Byakko Monogatari

[Byakko] Chapter 06

Bad Intention

[Previously on Byakko Monogatari

"Eh~ interesting Celestial warriors~" Allen and Xiu flinches after hearing the familiar playful voice of their enemy.

Chiharu suddenly felt a gust of wind behind her and when all four of them lay their eyes on the source they found Lavi behind the young lady.

Without second wasted Lavi summoned his elemental seals and hit the fire emblem creating fire snake that attacks the three warriors.

Lavi on the other hand quickly grab Chiharu on her waist and get out.

When the fire disperses Xiu's man-eating plant, different from the first one, has place on the celestial warriors previous position and the said people were nowhere in sight.

[Inside the Book]

[—Ruika Village—]

The man-eating plant opens its huge mouth revealing Xiu with his mark shining on his forehead, Allen on his white cowl with his hood on his head and Kanda.

"Wooh! That was close!" Allen states in relief as he and the others gets out from the mouth of Xiu's other pet.

Kanda stares at the man-eating plant that just protected them from Lavi's attack and sigh after some seconds. For the first time to his life he was thankful to a man-eating plant, though, he would never say it, especially in front of a certain beansprout and its owner.

He cannot die with such a lame death; well, not that he's gonna die, anyhow.

"Thanks Zomb!" Xiu thanked as he gently caress the top of his plant that just leaned down to him, before it went back to its seed that on Xiu's hand.

"Now then where Lavi could bring Chiharu?" Allen question to no one, since none of them three knows where that redhead could bring their friend.

"Aren't you two were so overprotective on that girl?" Kanda finally stated what he has been observed. Xiu and Allen lay their eyes on him in confusion, "She's just not a friend of yours isn't she?"

"I thought you were a total dumb." Allen stated, ignoring Kanda.

Since Kanda is actually thankful to that plant that owned by Xiu, he just let Allen go for once and instead he just let out an irritated 'tch'.

"Chiharu is…" Xiu started as he gets near at Kanda to whisper the answer he wanted to own. "the chosen girl of Byakko, but—" Xiu's face saddened as he remember the time that Chiharu gave her decision over the matter "she rejected the role."

"Hmp, then that means she just nothing now. Why you two keep protecting her?"

Xiu and Allen smiles as they have only one answer for their actions towards the young lady from another world.

"Because Byakko summoned her for us." Xiu stated, clear and gentle. "No matter what her decision, as long as she's here we will protect her from anyone and anything."

"And with that, we should look for her now." Allen said as he run away from the two, deciding to start the search for their lady.

Xiu smirk before running to opposite direction, Kanda sighs while deciding to walk.

Chiharu has her eyes wide open in shock as Lavi's lips makes a contact on her own. She tries to resist but the grip of Lavi's hands on her waist and snaking behind her were strong enough to halt her.

Her free hands were keep pulling his clothes in hope to pull him as well but with no avail; he just to stronger.

The kiss didn't stop there, Lavi held Chiharu's nape which make her gasp in shiver, the red head takes this opportunity to enter his tongue in her mouth.

He swirl his tongue inside her mouth, tasting her on the process.

Despite doing such an indecent thing, Lavi's doesn't have any feelings for the girl, he just executing the order that gave to him.

His one visible eye was kept open as he ravishing the other's mouth without her permission. He clearly sees her tears that forming in her eyes as she giving all of her strength to get away, which turns out nothing to him.

He felt sorry for her; after all it's not her choice to get in this mess up country, where her life is in danger.

The indecent kiss only stops when they fell on the bed that in the middle of the room they are in. Chiharu pants hard as she trying to regain her normal breathing, while Lavi is staring at her wellbeing.

If ever they meet in different circumstances he might fall on her charms; but unfortunately, this is their fate that written in their palms.

Without forgetting the orders to him, he pins Chiharu's wrist together by just his one hand as the other hand has started to untie her brown cowl, while the said girl is still defying and rejecting him.

"If I were you I would stop fighting—"

"Why would I?! You were going to rape me!"

Lavi smile playfully down to her and nodded.

"Yea, that's right!" he merrily answered; as he forcedly opens her top clothes revealing her white fair skin

"STOP IT!" she begs, her tears has already falls down to her cheeks.

"Would you stop," Lavi plead with disappointed face though he still have mirth smile decorating his face. "I'm doing you a favour you know!"

"Fa-favor?"

"Right," Lavi nodded "You know if you no longer a virgin, then there's no reason for you to become a priestess anymore. You will no longer qualify to summon Byakko, and maybe Byakko would throw you back to your world. Isn't nice?"

Chiharu halted suddenly; right, according to the story of Universe of the Four Gods, the chosen girl must be a virgin in order to summon one of the Sovereigns.

But, for summoning Byakko or not Chiharu doesn't want to lose her chastity over rape! At least let her choose who it will be!

For her whole life she let other people chooses the path for her.

Her stepfather forced her to get into a school she doesn't want to be in.

Her mother arranges several marriages for her.

Then goes saying she should become an elegant lady, that she must have high grades, that she should become popular in her school, that she must do anything. They even force her to learn something she can't. Her mother even go far by saying Chiharu should seduce her stepbrother instead, saying it's legal since they are not siblings in blood.

And now even here?!

Even here, there are still people whom would tell her of what she must do?!

Saying its for her own good?!

That she MUST lose her important self just to satisfy them?!

If she didn't, she is nothing but a trash?!

Oh how her life is full of mess up!

No, no, no, NO!

"I don't want it!"

With resentment on herself and her current situation, her two fingers alloy rings that she wearing shines brightly with green color, as if Byakko answers her.

The light blinds Lavi that he covers his only visible eye with his hand; this gesture become chance for Chiharu who quickly push the redhead out her top and without second she quickly run out the room while the light is slowly fading.

Chiharu runs down the stairs of that place while thinking that she must find Xiu and Allen but that thought cut off as soon as she get out from the inn where Lavi brought her.

'Wait, why I must find them?' she question herself, 'Aren't I rejected the idea to become their priestess?' she hold her hands together and close it on her chest as she trembling in fear and doubt on herself 'I—I shouldn't depend on them! I…' tears has begun to fall down from her eyes, 'I don't have any rights to be protected by them…'

"Oi!" A familiar manly, yet cold voice rung to her ears that made her flinch, "So you've just been here!" Kanda continued as he walking towards Chiharu whom just standing there, tearful eyes locks on him.

She shouldn't depend on them, she shouldn't expect them to protect her… and yet why is she so happy to see Kanda who is a Celestial Warrior of the Sovereign she just rejected?

"Those two has—" Kanda got cut off when all of the sudden Chiharu embrace him tightly as if her life is depends on him. In shock Kanda couldn't do anything but letting her.

Lavi who make a contact on the stone wall caress the lump on his back head while blinking his eye to ease his blur vision. For goodness sake! He only has one eye and now it is going to get blur!

Lavi muttered a 'tch' when he realized that the girl that he supposed to rape has escape on his grasp.

He stands up and went to the nearest window of that room and from there he saw Chiharu embracing the newly discovered warrior. Once again he muttered a 'tch' before crashing the window and get out from there, landing swiftly in front of the two.

As soon as Lavi stood up Allen came from above and used his claw on the redhead who tries to block it with his hammer but Allen, with his anger for Lavi, has defeated his weapon's defence, making his enemy fly on the other side of the road.

"Why is as time passes the Celestial Warriors of Byakko is getting stronger?!" Lavi whined as he caresses his new lump on his head.

Allen's silver orbs then landed on Kanda with Chiharu who still hugging him without noticing the other's presence.

"Kanda what's happening here?" Allen asked, eyes narrowed "Why Chiharu is hugging you?"

"As if I know, Idiot Moyashi!" Kanda retorted,

"The name's Allen, Bakanda!"

"Who cares stupid Moyashi!"

And their quarrel goes on while Lavi witnessing the verbal fight between the two he have sweat drop on his head, wondering if the two are really both Celestial Warriors of the same Sovereign.

While the two is bickering and Lavi finding it amusing just like a certain ravenet, Xiu, 'that certain ravenet' came running towards them from behind the beautiful man.

"K-Kanda?" Xiu got confused on Kanda as he remembers what the man has said on them just a while ago. Oh how amusing to see how contradicts his words earlier to his situation now. "Chiharu?" Xiu went more confuse after noticing how cling she is to the long hair sword user that she feared a while ago.

Xiu touches Chiharu's arm and calling her name with his ever so gentle voice.

Hearing Xiu's voice Chiharu lifted her head and gaze on his feature,

She shouldn't depend on them, she shouldn't expect them to comfort her and yet happiness arose on her heart. Why she so happy to see them, when she shouldn't?

Chiharu immediately, without thinking switch from Kanda to Xiu.

Xiu who welcome Chiharu on his arms and hugs her back, noticed her clothing, aside to the fact the Chiharu no longer has her brown cowl, her top clothe is opens with broken ties.

Xiu leaned on Chiharu and start whispering his ideas.

They talk in whispers that the three warriors couldn't catch on, which confused Allen and Kanda. But

Lavi has an idea on it; after all he is the one at fault.

Lavi suddenly felt a chill down his spine when they all witnessing Xiu being coated in green light while summoning his rose vines with sharp thorns and his honey color eyes held boiling anger towards the redhead.

Sweat drop appeared on Lavi's cheek while he gulped down the saliva on his throat,

'This is bad! This is bad! This is bad!' he repeated on his mind like a mantra.

Seeing the overwhelming celestial power coming from the ravenet who rarely found in bad mood, Lavi summoned his elemental seals thinking what he should use to fight against Xiu.

'I cannot use the Fire Seal, since for some reason Xiu's plants gets more aggressive when they are in fire.' Lavi sum up, as he remembers his past together with the ravenet warrior. 'This is so bad!'

'Xiu is a Celestial Warrior who is also a former general and I'm just a Bookman for goodness sake!'

"Don't move Lavi~" Xiu's tone weren't gentle or calm like the usual; his tone now is full of anger and bloodlust. "You know what would happen if you do, right~"

Oh how much Lavi knows about it!

"I'll make it quick as I can!"

'No, you wouldn't!' Lavi thought; he knows Xiu's side as a sadist being. 'Okay,' Lavi stare at his seals trying to figuring out what he should use.

While Lavi is having a mental panic which is not fitted for a Bookman, Xiu commands his vines to stab their prey but a checker door appeared behind the redhead bookman though this sudden appearance didn't make Xiu to stop his attack.

As Xiu's vines coming forwards a pair of ashen grey color hands came out from the now open door that showing nothing but void space beyond. As quickly as the vines stabs Lavi on his stomach causing him to throw blood out his mouth the hands with arms hugs the redhead and take him in, cutting the vines as the door closes.

"Road huh…" Allen stated, determined, while Xiu, calming his celestial power down and staring at his plants that cut off with some blood from Lavi, with guilt on his face.

[Outside the Book]

[—Kunigigaoka High School's Rooftop—]

Luca sighs as he finishes reading the current part; his smartphone then vibrates on his coat's pocket. He takes it out and look onto the caller ID which makes him smirk; he answer it and place it on his ear.

"How is it Radius?" despite asking such a question, Luca knows that his butler would always bring good news and nothing but good news.

[Master Luca, I found what you are asking for. Apparently Ms. Hevlaska Haven is in Japan right now, exact location Namimori. As for her number I'll going to send it to you now.]

"Alright, do it."

Not long after he'd off the call, a message containing his former teacher's number came in.

He quickly dials it and call.

After some rings someone picks up the phone.

[Who may this be?] A female voice that sounds kinda mature but sure familiar, ask,

"Good afternoon Hev-sensei!"

[—Ruika Village—]

"Where are you going Kanda?" Allen asked as Kanda went towards the door of the pub they get in. Morning light enters the pub as soon as the sword user opens it wide.

"Where else? I'm outta here!"

"But Kanda we must gather!"

"Ha?! What for? We don't have a priestess since that girl just rejected us by rejecting the role bestowed on her."

Good thing for them, the owner of the pub is a Byakko worshipper and he doesn't have customer who might report him letting Celestial Warriors take refuge on his business.

"But Kanda—"

"It's alright Allen," Xiu cut the white hair off with gentle smile on his lips, sitting next to him is the said girl "but Kanda when we got in trouble with our enemies would you come to help us?"

"Hmp, let me see if I have spare time to waste with you, especially with Moyashi."

"It's Allen!"

"Kanda, we aren't just Celestial Warriors but we are also citizens of this, Sairo. It would be nice if we could fight together for our country."

"Hmp, suit to yourself." Then Kanda left, closing the door at the same time.

"I'm sorry." Chiharu apologized; blaming herself for Kanda's departure.

Right if she just agreed to be their priestess Kanda might stay with them.

"It's alright. The Celestial Warriors were fated to gather no matter what are the circumstances. Byakko will guide us through his power so no matter where we go we will always finds our way to each other. "

"But that Kanda, it will be difficult to find him again." Xiu and Chiharu looks at to Allen "He, for some reason, I can sense great hatred on him, for his destiny."
