Blood Wars 2017

Hello, and welcome to another Princess Resurrection fanfic, and this time I'll be doing a REMAKE of one of my previous fics. This fic was uploaded a few years ago, and after re-reading it, I felt that it was a bit on the LIGHTER side and decided to make a new version that would have a rather SERIOUS tone to it so as to show that even I could make a serious PR fic.

Like my original version, this one will involve a battle between blood warriors, and of course Hiro Hiyorimi would be on a disadvantage given that he is not quite a good fighter and is mostly used as a shield, yet this does not mean that he's a pushover, as seen in the manga, the anime series, and the OVA. But this time he will be given more focus as he would meet someone from his childhood and they would get to relish old times.

However, this is where the story comes in, and Hiro will be given the choice of what to do as it would decide the fate of Hime and his friends.

Also, this fic will be rated M for some violence, yup, blood and gore will be present...and a bit of love scene that would happen near the conclusion...

Well, can't spill everything so it would be best if you read this chapter, so read on and enjoy!

Ch. 1: Kettō no Yoha

At the Monster Kingdom, the scene shows that Severin is gaining the upper hand and is slowly pinning Hime to the ground above the bridge they are standing, and you can see her gothic dress in tatters, and at one point used his sword's blade to rip it until one of her breasts was exposed, as he is intend to infuriate her into submission, and told her that she will die a fool and will be the first to die, and sarcastically comforts her saying she will join her deceased retainers soon.

Hime could only glare at Severin as she is slowly being pinned to the ground, portions of her upper body can be seen bleeding and as his sword is aimed at her throat, Severin grabbed a long piece of wood and began to press her exposed breast, teasing her that she will die a virgin as there won't be any men around to mourn her death, and insulted her by saying that if they were not siblings he would have the honor of taking her virginity.

"Ah, Lillianne…what a pity…"

"…"

"If we were not siblings…I would have been the first to take your virginity away…"

"…"

"You even have a body to die for…"

"…"

"Well…at least you get to keep them…along with your VIRGINITY…"

"…"

Hime can only glare in response, clenching her fists as she is totally angry at Severin for taunting her and for fighting dirty which caused the deaths of her loyal retainers. The witnesses watched as they showed concern towards Hime, seeing that she is already on the losing edge, and they wished that they could do something to help her, as they respected her and despise Severin for the way he operates, and for using dirty tactics just to get an easy victory.

Sherwood, Keziah, Sledge, Riza and Reiri felt helpless as they know that they cannot interfere in a duel between two siblings and are hoping that a miracle may happen that would shift the tide to Hime's favor so that she would emerge victorious.

"Hime…"

"Oh dear…"

"Damn that Severin…!"

"He is one dishonorable bastard…"

"Can't we do something?"

"What can we do? We can't interfere…"

"Damn…if only there is a way…!"

"Severin is really a coward…"

Emile and the Mermaid Girl watched only in silence, and the same goes for Sherwood's three panda warriors, and they await what would happen next, as they are hoping for Hime to win the duel and teach Severin a lesson.

But then, a miracle happened, as someone shouted Hime's name so loud which caught everyone's attention.

"Hime! Hime! Hime! Hime!"

Hime looked down seeing that Hiro is shouting her name and he has a look of worry and concern, and that act somehow filled her body with an unexpected effect, as her focus and usual demeanor suddenly returned and she stood up and grabbed her sword, and her eyes now have the KILLER LOOK, and glared menacingly at Severin with pure intensity yet with grace and aura. Her composure has fully returned and now she has nothing to lose.

And now it is Severin who is at the losing end, as his arrogance and conceit have been extinguished and is now filled with fear and panic, and became terrified as Hime slowly went forward and swings his sword aimlessly as he loses all focus as she went near him while evading his reckless sword slashes which he is visibly scared and the tide has shifted to her favor as she is now the one who is taunting her opponent and it became evident that he is going to lose the duel.

"What's the matter? Where has your usual breath gone to?"

"…"

"Are you scared now…?"

"S-stay away…!"

"I am ready to die…Sherwood is also prepared to die…even Emile and Gilliam are prepared to die as well…"

"N-no…!"

"You…on the other hand…you are a coward…and a cheater…and that is why you are afraid to die…"

"Get away from me, you bitch!"

Sherwood, Keziah, Riza and Reiri were relieved and filled with excitement as they saw Hime bouncing back from dilemma and now she is in control of the duel, but tension arose as Severin is revealed to have a cybernetic hand that turned into a gun, which was apparently against the rules of the duel, and somehow he was able to connect the shot and narrowly grazed Hime's right forearm, and Riza asks Sherwood why the mediator has not called for a pause seeing that Severin has violated the rules of the duel seeing that he is visibly cheating.

Sherwood then glanced at the upper portion of the hill, and to her dismay, the mediator is nowhere to be seen, and noticed that there is no one attempting to halt the duel and the match was continuing as if there was nothing going on.

"Huh? Where's the mediator?"

"What?"

"The mediator is not there!"

"Seriously? And why hasn't anyone tried to stop the duel? Why is the duel continuing? Severin is cheating and everyone saw it!"

"I can't find the mediator!"

"Damn it!"

"Riza…can you find his scent?"

"I'm trying…!"

As Riza and Sherwood frantically looked around to find the mediator, the scene shifts back to Hime and Severin, and despite being shot, Hime was in complete control of the match, and uses her sword to disable her brother's cybernetic hand, and disarmed him as well, and there she taunted him for his cowardice and cheating, and gave him a farewell speech which made him desperate to survive, as he does not wish to die like this.

"Looks like you are out of tricks, Severin…"

"S-spare me…!"

"You are not worthy of the throne…you know I have no interest…yet you cheated…"

"P-please…don't kill me…!"

"You killed my retainers…used zombies…even at the human realm…then framed me…and now you are asking for mercy?"

"Forgive me, Lillianne!"

"Do not address me by my real name…and I am not your sister."

"No!"

Hime stabbed Severin on his chest, piercing his lungs and heart, which were fatal, and he would die within minutes, and as he fell towards his gynoid, he commanded Franz to save him, but the gynoid just stare at him while his eyes blinked, and seconds later, the gynoid exploded, and the explosion was so great that Severin's body was severed into several pieces, and burned and charred beyond recognition, and Hime was declared the winner, and as her supporters cheered, Reiri noticed that the mediator just appeared right after Severin died.

Her eyes focused on him as she had a feeling that something is not right, as if there seemed to be a reason why the mediator disappeared the moment Severin revealed his cybernetic hand. But for now, it does not matter as Hime won, and soon all charges against her were dropped, and everyone went separate ways, while Hime's faction returned to Sasanaki.

-x-

An hour later, the scene shifts at Sasanaki, where Hime and Sherwood's faction went to the parfait shop to fetch Sawawa, while Hiro went to a nearby alley to fetch Hime, and there he slowly fell for her and attempted to kiss her, only to be slapped by Hime as she heard the others heading their way, and as Hiro fell down the stairs, the others told him to get up, while Reiri teased Hiro for being too slow, and he was too dazed to respond to her teasing.

"Hiro…you're too slow…"

"…"

"Had you made your move a bit fast, she may have accepted your kiss…"

"…"

"Oh well…better luck next time…"

"…"

"Come on…we're heading back."

"…"

As the group was celebrating, they did not notice a teenage girl, about the same age as Hiro, was watching, and for some reason, she was watching Hiro, and then at Hime, showing some hint of jealousy, as the girl seemed to know about the two, but then slowly left, and Hiro seemed to have caught the sight of the passing girl, feeling that he has seen her before, but was cut off by Riza as she told him that they are heading back to the mansion.

"Hey, Hiro!"

"Huh?"

"Come on!"

"Um…"

"We're leaving!"

"Yeah…coming!"

"Let's go!"

"I'm coming!"

Hiro nodded as he looked behind him as he wondered who the person he just saw and why he had a feeling that he has seen that person before. After that, he joined the others as he heads back to the mansion so he and the others can rest and recover after the events that transpired.

To Be Continued...

Hope you liked the opening chapter, and while most of it featured a flashback on the duel between Hime and Severin, it did show the OC who would play a role here and how this would affect Hiro and Hime.

Preview:

The next chapter begins the story as everyone moves on after the duel, and a new classmate is introduced, and that is where Hiro gets in a bit of a bind…
