Some thought that had been niggling in the back of Kiki's mind suddenley came to the front and presented itself in all its glory.
"Wait," Kiki leaned off the broomstick slightly so she could see Ace's eyes.
"Take me to the ground. I want to show you something."
'Please let me be right about this...'

Ace shook his head vehemently. "Look, Ki, you have to listen to me - this has to be the end of it. Stay in your damn Common Room and re-discover yourself or whatever it is that you need. Make up with all your friends."
His gaze pierced her as minutes ticked by, and he forced himself to realise that she would not back down as her own dark eyes silently fought back against his.
"Fine," he sighed.
He flew back down to the ground and leapt off the broomstick expertly. "What is it?" he said in a irritated sort of voice.

"I just want to show you before you go. I might not get the chance again." Kiki stepped gracefully off the broom, took out her wand and pointed it at her wrist. She took a deep breath and murmured an incantation, and a deep red welt snaked its way up her wrist.
Kiki had thrown all her faith into the air and hoped someone would catch it and hope that the stunt would have the outcome she wanted.
So it was an immense relief three seconds later when the cut healed over and the welt disappeared, with barely a mark on the inside of her arm. She breathed a sigh and wondered whether she had the courage to look at Ace. Then his words rang in her mind.
'Coward...holding your hand...I won't mourn for you...'
Kiki found reckless strength somewhere and shifted her gaze up to look at him.

Ace was numb. He watched as the angry crimson welt healed over, and saw Kiki's face of reserved acceptance as she saw it happen. His face remained expressionless.
After a lengthy silence, in which only the twittering of nightingales and the chirping of crickets could be heard echoing over the grounds, Ace finally opened his mouth.
"Right," he said shortly. Eyes staying down, he shoved his hands into his pockets. "Well. That's interesting."
Suddenly finding the desperate desire to not be around her, he turned and started walking in the direction of the Vampires' Lair. Why was she showing him? He didn't want to have anything else to think about other than the fact that he needed to leave. Now. Right now.

Kiki sighed. She could scarcely believe that Ace was leaving, but like this? After everything that had happened.
The world spun in front of her, and she sank onto the step to sit down and sort out her thoughts.
