Stepping through the door, her hand now free of the mist-born Bix it once held, she was unsure of what to expect. Another world? The exit perhaps? A few steps forward, she hoped that maybe...JUST maybe she would see something in the swirling mass.
But there was only Mist.
Turning around quickly, she noticed that the door she had entered with was now gone, also lost into the abyss.
With a huff, she let out a noise mixed of frustration and of something else. It was a rather pitiful sound, but it was jsut a prelude to her words. "Is there ANYONE out there?"
Was she to be forever lost in this world, alone? She knew, confidently, the last Bix she saw was just a figment of her imagination. Was that all anyone she met along the way were? The man with the weapon... the young scaled child with the blue blood? All of them?

Bix stepped through the door with his eyes closed. Maybe it was a bit dramatic or maybe the young man had been expecting something to happen. But nothing did and he was just standing there in the silence with his eyes closed for a good few minutes before he slowly opened them and realized he was simply back in the swirling mists.
And now there wasn't even a sign of Mot. Or Julie. Or even fake Ceres.
Anyone would be great. One of the bases would be better.
We ssshould walk.
Bix scanned for the lights he'd seen before but once again, nothing, and he lifted his leg to take a step.
"Is there ANYONE out there?"
Bix could have sworn he heard someone. It was muffled, barely there, but he swore he heard it.
Who could have thought one word was enough to cause her to stop dead in her tracks.
In a way though it was super effecient, it either meant A: She was a little more crazy than she thought or B:.. There really was someone out there. Either way it was enough to make her want to take a chance. The insanity inside was telling her 'go now' while her rational side, for once, was agreeing and basically saying what did she have to loose? She made her way in the direction she thought it was coming from.
"ARE YOU REAL?"
Hey, it was a legit question to fling back at a possibly fake voice.
Im too lazy to put the info in here so if your reading this KUDOS FOR BEING AWESOME

Bix paused a moment.Was he real? He had no idea at that point. He was pretty sure he was but after what he'd just seen and done...
Bix glanced down at himself covered in dark blood. That certainly seemed real. "YEAH. I THINK. UNLESS YOU AREN'T REAL... THEN.. WOOO I'M NOT EVEN HERE.. WOOO..." He was wiggling his 'ghosty' hands.
Leave it to Bix to get goofy with what could by an enemy or a figment of his own imagination.
But that voice... and the response... now THAT seemed far too familiar.
"Bix if thats you im going to beat your butt." She replied out, shaking a fist at no one really, calling it a HUNCH. The voice was defiantly masculine, and she knew it somehow. Plus the response? Goofing off in a serious moment?
Oh yeah it was like the white haired male to do that.
YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO REPLY TO MY SPOILERS ANGE. GIVE IN TO THE TEMPTATION.

Bix had been walking towards the voice and with every step it was clearer.
"Ceres!" He picked up into a jog and within a few steps he'd busted through the fog and grabbed her in a hug. It was sudden, not very much like him at all, and just as quickly as he reacted out of character, Bix tumbled back to reality but releasing her and stepping back as if he were embarassed. The Insanity made him paranoid, eyes sweeping their surroundings as his smile shifted into an uneasy one.
"Are you alright?" His red eyes finally locked back with hers, his cheeks reddened. He'd forgotten he was covered in blood. "This fog is.." nuts? INSANE?
Could it be? It really was him! Her mind wheeled over and over as she too picked up the pace, who else would have known it was her only from a simple reaction? She had only mentioned HIS name, not her own. He easily replied to her...
Even the mist Bix had not said her name.
A stinging sensation in the corner of her eyes signaled unshed tears, that threatened to spill over, at their initial collision. Her arms quickly wrapped around him, as she too gave a equally tight embrace. He was real, he was real. He was REAL. She was not alone! Not anymore... she was not going through this alone. Unfortunately she had apparently not gripped hard enough, because in typical Bix-like fashion he soon peeled the two apart and stepped away. After the shock had worn off a moment later she allowed her own irritation and annoyance at that move show in her eyes, he would have easily seen it.
Stepping towards him he would also see that she too was covered in something, while it was not red as the blood they were used to... it had a similar look and metallic smell to it. The only difference really was the color, being as it was a dull blue. Taking one last step, she closed the distance in silence and wrapped her arms once more around him. She did not as permission, or even give the slightest indication of emotions again as she rested a forehead against his shoulder.
"No, not really." She mumbled, locking her arms behind him as a sudden wave of emotions over took her and filled with... something. It threatened to consumer her, the only indication of something being different was a squeak of realization.It was a feeling deep rooted in her gut, seeping through her flesh and blood. Ceres as a person was protective, but more in a motherly way to most. She was a 'mother bear' as someone had once described her. This feeling she had currently? There was nothing motherly about it, nothing subtle. It screamed one word at her, and like her own lulaby within her mind, it was all she could think about. Lifting her head back from its position, she leaned back slightly to get a good look in her friends eyes.
It was all that she had been thinking for a while now, something she had realized but this...mist, this insanity, this world, was only enhancing feelings already there.
She stayed there for a while, eying him almost too intently, as if she was really thinking hard about something. The word still playing around in her mind as if a broken record.
'Mine'
Tightening her arms some, she decided something a moment later. Her eyes dilated briefly, allowing this...protective emotions to consume her. It was after all, about freaking time.
"The fog is... enlightening."
She mumbled softly, odd words... right before she finally pressed her lips to his.
Ange, i am your father 8B
Also omg Ceres BAD FREAKING TIMING IS BAD. 8| Insanity Mixed with Feels already there. GOOD JOB.

The second Ceres gave him that admonishing look he sagged but like a switch his face tightened in worry as she threw herself against him. He was concerned. Was she okay? The strange colored splashes on her didn't worry him but he didn't know what happened or what she'd seen. He'd certainly been through a trip of his own and he had no concept of how long he'd been wandering from vision to vision. What if Ceres had visions too? What if something awful had happened? He flushed guiltily and tightened his arms around her a moment. It took him a moment to meet her eyes, he was too busy running through a mental list of horrible things he'd left her alone to see. They were hunters, yes, but Bix had found his concern to be only for Ceres lately.
By the time he met her eyes he looked sorry, worried, almost sick that she seemed so bothered. He wanted to apologize for being goofy, for not finding her, for pretty much anything but when he opened his mouth to talk she interrupted him. The albino almost scrunched his nose when she said 'enlightening'. He didn't get it. He was milling it over in his mind when he felt her lips on his.
Wait what happened? He was still thinking about that other thing.
Man this fog was crazy.
OH s**t SHE WAS KISSING HIM.
It was literally no longer than a heartbeat before his arms tightened around Ceres' waist and he kissed her back, but his delay made him feel stupid and he turned red against her. The kiss back was slightly tentative but not in a bad way, it was clearly shock mixed with a touch of paranoia and then punctuated by the dangerous situation in which they found themselves.
Bix broke the kiss with a gasp of air. He'd been holding his breath it seemed and his heart was pounding in his chest. It seemed like, for a few seconds, she'd rendered him speechless.
That was short lived and in typical fashion, he apologized. "Sorry."
And then simply hugged her, lifted her a few inches off the ground and buried his face against her hair and neck.
Fir the briefest of moments there she thought he was going to reject her. Under normal circumstances, when she was not under the effects of insanity, she probably would heave eased back and looked away embarrassed. In her current mind set she just pulled him into a tighter hold. She was not letting go... she had her sights set on you now, Bix, and she was horribly tunnel visioned in moments such as these.
Though she need not fear anything... because after that brief moment of hesitation, he returned the embrace. While his touch was somewhat gentle, hers could be explained as a bit more than that. Possessive, really. She was staking a claim, and wanted to make sure he.. and their mist-of-nothingness audience, knew it.
As they broke apart Ceres found that oh wait, breathing was still required yes? Nah who needs to breath!
...Dont worry, she was breathing still.
As long as Bix did not squeeze the oxygen out of her lungs, that is. As he lifted her up, she replied to the apology with a huge sigh, and a awkward punch against his back. "What the hell are you apologizing for?" She grumped once, but leaned her head lightly against his which was now buried in her hair.

"I don't know." Bix tensed a bit under her punch before he set Ceres back down on her feet. His face was red when he finally met her eyes. His heart was pounding hard. He knew why he was sorry but she'd think he was ridiculous. He was sorry he hadn't been with her. He was sorry he was slow on the uptake. He was sorry this was happening because of whatever trauma they both were under. It was mostly that she was upset... and he'd not even known. "I'm glad I found you finally."
Those were his big epic post-kiss words. She'd been very definitive about it, much more than he'd expected (not that he'd really expected it), and now he had nothing to say on the topic. The young man just continued to hold her waist tight but their situation wasn't lost on him. His Insanity was merely a tickle in his mind that told him someone was watching, someone could see, things were in the shadows, we're not alone.
Bix had to fight his eyes away from the fog again and he could tell Ceres was affected by something. She was... intense looking.
"Are you really not okay?" Apparently even feelsy Bix couldn't help working while he was working. Even with a girl crawling all over him. What a nerd.
She couldn't hlep it, his reply still brought a brush of a smile to her lips. This was the man she had a crush on alright, awkward panda and all.
"No, something is most definitely right... and wrong, with me." She looked up and pecked him softly on his chin, a attempt at reassurance, before deciding to continue. "The Right being that i finally forced myself to show my feelings for you TO you, the wrong being...well." She paused for a moment.... Looking down, pondering how to word the next part. One of her hands was still wrapped around him, but the other she chose to look down at her once white gloves, now stained blue.
"Im not certain but... I'm feeling as if my emotions are being amplified tenfold in this place. It has been getting worse as... more things happen. One emotion in particular is growing worse, amungst all the paranoia i am feeling.. VERY over protective." As if you make a point she flicked her eyes up to meet his. She knew at that moment she looked intense. Strong, and really really possessive. She let him see exactly how she was feeling at the moment, before she hid that once more. "I want to claim what i consider mine... in a way, i guess it nudged me quicker than usual towards you, a blessing in disguise perhaps but."
"I'd be lying to myself if i said i was not frightened.
At that exact moment, almost as if the mist was listening to her... something happened. The wind picked up causing her stained coat to violently flap in the wind, a second before the mists parted and revealed something heading down close by. A hole in the earth, and she could just make out the start of a staircase.
"..I guess its a good thing we did not run a few feet to our left side." Or they would be tumbling down the rabbit hole... Then again, said rabbit hole was currently catching her cuiousity. "...I think we should go." She had a feeling if they didn't, they would be stuck here forever. While being stuck with him was not a bad idea, she did not like the idea of being stuck here with him.
At least this time he would not Vanish while they stepped through...
Right?
[Exit]

Bix smiled a bit when she kissed his chin and admitted her feelings, even if she'd pretty much already done that. He squeezed her just a bit harder when she said how the fog was affecting her. It worried him. She had a tendency to be impulsive in battle already and the hunter wouldn't know what to do if she threw herself into something crazy because of her hightened emotions.
"Well I'll let you claim me when we get back." He was teasing (maybe) but the sentiment was important. Even if it was amazing and relief, and even if his heart was pounding a million miles a minute and he just wanted to sweep her up and run away.... well those weren't really options.
Bix broke the tight embrace and simply clutched her gloved hand in his own, fingers tangling tightly together. He gave her as much a a wry grin as he could manage. Just for her to ease her fears. "I have your back, Moonie. Don't be scared."
When the fog shifted he felt a growing dread. The place just felt... bad. Wrong. A gnawing pit in his stomach worried him. What if they didn't come back from this one?
Bix pulled Ceres to him again for a moment and kissed her hard this time. This was his kiss to take. If he was tentative before then that was gone. He had to make her know that he meant it too. She had to know, with no confusion, before they went down into that hole. Even if he flared into another blush and even if anything at any moment could leap out and murder him.
When he broke the second kiss, Bix rested his forehead against hers for just a moment. "Just in case." He didn't need to say why. "Alright."
He sighed and finally broke away, Mina flashing into his free hand. The other still held a tight grip onto Ceres fingers. "Let's go."
