood there, waiting to see if she would continue to change, or if she would be able to regain control of herself.

”You don't know what this is do you?” she asked, more change occur, the black hair now taking up more then her original white, so it was almost inverted with white streaks instead of black. ”You are a vizard aren't you? Haven't you seen your own inner-hollow?” She asked, though the transformation would stop there, apparently Akari had kept it in check, but couldn't revert these changes. ”What to do with you now.. hrmmm” she walked up, not looking at all violent this time, instead she seemed to be somewhat more enticing as she got closer. ”So many things she won't do for you, it's a shame”

Ezrion blinked several times, then figure it out. He wondered why her inner hollow was coming out now, and what exactly it wanted with him. It seemed as if she didn't know either and Ezrion relaxed, before she moved closer, and he again tensed up, not knowing what she had planned. As she spoke her last statement Ezrion blinked in confusion. "What do you mean? Just what are you planning?"

Akari grinned, though this time it was her whole mouth instead of just one side. She walked up to him and got quite close. ”I know what you want, you can have it. It isn't like she was ever going to give it to you anyway. Why not take the chance” Though this definitely wasn't like her at all, and apparently there was nothing that Akari could do about it. In fact she had no idea what her hollow might be doing.

Ezrion backed away slightly. He shook his head. "Be that as it may, I don't want to do that to her, it's not right. I will not turn into scum." He said as he continued to back up, though he knew that he wanted what she was offering, even if it was wrong. He sighed as he rubbed the back of his neck, debating what he should do.

”Come on Ezrion-Sama, I know you want it” The hollow wasn't going to just give up that easily it would seem. She wouldn't let him get away from her either, she knew she was faster even if he tried to run. ”And it's what she wants too, she's just to shy to say so” The hollow refused to listen to reason apparently, this wasn't going to be easy to get out of.

Ezrion gulped down the lump in his throat and ended up backing into a wall, and he sighed. What I want doesn't matter, it's what Akari wants." He replied still trying in vain to prevent this from happening, at least from happening under these circumstances. As she said that Akari wanted this as well he didn't believe it, not unless she herself said so. "I won't believe it till it comes from her, not you."

Akari looked particularly offended, though it was obvious now that it wasn't actually Akari there. But, she didn't mind, she would get him eventually. ”I will remember this, and I will get you when you least expect it” she said, before moving quickly as Akari herself had done, kissing him for a second time.. though this time it was different. As this continued, her hair would regain it's pure white, and her eye would turn back to normal. Slowly of course, until the whole ordeal was complete when she would pull away. ”I'm... really sorry.” was all she could muster.

Ezrion had no where else to go, Akari stood in front of him, and he had a wall to his back, going to the sides wouldn't help much, and he knew he couldn't outrun Akari. When she issued a warning Ezrion headed it, and was now going to always be suspicious of Akari, or at least when she started to change. he blinked when she moved as quickly as she had earlier, and kissed him. He hadn't expected it, not that he minded really, but it wasn't Akari, it was her hollow doing it. after a while Akari pulled away, returned to normal and apologized.

Ezrion smirked at her, and shook his head. "you have nothing to be sorry for, it wasn't your fault, nor was it you doing anything. though had it been you acting that way, things may have ended up differently." He said, as he rubbed the back of his neck, not quite comfortable saying that, but he had said it, so no turning back now.

As the last of the color returned to her hair she found herself hugging him again, she seemed quite shaken about the whole ordeal. For a while she simply held him silently, ironically feeling safe with the man who literally wielded fear as a weapon. Ezrion would say something about that being different if she had said those things, but she had already assumed that. "Lets... Take it slowly alright... I just wasn't ready for that" she said, a small smile on her lips. Maybe it would go somewhere afterall.

Ezrion was slightly surprised when Akari hugged him, but he hugged her back, having a feeling that she needed some comforting. As she spoke of taking it slowly, and not being ready Ezrion smiled. "Of course, we can take it slow, move at a pace you are comfortable with, and I will move with you." He continued to smile, and held her close, waiting to see what she was planning next, if she was planning something.

Akari smiled and laid her head sidewards on his chest as they hugged, apparently feeling quite comforted at the moment. She nodded wordlessly as she figured out what was the best course of action. They could go back to the warehouse possibly, but she didn't feel like that. Staying out here was probably the best idea, the others didn't exactly need to see this, she was definitely not ready for others to know. ”Good, I couldn't ask for more” she said, snuggling into him a little more.

Ezrion just held her to him, letting her lay her head on his chest, and he smiled. He was happy, and content, he didn't need anything more from her, nor was he asking for more. He heard her words and his smile softened a bit, and he leaned his head against the wall behind him, looking out at the skyline.

In the silence, Ezrion would probably notice she was shifting more weight onto him, though this wasn't on purpose of course. Apparently today's events had taken a whole lot out of her. So much so that she had actually fallen asleep while standing up. Feeling her go a little limp actually might be a better indication. She wouldn't fall just yet, unless he was careless. What he was going to do now was completely up to him.

Ezrion felt Akari slowly getting heavier against him, and he wondered why. He wa about to question it when he noticed her eyes were shut, and that she had gone limp. He sighed and smirked, holding her up. He slowly started to lower both himself and Akari to the ground, laying her head on his lap, as he sat cross legged on the ground leaning against the wall. He smiled up at the evening sky, realizing how long they had been out today. His own eyes slowly crept shut, though he was still one hundred percent awake.
