Chapter 1
You were not focused on your work which was quite abnormal. You were always serious when it came with your duty. Voices and battle cries could be heard from your comrades. You tried to calm yourself as you followed your group, Yunagi in your right hand. You were currently with the patrol team that night a few kilometres away from the school premises in the dense forest, fighting demons which had increased in number since your Ojousama's power is growing more and more since her eighteenth birthday. You would never blame her for taking time to learn how to hide her magical aura in order not to attract those damn creatures. Suddenly a frown appeared on your face. That's right you too thought of yourself as being one of them, having almost the same type of blood. You had cuts here and there on your body and you could hear Mana shouting at you, trying to convince your mind that you had to use your pactio card. You never had problem to use it before but that night you could not do it. You just had a discussion, like you would tell others, with Konoka. Mana was wrong. The latter did not have to change your mind but how your heart felt at that moment.
"I can't use it Mana-san. I can't, knowing that the person with whom I made it is ashamed of me and probably hates me." The snipper glared at you while recharging her guns for the nth time.
"It's not true. She cares about you." That's a lie, your inner self was telling you. Konoka's chocolate eyes did show hate you reminded yourself. "How about the one with Negi-sensei? You must know that Kaede, Ku Fei and I are in need of your help." Mana told you seriously.
You replied her that that also was not possible. A few days before you had cancelled the contract with the young teacher as Evangeline told you that it was not appropriate to have pactios with different mages and since Negi had many ministra's, you decided to keep the one with Konoka much to the latter's delight. Deep down in you, you knew there was another reason you would not let anyone hear it. As you finished telling your comrade your situation, she had an annoyed look on her face.
"Then use your pactio and stop being selfish or else all of us will die!" Ojousama also mentioned it, about you being selfish. Before you could replied, an attack was directed at you. You and Mana successfully dodged it.
"The portal is about less than one kilometre before us" Kaede and the martial art master were above you on a branch. The ninja then informed all of you that the portal from where demons were emerging was in fact a demon about two metres height and ten metres wide. It had three heads and several tentacles with claws at the ends. Only the middle head had eyes while the other two had only a wide-open month from where other demons were entering this world. You flew using the wings considered as a curse by the tribe you had belonged before being exiled at a young age. A gasp escaped from you as your eyes confirmed what the ninja had said. You were still fighting with yourself whether to activate the pactio knowing that you would have to use the power of someone you were convinced hated you.
"Do it Setsuna. For the protection for those you care."said the sniper. All of a sudden the words of the heir of the magic association echoed in your mind. For you Sakurazaki, all you care is your duty. Going on an errand, listening to orders without thinking about your friends' feeling.
That's right you told yourself loudly. Mana nodded her head without knowing the true meaning of what you had said. You're just selfish. It's in your nature. Your mind declared. The thought seemed so true according to you. You had to do your duty as protector but using Konoka's magic still bothered you. If there's a way to use the pactio without Ojousama's magic will be ideal. Then- There was a way and you knew it. However you had only tried it once for only ten seconds and you had ended in the hospital for a whole week.
"Adeat," you said softly as a flow of energy engulfed your body and your outfit turned into that of a maid.
"Left side-Mana, right, Kadea and front-Ku Fei. I'll charge from the sky while you guys distract it."
"Roger captain Setsu!" You heard the martial art master while you saw the fox-eyed girl nodded.
"Good to see you back to normal." Mana said as she took out a bigger military gun out of nowhere.
You went higher in the sky as your team executed the plan perfectly. You came to a stop and concentrated to do a technique which a certain vampire and healer had forbidden you to use but you had no other choice you told yourself. The sword which had appeared when you had activated the pactio was turning a dark red colour with black fire motifs on it while a sudden dark aura surrounded you. You were using the demonic power which was lying in you with the pactio. With this you would not use Konoka's magic but yours. Your clothes were being torn with such change of power. Your body was transforming. Eyes the same red as the sword, muscle six times more defined, white hair. You felt as if you had third degree burning all over your body.
"Setsuna! What are you doing? Kaede take my side also. I've to stop that damn bird brain!"
But it was too late. You dashed towards your target with an believable speed, slashing with ease every demons on your path. All your companion stood, watching with wide eyes as you threw your sword backwards and sent a so powerful blow that a blue light ten times brighter than your first attempt. You let a battle cry as you cut through the demon, resisting the hits of its tentacles. Finally the huge demon was dead as you knelled on the ground breathing heavily from exhaustion. As your companion finished killing the last remaining once, you disactivated your pactio. You fell on the ground as an unbearable pain seized your heart. You could no longer breathe. Your skin was peeled here and there and now you noticed from the deepest to smallest wound. You were losing blood rapidly and you knew that there was a slight chance of survival. You felt your body being lifted and heard worried voices around you.
"Kadea, go and inform the dean and Ku Fei tell Negi-sensei, Asuna-san and Ojousama what's happening. I'll go to Evangeline-san's. She's the only one that can save her."
Your two friends left and went executing the task that your second gave them.
"What were thinking idiot? Doing something like that?" Before you closed your barely opened eyes, you thought to yourself. I'm sorry I couldn't apologize properly to you Kono-chan before leaving this world.
Then came the dark...
A/N: I'm back to fanfiction with a new story! I hope that this change in my writhing style (2nd person p.o.v) is okay...Please let me know about it. For those following my other fanfic, don't worry I'm working on them but it'll take some time since I'm out of original ideas for what must come next.
