I watched as the clock slowly came to five o'clock in the cubicle, signaling for my time to get off shift. I stretched, got up and filed all the papers I collected into a folder. I had just spent so many hours going through the demon inventories in the council's record. I had narrow it down a lot from the types of demons I know off the bat would

I hear the footsteps, as light as they are it is not hard to know it is either Yuffie or Penn's turn to watch over me. I only hope they have given Eva something to make her sleep so that she will actually sleep.

I turn my head and see Yuffie with the dart gun in his lap.

"So you get to be my watchdog. I've already been darted once this week thank you."

[the23rdevil]

Damn, he's awake. So much for a quiet watch.

"Well hopefully that dart taught you your lesson and you won't need it again," I say simply. I couldn't tell if he was lucid or raving mad yet. Well he wasn't screaming or babbling, so he was more lucid than earlier. But I refused to let down my guard, anything could happen.

"How are you feeling?" Well, as long as he's awake might as well try to see how he's doing. Though I would not blame him if his reply was a smartass answer about him being chained up in the basement. I know thats what I would say.

"Aside from the company?" I shrug to indicate Acathla and the girl that only I see. "Sore as hell." Right now the girl seems mostly interested in telling me Yuffie's sins and how bad I am compared to him. I've heard it.

"How long since you took money to kill?"

[the23rdevil]

Well there goes the small banter part of this watch period. And he's still seeing people that I don't see. Joy.

I sigh, yeah lets talk about me. I hate this, these questions. Want to go back to just being the Yuffie they never thought more of than a guy with an evil office job. "About four years."

[the23rdevil]

"I remember alright. I remember not liking you so much either," yeah, that seems like eons ago. Like in a different life.

Heh, of course it would be trying to convince him to kill me. That would make everything easy for it. You caught the pixie helping the enemy, now you just need to kill it before it kills you, and then everyone will love you at the council for taking down the traitor. I coulnd't help but snarl in the direction it seems to be.

"Keep clinging to it Cristoff. You are good man, better than me. Don't aruge about that now" I add quickly before i once again hear that old argument. "Hear that? You are a good guy," Not that he would believe me right now.

"Besides, I would waste you in a fight. I wouldn't hesistate with what needs to be done unlike the others," I state firmly, meaning it. "It should know that. I was trained by what she considers to be the winning side."

[cristoff_eleni]

I smile, it's not a nice smile and I can feel my grip slipping. I've fought pixies before, they were trying to hurt people I loved.

"I am glad. But Randy tried to kill me, and I am still breathing." No, we're not supposed to be making threats we're supposed to be concentrating on not listening.

[the23rdevil]

I smirked. Insanity or not, the cockiness kinda irked me. "And so was he after that fight as I recall. The point isn't to kill you but to incapitate you."

I roll my eyes. I really didn't want this to turn in into him trying to prove that he could survive me. No shit sherlock, I was making sure he would survive even if it meant knocking him out.

[cristoff_eleni]

"You I trust to keep me here. I do not think letting Eva do this alone is a good idea. I get...ideas." I do not need to taunt the pixie with the dart gun, it is a bad plan.

[ct_littlebad]

"You should do what I'm telling you to do, its the only way," I tell Cristoff. "Come on, it will be over quickly. He's bluffing, he can't shoot that dart gun even if his life depended on it."

I wasn't going to let that little fucker live. Not a chance, not when he pulled out that folder full of our files. How dare he. He was using OUR resources against me. He was no better than another Judas.

"Break out of the chains and kill him. I hear pixies can die from neck snappage and it would be quick. You know you have to Cristoff," I whisper into his ears. "He'll hurt your Eva. After you're out of the way? He will have an easy way to hurt her in anyway he pleases. By killing him, you're saving her. Whats more important to you, a pixie who you used to loathe, or the love of your life?"

[cristoff_eleni]

I am manuevering to get out of the chains before I know it, but Yuffie has done as I asked and I cannot reach the locks, and my picks are on the ground.

"I cannot."

[ct_littlebad]

"You can, you know you can Cristoff. You just aren't trying hard enough because you are scared. Scared of that thing," I say gesturing towards Yuffie. "Look at him, he's small and can't use that dart gun. It would be an easy fight. But not so easy for Eva," yeah, I knew how to press buttons.

"But, since you won't try enough, so much for her having a chance. Have fun living with that. Knowing that you let Eva's future killer live."

[cristoff_eleni]

Yes, he is small but he can teleport, I have scars from my last encounter with a teleporting pixie. My hands are moving automatically testing, shifting, what can they use...can they fold small enough to get out.

He could kill Eva so easily, smile as he did it. Part of me knows this line of thought it wrong, but it is the weaker part at the moment. I no longer look or listen to Yuffie, I am in that state where locks are conquered if it is possible.
