Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

"Kay…" Raven looked at Kayla with emotion as her golden eye sparkled with a lone tear.

"You've finally opened up to someone, hehe," Kayla chuckled while gently patting Raven's head and rearranging her crimson-purple strands that were all over the place.

Hearing Kayla, and the relief hidden within her every word, Raven didn't know how to express her feelings. 

Everything that has been happening today has been a great surprise to her, and she still hasn't even wrapped her head around it all. 

"Uhm," She finally nodded, allowing her tears to fall down her rosy cheek and towards her chin, while wrapping her arms around Kayla's tender body.

"The cloak," Maya pointed out that the cloak was not covering Raven anymore. At some point, she had forgotten to hold it tightly and it had simply slid away.

Realizing that, Raven blushed and quickly covered herself again.

"It's alright though, isn't it?" Maya asked. "There are no strangers here."

Saying that, she let go of her own cloak, allowing her dazzling skin to be fully exposed.

Kayla frowned and covered her with a thin layer of Cyber Matter. "You belong to Raven now. Wasn't that what you said?" 

Hearing that, Raven also frowned and looked at Maya. Quickly, she added a layer of her own golden mana to cover her up.

"What? But that doesn't apply to you," Maya defended herself innocently. "Didn't you witness everything? You just said that you live in Raven's mind!"

"Ugh, well, normally that would be the case," Kayla complained. "But not this time. I quickly got out the moment you two started getting all lovey-dovey."

Hearing that, Raven suddenly remembered that she had once called Kayla to ask her about something, yet the latter didn't answer her back. Now it seems that she was blocking their connection.

"While you were… err, doing what you were doing, I was finishing up my task," Kayla continued. "Now, every angel outside can be fully controlled by me.

"I've inserted one Cyber Core inside each one of them. Right now, excluding the Newborn and Servant angels you two used for your healing, there are twenty Guard Angels, and Seven Holy Angels waiting for you!"

"You just interrupted us for this?" Maya's veins almost popped out. Approaching Raven, she grabbed her hand and was about to drag her away to continue their 'unique' exercise...

"No…" Kayla answered decisively while opening her palm. "Rave, support me."

"Uhm," nodding, Raven heard Kayla's internal voice transmission and quickly shared her skill: Mana Elementalist with her.

Grinning, Kayla converted most of the air they were breathing -or rather, Raven was breathing- into a large water bubble that was launched towards the duo.

Maya was taken off guard and started splashing around, trying to resist, while Raven held her breath and took the opportunity to bathe herself thoroughly while changing into her Dark Shadow Armour. Additionally, she controlled her hair, like she controlled her mana, and restored her previous flowery hairdo.

After a few quick seconds, Maya summoned a large air bubble, from the air stored within her special bracelet, and spread it around Raven so that she could breathe properly.

"What was that for?" Maya asked while wiping the water away from her face and hair. 

Thinking about it for a moment, she stopped complaining all of a sudden, and looked at Raven with an evil grin. Approaching her with her dripping-wet body, she looked dazzling and extremely alluring…

Even Raven, who got rather used to this scene, had trouble looking away this time as she was captivated. She had to admit that a Seraph's figure was something humans could never hope to achieve!

*Slam!*

"Hey, what was that for!?" Maya, who was still grinning mischievously, suddenly asked while rubbing her head where she was just hit so unscrupulously.

Kayla massaged her knuckles while staring down at Maya like a bad street thug. "You had your fun, enough! We have to get down to business!

"Didn't you ask me the reason for interrupting you? Well, the first reason is that the battle between Uriel and Michael is coming to an end, and we need to take a stand.

"And the second is that with the, err, exercises you were practicing, Raven would have died of carbon dioxide poisoning if left for another ten minutes.

"Didn't you feel like she was about to faint at least a couple of times, throughout your activity?"

"What? Wasn't that because she was tired? Or err, from having too much fun?" Maya asked seriously, remembering a couple of instances where Raven felt dizzy and light headed.

*Sigh*

"No, that was because of the lack of oxygen and the abundance of carbon dioxide…" Kayla explained. "Anyhow, we have to move. I'll send the angels to Earth to give everyone there a hand. Oh, I'll probably ask Sar to go look for Tu though, he's been missing for a while…"

"Sounds good," Raven said, hoping to switch the subject and get serious. She could not stand the increase in her body temperature from everything that's been going on.

"Okay, let's get moving!" Kayla said, while looking at Maya specifically, with a not-so-kind smile. "Maybe put some clothes on?"

"Ugh, fine! Always trying to be ethical!" Maya complained, before her expression weirdly lit up as if a terrific idea popped up in her head. "Wait, you have seen my naked body," as if to emphasize, she slid her hands around, "I can't get married now. You have to, no you must, take responsibility…"

Kayla didn't answer. She simply looked at her with a tilted head and didn't even conceal her surprise.

Raven, on the other hand, had trouble stifling her giggles. Approaching Maya, she started tidying up her hair with a smile. "Put your armour on, I won't help you in that regard."

"Okay!" Maya instantly dismissed her previous words and said happily.. Having Raven rearranging her hair made her mood soar up the heavens and she could not conceal it even if she tried to.
