"I could tell you," Mephisto said, grinning. "I could tell you all about it, you innocent girl..."
Satan rolled his eyes. "It's a kiss. The soul is strongly tied to feelings of devotion and love... think of it as mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. When you make that connection, the ulterior one will be imminent."
Mephisto looked disappointed. "Dad, you could have stretched that a bit farther, you know..."
"I know. But I'm not in a very joking mood, am I?" Satan growled.

Netsubo giggled. Mephisto really did belong in the lerchery circle. She looked up at Faust,"I guess we know how to give you your soul back..."She cursed herself for being shy.

Faust nodded, his empty eyes trying to look encouraging. "I'd like that..." he faltered.
"You know how hopeless he is," grumbled Mephsitophiles. "You'll have to initiate it, if you want anything to happen."

Netsubo closed her eyes in annoyance,"You're not helping Mephisto..."

"I'm serious," Mephisto said, rolling his eyes. "Kissing a soulless person is a one-sided thing. Yuki, go away so she feels more comfortable!"
"Where will I go! It's hell!" Yuki shouted back, looking put-out.

Netsubo bit her lip. Her face was bright red with every basically staring at them.

"Fine! For the sake of Faust's eternal soul, which your doubtless sweaty and shaking hand will crush in moments, we'll leave." Mephisto grabbed Yuki by the shoulders. "We're going back upstairs, Yuki."

Netsubo smiled as they left,"Those two are a real handful sometimes,"She murmrued softly.

Faust nodded. "You know... if you don't want to kiss me, I understand," he said quietly. He ran a finger over his bruised-looking lips. "I could never get them the right color again."

"Heh, that doesn't matter to me. I just got self-concious with all of them staring...."She murmured, leaning against his chest.

He gasped sharply, caught unaware, but he took a deep breath and allowed the contact. "Netsubo," he murmered, " 'Her lips suck forth my soul; see where it flies! Come, Netsubo, come, give me my soul again. Here I will dwell, for heaven be in these lips, and all is dross that is not Netsubo.' "

She blushed and looked up,"That was beautiful,"She murmured, standing slightly on tip-toe.

"It's not mine," Faust said softly, meeting her eyes. "It's from Marlowe's 'Tragical History of Doctor Faustus.' I memorized it because I loved it, and always wanted a chance to say it to someone."

"I'm glad you chose to say it to me,"She whispered, right before her lips met his. She closed her eyes.

For a moment, Faust was unresponsive, but the orb in Netsubo's hand flickered, burned for a moment, and then vanished. It was like the difference between black and white; he returned the kiss, wrapping his arms around her and holding her like a lifeline. Breathlessly, he broke the kiss off, stroking Netsubo's hair and looking at her face as if trying to commit it to memory. His eyes were so filled with emotion, passion, and soul that even his pale, anxious face was a thousand times more reassuring than the placid acceptance that had been there only minutes before.
