"I asked you something," Tsuru crossed her arms while Bebe I got to glare at him.

"Don't worry, I didn't say anything bad to him."

"Keme!" She yelled turning to pry at his arm while still driving, "Tell me."

He burst out into laughter unable to hold it in anymore while noticing her cheeks turn red, stopping in traffic to look at her, "You're red as a tomato, no you're redder than the smoke that comes out your lamp."

"Answer me." She brushed off his comment too focused on wanting to find out what happened with Allon.

"Alright." Keme gave in, "I blackmailed him to stay behind."

The word blackmail caught her attention, "With what?"

Keme, however, shook his head and focused on the road ahead while she continued to pry at him to tell her. Annoying him it's repeating the same words over and over again until he gritted his teeth in annoyance finding inner peace within him to answer her gently, "No Tsuru, I've already told you more than I should have."

Tsuru huffed and saw him laughing by the corner of her eye. The thought of Allon working against her crossing her mind, "Do you think I'm paranoid?"

The question caught him by surprise, "Paranoid..." he seemed to think it over, "Maybe a little... but aren't we all? Seriously who can you trust these days that don't want your magical powers?"

"I mean with other genie's Keme? Don't you ever feel like you'll be stabbed in the back?" She was beginning to sound frustrated.

"Some of them... but I don't worry about that. Because I'm the one that's usually stabbing in the back." His words made her slip away from him in the small contained s.p.a.ce of the car, a.n.a.lyzing what he had said he understood why," I wouldn't do that to you again Tsuru. I've already made that clear."

She didn't answer anything and looked away towards the window. The silence drowning in his words in her head, at times she really saw how much her over thought things.

"Want to call Allon?" Keme asked while getting ready to hit the call.

"Call him and what? Ask what you blackmailed him with?"

He could hear the tone in her voice, laced with resent, "W... sure, maybe he'll laugh it off and meet us at the restaurant."

"Fine, call him." The words left her mouth and he had already hit the b.u.t.ton, the phone ringing a few times in speaker so they'd both hear it. By the second ring, it was picked up.

"What do you want Keme?" Allon's irritated voice was heard.

Keme laughed before answering him freely, "You're on speaker, Tsuru wants to talk with you actually."

She didn't talk quickly looking him up and down before looking at the phone. She hadn't previously had the need to call anyone so the phone set up was a new experience for her, "Why didn't you come to pick me up with, Keme?"

Allon's squabble to himself was like a small whisper barely audible, "I wasn't feeling too well. But I'm alright now."

"Is that so..." she began s.h.i.+fting her gaze to Keme, "Well I'm glad you feel better, maybe you can meet us for dinner."

"Now?"

"Yes, now." She a.s.sured him and noticed the smirk on Keme's lips, "while you're at it, maybe you can tell me what Keme, threatened you with."

"What?! He didn't threaten me."

Surprisingly to her that he was still trying to play it off she pressed further, "I'm quite sure his exact words were, 'blackmail'. I'm so interested to know what made you back off."

"You know what, I'm kinda feeling a little sick again, I'll call you back." Just like that he hung up the phone and Keme burst into a fit of laughter.

Smacking his hand against the door while trying to keep his eyes open while driving. All the while Tsuru looked at him baffled, "What are you laughing about?"

He grinned at her direction before speaking between laughed, "I... can't tell... you!"

She crossed her arms before completely s.h.i.+fting in her seat away from him, "You know I lost my appet.i.te, let's head back to the house."

"What, no! I was going to take you somewhere nice." He protested but to no avail, Tsuru wouldn't even spare him a glance, while he would have even settle for a glare, a scowl, maybe even a rude gesture. Internally screaming at himself for having thought that blackmailing, Allon would end up in his favor, and much more for digging his grave deeper by laughing at things she shouldn't know.

"Turn home." Those were her last words to him for the rest of the trip. Refusing to look his way even when he shook her around with his hand trying to get her attention. No matter what he said or did she kept quit and turned away from him. Took his about an hour before he stopped his complaining.

So much silence between them made her eyes feel heavy. It wasn't too cold or too hot in the car so this only made it perfect for her to slowly start falling asleep. Her eyelids closing so slowly that she didn't notice when she fell asleep. While he could hear her soft snores, her head leaned up against the door practically cuddling against it.

What looked like a gentle sleep to him, was actually turning to a nightmare for her

Tsuru looked around her feeling the air around her heavy, "Keir?" She called out, they hadn't spoken to each other ever since their quarrel. He had refused to come out and she had refused to leave, going to take her lamp and bring it to him.

This would be her final attempt to have him ask for the wish, she made herself promise not to continue pus.h.i.+ng on in a futile subject, "Keir please, listen to me."
