Chapter 1
Kuro was standing in front of Mahiru, impaled for about the hundredth time on one of Belukia's swords. Belukia suddenly backed away form Kuro and pulled out the sword.
"Thank you! I appreciate your stay for the show! Now for the main act." Belukia yelled, "These two shall disappear!"
A pink gas began to rise from the ground and surround the eve and servamp.
"Kuro, what is this?" Mahiru yelled.
"How should I know?" Typical answer.
Before Mahiru could retort, he blacked out.
The duo both woke up in front of a familiar home, Misono's. Mahiru frowned at Kuro as he made no effort to get up while he sat up.
"Oh."
Mahiru looked up to see Lily standing in front of them.
"Now how did you two get here?" the blonde asked.
"Well, Belukia somehow sent us here." Mahiru answered.
"Well, it appears you've been sent to a different time. It's been about five years since Belukia has been around."
"Different time! How can you tell we're from a different time?" Mahiru asked.
"You two couldn't be more different now." Lily explained. "But, we should focus on getting you back to the time you came from as soon as possible. I know someone who can help." Lily said and began leading the way, away from the house. What slightly worried Mahiru was that Kuro had said nothing since arriving, not even a sigh. But he brushed it off as shock or something like that.
It was a longer walk than the pair had expected. They both let out a long breath of relief when Snow Lily finally stopped in front of a rather large house. To Mahiru's surprise, there was a cat that looked just like Kuro lounging on the fence. Mahiru then registered that it was dark outside, which was why Kuro and Lily could walk comfortably outside. Had it been dark when they first arrived there? The cat seemed to be glaring at him and Kuro, but it couldn't be future Kuro though. If it was, did Kuro have a new master in this time?
"Hello, Kuro. I was hoping that my dearest friend could bring these two boys back to there right time." Lily spoke. Future Kuro jumped of the white fencing and padded toward the door. When he was inside, the gate opened for the three to pass through.
"Thank you!" Lily said. "Would you like to see how much different Kuro is, Mahiru?" Lily whispered. It was apparently supposed to be a rhetorical question of some kind because when they were inside the dim house, Lily swung his scythe at a shadow covered figure, sending a beam of magic toward them. The magic was blocked my a now human Kuro. Blood splattered against the white tile.
"My master shall not be hurt as long as I'm around." he spoke and stood up straight.
"I was just demonstrating how much you've changed. How about I show them some more?" Lily said, preparing to strike again. Kuro bared his teeth and readied himself as well.
"Come, Kuro." The still shadowed figure ordered. Kuro immediately returned to a cat and seated himself on his masters shoulder.
"Why did you bring them to me?" he asked.
"I know you're one for magic, so I figured you could bring them back." Lily explained. "Do you know of such a spell?"
"Not off the top of my head. But if there's one to bring them here I know there's one to take them back. They'll stay here tonight and we'll look through the library tomorrow." The Eve answered and turned toward the hall behind him. Kuro jumped off his shoulder and walked in front of him.
"Hey! Just who are you?And don't act like your all powerful! And I don't care if your Kuro's new Eve, why don't you pick a different name for him, I called him Kuro first!" Mahiru yelled after the figure. The Eve stopped in front of the doorway and looked at Mahiru. The teen looked angry and had his lead in his hands.
"On the contrary." he said before Mahiru whipped the broom toward him and sent a blast of magic, the same color as the broom, toward the other. Kuro jumped into action as he blocked yet another attack from hitting his eve.
"Oh, I forgot to let you drink after you blocked Lily. If we're going to fight, heal yourself first." The figure said and held an uncovered arm to Kuro's mouth. The servamp gently sunk his teeth into his masters arm and drank until his wounds started to close. A thick black chain connected Kuro to his master, his Eve held a weapon as well as the chain.
"Mahiru..." Kuro warned as the fifteen year old raised the broom again. That was the first thing he had said ever since they had gotten there. Before Mahiru could do any more damage, the future Kuro's eve held out a similar weapon and shouted some kind of chant. While the two were trying to decipher what the eve was saying, a blast of black magic sent them both flying into the wall.
"We will speak in the morning. Your room will be the fifth door down the hall." the eve said and turned back toward the door with cat Kuro once again infront of him.
Mahiru felt his Kuro grab his hand and pull him onto his feet.
"Come on, I'm tired." Kuro whined, forgetting to unclasp his hand from Mahiru's.
"Shut the hell up. Thanks, Lily." Mahiru said as he was pulled along by Kuro. Lily only smiled at the two. No wonder that bell hasn't broken yet.
