Yuu pov

"Shinoa, why are we up so early?." I ask while trying to hold back a yawn. I just got out from the hospital, and when I thought I could get a long good night sleep in my own bed. Shinoa wakes me up super early next morning and told me that Sakura wants us at the training arena.

Shinoa glanced at me while the others were walking behind us quietly.

" Guren told me that Lieutenant General Sakura wants us in the training arena early in the morning."

I signed and crossed my arms. "Lieutenant General Sakura, it suite her."

" Yeah, but it's sad that she was forced to that position."

I nodded in agreement, I remember when she told us that she didn't want to be part of the Hiragi family. Because how everybody in the Hiragi army was viewing her as an enemy, even if she was the most important fighter in the whole army. I sigh and wonder how Sakura was feeling about this marriage to that idiot Kureto. I only meet him once, while I was still in the hospital. Just meeting him that one time made me hate him almost as much as I hate the vampires, besides Mika. He looked down on everybody, even looking down on the people in his army. He talked like he was the most important person of mankind, and saw everybody else as low-level humans. It reminded me so much of the time when I was in the vampire city when my whole family was still alive. The vampire looking down on us, and saw us as weak humans that couldn't do anything.

I sigh and turned to Shinoa. " Shinoa, you are part of the Hiragi family, right?."

She stops walking and glared at me darkly. " I may have the Hiragi name, but the Hiragi family don't want anything to do with me." She looked away and sigh. " Am actually glad that they don't want anything to do with me because I don't want anything to do with them either. But am sad that Sakura was forced to be part of the Hiragi family, I just wish I knew a way to help her." She shook her head and was back with her famous smile like she always had.

" We better hurry, we can't let her wait for us."

We all nodded and walked a little faster till we stood in front of a big door to an abandoned soccer arena, that was cover in the dirt and didn't look like anybody have been there for many many years. there was a small screen beside the door that glowed dark red.

Shino walked over to the screen and the screen turned from red to blue.

"Name?."

Shino took a deep breath. " Shino Hiragi."

The screen turned white and a long list of name appeared, and the next second a picture of Shinoa appeared.

" You are allowed to enter." Said the screen before it turned green, and the big door begins to open and showed a dark corridor leading deep into the building.

I turned to Shinoa who walked over to us. " Who is on that list?."

She giggled and begin to walk into the building. " Not you."

" What?!. Why?."

She didn't answer.

" Hey, answer me!." I ran after her while the other just shook their heads.

" Because you are still just a newbie." Said Mitsuba who walked behind me.

" What did you say?!." I said angrily and was ready to pull out my sword.

Her face becomes harder. " You heard me!."

" Guys calm down," said Yoichi with a calm voice while standing between us.

" Move Yoichi, I show her that am not a newbie!."

"Ha!, I have been out in the field longer than you, and I can easily defeat you!." She smirked at me and took out her cursed gear and pointed it at me.

I growled at her and pulled out my sword and was ready to attack her.

" Stop!." The whole corridor begins to shake violently, and me and everybody else lost our balance and fell down to the ground. We all looked up in surprise and saw Sakura at the end of the corridor and she didn't look happy, while a very dark feeling was in the air. She was dressed in a different uniform, it looked the same as the first one she had, but instead of black and green, she now was wearing a black and red uniform. And this time she didn't have the hood up to cover her ear, she actually had it down this time, and her fox ears pointing out.

Shinoa was the first one up on her feet and bowed to Sakura. " General Lieutenant Sakura, sorry for making you waiting."

Sakura glanced at Shinoa, and sigh. The dark feeling was suddenly gone like it never was there, while Sakura smiled at us.

" You don't have to call me by that title, just call me Sakura."

Mitsuba stood up. " We cant do that, we have to call you after that title to show you our respect."

Sakura waved her hand in the air like she tried to push away a fly from her face.

" I don't care, your sister maybe wants to be called by her title and feel important. But am not her." She walked over to Mitsuba and put a hand on Mitsubas head and messed up her hair. Mistubas stared at Sakura in surprise while her face turned deep red. " W..What.."

Sakura tilted her head to the side. " I know that your sister chose the Hiragi family over you, but you don't have to act tough around me. See me as a big sister."

Mitsuba stared up at Sakura for a second before looking down at the floor, while tears were running down her face. I don't know her relationship with her big sister, but when I saw them in the same room, her sister didn't even look at her or even show that she wanted anything to do with Mitsuba.

Sakura wrapped her arms around Mitsuba and hugged her.

Mitsuabs rubbed her eyes. " Sorry."

" Its okay to cry, you need to let it out. If you keep it in it will only hurt more." Sakura let go of Mitsuba and smiled. " For now on, call me big sister. and if your sister says anything about it just ignore her."

A smile appeared on Mitsuba's face before she nodded.

" Can I call you big sister too?." Asked Shinoa and stared at Sakura with big eyes.

Sakura nodded. " Of course, you can all call me big sister if you want. Its better than that stupid title." She clapped her hands together. " Come on let's go to the arena." And she turned around and begin to walk.

We all begin to follow her, and after a while, a bright light appeared at the end of the corridor and then we stood in the middle of a soccer field. The whole place looked abandoned, all the seats where the audience sits to watch the game was covered in dirt. And the fake grass in the middle of the building was filled with burn marks and holes. I couldn't help to look around and was impressed by how big it was.

" Wow, it's big."

Sakura giggled and walked to the middle of the soccer field and turned to us.

" Welcome to the demon army training arena. " Her face became serious. " Tell me what did you all think of your last mission?."

Me and the other looked at each other with wide eyes before looking back at Sakura, but we didn't say anything.

Sakura sigh and looked really disappointed. " Let me tell you all what I thought, it was the worst. I don't even know why Guren let you all out in the field in the first place. His report that he sent to me about you didn't match what I saw out in the field." her eyes turned to me, and it felt like I was scolded for something I did. " Your fighting skill is bad, and you don't use your brains at all. Which is really disappointing, when you all have really strong weapons."

I glanced at the others and saw the other was looking at the ground and looked really down.

I glared at Sakura. " We did great on that mission."

" Really?. " she begins to walk to me. " Because I saw the vampires didn't use their full power on you, they played with you. " She stops in front of me and her yellow eyes glared at me darkly. " Am going to train you all, and just so you know am not nice like Guren."

I gulped loudly and felt my whole body shake in fear, while she backed away from me. And then she smiled and clapped her hands. " Now, I want you all to fight me. "

We all looked up at her in surprise, and I got more nervous. I remember how she thought Ferid and Crowley just by herself. And me and the other couldn't even kill one of the weaker vampires together during that mission. I know that we had no chance to defeat Sakura.

She tilted her head to the side. " Just see it as an exercise."

We all looked at each other and slowly pulled out our cursed gears.

Shinoa pointed her weapon at Sakura, who had a small smirk on her face.

"Let's show her how good we are."

Crowley pov

I stared at the wine glass in my hand that was filled with fresh deep red blood, but for some reason, I was not tempted to drink it. Maybe because I was thinking about that interesting girl Sakura. Just something about her sparked an unfamiliar interest I never had before. I want to see her again, and I hope I will soon.
