"We thank you Abel," the shinigami said while giving a slight bow. "for your assistance and your offer. We have not had a descent place to sleep for many months now."
"Yes, I am gratified that you came at the time you did." Aske said as he nibbled on the lunch that Abel had given him. "I can not accept all of this, I only need a little." He said as he handed the lunch back to Abel, only keeping a small piece of bread.

Abel shook her head. "You have to eat if you wish to heal," she said, not taking the meal back. She smiled at them both. "I'm glad I was able to help. I'm too kind for my own good."
"You got that right," Seren mumbled.
"I'm afriad I have to get going, I was heading to the store for meals and apples for my Shinigami, Serendipity. I'm going home afterward. If you want a decentplace to stay, you may want to concider following," she said, turning toward a store she'd heard about.

"Do not be ashamed of your kindness the world would be a better place if there were more people like you." Aske said as he starting to walk using the metal rod as a cane. "Yes if it is not to much of a bother I would like to rest at your place." Aske's shinigami followed shortly afterword as he carefully inspected Serendipity, looking for hints of the shinigami's past so that he might know if he could trust him.

Seren walked beside Abel instead of following her. In his past, he stayed in the Shinigami World, looking for a human he believed would be able to handle a Death Note. He saw Abel's parents die and gave her his Death Note so he'd be able to be her companion, not wanting her to be alone. In truth, he fell in love with her, but only shows that he cares about her as friend.
"I could use the company. Seren is a great friend, but I need human friends, too," she said, walking into a store. She came back out with two bags, one holding a week's worth of food. The other held apples. She smiled at her guests and started home.

"Do you want me to help with those bags it is the least I can do?" Aske said as he followed Abel closely.
"Thirty minutes ago you were an animal now you are being a gentleman. What has come over you?" his shinigami said almost chuckling.

"Oh, no, you're injured. Besides, I got them. The offer is sweet, though," she said. I hope he doesn't have feelings for me. I'm fourteen he looks about twenty...something. Besides...I think I love...Seren, she thought looking at her Shinigami. "A little change of heart isn't so bad, is it?"she asked Aske's Shinigami.

"No, No I guess not. It is just a little different than how he normally acts." Aske's shinigami said. "Must be because he is interacting with an actual human being for once."
I guess he has a point, maybe I should talk to more humans than I do. I'm almost always talking to him or well... myself.

Abel nodded in understanding. She stopped in front of a two story house. She looked up at it. "Remind me how I can afford this," she said to herself. "Here we are. It's not much, but it's home," she said, unlocking the door and opening it. "Please, make yourselves at home." She walked in and started putting food away. "I hope you like it here."

"A little young to be living alone aren't you?" Aske said as he looked around the cozy little apartment. He proceeded to sit upon a small stool nearby.
"Maybe it was best not to say the." his shinigami whispered as he eyed Abel to see what her response was.

"Well, my parents died and I don't fit in very well. My Shinigami can confirm that. I knew I wouldn't do well in a foster home so I moved to Japan to be on my own. Come, I'll show you to your room," she said, going upstairs.

What a coincidence. She is also an orphan. Aske thought to himself. "I thank you for this yet again." Aske said to Abel as she lead him to his temporary room.
"Yes, well I bid you good night, may pleasant dreams manifest within you." Lugganath (Aske's shinigami) said as he reached for the door behind them.

Abel nodded. "Pleasant dreams," she said, letting the door close. She turned and walked to her own room, changed, sat in bed, and read.
"He likes you," Serendipity pointed out with disgust.
"Hmm? Who does?"
"Aske, I can tell."
"Seren, friends are supposed to like each other, are they not?"
The Shinigami' eyes narrowed. "That's not what I mean! It's that stupid florence nightengale affect! If you hadn't helped him, he wouldn't have fallen in love with you!"
Abel looked at her jealous companion. "You're infatuated with me aren't you?"
Seren stayed silent. He didn't want to admit it, but...he was.
The next morning, Abel got up extra early to prepare breakfast for her guests before heading to school. She put everything on a tray placed on the dining room table. In the middle of the table was a basket filled to capacity with apples. "Aske, breakfast is ready!" she called, knocking on the door.

Aske had already been awake for most of the night by the time Abel had knocked on the door. What has happened it. How could such a simple thing gotten to how it is no. I guess it is what fate decided to happen yesterday. "I will be out in minute" Aske said plainly to appear as if he had just woken up.
Aske walked out the door first closely followed by Lugganath. "Well good morning Abel I hope you were able to obtain decent sleep last night." Lugganath said as they walked over to the kitchen.
"Where are you off too?" Aske said as he limped over to he stool next to his shinigami.

"Thank you, and help yourself to the apples," she said gesturing to the basket full of them. Abel grabbed her messenger bag. "School," she replied, "I'll be back later, make sure to take it easy, Aske. I'll change your bandages when I get home. Bye, you two," she said, walking out the door, locking it after she closed it and went to school.
She returned hours later. "I'm home," she called out of habit. She grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator and sat at the table, starting her homework.

"Well how was your day of school, Abel?" Aske said trying to get up to see what she was doing. Lugganath reached down to give Aske a hand.
"I really do insist though that you lay down Aske. Walking with your wounded leg will only make it worse." Lugganath said with a sense of worry in his voice.

"Fine minus the rumors, and that Shinigami of yours is right, Aske, lay down. Only walk once in a while so it doesn't get stiff on you and elavate it when you sit or lay down to keep any swelling down," she said getting up and going to the kitchen, bringing back a bowl of warm water. She set it beside Aske and walked to the bathroom. she washed her hands thoroughly before grabbing what she needed. "Let's see... warm washcloth and clean bandages." She came back out and started changing Aske's bandages.

"Rumors, like what?" Aske said as the blood soaked bandages were removed by Abel.

"That I killed my parents, but I didn't, I am insane, but I'm not, I'm not human, but I am. People can be so cruel sometimes. I hope I'm turned into a Shinigami since I cannot go to neither Heaven nor Hell," she said, cleaning dried blood from the wound. I'd like to spend all eternity with Seren, anyway. She wrapped the wound with the fresh bandages. "There."

"Where I was at your age none of us mocked each other, each of us were orphans, each of us were insane, and one way or another it was our own fault for the loss of our parents." Aske said with almost an envy of Abel. At least for her it is only rumors.

"But that's in the past, Aske... You're aura turned green... Why are you jealous?" Abel asked, tossing the bloody bandages away. She washed her hands again and tossed apple to Seren and Lugganath.
