Namine Waits

I sit on steps that lead up to a building and sigh slightly; I have been pondering my thoughts at this very spot, staring at the ground for nearly two hours. Finally, I glance up; desperately seeking a friendly face. When I don't see his, I look back down. I think to myself that maybe I should just leave, but a stronger, more ferocious part tells me to wait. And that is what I must do.

I stepped out of a portal with my hood on and smirked. "Hey there princess, what's up?" I asked as I approached her. I noticed she looked sad and the smirk wiped away. "What's wrong?" I asked.

I look up slightly and sigh. "Oh, nothing.. Just marrital problems, Axel," I say his name slowly as it seeps in. "Wait a second.." I stand up quickly and tackle him, smiling widely. "AXEL!!!!!!"

"Hehe, hey there Namine." I said as I wrapped my arms around her giving her a hug. "You act like you haven't seen me in a while." I chided with a smile. "What's going on with you and Ghost?" I asked as the smile fell from my face.

"Well it feels like I haven't seen you in ages!!!" I say, giggling happily. I then let go of him. "And it's really nothing. I just haven't been able to see him for a long time.. When I'm home, he's gone. And when he's home, I'm gone.."

I scratched my head. "This doesn't have something to do with... that incident does it?" I asked holding my hand to my chin. "Well, I'm sure that if you decide to leave him, Vergil's still got your room in the manor for you, not by his choice though... Alice won't let anyone into it." I said with a smirk.

"I dunno what I'm going to do yet. I haven't decided. I might just try and make things work. Be home more often, you know?" I then smile widely. "I've always loved Alice..." I say. "Speaking of Vergil, where is that absolutely lovely man, eh?" I say absolutely lovely with just a hint of sarcasm.

I chuckled. "Beats me, he stopped sending me all over the place, and seems to be moping around a bit." I said as I rubbed my neck. "Hope something big isn't going on to upset him." I said as my smirk turned into a scowl.

I come out of the door behind them and look at them both, "Hey how are you two doing and been? It's been quite some time." I look at my little sister then my smile sinks away to sadness and I return inside.

"Sit down; explain to me what is troubling you.." I say, patting the ground on the other side of me.
