Code named: Emperor
Chapter 2:
Bryce was just walking home from school one day when a mysterious girl just appeared from a shadow from the tree in front of him, only about 10 ft away.
"Hello there." The girl asked while smirking.
"Hello." Bryce said cautiously with a slight hint of a worried tone.
There was a awkward silence for about a minute, but it seemed like time stopped, Bryce figured it must of been her work if this felling was indeed real. He decided to break the silence
"So before you kill me may i ask why you have come here, after all this place is not your true world?" Bryce said with a sort of a mocking tone, he always found a way to be amused in these types on situations, this wasn't the first time.
"What ever gave you that impression hm?" She said with a fake curious tone.
He knew that she was there to kill him, most likely for time as he did not do anything for her to enact some kind of sick justice thing.
"One please do not play dumb with me i know who you are and what your intentions are." He then immediately pondered on what he said, and before he could respond.
"Well well, that sounds like you have been stalking me." The girl said.
"Hey hey, technically that is true ... actually it isn't." Bryce said in a one of his trade mark tones.
"Well since it seems that you do know me i guess that means i do have to kill you." She said pointing a flintlock pistol at him.
"Wait wait, before you fire i have a proposal for you Kurumi." He said fast enough for Kurumi's gun trigger to be pulled, and this proposal was not just so he could live he had been thinking about this proposal for a while, even though he knew she was not real (well obviously she was).
"Okay fine, if your proposal intrigues me then i'll ponder over it, but what if i refuse hm?" Kurumi asked with a true curious tone this time.
"Then you shoot me big whoop ..." He was interrupted by Kurumi.
"What do you mean 'big whoop'?" She asked
"Let's just say that i accept death, do i like slash want it, no, but i do accept it and i will know when it happens. Trust me i have experienced death before." He said on a monotone voice.
"That's a first for me, but please continue with this proposal of yours." She said while moving her right hand up and down towards him.
"I know that the 11th bullet can grant someone powers that of a spirit, and i know you have a great deal of mistrust towards humans, but i am a very trustworthy individual, i have never lied or told and i can keep a secret even if is a government cover up conspiracy passed do ... wait that will undermine my statement." Bryce said. "So that is my proposal, you can use the 11th bullet to grant me a power with in reason and i can help you kill the first spirit, i am not forcing this on you this is purely your decision."
"At least you have the dignity to allow a decision even though it would not matter if you force me or not." She said. "Hm... i guess i could accept if you tell me what the power is, after all we do need to trust each other."
"Fine, i want the power over Shadow and Light." Bryce said calmly.
"Okay, that seems reasonable i guess. Okay now think of the power and don't take to long or else i will think your up to something." She said point the pistol at him signifying that she will shoot him.
"Got it."
"I'll give about 12 seconds because you need to think of an angel and, since your a male, astral armor." She lectured.
"Okay."
"The clock starts now!"
"I want more than the power of Shadow and Light." He thought the rest up very quickly, yes he had planned this. "My astral armor will be called Arma and my angle will be called Seniori." He thought. "Okay im good."
"Just in the nick of time ... Zaphkeil! Yod Aleph!" Kurumi called out her angel and shot the 11th bullet into his head.
"Well that wa..." He felt a heavy burning sensation.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" The pain was unbearable, he has been stabbed, shot, even broken a limb or two saving a friend, but this was worse far worse.
"Sorry i did not tell you about that otherwise you would have been apprehensive." She said sarcastically.
After that Bryce blacked out, the last thing he heard was Kurumi chuckling.
Bryce woke up in a room where there was only a small desk, a ceiling fan with a light, a window with the blinds closed, and the bed he was laying in.
He sat up and though about where he was.
"Finally your awake, i though i would need to shake you up." Said a Kurumi in the corner across from him, giggling.
She was wearing here regular casual dress.
"Hey Kurumi, were am i?" Bryce asked.
"Why, were in Tengu City." She said while opening the blinds.
Bryce got up to look outside, they were in a small urban street with a great view of the city central.
"By the way i never got you name?" Kurumi asked
"Oh sorry, my name is Bryce Wilson and im sixteen." Bryce answered
"Nice to meet you then." she said smiling and holding out her hand for a handshake.
Bryce went to return it and when he did Kurumi pulled him right in front of her, there bodies were touching to say the least.
"Aww that gunshot left a burn mark on your head, i'll kiss it to make it feel better." She said in seductive yet mocking voice.
As she leaned in Bryce pulled away.
"It's fine, and, i know what your doing." He said mockingly while smirking at her.
"Oh really, and what was i supposedly trying to do?" She asked.
"You were most likely trying teasing or seducing me for the long run so i would develop a crush on you or fall for you, but it is going to take a lot more than looks and teasing to get me." Bryce said proudly.
What he said was true, he always looked into a girls personality not her beauty, although he did agree that looks were somewhat important but never final.
"Then let's put actions behind your words." Kurumi said mischievously.
"Great not even a day and there's already a bet." Bryce said disapprovingly.
"Actually you have been out for two days." Kurumi interjected
"What?! Never mind let's not get off topic, what is this bet of yours?" he said.
"If that is how you truly view a girl then here is my bet, If i get you to lean in to kiss me or even get erect then i win, if you don't then you win. This will last for a week." Kurumi proposed.
"What are the benefits of the victor?" he asked
"If i win then then you have to do as i say for an entire day including sex, If you win you can take me on a date without any tricks up my sleeve guaranteed." She propose
"I'm not going to lie that sex comment threw me off, but i guess i'll accept on one condition!" he replied.
"What is it?" she asked.
"That you can not use Lingerie until an hour left in the week, even though you still can still use it when that time comes, you don't have an immediate advantage." Bryce said calmly with out stutter.
"Fine I guess i'll give you that." She said pouting.
She stuck out he hand for a handshake, Bryce was a bit cautious, Kurumi sighed and just grabbed his hand and shook it.
"My the best one win." She said confidently
"Good luck." Bryce replied
There bet was now under way but something would have to put a hold on it as they were dragged into something, no thanks to Bryce.
