[i]How was I supposed to know this would happen?...this isn't any good...[/i] Kaika thought, knowing she really screwed this up. No wonder whenever she's sent somewhere for a mission for the Spiritual World, she would always have Miki at her side. If it wasn't for her Lifestream form and the essence of being a Witch, Kaika would really had been done for, regardless of fate. She slowly moved towards Hope, Kaika's thoughts were of reassurance, to show that she was still around. --- "Don't need that. I can stand on my feet, but help for the other six Emeralds is something I need," Sonic says, refusing to be carried. --- Sota only stood there, something about both Stein and Mia unsettled him. Kaika had more experience on stuff like this, not him. She was completely fine with becoming a Pact Bearer and a Witch, he was forced to being the one with a powerful demon in his body. He had a feeling that maybe keeping quiet would do him some good, as he seriously had no idea on what to say. From his small amount of information that Kaika's told him in the past, the "heaven" mentioned here was the "Spiritual World" he and Kaika knew, and that 'hell" was the equivalent to the "After World." It was easy for Stein to tell that there was a demon in Sota's body and more importantly soul, and that there was a small aura coming from Sota that also felt like Kaika in some way. As if Kaika's spirit was close to Sota this entire time.
