Acara had just left the bath when he heard the shots. He got to the female tech nest as Chiharu left holding Alexis. ~Hey! Chiharus back!~ Acara became very excited at this, but he pushed it to the back of his mind.
Inside the nest Acara noticed the seraphs remains, and Hikari. He flowed over to the frightened child, and tried to comfort her. Exciting his molecules, he warmed himself, and assumed the texture of a soft wool blanket. Acara hugged Hikari, trying to keep her calm. ~Why do the young ones always have to suffer.~ He thought as he held Hikari
Hikari was terrified, she had been attacked again and she had curled up in a ball on the nest. She felt the warmth of Acara enveloping her like a blanket and she seemed to calm down a bit. "Is it dead? Is it really dead?"
"Yes, Hikari it is dead." Acara replied softly. "Chiharu and Alexis killed it. It won't come back this time." He wondered what it must be like for one as young as Hikari to go through such trauma. ~First burns, and no this. I hope she will be all right." Acara mover to a nest and sat there holding the young tech, his parental emotions surging within.
"Is the Megami up?" Hikari was looking for something else to occupy her mind; she was trying not think about what the Seraph would have done to her if the Taisho and the Taisa hadn't come in.
Acara looked down at her, making his facial features very clear. "Yes, all we need is the program now. We got all the hardware fixed." He sat there for a second. "Are you feeling better? He asked, keeping his voice calm.
"A little. Inari was saying that once the Megami was back they could give me a new body so I won't be hurting anymore." Her voice was calmer, she didn't seem like she was going to be able to sleep tonight though. "Was anyone hurt during the attack?"
Acara got a look of concern on his face. "I don't know, but Chiharu ran out of here with Alexis in her arms. He might be hurt, but I don't know. Are your burns doing any better?" he asked. ~Maybe I should stay here for here sleep cycle.~
Hikari sighed, "They aren't healing very quickly. Inari said that if we couldn't get a new body for me that she would try something else when Megami was up. She was also saying something about evil spirits being aboard the Yui..." She sounded a bit confused by the talk of evil spirits
Acara laughed. "No, there were no spirits on board, just that stupid seraph. Why don't I get rid of that ugly heap so you don't have to look at it?" He got up, unwrapping himself from Hikari, and handing her a real blanket.
Hikari took the blanket, "Arigatou." The remains of the Seraph were still there save the small vile that Sgyzr had already taken.
Acara gathered the rest up in himself, and haled it to the disposal. After removing the remains he went back to the nest. "It is your sleep cycle, right. I'll stay here until it's over."
Hikari smiled softly, she had grown up in a military training school with Tomoyo and Kei. So in a way, they were her only family, and she had only dim memories of having parents. It was a nice feeling to feel someone treat her like a daughter that wasn't her captain or her commanding officer. "Thank you Juni Acara."
"It's ok." He said as he settled down beside her nest.
