Kotori woke up early as usual and immediately went to her older brother's room to wake him up.
"Get up Shido! Today's your big trip and you don't want to keep Tohka waiting." Kotori said with her hands on her hips and a lolli pop in her mouth.
"Alright, alright I'm getting up." Shido said with a yawn, and then went to do his morning routine after showering, brushing his teeth, and getting dressed he went down stairs to find Tohka, Yoshinon and Yoshino there.
"So, what do you two want for breakfast?" Shido said putting his apron on and getting the pans, butter, eggs, bacon, bread, and pancake mix out of the refrigerator and pantry.
"I'll take eggs bacon and pancakes Shido!" Tohka said with drool dripping from her lip.
"And you Yoshino?" Shido said as he started the stove.
"Just what Tohka said." Yoshino said with a blush.
"Alright coming right up!" Shido said gathering the ingredients to make what they ordered. After making breakfast for them and extra plates for him and Kotori. Kotori took a while to get back down and when she came down, and sat next to Tohka, Tohka greeted Kotori with a smile.
"Hey Kotori…." Tohka said with a mischievous grin.
"Sigh* just leave me alone Tohka I'm not bothering you. "Kotori said not exactly sure what she was up to.
"Well why don't you get up and see." Tohka giggled. Kotori sighed and tried to get up but to no avail. Kotori just grumbled. Tohka just smiled holding up a bottle of glue.
"Are you serious you put glue on my chair!?" Kotori said livid.
"Have fun getting loose! Let's go Shido!"
"Alright let me get my bag." Shido said with a smile.
"Wait Shido you can't just leave me here." Kotori said distressed.
"Sorry, I don't have time Yoshino can help you I'm sure." Shido said before him and Tohka left. Leaving an angry Kotori and confused Yoshino.
"How exactly am I going to help?" Yoshino asked timid. Only receiving a sigh from Kotori.
"Why have you been doing that to Kotori lately anyways Tohka?" Shido said while they were on there way to school.
"I don't know it's mostly how Kotori reacts." Tohka said with a giggle.
"Well stop, it's funny but it's not very nice." Shido said playfully scolding
"Alright, Fiiiiine I will stop for you Shido." Tohka said fake pouting. Causing Shido to let out a small chuckle
"Alright good! Kotori will be happy to hear, that she won't have to check under every seat before sitting and check above every door entering a room." Shido laughed.
They eventually made there way to school and went to their class room.
"Hold on Shido I need to go to the bathroom." Tohka said in the door way of the class room.
"Alright." Shido said continuing into the classroom.
Great now I can talk to Origami without Tohka getting upset.
After spotting Origami sitting in her assigned seat, he made his way to her.
"Good morning Origami." Shido said standing in front of her.
"Oh, good morning Shido." Origami said in her same monotone voice looking straight up at him.
"I brought you some breakfast if you want it." Shido said with plastic rapped platter.
"NO!... I mean no thank you Shido." Origami said first distressed then back to monotone clearly changing emotions in only a matter of seconds.
"Is everything alright Origami?" Shido said concerned.
"Yes, everything's alright Shido, but thank you for your concern." Oriagmi said straightening herself and then looking out the window.
"Well, I just want to make sure you're feeling alright you have been sick lately." Shido said walking away. Origami continued to look out the window not acknowledging Shido.
"Origami?" Shido said walking closer. Still nothing.
"Hey Origami!" Shido said tapping her shoulder.
"Oh, Shido you're back I told you I already ate." Origami said now looking at Shido.
"Origami I've been calling for you I was saying you've been sick lately are you alright? You seemed like you couldn't even hear me." There for a second Shido could've swore he saw Origami twitch but then she resumed her stiff form.
"I'm sure I'm alright. Just a little tired." Origami said not taking her eyes of Shido or… even blinking for that matter.
Huh….. weird maybe she's just a little sick still or strung out or something. Shido then walked over to the trash can to throw away the platter. But then he noticed bloody tissues in the trash can, ordinarily he would have brushed it off as a few kids having nose bleeds, but there were probably 10 tissues there all containing the same quantity of thick red blood on them, and he remembered Origami had tissues by her desk. He then walked over and saw her drawing a tissue he noticed she put it in her pocket after using it for a little bit. Then made her way to the trash can, Shido then after she through it away went over to the trash can and saw the one on top of the pile was bloody. He then called for Origami.
"Origami can you come here?!" Shido yelled across the room, No response.
Shido tried again but still nothing he then tried a little experiment. He came behind her, without her seeing and said.
"Oh, Origami I know it's sudden but I love you I want to examine every inch of that young….. hard body….. you turn me on so much." Still nothing no response. But then he heard whispering.
"Is he trying to come on to the genius." AI said pointing a finger at Shido.
"Yeah and she's totally ignoring him." Mai said following Mia's lead
"That is so lame." Mii said following Mai.
Shido looked back embarrassed
"It's not what you think!" Shido said waving his arms, then the trio walked around and stood infront of Origami.
"Oh yeah well let's see what Origami thinks about you CONFESSING your love to her, when you're clearly in a relationship with Tohka."
"Wait what?!" Origami said shocked. Realizing the Trio's presence.
Tohka then at the worst time walked in and was wearing pants and an untucked shirt.
"Oh, Tohka it's terrible Shido said he wanted to sleep with Origami while you left." Ai said running up to Origami as the other two followed.
"He said you were dead to him." Mia said quickly replying
"he is so lame!" Mii said lastly.
"I didn't say anything like that." Shido said with a deep blush.
"Shido I trusted you, and this is what you do behind my back?!" Tohka said very angry.
"You should totally dump him, honestly he's not that cute he doesn't deserve either of you!" Ai said looking at Origami
"Yeah Origami I bet some stud who appreciates you would be more than happy to date you!" Mia said pointing a finger at Shido.
"That is so lame." Mii quickly followed.
"Shido what's the meaning of this!" Origami said standing up.
"Erm….. come with me I'll explain in the hall." Shido said pulling her by the hand. Into the hall.
"What's going on Shido I go to look out the window and next thing I know people are saying you're confessing your love to me." Origami was actually extremely happy and partially thought it was her fault because she knew she couldn't hear.
"Look Origami, I found bloody tissues in the trash can, and I did that experiment of "confessing my love" because I was yelling at you across the room and you wouldn't respond, so I wanted to see if you could hear. Origami somethings wrong."
"I'm perfectly fine Shido." Origami said resuming her monotone voice.
"Don't lie to me Origami!" Shido said gripping Origami's shoulders. Origami looked slightly afraid for only second then resumed her composer and replied.
"Fine Shido, I can't hear I've been reading lips the whole day, because there's too much fluid in my ear drums." Origami said still not showing emotion.
"Origami… You're still very sick, aren't you?" Shido said as statement rather than a question, releasing his grip from Origami.
"Yes, I've been taking these shots to avoid pain and pills to help me sleep stay awake, and I can't eat because if I do I'll vomit it up." Origami said showing him the medication in her purse.
"Origami you need to go home and rest." Shido said grabbing her shoulders once more.
"I probably should but you don't understand…." Origami said shaking Shido's grip. I can't tell Shido how severe it is, he's have a heart attack… well assuming I don't first. Origami thought with guilt.
"Listen children I know at this age it's easy to give into our hormones especially the sexual ones but…." Tamae Okamine Shido's teacher was behind them talking and shido immediately shot his head around.
Oh, kill me now… Shido thought with horror knowing what speech he was about to receive.
"Miss Okamine, I know what you have to say is important, but this is also very important you can't allow Origami to go on the school trip!" Shido said to the teacher with a slight blush.
"I know Shido it can be stressful and awkward when break ups happen, but everyone's invited on the school trip. "Miss Okamine said crossing her arms using a more stern voice (or atleast the best she could make of one)
"You don't understand she has a very serious illness. "Miss Okamine had already left before Shido could finish, brushing his excuse of as resentment.
Shido then turned around and spoke to Origami. "How severe is it? Be honest with me. " Shido said with deep concern.
"It's just a flu I'll make sure to stay away from you, so that you won't catch anything." Origami said keeping a serious composer.
"No don't I'll look after you on the trip alright? let's walk back into class separately people are already gossiping about us." Origami nodded, as Shido walked in he was greeted by a tall muscular man.
"So, Shido you and Origami were in the hall quite a long time. What were you two doing out there?" He asked standing too close for Shido's comfort.
"Oh, nothing the we were just chatting." Shido said with a nervous chuckle, the man then stepped on Shido's foot very hard.
Warrant a small scream from Shido. "Just watch your back Itsuka. That's john Ross he's been infatuated with Origami for years now, and he's definitely not above hurting someone because of his jealousy. Shido thought with a sigh.
Tohka meanwhile was trying to convince that she had swapped genders but Shido decided to put an end to it, then they bordered the plane Shido sat next to Origami since she was sitting alone, warranting a jealous Tohka and un enraged John.
"Hmp you like her better than me just admit it!" Tohka said sitting next to Shido while Miss Okamine was apologizing for the noize they were causing.
"Tohka, I don't it's just she is extremely sick, she's coughing up blood as a friend she needs me now." Shido whispered in Tohka's ears trying to hide his lips, Tohka's heart softened at this.
"She's in really bad shape?" Tohka asked looking at Origami with pity.
"Yes." Shido said matter of fact.
"Well, I guess it's okay then, I mean she is a friend and she doesn't really have anyone else to take care of her. " Tohka said hugging Shido. "You're just so nice." Tohka said softly.
"Thank you for understanding Tohka." As Shido said that he felt something on him, he looked over and found it was Orgami she was asleep.
"It'll be alright Origami." He said stroking Origami's hair, the trip was mostly quiet Tohka fell asleep, and Shido was about to sleep but then Shido awoke as Origami was in a coughing fit, coughing blood and getting all over Shido's pants.
"Origami! Shido said waking her up." Origami immediately gasped for air.
"We need to get a flight attendant or something. "Shido said nervously as he was about to call for help then Origami grabbed him and was smiling which was very odd for her to do.
"Shido…. It's over I'm just glad I got to spend these last days with you… I-I just hope you forgive me for all I've done but just know I l…." Origami stopped before finishing then slowly shut her eyes still smiling as blood ran from her mouth off her chin.
Shido then in a panic felt her pulse, she had no pulse and her body was growing colder, as if on impulse. Shido screamed.
"SOMEBODY HELP ORIGAMI'S NOT BREATHING!" His voice rang loud as a flight attendant immediately came and saw Origami and started checking her pulse.
"Quick get a defibrillator!" She gasped to the other flight attendant as she dragged her body into the aisle causing everyone to start looking and talking. Within seconds Origami's shirt was off and the other flight attendant came back with a defibrillator and said.
"Clear!" Before shocking Origami.
"No response!" The flight attendant said before shocking her again.
"She's gone…." The flight attendant said with tears in her eyes and silence took the room.
Until Shido came in as if out of nowhere and took a needle stabbing it in her chest twice taking off her bra.
Alright after the shot of adrenalin now give her CPR.
Shido then put his lips on her and started breathing into her, the flight attendant then felt her pulse.
"She's alive! We need to make an emergency landing." The flight attendant said before running to the cockpit.
"Passengers we will be doing an immediate landing, our landing should be in 5 minutes. " The captain said over the speaker another flight attendant came with a portable ventilator, and put it around Origami's head
Shido was heavy breathing next to Origami and then passed out from shock and lack of air.
In the hospital…..
Shido woke up, and saw a doctor who started after seeing Shido awake.
"Oh, you're awake son, you just had some intensive shock other than that you are healthy, no need to worry."
"What about Origami?" Shido asked immediately.
"Miss Tobichi is alive thanks to you, that was some smart thinking. But she has a very serious illness. "The doctor said writing something on his note pad.
"She said she had the flu.." Shido said seeming confused.
"She wishes she did she has developed, Hemoptysis. But in words you can understand she has an infection that's eating at her lungs. "
"Is there a cure?!" Shido said bewildered.
"Well usually it can be cured quite easily, but since she let it go on for so long, she will need emergency lung surgery." The doctor said somberly. " It's surprising she was even walking today, she was like a walking zombie, we did find class S, medication in her system, she was artificially extending her life she should have died much sooner."
"How long has she had this?" Shido said going pale. She was just at the hot springs yesterday. Shido said mortified.
"Not long, she also had sepsis, but that spreads very fast with this disease I tell you I don't know who gave her that medicine but it must have been strong if she was still walking, by the way we found this letter in her bag, it was made out to you why don't you read it son?" The doctor said handing him the unopened letter. Shido then read the letter.
Dear Shido…..
I know, I haven't been that pleasant these last few days, but it wasn't you….. I couldn't tell anyone the reason, I'm tired of living I've known about the illness you've no doubtable heard I hav at this point and had the choice to receive treatment but I denied it life is void of happiness for me, if you're reading this letter I just would like to tell you in some way I'm so happy to have spent the day at the hot springs and I'll spend some time with you on the trip I'm using Class S medication, I'm hoping we got to spend sometime on the plain together. However, I'm not sure how long I'll make it it's only a matter of time before my heart stops.
I do have something to say though Shido, I love you more than anything although my life was a waste I'm glad you brought some light into it, even if you didn't feel the same way toured me…. Never change Shido always be kind and accepting of people its your best quality. I only have one request…. Please burry me next to my parents.
Sincerely Origami.
Shido could see wet drops on the paper. And he made more as he wept on the paper, and then immediately ran in the hall to find the doctor.
"Where is Origami?! you need to bring me to her now!" Shido said grabbing the man by the shoulders.
"Calm down! Calm down! I'll bring you to her." Shido came with him shaking from nervousness. Eventually they came outside the room Origami was in and were looking through a large window.
"No one can go in there unless they have proper equipment she must be sterile." The doctor said looking on.
"Will she be alright?"
"I thought you knew….." The doctor said looking at Shido in surprise.
"Knew w-what?!" Shido said gripping the doctor. "Tell me!"
"She isn't going to make it she has a week at best." The doctor said taken back and a little afraid because Shido was gripping him.
"But you said it's lucky I came when I did!"
"Well yes….. that way you can at least say your goodbyes to her….. I thought for sure you knew, and I was trying to make the situation as optimistic as possible." The doctor said shaking not sure what Shido was going to do next.
Shido then dropped to his knees. The doctor put his hand on Shido's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, but… you can stay as long as you'd like." The doctor said somnley walking away from Shido. Shido then got up and began running ran out of the hospital, and just kept running not stopping for anything until his legs gave out somewhere in the woods, Shido just sat in pure shock. She's going to die… She's going to die…Shido's thoughts were then interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Hello there handsome, little late to be running in the forest." Shido looked up to see a black haired young woman with red eyes.
"Kurumi?!" Shido gasped.
"So, you do remember me? I'm blushing." Kurumi said with a seductive smile. Shido then got up and dropped to her feet.
"Please, you have to help me, please I'm begging you." Kurumi looked down at Shido who was on his face.
"Help with what… have a lolli pop in your pocket you need me to suck?" Kurumi giggled.
"Origami's dying there's no cure she has maybe a week, please you can travel in time can't you do anything!?" Shido gasped kissing Kurumi's feet.
"Oh that white haired AST girl, why help that whore she seems like she wants to die….. I'm probably doing her a favor leaving her alone." Kurumi said with a laugh.
"Please, please." Shido murmured over and over again, still on his face groveling.
Kurumi's heart was moved by him. "Well I can't help you I don't have the ability at the moment to travel in time, in fact I followed you to devour you and gain the power.
"Then do it!" Shido practically yelled getting up.
"Devour me, but please just save Origami!" Kurumi's heart was moved again.
"No… there is another way." Kurumi said holding Shido's hand. Shido raised an eye brow.
"There is a spirit….. her names Mariah… Who's angel can heal any disease or wound even bring the dead back…. I can take you to her."
"Take me to her please!" Shido said once again falling on his face. "Please…" He murmured.
"It's very dangerous Shido… Mariah doesn't do anything for free…. She will torture you and put you through hell Shido." Shido then got up.
"I don't care life will be hell if Origami dies." Shido said with a serious face with tears in his eyes.
"You really care about Origami, don't you? I'm little jealous. Maybe I'll have second thoughts." Kurumi said with a pout.
Shido went pale when she said that. "I'm kidding darling, but I don't do anything for free." Kurumi said licking her lips.
"What-what do you have in mind." Shido said as Kurumi came up and started licking his cheek.
"I will help you, but after words I want to devour you." Kurumi said licking him more.
"D-deal." Shido chocked in desperation.
"But first I need some… insurance." Kurumi said pulling out a knife.
"Like what?" Shido said with a cold sweat.
"Well, I really like that cheek." Screams could be heard in the woods as the skin on Shido's left cheek was cut off by Kurumi.
Kurumi then started eating Shido's cheek flesh. "Mmmm tastes sweat…" Kurumi said with a moan. Shido was left holding his town skin.
"Alright let's go." Kurumi said taking Shido by the arm. Kurumi then shot her pistol in the air causing them both the accelerate to a large castle in a matter of minutes.
"Alright, darling we're here." She said as Shido got down and started vomiting.
"Oh, baby did we go to fast?" Kurumi said with a seductive smile.
"I'm fine let's go." Shido gasped getting up, and they both made there way to the gate.
"What brings you here." A giant man with a raspy voice, blue skin and 8 eye balls (similar to a spider) said as he towered over them 12 feet high. Shido was shaking in fear but Kurumi didn't even blink at him.
"Oh darling, you don't remember me? Well tell your mistress Kurumi is here to see her for a little catching up…." Kurumi said very seductively rubbing her finger on the mans chest.
"Alright….. I'll ring her up." He said before pressing a button.
"Yes Bruno?' A feminine voice could be heard.
"Kurumi said she's here to see you."
"Excellent send her up!" the voice said clearly excited.
"Right this way." The guard said opening the gate. The two went through and opened the large doors of the palace. And as they entered they were in a finely lit and ivory decorated ballroom. Kurumi and Shido were then greeted by a spirit with silver hair and blue eyes.
"Kurumi, she looks just like Origami!" Shido said aghast.
"No, she doesn't, Mariah looks like whoever you are currently in love with or think about the most., but I can see through it." Kurumi said brushing her hair aside revealing her right eye with a golden clock in it.
"Why spoil it for everyone Kurumi?" Mariah said pouting.
"But to what do I owe this rare pleasure." Mariah said just as seductive as Kurumi causing Shido to blush.
"This young man, his name is Shido, he needs you to heal his lover." Shido was about to speak but Kurumi covered his mouth.
" I see medical treatment, my services aren't free though darling." Mariah said directing her attention toured Shido. Shido then dropped to his knees.
"I'll do anything I need to save Origami." The spirit just smiled.
"Oh, I love it when they grovel. You will have to survive the tank if you want my services….." The spirit said with an evil grin.
"The tank that's abnormally cruel of you." Kurumi said putting her hand on her chin.
"What's the tank?' Shido asked concerned.
" You will be put in a tank for 3 days with no food or water, with 12 other people, who ever survives get's what they asked of me, the tank is full of monsters spirits poisonous bugs and plants, and ofcourse people such as yourself seeking my help, but makes things more tough because the only food or water down there is the human flesh of the people you slaughter." Mariah said licking her lips.
"Ofcouse for someone as handsome as you, some other…. Arrangement could be made." Mariah said touching Shido's butt, causing Shido to jump back.
"I'll-I'll do the tank." Shido said with a blush.
"Aww too innocent." Mariah said sticking her bottom lip out.
"Sure, you still want to do it hon? And not my offer?" Mariah said with a wink, Shido gulped.
"Yes…"
"Alright you have…. no time to get ready I wish you the best of luck we begin in 5 minutes." The spirit said closing her eyes with a smile and blowing Shido a kiss.
Shido just gulped "Well I better get going."
"Wait Shido." Kurumi said grabbing his arm.
"Yes?" Shido said confused.
"Here take this." Kurumi said handing Shido her pistol.
"Trust me that will protect you." Kurumi said with concern on her face.
"I won't kill people…. I'm just going to try to survive." Shido said with a soft smile.
"Shido please… I don't want you to die take the gun."
"I would rather have my life taken then to take someone else's" Shido said pushing the gun back, just then a little man showed up.
"I am here to escort you, to the tank." The midget said as he turned around and began leading the way, Shido followed after.
"Alright, but please don't get yourself killed." Kurumi said as Shido went with an escort.
"Don't worry about me!" Shido waved as he and the escort went to a tiny blank room.
"You will be teleported through here, this is your last chance to turn back." The small man warned.
"I'm going."
"Alright in 1,2,3" As soon as the man said 3, Shido was no longer in the room, but by a river. And it was sunshine despite it being dark there.
"No water?" Shido questioned as he went to scoop up some water but as he did a large fish jumped up and almost bit his hand off.
"Okay… now I see why no water." Shido said holding his hand, as he walked along he.
Alright all I need to do now is hide, I should be able to climb some tree or something.
Shido then found a very tall tree and climbed to the very top over the course of an hour.
Well it was hard work but if I can stay up here two days, I can heal Origami and everything will be fine… well Kurumi will devour me but at least I'll be able to see her healthy face one more time.
Shido thought as he reclined on a branch.
Meanwhile…..
"Oh that's no fun.." Mariah said pouting with Kurumi in a room watching all the contestants through a screen. "He's not even trying to fight, well Kurumi how shall we punish him for not being a good sport." Mariah said with a sadistic grin.
"Maybe we should focus on another contestant." Kurumi suggested softly.
"Nah I wanna focus on him." Mariah said more energetic.
"C'mon Mariah he's been through enough don't you think…." Kurumi said with a chuckle trying to sound inconspicuous.
"Awwww old Kurumi has a little crushy wushi it makes me just want to pinch… his little head off." Mariah said before pressing a button.
"What did you do?!" Kurumi shrieked.
"Oh, nothing just set the tree on fire, but I need to take care of him… it's making you soft." Mariah said sitting back on the couch.
"No, It's not like that! I want to devour him! That's it!" Kurumi said boiling over with anger.
"Oh, since when did you care so much about your food?" Mariah said with her hands together and winking.
"I-I need a drink." Kurumi said leaving the room feeling defeated.
Hmph and I here I thought I was soft, guess Kurumi's lost her touch well… I can fix that. Mariah thought with her eyes fixated on the screen.
Meanwhile…..
Shido was awoken by the smell of smoke and before he could think he fell out of the tree and landed on his knees Shido cried out in pain.
"Oh-oh no there's fire everyone knows where I am now and….. I can't walk." Shido said to himself as he fell on his face Sure my knees will heal, but if they eat me there'll be nothing left to heal Shido thought in horror, and as he did he heard footsteps, to find a large man wearing tattered jeans a leather jacket and no shirt with tattoos covering his body.
"Well, well, what have we here? I suggest you get up and run, because it'll ,make thing more interesting when I hunt you and eat you, and then rape your dead corpse." The man's accent was that of the united kingdom, and it was as rasp as a smokers. He then waited waited a minute then started more unnerved.
"Why aren't you running?! RUN! Did you think I was joking!?" The man said now enraged.
"N-no s-sir, M-my legs are broken." Shido said stiff with fear.
"Well such a shame no chase, I guess." As he picked up his club and Shido braced to be beaten but as he opened his eyes he found the man missed.
"Actually, you may be of use to me beef roast." The man said with a grin.
"How-how so?" Shido said with a stutter.
"Bait and switch you are well thin…. And a crippled people see you they think an easy kill that's when I come in and kill them since they aren't expecting it, so deal kid? You live, and I get to kill much easier" The man said with a chuckle.
I guess I have no other options….
"I agree Mr.?" Shido said sticking his hand out.
"Bobo's the name, c'mon let's move!" Bobo said grabbing Shido by the arm and slinging him over his shoulder.
"So out of curiosity why are you in this competition?" Shido said as the man was running through the forest with Shido on his shoulder.
"I want Mariah to take the part out of my head that makes me feel guilt when I kill people." Bobo said still running.
I'm going to die…. Shido thought with fear.
Then bobo stopped.
"Alright kid I'm going to start this fire and I'm gana sit you down here and if anyone comes just act like you're petrified with fear."
"I already AM." Shido said with a cold sweat.
"Perfect!" Bobo said sounding excited.
Bobo then started the fire and hid in a bush before long, a group of four came.
"Oh, lookie lookie we found a cookie. " The tallest one sang.
"Please, don't kill me I'm begging you." Shido gasped.
"We won't kill you first we're going to have fun with you after all, I like my dinner tender, so we'll club you for a while then finish you off." The leader said with a grin as the group laughed as they crossed the fire, Bobo came out and shoved one into the fire through a rock at the other and cut the 3rd ones stomach open in only a few seconds with his hunters knife. The last one although big paled in size to bobo and Bobo laughed.
"Well kid….. let's get this over with." Bobo yawned before he could do anything the young man cook his own knife and slit his own throat.
"Shido just looked on with horror." Not sure what he just witnessed and on the verge of vomiting.
"Good work kid, here I'll make us dinner." Bobo then in front of a speechless Shido, gutted 2 of the humans and began roasting it over a fire.
"Want some kid?" Bobo said sticking a piece of roasted flesh infront of Shido.
"No-no thank you." Shido gagged.
"More for me." Bobo shrugged eating more of the roasted flesh.
Meanwhile…..
"He teamed up with that gorilla!?" Mariah said throwing a wine glass at the TV.
Kurumi was sitting in her chair laughing.
"You think this is funny!?" Mariah said staring at Kurumi twitching her eye.
"It's amusing." Kurumi giggled.
"Oh ha-ha how amusing is this?!"
Meanwhile…
Shido was up and walking. Kicking his feet.
"How are you walking meat?" Bobo said with food in his mouth.
"Oh, my injuries heal extremely quick even fatal ones, unless it's too overwhelming." Shido said walking around.
"You never mentioned that. Hmm this opens the door to new ideas."
"Such as?" Shido said sounding nervous.
"I could put you up as a scarecrow and-" But before Bobo could finish a glowing light came in destroying the trees.
"I want you Shido Itsuka!" The spirit said flying with a large ax. "Leave him and I'll spare you!" The mysterious pirit said poiting it's ax at Shido, Bobo then without another word ran out of there. Shido was paralyzed in fear.
I most likely can't survive a spiritual attack. Shido gulped.
Meanwhile…
"Now finish him!" Mariah said to the spirit.
"That's cheating Mariah." Kurumi said standing up.
"Whatever! If he can defeat her I'll grant any wish he wants, fair is fair!" Mariah shrieked.
"First I want to have fun with him!" The spirit said through the microphone.
"Fine! Just make sure he's dead! it's so hard to find good help these days!" She said throwing a wine bottle at the tv. And breaking one of the screens.
I hate when she get's like this…. Kurumi thought rolling her eyes.
Meanwhile…
"So human." The spirit said walking to him with a smile.
"W-what?" Shido said shaking.
"aww how cute you're so nervous." She said inching closer to his face. And then removing his clothes.
"What are you doing to me!" Shido shrieked.
"I'm going to tie you up, since you're such a….. big….. strong….. man." The spirit said with a seductive voice. "And if you break out I'll give you a big… juicy surprise, but if you fail after 10 minutes you'll get a punishment." She whispered in his ears.
She then proceeded to tie her up in tight bonded ropes.
Shido was struggling to get out but to no avail.
"Oh, times up, you've been a bad boy I'm gana shove this stick in…" The spirit winking looking down at Shido's crotch.
Shido then babbled incoherently in fear as she approached closer trying harder than ever to escape to still to no avail, then she stopped. When Shido looked she had two knifes in her stomach.
"I wasn't going to abandon you kid." Bobo said before taking a large hammer and repeatably beating the spirit until she was unrecognizable.
"Alright let's get you untied and please….. when I do put some clothes." Bobo said trying not look at Shido's crotch.
"You got it….. but please be careful with that knife?' Shido said with a sweat before long Shido was untied and putting his clothes on.
Meanwhile…..
"Well Mariah teleport them back a deals a deal." Kurumi said crossing her arms.
"But he didn't stop her that's… Oh no fair!" Mariah said crossing her arms and sitting.
"Mariah you have to do it, you know your rule." Kurumi said looking at Mariah with a serious face.
"Fine!" Mariah said pressing a button.
"Let's go meet our "winners" " Mariah said as Kurumi followed her to another room not far from there current room where Shido and Bobo teleported to.
"Alright Shido, here's your reward this medicine should heal any illness no matter how severe." Mariah yawned. "Now get out!" Shido and Kurumi then hurried out without another word.
"As for you bobo for winning…" Mariah said with a smile, then stabbed bobo. "You ruined everything i-"Before Mariah could finish a cloud of smoke appeared.
"A shadow clone but only one person can…. KURUMI!" Mariah said levitating and destroying the walls of the room.
"Uh oh…." Kurumi said as her and Shido were at the gates of the palace. " Well Shido, we almost made it." Kurumi said then pulling out her pistol.
"Is this really a fight you want to fight? I can loose 10,000 times and still win, you can only loose once." Kurumi said with a smile.
" This tournament was sacred only the best of the best got what they asked for, but you-you thought it'd be fun to toy with it and strut around like you own the place." Mariah said with a wide smile and twitching her eye.
"Uh kurumi I think she's losing it…" Shido said staring at the celestial being.
"I can defeat her but I have to say She's second to me, you go ahead on home, here use this communicator to get teleported to the space pod then back to Origami based on my 5th bullet Hei Origami has 1 hour so hurry up!" Kurumi said handing him the communicator and flying up to fight Mariah.
"Kotori! Teleport me up!"
"Where have you been do you know how worried I've bee-" She was then cut off by Shido.
"Kotori I am going to die teleport me!" Shido said then was teleported next to Kotori.
"Man, what happened to you shido you're filthy." Kotori said looking at Shido with a lolli pop in her mouth.
"I went to Mariah and-" Kotori cut him off screaming.
"Mariah!? Do you have any idea how dangerous she is why would you see her!?" Kotori said with her cheeks pink from anger.
"To get a cure for Origami, because she has a fatal disease." Shido said to Kotori.
"How did you even get there?" Kotori asked surprised.
"Kurumi…" Shido said with a little guilt.
"Are you crazy? What if she tried to devour you?" Kotori gasped.
"Kotori, I need to talk to you about that, I promised her she could devour me so long as… she saved Origami. " Shido said with a sigh.
"You did what!" Kotori said jumping down from her captains seat.
"I'm sorry…. It was my only choice.." Shido said holding his left arm.
"You jerk!" Kotori said punching Shido and running out of the room with tears in her eyes.
"Shido I can teleport you down now, you can comfort Kotori later for now Oriagmi is more urgent." Reine said coming up to Shido,
"You're right it is more urgent…. But please teleport me up as soon as I give her the cure, I need to talk to Kotori.
"Alright, teleport him down!" Reine said as Shido soon disappeared from the room.
Shido then appeared in the same room as Origami, where she had a ventilator a screen showing only a steady heart beat and chords running all through out her .
"Alright Origami drink up." Shido said softly pouring the drink in her mouth after removing the mask, Immediately Origami woke up, as she did Shido was immediately teleported back up.
And found Origami teleported with him.
And when her eyes adjusted they went wide.
"why did you bring me here Shido?" Origami said visibly petrified.
"I'm sorry I must have not let go of your hand in time…." Shido said still holding Origami's hand.
Meanwhile…
Mariah was beating Kurumi's shield with a sword.
"How could you do this, I told you not EVER interfere and now you ruined it! you made me a laughing stock!" Mariah said with insane laughter.
"You tried to kill Shido!" Kurumi said shooting her pistol causing Mariah to losing her sword. Just then the AST started showing up hovering hundreds of feet above them.
"Also, Mariah we are causing a scene…" Kurumi said now noticing the AST around her.
Sargent Mana asking permission to shoot...
Permission granted… the dispatcher said giving permission.
"I'll see you around Mariah let's do this again sometime." Kurumi laughed before teleporting away, right as she did the blasts from Mana hit Mariah disabling her Shield and causing her to fall to the ground and then Mana and her backs ups all surrounded Mariah.
"Well Mariah we've been waiting a long time for you to reveal yourself, I'm glad you finally did, but now its end of the line." Mana said pointing her blast gun at Mariah.
"1,2,3 Fire!" Mariah as they all began shooting until mana was nothing anymore.
"Good work girls let's head on back." Mana said flying up as the other AST followed her.
"Then Mariah gasped for air coming up from the dirt as soon the AST left.
"I'm glad that clone fooled them….. Everything's ruined… I swear on my life as long as I live I will make you pay Shido Itsuka!" Mariah screamed raising her fist as the sky as she observed her destroyed palace.
