Hey here's another chapter for all you nce people who decided to leave a review, favorite/follow. I was hoping to start doing dual chapter updates but reviews deemed otherwise. I was working on doing a dual release of this and new path but I am having trouble with moving that one along. I don't want it to seem rushed but it keeps coming out that way. I may just have to buckle down and do a massive chapter in order to move it along to my liking. Also I will start responding to reviews! So don't hesitate to leave a comment! Also AN at the end as well.

Enjoy!

Chelsea sat on a rather small black couch in nothing but a sports bra and shorts. Her body was covered in bruises. Her phone not too far from her. The room wasn't what she was used to. Not that it was terrible, just common and plain to a fault. She had just ended her call with Tatsumi, telling him she'd be staying with a friend tonight. He continuously offered to come get her but she explained that she wanted to spend some time with an old friend. He left it at that.

"Chels I'm really cool with you and I don't want to give my two cents where it isn't needed but you're seriously getting really close to the fire. Look at you! Chels you look like you just came from a fight club!" Leone sat beside her, she'd been a good friend from way back. Back when they were living day to day on one meal, always looking out for people who wanted to get even. A life of crime never pay well does it.

"I understand where you guy's worry is coming from, but please just let it go. I've said it one too many times, I know what I'm doing. None of you have anything to worry about anyway. He's only after Gaia. He doesn't know about my, or rather Gaia's connection to Night Raid." She just garnered a stare from her old friend. She couldn't blame her, not even the slightest. When two people go through the stuff they have they become family or enemies, they're situation was rather obvious.

"If you say you got it under control then I guess I have no other choice but to believe you. So let's get drunk instead!" The blonde made her way to her fridge, as she did Chelsea tried to prepare herself for the hangover that has yet to come.

~Next day, Afternoon~

Chelsea arrived back to her shared home, hoping for some alone time with the one she shared it with. It had been quite a while since they had been able to indulge in such active pleasure that it was before to seem foreign to her. Yet once again that idea went flying out of the window as three people who weren't her fiance had been making rather loud comments referring to the game they had been playing. She never understood why they played such games when all of them were field agents for the E.P.A, it's like a football player playing a football game, was pointless to her. Granted they weren't in the army but it was close enough.

The four of them were on the couch, completely oblivious to her presence. Wave, Leyeasu, and Daidara had all been "in the zone." She came up behind her lover and leaned in close enough so she could speak low enough for only him to hear her. "Your soon to be wife needs some comfort." Those words left nothing to imagination. Not too long after Tatsumi followed behind her, the other voices now out of her hair.

As Tatsumi lay there with his fiancée he couldn't help but to try and savour the experience. It was rare that he simply lay in bed with Chelsea. The room had been filled with a mixture of orange from the setting sun and shadows from around the room. As they lay there he could could feel the rise and fall of her chest. He clung to the smooth, soft skin. He could soak in this moment for the rest of the day. There was nothing, absolutely noth-

"You wanna go see a movie. It's been a while since we been out. Would be nice to see something other than what's on TV."

Welp so much for absolute nothing running the moment. Although she had a point. It would be nice to go out again, he couldn't even remember the last time they had done something akin to a date. "There's a time for everything I suppose." As he lay there he thought it over. What would they even go see.

"Well?"

"Sure." He was completely undecided but decided against trying to run pros and cons of the situation. "Was there something in particular you wanted to see or is this a spur of the moment type of thing."

"I wanted to go see Iron Maiden. It's about a girl who losses her limbs and gets it replaced with artificial ones. Heard some good things about it."

Tatsumi shrugged. Leyeasu told him pretty much the whole movie because he and Sayo had went to see it. The girl ends up going insane after she finds out she being manipulated by the doctor and her uncle, to commit horrid crimes. "It's a pretty gory movie from what I've heard."

"Good, we both want to see it." As she made her way to bathroom he realized something odd, she smelled similar to Gaia. One of the many things that came along with the Tyrant strand was enhanced senses. Though maybe they just wore the same type of perfume. That was the only reasonable explanation. Gaia was designated as a shifter and Chelsea was normal. It was even written in her medical records from the Empirical database.

He took a deep breath and let out. "That's right. Chelsea is simply a normal business woman who makes a lot of money through her company hours and not killing anyone."

"You going to join me or am I showering alone." A playful smile lay boldy on her lips, it was as her personality was, mischievous to a fault.

"It's futile trying to restrain the prisoner. Ki-" the prison guard never finished the sentence as a ice spike struk him in the chest. The surrounding guards had let lose an entire wave of bullets hoping to kill the perpetrator. The air was thick with smoke the cell still pitch black due to the power outage from the raging lights from the backup power only served to make the area more sinister. Though one could say it was appropriate considering who the cell had attempted to contain. As they approached it they found that the cell only contained the dead doctor.

"WINTER'S BREATH!" All of the guards and the hallway was completely engulfed in ice. At the other end of the hall was a woman in a black and white striped clothing covered in blood. Cuffs on her wrist and ankles. A scar was stretching from her cheek down her neck. One of her eye's pupil was shaped like a plus. "Tatsumi." The name came out as if she spoke of the that got away. In a way she supposed he did. However she was the Ice demon many spoke of in hushed tones. The same demon that was locked away in this hell hole for the past 3 years, but now she was free. Now she would take what this world had deemed her's.

Did you guys like it! Hopefully you did, another short chapter but I'll try to make the next one more fleshed out. Also Esdese has entered the scene! Just not on the board per say. Also smut, yes, no, maybe? I can do with or without, I want your opinion. Also do you guys want to see what had occurred between the two before Chelsea went to Leone's apartment, or what the drunk duo was up to!? Also can you guys guess who's the third one is that knows who Gaia truly is!? I'll try to update sooner than later, I'll probably switch to L&g since it's easier to write. Hope you all have a good day!

P.S did anyone get the seryu reference.
