Two Many Deity

Intro

Conan: ”BLASTED!! THAT HEATHED MAMONO FOUND ME AGAIN! WHY WONT SHE JUST PARISH ALREADY! ITS BAD ENOUGH SHE HAD ME BANISHED TO THIS CAVE AND HAD TO FIGHT DEMONS UNTIL THE SINS DIE OFF, BUT NOW I HAVE TO ENDURE HER FOUL PRESENCE ONCE MORE! ARGGGGGGHHHH!!! HMMMMMM, CONGRATULATIONS, LADY LUCK! YOUVE FOUND YET ANOTHER WAY TO SEVERLY AGGRIVATE ME! WHEN YOURE DONE TORTURING ME, YOU MIND MAKING THIS DREADFULLY LONG CONVERSATION END SOON! WHETHER OR NOT AARON DECIDES TO KEEP THAT TAINTED SOUL IS NO CONCERN OF MINE, ALTHOUGH I GREEVE FOR ERIS. SHE WILL HAVE HER HANDS FULL DEELING WITH THOSE TWO. I DONT PLAN ON STAYING, AND I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO BE RID OF THESE PESTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. NOW THAT THE SINS ARE GONE, ID LIKE TO GO HOME NOW. ”

Aaron: ”Hes, dead?! ”

Neku: ”Its all Nekus fault. Neku is the one who killed master. ”

Eris: ”And there you have it. The killer admits its her guilt. Guess you couldn trust her after all huh, Aaron? ”

Aaron: ”Eris, stop antagonizing. Youve already made it clear you never trusted Neku to begin with. ”

Eris: ”Yeah. And now that you know my hunch was right, you should discard her. ”

Aaron: ”Eris, you were always great at finding the worst about people, but you were never able to actually read a persons true heart. Just like you haven been able to read Nekus heart, you still haven been able to read mine, even though weve been friends for ever. ”

Eris: ”What does that mean? ”

Conan: Looks like youve decided her fate, Lady Luck.

Aaron: ”Ive made my decision. Nekus staying. ”

Eris: ”You can be serious. ”

Aaron: ”I am. ”

Eris: ”Aaron, what is wrong with you? Why do you insist on protecting? She just admitted to killing her previous master, and you don see how thats a major red flag?! If we keep her, theres no doubt shes put all of our lives in danger! ”

Aaron: ”Eris, you need to calm down and… ”

Eris: ”No! Im not going to let you jeopardize our mission just because of your feelings for Neku. The fact is shes dangerous. She killed her master and left you for dead. You already put your faith in her once and were betrayed, Im not letting you make that same mistake again. If you won abandon Neku, Ill make you. ”

Aaron: ”Are you going to fight me? ”

Eris: ”If I must. ”

Eris stands up, preparing to attack Aaron. Aaron, still in his weakened state, saw no point in fighting Eris nor wanted to, and looked towards Conan for assistance. Conan nodded in understanding and broke the fusion with Eris.

Eris: ”Conan, what are you doing? ”

Conan: ”Give it a rest Eris. Its clear Aaron has no intentions in abandoning that creature or fighting you. Continuing this argument will only strain you twos relationship, which will only be problematic when it comes time for you to fight Baren. ”

Eris: ”Eh, how did…? ”

Conan: ”God abandoning the world for thousands of years, a new demon lord appearing and planning siege on all creation, and two angels who fell from the sky who just so happen to be fighting demons. I think I know how to play connect the dots, don you? ”

Eris: ”Tch, but still! ”

Conan: ”Enough. Im tired enough as is. I don feel like dealing with you guys right now. If it were just up to us, then abandoning that cat girl would be the best idea in history. But in all these years, shes never once came back for her master, until now. I don know what Aaron did to change her, but whatever it was it was seems to have been for the better. True, she did run away and I wouldn trust her farther than I could throw her, but she did come back, and to an army of demons no less. They both easily couldve died and she new that. There may be hope for her, but Im not gonna hold my breath. ”

Eris: ”Sooo what? You think we should trust her? ”

Conan: ”I think you should, at the very least, give her a chance, against my better judgement. ”

Eris: ”Really, you to?! ”

Conan: ”Well, you have to give her some credit. She did save your your partner. He wouldn died if he fought those demons alone. Matter of fact, he almost did. Didn you, Aaron? ”

Aaron: ”Not sure how you knew that, but yes. If Neku didn hadn came back when she did I would most certainly be dead. ”

Conan: ”Then that means, on behalf of Aaron you owe her a second chance, Eris. ”

Eris: ”Oh come on! Whered that, ”I hate that cursed spirit girl ” vibe go? I thought you wanted her gone to. ”

Conan: ”Oh, nothing would pleas me more than to see her wither away, but I have to hold up to my ideals. She risked her life for someone else for once, and that deserves some sort of consideration. Tell you what, well give Neku this chance to prove to us that she won be a liability and that we can trust her. If she continues to keep her master safe at the cost of her life she can stay, but if she betrays his even once Aaron will kill her. Fair enough? ”

Conans proposal caught Eris and Aaron by surprise. Eris never thought that Conan would suggest that one of them kill Neku, especially not Aaron. Aaron was completely against the idea. But, before either one of them could voice their opinion they were interrupted.

Neku: ”Accepted! ”

Aaron: ”NEKU! ”

Neku: ”You wish me to fail, that I can hold me promise! ”

Neku approaches Conan with a stoic look on her face.

Neku: ”Neku will prove you wrong, prove that Neku is changed, and can protect Master. And that, N-Neku can be your friend again! ”

The fell silent for a moment as Neku began to blush from embarrassment.

Conan: ”Pfff, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Are you serious, is that what you
e after, my forgiveness? Haha, thats so funny, but to bad. ”

Conan leans over and whispers into Nekus ear.

Conan: ”I don care for you in the slightest, not one bit. Youve made my life a complete oblivion, and for that Id be completely overjoyed if you were suddenly devoured by a demon. I hope the pain is excruciating. ”

Nekus heart sank and her breath became heavy. She tried to respond but her mind drew a blank. Conan walked over to the flower. He kneeled down in front of it, staring at it like he was lost in thought.

Conan: ”You came hear for this flower, correct? Ill give it to you, but on one condition. ”

Aaron: ”Ok, whats the condition? ”

Conan: ”I want you to eat it. ”

Eris: ”Hold on, why do you want Aaron to eat it? ”

Conan: ”Well, first of all I can leave this place until all the Sins are gone. As for the reason why I want Aaron to eat the Sin, its because hes weak. Not just physically, but mentally to. He doesn have the will to kill someone if needed or choose whether they live or die, especially if he has a relationship with them. Hes just too caring. This flower will help curb that trait a little. Of course I hope he never has to make this decision, but in this sorry world that situation will inevitably arise and we can afford him to be too hesitant. ”

Conan picks up the flower and hands it to Aaron.

Conan: ”This flower will give you numerous powers and abilities from all the death that its consumed, but theres a price. This flower will corrupt the weak hearted and curse those who give into its evil temptation, transforming them into something far worse than you can imagine. Even if don change immediately or feel the affects soon after consuming this Sin theres always a chance you can be turned later on down the road. The fact that you
e still able to be this kind and defend that Mamono means that you have some resistance to the Sins affects. I don know if the Sins influence will ever dissipate or if it can be transferred, but thats a chance youll have to take if you so choose. So, what do you choose, Aaron? ”

Aaron: ”Before I make this decision, I have two questions and one request. ”

Conan: ”Ill answer them to the best of my ability. ”

Aaron: ”First question, why didn you make this offer to Eris first? From what Ive just witnessed, you seem to have more faith in her abilities than mine. ”

Conan: ”True, I do have more faith in her judgement, but she already carries a darkness in here heart. She doubts others and puts little faith into those she doesn believe in, like when she was ready to abandon that Mamono without hesitation. Shes quick to distrust and hold preconceptions. Also, her great dislike towards Neku continues to fester. Not saying these are bad qualities to have since they help keep you from making foolish choices, but they do make for good catalysts to incubate the Sins curse. She might grow to distrust everyone, maybe even go mad. If Eris were to eat the Sin, she would have a much greater chance of succumbing to its temptation. ”

Aaron: ”Second question, why don you eat it? Since youve been living in a place where Sins were abundant it would make sense that you would have a much higher resistance to the curse than me. ”

Conan: ”How observant. True, the temptations of Sin have virtually no effect on me. But, as a rule of my outcast Im forbidden from eating Sin. Well, I can actually use that reason since Ive already broken it once. ”

Aaron: ”Broke it? ”

Conan: ”Yes, I ate one of the Sins before. But, I didn really have much of a choice. I was attacked by the demons and fatally wounded. If I was going to survive, it would have taken me too long to recover by the next attack wave. I couldn risk being so weak that I couldn fend off the demons from stealing the Sins. But, since my life isn being threatened I have no reason to brake the rule once more. Also, even though I have a tolerance for curses Im not immune. A great portion of hostility towards Neku and my initial action against Eris is a result of the Sins influence on me. Ive only been able to resist as much as I have because of my natural aura and self-awareness. If I eat another Sin, not only would I be braking the rules again, I would most likely be corrupted. ”

Aaron: ”Alright. I have another question. If I choose to take eat this flower then what will you do afterwards? ”

Conan: ”Well, that depends on what happens. I might just decide to stay or search for the demon that destroyed my village. ”

Aaron: ”I see. Now, as for my request. ”

Conan: ”Yes? ”

Aaron: ”I would like you to stop calling Neku, Mamono. I don know what it means, but I do know its insulting and she doesn like it. ”

Conan: ”…hm. Maybe, lets see what happens first. ”

Aaron took the bleeding rose from Conan and tried to eat it. Its peddles were tough like leather and tasted rotten. The stalk was thorny and very stringy, and not only that, it was hard. When Aaron finally broke the skin bitter juices exploded into his mouth, making him gag and almost throw up. He choked the flower down while constantly fighting against his body that desperately tried to rid itself of the disgusting substance. This must be what death taste like.

Aaron: ”BRRGGU! Oh, god, that was, BRRRM! Guh-hu, disgusting. ”

Conan: ”Braise yourself, cause its about to get worse. ”

Aaron: ”What? !!!. GAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!! ”

Eris: ”Aaron! ”

Neku: ”MASTER! ”

Eris and Neku rushed towards Aaron.

Conan: ”NO, STAY BACK! DO NOT TOUCH, OR YOULL DIE! ”

Neku and Eris froze in place.

Conan: ”Aaron will now begin going through either a phase or a metamorphosis. So, we need to be careful. ”

Eris: ”What does that mean?! ”

Conan: ”It means you better pray he goes through the phase. If he does hell successfully absorb the Sins power, but if he goes through the metamorphosis then things will get ugly real quick. ”

Neku: ”Meaning what?! ”

Conan: ”Hell become a demon. ”

Aaron groveled and rolled on the ground. His screams piercing all those who heard it. His grumbles and quick jerks frightened Neku. She worried that Aaron might not survive the process. His eyes turned red and foam oozed from his mouth. His body began to contort excessively, skin began to peel off and expose the muscle underneath, his screams turned to low gargles, and a dark powdery fog began to encompass his body.

Eris: ”Whats happening to him? Why does he look like that? ”

Conan: ”Huh, looks like I was right. You are weak. ”

Eris: ”What?! ”

Conan dashes towards Aaron. He enlarges his hand to the size of a boulder. He swing down upon Aaron, but is stopped short before he is able to crush him. ”

Neku: ”You won , hurt, Master. ”

Neku blocks Conans attack before it crushes Aaron.

Conan: ”Get out of the way, Mamono! We have to kill him now before he completes the metamorphosis. If we don hell turn into a demon and then we
e all dead. ”

Neku: ”Sorry, but what you say about abandoning Master? ” (Smirk).

Conan: ”Tch, don be petty, or do you want to die? ”

Neku: ”You-you and the Witch are same. You too quick to make decisions, that why you all alone. You never take time to see, wait, discover if a person is bad. ”

Conan: ”This isn the time. Well die if we don act now. Now get out of my way! ”

Conan presses down on Neku harder. She collapses down to a knee, but still manages to hold Conan off.

Neku: ”No, trust. No, faith. Thats, you and, Witchs problem. Grrr! You run, from belief, and don , concern for others. Thats why, you have doubt. Because, you scared. Scared of losing, scared of loss. You lost your home back then, and Neku sorry. But, you not only one. ”

Neku starts to push back Conan, like shes acquired a newfound strength.

Neku: ”Neku lost, eh-I lost, something precious. My, home, my, family, my friends. I, have lost, just like, you have lost, and just as much, as you have lost. But, theres, a difference. You have someone else, to blame for your loss. For why you, fear loss, and fear trusting others. I, have no one, to blame, but, my, SELF! ”

Neku explodes with a sudden burst of energy, pushing Conan to the ground.

Neku: ”Its my fault that this happened to you, Conan. Why, you
e alone. You trusted me. Thats why, you never, told, the others, that I, was meeting with a demon. You trusted me, and I broke that trust, and ruined everyones lives, especially yours. And now, you can bring yourself to trust others, because you fear youll get hurt again. And for that, I am sorry. But, I will not abandon, the person that put so much faith in me and is torturing himself, risking his life to save my sake. If Master is so willing to risk his life for mine, then, Ill do the same! ”

Conan: ”NOOOO!!! ”

Neku grabs onto Aaron. The dark mist engulfs her body and she lets out a piercing scream. Her skin begins to peel away and her eyes begin to bleed. Her body starts to contort, but much more aggressively than Aarons.

Conan: ”You idiot! Let go of him now or youll die! Your body can handle the Sins curse! ”

Neku hurls up a pile of blood. Her body begins to violently shake and twist, as if its trying to tear itself apart or off of Aaron.

Neku: ”NOOOGGRRR! I maze, ah pomiszz! Hi zill, ot eave vim! Gasp! Vasper, ake uppp! I vron zeave this ime! Zi no u in deer! Zo peas, comb back, maszzker! MMM-MASTER!!! ”

Conan: ”Curses! I have no choice, Ill have to kill them both. ”

Eris: ”AARON!!! GET UP! ”

Conan: ”What?! ”

Eris: ”DONT LOSE TO THAT STUPID FLOWER! WE STILL HAVE A MISSION TO DO, OR DID YOU FORGET?! FATHER IS COUNTING ON US TO BEAT THE DEMON LORD BAREN! IF YOU DIE THEN WE LOSE! FATHER, ANGIS, EVERYONE WE CARE ABOUT AND LOVE IN NIRVANA WILL DIE! DO YOU WANT THAT TO BE ON YOUR CONSCIENCE WHEN YOU HAVE TO FACE THEM AGAIN?! I KNOW YOURE STRONGER THAN THIS, SO COME ON! LOOK, I KNOW IVE SAID SOME PRETTY MEAN THINGS AND CAUSE YOU A LOT OF PROBLEMS, BUT YOU CANT LET IT END LIKE THIS! YOU MAY BE OVERLY-TRUSTING, NAIVE, SOFT-HEARTED, AND ALMOST NEVER TAKE ANYTHING SERIOUSLY, BUT YOURE THE MOST KIND-HEARTED, THOUGHTFUL, GENTLE, AND SELFLESS PERSON I KNOW! YOU NEVER LET ANYTHING STOP YOU FROM DOING WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT! EVEN IF IT MEANS YOU COULD GET IN TROUBLE OR HURT IN THE PROCESS, YOU STILL DO YOUR BEST TO HELP OTHERS, ESPECIALLY ME! YOUVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ME! WHENEVER I WAS ALONE AND THE OTHER ANGELS DIDNT WANT TO TALK TO ME, YOU CAME TO ME AND ASKED TO BE MY FRIEND! WHENEVER I WAS SAD, YOU WOULD COMFORT ME AND TELL ME EVERYTHING WOULD BE ALRIGHT, AND I BELIEVED YOU! WHENEVER I MESSED UP, YOU TOOK THE BLAME FOR ME! IF I DID SOMETHING BAD AND WOULD SURELY GET IN TROUBLE, YOU WOULD CONFESS IMMEDIANTELY AND ANGIS WOULD PUNISH YOU INSTEAD! YOU ALWAYS TOOK MY SIDE AND PROTECTED ME! EVEN IF YOU KNEW THAT NO ONE WOULD BELIVE YOU, YOU STILL INSISTED THAT YOU WERE THAT ONE AT FAULT, NOT ME! YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU CAN FOR OTHERS AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE, AND THATS WHY I BELIEVE IN YOU! YOU HAVE A PURE HEART AND I NEVER TRUELY APPRECIATED THAT OR PROPERLY THANKED YOU, SO YOU CANT DIE. NOT LIKE THIS! NOT BEFORE I MAKE AMENDS AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME! SO PLEASE AARON, CAME BAAAAAACK!!!!? ”

***

Aaron: ”Its so cold. My body feels like its on fire. Where am I? ” What, am I doing here? ”

Whisper: ”Aaron! Aaron! ”

Aaron: ”Whos, that? They sound familiar, do I know them? Why are they calling me? ”

Whisper: ”Aaron! Aaron! Wake up! ”

Aarons eyes bolt open. He looked around in astonishment and panic. He seemed to be stuck in so sort of alternate space, but he was unsure. The place was bleak with a grayish hue.

Aaron: ”What, is this place? ”

Voice: ”Hey there, mister. ”

Aaron turns around and sees a little girl holding a toy rabbit standing before him.

Aaron: ”Uh, hehe, hey there little girl. What are you doing in a place like this? ”

Girl: ”Playing, I live in this world. What are you doing here, mister? ”

Aaron: ”Well, Im not sure. One minute I was in a cave and next minute I was here. You wouldn happen to know how to get out of here, would you? ”

Girl: ”Yeah, I know the way out. ”

Aaron: ”Would you take me there? ”

Girl: ”Mmmmmmmm, no. ”

Aaron: ”Please, I really need to get back to my friends? ”

Girl: ”I can . Its not a place I can show you. Youll have to get out on your own. Besides, why would you want to leave this place? Its so peaceful. ”

Aaron: ”Well, I need to get back to my friends. We have something important to do. ”

Girl: ”They don think so. ”

The little girl points behind Aaron. Aaron turns around and sees Eris, Neko, and Conan sitting down together. They notice Aaron and wake him over. Aaron begins walking over towards them.

Aaron: ”Huh? How did you guys get here? And why are you… ”

Girl: ”Thats what I thought. ”

HAAAA-CHUMP!!

Aaron feels an ominous presence and gets started. He turns back around towards the little girl.

Girl: ”What? ”

Aaron: ”Oh, its nothing. Now, back to you three. Why are you… why are you…? Huh? ”

Eris: ”Whats the matter, Aaron? ”

Aaron: ”I can remember what I was about to say. ”

Neku: ”Then it must not be important. Come, sit with Neku. ”

Aaron: ”But… ”

Conan: ”Would you sit down already, the foods getting cold? ”

Aaron: ”Why are you… ”

HAAAA-CHUMP!!

Aaron gets startled again and turns to the little girl.

Girl: ”What? ”

Aaron: ”Did, you say something? ”

Girl: ”No. Im just playing. ”

Aaron: ”Hmm. Anyway, Conan, what are you… what…, I forgot again. Whats going on, why can I remember what I was about to say? ”

Neku: ”Master, you tired? Come sit, eat, then you feel better. ”

Aaron: ”We don have time. Eris, did you forget? We
e on a… ”

HAAAA-CHUMP!!

Aaron: ”On a… on a… I forgot. ”

Eris: ”Aaron, are you sure you
e ok? ”

Conan: ”You forgot what you were trying to tell us three times in the last 20 seconds. Thats not a good sign. ”

Neku: ”Come, Master. Rest, and feel better. Then tell us what you have to say. ”

Aaron: ”I am feeling a little worn out, like Ive been fighting a constant battle. Maybe I should take some time to rest and clear my head. ”

Neku guides Aaron to the floor and lays his head on her lap.

Neku: ”Yes, Master. Sleep a sound slumber. When you awake, all will be bliss. Just go to sleep. ”

Aarons eyes began to shut, as he falls into a deep sleep.

Voice: ”AARON, WAKE UP!!! ”

Aaron: ”What?! ”

Aarons eyes shot open. He looked around, puzzled at what just happened.

Aaron: ”Wasn I, just here a second ago? What is going on? ”

Girl: ”Hey there, Mister. ”

Aaron: ”Ah! Oh, its you again. ”

Girl: ”Hmm, what do you mean? Weve never met. ”

Aaron: ”Im sure that we… ”

Girl: ”Never met. ”

HAAAA-CHUMP!!

Aaron: ”Wait, on second thought. You actually don look… ”

Voice: ”AARON, WAKE NOW BEFORE YOU TURN INTO A… ”

WOOSH!

Aaron: ”Ah?! What was that just now? Was somebody, talking to me. ”

Girl: ”Hey there, Mister. ”

Aaron: ”AHH! You again?! ”

Girl: ”…weve never met. ”

Aaron: ”What do you want? Where am I, answer me? ”

Girl: ”Eh, don shout you
e scaring Buna. ”

Voice: ”AARON!!! ”

Aaron: ”Gaaah, my head, why does it hurt so bad? ”

Girl: ”Mister, are you ok? I know a place we can get help. ”

The little girl starts to approach Aaron.

Aaron: ”No, stay back! I don know why, but something is telling me that you
e dangerous. ”

Girl: ”Thats mean. Im just a kid, and Ive been nothing but kind to you since youve been here.. ”

Aaron face turns puzzled, as if hes having a realization.

Aaron: ”Well, Im not actually suppose to be here, now am I? ”

Girl: ”GGGGGRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! ”

The little girl transforms into a large grotesque creature and attacks Aaron. Aaron dashes away, but was a little too slow. The creature catches Aaron, but before it can do away with him, a flash of light comes down a strikes the monster down.

Aaron: ”What was that? ”

Voice: ”Master, would you please wake up already? This, really hurts. ”

Aaron: ”N-Neku?! Look out! ”

The deformed creature extends its neck and bites Nekus leg. Aaron rushes over and kicks the creature away. Neku collapses into a small seizure.

Aaron: ”Neku, are you ok?! ”

Demon: ”Now, my brethren have been avenged. ”

Aaron: ”What?! ”

Demon: ”You arid creatures, you will know despair. You feed on my brethren without remorse and push us to the brink of extinction. Constantly hunting us to the ends of the Earth for your own selfish desires. Ill make you regret feeding on my people by devouring your soul, threw her. ”

Aaron: ”Wait, hold on. That wasn our intention. We weren the ones who were hunting you, the ones who were hunting you were the… ”

The internal mind space the Sin dragged Aaron into began cracking then shattered. Aaron and Neku fall through the subconscious black space.

***

Voice: ”Aaron! Aaron! ”

Aaron: (GASP! COUGH! COUGH!)

Aaron wakes up in a fluster. His skin was severely corroded and his muscles were swollen.

Eris: ”Aaron, are you ok? Are you hurt, hows your head, does it hurt to breath? ”

Aaron: ”Back up Eris, you
e way to close. What happened to me? ”

Eris: ”Mmm. You, ate the flower and almost turned into a demon. ”

Aaron: ”What?! ”

Eris: ”As soon as you ate the Sin, you collapsed into a frenzy. You were screaming so loud that it made my ears bleed. Your skin started burning and peeling off and a thick dark aura began enveloping your body. Your eyes turned red and your body started changing. It was at that point Conan tried to, well. ”

Aaron: ”Oh, ok. So, did you stop him? ”

Eris: ”No. That was, Neku. Shes the one who stopped Conan. But, shes in really bad shape. ”

Eris points towards Neku. She was laying on the ground covered in bandages. Conan was tending to her wounds as best he could. Her skin was bleeding through the bandages and she was going in and out of minor seizures.

Aaron: ”Oh god. What happened to her? ”

Conan: ”She became an idiot, thats what! ”

Aaron: ”Huh? ”

Conan: ”This idiot got in my way while you were turning into a demon. Not only that, she touched you after I explicitly told her not to. Because she did that, some of your evil aura passed into her and ripped her flesh apart. I was ready to kill you both, but after seeing Nekus resolve to save you and hearing Eriss romantic speak I decided that I might as well give you some benefit of the doubt. I mean, its not like Eris wouldve just stood by if I tried to kill you. You should also know that if it wasn for Neku you wouldve most likely became a demon. By splitting the aura between the two of you you were able to harness the Sins energy more easily. Can say I approve of her methods, she almost died. ”

Aaron: ”Aw, is that concern for a friend I hear? ”

Conan: ”Quiet! Shes not my friend. She doesn even count as a acquaintance. ”

Aaron: ”Well, hows her condition? Will she be ok? ”

Conan: ”Tch, yes, shell make a full recovery by the end of today. As long as I keep feeding her aura shell be fine. ”

Aaron: ”Thats good. Im glad. Thank you, Conan. ”

Conan: ”What ever, I only helped because well need her for our upcoming battles. ”

Eris: ”Wait, our? ”

Aaron: ”Does that mean? ”

Conan: ”Yeah, unfortunately for me Ive decided to join your team. If you ever hope to take out Baren then youll need all the help you can get. ”

Neku: ”G-glad, to have you, on the team, Conan. ”

Neku grabs Conans arm and pulls herself upright.

Conan: ”Hey, careful! You haven fully recovered yet. If you move now, your body will break. And don take the bandages off your eyes, if you do youll go blind. ”

Neku: ”Oh Conan, you worry about me too much. Ill be fine. ”

Conan: ”What are you talking about? I don worry about you at all. It doesn matter to me what happens to you. You can go die in a hole for all I care. ”

Neku: ”Oh stop it. You do care, if you didn then me and Aaron would be dead. Thanks for believing in me, it means a lot, teehee. ”

Conan: ”Mmm, yeah whatever. Its not like I care. ”

Neku: ”So, now that we have the Sin, whats our next move? Should we go to the nearby village? ”

Conan: ”Hmm, I don see why. There aren any strong people in that area. ”

Aaron: ”Um, question. Neku, when did you start speaking so clearly. ”

Neku: ”Oh, uh, right after I blocked Conans attack. I felt a little tingly before it happened and I felt a small surge of energy. ”

Aaron: ”Hmm, I wonder what that was about. ”

Eris: ”Anyway, what was that about a nearby village? ”

Conan: ”Theres a small human village just towards East of here. Last time I checked, there were about five-hundred people living there, but that was about twenty years ago. ”

Aaron: ”Perfect, thats plenty. ”

Conan: ”Hmm? ”

Eris: ”You see, we need humans in order to call down our brethren from Nirvana. Even if the town is small, if it has even one human its worth checking it out. ”

Conan: ”Hmm, alright. Then once Neku gets all healed up well head to Shenma Village. ”

Aaron: ”Right. ”

Eris: ”Right. ”

Neku: ”Right. ”
