The Bond that never breaks

Sindel went back towards Lucy, in a slow, infant like steps untill she knelt down besides her, looking down at her while her palm gently rubbed upon one of her eyes, cleaning and drying it from her own tears before she'd finally speak with a firm tone. " I.. Came here to purify my mind from revenge and hatred.. I don't know why I went off on you like that.. But all I know was seeing ' her ' face.. The face of the girl who stabbed me. " She brought her other hand down to her own stomach to rub it gently before her attention was back on Lucy. " But.. I want to get through that.. And I think I'd only get through that with my friends.. I need you.. Lucy.. "

Lucy looked up at Sindel and as her teacher spoke to her she began to slowly get up to look at her, she wanted to help Sindel, she wasn't afraid of her, she was scared of the thing she knew was inside of her, that other self that she had buried for so many years now, hoping it would stay gone, it came back though and it was tormenting her, she had come to Sindel to find help, but perhaps her teacher was in more dire need of help than she was, it made Lucy realize that if she truly loved Sindel she would bite through her pain for now and be there for her beloved mentor.

Lucy move up and towards Sindel, quickly trying to catch her and wrap her arms around her teach, embracing her in a loving and compassionate hug, " I'm here for you...always "

Sindel snuggled up against Lucy, wrapping her arms tightly around the girl's body and nuzzled down on her shoulder, whispering all the way with a choked up voice. " I would never hurt you like this! I hope you know that! " She held the girl's body closely against her, tears streaming down her cheek, not being able to stop them at all. She just wanted to hold onto Lucy now and never let go, the obvious reason was that she missed Lucy and needed her selfishly, perhaps that was something she truly needed rather then just meditating here, a friend that would be with her through thick and thin.

Lucy began to rub Sindel's back up and down and holding her mentor tightly, embracing her close friend and teacher as she let out her sadness and fear, letting her tears stream down, Lucy didn't mind, it felt so nice to just be with Sindel that she didn't care, all she wanted now was to help her teacher, she nodded and made a little sound of a agreement as Sindel talked, she knew that Sindel wouldn't ever hurt her like that, or that was what she hoped and thought, she nuzzled up against Sindel's head and began to softly " shh..I'm here for you Sindel...I will always be here for you, no matter what "

" Lucy... You're more then just a student.. " Sindel was starting to clear up her mind.. Would she keep up the saddened state she was in, she would worry everyone around her and she couldn't do that to Lucy, she remember how the girl looked at her when they entered this room, so she slipped her arms gently around Lucy's upper back and held her close, whispering softly into Lucy's ear. " You're a piece of my heart.. I won't ever let you leave me...I want you to know that.. I will never let you fall from grace.. "

Lucy's face did light up quite a bit when Sindel told her that she was more than just a student to her, Sindel was more than a teacher to Lucy and more than a mentor as well, she meant almost more than anyone else in the world to Lucy and the little demon carried a lot of love for Sindel, but she wasn't really sure that Sindel had felt the same way about her, the conformation that she was more than a student to Sindel filled her heart with joy at the moment.

" S-Sindel...Thanks, I won't...I'll do my best, but first we need to care about you " Lucy said as she held Sindel as tightly as she could and even began to tear up, not from sadness or anything but from joy, as she was so happy with the way that she felt and thought that Sindel felt for her.

" I'll be fine now..as I have you around. " She would begin to move back and away from Lucy, raising back upon her feet and offering a hand to Lucy to help her up, using the other to wipe the tears from her eyes, it did burn a bit since her salty tears and the small scratch marks Lucy's rake caused stung, but she ignored it, her brightened eyes staring back down at Lucy.

Lucy looked up at Sindel as she moved up to her feet and she watched as she extended her head, Lucy hesitated for a moment, a small twitch in her arm before she finally took Sindel's hand and move up with her mentor, up to her feet and smiled at Sindel, she moved up with her hands to gently help Wipe away Sindel's tear and then get a solemn look on her face as she looked closer at the scratch marks that she had left on Sindel, " I'm...I'm sorry.." Lucy said as she gently caressed the edges of the scratches and Sindel's skin with her fingers.

" We'll both be.." Lucy said as she went to give Sindel a hug and hold her tight.

" Mmh.. Don't worry about it. " She moved in closer to Lucy, tilting her head up and gently pressed her soft lips upon Lucy's forehead, it was a more soothing kiss then a actual loving one, she wanted Lucy to ease up and be comfortable again, she didn't mind the damage that was brought to her anymore, having Lucy back by her side was enought ignore it.

" Wanna stick here with me? I have plenty of space on my bed to let you crash here. " She'd stick out her tongue, trying to tease and lighten the mood.

Lucy smiled a little as Sindel kissed her forehead, it felt good, really good and Lucy began to simply let her mind drift away from the bad that had happened, although her face stung with pain as Sindel kissed her, but she didn't mind it, Lucy looked up at Sindel as she asked if Lucy wanted to stick around, and she smiled at her teacher, much to the pain of her face as she did, which caused her to wince a little.

" Yeah! Sure, if you don't mind a little demon in your bed " Lucy teased back as she gently pushed at Sindel.
