Crimson Darkness
Chapter one
Now honestly, this is a sink or swim type of story.
Mostly because this idea just came to me all of a sudden when watching To Love-Ru Darkness 2nd. If this happens to get good reviews and you generally like this idea. Then I'll continue.
Nothing left to converse about, so let's get into the action.
It started as a normal day at Sainan high school, which from this school's past history after a certain pink haired alien princess enrolled. These type of days are rare to find nowadays.
However, today could have possibly been one of those rare occurrences.
Only, no... It did a complete one hundred and eighty turn the other way, which brings us to present time at Sainan.
It started as a normal day at school before an accident caused by Murasame Oshizu losing control on her powers, due to her fear of dogs.
Short circuited one of Lala's inventions causing the small vacuum cleaner to go berserk leading Rito Yuuki and Nana Aster Deviluke to chase after the crazed machine. Leading to several misunderstandings and trouble for the male Yuuki.
Finally Nana had enough and shot the vacuum cleaner with a beam of lighting from her tail.
It worked! Except for what remained after its destruction. Lala used for its power source being a miniature black hole, capable of destroying Sainan High School and everyone in it.
Said black hole was hovering high in the sky, its suction power began to suck everything into its depths.
On the ground level were Rito, Nana, Yami, and Momo, along with some other students.
In the girls locker room on the second floor was Lala being the only one dressed. While Yui, Haruna, Run, Risa, and Mio were lacking their underwear from an earlier run-in with Lala's invention gone haywire. They were looking out the open window, watching the black hole continue to expand in size.
"It seems staying away is a good idea."
"But at this rate...!"
Yami (Golden Darkness) and Momo Velia Deviluke commented about leaving the area. Momo however, was worried about the school and the other students, her sisters, and her love interest Rito who was here with them.
"Telekinetic convergence!"
Yelled the cute Oshizu-chan, the ghost in an artificial body tried to minimize by surrounding the rapidly expanding black hole using her telekinesis powers.
Nana turned around to find Oshizu with her index finger pointing at the black hole. Her power glowing and creating a barrier over the black hole.
"Oshizu!"
"I'll suppress it with my telekinesis and extinguish it!"
She yelled focusing all her power and mind towards containing the black hole. The feat while amazing to everyone watching, it was straining Oshizu-chan to her limits and it showed.
"I'm the cause of this situation...! Mikado-sensei told me about it. If I exhaust too much life energy, I will cease to exist. But I have to protect the school... I have to protect everyone! Even if it means I have to disappear!"
With her mind made up and her resolve showing. Oshizu-chan poured every ounce of her being to shrinking the micro black hole, which was slowly shrinking.
"Just a little more...! But."
Just before she could fully vanquish the black hole. Oshizu-chan fell down to her knees, her lost of concentration dispelled the barrier around the black hole causing it to expand again.
"Oshizu-chan!"
Haruna called the name of her friend, worried for her well-being.
Oshizu-chan was panting heavily, weaken and on her last leg. Should she continue and she will cease to exist. But she didn't want to fail her friends and everyone in the school. Oshizu-chan tried but failing to stand on her feet again.
She was at her limit.
"I'm already...!"
As Oshizu-chan began to close her eyes from exhaustion. She felt a strong hand on her right shoulder. Looking up to see the person it was connected too, she was mildly surprise to find.
"Rito-san?"
Yuuki Rito stood beside Oshizu-chan, a calming but reassuring smile directed at the cute ghost girl.
Then he began to walk forward into the epicenter of the black hole.
"Rito-san, wait- don't!"
Oshizu-chan tried calling back her friend, Haruna's crush, fearing for his safety. She tried to stand only to fall back to her knees. She can only watch the back of the retreating Yuuki male as he strode forward, unafraid.
As he continued forward, did the other girls both in the locker room and on the ground floor notice Rito moving closer to the black hole.
"Rito-san!"
Oi, Rito! What are-?"
Momo and Nana yelled their concerns for him, Yami released her wings to take off and make a grabs for him.
"Rito!"
"Yuuki-kun/Rito-kun!"
Lala and the other girls shouted the name of their friend and for some, their love interest.
Just as Yami was about to take off to grab Rito.
"Eve."
Yami along with Momo, Nana, Oshizu-chan, and the other girls were shocked by the authority in his voice. No more than Yami (Eve) who's red eyes widen in shock at Rito saying her real name.
A privilege she only allowed him to call her by when alone. What also stopped her cold was the unusual seriousness and demanding aura he let out when he said her name.
Since walking towards the black hole, Rito didn't show any emotions on his face. Slowly, he looked over his shoulder towards Yami and the twins.
They gasped at the warm smile on his lips and his eyes were closed shut. His features held not an ounce of fear. He was calm and happy, not fearing for his life when walking to a black hole.
Rito then uttered a single sentence. A sentence neither of the princesses or assassin ever hoped to hear from his lips.
"It's alright. I got this."
Was what he said. Turning to look at the black hole again. It's increased size maximize its suction power, pulling everything short of people into its abyss.
Holding his open left hand out, his left arm held high. Everyone now had eyes on him wondering what normal, everyday human, Yuuki Rito was about to do.
"They'll know of your secret should you go through with this."
A voice said, that only Rito could hear. Rito smirked and said with a sad smile, but still full of confidence.
"They would find out sooner or later. I tried to hide as long as possible. A shame my times up."
A white tattooed mark began to glow above Rito's palm. Surrounding the black hole were white luminous diamonds that began to conjoin around the black hole.
Containing it within a prison of light.
Another voice could be heard within his mind, except this one is female.
"Regardless if they accept you for who you really are. Remember, that my brother and I shall always remain beside you."
"Until the very end."
"Thank you, the both of you."
Rito had tears falling from his eyes before he wiped them away with his free arm. Renewing his gaze on the shrinking black hole. He raised his arm higher as high as it could go. He was slowly closing his hand into a fist.
The girls could see that the prison surrounding the micro black hole was shrinking the more Rito closed his hand.
"Now!"
He mentally screamed, closing his left hand fully. The prison surrounding the black hole crushed the orb of darkness. All that remained of the black hole were sparks of purple and black, they drifted to the ground harmlessly.
The crisis against the school had been avoided. Unfortunately, this opened a new door about Yuuki Rito and his involvement in destroying the micro black hole.
Momo looked where Rito was standing. Widening her eyes at the golden aura surrounding her love interest.
Rito looked into her eyes, then Nana's, Yami's, Oshizu-chan, and the girls in the locker room. Before his next words shocked them to their cores.
"I'm sorry."
Upon uttering these words. Rito vanish, wiped away with the wind.
"Rito-san"
"Rito!"
Momo and her sister Nana looked to the second floor where their older sister, Lala Satalin Deviluke had her right foot on the window still. And her wings out.
"L-Lala-san! What are you-"
"Gomen, Yui. But I need to catch up to Rito."
"E-Eh... Lala-san, you know where Yuuki-kun left to?"
"I don't. But Rito looked really sad. Something is troubling him and I need to find out what."
"Onee-sama!" Flying up to the second floor window were Lala's younger sisters, Momo and Nana who also had their wings out. "Onee-sama, let us help you and find Rito-san."
Nodding her head, Lala accepted their help with a smile.
"Thank you. Now let's go find Rito!"
Pushing off the window still. Lala and her younger sisters took to the skies, and almost if the weather could tell the emotion in the air. Clouds began to form covering the once blue skies in a sea of gray.
"Lala-san! Matte, ah mou!"
Shouted an annoyed Yui.
Wanting to know more about Rito's sudden disappearance and power he demonstrated to everyone at school. Yami also took after the Deviluke siblings.
"Yami-chan!"
Haruna tried calling but no avail. A determine look fell over her face, removing the towel covering her modesty. Haruna raced to her locker and dug through for her uniform.
Ceasing her rant about everyone ditching school to play hooky. Yui, the up-struck discipline officer and leader looked to Haruna.
"Sairenji-san?"
"Gomen about this, Kotegawa-san. But Yuuki-kun is in trouble and I can't sit around here and do nothing. Gomenasi."
Haruna was out the door dressed in her school uniform.
Wanting to know more about Rito themselves. Yui, Run, Risa, Mio, and Oshizu-chan who had joined them. The formers changed into their uniforms and followed after Haruna and the Deviluke sisters.
Plus they can leave school early, which is a win.
On the roof of one of the school buildings, a fence surrounding the outer edges to created a protective boundary for the students.
Kurosaki Mea in her black Gothic clothing that's similar to what her older sister, Yami usually wears but it's a lot more revealing, instead of a skirt she wears shorts and her top has a hood on it.
Had a look of wonder on her adorable face. Having watched the event from the roof. Because she had been contemplating on whether to reveal her true self and assist Oshizu-chan in destroy the micro black hole.
Or sit back and watch the school get destroy.
Now with the crisis avoided. Mea and Nemesis who had been hiding in the shadows, also caught a glimpse of Yuuki Rito's mysterious power.
Something she knew he didn't possess or have any remarkable talents from her observations of him.
"Ne, master? Did you know that Rito-senpai had powers? He destroyed the black hole by crushing it with his hand… Is that even possible?"
Not receiving an answer from Nemesis. Mea grew curious and looked up to the entrance to the roof.
Imagine her surprise when she noticed Nemesis was thinking, and not her usual scheming. But actually thinking hard about something that interest her.
And Mea knowing Nemesis as long as she did. She knew it was almost impossible for her master to find something interesting.
"Ne, Master…?"
Nemesis continued her thinking. A red blush appeared on her cheeks, her darken skin didn't hide it, which allowed Mea to see Nemesis' blushing face.
"Master?"
'Ohhh, this is to good to be true. If what I believe to be true, if Yuuki Rito is indeed him.'
"Mea."
"Hai, Master."
Nemesis spoke for the first time since she got here. She looked to Mea once then disappear in a cloud of dark matter.
"I'll meet you at the the front of Yuuki Rito's home."
Nemesis' voice echoed around the roof. Mea pouted cutely with her cheeks bloated up.
"Mou, master left me behind again. And why is master going to see Rito-senpai?"
Mea wondered before releasing her own wings using her trans ability and took to the sky towards the Yuuki household.
xox
As the search for the male Yuuki continued. On another side of town was the little sister of Yuuki Rito, Yuuki Mikan.
School had ended some time ago for her. Now she's accompanied by her two best friends, Sachi and Mami walking through downtown. Their current topic for discussion was Mikan turning down, yet another boy who asked her out.
Making her total of rejections at, let's be honest… who's counting at this point.
"Yare… Yare… Mikan-chan. With all these boys asking you out and you rejecting them left and right. I'm beginning to think you have extremely high standards."
Sachi said with a teasing grin. Getting the appropriate reaction from Mikan who blushed in embarrassment.
"I-It's not like that! I just don't want to date anyone right now that's all."
Her other friend, Mami giggled and threw her hat in the ring.
She's not wearing a hat, it's a metaphor.
"Mikan-chan doesn't want to date anyone because she already has a amazing onii-chan!"
"Huh?!"
Mikan reacted above script at the outrageous claims brought up.
Sachi seeing Mikan's flustered state renewed her teasing with Mami joining in.
"That's right! Mikan has her wonderful onii-chan. She doesn't need a boyfriend if he's everything like she talks about."
"Mikan-chan, when can we meet your onii-chan?"
"T-that's-"
"Mami's right, Mikan! When are you going to introduce your onii-san?"
Seeing that she was being driven into a corner. The always calm and collected, Yuuki Mikan was sweating under the strain of her friends piercing gaze.
She tried thinking of something, anything but she could think of nothing to free herself from this situation.
"I-I y-you see. Rito is-…"
"Mikan!"
Hearing her name being called. Mikan looked up to find the three devilukean sisters flying overhead towards her and her friends.
Mentally thanking them for getting rid of the spotlight on her. Mikan became concerned when she saw the worry in the pink haired sisters eyes.
"Lala-san, Momo-san, Nana-san. What's happening?"
Mikan was further surprised when Lala withdrew her wings and grabbed her by her shoulders. Worry and concern in her always full of energy green orbs.
She couldn't find a previous time that Lala would be upset.
"Mikan?" Lala shook her shoulders once. "Have you seen Rito?"
"E-Eh, Rito... Isn't he at school?"
"That's what we want to know, but Rito disappeared and now we're looking for him."
Nana's exposition caused Mikan to widen her eyes.
Rito, he was missing?
"Gomen, Mikan-san. Onee-sama, Nana, and I will continue searching for Rito-san!"
"Momo's right, Mikan. We will find Rito and bring him home! Nana, Momo..."
"Hai, Onee-sama."
"Right, Ane-ue."
Releasing her wings again, Lala took off into the sky with her sisters following behind.
While Mami and Sachi admired the flying deviluke siblings. Mikan began running ahead of her friends, leaving them behind.
Their voices were ignored and soon we're no longer heard, as Mikan sprinted back home. Worry and concern in her heart for her brother who was apparently missing.
"Rito..." She uttered under her breath, not stopping in her dash towards home.
xox
In the rich district of Sainan, in a five-star restaurant, a booth near the window sat two males. Before them on the table was what remained of their lunch, which they had finished eating.
The first male was exceptionally taller than the other male. Dressed in a black suit and white collared dress shirt, with a red tie. And a black trench coat with a hood concealing his face, except for his goatee and lips.
The second male was Yuuki Rito, only now he had removed his Sainan high uniform. His new wardrobe is a crimson red collared dress shirt with black waistcoat over it, and black tie to finish the set. Black slacks and running shoes of the same color. He wore the similar black hooded trench coat as the taller male. The difference was Rito's hood had a beak-like point at the end of his.
After some time of silence, the taller male spoke with an uninterested, bored tone but also held wisdom and experience.
"...So, you plan to tell them of your secret after all?"
"Yes, it's why I called you for lunch, Sahashi-sama. I wanted your permission to tell Mikan and the others about what happened to me in the past. I know I didn't wish to tell them but-"
"Stop right there." Minato Sahashi, otherwise known as the 'Demon King'. Held up his hand and Rito stopped immediately. Reaching for his beer and taking a swig, then placing it back on the table.
Minato cough into his hand to stop a burp in his throat. He switched his cold eyes to the young Yuuki, who was used to his stares by now.
"I can see it on your face and in yours eyes. There's no need to explain it to me again."
Rito sighed with relief in his seat, as Minato continued talking.
"You never needed my permission to tell your friends your most guarded secret. If you believe they should know, then tell them." Reaching into his coat Minato pulled out a small circular device, black in color covered in buttons and knobs. "I brought what you requested, have Yui interface with it."
Placing it on the table he reached into his pocket, a second time and retrieved a tiny computer chip, which he placed alongside the device on the table. Rito reached across the table and took both the device and computer chip.
"Plug that chip into you Data Paired Glove and it will then connect with your brain. Allowing you to project your memories onto the device that will then project them for a viewing audience. This allows you to better explain your story then talking about it."
Rito did as he was told, and plugged the computer chip to his data paired gloved mounted on his left forearm. Seeing it already doing what it was build for. Rito smiled and returned this smile to his mentor, Minato.
"Thank you, Sahashi-sama. And I apologize again for taking you away from your busy schedule."
Standing up from his seat and into the aisle of the restaurant, Rito following his example. Minato tossed a twenty dollar tip onto the table and walked to the exit.
"Don't. I was planning on grabbing a bite myself before you called. A meal such as these are good every once in a while. Good luck, Yuuki."
Walking out of the restaurant and parked before the restaurant is a black limousine belonging to Sahashi Minato. Getting into the limousine with the driver closing the door behind him, and then getting back to the driver side.
His limousine was outside the city limits within minutes.
"Thanks again, Sahashi-sama."
Rito bowed his head and raised himself once Minato's limousine could no longer be seen. Taking a deep breath he didn't know he was holding in.
A serious expression enveloped his face like back at school.
"Yui, is anyone home at the moment?"
A bubbly, exuberant female voice spoke after a couple of seconds.
"Not right now, no. However, Mikan-sama is steadily approaching the house. I calculated she will arrive home in two minutes."
"Then we still have time. Thanks, Yui."
Rito thanked his A.I and teleported back home using the same teleportation he used back at Sainan High.
xox
With the house in sight Mikan smiled as she finally reached home. As she ran she couldn't shake off Rito's sudden disappearance out of her head. Lala and the others were generally worried about him.
This alone caused Mikan to also fear for her brother's safety. She could only hope that he was found soon or he comes home on his own.
She missed him terribly.
Reaching the front gate, her breathing coming out in pants from running nearly a mile non-stop. As Mikan reached for handle.
"Mikan-san."
The little sister of Yuuki Rito turned in the direction where her name was called. To find the deviluke sisters approaching her, mid-air. When their feet touched the ground their wings withdrew back.
Momo walked up to Mikan.
"Mikan-san, has Rito-san come home yet?"
"No, I just got here myself. I didn't see Rito on my way here. Momo-san, did you have any luck."
At the shaking of their heads. Mikan felt fear grip her heart once more. She honestly didn't like how today was going.
Where exactly was her brother?
"Mikan."
Turning around to the familiar stoic response of Yami. She too, had been flying using her Trans ability to create angel wings.
"Yami-san!"
While Mikan was indeed happier upon seeing the golden haired assassin. The knowledge of her older brother, Rito still missing hampered her mood greatly.
Landing on her feet and withdrawing her own wings. Yami was approached by Lala.
"Yami-chan, have you seen Rito on your way here?"
The assassin shook her head solemnly.
"Sorry, princess Lala. Yuuki Rito was nowhere to be found."
The mood became more depressing as no news they brought helped their finding of Rito any closer.
"Rito... where did you go."
Lala gripped her hands over her heart, worried and sad about Rito, her fiancé's sudden disappearance. Her solemn mood affected the other girls, including the emotionless Yami who held feelings for the male Yuuki. Except she doesn't know how to answer these strange emotions and would never admit that she likes him because she sees him as her target.
Which is also a lie but shhhh. Don't say anything.
"Lala-san!"
Turning the opposite direction where Lala and her sisters flew from. Haruna along with Yui, Risa, Mio, Run along with her friend Kyouko who they found on her break walking through downtown. Saruyama and Run's brother Ren also accompanied the group, and lastly was Mea eating some sweets.
"Haruna!"
"Mea."
Lala and Nana said the names of their friends whom they rush to embrace in a hug.
"Why is everyone here?"
Momo asked the crowd of their friends.
"Don't know. Momioka said that Rito was acting funny and disappeared after he... destroyed a black hole...? I know a lot of things happens at school but Rito doing something like that is impossible."
"It's true, Yuuki just did something with his hand and, poof. No more black hole."
Risa said telling the truth about what she and the other girls saw Rito do. Using hand motions to sell her story better.
"Tch' Why am I here is what I want to know? Yuuki getting himself into trouble is almost a daily occurrence."
Ren said being annoyed. His sister, Run smack him upside the head.
While she understood her brother and the slight friendship he has with Rito. She still did not like it when he talked bad about him when she's near.
"That Yuuki-kun. Always getting himself in trouble."
Overhearing Kotegawa speak about Rito. Mea, who was talking with Nana couldn't help but tease the cat lover.
"It's because you like him so much is why you're worried about him. Right, Shameless-senpai?"
"S-S-Shameless!? Kurosaki-san, what your implying is not true in any shape or form. I-"
Thus began a rant by the blushing Yui telling Mea not to make up lies. Which Mea didn't pay attention to and smiled about getting a reaction from the uptight Kotegawa.
Lively up the spirits of everyone just a tad. They were still worried for Rito.
"Is this how your days are everyday, Run?"
"More or less."
Kyouko asked her friend, Run. Enjoying herself around Run's friends and the friends of the boy whom she had feelings for.
"Rin... No need to hurry, I'm sure they're still looking for Yuuki Rito."
"Ah! I found everyone... Mikado-sensei, Tearju-sensei! Over here!"
And finally joining the group in front of the Yuuki residence were the heiress to the Tenjouin, Tenjouin Saki. Accompanying her were her two best friends, Kujou Rin and Fujisaki Aya. Bringing up the rear as the last group to join were Oshizu-chan who had gone back to get Ryoko Mikado and Tearju Lunatique from the nurse's office.
Mikan was shocked to find all these people standing in front of the house, herself, Rito, the deviluke sisters and little Celine lived in. She had only returned to see if by some chance, Rito had came home. Now the walkway in front of the house was blocked by people who she knew and didn't know but knew Rito.
Coming back from her train of thought. Mikan found a crying Tearju holding onto a deadpanned Yami who didn't like being held in front of everyone but didn't wish to hurt Tearju's feelings so she left her be.
Mea looked at the back of Tearju with narrowed, empty eyes before they returned to her normal full of energy ones.
"Maa, Maa. Yuuki-kun sure is popular with the ladies if he draws a crowd this large in front of his house."
Mikado giggled behind her hand, enjoying the girls flustered expressions at her teasing, as some blushed from embarrassment and some from having feelings for, or in love with Rito.
Seeing how large the crowd had become and because they distracted her from entering her home at the off chance that Rito did return home.
Mikan ushered everyone into the house asking them to remove their shoes before entering.
It proved a small problem because exactly how many people turned up but they settled the problem rather quickly.
Walking into the living room. The crowd of teens and two adults found two things that stood out.
The first being a large chest in the center of the room. The coffee table had been moved aside. The chest was black in color decorated with engravings and a red and white banner above the chest. There was a strange symbol where the lock was, no one in the group could make it out or what it meant.
The second and perhaps biggest elephant in the room was Nemesis. Wearing her short black kimono, sitting on one of the couches, eating some sweet dumplings with Celine who was sitting on the armrest trying to take some dumplings from Nemesis.
The former obviously playing around with her to alleviate her own boredom.
"Nemesis! What are you doing?"
"Ah! Master, you came after all."
Momo and the others were skeptical about Nemesis' appearance, while Mea almost welcome the dark haired assassin.
"Yo. I suggest you all get comfortable. Yuuki Rito is just finishing up for his presentation."
Upon hearing Rito being home. Mikan, Lala, and Momo asked Nemesis in unison.
"Where's Rito/Rito-san now?"
"Oh, scary. He's in the kitchen."
Nemesis moved some of her hair to point to the kitchen. And before anyone could hurry into the next room. The aforementioned male Yuuki walked out of the kitchen still dressed in his clothing from before.
While the new clothing he was wearing drew question marks from the gathered crowd. They all smiled the same at Rito being safe.
"Hey guys, sorry about what happened at school."
He eye-smiled. His warm smile had the effect of getting blushes from a number of the girls in the crowd.
Unable to take it any longer. Mikan, Lala, and Momo rushed Rito and embraced the young man who wrapped his arms around them in a lovely embrace.
"Baka."
Mikan said softly but snuggled further into his chest.
Rito smiled and uttered a soft sorry into her ear.
Releasing the three girls from his embrace. Lala and her younger sister, Momo jabbed at Rito with multiple questions.
"Rito, where did you go? What was that you did back at school?"
"Onee-sama is right, Rito-san. Oshizu-san had the black hole under control before she lost focus. How did you destroy a black hole, and what about that mark over your hand?"
"Rito / Rito-san-"
Lala and Momo were silenced by Rito placing both his index fingers on their lips. An action they both blushed at but remain silent.
Getting their attention. Rito looked over their shoulder to see everyone had indeed followed Nemesis' instructions and got comfortable. Turning his attention back to the two sisters. Rito removed his fingers and 'shh' them.
"Everything will be revealed soon. Just trust me, okay?"
Trusting their fiancé, (Lala) and love interest (Momo). Both sisters nodded their heads and found their seats. Lala sat with Haruna on one of the sofas, who offered the former a gentle smile, one she returned gladly. Momo settled for sitting next to her twin sister, Nana who sat next to Mea.
Now standing before his sister and his friends. Normally Rito would be a stuttering mess due to his shyness. Amazingly, and to everyone's shock.
Rito wasn't backing down. His facial expression was not anything they have seen on his face before. Rito's eyes were full of determination, courage, experience, intelligence, and above all else. Pain, an emotion no one expected to see in those golden orbs of his, especially Mikan.
'Such a serious face.'
Yui and the other females said at the seriousness on Rito's visage. A red blush over their cheeks.
"Hoh, things should become interesting."
"Ara, Yuuki-kun. This certainly is a new side of you, you're showing."
Nemesis and Mikado said off-handedly at the effect his gaze held on some of the females.
Clearing his throat, getting everyone's attention on him. Rito began his explanation on today's events.
"First I just wanted to say I'm sorry for disappearing like I did. I wasn't fully confident allowing everyone to see that side of me. As for where I had gone, I went to get permission from my Mentor, and to ask for this."
Reaching into his coat pocket, Rito pulled out the circular device he had gotten from Minato.
Everyone looked at the small device in Rito's hand with curiosity, Lala especially, who enjoyed technology and inventing many machines.
Which break or malfunction leaving Rito and co. In many embarrassing positions and situations.
Hitting two buttons on the small device. The gathered crowd were awed when the small circular device began hovering next to Rito.
Seeing it work as told. Rito walked over to the lone chest in the center of the room, taking a key from his belt and put it into the lock. A 'clunk' was heard and Rito withdrew his key.
Opening it with both hands, everyone tried to sneak a peek inside as Rito dug around its contents.
"Here they are, just like I left them."
Pulling three objects from the chest. Two swords and a neatly folded white flag in both hands.
The blades were traditional Japanese swords common with the samurai of the old age. One was a katana with a gold hilt wrapped in a dark red cloth. The second blade is a wakizashi, with a black hilt and navy blue cloth wrapped around the hilt.
Rito placed the two swords on the floor before the crowd, which were immediately picked up by Rin and Mea.
Nana and Momo looked over Mea's shoulders to get a better perspective.
Both girls unsheathed their respective sword and found the steel of the blade was just as eye catching as their colorful exterior design. The katana on the bottle half which was the sharp end. It had engraved a sea of flame on the blade and just above, near the tsuba (guard) was more engraved writing.
However, Rin couldn't read what it said for the language it was written in wasn't Japanese.
The wakizashi, Mea was holding had the same engravement as the katana. Only instead of a sea of flame, it was replaced by a blizzard. And it had similar engraved writing near the tsuba, which Mea also couldn't read.
Rito handed the folded flag to Mikan and asked her to unfold it. His sister did as asked and unfolded the flag.
When she did and showing it to the other girls and boys in attendance.
It was a blank white flag with the Assassin's Creed symbol in red knitted in the center.
Turning their eyes to the male Yuuki. His eyes held the same seriousness from before, captivating the crowd in his gaze.
"This device will allow my memories to be projected like a movie. Everyone here can see for themselves, everything I have seen and done in my lifetime. I've chosen one year before I officially met Lala meaning we're going further into my past. A past I never wanted anyone to discover because.-"
Rito flicked both of his wrists and two hidden blades sprung from beneath the sleeves of his coat. Scaring everyone from the unexpected weapons to them being in Rito's possession.
"I'm an Assassin."

It was a cooling night in the middle of May. In the city of Akihabara, in one of its many impressive skyscrapers. This skyscraper belonged to DEM industries, a company that grew after World War 3 and their vision of a bright new future that they wish to integrate using the best and advance technology of this century.
DEM industries were an ant when compared to the beast that was Raven Incorporated, father of advance technology and unmanned drones which helped greatly in winning the last war.
In the building of DEM it was empty, except for a single light on the eighteen floor.
Inside on the mentioned floor were cubicles, dozen cubicles in a row, up and down. Behind one of these cubicles looking through the desk is a young man, wearing a white jacket with red ascents. Underneath the jacket is a white hoodie with the hood covering a good chuck of the man's face. Blue jeans and white, gray, and red running shoes on his feet.
Around the man's neck is a gold locket held securely by a chain of the same color.
"Here it is. You were right, the mayor did buy his win in the elections using Templar funds. Given his drop in the polls a month before the elections, he was extremely desperate if he relied on the Templars support to win."
The young man's face revealed to be Yuuki Rito.
"It couldn't be helped. You'd be surprised what a man would do when driven into a corner."
A voice said through the ear piece in Rito's right ear. Rito nodded his head and continued searching through the desk's contents.
"You don't need to tell me twice. I have seen it for myself too many times."
"I know. But with the hard copy of the mayor's official polls from last month. The authorities will have all the evidence they need to arrest him. And once the Templars see he's of no further use to them. They'll either kill him or leave him to rot in prison."
"I personally like the latter. Hold on… Yes, this is it." Finding the poll results of last month. Rito took several shots with his data paired glove and began sending the images to base. "You get them?"
"One sec. Got em. With this we have our arrest warrant. The media should have the story before noon. Alright, burn the copies and get out of there. I've already sent word to your team to withdraw and meet at the LZ."
"Already on my way."
Throwing away the copies into a bin and then lighting said bin on fire. Rito was gone and the fire died out, leaving the smell of smoke and ash.

"When I was thirteen I was recruited into the Assassin brotherhood because they saw potential in someone like me. I know I was still young when they recruited me but the prospect of being useful was too great and my own curiosity overlap my consciousness. In the short time I was recruited into the brotherhood I proved my worth and abilities with excellent efficiency. In little as two years I had graduated to Master Assassin and was made a commander of my own fireteam. A fireteam under my direct command made up from three other talented Master Assassins in their fields. Dubbed 'Red Team'."
As Rito finished his discussion, no one could say anything or ask a single question. They were still preoccupied by what they were seeing and being told.
However, Tearju and the three trans weapons were intrigued by Rito's backstory. Yami and Mea could relate with Rito and his earlier time with the brotherhood.
They themselves were made into weapons and became assassins, as it was the only thing they knew how to do.
"After the war, the Assassin brotherhood had once again prospect and our activity was global once more. But as we grew in strength. So did our sworn enemy."
xox
Now on floor twenty where the helipad was located. Rito walked with caution through the empty aisles. His heartbeat quicken with each step.
Watching his surroundings and looking over his shoulder.
"Yuuki, you're heart rate keeps jumping up every second. You ok?"
"Just caution is all. Normally these buildings have some lights on, if there are late night workers or the night janitor doings his runs. Yet, I have not seen either. I'm getting a bad feeling about this."
"You're fine. Scanners show that security had already been knocked out and the security cameras had been destroyed or hacked. Trust me, you're a ghost right now."
Seeming to have calm down from his colleague's words. Rito took a deep breath and stood up straight.
"That makes me feel much better. Thanks."
"No problem. Now hurry to the LZ. Everyone is waiting on you."
Remembering his teammates and their extraction. Rito hurried outside where soon he was standing on the DEM's helipad.
"Now just cut through the alleyway on your way down. That will lead you straight to the LZ."
Walking forward, while minding his surroundings for any surprise attacks.
Rito's eyes widen and his colleague's concern voice shouted in his ear piece.
"Yuuki! It's an ambush-"
Turning himself around upon hearing of the enemies movements. Rito dodged an energy blade that would have sliced his head in half. Unfortunately, the ear piece he was wearing was destroyed from the cut.
Jumping back and skidding against the helipad. Rito caught his breath and studied the machine before him,
"A bandersnatch? But only the DEM headquarters carries these machines. What's one doing out here?"
Hearing more movement behind him, Rito rolled to his left, avoiding another energy sword from slicing him in half.
Flicking his wrists and releasing his twin hidden blades from his jacket's sleeves. Rito avoided another slash from the first robot and thrust his hand forward into its face.
Removing his blade from the first robot and countering in time for the second bandersnatch, dodging his horizontal slash then thrusting both blades into the neck.
The bandersnatch robot cease functioning and he removed his twin blades. Watching both robots at his feet with indifference.
Flexing his wrists to return the blades away. Just then Rito's instincts screamed at him to dodge.
He however, was slow to follow as a sniper bullet dug into his lower abdomen. Rito recoiled in pain, blood fell from his lips, his legs felt weak and could no longer hold his weight.
Rito fell to his knees in pain, his left hand clutching at his wound.
xox
"Rito/Rito-san/Rito-senpai/Yuuki-kun!"
The girls shouted in worry at seeing the Rito in the memory being shot by a sniper's bullet. Rito had explained before that these were his memories before he met Lala.
Which meant he had suffered from the wound they were now seeing, some time in the past.
Mikado and Tearju frowned. Having guessed how this particular memory ends for the lovable male Yuuki.
They could only hope the girls, especially those's who have feelings for him. Can handle the truth they will soon witness.
xox
Rito gritted his teeth in pain, searing pain he felt in his lower abdomen. He could clearly feel the sniper bullet buried in his stomach.
He coughed up more blood and released his stomach's contents on the floor, blood was mixed with his bodily fluids. Rito removed his white hood to see better, the lost of blood had dimmed his vision and slowly eating at his consciousness.
He barely had any time to flinch as the bottom of a sword's hilt bashed his nose in. Rito recoiled back from the blow, grasping his now broken/bloodied nose.
His assailant prepared to finish her work by ending his life. Igniting her energy sword, a glowing pale, yellow blade made up of energy filled out the empty sword hilt, almost like a lightsaber igniting.
As she swung her sword down, a second energy sword blocked the first. The two were in a deadlock above Rito's body.
"Ike wants him alive. Remember your place, Jessica Bailey."
The person who had 'saved' Rito's life happened to be the "World's Strongest Wizard," Ellen Mira Mathers. A young woman with light Nordic blonde hair, purple-colored eyes, pale skin and a slender body. She is almost always seen wearing her combat wiring suit.
The woman now known as Jessica, clicked her tongue in annoyance. She did however, agree and withdrew her energy sword, Ellen doing the same.
Rito was regaining consciousness after the hit he had taken. Forcing himself to his knees, already suspecting he was captured and made no movement to signal his escape.
Not yet at least...
Rito lifted his head, through half-lidded eyes he could make out Ellen standing next to him.
The bane of the Assassin's existence. Rito could remember the reports of the many Assassins this young woman had slain.
But there was a light of hope that every Assassin in Japan and England are well aware of.
Looking at Ellen's right forearm, or rather the cybernetic arm she now has. A parting gift she received from Istuka Shido, a Master Assassin like him.
A year ago in the capital of South Korea, Shido had dueled Ellen. The end results was Ellen losing her right forearm and the destruction that was caused during their duel, which leveled half of the city to the ground.
It was a much needed wake-up call for the brotherhood.
If a goddess of war can bleed. She can be killed.
The second thing he now noticed was the army of robotic Bandersnatches surrounding the helipad.
If Rito had an escape plan before he'll need a new one.
Lifting his hand to shield his eyes from the intense beam of headlights from a helicopter landing on this very helipad.
"Excellent work, Ellen. You caught our little friend mid-escape."
Rito recognized that voice. While he never met the man before in person, he was familiar on who this man was.
"Ike..."
Ellen Mathers moved aside to allow the man only she called Ike. His actual name is Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott.
Or as Rito and Shido call him-
"Westcott."
"Ah! You are familiar with me, that's good. It means I won't have to repeat myself. Not that it matters as soon you'll be dead."
Westcott got down on one knee to stare Rito in his eyes. Ellen ignited her sword and held it close to Rito's neck should he try anything.
Rito inwardly winced at the heat radiating off the energy blade. Westcott smiled, a very dark smile Rito described.
"Ah you Assassins, chasing after my shadow, stalking me, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. Although I'm not affiliated with the Templar Order, you still hunt for me. Perhaps the attack on the Japanese branch had given you courage. Shido-kun truly was terrify that day, almost a year ago."
"Itsuka-senpai?"
"So you are affiliated with Shido-kun. A second year attending the University in the capital, I had heard rumors that Shido-kun had taken up students of his own. Consider my luck when I have one of his students here before me..."
Westcott stood up and turned his back to Rito. Ellen removed her blade and sheathed away.
Turning around to face him, the same dark smile on his lips, also a sadist gleam in his eyes. Westcott turned to Jessica Bailey.
"A shame that I had met a part of Shido-kun after our last meeting a year ago. I miss him terribly. However, I will settle for one of his students... Jessica, if you would be so kind."
Rito turned to the woman named Jessica, she had the happiest smile on her face when Westcott said her name.
"It will be done, Westcott-sama."
'Does she have an obsession towards him?'
Jessica Bailey walked to stand before Rito. She ignited her energy sword and raised it high above her head.
A stance one takes when executing the guilty.
Rito looked at Jessica's crazed grin then up to the sword in her hand. He studied her stance and the way she was holding her sword.
He could guess where she will swing and counter it.
Through his lidded eyes, Rito had determination and an unbreakable resolve. He understood he was going to die, whether from blood loss or from the retaliation Ellen will surely execute.
Rito understood all of this and yet, he was not afraid. He didn't, couldn't grant Westcott the satisfaction of seeing him in fear.
'I'm sorry Mikan, sorry for being a worthless older brother. Tou-san, Kaa-chan. Please look after Mikan and I'm sorry for having failed you. Goodbye."
With his mind and heart settled. Rito raised his head just as Jessica was swinging her sword down.
As the blade neared his right shoulder. Rito abruptly stood on his feet and using the added momentum and distraction in Jessica's eyes. He shoulder charged her, pushing her back and disarming her of her weapon. Not finished, Rito let out his left hidden blade and gave a horizontal slash to Jessica's chest right below her breasts.
Turning on his heels, Rito swept under Ellen's feet. Causing the woman to widen her eyes as she fell on her back.
Stopping from his spin, he noticed the Bandersnatches were no longer sitting idle. They aimed their weapons at Rito, prepared to fire.
Quickly reaching into his bag clipped to his belt. Rito pulled out a smoke bomb and toss it at his feet. The smokescreen was instantaneous and weaken everyone's vision but allowed Rito to move unseen.
"Oh my, what a show."
Westcott smiled and clapped his hands like at an event. Not minding that he was being targeted.
Rito ran straight for Westcott. He knew the smokescreen will be rendered useless as soon as the Bandersnatches switch to thermal mode.
And Ellen didn't receive her infamous title from being Westcott's secretary.
Pulling his katana from its sheath, Rito made quick work of the two robots who moved to block him. Dodging the horizontal slash by ducking under it. He thrusted his own sword through the Bandersnatch's midsection. He then spun on his heels and removed its head with a backward horizontal slice.
Sprinting again, Rito dodged the second robot's diagonal slash and gave one his own. As the robot's body fell, Rito used its body like a springboard.
His katana positioned to drive straight through Westcott.
Said director stayed rooted with a smile on his lips.
Just as Rito would finally rid a thorn from the brotherhood's side. His ray of hope was quickly extinguish.
Ellen had recovered and blocked his strike, pushing him away from Westcott. Losing his footing upon landing. Rito attempted to right himself, but was surprised to find Ellen before him, sword at the ready.
Rito barely had any time to raise his blade to block. Ellen's strike was faster and managed to knock his katana out of his hand.
The katana impaled itself some distance away.
Looking over his shoulder then back at Ellen. Rito gritted his teeth, biting back a shout of pain at the energy blade impaling him.
Out his back, impale through his chest was Ellen's energy sword.
Rito grunted at the feeling of several bullets lodging in his stomach. In Ellen's left hand was a Five-Seven handgun.
Removing the pistol then her sword. Rito fell to his knees. Blood ran down his body anew.
Running a hand through the blood soaking through his white hoodie and jacket. Rito looked on at the "World's Strongest Wizard" removing his blood off her sword. Her cold gaze burned holes into him.
"You little brat! How dare you do this to me and not take death like a man! I'll-"
"Jessica Bailey. I will not remind you again."
Ellen threaten the other woman. Pointing her energy sword at Jessica, her cold gaze promised pain should Jessica disobey her.
Clicking her tongue again but reluctantly agreed.
"Maa. A shame that this is how it should end."
Westcott walked forward standing before the kneeled Rito once again. However, instead of a smile, a frown was on his lips. His eyes held a coldness that made Rito shiver.
But he still refused to allow Westcott to see him scared.
"Ellen…"
She hands him the handgun.
Taking the offered pistol, Westcott pointed the barrel of the gun on Rito.
Right between his eyes.
Small pants escaped Rito, from both his lungs shutting down and anticipation.
"You Assassins are like rats. When one dies…"
He pulled the trigger. The sound of the gun being fired followed shortly by Rito's dead body hitting the ground.
"More come to feast off the scraps."
xox
Back in Yuuki living room, as Mikado and Tearju guessed Rito's fate near the end of the memory. Both adult women looked around at the other girls watching.
Their reactions were obvious and inspected from the beginning. Rito himself, was frowning. Mikado and Tearju understood why he didn't wish for his friends and younger sister to know of this secret.
Working for a secret organization for the past three years with no prior mention to family and friends. They could ask questions later.
Watching his death before their very eyes. Will leave more than emotional scars.
"Y-Yuuki-kun…"
Haruna whispered the name of her long-time crush. She, like everyone else watching the memories belonging to Rito. Was shocked, rendered speechless at his death.
Sitting beside her friend Lala, Haruna could see the tears falling from the alien princess' emerald green eyes. Not saying a thing, Haruna grabbed the shoulders of Lala and brought her close for a hug.
Lala cried into Haruna's chest, releasing her sadness on her friend's shoulder. Haruna remained silent and ran a hand through Lala's pink hair. Caressing her back as she did, while also letting out her own tears.
Risa and Mio, instead of their usual perverted acts of groping girls. They comforted their crying friends, embracing them with their own tears falling.
Rito could feel a knife, an imaginary knife slowly, slowly piercing his heart at the state he left his friends and Mikan in.
The only ones not affected any how were Mikado-sensei, Tearju-sensei, and Nemesis. The two women were frowning and Nemesis while shocked with her mouth slightly open but that's it.
Turning his head to look at the others. The imaginary knife continued to dig its way through his already bleeding heart.
The females and two males were in tears, shocked, or both all together. Everyone was effected by his death and Rito felt more guilty in himself because he caused this.
Lala and Haruna were in tears, while embracing each other. Risa and Mio were hugging the two girls, in tears as well.
Saki, Rin, and Aya, his seniors from school. While they were not as affected like everyone else. They too, were shedding tears. Kujou Rin seem to be clearly more depressed than her two friends and is worried with anxiety
Run and Kyouko hugged one another. The two idols embraced and crying on the shoulder of the other. Rito knew of Run's feelings borderline obsession for him, and Kyouko's own growing feelings for him.
He understood they would comfort one another, like Lala and Haruna were doing.
Her brother Ren and his best friend Saruyama were not too broken about his death like the girls were. Tears spilled from their eyes, and the dryness around their eyes showed they had been crying earlier.
Oshizu-chan, the cute ghost girl inside an artificial body created by Mikado. She also was in tears, crying firstly in her body then removing herself. Now in her ghost form Oshizu-chan chose to comfort her friend, Haruna and joined the group.
Yami, Momo, Nana, and Mea were huddle together, or at first it was the three girls and Yami was brought into their group by a distraught Mea. Momo and Nana were holding tightly to each other, crying into the other twins shoulder.
Mea held onto the shoulders of her older sister, Yami. As Mea broke down emotionally, Yami wore a shocked expression on her face.
Her target, Yuuki Rito. The person whom she dubbed as her target and will eventually take his life.
From the memory he had shown everyone and from his own lips of these being from his past.
Had been killed prior to her first meeting with him.
The promise to take his life had been taken from her before she even met him. However, having witness his death like she was there, unable to do anything but watch helplessly.
Yami felt a mysterious pain in her heart. It hurt, it hurt when she saw Rito's motionless body hit the ground near the end. It brought her discomfort with every blow and strike she saw him take, yet he refused to stop.
Suddenly, she felt her heart jump. While Mea continued to let out her tears on her shoulder.
Yami brought a hand to rest on her left breast.
She widen her eyes when she felt the vigorousness of her heartbeat.
"W-What is happening to me?"
Lastly were Kotegawa, Celine, and his sister Mikan.
Kotegawa was in tears, which honestly confused Rito at first because he didn't believe Kotegawa cared for him much like the other girls. When he remembered that like with Yami, she cannot express her true feelings well. And like with Yami, Kotegawa hides behind her creed that men are all shameless and perverts.
Him included.
Celine, bless her heart. She was thankfully asleep in Mikado's arms. The nurse had thought ahead and brought the plant girl into her arms and rocked her to sleep.
Rito smiled softly and sent a thankful smile to the nurse. Mikado returned his thanks with a sad smile of her own.
Suddenly, the room darken with a gold mist and hue surrounding Rito.
"Do you still wish you didn't tell them?"
Appearing on his right and left side were two spirits, a brother and sister wearing armor and robes respectively. The female on his right asked Rito this, the male, her brother crossed his arms.
"A part of me still doesn't but… this is for the best. It's time I came clean."
The brother smirked, unfolding his arms to lay his right hand on Rito's shoulder.
"Regardless, what's done is done. They're crying and you're responsible. Fix it."
"Ara, it's not nice to make a young maiden cry, Rito."
The atmosphere returned and the spirits vanished.
Those two spirits are the sole reason why Rito is still around when the memory showed he was killed.
Only Rito can see or talk to them.
Anyone else is unable too, due to the spirits power and backgrounds.
Returning to his living room, Rito opened his eyes in time to receive a hard slap on his cheek from the person he likely suspected would vent her anger upon him.
"Mikan-san?"
Momo and the others were surprised by Mikan standing up from where she was sitting and slapping Rito. Her own brother.
Rito couldn't blame Mikan for releasing her anger on him. He looked down at his younger sister who at first glared at him then embraced him, wrapping her arms around his back.
"Baka, baka, baka, baka, baka, baka, baka, baka, baka…!"
Mikan said repeatedly having buried her face into her bother's chest. Rito wrapped his arms around his little sister, he could feel his shirt being stained with tears as Mikan let out her frustration and sadness in his arms.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
Rito whispered into Mikan's ear. His hold of her became tighter, letting Mikan know he's still here for her.
"Interesting, Yuuki Rito. Your past certainly is a interesting one. However, I'm quite more interested in how you are alive." Nemesis' words struck a cord of recognitions in everyone's eyes, including Mikan. Who turned her head up to look at Rito. "Coming back from the dead, and a human no less?"
Looking down at Mikan, Rito flash her a warm smile. He then held Mikan with one arm, securely around her waist. His other arm was held before everyone facing up.
A golden colored fire erupted over his open palm, Rito didn't not show any side effects of holding actual fire in his hand.
The crowd stared at the strange colored flame in his hand. Rito only smiled at Nemesis.
"To answer that question, is easy Nemesis. I'm not exactly human anymore."
xox
'Humming? Where or a better question, who could be humming. Aren't I dead?'
Rito was greatly confused, firstly is he remembered being executed by Westcott. He remembered the pain from being stabbed through the heart by Ellen Mathers. And then Westcott pulling the trigger and ending his life.
He remembered everything! But why? Rito readed in a passage that when one dies, they have no recollection of their previous lives when alive.
So why could he remember everything up before his death and after when he shouldn't. And where is that humming coming from?
"Ara, you're awake now, Rito."
Who's voice is that? Who else is here with him.
Rito slowly opened his eyes. A sudden tiredness coming over him. Which in itself was confusing.
His eyes now open Rito saw the beautiful face of a woman looking down at him, a caring smile on her lips.
Rito wanted to ask who she was and where he was. When his mind was assaulted by a wave of memories both old and new.
Cringing from the sudden rush of information all at once. His eyes opened in recollection.
He knew these memories well. They were memories with him… and his little sister Mikan, and some with his parents.
There were some when he and Mikan were still kids, when Mikan still called him 'Onii-chan'. Birthdays, Christmas, and other holidays spent with Mikan. Memories of him and his best friend Saruyama. His crush on Sairenji Haruna. His introduction into the brotherhood, training, rising the ranks to become Master. Meeting his three squad mates who together made up "Red Team". The missions, training under Itsuka Shido, meeting the "Demon King" in person, and lastly his death.
Immediately, as if woken from a terrible nightmare. Rito's back ached upwards into a sitting position, his breathing was erratic and labored. Struggling to fill his lungs with oxygen. Rito sat up, breathing heavily at the revelation of his memories still with him.
He remembered everything! He had died, killed in battle. He should not have the ability to recall memories from his time alive.
"...What is this place?- ...Aren't I dead?"
Rito slowly stood up on his two feet. The face of the woman he had woken up too, forgotten. At this moment Rito only cared about understanding where he currently was.
"...W-Where am I...?"
"Your in-between dimensions, Rito. I'm sorry but you are dead."
A voice belonging to a male echoed in his ear.
"But my sister and I have resurrected you. You're currently walking a plain where light and dark never meet. A purgatory where your soul is trapped. You are banished from death is my intended purpose."
"Mou, there you go again. Becoming overdramatic, Talion."
Appearing before Rito from literally nowhere. A male dressed in full battle armor appeared like a ghost before Rito.
Surprised, he lost his balance and fell backwards onto the female who had woken him up.
"Ita, Ita. What happened?"
Opening his eyes, Rito found himself in the lap of the beauty who had woke him from his slumber and the sister to the man in armor.
"Ara, Ara. Rito, if you wanted to use my lap for your personal pillow. You need only ask?"
Quickly, as if burned from acid. Rito removed himself from the sister spirit and began apologizes profusely.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean-"
"Ara. It's quite all, Rito. I don't mind out all."
"That's enough, Claudia. We have already spent most of our magic in reviving him once. Let's avoid Rito dying a second time."
"Hai."
For a grown woman, her response was awfully childlike. Rito stood in-between the two spirits responsible for reviving him.
'These two individuals must be extremely powerful if they can revive someone from death.'
Starting with the female, as she was the first one to meet him. Rito knew her name to be Claudia and she referred her brother as Talion.
Claudia has long, wavy blonde hair with split bangs at the crown of her head, and purple eyes. She wears pure white loose robes but paired with a blouse with a frilly high collar and three-frilled sleeves and a two-tiered ruffled skirt beneath her robes. She wears dark boots, and stockings with garters.
(For Talion's outfit, if you played Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor. Or are familiar with the character, Celebrimbor. It's the armor he wore in game. Here's my best interpretation of writing out the armor. Because the wiki is not the best source.
Talion was a fair-skinned man with spiky, black hair that had a blue tint to it and was tied in a ponytail. His bangs parted down the center of his face to frame both sides of it. He wore silver, engraved armor with chainmail underneath with gauntlets, greaves, and a black skirt that stop below his knees.
"So what now?"
Rito, for once in his life was unsure of what to do. He displayed a different personality when away from his family. A side that many in the brotherhood had believed to be his true personality.
When asked, Rito replied vaguely and never talked about it again.
"You're taking the news fairly well."
"Talion is right. Many mortals would be shocked about being revived from death, yet with you, Rito. You display none..."
With his back facing them. Rito had a frown, turning his body to look at the siblings behind him. His frown showed a broken, weak visage on his face.
"I've seen and done things I'm not proud of. Things I can't forgive myself for, or wash away the blood that stains these hands of mine." Rito brought his hands close to his face, he visibly cringed at the sight of them. Imagining blood on his palms he could never wash away. "Also with being an Assassin, you aren't spared from the horrors this world has hidden. I'm just used to these types of things, that's all."
His eyes widen at the contact of Claudia embracing him, his face against her breasts. Instead of blushing, Rito remained quiet in Claudia's bosoms.
"You poor child. The suffering you have endured... We're so sorry."
"E-Eh. Why are you apologizing for, Claudia-san?"
Rito then felt a hand on his left shoulder. His senses told him that it was Talion standing behind him. Turning his head enough to find a sad smile on the brother's visage.
"What my sister means, Rito. Is that we both have been looking after you in silent. We have been watching you since your birth."
His face was grabbed by Claudia, her hands on his cheeks bringing him to stare into her tearful, yet warm eyes.
"My brother, Talion is right, Rito. Your kind and caring personality along with your pureful heart. It drew us to you like a shining beacon. 'His' will resides in your soul, making you his next reincarnation."
"Seeing as your lost. Allow me to elaborate further."
The confusion on Rito's visage was clear to the two siblings. What was this talk about 'his' will inside of him.
"You see. My sister and I were once humans just as yourself once was. We both died and were resurrected as Gods, Spirits to the mortal realm. Centuries ago, we chose a young human male who had been entrusted to defeating the dark lord, our father."
Claudia picked up after her brother on where he left off.
"He succeeded not once, but twice. Years later after the final defeat of our father, who had since been purged of his darkness. The young male, now a elderly man. He passed away peacefully but before he did, he made it so that his will, his pure heart and strong sense of justice would be reincarnated into one of his descendants."
"You, Yuuki Rito. Are his next descendant, you now carry the will and soul of our friend. My sister and I have long since wanted to meet you. We have been watching over you here, in this realm. Guiding you, protecting you. Knowing that you would proudly carry on 'his' legacy."
As the brother and sister duo spoke, Rito had been in deep concentration. Going over every detail and word he had heard from both spirits.
He couldn't find any deceit or lie in their words. Meaning he could safely trust their word.
Gentling pushing himself away from Claudia's impressive breasts. Rito stood before the two spirits, his expression showed understanding and resolve.
Two emotions that were not familiar with the male Yuuki.
"I believe you, and you have my deepest thanks for reviving me. If what you said about my soul being banished is true. Then... where do we go from here?"
xox
If the shock of Rito's death shocked their hearts, then this next revelation shocked their cores.
Resurrected by Gods! Yuuki Rito had literally done the impossible and met two Gods who are incredibly loyal to him. Resurrecting him from death and revealing that they both have been looking after Rito long before he opened his eyes to this world.
To some this was far more unbelievable than discovering Lala's alien heritage a year ago.
Sure aliens are neat and all. But how can their jaws not drop from a God! Two real life Gods walking this world through Rito.
Does this make Rito, a living God? A God given a human body and could freely walked this earth through Rito?!
The girls and two males looked, shell-shocked and incredulously at the nervous smiling Rito. His little sister, Mikan also couldn't believe the revelation of her brother being resurrected by two Gods.
"Ara, Ara. I believe you broke them, Rito~"
Claudia appeared standing beside Rito. A hand to her lips, smiling, a mischievous grin behind the sleeves of her robe.
"They'll be fine. I mean, they have met aliens, had the Earth nearly destroyed, and many other things that has made our everyday lives exciting or remorseful, mostly for me."
Rito had a deadpanned expression upon remembering his many accidents around the female population of Sainan High.
Claudia giggled at his answer and disappeared. The first to recover from their shock induced state was Lala.
"Sugoi, Rito! Meeting actual Gods! That's so amazing!"
Everyone, including her two little sisters sweatdropped at her answer. Leave it to Lala to completely misread the situation. Rito, although was smiling. Glad to see that after everything she had witness.
Lala was still Lala, and he wouldn't have it any other way.
"This girl is completely innocent and a bit of a airhead. You know how to pick them, Rito."
Talion's voice was heard in the back of Rito's mind. He knew Talion was correct, already familiar with Lala's personality himself.
Mikan grabbed hold of Rito's sleeve. Getting his attention as he stare down at her small form.
Rito became briefly surprised by Mikan pushing herself onto her tip-toes and lean into his chest. Her cheek against his heart.
Mikan released a sigh of relief at the steady heartbeat from within Rito's chest.
When she realize the closeness the two were in. And from the familiar giggling she heard from Momo.
Rito and Mikan looked to the couches, to find Momo giggling at the siblings special moment of closeness.
Mikan blushed heavily and pushed away from Rito.
"D-Don't get the wrong idea, I-I just wanted to make sure he's breathing! That's all!"
"Ara, Mikan-san. Sure, we'll believe you and not suggest the obvious."
Momo teased the blushing Mikan. Rito laughed nervously, a hand where Mikan had punch him.
She has an impressive right hook. He won't need to protect her against boys, she's got herself covered already.
"Ah! So is Rito-san a Ghost too?"
"Not quite, Oshizu-chan." Mikado said to the lovable ghost girl. Her face adopted a serious look, she turned to Rito who had caught her gaze. A serious look on his visage. "Yuuki-kun, there's more that you're not telling us, is there?"
Rito looked down at his feet, a forlorn, solemn frown on his lips. Mikan and Momo ceased their bricking and turned to Rito. Everyone else followed suit, staring at the quiet Rito.
Mikan slowly walked to stand before Rito.
"Rito... Is there more your not telling us?"
Mikan, Mikado, Lala, and everyone else watching had their eyes directed at him. Rito had said at the beginning he would tell them everything about his past.
Already they know of his Assassin background, his death, and being resurrected by two spirits.
However, after everything. He still hesitated to tell them everything. He just couldn't imagine their hurt expressions once his secret is out.
The world around him faded into the outer dimension, the two siblings inhabited. This world was dark and gray, a cold mist shrouded the living room.
Talion and Claudia appeared bathed in a gold light standing besides Rito. Serious expressions on their visages.
"You should tell them."
Rito turned to Talion who stood on his left.
"It's for the best..."
His cheek became warm at Claudia resting her hand against his cheek to turn his head to her's.
"We'll always be by your side, Rito."
She said with a sad smile.
Her and Talion disappeared and the world returned to normal. Rito opened his eyes to still find everyone staring at him. Awaiting an answer from him.
Taking a deep breath to calm his rapidly beating heart. He sighed then turn to meet Mikado's eyes.
"Although I was revived. There was a... catch, and a heavy price that needed to be paid. Both myself and the two Gods. The first deals with my resurrection. It's a known study that after a person dies. The heart and brain will remain active for a minute and shuts down after. I had been dead for a total of three days when they resurrected me. Meaning that reviving me through any normals means is impossible."
Mikado and Tearju's frown deepen upon hearing this revelation. Mikan and the others took the news with a heavy heart.
"T-Then..."
"Rito-san?"
"Unfortunate."
Haruna, Momo, and Rin spoke quietly. Understanding what Rito was implying.
"T-Then, Rito..."
"Yeah, that's right Nana. I'm unofficially dead. A cursed soul forced to walk the earth without knowing the peace of death. I'm practically immoral."
He could see their depression and sadness in their eyes behind the tears. Though he was crying on the inside, Rito knew he had to continue.
"The second was after being resurrected. Talion and Claudia are the names of the two Gods. They're siblings. When they revived me they knew that the limit had long expired. So they were forced to use most of their powers, the both of them together just to revive me. When they succeeded, they had used too much power and were forced to reside within my body to recover their strength."
"In short term, they're both your life support. Should one or both leave your body-"
"Then I'll die."
Rito stated bluntly. His serious expression and blunt truth to Tearju said enough to everyone that this wasn't a joke.
"Rito..."
Lala wanted to run into Rito's arms and cry into his chest. She held herself back because of her friendship with Haruna. Lala understood that Haruna liked, loved Rito too.
While she agreed to share Rito with Haruna. Lala wanted Haruna to be happy too and confess her love for Rito on her own.
So with great will, Lala stayed in her seat.
Rito had his left palm face upwards and the golden flames burned alive in his hand. Rito's eyes focused on the flame.
Soon his body shimmered from one side to the other in a golden light. First it was Talion's then Claudia's form that shimmered over Rito's own form.
Everyone saw for themselves with their own sight. The two spirits that appeared in the memory had indeed taken refuge inside Rito's body.
Dispelling the flame in his palm. Rito sighed heavily and scratch the back of his head. He was tired, drained emotionally from today's events.
Mikan wanted to embrace him in a comforting hug after witnessing how tired Rito is. Momo, Lala, and a few other girls wanted to do the same.
To be there for Rito when he depressingly needed help.
"Kukuku..."
Nemesis grinned and laughed mischievously from where she sat.
"Yuuki Rito. You had single-handedly achieve what most have desired for centuries. The gift of immortality. Surely there's more for you to show us."
'If Yuuki Rito is him!'
"Master..."
Mea sent a questionable look at Nemesis who ignored it. Rito sighed again for the umpteenth time today.
"Ha, can't hurt to stop now, right."
xox
The two Gods, Talion and Claudia explained everything to Rito. First with bringing him back up to date about the present time. He had been dead for three days.
Next they went into further detail about themselves and their history with the person who's will he inherited. Rito had been fascinated by the legend he now walks.
The will of his ancestor who stood for Justice, Honor, and Family. Three tenants he himself followed in the Assassins.
Lastly was training. Rito is by no means a normal, everyday human. Not anymore at least. With two powerful Gods residing in his body. They have given him full access to their knowledge and power.
Rito's own swordsmanship, intelligence, and skills had been augmented by the Gods power. And with the addition of their own powers added to Rito's now vast library of strengths.
Rito was indeed, a God walking amongst the living.
During their time together, Rito asked both spirits about their strengths. Curious to learn more about them.
Claudia excels at archery, magic, and is talented with knives and short swords. She wields two short swords for dual-wielding.
Talion also excels at archery, like his sister. Can use magic although not on the same level as Claudia. A master swordsman, excellent tactician and strategist.
Rito would prove to be a terrifying foe and dependable ally in the near future.
For two days straight, Rito would train his newfound abilities and sharpen his existing skills he knew while alive.
After the second day. Rito had requested to go to the funeral the Assassin's were having in his honor. He was informed by the two spirits that the brotherhood were aware of his death.
The funeral is to honor his sacrifice and legend he left behind.
Reappearing in a golden aura of light. Rito could freely enter and exit the outer dimension. The dimension where Talion and Claudia inhabit doesn't follow the rules of time and space.
Hence, Rito ability to teleport and travel many miles, while in the outer dimension.
Wearing his Assassin uniform, except for the white jacket and hoodie. They had been switched to black.
Rito surveyed his surroundings, walking through the empty hallways of the brotherhood's hideout in Sainan.
"If the halls are empty. Then that means everyone is attending the ceremony."
"Nervous?"
Talion spoke through the telepathic link, his sister, Claudia created to allow communication between the human realm and the outer dimension. Here, the two Gods may talk with Rito from the outer dimension.
It's proved a great asset for them.
"A little. I'm just sadden at the fact that I could not do more for the brotherhood. And here, I'm being honored by the Mentor and all of my comrades for my bravery and efforts to the brotherhood."
They remained silent as Rito arrived at the inner hall where the ceremony is taking place.
Hiding behind a large stone pillar above the mess hall. He looked downwards behind cover, listening to the Mentor give a speech detailing his many achievements to the brotherhood.
Scanning the crowd for his team knowing they would definitely being in attendance. Rito spotted the three other Assassins who served alongside him on "Red Team".
They were standing side to side in the front row. The Mentor had mentioned his team in the speech and their recorded missions.
His team consisted of two females and two males, he was one of those males, being their leader.
Rito's attention was focused on his team and their depressed expression and tears cascading down their eyes, as the service continued.
He'd begin with the left and move on to the right, given where they were standing shoulder to shoulder.
First is a beautiful buxom young girl with a womanly figure, and long jet black hair, that covers her forehead and most of her eyes, it is also back length. She has very gentle dark brown eyes, which, like her personality, shows her has a kind person.
A female samurai in modern times, Ayatsuji Ayase.
Second is the other male besides Rito. He is a fairy handsome young man with glasses over his blue eyes, which were dark and mysterious, yet they also showed his intelligence and cold but also kind personality. He had straight dark blue hair done in a ponytail, with slightly parted bangs over his forehead.
The computer wizard and loyal bodyguard, Ishida Hideaki.
Third and finally, and the youngest member of their team at the age of thirteen. She has long silver hair, with two small twin tails with a braid wrapped around each, and grey eyes. For her small size and young age. She is unusually well-endowed for her age.
The loli swordswoman and his training partner, Toudou Kirin.
These three were hurt the most by his apparent death. They were in tears, including the stoic and emotionless Hideaki.
"I always knew that cold, unmoving guy had a heart."
Rito lamented with a heavy heart.
Kirin was crying opening, she buried her face into Hideaki's sleeve as he was standing to her right. He ran a hand through her silver hair and another on her back, in hopes of calming her down.
His own tears spilled behind his glasses.
Ayase was crying, much like her teammates, her lips quivered as her tears mixed with her mucus. She ran her sleeves to get rid of the liquid from her lips.
Having seen enough, Rito stood up and walked away. Talion and Claudia appeared in spirit form.
Invisible to the world except from Rito who was capable of seeing them.
Talion crouched behind the pillar to look at the funeral below.
Claudia held her hands together over her chest, worried for Rito's well being. Looking down the hallway he now walk down.
"My time as an Assassin is officially over."
Rito disappeared from these halls, never to walk them ever again.
xox
"With the brotherhood announcing my death to everyone in the order. Especially to my team whom you saw from the memory. With news of my death made official, I denounce myself as an Assassin. And I returned to my everyday life."
Rito finished explaining that after leaving the funeral service, he retired from being an Assassin.
"Rito-san..."
Momo, her two sisters, and many of the other females were depressed and clearly worried for Rito. Their hearts ached when a pained frown envelope his visage.
Neither of the girls, nor Mikan had ever seen him in so much pain.
Mikan (who now sat beside Yami) was worried for her brother. Tears, her own, started to leak from her eyes.
Yami used her hair to wipe away the drops of water, then she laid a comforting hand on Mikan's shoulder. The younger sister of Rito sent a thankful eye smile to her and proceeded to wipe her tears with her own hand.
Yami smiled back at Mikan and turned her head away. Since the reveal of Rito being an Assassin himself. Yami didn't know what to think or say.
Lifting her head to steal a glance at Rito.
She could see the hurt and pain in his eyes. The normally warm, kind, and gentle golden orbs she had come to enjoy seeing. Were now hollow and empty.
Yami could understand his pain, while they don't share the same fate. Yami understood the pain Rito is experiencing.
'His eyes... they are similar to my own.'
Not just Yami but Mea as well thought the same.
Mea looked on. Like with Yami, her older sister. Mea also knew that feeling Rito is going through.
"Rito-senpai. Your eyes are the same like mine and Yami-onee-chan's?"
Being seated next to her, Nana and Momo turned around to face Mea.
"Mea, what do you mean? How can you and Rito be the same?"
Seeing her slip of the tongue. Mea hid behind a smile to deceive the two sisters.
'I haven't told Nana-chan and Momo-chan about when I first met master Nemesis. They know that I'm a weapon with trans ability like Yami-onee-chan.'
"T-That's- It's nothing, Nana-chan. I was saying that Rito-senpai and I share the same sadness when our favorite treat is all gone!"
'I'm sorry, Nana-chan. I will tell you one day.'
Her feint had worked as Nana and Momo both took the bait.
"Mea! I have told you not to hang around that beast."
"Mea-san. When was the last meeting and where did it take place?!"
Nana chastise Mea, while Momo wanting to forward her Harem Plan. Hounded Mea for answers about this secret meeting between her and Rito.
xox
It was a cool night in the month of May. Five days had passed since Rito returned home.
He had waited for Mikan to fall asleep before entering the house himself. Mikan had no knowledge of his Assassin heritage, and Rito wanted to keep this from her for good reason.
However, he never expected to be slain during a mission and be revived some time after.
Rito had planned before joining, that he would remain with the Assassins until his thirtieth birthday. He would then retire and start a family of his own with his long-time crush, Sairenji Haruna.
Whom he would have confess to and ask for her hand in marriage.
xox
"Way to go, Haruna!"
Lala cheered with excitement and joy for her best friend. Wrapping the clearly blushing and embarrassed Haruna.
While they could view his memories from his perspective, they could also hear his thoughts.
Haruna upon hearing twice now, that Rito had a crush on her and wanted to marry her later in their lives.
She was frozen stiff.
A massive, atomic blush overtook her features. Unresponsive to Lala's cheering and congratulations.
xox
With this development. Rito was unsure of what his future was now.
Entering his sister, Mikan's room. Using stealth to quietly move to the side of Mikan's bed.
Rito looked down at the calm, and peaceful smile of his little sister's face as she slept.
Since it was only him and her living in this house. Mikan had taken upon herself to watch over the house and take care of both of them.
Slowly with caution fingers. Rito laid his right hand on Mikan's left cheek.
But quickly pulled away when he noticed the burning skin coming from Mikan's cheek.
Rito grasps his hand, as if he were bitten. He brought it away from Mikan's head. The burning of her skin stopped and thankfully left no scar on her cream colored skin.
Gasping and with a frighten look in his eyes. Rito remained still, fearing of his powers harming Mikan should he lay a hand on her body again.
Bringing both hands out before his eyes. Rito studied the two glowing seals above his palm, they shined like beacons of golden light through the darkness of the night.
"Sorry, Rito. I should have guess this would happen. Here."
Using her knowledge of dark magic. Claudia created black skin tight gloves over Rito's hands.
Flexing his fingers to get a feel with his hands now covered.
"Now you should be capable of touching objects and people, without the burning effect it leaves."
Trusting her words. Rito again, laid a hand on Mikan's cheek.
Releasing a sigh of relief that the burning effect didn't activate. His relief vanished instantly at the heavy reminder he now bears.
"To be reminded that I could only interact with you like this... I truly am curse. I'm so sorry, Mikan. I'm so sorry."
Rito stroke Mikan's cheek with a gentle touch. He smiled briefly behind his tears. Leaning his head downwards Rito kissed Mikan's forehead and removed himself, a smile on his lips.
"I guess being curse isn't so bad. It means I can continue to protect you." Rito removed his hand from Mikan's cheek, he took two steps back, watching the peaceful expression on his sleeping imouto's face. "It's okay. Just leave everything to your onii-chan. No one will ever lay a hand on your pretty little head. I'll make sure of that."
Kissing her cheek and brushing a few strands of hair from her face. Rito silently left Mikan's bedroom.
Closing her door behind him.
Now within the safe haven of his bedroom. Rito jumped onto his bed. Laying on his back, he stared at the ceiling above him.
Deep concentration over his visage.
Talion and Claudia appeared at the foot of his bed.
"If I can't die because my soul was not at peace. Also from your intervention on reviving me. I-I don't know what there's left for me to do?"
The two siblings listen to Rito. Both chose to get more comfortable instead of standing.
Claudia sat on the side of Rito's bed and Talion chose the computer chair near Rito's desk. Claudia took Rito's hand with her's. Given Rito's special case, he could interact with both Talion and Claudia both in the human realm and outer dimension.
"The Assassins were all I knew and I can't go back with them thinking I'm dead. Living my new life as I normally did before my death. It seems impossible."
"What about your family? Your soul couldn't find peace because you feared for their safety, no?"
"Talion is right, Rito. It will take time for your life to return to it once was. But never despair, we're here to support you in anyway-"
"And every way. Your not alone in this, Rito."
Moving to a sitting position. He sent a grateful look to the siblings.
Without their support and kind words, Rito wasn't sure how he'd would cope with returning from the dead.
"Thank you, the both of you. I'm just still trying to accept everything that has happen. I just feel like my purpose in this world has been fulfill and there's nothing left for me to do now."
Closing his eyes, Rito knew the two Gods disagreed with his words and were about to speak against it.
"Find Tearju Lunatique."
xox
"Eh? Why would Yuuki-kun need to find Tearju-sensei?"
Yui questioned, as everybody turned to face the blonde haired teacher. Who's expression showed she was close to tears from all the attention she was receiving.
xox
Widening his eyes. Rito looked around the darkness of his room. When he could see the same surprise on both God's faces.
"You heard it too?"
"Yes, although I never believed I would hear his voice again."
"Huh? You recognize that voice?"
Claudia answered for Talion.
"We do. Talion and I know the man as Galileo, he's a God like us. Only his real name was Arusu. We and the other Gods called him Galileo because of his fascination with the stars above."
Claudia giggled behind her free hand having brought it up to her lips.
"He mentioned to find someone named Tearju Lunatique. Ring a bell?"
At the shake of both God's heads. Rito's mood grew depressed.
When-
"A-Ahhhh!"
Rito screamed suddenly, in a massive amount of pain. His hands glowed gold before they traveled fully up his arms, his eyes glowed gold as well before Rito lost consciousness.
xox
"Rito-san?"
Momo shot a worried glance to her love interest. Rito stroke his chin in thought, then nodding to something in his mind.
"What you just now witness are visions that would come to me at random moments in time. These visions like the first one in the memory contained valuable information or event that would happen some point in the future. For what Tearju-sensei has to do with any of this. That will be revealed soon."
"Yuuki-kun... Do these visions of yours, do they bring you pain when you have them?"
Haruna would ask something concerning Rito's health.
The others agreed with a nod of their head. Having seen the huge amount of pain Rito was in with just hearing his screams alone.
Rito faced his crush, Haruna.
And smiled.
Haruna and the other girls knew immediately that it was forced.
"Sometimes you must experience pain to protect those you love."
xox
It had been a whole month since Rito was revived by the two Gods, Talion and Claudia.
As predicted that first night home, it took several weeks for Rito to fully accept his new life and combined it with his old one.
It took time, much time to accept his new way of living. But he'd triumph at the end. While the month of May progressed slowly. Rito used the nights to train in his new abilities and return to his former shape.
Under the tutelage of Talion and Claudia, of course.
Rito had regained his previous fighting prowess and obtained the blessing of the two Gods. Having a good branch on using their powers respectively. Rito has also obtained the right to both of their weapons as well.
As for his family at home-
Mikan was still the same. She didn't suspect Rito's new powers or any changes done to his person.
Rito was glad Mikan remained oblivious and continued to live his life before his death.
Since he hid his Assassin life from Mikan. And with coming back from the dead, Rito had decided he would change the way his life had been until now.
He had been given a second chance at life.
Rito wouldn't throw this amazing opportunity away!
It was the second day of June, and Rito was waiting in the living room. Suitcase by his feet.
He was going off to a summer camp for four weeks. He had asked his parents for permission and had the written consent from both.
This had been two months in the making. With Rito asking his parents for permission in the late month of April.
Himself, Saruyama, and many of his male classmates were going. While Rito was happy about finally leaving on the trip for the summer.
Mikan, his little sister appeared on his mind.
Recently, in the past month since his revival. His relationship with his little sister had grown.
Not that they had a horrible relationship in the first place.
He helped around the house more, he also assisted her with the cooking. They spend more time together, talking, and getting to know more about the other.
Rito enjoyed the close bond he shared with Mikan. While she still didn't call him onii-chan like she use too. Rito accepted the close relationship they shared above a petty desire.
Hearing the bus pull up outside his house. Rito stood up and grabbed the handle bar for his suitcase, hurrying to the front door.
He froze temporarily when he found Mikan standing there, a small frown on her lips.
"Mikan..."
Rito and Mikan had said their goodbyes at breakfast this morning. He was expecting the normal goodbye when either of them leave for school.
However, Rito didn't expect Mikan's surprise for him at the front door.
"Rito! What are you doing?! We're waiting on you."
Saruyama yelled from one of the windows on the bus. The other students began shouting for Rito to hurry up.
'Crap, I need to hurry up or-'
Rito's eyes widen at the sudden and warm hug he received from his little sister.
Looking down to the golden orbs of his little sister. Mikan blushed and turned away, not wanting him to see her flushed face.
"Don't take this the wrong way. I-I just wanted to see you off and wish you luck."
"Ara, Mikan-san needs to be more honest with herself."
Claudia appeared beside him. Mikan couldn't see or hear her. Meaning she would never hear anything Claudia or Talion say. Especially Claudia
Because Claudia likes to tease Mikan, even when she cannot be seen.
Ignoring Claudia, Rito wrapped his arms around Mikan. She flinched at the sudden action.
"Don't worry, I'll be home before you know."
Letting go of her, Rito wanted to tease his little sister before leaving for the summer.
Claudia has become an influence on him.
Before fully removing himself from Mikan. Rito leaned forward and kissed Mikan's forehead. She blushed from the unsuspecting contact, mouth opened, her cheeks were burning brightly from her blush.
Rito smiled at his sister's flustered appearances, while he was grinning like a wolf on the inside.
'That's for always teasing me about Haruna-chan.' "See you, Mikan!"
Running out of the house with his luggage trailing behind him. Rito was already aboard the bus and half way down the block, when he heard the frustrated cry from his little sister.
"Y-Y-Y-You Baka!"
xox
"Ara, Mikan-san. That reaction when Rito-san kissed you. Could you possibly?"
Mikan who was sitting next to Yami, appeared beside Momo in blindly speeds, with her hands covering Momo's mouth to prevent her from finishing that sentence.
"Such a quick reaction. Perhaps Momo-san is on to something about Yuuki-san relationship with her brother."
Mikado commented and giggled at the embarrassed flush on Mikan's cheeks.
Who couldn't do anything less she risk Momo saying something that wasn't true.
In the end, she cried from indecisiveness.
Yami used her hair and transformed it to a giant hand to pat Mikan on her back.
Hoping to soothe the troubled girl.
xox
Now leaving Earth's orbit. Rito piloted his ship away from the Earth's gravitational pull.
Once successfully away he set in the coordinates on the ship's navigation computer.
On where Rito obtained a working space ship and knew how to pilot one. Well… he knew a few people he could safely call 'friends'.
-For the ship's design. If you play Destiny or know of Destiny. Look up the "Aspect of Glass". It's the ship you receive from completing the "Vault of Glass" raid. At least Bungie got the cool designs of their ships right.
Finished typing in the correct coordinates for his unknown destination. Rito spun around in the pilot's chair. The siblings appeared behind him.
Claudia expected the ship with curiosity.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Do you? I'm not positive on who this Tearju person will be. But you and sister vow for Galileo's words. And who am I to turn away from your wisdoms. Besides, this may be fun."
Nothing more was said as the ship finally entered hyperspace.
...
Exiting out of hyperspace, Rito looked out of ship's windshield to see the coordinates he received from his vision had led him to what appeared to be slum-like planet.
Appearing besides him. Talion and Claudia looked on as well and shared Rito's confusion.
"T-This is where Galileo told us to find? It's a dump."
"I agree with you, dear sister. Galileo never really was the right minded person. Always locked away in his lab."
Removing the autopilot, Rito took the wheel of his ship.
"It's not the planet we're after but the person who's on that planet. All though I am curious why she's here of all places."
He began their descend to the planet's surface below.
His search began here.
...
Successfully landing his ship on the planet's surface, which looked far worse on the ground then from space.
"Disgusting. Who would want to come to this filth. Why would anyone want to live here."
Claudia said with disgust, careful where she was walking.
She was not wrong. The planet's surface reminded Rito of a slum-like environment back on Earth. There was garbage everywhere, trash and other wastes littered the ground they stood on. A stream of water was green in color and had garbage floating in it.
The sky is gloomy, and depressing. Gray clouds blocked any sunlight and there was a heavy mist of smog hovering in the air.
A horrible environment to reside in, but what Rito desperately wanted was answers to why this Tearju person. On why is she here of all places.
"Come on. I don't want to be on this planet any longer than I have to."
Turning his hood of his all black clothing over his head. It was a gift from his friends and fireteam, an outfit they named… the dark assassin.
A black overcoat with a dark brown shirt underneath, black pants and boots, with the belt of the same color. And a pair of skin tight gloves to finish the outfit. It also came with a black face mask which covered the entire lower half of his face.
An excellent gift if he did say so himself.
Following the gold mist from the outer dimension, there was nothing Rito couldn't see when inside this dimension. The gold mist had been leading Rito deeper into the slums, here he surveyed his surroundings to find the planet's inhabitants, if there were any.
Were in horrible living conditions and health as well. They looked at him in fear, backing away from both his menacing appearance and the twin swords on his left hip.
"How awful."
"This is the results when a galaxy is at war. A shame for those caught under it's unforgiving hand."
Talion walked beside Rito. He nodded his head as the trail came to a stop.
Returning from the outer dimension. The gloomy atmosphere and horrible smell assaulted Rito's senses.
Standing before a broken down shack made of many materials found around the planet. They notice that despite it's outer appearance.
The shack did have a home-like aura and vibe to it. The occupant of the house had really done a good job.
"This is the place."
"It would seem so."
"Please hurry, Rito. I don't want to remain here any longer."
Nodding his head. Rito calmly approached the front door and knocked twice, waiting for an answer.
"Just a second, I'll be right there."
A female voice answered from inside. Seconds later the door opened to reveal a beautiful woman had answered the door.
Rito was thankful for the facemask hiding his features. Otherwise his blush would be seen at the sight of whom he believed to be Tearju.
'B-Beautiful.'
"Ara, Rito~ I never took you as someone who likes older women in such a way~"
'D-Don't get the wrong idea.'
Rito tried justifying himself amongst the laughter of the female god. How could he not? Tearju Lunatique was indeed a beautiful woman.
Tearju has long blonde hair and green eyes, she also wears glasses. Her choice of clothing was clear, in comparison to the other occupants on the planet. A white lab coat over a black turtleneck and blue jeans. A pair of fuzzy slippers on her feet.
Rito also noted her figure which was impressive, with large breasts and a curvaceous body.
xox
"Shameless."
Yui said with distastes, glaring at the sweatdropping Rito.
"Oh my, If Yuuki-kun had such tastes in women. I would have gladly offered myself to him."
"M-Mikado-sensei!"
Upon hearing Mikado-sensei's comment. Yui blushed and turned her attention to focus on the busty nurse. Several girls in the living room blushed as well, but said nothing more.
"Ufufufu, Rito-san~"
Momo and Lala were the only two girls who weren't blushing up a storm. And for two different reasons.
Momo giggled perversely behind her hand. Looking straight at Rito through lidded eyes. No doubt planning something to further her Harem Plan.
Lala... well she's Lala. Rito prayed that she always remain herself.
xox
"Um… Hi. I'm looking for-"
He didn't finished his line because Tearju had shut the door in his face.
A deadpanned look over his visage. Rito's left eyebrow twitched dangerously.
"I like her. She seems like a fun woman to have around."
Ignoring Claudia's teasing. Rito schooled his features and knocked again.
"I-I'm not here! Please come another time- No! I meant, don't come back."
Now confused, forgetting about having the door closed in his face. Rito stepped away from door.
Talion appeared behind him examining the shack.
"She's scared. The reason for her fear is a mystery."
"If someone is after her to inflict harm. She must have mistaken me to be a bounty hunter or something. Her reaction suggested much."
"Perhaps, but best we ask her ourselves."
Fading away through the wind. Rito approached the door a third time, but didn't knock.
Instead he would uses his powers to teleport into the home and hopefully get answers from Tearju. Concentrating, Rito closed his eyes and focused on where he wished to teleport.
Soon his body shimmered then faded out of existence.
Rito had used the same method of teleportation the siblings used.
Reappearing inside the house's living room he guessed. Through his reflexes Rito grabbed the frying pan Tearju attempted to hit him over the head with.
Gently taking the frying pan from her grip. Tearju immediately backed away until she hit a wall. Her expression is she was in tears and shaking like a leaf.
Rito and the siblings were surprised that she hadn't fainted from terror.
Placing the frying pan on the surprisingly clean sofa. Rito gently approached the crying Tearju.
"P-Please don't kill me... I-I-I do whatever you want. Take what you want. Just please let me live."
Stopping in his stride. Rito was generally confused about the misread of the situation.
"Poor girl. She half scared to death."
Claudia was comforting Tearju, patting the crying blonde on the back. Not that Tearju knew Claudia was standing behind her.
'Who could want her dead? That's what I want to know."
"Calm yourself, Rito. One task at a time. First let's ask this woman what she knows, then we'll ask her about these assassins hunting her."
"Although I have only met this Tearju woman for less than three minutes. I do wish to help her too. Rito, please help her."
"Alright I'll see what I can do."
Rito calmly said as he once again approach Tearju.
She was again about to beg for her life, when Rito held his hands out in defense and reached for his hood.
Removing the article of clothing. Rito's orange and spiky hair was revealed to the alien woman. This seem to have a positive effect because Tearju had calmed down.
"Please... allow me to explain myself. I'm not here to harm or kill you." Receiving a hesitant nod from the woman. Rito continued. "I'm not here for the reason you believe I am. I just want answers."
"A-A-Answers? What for."
Rito came closer to Tearju standing only a foot away from her. Tearju didn't run away or hesitated about his close proximity.
"About what's happened to me..."
…
Now inside Tearju's secret laboratory hidden underground.
Swimming inside a Regeneration tank. Is Rito in only his boxers, he had to remove his robes and weapons upon Tearju's orders.
Standing behind a control panel going over various data and pressing an assortment of buttons. Tearju was completely focused on the task at hand.
Looking over the control panel at Rito. He had a number of tubes and patches attached to his body. A breathing mask over his face to help him breathe underwater.
"Are you ready?"
'I hope I am...' "I'm ready."
"Beginning procedure now."
Tearju hit some buttons on the panel, which soon led to water filling the tank Rito was in.
Rito shut his eyes closed and patiently waited for the water to fill the tank. Once the tank was flooded with water. Tearju clicked some more buttons.
Suddenly Rito became extremely tired while inside the regeneration tank. Rather than fight it he allowed himself to rest.
Now asleep within the regeneration tank. Tearju brought up his vitals, seeing everything was green with no danger to his health. Tearju left the control panel, in her hand was a tablet with Rito's vital signs.
Looking at the information provided on her tablet. Tearju glanced up at the sleeping Rito.
An emotional look of concern flooded her visage. Tearju laid a hand on the glass, her eyes brimming with tears.
"You poor soul... Who could have done this to you?"
On the tablet showed Rito's skeleton figure and vital organs. The figure also revealed the scars inflicted upon his skin, even the injuries he suffered at the hands of Ellen.
For a brief glimmer of a second. Talion and Claudia's forms appeared beside Rito's figure on the tablet. Tearju was too preoccupied crying over Rito's damaged soul to catch it.
Tearju wiped away the tears in her eyes and fixed her glasses. Suddenly a red light and the alarm sounded around the laboratory.
"Huh! What's happening?"
Tearju began typing away on the tablet in her hand, searching for the problem.
"Warning! Warning! Unauthorized sample injections. Warning! Warning!"
"Sample injections... oh no!"
Tearju returned to the control panel and realized her fears had come to fruition.
Beside the regeneration tank were three capsules, quickly losing their contents.
The first two were completely harmless, it was the final capsule which had Tearju scared.
Dark Matter... An unknown substances found rarely in the galaxy. However, the black market of the galaxy made millions on exporting and importing the illegal substances.
Made so by the Emperor of the Galaxy, Gid Deviluke.
Tearju had purchased a vile of the stuff in hopes of unraveling it's mysteries. However, she had misplaced the capsule some time ago and now her hopes were dashed as the vile nearly emptied itself into Rito's body.
The procedure was complete as the last of the dark matter entered Rito's body.
The effects were instantaneous.
Rito's body began to shake violently from the dark matter now coursing through his blood stream. His eyes opened and he screamed in obvious pain.
He had removed the breathing mask during his rampage. Water entered through his mouth and into his lungs. Rito struggled while in a excruciating pain.
From both the water entering his system and the dark matter changing his atoms and molecules in rapid succession.
He would surely drown if not stopped.
"Please calm down. You'll drown if you continue to-"
Tearju shielded her eyes and ears from the sudden explosion of energy originating from inside the regeneration tank.
Rito's eyes glowed bright gold then flashed to amethyst, and finally crimson before he released an animalistic roar.
"A-AAAAHHHHHHH!"
"Kya!"
The tank imploded from the massive surge of energy. Destroying it completely. Tearju shielded herself from the glass.
As the smoke began to clear, Tearju cough into her hand.
Some scratches on her clothing and face, otherwise she was perfectly fine.
Remembering about Rito and the changes he had to had gone through. Tearju stood up on shaking knees, slowly approaching the remains of the regeneration tank.
Inside, on his knees, his hair shadowing his eyes. Which had grown considerably longer with streaks of crimson. Rito's breathing was soft and quiet.
This was what Tearju walked upon when she found him.
His hair, she noticed right away. It had grown longer, stopping just at his shoulders with two chin length bangs framing his face. And the streaks of crimson was new but confirmed Tearju's suspicions.
Slowly, she crouched down to eye level with Rito. His soft breathing was the only noise heard between them.
"A-Ano- A-Are you ok, Mr...-"
Tearju was cut-off from Rito suddenly grabbing her throat with his left hand. He tighten his hold before weakening his grip and released Tearju, who coughed roughly from the lost of oxygen.
Rito scanned his surroundings and stood up. He offered a hand to Tearju to take. She hesitated for a second until she finally took his hand.
Helping Tearju to her feet, Rito looked her over for any injuries. Just scratches on her clothing, she was perfectly fine.
Tearju jumped when she felt Rito's hand on her cheek. He smiled, a dashing smile which got a blush from Tearju and said.
"Thank you for waking me. I'm Revan by the way."
Rito's eyes glowed crimson before they returned to their normal color.
xox
Upon hearing the name "Revan", Mikan noticed immediately the twitch and shift of movement from some of the alien women. Sitting to her left, Yami too, reacted in similar fashion.
The once calm atmosphere became stiff and cool, you could cut the air with a sword and see the mist.
Finally, it was Haruna's curiosity that ignited the spark.
"Why did Yuuki-kun say "Revan?" Why change his name?"
Mikan and the girls from earth were generally confused by the suspicion as to why, Rito used a false name.
"This day keeps getting more and more stranger with each passing second. Why does Rito need to-"
Mikan stopped shortly of finishing her speech at seeing the tears in Tearju's eyes, whom stood behind Yami. She and the other alien women being Mikado, Lala, even Yami were in tears. All had their eyes on one sole person.
That being her older brother, Rito.
Tearju slowly moved around the couch and approached the standing Rito. Her emerald eyes were flooded with her tears, pooling behind her glasses. Her entire structure and stance screamed of her uncertainty and weakness as she finally stood before Rito.
His expression was the opposite to Tearju's. He remained calm and unmoving but behind this wall, he too, was scared.
"R-R-Revan-koi?"
Tearju uttered softly like a gentle whisper. However, the alien women and earth women, plus two males. Heard the undying love behind Tearju's sentence.
Some of the more intelligent people immediately deduce the relationship Tearju had with Rito (Revan).
After much silence, Rito placed a gloved hand on Tearju's right cheek. Tearju immediately placed both of her's over his. A happy, tearful smile on her lips.
"Yeah... It's me. Tear-hime."
Rito's voice had become slightly deeper and more mature. Haruna, Yui, Mikan, and those from earth who knew Rito.
Widen their eyes in surprise.
And further to add to their shock. Came in the form of Tearju, jumping! Into Rito's willing embrace and kissed the young male Yuuki in a deep, passionate kiss full of love.
The more weak will being Haruna and Yui, blushed heavily upon witnessing the action before them. Hell, everyone in the room blushed like a tomato when the normally meek, clumsy, and shy teacher Tearju. Grew hungry in her kiss with Rito, she pushed her tongue to explore Rito's mouth, while sensually grinding her body against his.
Her breasts pushed against his chest, causing Rito's hands to grab the flesh of Tearju's ass. A growl escaped his lips upon hearing Tearju moaning from his actions.
Yui, who resembled a new shade of red, yet to be identified. Could not look away at the scene before her, which defined "shamelessness".
However, her morals and discipline couldn't free her, or tear her gaze away from the shameless spectacle happening before her.
And in front of an audience no less!
After two minutes of passionate kissing, and ushering in a wave of uncomfortableness for everyone else. Rito and Tearju pulled away.
A string of saliva connected their lips, proof of their heavy makeout.
However, as soon as they parted. Rito's face was quickly grabbed by another and turned to meet Mikado's lips devouring his with hunger.
"A-Ah... Eh!"
Mikan said with an atomic blush staining her cheeks. Too caught off guard at Rito kissing, not one, but two adult women passionately.
Mikado's kiss lasted longer than Tearju's. When the two finally did part.
Mikado looked at Rito's blushing face, a healthy blush on her cheeks too. Being slightly taller than him, Mikado crouched enough to rest her cheek against Rito's chest.
She could feel and touch the muscles hidden behind his clothing.
Giggling softly, nestling her face against his chest. Such as a pet would when showing affection to its owner.
"Revan-kun~ I'm so happy that your alive. You certainty are going to tell me what became of you and why go into hiding?"
Her tone was stern but Rito knew that it also held worry and concern for him.
Mikado gasped when Rito wrapped his arms around her waist. Not fleeing in embarrassment as he normally would whenever she teased him.
"I know, and I promise I will."
Nodding her head against his chest. Mikado giggled again and closed her eyes in blissful paradise.
"A-Ano? Rito-san and Mikado-sensei? And Rito-san and Tearju-sensei? W-What is happening?"
Oshizu-chan said, standing near the doorway where Mikado and Tearju had been standing previously before the reveal of Rito's secret alias.
"Ufufufu, it's as you see it, Oshizu-chan. Yuuki-kun is also Revan-kun. And he and I, including Tearju are lovers! Happily in love."
"Mikado!"
Tearju chastise her friend, except it only made her seem cute to both Rito and Mikado hanging off of him.
Everyone watching were still stunned from discovering Rito having two lovers being a homeroom teacher and school's nurse. And Rito handling them both with no embarrassment at all on his features.
"I told you that you broke them, Rito."
Claudia's teasing voice sounded in his ear through the chaos.
Feeling something wrapping around his wrist. Rito look at his own hand to find Nemesis' dark hair coiling around his wrist like a snake.
In one pull. Rito was ripped away from Mikado's grasps and found himself sitting on the loveseat Nemesis occupied. With Nemesis now sitting on his lap.
One leg crossed over the other. Nemesis looked over her shoulder at the male Yuuki, a bewitching, teasing grin on her lips.
"Rito!"
Turning his gaze away from Nemesis. Rito found Lala and her sisters, along with Mea were digging around in his chest. Having already pulled out several things that belong to him, as (Revan).
In Lala's hands, held out for everyone to see, where black robes that were his size. They were slightly tattered and covered in dust.
However, with seeing the familiar black robes. The alien women widen their eyes. Recognition behind their pupils.
"These were always wore by Revan-kun! Meaning that you are indeed Revan-kun, Rito."
Lala's speech became quiet near the end. Haruna and the others wondered about Lala's own history with Rito (Revan).
"Sugoi. Rito-senpai truly is Revan-sama! Ne, Ne, Ne? Rito-senpai, this is yours too, right?"
Mea stood in front of Rito holding a red armored mask resembling a knight's face plate on their helmets.
"Haha, it is, Mea. May I?" She handed him the mask which was soon confiscated by Nemesis using her hair to take it from his hand. "Well okay... but yes, it belongs to me. Glad to see your doing fine, Mea."
Again Rito's voice became mature when he spoke to Mea. Petting her head and Mea purring like a cat from his touch.
"I knew it! From destroying the black hole at school. I knew that you, Yuuki Rito. Were Revan." Nemesis cooed on his lap, opting to grind over his pants, hoping to get the desired reaction from Rito.
"Ah! Master. No fair~ I want Revan-sama to spoil me some more."
"Mea. You can have him later. Yuuki Rito is all mine for today."
Seeing the everyday life of Yuuki Rito playing before them. Mikan moved away to look through the chest the devilukean princesses had been going through since the revelation.
Looking over the twins heads. Mikan found an assortment of different items, ranging from clothing, to armor, weapons, books and journals, neatly stacked money off to one side, letters, and lastly were strange cubes pulsating with blue energy.
"It's really true..."
Mikan overheard Momo say in a near whisper.
"H-He's alive."
Next was Nana, however, she sounded like she is close to tears.
"Eh..."
"It's really him. Rito was Revan all along. Meaning..."
Lala didn't finish her sentence. Instead she and her little sisters turned to stare at Rito, who was arguing with Nemesis and fending off an overly affectionate Mea.
Mikan looked at the devilukean princesses in curiosity. When they stood up to their feet together. She continued looking at the three alien princesses, waiting to see what they would do.
The three sisters had calm expressions on their visage. Everyone who knew the three, have never seen the sisters share the same expression all at once.
Slowly, they walked over to Rito still sitting on the loveseat with Nemesis on his lap.
Everyone, including Tearju and Mikado looked on in silent.
When they reached his side. Rito tore his attention away from the trans weapons and onto the princesses.
Who's hair shadowed their eyes. Leaving him in mystery to their current emotions.
Then-
"Rito / Rito-san!"
Came the excited, joyful shout of happiness from Lala and Momo. Dived onto Rito, who had already moved Nemesis off his lap, to save her, sort of.
The two princesses diving into Rito's arms caused the loveseat he was sitting in, to fall backwards.
Rito had secured his hold around the two devilukean princesses, they themselves giggled happily despite the fall.
His lips were immediately taken by Lala kissing him fully.
The crowd behind them were mouths agape, eyes widen to the whites.
Soon Lala released Rito's lips and sighed in delight. She winked at Rito and removed herself, allowing Momo who had been impatiently squirming beside her like a dog in heat.
The moment Lala got off of Rito. Momo dove in and took his lips in force. Not backing down or away from the overly excited third princess, Rito trailed his arms down Momo's backside and began kneading Momo's behind, which was shamelessly swaying side to side.
Her lewd moans were audible causing another wave of uncertainty in the room.
"Ara, Momo? You must really like Rito?"
For a split second, a very quick second, Momo removed herself from Rito's lips to answer her older sister. Looking over shoulder, breathing ragged and sweat forming just above her brow.
She said.
"With every fiber of my being, Onee-sama."
Momo tried to say with much love as possible, which seemed difficult with her current appearance.
Immediately she dove back to Rito's lips, capturing the hunger and lust they shared moments ago. Rito contributed by resuming his kneading of her ass.
Momo intended to outlast her sister and Mikado in the time it took for them to remove themselves from Rito. With the second wind of air in her lungs, she was ready to achieve this goal.
However, like all good things. They either end at the end of the day, or someone intervenes.
"That's enough out of you, Momo-san! Get off my brother!"
A very embarrassed and flustered Mikan stormed behind Momo and pulled her off Rito.
"Ara~ You're such a prude, Mikan-san."
"I don't want to hear that from you of all people!"
While Mikan scolded a smirking Momo. Rito finally sat up moving to the side of the loveseat, still on the ground.
"I expected to be slapped and scolded till I'm an old man. Never did I expect them to forgive me so easily-."
Rito, scratching the back of his head. Noticed the last of the devilukean sisters standing before him.
"Nana."
He said softly, watching as the second princess from deviluke, crouched to his level. Quietly, she grabbed his face with both hands on his cheeks.
With slight hesitation, Nana closed the gap between them and kissed Rito in a more gentle and loving way. Different from the hungry and lustful kisses he received from Tearju, Mikado, Lala, and Momo.
"Even Nana-san..."
Haruna said from her seat on the couch. Having seen the teachers and princesses kiss Rito in such passion and emotions.
Although her kiss was much shorter compared to everyone else. Nana was happy with conveying her feeling for Rito, finally. Letting go of his lips, a blush on her cheeks. Nana hid herself behind Rito's left shoulder.
Rito, being the kind fellow he was. Simply allowed Nana this freedom, his hands gliding across her back to comfort her.
"We could never hate you, Rito. I couldn't. Momo can't. Ane-ue certainty can't. We love you too much, I love you too much."
Nana was glad Rito couldn't see her face. The blush on her face covered her entire body.
"I know. I feel the same."
Nana smiled softly behind his head. She snuggled more into his shoulder taking in his scent.
"Even Nana! Yaaay! Now we can be a big and happy family together. Ara...? Momo? What are you doing."
"Just some harmless blackmail for a later time, Onee-sama."
"Oh! Nana-chan looks so kawaii."
Momo held a video camera and was recording Nana's special moment with Rito. Mea joined beside her to help.
Upon seeing the video camera in Momo's hand and everyone looking at her. Nana reaction...
"MOMO!"
Thus began a chase of Momo running away, giggling I might add, from her furious and embarrassed twin sister.
Welcoming the much needed laughter to loosen the tension that accompanied Rito's revelation.
Fixing the loveseat that had been tipped over because of both Lala and Momo crashing into him. Rito sighed at the craziness that always befell him.
"Yuuki Rito."
At the familiar stoic, robotic tone of Yami (Eve). Rito looked ahead to find the yellow haired assassin before him.
He visibly flinched at the item in her hands.
A grey colored helmet resembling a knight's helmet. Though this helmet was slightly cracked on the upper left corner. Part of the crown on the helmet and the visor to see through were destroyed.
The alien women and those from earth looked at the cracked helmet. Tearju, the princesses, Mea and Nemesis widen their eyes at the familiar, damaged helmet Yami was holding.
Moving to stand before the loli assassin. Rito took the helmet from her. He examined it with keen eyes, when he felt a pair of hands on his cheeks.
Everyone watching the scene were further shock into astonishment. And rightfully so.
Yami, the girl who constantly said to others and herself, that she would take Rito's life because he was her target. The very same girl who always punish him because he was what she called "ecchi", and how she hates "ecchi" people and things.
Before her friend Mikan, her little sister Mea, her creator Tearju, and everyone else.
She kissed Rito on the lips and she is the one who instigated it.
Like Nana's kiss. Yami's was gentle and quick, yet she poured her feelings into this one kiss.
When they parted. Yami was blushing, from the knowledge of what she just did and from happiness, genuine happiness.
"Yami-chan."
Tearju whispered, shocked at the bold feat Yami committed in front of everyone.
Yami, who couldn't behavior normally around Tearju yet. Looked the opposite way to hide her blush.
Soon enough Yami looked back up at Rito and asked what everyone from earth and space had been wanting to know.
"Explain. Everything. Rito."
And done. Now before you rage about this being a cliffhanger. It is not and I'll ignore all flames.
As I said in the beginning, this is a sink or swim type of story. If you wish to read more, let me know and leave reviews. This will tell me that you want this story to continue.
If you don't want it to continue. That's fine.
I'll also be adding this to the poll. You can vote there as well if you wish to see more of this.
Few things need explaining, let's see what they should be.
First, the name.
I caught a lot of negative feedback on one of stories because of a name. So I'll explain now.
Revan will just be a name used as an alias. In no way is Rito the actual Revan from Star Wars. Nor is the real Revan from Star Wars in this story!
It's just a name.
The plot will still follow canon, with the first few chapters going into detail about Rito's time as Revan and explaining his early relationship with Lala and the others.
So in short, there will be flashbacks to Rito's past and everyone will react and comment to the things he did, as Revan.
Lastly here are the animes these characters belong too. I'll be adding several more but nothing to large.
Ayatsuji Ayase - "Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan"
Toudou Kirin - "The Asterisk War"
The two Gods are my own OCs but these are the avatars I borrow from their respective animes.
Talion - Izuna Uchiha - "Naruto"
Claudia – Claudia Enfield – "The Asterisk War"
Hey guys! I know what you're going to say and I have an answer for it. Also a request for you, my faithful readers.
I'm well aware that my last update was back in April, and now it's December with only one week left until the new year.
No. I haven't been on hiatus. In fact I've been hard at work since July.
After posting those last three stories back in April, I took a month long break in June to relax and write the summaries and plans for the stories that will be updated next. Since July I have been hard at work.
Literally.
I originally intended to update these on my birthday, August 19. However, things came up during the fall season and the writing was large in comparison to my other work. Also adding in the writing of a new story.
A total of six months to finish five projects.
So what I'm asking of you. I created a poll back in October and it would mean much if you could vote for the stories you want to see updated the most.
This is what I'm asking for Christmas from you guys / ladies. Please do me the huge favor of voting for your two choices you want to see updated the most.
It will help me immensely and it will lessen my workload considerably.
Alright if I did this correctly.
Merry Christmas! and Happy New Year!
