The third exorcists rule in this third chapter and I'm happy of this… I like them after all and I'm going to give them a lot of space if I can. I'll do my best to make you love them too!
PLEASE, COMMENT AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! I'm really curious…
For this second chapter I used to listen to " Solitude" one of the soundtrack of the" Vampire Knight" anime. Listen to this song while you're reading!!" I believe that listening to the music which had inspirited the author while you're reading his/her work is really important, that's why I'm insisting so much about this.
SECOND CHAPTER- THE HALF-AKUMA FAMILY
Night- Malcolm C. Leverrier's Office
Commandant Leverrier was anxiously waiting for someone.
He took another glance at the watch in front of him. They were late and he was getting angry until someone knocked against the door. Five knocks. It was them.
" Enter." Leverrier ordered with his usual cold voice despite the excitement.
Six people entered. Five of them were wearing red clothes, but not the one who seemed to be their leader: it was a woman with a muscular body and an aggressive, wild, look on her face under the short blond hair. Her expression made her look like an eagle.
Leverrier observed her while she was taking seat in front of him, then he said:
" Well, Renee, I see you've taken a few people with you. I suppose they're the group of the third exorcists, aren't they? "
" They are, indeed." She answered with a proud smile, " They're the result of the experiment you ordered us to do."
"No! " Leverrier interrupted her "The experiment the Pope ordered us to do." He clarified
" I'm sorry, forgive me, I meant : the experiment the Pope ordered us to do. " She repeated, obedient. Leverrier smiled: " Go on. "
Renee sighed with relief: " We have interfered on their DNA and transformed them into half-akuma. Like you surely know there are only three ways to destroy akuma: self-destruction, innocence, cannibalism. We aren't able to provoke the first condition, so until now we have fought only by using innocence, but now things are going to change: by transforming people into half-akuma we can make use, to our advantage, of the third way: the cannibalism. We have created five super-exorcists who re able to defeat akuma by eating them and that can absorb the powers of their prey! " She pointed at the five guys behind her, her face distorted with joy ad pride.
But Leverrier was ready to destroy that sort of satisfaction: " And what about their mind? Can you assure they will remain loyal to us? "
Renee blushed for the shame at the rudeness of Leverrier, but the group of exorcists behind her didn't show any reaction. Only the younger, a cute girl named Kiredori, betrayed a sudden gesture of anger, but she recovered very quickly.
After a moment of embarrassment, Renee decided to answer: " Our group of third exorcists are completely loyal to us. Though their body were modified, their mind are absolutely human as before."
A wild smile appeared on Leverrier's face: " Well, " he said, " if that's so I have no other questions. I hope to see your puppets at work very soon, Renee. "
The scientist blushed again asking to herself how can a man be so rude and so hopelessly stupid, then she took leave as soon as she could.
" Madarao, Tevak, Kiredori, Tokusa, Goushi," she called out once they were alone, " we'll take action soon and I want you all to be ready for everything. Do you understand what I mean? "
The exorcists nodded.
" Well," concluded Renee, " and please, don't mind what he had said. For him all exorcists are puppets , so there is no prejudice against you in his words. The only thing he wants is to win this war, no matter how, so, please, be careful." She said, then she moved out of the building leaving the others alone.
Tevak, a beautiful woman with long, blond, hair turned towards her companions: " Madarao, " she asked, " what do you think about this? "
He shrugged his shoulders: " There is nothing we can do. We have no choice, but to obey our superiors."
" I don't like him!!!" cried out Kiredori " That freaking bastard…"
"Kire-chan! " Tokusa interrupted her with a mischievous smile " Since when have you started to use that kind of words? "
"That's none of your business! "she replied " And stop calling me Kire-chan! I hate it! "
" You always hate everything…" Goushi detected
" Why do you always agree with him? And why are you always against me? I can't bear all this anymore, I… I… " she gasped
"… hate you? " concluded Tokusa smiling
" Oh, damn you, Tokusa! " she cried out in despair and then tried to went away, but Madarao's voice stopped her: " Kiredori, remain here, we must remain together."
" It's late. Let's return home. " Tevak's quite, low, voice broke the tension. Madarao looked at her and smiled softly: she had always been like this, so quiet and beautiful, able to make everyone calm down with a single glance.
Long time ago, when they were still human, they're engaged, but now…
" Does it have any sense anymore? " he thought " What meaning can have an engagement for people who are less than beast, for people who are half-demons and, this was the very worst, that have accepted to be like this? Do we have the right to have human feelings anymore? "
He knew Tevak didn't agree with him:
" there is nothing right or wrong, but what you believe to be so. Then don't worry about those things and don't stop to love me! " She had said once.
" Let's go home. " repeated the present Tevak. Three of her companion nodded and immediately followed her, but Kiredori protested: " I still can't believe that we have to call home that place! " she cried out with rage, but then she followed them too.
