After getting home and putting my groceries in the refrigerator, freezer and almost empty cabinets, I went back out.
'I should take a trip to...Harajuku and be in hiding for a while. The Blue King must've figured out what I am because I summoned my Sword of Damocles a week ago...'
Thinking about the time I saved the male known as Totsuka, I didn't feel any regret of saving him. If revealing myself to others means saving someone--even if I don't know them--I'll be glad to do it again.
Deciding to head to the train station, I walked their quickly without trying to bring attention to myself because anybody could be watching me now.
'My next and last classes are this Sunday before Winter Break. Today is Thursday...Tch, I'll have to pass and make up an excuse.'
"Hey, you!" A young male's voice called out to me.
My power walking soon turned into sprinting as I heard what sounds like roller skates or a skateboard following me.
'Ugh! Why can't these clans just leave me alone?! I am of no importance to them and I certainly pose no threat to them!'
Bumping into someone, I quickly apologized with my eyes closed, then tried to pass that person, but a hand grabbed me and spinned me back around.
"So, you're the one?"
Opening my eyes, they widened as a man held me by my right hand and my waist with the other in a dipping position.
The unknown male wore a black blazer, white undershirt, black pants, black dress shoes and tinted shades. His hair color is brownish blond and his eyes are brown, too--from what I can tell behind the shades.
"U-um, excuse m-me?"
As one could already see, I don't know how to handle flirting men or those who are interested in me.
"Mister Kusanagi, I see you caught her," said the male who was chasing after me behind.
I looked down more to see an upside down version of the boy who wore the beanie, white t-shirt, burgundy shorts and tennis shoes.
When he looked down at me, his cheeks instantly turned red and he looked away from me.
"Yeah, she's quick on her feet, I'll give her that much," said this 'Kusanagi'.
I looked back at him as he stood upright with me. I crossed my arms and frowned at him.
"Who are you and what do you want?" I questioned in a wavering tone.
"Sorry if we gave you a scare. That aside, I'm Izumo Kusanagi, I'm a clansman of the Red clan and second in command."
I took a step back, "What do you want from me? I didn't do anything."
He blinked a few times before chuckling, "You thought you did something wrong? No, no. The person you saved a week ago is apart of our clan and we just wanted to thank you. Also..our King has been wanting to meet you."
"I-...Alright, I'll meet the Red King."
'Just to state a peace between us, so his clansmen can stop chasing me,' I thought.
~Tiny Time Skip~
The two known as Izumo Kusanagi and Misaki Yata led me to their 'base' as they spoke to each other. I walked behind them, not speaking.
'Kusanagi seems like a gentleman, yet Misaki seems...mean and like a hothead, but I'll assume he's bashful around girls. Oh, how adorable.'
Looking up, I saw a red building with the sign HOMRA above it, 'I see. The gang HOMRA is actually the Red Clan. If the Japanese government knew, they'd lose their minds...unless they already do..'
Kusanagi opened the door and let me in first as well as Misaki. Entering what I noticed is a mini bar, all chatter of whatever conversation stopped.
*Silence*
"Hey, it's you again! I see that you finally complied," the one known as 'Totsuka' said.
An irk mark formed and in my left cheek and I made a closed eyed smile as the right edge of my lips twitched, "I simply had no choice."
"You seem displeased," he kinda pointed out the obvious, "Anyway, I want to thank you for saving me...?"
I made a small smile, "Rena, and you're quite welcome."
"Rena? Is that a nickname?" Kusanagi questioned me.
I shook my head 'no', "It's my middle name. I like being called Rena. It's better than my first."
Seeing Anna, who held a red marble up to me, she put it down and slightly smiled at me.
"I think you have a pretty name. You also have a pretty red."
Though confusion was expressed on my face, I smiled at her anyway, "Thank you?"
"So...you're her?" a new voice spoke after walking down some steps in a hallway.
I looked to the owner of the voice, becoming serious due to the King-like aura surrounding him, despite his calm demeanor.
He has spiky red hair and goldish red eyes. He wore a black leather jacket, a white t-shirt, denim jean pants with a silver chain on the right pocket, and black boots.
"Yes, I am, and I will take it you're the Red King, Mikoto Suoh?"
He gave a hum in approval and pulled out a cigarette to light it up, which I secretly frowned at.
"And you?"
'Do I really have to give out my real name? I don't like it much, but it is unique and if it's to avoid trouble with the Red Clan...I simply have no other choice whatsoever.'
"I prefer to be called Rena; however, my full name is Eirin Rena Mifuyu, the..Purple Queen. It is nice to meet you. I complied with your clansmen because I have a request."
He didn't reply as he closed his eyes, but I noticed he lifted his right eyebrow, signaling me to go on.
"...I request that we make a peace treaty. I do not want trouble with you or any other Kings and clans."
*Silence*
"..I don't have a problem with it," he simply said.
I sighed in relief, "That's good to hear."
Approaching him, I looked up and grabbed the cigarette from between his lips with my right index finger and thumb, while frowning.
"Smoking this in front of a child is not safe and this is bad for you," I spoke my mind, then froze it with my aura and it shattered into small sparkles.
Turning around, I left out the quiet bar through the door.
"Aüf Wiedersehen."
(Annnd done! Well, it's the holiday season and I hope you have a wonderful 2017 Christmas and 2018 New Year's!)
