"If anyone eligible to claim Eden and the position, is alive in Vibora clan...then you all are gonna get so fucking screwed in your life."
Of course, Rin's last words made each vampire's spine chilled. They instantly tried hard to think if they had anything else to know about the snake clan. Finally, Ruki spoke up,
"Is that anything else that you found out about the Vibora clan's history, Carla?"
"I told you whatever I found in their library. I didn't get scope to dig deeper."
"But there's not anyone left supposed to be the heir, right?" Kou worriedly said. "I mean any of king Burai's relatives..."
"As per as I know, they all died." Reiji replied thoughtfully, "And even if there were any, they should have showed themselves a long ago..."
"That's right...but," Shu thoughtfully said, "That woman seems to know something about the Viboras...which we don't know."
"Even so, she is not trustworthy." Ruki said, "We didn't get to know about her clan so that we could know her intention."
"Thanks to Yours Truly for making her leave before we knew that!" Subaru sneered.
"Shut up!" Ayato yelled back, "She was an annoying Melon! Interrogating us out of nowhere...!"
"But don't you think her questions were valid?" Carla coldly said, "Today she overheard that's why she asked this. If the Viboras are able to prove the existence of Awasaki brothers...what will be your plan when everyone else would question on this?"
Now the vampires had found no answer for the albino first-blood's question so they remained silent for a while.
"Then we'll just have to fight them."
Everyone stared at the tallest Mukami when he said that. Before his blonde brother said,
"Yuma-kun is right. Whether it's me or anyone else becomes Adam, we won't handover Eden to anyone."
"He's our father." Ruki said, "So, we'll have to protect what his treasures, even if we have to be unfair towards others."
"Seriously, why're you Mukamis so obsessed with him?!" Shin frowned.
"He's the one...who has given us...life. Eden is...so precious...to him. So, we'll...protect it." Azusa replied.
"Look everyone," Yui spoke up, "I don't think, violence will help you. It'll only make people hate you even though you become Adam. And I don't want people to hate any of you. Because this is none of your fault. I think, you all need to truce with the Viboras. If we can discuss with them properly on this matter, I'm sure Zweig-san and others will understand."
"Yui is right." Reiji said, "And for that, I think we need to ally with the Wolves clan and the Adler clan. So that, we all can convince the Viboras to make peace with us."
"That can be arranged, I suppose." Carla said, "We're already allied with the Wolves."
"And about Rin-chan...even though we don't know her, yet I don't think she have a bad intention." The girl said thoughtfully, "You see, she could have let the others know whatever she heard about us. But instead, she directly approached us because it confused her. I think, she just wants an honest ruler like everyone else. So her interference was not wrong I guess."
"I hope you're right, Yui." Subaru said, "And if that girl is true, then Viboras will attack on us in a while."
"Then let's go to our castle at first." Shin said, "There we'll discuss how to deal with them."
Later at Banmaden:
"Thank you, Carla-san and Shin-kun. The dinner was very delicious."
Yui gratefully thanked the Tsukinamis, so did the vampires. Then Carla said,
"Now we'll accompany you guys with our troops till we reach Eden."
And so they started to go to Eden with the subordinates of the first-bloods. When two or three hours passed, they were in the wilderness.
"Tch! I think that girl duped us!" Shin groaned, "There's no sign or presence of any Vibora."
"Right. We crossed more than halfway. And any of the other clan was not supposed to know about this route." Ayato added.
"Then I suppose, you guys should go back." Reiji said to the first-bloods. "We can continue the rest by our own-..."
"...Someone...help me!"
A girly scream was heard out of nowhere. The vampires and Yui went alerted before the voice was heard again. Finally, they sensed a presence nearby. They followed the aura and reached by a lake. And then they saw something weird, a girl was sitting at the lakefront.
"What the...?!" Ayato exclaimed.
"What's a girl doing here alone?" Yui was shocked.
"Is there anyone can hear me?!" A childish voice was heard.
"Tch...so troublesome!" Subaru groaned, "Oi...what's wrong with you?!" He yelled at the girl, before going closer. The others followed him. Then they got a proper view of the girl. She was facing the opposite, and had long twin pigtails. Then hearing the vampires, she finally looked back, before getting up and turning to them.
Once again, the thirteen of them were awestruck. In front of them, there was another tall girl like the previous girl they met, but this one's appearance was rather girly and childish, unlike the silverette. She had porcelain skin and a baby doll face with puffy cheeks and pouty pink lips. Her rose-gold ombre twin tails were tied by white hairbands and came down to her thighs. There was a pretty butterfly clip at the left side of her right-parted bangs. She was giving a doe look with big and bright teal eyes. In addition to her sheer cuteness, she had full ample breasts covered by her white sleeved light pink colored top and curvy hips under her white mini skirt with pink frills. There was a maroon ribbon on the neckline of her top that was tied in a long bow and her nails were colored with rosy pink nail polish. Her legs were covered by white pink striped thigh-high socks and white converse shoes.
"She's so cute!" Yui was the first one to react.
"Yeah...that makes me want to eat her up..." Kou murmured before subconsciously licking his lips. Subaru in front of him, narrowed his eyes to hear that, "I thought Laito just spoke up!"
"Hmm? I guess we should remember the night today..." The actual pervert grinned, realizing the fact of meeting three beautiful girls within few hours.
"Um...you are...?" Finally the girl talked.
"We were on the way to Eden." Reiji replied, "We're vampires and the sons of Karl Heinz. What're you doing here?"
The girl did not answer his question. Instead, her expression changed as her eyes widened at first, before she gritted her fangs. "So, you're those thief bats I was waiting here for, huh?"
"Ehh?!"
"...then, it's punishment time!" The girl's eyes began to glow...and the cyan colored slitted snake pupils were now clear in front of the twelve individuals."Is she...?!" Kanato gasped.
"...A vibora!" Kou finished for him. But it was too late to catch up. As the rose-blonde girl threw something towards them in inhuman speed before anyone could know what was going on. But thanks to Carla and Shin's magic together, a barrier was created within seconds to cover themselves along with the vampires and Yui. Then everyone noticed in horror, the familiars of the Tsukinamis that came along with them, all dropped dead with their throats ripped by saw blades. A few saws were stuck in the barrier created by the Tsukinamis.
"Ugh!"
"Ayato-kun!" Yui was horrified to see the redhead bleeding from his arm...as a saw blade hit on his arm.
"Yui! Stay back with Ayato!" Reiji ordered.
"Shit! Those blades are weakening the barrier!" Shin groaned as more and more saws came before stopping suddenly.
"Huh? Where did that girl go?!" Kou found no one in front of the barrier after the saws were stopped. Then Yuma yelled on top of his lungs,
"UP THERE!"
The twin-tailed girl was on air by a high jump...with a thick samurai sword in hands. She lept over the protective barrier and slashed on it with the sword, before entering inside by breaking through the barrier.
"Agggh!" Shin yelled in pain as his side got cut by the girl's sword, the moment she broke the barrier.
"Shin-kun!" Yui gasped to see another one getting hurt.
"Shin! Back off and stay with Ayato and Yui!" Carla yelled. The viper beauty started to attack the rest by her sword in a surprising speed.
"She is..." Shu was shocked to see that, "...at least five times faster than us!"
"Since when Viboras became this fast?!" Yuma grimaced.
"Please...stop!" Azusa tried to make a conversation, "We...can talk."
"That won't help, Azusa. She's not listening." Ruki said before turning to Reiji and Shu. "Karl Heinz-sama distributed his magic power equally among us ten until anyone becomes Adam. So, let's use it now."
The two Sakamakis nodded before Reiji yelled at others, "Everyone! Let's combine all of our power together!"
The other vampires except Ayato and Shin, got the cue and raised their hands to unleash their power.
"After me!" Carla declared before he started. With that the others followed suit. All their power combined into a single lightning and went towards the viper girl. Then there was an explosion sound and then her scream,
"NOOOO!"
The entire place were filled with smokes and light so the vampires and the first-bloods could not see what happened. Yui watched as she was suddenly concerned,
"The girl won't die, will she?"
"Not sure, M neko-chan." Kou replied while watching, "But, it's too late for that now. She didn't give us any chance to talk so there was nothing else we could do."
The lights and smokes slowly faded, before revealing the vibora girl. No, she was not dead. She was sitting on her knees, her long rose blonde twin pigtails swayed on the ground around her. Her sword was broken, but she did not seemed to be that hurt. In fact, the wounds on her skin that she got by the powerful impact, already started to heal slowly. The only major damage that she got...was on her clothes.
Her skirt and long socks were ripped here and there, showing her soft milky thighs. Upper part of her top was torn, revealing more of her buttery skin and her pink white striped drawstring bra. The vampires were distracted for a moment by the view of her delicate body.
"I can't believe...ten of our power were combined, and that caused just few scratches...!" Subaru was the one to catch up himself first, "Just how fucking strong she is!"
"If a female Vibora can be that strong..." Kanato commented, "Then how did we win over Zweig and his army that easily?"
"Zweig's armies weren't fighting back." Ruki thoughtfully murmured. "But this woman is much more stronger than a regular Vibora."
The twin-tailed girl finally recovered from her weak state and noticed the boys' stare. Then she looked down to see her exposed skin, before,
"Eeeeeeehhhh!" She screamed before hugging herself, trying to cover her upper body, "You ripped my clothes by your magic to see my undies...eeeheehh!" She made a childish crying noise.
Kou made a cartoon-like face to hear that, "Seriously...is that your main concern now?!"
"No one here is turned on..." Shu flatly said, "...to see that unattractive inner wear of yours."
"Shu-san...not again!" Yui got embarrassed to hear that.
"Is that your way of counterattack, Neet?" Yuma snorted. In reply, the said blonde just shrugged.
"Um, but I won't say they're unattractive...she looks hot!" Laito winked. "And it's a lie that no one here is turned on."
The vibora girl took a while to decipher what they were talking about. Then she yelled, "Are you saying that I'm unattractive?!" She then removed her hands from her chest, before pointing her own cleavage, "You're saying this is unattractive?! This is from the top brand, okay?! Are you a homo?!" She took her anger out clenching her fists.
"What's with this show now?!" Shin yelled while groaning in pain. Now the unharmed boys remembered that their two fellows had been hurt.
"We must not waste our time by this useless conversation." Reiji irritably adjusted his glasses. "You all help Ayato and Tsukinami Shin, while Shu, Ruki, Tsukinami Carla and I talk to this woman-..."
But when they looked back to the rose blonde twin-tailed beauty...she was nowhere to be found. Then all of them were startled by,
"So? How was the surprise attack, huh?" Instead, they were greeted by a certain silver-haired ponytailed beauty. "Surprised enough?"
I guess you know who was stalking them. Next chapter is coming up tomorrow. And if you like this, don't forget to follow, favorite and review the story.
