READ THIS! : This chapter is a timeskip, it's after 1 month. So it's expected that there will be battles again.
Chapter 2
SUDDEN DURAS ATTACK
It's been a month since Reiga and the others kidnapped Yuki. Everybody returned to school and Kuroto is transferred to their school as a freshman. He's also in the same class as Yuki. Tsukumo, Hotsuma and Yuki studied together using Hotsuma's notes but the problem is, they can't understand his handwritings, Tsukumo and Yuki just tried to read it but they really can't .
Senshiro had to be enrolled on a college university nearby since he doesn't want to leave Kuroto alone. Takashiro still performs the "Prophetic Ritual" To see if there are incoming battles or movements from Reiga, so far none
Classes are ending and Yuki is fixing his things and put it back on his bag then Kuroto, Tsukumo and Hotsuma approached him
"*Yawn*...Yo, Yuki" Hotsuma greeted after yawning completely bored with the class
Yuki looked back and he saw the three "Oh, hello too" Yuki said in surprise
"Well do you want to go home with us?" Tsukumo asked
"Huh? Of course but I thought you will hang out with Toko-chan?" Yuki asked
"Well, all the Second Years are assigned to do the cleaning, so Toko-chan isn't available right now" Tsukumo said
"Yeah, and also Shusei" Hotsuma said pissed since they are supposed to go home together
"Okay, I'll go with you" Yuki said
"Thank you" Tsukumo said as he thanked Yuki
"How about you Kuroto-kun?" Yuki asked Kuroto who donning a new look
Kuroto's first day was very funny, since he is an ex-shogi player, he needs to look different. So he decided to tie his hair into a small ponytail and wear thin silver glasses. But what he didn't expect is the boys to hit on him completely mistaking him for a girl. He even have to be called in the office in his first day for beating up a guy, because of hitting on him.
"Well, I'm going to separate ways since I will go to Senshiro's university sorry but, I can't accompany you…..see ya" Kuroto said as he started walking away
"I see, well take care" Yuki said as he giggled "It must be hard for Kuroto-kun" Yuki said
"Yeah, also he was mistaken as a girl" Tsukumo chuckled
Hotsuma since he and Kuroto are always arguing, he just laughed "Hahaha! It's very funny!"
~Outside Of School~
"It's been awhile huh? Tsukumo said
"You mean the fighting? Heh! They're just hiding to gain more power….Tch! How can they get cowarder than that?!" Hotsuma said getting pissed
"For now let's just enjoy the little time we have before they attack again….." Yuki said getting a bit sad
"Yeah….we never know when will they attack again especially Reiga" Tsukumo said but completely regretted it when he saw Yuki's facial expression changed
"Tsukumo! You shouldn't said anything about Reiga when Yuki's he—"
"It's okay Hotsuma-kun…." Yuki said
"Yuki?" Hotsuma said as he and Tsukumo looked at him
They all turned silent while walking. Then Tsukumo walked closer to Yuki and put is hand on Yuki's shoulder and press Yuki's body to his as if comforting him
"Tsukumo-kun?" Yuki looked at Tsukumo
"You don't have to force yourself that you're okay…..we know what you're going through….even though I don't know what it feels to be betrayed, I will still like you and we will not betray you" Tsukumo said as he smiled towards Yuki
Hotsuma grinned towards Yuki "Tsukumo's right Yuki, we'll never gonna betray you so don't be sad anymore okay?" Hotsuma said
"Hotsuma-kun…Yes, you're right. There will be a time that I will need to fight Kanata-san….But I guess I should move on, since I got you all as my family" Yuki said as he finally smiled
Tsukumo and Hotsuma smiled too
"Don't worry Yuki I'll protect you with my life" Tsukumo said
"Me too! I'm sure the others feel this way too, especially Luka" Hotsuma said
"Yes" Yuki said as they continued walking
Suddenly while walking Tsukumo shot his head back as if he sensed something
"What's wrong Tsukumo?" Hotsuma asked
"I sensed a Duras, but not only a certain number they are many!" Tsukumo said as Yuki and Hotsuma's eyes widen
They are currently at great disadvantage, since there are only three of them minus Yuki who can't fight. It will still be difficult to defeat many enemies if there's only two, imagine
"We should run" Tsukumo said
"What is it this time?" Hotsuma asked
"They're heading this way! We should hurry!" Tsukumo said as they started yelling
"Tch! Damn! They're back already?!" Hotsuma gritted his teeth completely pissed
"What should we do Tsukumo-kun?" Yuki asked
"If we go back to the Twilight Mansion, they might discover our secret location since there's a high chance that there is a mid-level with them or probably an Opast or maybe even General-class"
"What?! They're that desperate?!"
"We should head another way if that's the case" Yuki said
"Yeah, or they will know our secret location" They turn to another direction opposite to they're true destination
They stopped in the middle of a forest completely panting, they looked around to see if there's a sign of Duras somewhere
"Strange, their presence disappeared" Tsukumo said
"What? Then they might be concealing their presence!" Hotsuma said while looking around
"No, that's not it….it's like someone has already killed them all" Tsukumo said
"….Luka?" Yuki asked
"No, it's someone else…..I don't recognize this presence at all" Yuki and Hotsuma turned silent, thinking.
Suddenly a blue blast appeared out of nowhere heading towards Yuki. Tsukumo and Hotsuma saw it
"Watch out! Yuki!" Tsukumo said as he lunged towards Yuki and push him out of the way. They landed on the grassy floor successfully dodging the attack
"Tsukumo! Yuki!" Hotsuma looked at the direction the blast came from, searching for the enemy
Then Hotsuma knelt next to Tsukumo who is over Yuki "Hey, are you two okay?" but his eyes widen, Tsukumo has a wound on his back with his uniform almost torn from each other and blood staining his clothes
"Tsukumo! Hey! Hang in there!" Hotsuma put Tsukumo's arm around his shoulder and supported him on standing up
"Thank you, I'm alright. But it hurts a little bit" Tsukumo winced a bit while talking
"Are you really okay Tsukumo-kun?" Yuki asked worriedly
"Yes, how about you?"
"I'm okay thanks to you" Yuki said as Tsukumo nodded
"Who's there?! Come out or I'll burn this whole area with you!" Hotsuma threatened as Tsukumo and Yuki sweat-dropped
"Are you serious Hotsuma-kun?" Yuki asked
"Shh!" Hotsuma put his finger on Yuki's mouth as he look at Yuki, then Yuki nodded completely getting the idea
"You people are quite rowdy…." A voice said
Everybody looked at where the voice came from and they saw a lean-built and handsome man Opast with average height sitting on one of the branches of the tree. He is wearing a blue and black royal prince's clothes. He has spiky ash-bronze hair and blue-eyes.
He floated and bowed himself in a gentleman's way "My name is Leister a General-class Opast…." He said as he smirked
"A General-class huh?...What a pain in the ass" Hotsuma said
"We should really call the others" Yuki said
"Don't Yuki, we can handle this since I'm offensive while Tsukumo's defensive we can work together right?" Hotsuma looked at Tsukumo who nodded
"You should stand back Yuki, he might be dangerous" Tsukumo said as Yuki nodded and stand back
"Be careful" Yuki said as the other two nodded as they walked a little closer from the floating Duras while Yuki hide from one of the trees far from the Duras
"I admit, from what I've heard from Reiga, you Zweilts are strong….so strong that you killed my sister Ashley" He glared towards Tsukumo and Hotsuma with murderous intent.
"Ashley?! You're his brother?!" Hotsuma said as he rudely pointed his finger towards Leister who just nodded and smirked
"I have to thank you for destroying that girl, since she's very troublesome and she pisses me off" He said
"What?! Then your not here for revenge?" Hotsuma asked
"No, but I have a mission…"
"What is it?" Tsukumo asked
"I was commanded to destroy God's Light, and if anyones gets in my way…I'll have to kill them with God's Light" He said coldly
"GAAAAH!" They heard Yuki scream
Tsukumo and Hotsuma looked back towards Yuki "Yuki!" They said as they started sprinting towards him. They're eyes widen because Leister is already there holding Yuki and positioned his long sword closely to Yuki's neck.
"Yuki!"
"Hahaha! You made a bad choice for making him stay back!" Leister laughed
"Damn! Are there two of them?!" Hotsuma said
"Actually not two we're one" the Leister that they saw was behind them standing a few meters away from them
Their eyes widen again since there are two Leisters now, one holding Yuki and the other one standing behind them
"Don't move…..or this boy will die" He said as his face and voice darkens
Hotsuma and Tsukumo just gritted their teeth because of the situation they're in
~School~
Toko and Shusei are walking outside of school looking very tired. The second-years are assigned to clean the Gym and the Auditorium for the upcoming School Festival.
"Gah! Why the students are even tasked to do this!" Toko sighed as she massaged her shoulders since she's very tired
"Well on Friday we will clean up with the other years so don't worry. Today is Tuesday so it's naturally our turn" Shusei said
"True….I wonder what Tsukumo and Yuki-chan are doing…." Toko said
"They're probably back home since they left about an hour ago with Hotsuma" Shusei said
"Did you notice? I think Tsukumo spends his time with Yuki lately this days, he even want to be transferred to Yuki's class" Toko said
"Really? Is that a bad thing?"Shusei asked
"No but….i'm kinda jealous but I won't get angry to Yuki-chan since it's his first time having friends and….family" Toko's face saddened
Shusei looked at her "You know, you have a tendency to cry easier over little thing do you?" Shusei asked teasing Toko
"Well, I guess I'm just a crybaby" Toko smiled
Then they continued walking, but Shusei's phone suddenly rang
"Hello?"
"Shusei? Where's your destination now?"
"Takashiro-sama? We're nearby the forest why?"
"Tch…..Go to the Mubuki Street and go inside the forest there"
"Is something wro-"
"Yuki, Hotsuma and Tsukumo…..are being attacked by a General-class Duras hurry!"
"What?!" Shusei exclaimed.
Toko noticed Shusei's distress and start getting worried
"Luka is already on his way, I already told Kuroto and Senshiro. You two hurry!" Then the call ended
"What's wrong Shusei?!" Toko asked
"Takashiro-sama said that….Yuki and the others are getting attacked by a General-class" Shusei said
"What?! Where are they?!" Toko asked as he clamped her hands on Shusei's shoulder in worry
"They're somewhere in the forest in the Mubuki Street, let's hurry!" Shusei said as they started running completely getting worried. Shusei believed in them so he knows that they will not be defeated but, he can't shrug of the feeling that Hotsuma is in trouble
"Hang in there!...Hotsuma!" Shusei thought as he gritted his teeth
~Forest~
"Aaarghh!" a wounded Hotsuma screamed in pain as he was slashed and landed on the ground with Tsukumo who also was wounded
"Hotsuma-kun!" Yuki scream his name in worry
"Tch….Yuki" Hotsuma winced in pain
"Hmm…I see, you two are really loyal to God's Light, willingly do whatever the enemy wants just for his sake" Leister said as he kicked Tsukumo on his stomach area very hard that Tsukumo coughed out blood
"K-Kuh…*cough*"
"Tsukumo-kun! Stop it! Why are you doing this?!" Yuki cried as he looked at the Leister who is holding him
"Simple…..because its fun"
"What's fun with hurting people who aren't willing to fight?! You're a coward!" Yuki said as Leister just scoffed in annoyance
"Tch, then if you want I'll battle them, but don't worry I'll end it soon" Leister said as he looked at the other him
"Do it" Leister said as the other nodded
"Fight me" Leister said as he kicked Hotsuma and Tsukumo a few meters back
"Aah!/Kaagh!" The two yelled in pain
"Stand up, use your weapons! Fight me because, it's the God's Lights order" Leister said
Tsukumo and Hotsuma struggled to stand up but they managed to get up but slightly bended because their bodies are beaten up
"Tch…..Master Stroke!" Hotsuma yelled as flames surrounded on his hand and revealed his curved sword
"Knell!" Tsukumo said as his ring glowed and light particles cam out of it as it formed a silver gun
They ready their stance for battle, as Leister just stood still while smirking
"Come at me" Leister said
"Take this bastard!" Hotsuma said as he swung his sword and fire followed the direction of slash as it tried to attack Leister but Leister dodged it immediately by jumping upwards
Tsukumo pointed his gun upwards and started shooting towards Leister shot a blast to counter Tsukumo's shot
Leister landed on the ground softly as he comes face-to-face with the two other Zweilt
"Dark One, Burn!" Hotsuma yelled as fire surrounded Leister, engulfing him by a huge amount of fire. "Did it work?" Tsukumo asked as he looked at the fire surrounding the enemy
"I think so" but all of a sudden Leister breakthrough from the fire and lunged towards Tsukumo who was taken aback
Hotsuma quickly acted and went in front of Tsukumo and collided blades with Leister
Then Hotsuma pushed Leister away and looked at Tsukumo "Go!" Tsukumo pointed his gun towards Leister and fired a shot
Then Hotsuma swung his sword and fire surrounded Tsukumo's shot as it charges towards Leister
"Hmph, it's futile" Leister said as he pointed his blade on the incoming attack
"That's what you think! Multiply!" Hotsuma smirked as their attack multiplied into three
"What?!" Leister exclaimed as the attack hit him and caused an explosion
Then Hotsuma and Tsukumo looked towards Leister that was holding Yuki
"It's useless now, you're alone" Tsukumo said
"Let Yuki Go" Hotsuma glared at Leister who smirked in return
"Did you ever think why I am a General-class?" Leister said
Then all of a sudden two Leisters appeared behind Hotsuma and Tsukumo and stabbed them
Yuki's face turned horrified as he witnessed his friends getting stabbed
"That's the reason" Leister said as the other two him retracted their swords from Tsukumo and Hotsuma's body then disappeared
"I-I….possi…ble" Hotsuma mumbled as he and Tsukumo slowly landed on the ground
"D-Da….mn….Y-Yuki" Tsukumo mumbled as he looked towards Yuki then became unconscious
Tears flowed from Yuki's eyes as he stared at them horrified and shocked
"HOTSUMA-KUN! TSUKUMO-KUN!" Yuki screamed as Leister laughed as he screamed
Then Shusei, Toko, Luka, Senshiro and Kuroto arrived at the scene
"Yuk—" Shusei's eyes widen as he saw Tsukumo and Hotsuma lying on the ground with a very large stab on their chest
"HOTSUMA!/TSUKUMO!"
~Front of Mubuki Forest~
Luka and the other four Zweilt Guardians are running inside the forest with Shusei on the front tracking Yuki and the others location
"Are we close?" Senshiro asked
"I don't know, but I can see a bit of their existence" Shusei said
"Damn it!, if only I didn't leave them" Kuroto said completely pissed
"It's not your fault, Kuroto" Senshiro said as they continued running
Then they heard an explosion
"Kyaah! What was that?!" Toko shrieked as she looked at the sky
"There, that must be Hotsuma!" Shusei said as they started running when they see smoke in the sky, that's from somewhere near
They continued running until they saw Yuki being captive by a Duras
"Yuk-" Shusei was about to call to Yuki when he and the others got close but when he looked at the ground
He froze as there on the floor are Hotsuma and Tsukumo full of wounds and a large stab on their chest
"HOTSUMA!/TSUKUMO!" Shusei and Toko screamed in horror as they run towards their partners and held them up on their arms
"Hotsuma, Hotsuma! Wake up!" Shusei said as he shook Hotsuma's body but, no reaction
"Tsukumo! Tsukumo! Don't leave me!" Toko cried as she hugged Tsukumo's body
Luka, Senshiro and Kuroto glared towards the Duras
"Yuki!" Luka hissed as he saw Yuki's bangs covering his eyes as if showing his emotions
"How dare you do that to them!" Kuroto yelled
"You're gonna pay!" Senshiro said angrily
Then Yuki's body trembled as they saw tears falling from his face
"Let me….go" they heard Yuki mumble as Yuki's body glowed
