Thanks a lof for the reviews I am happy that there are people who like this kind of story. I always thought I'd be a loner fan of Lapis! :D Here is chap 4! I hope you don't hate it bu if there is something you dislike let me know please review!
Lapis Pov
Master is here, I will explain everything to him now. I am sure he will understand me. I will just tell him that I want to quit trying to cause other people pain because it never made me happy...He would understand me...I am sure...
"Master. I have made a decision, will you listen to me?"
"What could that be?" he asked, looking at me.
"I-I don't want to cause other peoples pain and despair anymore because it doesn't make me happy. Even though I caused the Kannagi's a lot of pain they treated me well and as a family member. I am not sure yet, because I still don't know what real feelings are, but I think I was happy staying at the Kannagi's. Will you allow me to stay with them?"
Bernhardt started to laugh hard.
"Hahahahahahahahaha." It was an evil laugh.
"Lapis. Did you forget the thing Kazuma did to you? He let you die right infront of your eyes. Don't you want to pay him back badly?"
"No. Tsui Ling's real thoughts weren't that she wanted to kill him! She loved him until the end and wanted to stay with him forever."
"So you lied to me? You have guts lying to your master who created you."
"I am very sorry Master!" I apologized as I bowed.
Master Bernhardt grinned.
"Lapis you are foolish. Is this what I get for treating you so well all this time? Is this what I get for giving you a new life? Is this what I get for supporting you against your killer?"
What was I to answer to all this questions? He was right. He treated me well and he created me, I had to respect and look up to him. He gave me life, it's thanks to him that I am here. Right now. But I don't want to be a part of Armagest anymore..I don't want to hurt anyone else...besides that...if master really cares about me, why did he leave me to die that day? Why didn't he save me?
Ayano spotted the confusion in my eyes.
"Lapis, don't listen to him."
I turned around to face her. I didn't know what to say, I just starred at her. But I still wanted to know why master left me alone that day.
"Master, why did you leave me to die that day? The thunder magic user would have killed me if Kazuma hadn't come."
"I was badly injured. You told me to run, why do you twist things Lapis?"
"Master...I...I am sorry..."
"Shut up." I heard Ayano say.
Both, me and Master Bernhardt looked at her.
"There is nothing you need to apologize for Lapis. That bastard wouldn't care if you died. He doesn't care about anyone but himself. Forget about him. I will defeat him so that he wont try to drag you into his shit anymore. "
"Oh? Are you really planning on defeating me Miss Kannagi?"
"It's like I said. A guy like you needs to be killed. You are a scumbag. I wont forgive you for the despair you caused Kazuma...I mean all the people who suffered because of you..."
"Very well. Since you seem very confident I wont go easy on you."
"You don't need to."
There was no way Ayano could win against my master! He was so much stronger compared to her! Why was she being so reckless?
"Ayano!" I tried to call her but she didn't even bother to look at me. She took out her Enraiha and got into a fighting position.
"Don't get hurt." I said.
I would stop the fight if one of them was to be hurt badly. I didn't want Ayano nor master Bernhardt to be killed.
Ayano Pov
This is my chance. I will show Kazuma how strong I am by defeating this guy. I will give my best. Tzz, he doesn't seem that strong anyway. Kazuma just lost against him because he didn't possess any powers at that time. He wont win against me.
I ran towards him with my Enraiha. He quickly created a barrier, which I tried to break. He let me try it for a while but then he suddenly fired an attack at me which sent me flying to the ground. I landed on my feet and ran towards him again. As I send fireballs flying towards him he lit them off with some water.
What? He is able to use water magic? I looked at him shocked, since I spaced out he had a chance to fire a strong attack at me which send me flying at a wall. He floated down and walked towards me. Why? Why was he able to use water magic?
"Why can you use water magic?" I asked as I got up.
"Don't be so angry. I am a modern magic user. We can use any kinds of magic you know."
I was shocked. Was this really true? If it was then I didn't have a chance at all...
"We can stop here if you are scared now. I don't like to be rough with a woman as pretty as yourself."
"I am not scared of a scumbag like you."
"Hmmm. Tell me, do you love Kazuma?"
"What the hell does this have to do with the fight!"
"So you do..."
"It's none of your bussniss!" I yelled waving Enraiha at him, he quickly lit it off with some water.
"Kazuma really is lucky. He gets all the beautiful girls. That is the only thing I envy him for. Hahahaha."
Why? Why is he laughing?
"Shut up! I will kill you!" I threw fireballs at him again, which once more, were lit off by his water attack.
"You are so fired up , do you want to kill me for Kazuma's sake?"
Was this the reason? I hated how he made Kazuma feel bad and I hated how he took the person he loved the most away from him. He created a clone who tortured his heart by her lie of last thoughts and the only thing which makes him happy is torturing Kazuma's heart. Is the reason I am trying to defeat him because of that? No...it's not...Kazuma is an idiot...He wouldn't need my help anyway. If he wanted he could kill off Bernhardt anytime. What was the reason for my serious fighting? The reason was...I turned around and saw Lapis who had watched the fight the whole time. I smiled. Right. It was to protect a new friend. Friends...the only friends I ever had were Nanase and Yukari..because they are not scared of me or my powers. Now I had a new friend. She was precious to me, and I didn't want Bernhardt to use her anymore. He didn't care about her at all. I lifted up Enraiha and I didn't realize that I just summoned Crimson Flame.
"JUST SHUT UP AND DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" I yelled firing Crimson Flame at him. He was hit pretty badly and he didn't move for a moment. Was it over now?
No, it wasn't. He got up slowly.
"Y-you...YOU BITCH!" He shouted while creating a huge explosion which ripped open the entire street. I threw myself on top of Lapis, so that she wouldn't get hurt. I though, was hit pretty badly. I felt how my legs became heavy. Blood was running down my arms and legs. My uniform was ripped. I felt my body trembling due to the pain. He is strong. Creating such a huge explosion, he is really strong. I didn't have any chance against him. Kazuma, you idiot were are you at moments like this?
"Ayano-chan!" Lapis said shocked as she saw how badly injured I was.
"Don't worry, I am alright." I lied.
Lapis Pov
Why did she say that she was all right? I could see that was wasn't fine at all! Master you could have killed her with that attack! Ayano...she protected me...if it wasn't for her...I would be injured as badly as her...maybe even more. I had to pay her back now. That's right. I gently laid her off me and got up, I summoned my sword and ran towards master Bernhardt.
As I swung my sword up to cut him he fired a strong modern magic attack at me which sent me flying to the ground. I wasn't hit too badly, but there was blood running from the side of the left corner of my month. I felt him getting closer. He lifted me up by my collar so that I was at eye height with him. I looked at him. His face was filled with anger. I felt how my legs started to shake, making him this angry wasn't good at all.
"Lapis. What the hell are you thinking? How do you dare to attack your master? You stupid little thing. That was a big mistake you know, I am suprior to you and I wont forgive you for what you did. Servants who disobey their masters must be punished!" He yelled and threw me back to the ground like trash. I hit the hard and dirty ground. This was the end. He would kill me now. But after all I don't deserve to live anymore. I opposed the one who created me, my master. And I caused so much pain to Kazuma...a guy who isn't bad at all..A person like me...no a servant like me... is better off dead. I moved slightly and saw that Ayano still laid on the ground. Why was she still here? She was consicous, why didn't she run...I don't want her to die...Ayano...please run.
"Ayano-chan! You need to get out of here! Run!"
"It's no use trying to give her advice in escaping. I hit her pretty badly, she shouldn't be able to move. " Bernhardt said evilly.
Ayano would die. And again it would be my fault, I couldn't do anything...I don't want to cause Kazuma anymore despair. Ayano please don't die...
Ayano Pov
This doesn't look too good for us. Dammit. I hope you are going to get your ass over here soon, you idiot. Didn't you sense his presence already? Or is this another attempt of yours trying to show me how weak I am and how suprior you are? Jerk! Just get here already. I thought to myself as I typed a text message to Kazuma. Luckily my cell phone didn't broke in previous the explosion.
Kazuma Pov
Sigh. These yomas are so weak. Kirika could have fought them by herself or with Catherine's help...But anyway I wont complain. Atleast the payment is good. As I finished off all the yomas I felt my cell phone vibrating. I was alerted because I handed my other mobile to Lapis and told her to contact me if something was wrong. But instead of Lapis it was from Ayano. I opened the message.
Where the heck are you? Bernhardt attacked us, I am knocked out pretty badly and so is Lapis. Get here as soon as you can. I feel like he wouldn't hold back anything. We are at the bridge next to the cake shop.
End of message.
Shit! So that bastard did attack them! I still had 2 jobs to do in Oogami street and Takahashi street, but...
Lapis and the part of Tsui-Ling that's still alive inside of her are more important than money. I quickly flew off.
"Hey Yagami-san! There still are 2 jobs you need to do!" I heard the police officer say.
I don't care now. Get Catherine to do this job for you. There is something more important I need to do. I didn't answer and just continued flying.
Kirika Pov
"Detective Tachibana, what shall we do now? He just disapeared! That is so unlike him!" The police officer stated.
"It must be something important." I said as I was looking into the sky.
He probably wanted to save Ayano-chan. He didn't want to make the same mistake again.
Lapis Pov
I felt how I was pulled up by my hair by my master.
"Usually I punish my servants much rougher. I just went easy on you because it was you."
"Master..." I stammered.
"What is it? Do you have a sudden urge? I do have it too to be honest. We all do once in a while you know." He said as his finger brushed over my lips.
"Master...please...don't kill Ayano..."
"Her? I wont kill her. I have no interest in killing her. I guess Kazuma will feel pretty guilty just seeing how badly hit she was. That's enough for me. I could torture her much more, but I am running out of time, you know. I would much rather do something with you right now."
What did he mean? Did he want to torture me instead of Ayano? It would be fine with me, atleast Ayano-chan wouldn't get hurt anymore then.
"Some-thing?" I asked with a shake in my voice.
"You know what I am talking about. Don't play dumb."
What was he talking about?
"So, how about it Lapis? I will forgive you if you let me do you all night long." He said as his other hand sqeezed my boobs.
So he was talking about it. I see...He wanted me to come back...but he didn't even say sorry for not saving me. Huh? Why would he anyway? He is my master...
"Let go off her..." Ayano suddenly said weakly.
"Oh so you're awake now?" Bernhardt asked with a joyful voice.
How? How could he enjoy seeing her in so much pain?
"I was all this time you bastard." Ayano replied with her usual temper. She wasn't scared of him at all. I admired her for that. She had a lot of courage and she was very brave.
"Hmph. Maybe I should have been much rougher after all."
"You can't defeat me. No matter how much you try. You wont defeat me." Ayano continued.
"Even if you hit me with this same attack of yours 100 of times, I would get up anytime."
"Hmph. So why don't you try and get up?" Bernhardt asked taunting.
Ayano didn't reply at all. She wasn't fine at all! Why did she try to push herself so much?
"I see. So you were just bluffing. As expected from a Kannagi member."
Ayano clinched her teeth.
Kazuma Pov
I was almost there. And I could feel his disgusting presence already.
When I reached the bridge I saw how messed up the place was. So he used that attack... I looked around and saw Ayano laying on the ground. Geez, so you really believed you could defeat a big shot like him, didn't you? Anyways..where was Lapis? Did he take her away already? I looked around the whole place. She was nowhere to be found. Shit!
"Welcome." Bernhardt who stood behind me greeted as if I was his friend.
I turned around and saw how he held Lapis in his arms. She was unconscious.
"What did you do to her?" I asked, clenching my fists just wanting to punch the shit out of him.
"Nothing serious. I just put a curse on her which would let her sleep for a while. I didn't want her to struggle any longer."
"Let her go you bastard."
"I wont let her be in her killers hands."
"So, you are the one who is protecting Lapis right now aren't you? Why is she injured so badly then?"
" Sometimes you need to be rough with the ones you love, even you do know that Kazuma, don't you?"
The scumbag was talking shit again, trying to make me angry. But if I attacked him now I would hit Lapis too. I just would have to get her out of his grip for now... I finally had an idea. But I had to be quick. Otherwise he would try to use Lapis as his shield.
"Fast wind blades!" I summoned the attack which passed Lapis and hit Bernhardt, he was in pain and was loosing grip of Lapis. I quickly caught her, so that she wouldn't fall from this height.
"Damn you." I heard Bernhardt say as he teleported away.
Coward. But this wouldn't be the end, he would come for Lapis again. I flew down to check on Ayano.
"Finally you came...you jerk.." she said weakly.
"Idiot! Why did you fight him all by yourself? You should have called me instantly! Bernhardt is one of the strongest enemies I ever faced!"
"I realized that now..."
"You still think you are strong enough to defeat big shots like him, stop it already Ayano you know you can't defeat them!"
"Shut up. I will defeat people like him one day!"
"But your power isn't strong enough right now!"
As we yelled at each other Lapis slowly opened her eyes.
"Lapis are you allright?" I asked, fearing Bernhardt might have put another curse on her.
"Yeah I am." she answered emotionless.
"Anyways, we need to get away from here. Ayano, can you move?"
"I think I can."
"It's alright I can walk Ayano-chan, Kazuma should carry you." Lapis said as she got up.
"I don't want to be carried by a guy like that..." She stubbornly said as she got up. But her right foot was too injured. It wasn't able to lift her weight so she collapsed. I quickly caught her. Sigh. Why was she always pushing herself? Even though I have to save her sometimes, that doesn't mean she is a burden to me.
"Geez you are so stubborn. Let's fly. I can carry both of you." I said as I gestured Lapis to get on my back (piggyback carrying) and lifted up Ayano bridal style.
At the Kannagi mansion...
Ayano was taken care of by the maids who treated her wounds, Lapis was just fine since she didn't have any serious wounds. I was sitting in the meeting room with Jugo.
"Will Pops come home today?" I asked. I needed to know that. Bernhardt would maybe try to kidnap Lapis from here and I wanted to prevent that from happening. If my old man would be here I would just take her to my hotel room.
"No he has something to take care of. He will be back on Monday. Why Kazuma? Do you plan on staying here?"
"Yeah I do."
"That is great! Would you like to sleep in Ayano's room then?"
There he goes again.
"No, I think I will be fine in the guestroom." I answered.
I walked towards the guestroom and sat on the bed for a while. I suddenly heard the voices of two girls. One was undoubtely Ayano and the other one was...Tsui-ling..no...Lapis...I noticed how they sat down in the kitchen. I opened the door and followed them
"Are you two fine now?"
"Tzz, Kazuma you should have come much sooner. Don't tell me you didn't sense the presence already!" Ayano yelled. Wow. After all this, that she still has the energy to be this mad...
"I had a job to do. By the way Lapis I gave you my mobile, I told you that you should call me if something happens. Why didn't you do that?"
"Mobile?" she asked as if she didn't know what it was. Well she probably didn't!
"Well the thing with which you can call and all you know...I gave it to you in the morning, saying you should use that if you get into any trouble."
"Ah! I remember now, I actually tried that out in my room. But it was useless, how do I fight with that? I didn't knOw so I left it in my room. I thought I would be just fine with my sword."
Anime sweatdrops formed on my and Ayano's head.
"You don't fight with that Lapis, it's something to keep in touch with each other. I will teach you everything about it next time. So that you wont get into trouble again."
"I see." she answered emotionless
"Geez you are such a klutz Lapis..." Ayano stated while pulling the other girls cheeck.
"But I can't really be mad at you..."
"Thank you Ayano-chan." Lapis said as she bowed. She still acted as if we were her new masters. I hoped that soon she would realize that we are her friends and that she doesn't need to worship us or anything.
"Anyways I think we should go to bed now." Ayano said.
"Yeah right. I am tried." I replied.
"Hehe. And you still have to fly all the way from here to your hotel. Serves you right." Ayano said.
"Actually I don't need to since I will be sleeping over today."
"Whaaaaat? Who gave you the permission?"
"Your father."
Ayano sighed and walked away.
"Ayano-chan!" Lapis called as she put her hand on Ayano's shoulder.
Ayano turned around.
"What is it?"
"Thank you very much for today." Lapis smiled lightly.
"Don't worry about it Lapis. We are friends. No formal talks in friendships, okay?"
Lapis nodded and walked to her room together with Ayano. I was glad that they have become good friends already. I also was very thankful to Ayano that she protected Lapis, even though I didn't show it I was very thankful. Ayano can be kind if it's about her friends, huh?
I opened the door to my room, removed my clothes and got into my boxers.
Lapis Pov
I was wearing the nighty Ayano gave me. I really liked it, it was white and reached to the knees. It had pink flowers on the top. It was abit loose but perfectly fine around the chest.
Kazuma...he saved me again today...There has to be someway for me to thank him...what could make him happy? I was wondering and thought about the things that made Bernhardt happy. Suddenly something came to my mind. I opened my door quietly and went over into the guest room.
I opened the door and saw the male figure getting up. He turned on the lights and looked quite surpirsed.
"Oh, it's you Lapis. What is it?"
"Kazuma...I actually...want to thank you...for today..."
"Don't thank me. I told you I wont let you get hurt, nor the part of Tsui-Ling that's still alive inside of you..."
"But Kazuma...I have to thank you somehow..." I answered as I opened the buttons of the nighty to expose my breasts to him.
"Lapis..." He said as he starred at me.
"You can do anything you like...that way I want to thank you..."
He was silent for sometime, still starring at my exposed breasts.
He then surprisingly closed all off my buttons.
"Lapis, you see , you do that kind of thing only with the person you love."
"Love?"
"Yeah, it is something very important and you shouldn't just do it with anyone."
So did Bernhardt-sama love me? I was confused...
"I see, I am sorry."
"It's okay. I am glad you weren't hurt today. I am free tomorrow so we can go somewhere if you like..." He smiled at me gently.
"Yes I would like to spent time with you." I answered.
"Good. See you tommorow then, get a good rest." He said.
"Good night." I said and left the room.
Kazuma Pov
Sigh. Her body...it is the same as Tsui-Ling's it made me remember that night...our first night. It was the first time for me and the first time for her...Geez I acted so clumsy that time.
"If it hurts tell me I will stop right away." I assured Tsui-Ling as I strocked her cheeck.
I thrust into her and her legs started trembling in pain. Tears were running down her cheecks as I took her virginity. I couldn't stand seeing her in so much pain and quickly pulled out. She panted heavily.
"Tsui-Ling if it hurts too much let's stop now."
"No. Kazuma. I love you so much. I want to feel you inside me. I want to be one with you. It should be fine now that my virginity was taken away. It shouldn't hurt anymore. Please go inside me once more."
I thrust inside her again and instead of crying in pain she was now moaning in pleasure and so was I.
End Flashback.
It was a night full of love, I haven't experied something like that for a long time now. The girls I slept with after Tsui-Ling's death, were just for fun. I needed to ease myself at times. That was pretty normal I guess. I felt myself getting hard when I looked at Lapis body who was the same as Tsui-Ling's. But I didn't want to sleep with her, not like that. It would have been fine with anyone else, but not with Lapis. If she ever was to do it I wanted it to be loving for her. Not just for fun or in order to pay someone back...
Thanks for reading! I will have Ayano, Lapis and the rest of the girls going on a hot spring holiday in the next chap so look forward to it! :D Btw sorry I really suck at writing fighting scenes!
