Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

"I will not have mercy when the time comes, so I don't want to hear you complain- Oh wait, maybe I do want to hear you complain, loudly, hehe.…" Maya grinned in an evil, yet rather charming, manner. Her voice sounded alluring in a way that would stir the souls of many.

"Uhm, you worry about your stuff and I'll worry about mine…" Raven quickly nodded and said knowingly, her cheeks burning red. She didn't mind Maya's thoughts at all, anything was acceptable as long as they could overcome this hurdle. "When the time comes, I'll, err, I'll make sure that you're satisfied…"

"Now that's what I'm talking about!!" Maya cheered while licking her lips seductively, imagining the 'fun' they'll be having soon after. Her silver-white eyes were burning with hot excitement. 'I will finally be able to hit third and fourth base!'

Kayla, who was holding Raven's hand, was left speechless at their conversation. She didn't like how she was being ignored as if she was not there. But with that being said, she was really glad for the two of them.

'Hm, it iss really strange that I don't feel any hint of jealousy towards the two… how come?' Kayla suddenly asked herself. 'I have always thought that if something like this were to happen, I would die of jealousy because I want Raven to be mine alone. Hm, really weird…

'With that being said, the more I think about it, the more I realize that I've never viewed Rave as a potential love interest before, but rather a person whom I must keep safe and err, close to me… 

'Maybe this has something to do with the real Kayla and how she created me? Uhm, it must be. Otherwise, how would I explain my feelings?

'Err, I guess it may also be related to how close I am with her that I have always thought of her loved ones as my own and her own interests as mine as well. In this way, there is a part of me who views Raven as an extension of my own self? 

'In that sense, I can't be jealous? Ugh, well, whatever. Nothing changes on my end. I will always be by Raven's side, no matter what! But with that being said…'

"Rave," she suddenly called, her voice was almost a shy whisper. "I- err, I have a question…"

"Huh? And since when do you need my permission to ask questions?" Raven asked, feeling a little uneasy. *Sigh* "Go for it."

"Uhm," Kayla nodded as she turned her head towards Raven's bright golden eye, as if ready to determine whether her next words are genuine or not. "What- Rave, what am I to you?"

Hearing her question, Raven looked at her as if she was an idiot and didn't know how to respond. 

She opened and closed her mouth a couple of times before giving off a soft sigh.

If Kayla had a human body, her heart would have been shaken by that sigh. 'What? Why is she not answering? Am I not- wait, I could peek at her thoughts- but- no- why is she like? No, why am I this scared?

'I am but a simple system for Raven… a skill that she uses for her advantage… How dare I think that I am anything more? How stupid of me…'

While she was busy panicking, Kayla suddenly felt one arm wrapping around her head in an affectionate embrace, while the other patted her head, comforting her very soul.

Focusing on the outside world again, Kayla's heart softened as she realized that Raven had a gorgeous smile surfacing across her face. 

Quickly however, her smile turned into a chuckle as her patting hand turned into a fist that knocked Kayla on the head.

Kayla didn't complain, she simply closed one of her eyes as if expressing pain.

"Kay, oh Kay…" Raven shook her head. "What a stupid question… I genuinely never expected that someone as smart as you would ever ask something as dumb and obvious as this…

"Kay, in case you haven't realized by now, you're my best friend, my second soul, and my second half…

"Does that answer your question?" Raven asked with raised eyebrows while looking at Kayla with a strange look.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Kayla suddenly asked while backing away. "I obviously know this! I was just meaning to remind you, that's all, humph!" 

"To remind me?" Raven tilted her head. "Oh… hehehe… you're jealous of Maya, right? It must be…"

"Jealous? Why should I be jealous?" Kayla shrugged. "I'm not your lover; I'm much more. I am your second half that compliments you, didn't you yourself say that?"

"Hm, I guess so…" Raven said before shrugging. On the outside, she seemed as though she didn't care much, but in her Mind Space, her soul quickly approached Kayla's and hugged her tightly. 

In her Mind Space, everything felt much more sensitive and real for Kayla who had her true body there.

'Don't worry, Kay,' she whispered into her ears. 'In this world, no one can be closer to me than yourself. You are my blessing; my gift that no one can ever top! 

'No matter where I go or what happens to me, I know that you'll always stay by my side, that's why I trust you the most; even more than myself.

'Does that answer your true question? Hehe, you can already read my mind, but I guess you want me to say it out loud for Maya to hear, huh? What a bad cheeky girl…'

'Uhm, I know…' Kayla returned the hug that touched her soul, quite literally. 'And I was just setting some boundaries, that's all!'

'Hehe…' Raven giggled as she focused back on the outside world where Maya was looking at the two of her and Kayla with an inexplicable expression.

It seemed as though she had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start exactly.
