Chapter 5 : With two weeks apart from each other many things happen . (Part 4 ) Ritsuka's part continuation
The mysterious man
Its been a long time , actually you don't know how much pain I endured to make this chapter so I'll make it short , first of all I did a stupid thing , I wrote half of the chapter and got it erased like how to ruin 2 hours of work in 2 seconds because I pushed the wrong button and refreshed the page without saving . Then being so angry at myself I hit my head against the keyboard , and got lazy . Afterwhat we went on a trip for one month and a half to turkey without pc because according to mum it takes to much place in the luggage that means I cant write . And after all these painful events without saying I tried to write it on a turkish keyboard and it was a pain too xD too much use of the word pain . Finally I wrote it on my phone and Im so happy because in 3 days or lets say 2 and a half I'll be back with my pc . Now I talked too much here is the chapter .
Disclamer: i don't own dance with devils nor the characters they belong to Ai Yoshimura except Dan and Shizuka Sogami and our little fox :)
-Sumimase , Its just so funny to tease you . He then continued in a serious tone . Watashi wo Tsukiyomi Rhea . Im a prince and your cousin . Your father is my uncle and He decided to make me his heir since you were born a girl and my father died . You don't remember but we used to spend really much time together . So to make it short , Tachibana Lindo is your cousin from your mother side and I'm your cousin from your father side . Ritsuka's eyes widened .
-I don't know if you'll believe me or not Ritsuka but you may know that I have no reason to lie to you . Then , do you want to hear the rest ? Or do you prefer living without knowing anything about your father and your real self ? After all ignorance is bliss but still wouldn't it be so painful to live a lie ?
I know that I just met him but I can't help but feel that he isn't lying . And If Otou-san decided to let him be his heir that means that he is a good person . And no matter what I want to know about Otou-san and he is the only one who knows about him and is wiling to explain things to me .
- No, I want to hear what you have to say .
-That's my girl . Well then , let's start from the beginning . You-
However he was interrupted by a familiar blue circle drawing where he was standing .
-Prostrate thyself before me , O ye who lurk darkness , though thou wouldst veil thyself in the shadows. ... be thou driven out by my hand ! Rhea jumped on the nearest tree avoiding the blow .
-Yare Yare , Do you want to burn the whole place ? , Dear Lindo . Said Rhea amused at the crimson haired man .
-Damn you ! What do you want from Ritsuka ?! cursed Lindo glaring at the demon .
-Oh ? Well I want nothing more than to tell her the truth about her past , herself and help her find the path of her fate . explained the devil as if it was a matter of fact .
-If you dare lay one finger on her , I swear I'll kill you with my own hands , you monster .
-You really hurt my feelings lin-chan ! My heart is bleeding how could you talk so badly about me ? Im your distant cousin you know ? replied Rhea with a pout .
-Stop acting like a fool . I know you hate me as much as I do hate you . Rhea burst into laughter , his playful tone and cheerfulness long gone . At that Rhea burst into laughter not a kind one but a mocking and sadistic one, his face now hidden behind his bangs . He brushed them with his fingers away from his face revealing a menacing smile and predator blue eyes now shining silver that looked ready to kill . He then spoke in a dark tone .
-Don't make me laugh ! I wonder from where do you have all this confidence . Do you really think you can kill me with those exorcist spells ? Or are you stupid enough to think that because you have that bastard's blood you can beat anyone and kill me ? The difference between you and me is that I'm a pureblood devil , royal blood runs through my veins , my father is lord Maksis twin brother , and my mother is a pureblood devil from a noble family . That means I have no human blood , that means I can kill you without much effort . You only have half of Nesta's blood and unfortunatly for you it's not enough to defeat me . Also you fought Rem didn't you ? Then let me tell you than I'm more powerful than him . Oh no ... Ritsuka knew that Rem was strong and after hearing that she feared what could happen to Lindo . After all when Lindo fought Rem , he managed to wound the kaginuki heir . But still he was injured himself and could have died then . So she knew that against Rhea it was a lost cause from the start . Oh how she blamed herself for being so weak .
-It doesn't mean you can defeat me easily .
-Hahahahah , I'm going to show you how pathetic you are , I'll send you to hell in ten seconds .
- Show me then .
-Ju ! And with inhuman speed he sent Lindo flying to slam in a nearby tree with one kick . Kyu ! His hands then shone with an electric blue light taking small shapes of lighting rays . Rem had the power of fire and Rhea had the power of lightening . He then sent a powerful electric attack that drained Lindo . However the damphir stood up and charged toward Rhea to attack .
-Oh? so you finally decided to attack , but its useless . The devil dodged the attack and took Lindo by the collar . Well why dont we go back to our cooldown . Then where was I ? Ah of course , How foolish of me , Hachi ! with that he punched Lindo in the stomach , and the damphir coughed blood . Nana ! He then took Lindo by the face and slammed him into the ground .
-Don't tell me you're already dead I only reached seven . Or maybe I didn't need ten seconds and you were so weak that you died in three mere seconds ahahah .
-... Prostrate thyself before me ... O ye who lurk darkness , though thou wouldst veil thyself in the shadows. ...
- I thought I already told you it is useless to use you exorcist power against me .
Rhea jumped to avoid the blow but this time the circle divided in three and he didn't have enough to dodge the three of them and dodged only two when he heard Lindo :
- ...be thou driven out by my hand !
-Kuso ! The circle explosed .
Ritsuka was watching the fight in horror , Its true she didn't want Lindo to die however she didn't want Rhea to die either because she knew he wasn't a bad person and because she felt he was the only one who would tell her about her past.
-I thought you said that exorcising spells didn't work on you . Or maybe that was all big talk .
-You bastard ! The smoke was cleared by a powerful wind emanating from Rhea . Blood was running down his chest staining his white coat . I'll make sure you'll never be able to talk again ! You signed your death warrant ! This time I swear I won't give you the opportunity of ten seconds . Anyway I used three seconds and you used two others to attack . You only have five seconds left to live , any last wish ?
-I will kill you and protect Ritsuka ! He then charged at Rhea . Go ! (actually this go is five) He then stopped Lindo's punch with one hand , eyes glaring at him , they were no longer beautiful silver but the became bloody crimson red . Shi ! He took hold of Lindo's wrist and slammed him against the tree on his right . San ! He kicked him in the stomach . Ritsuka closed her eyes .
- No , No ! Onegai , Onegai ...! YAMERU!She whispered but it was loud enough for Rhea to hear . However he directed his words to Lindo not to her .
-How weak ! How pathetic ! How foolish ! Protecting Ritsuka and killing me ? Are you mocking me ? With this strength ? Those words are too big for someone as weak as you . You curse the devils and Rem when they do a better job protecting her .
She then saw a strange memory , however it wasn't hers it was Rhea's . Memories , memories that weren't hers kept flowing . She found herself surrounded by darkness and then she heard a man's voice .
-Nande ? I thought you were happy here with me . I wanted to spend eternıty with you . You know how much I love you . He sounded desperate even though he tried to hide it .
-That's not it Maksis , I ... Hearing the woman's voice Ritsuka recognized her ,
That's ... mother ? then that man is father and the two - years old girl is ...me ?
The devil came closer to the woman and caressed the little girl softly with his fingers .
- I love you Maksis and I know that we will suffer from being apart but I also wish the best for our daughter , and Im sure she will ask questions about you when she grows up however I'll endure it so she can live happily as a human I dont want her to bear the burden of the devil world and get in danger because Nesta is after the grimoire .
-I understand and I too wish for her best that's why no matter where no matter how far apart we are I will keep an eye on her and protect her always . And I will love you forever Maria . Said Lord Maksis smiling sadly and then he kissed Maria for one last time .
Rhea was peaking from the slightly opened door and heard everything and it pained him to know that his cousin that he considered like a little sister would leave and that he will never see her again . His little hand clutched his shirt over his heart .
-Mmmm? Rhea its not nice to spy on people you know . scolded Maksis and then chuckled. Come closer Rhea .
-Nee Is it true Ojii-sama that Ritsu-chan is leaving ? The man patted the young boy on the head .
-Yes and I think that unfortunatly you wont see her again .
- But , You said Ritsu-chan would stay here forever with us . Then doshte ? I dont want Ritsu-chan to go , It wasnt fun before she came here . I dont want to stay alone ever again .
-Gomenasai Rhea , said Maria giving Ritsuka to Maksis and bending to the young boy's level .
I know it will be hard but try to bear the pain , You're a nice boy I know that someday you will grow up to be a good man . She hugged the little boy and he held back the tears .
-You know Rhea its okay to cry when you are sad you dont need to hold back . Said the devil king hugging Ritsuka while the little boy buried his face into the Maria's chest crying silently as she rubbed his back in a calming gesture .
-I ...I love Ritsu-chan so much , so I wanted to become a strong prince to protect her ,so she can be my princess .
Maksis and Maria burst in laughter and Rhea pouted .
- Why are you laughing ?! Im serious .
-Excuse us , You're just so cute and so young yet so mature . You should be less serious and more carefree . Explained Maksis
- Still, Its rude Uncle to laugh when Im serious , I will become strong and find Ritsu- chan so we can live together.
-Then ,I think its time to go . Maksis sighed when his lover remembered him of her departure .
- Say goodbye to Ritsuka , Rhea .
Maksis put the little girl on her feet , struggling to walk to her cousin and tripping . He caught her and hugged her tightly . And then he gave her a necklace .
- Its a gift , I saw it in a shop and I thought it would suit you well since you love snow . The necklace had a snowflake I hope you like it .
The little girl touched the necklace and smiled . She kissed as a thank you , the boy on the cheek and followed her mother .
- Sayonara Ritsu-chan , Mama .
The memories disspated .* Rhea -san he really suffered didnt he ?*
She found herself back in the park with a bloody uncouncious Lindo and Rhea still ready to launch another attack on him at any moment .
-Yamete , Onegai Rhea-san !
-Did you see the memory ? stated Rhea stopping suddenly in his tracks .
-I ... Yes .
-It wasn't an illusion it really happened . And what I said back then is true . My feeling only became stronger with time . Aishteru Ritsuka . He added , the second side of his personality now completely gone . He came closer to Ritsuka took her hand and then pulled her in a kiss . She was about to push him when more memories came back , The two of them playing and her parents watching them they were hazy not clear since she was too young to remember every detail but it managed to make her feel nostalgic somehow . Rhea pulled away and caressed her cheek .
- I should just go for now , just call for my name if you want to know more about your father and yourself . As for you Lindo , I hope you wont be so disappoiting next time I see you . Well janne Ritsuka .
He then disappeared in the air like smoke .
Ritsuka sighed and hurried to Lindo's side when she remembered the injured dhampir
- Nii-san are you okay ?
- Im fine dont worry about me . replied Lindo attempting to get up only to wince in pain and fall to his knees clutching his side .
-Hontoni gomenasai , said Ritsuka in tears . Its all my fault you fought in the first place .
-Daijobu , whispered Lindo wiping her tears away . I was the one who left you in the first place . That devil bastard ! Anyway we should go back its getting dark . Its true that being the dhampir he is he normally would heal in two or three days no more however considering the amount of blood loss and how deep the wounds were it would take him one week to completely heal and a few days to regain conciouness since he collapsed when they haf stepped into the house . Maria was worried about her nephew since she knew the person who did that to him . The negative power emanating from his wounds slowed their healing and only two persons had that kind of power Maksis and Rhea .
-It would have been impossible for Maksis since he is sealed that means that Rhea did . So he returned after all these years for Ritsuka . Thought the woman loudly .Lucky she was that Lindo was asleep , he would have attempted to fight the devil in his state if he heard her however Ritsuka did .
-Okaa-san did you say something ?
-No ,Nademonai wa . Nothing of importance .
-Then why did you have a worried expression on your face ? please okaa-san dont lie to me I know you're hiding something from me .
- Since you are aware of that I wont deny it . Demo , I wont explain anything nor tell you anything at least for now because you must discover yourself . said Maria in a stern voice then went to her room to sleep .
- Discover myself ? Utau -san where are you ? Rhea-san who are you really ? Rem-san how are you ? Okaa-san are you upset because I ask too many questions ? Nii-san are youl going to be okay ? So much questions yet no answers . What İ know for sure is that my answers , I will find them in the devil world . I know İts a bad idea but İm going even if its dark . Because I wont be able to live peacefully without getting to know the devil in me .
Ritsuka left out a note for her mother and went out . She walked to the forest guided by the only light coming from the moon until she reached the river . Its been three days now since İ left the devil world .
-What is a cute girl doing in the forest in the middle of the night?Its dangerous , horrible things might happen . Or maybe you like nocturne walks ? spoke the first man
-You should come with us . said another man .
Turning around she saw two handsome men and a girl her age .
The first one had short blond hair and amethyst eyes . The second one had curly brown hair and blue azure eyes . As for the girl she had long blond hair reaching her waist and mismatched eyes an amethyst one and a yellow one . The three of them were dressed in white .
Suddenly the woman jumped in front of Ritsuka or more like flew or floated there .
-Looks ordinary to me . Are you sure this is the girl Nathaniel ?
-Dont be stupid Amber . Do you really think İm capable of such a mistake ? Well If Its someone's fault Its Castiel's.
-Don't care what you say about me . Just get this stupid job done so can go back home . The human world is a pain .replied the brown haired young man in a lazy tone . Im tired of that old man and his stupid missions . They continued to argue for a moment when Ritsuka interrupted them .
-Sumimasen desu ka , do you have buisness with me ?
-Oi human girl dont be so arrogant . whined Amber . Can I duel her Nathaniel just to see what she has got .
-Whatever dont kill her.
-I'll do my best I cant promise anything though . I dont have to be careful since we're not in our world and I can make her bleed .She said smiling like a predator ready to eat his prey or like a beast ready to shed blood . Ritsuka got scared .
I thought they were nice people but I was wrong .How foolish of me !
White immaculate wings appeared from the girl's back as she attacked Ritsuka dealing blow after blow , Blood flowing everywhere until Nathaniel grabbed her arm stopping her .
-Dont forget our mission I told you not to kill her .
-Pff you and your stupid loyality can go to hell for all I care . Cursed Amber .
-Agreed . Added Castiel
-First Its not proper for angels to speak ill of each other specially for a lady like yourself . Second angels and I dont mean by that fallen ones dont go to hell . And third Im your older brother so behave and dont make me punish you .
- As if , I'll how you when we go back .
-You never saw my true strenght Amber dont you dare mess with me. I might loose my cool .
-The target is uncouncious you empty headed siblings and She is bleeding , she might die . spoke Castiel still in lazy tone laying under a tree on the grass , listening to music with his earphones .
-I'll have to carry her then .Mindokse ( Im sick of it ) Im always doing the work alone . Carrying Ritsuka bridal style , Nathaniel started to walk away with his young sister and friend .
- How ironic ?! Are you really angels ? beating a helpless girl , kidnapping her and fighting while cursing each other . Looks more like devils or vampires to me . Said a voice from the top of a tree . Sorry to spoil your fun but I think you have something that belongs to me .
The said man jumped only to land gracefully on the grass .
-Ne ? Nathaniel Haseki , Castiel Christophe and Amber Haseki . Nathaniel's eyes widened .
- You are ...
-Tsukiyomi Rhea . Said the angel and the devil at the same time .
-Listen I just got out of a stupid ball done by one of the devil nobles and I have a terrible headache so just give me the girl . stated Rhea in an irritated tone .
-Or ? Challenged the angel
-Or I give you a ticket to hell and a beatiful ride on the Styx maybe you'll visit cerberus and Hades there .
-Oh? Hontoni desu ka ? replied the angel in an ironic tone caressing the girl in his arms .
Seeing that Rhea unleashed his sword swinging it in the angel's direction while Nathaniel tossed the girl into Castiel's arms to block the attack.
-Powerful I must say devil prince .
-You're not bad yourself . And you have a good sword platinia isn't it?
The clashing of swords getting louder and louder until Rhea backed away . *I wont beat him this way it'll take too much time that means that my only option is using it * .
Rhea then took of his suit jacket throwing it on the tree and attacked Nathaniel another time using his sword . It looked almost like a dance when Rhea spoke up .
-You are finished .said Rhea smirking moving his index finger revealing thin string . The angel was trapped in between strings .
-Nani?! When did you ?! Its was when you took off your jacket ! All your swordplay was a decoy ,so you would place the strings correctly.
-Dont try to break them , they wont easily and you should be careful they're wet .
-What do you mean they are no its not ... !
-Oh dont worry you'll find out soon enough . answered the prince smiling sadistically his hand holding a crimson lightning ball producing electric sound . What about a game say the truth I let you go , lie and I give you an electric shock .
-That's stupid .
-If you dont want to I'll give you your electric shock it will be a good one with wet strings . Then what are you planning to do with Ritsuka ?-We were going to take her with us to the angel realm .
-Why ?
-I wont say anything more .
-Wrong answer .Dont think you can force my hand , then shinne (die) ! yelled Rhea throwing the ball in the strings creating an electric shock of 220 V ( well they arent human so ...everything is possible ) The angel screamed and fell after the electric shock .
Rheq then appeared before the other two snatched Ritsuka from them and disppeared only to appear in an appartement ,Rhea' used magic to replace her clothes and took her to his room placing her on his bed and taking care of her wounds .
-Just how careless can you be to walk alone outside in the middle of the night and in the forest worst place . whispered Rhea laying beside her caressing her .
- I know I shouldn't do this but Im worried those angels might come her for you . Well i'll sleep on the sofa . As he was getting off of the bed Ritsuka grabbed his arm in her sleep .
-Stay with me Aniki .
*She said Aniki right ? Did she remember what she used to call me ? What are you dreaming of Ritsuka . *
3 days later ...
Ritsuka opened her eyes taking in her surroundings , She saw an unfamiliar ceiling and room , wearing a night gown . Where Am i ? What happened ? How long did I sleep ?
-You are in my house , You were attacked by angels I happened to pass by and saved you and treated your wounds . Dont worry I used magic to change your clothes and finally you slept for 3 days .
-Rhea-san? How I still didnt ask any questions and Nani? NANI! THREE DAYS ! Hontoni gomenasai I must have been a burden for you .
-Well its always the same questions .And Im happy that you are here , You can stay If you want .
-Okaa-san is going to CALL THE POLICE .
-Uchitsuku Ritsuka (calm down), I called her dont worry , and Lindo didn't awake yet , your mother said he would maybe wake up by tomorrow or so .
-I have a question Rhea -san .
-What is it?
-Do you know mother ?
-Well of course she was like an older sister for me . Oji-sama , Aneue and me would spend much time together before you were born when I finished my lessons and training . But afterwards times changed and I spent much time alone until you were born . So yes I know her .
-I see .
Then it was silence and awkwardness followed by .
-Well breakfast is ready ,you must be hungry you didnt eat for 3 days .
-Arigato gozaimasu ! said Ritsuka bowing and Rhea chuckled lifting her chin up making the girl blush .
-Dont be so formal with me . And you dont have to thank me , just promise me one thing .
-What is it ?
-Ritsuka your face is red , do you have a fever ?
-No , I dont think so .
-Mmm? Is it something else ? asked Rhea coming closer .
-Well ...Its ...i
The devil burst into laughter .
-hahaha , sorry its just so fun to tease you .
Ritsuka pouted looking away from him .
-Little princess is angry ? asked Rhea in a playful tone.
-What if i am ?
-Yare yare , are you going to give me the cold shoulder ? I was just joking ,you know . Still being ignored he sighed and walked to her patting her head .
-Nee Ri-tsu-chan , you should eat breakfast or I will punish you.
Looking away , Rhea's smile widened .
-Well , Dont regret it later .
Pinning her to the bed , he started ro tickle her everywhere as she burst into laughter .
-Hahahahha ... Onegai ...Rhea-san Hahahha stop Im not ahahahah angry anymore .
-Hum? Then be a nice girl and go eat , I have important things to do I'll be in the other room if you need something you can come to my room .
-Hai , Rhea-san .
Entering his room , he closed the door and started doing paperwork being one of his duties as a prince normally he wouldn't have the luxury to go to the human world . However he used an illusion trick to make the people in the castle think he was still there . That didnt prevent him from doing paperwork since he was responsible and took his papers with him , actually he already dealed with most of them only few remained it would take him less than an hour to finish .
Meanwhile Ritsuka ate her breakfast , it was delicious .
I wonder if I should ask him about my past or maybe I should go home for today .
She went to his room and knocked on his door , receiving no response she knocked again with the same result .
-Rhea-san Im coming in !
Opening the door she saw a pile of paper on the desk , several other scattered on the floor as for Rhea he was sleeping peacefully head and arms resting on the desk .
His face looked so angelic and childish . His hair was loose from its usual ponytail and cascaded instead around his shoulders and waist . Ritsuka did her best not to wake him up and gathered the papers . Only one was left just next to Rhea's chair . As she was about to take it . He grabbed her wrist slamming her against the wall and cornering her with his body . His eyes became crimson red , and he had a sadistic menacing smile on his face .
She tried to push him away and failed since he was far more stronger than her .
-Im going to make you suffer just as much as I did , so you scream and get down on your knees begging for mercy . Then and only then will I kill you . His finger now wrapped around her neck tightly .
-Rhea-san ...ittai ...yameru ... Onegai!
She slapped him hard across the face not knowing herself from where did she have that strength .
His eyes widened turning back to their silver color , his hand went to his red cheek , his shocked expression turned to one of sadness as he looked away eyes covered by his bangs .
-Im deeply sorry Ritsuka I dont know what came over me . Can you just ,wait in the living room . I'll come in a few minutes . stated Rhea still avoiding Ritsuka's eyes .
-Rhea-san ...mate kuda sai , I wanted to tell you something I-
-You're going home , I know your mother must be worried about you and you want to look after Lindo , I will drive you back , to make sure you reach the house safely .
-Ah arigato .
Sitting in the living room . I wonder If Rhea-san is going to be okay , he looked like a completely different person. Then uncounciously she reached for her neck .
(Rhea's POV)
I tried to calm down with a cold shower . I wanted to forget , forget what I just did . When did I fall so lowly ? How could I hurt the dearest person to me ? Its all that bastard's fault ! No its not , Im the one at fault because I let my guard down . Going out of the shower I dressed in black pants and a white shirt . Afterwhat I held my hair in its usual high ponytail with a black ribbon . When I looked at the mirror my eyes were crimson red . I blinked and found them back to their usual silver . Im blaming Lindo when I myself failed to protect her , furthermore I almost killed her .How pathetic of me !
Yes you are pathetic , He heard that voice that belonged to his split personality that was born because of his suffering as a child mostly because of Ritsuka .
You think that she will love you back ? How stupid .!
-Urusai .
You're protecting her and caring for her only to find out that she chose another over you. How foolish !
-Damare
You're just as desperate as a man lost in a desert without water . How helpless ! How weak ! How hopeless !
-DAMARE! Yelled Rhea breaking the mirror with his fist . I know , I just now too well that never , never will she look at me . Im only , a step stone for her to reach the top . Doshte koko ni ? Why did you choose Rem? He took a necklace from his pocket , the one with a snowflake ." So close yet so far away." Now I understood what those words really meant .
His hand was bleeding , he licked the blood as the wound closed then he went to see Ritsuka .
(END OF POV )
He put on the best smile he could manage in his state .
-Yare Yare sorry for making you wait . said Rhea forcing himself to br cheerful. Shall we go then?
-Yes Ikuyo , Rhea-san .
He took his black coat sunglasses and scarf wearing them , then his keys .
-Rhea-sama do you want me to drive you somewhere ? said a man with short pink hair and yellow eyes dressed like a butler.
-No Ryujin , Im driving today .
-Very well then streichimasu (Excuse me )
'What a weird color of hair' thought Ritsuka .
- Here we are , said Rhea stopping before a black porsche cayenne . He opened the door for Ritsuka then went to the driver seat .
-Kawaii desu .
-Mmm ? do you like my car ?
-Its a beautiful one , but Im not really used to riding cars normally I would walk to school , I only rode a limousine two times with Rem when mother disppeared because of the vampires .
Rhea felt a pang of jealousy but didnt let it show on his face .
- I see . replied Rhea starting the car .
-Rhea - san is Ryujin san your butler ?
-Yeah he is . He served our family for a long time . He normally drive my limousine . But since I really dont want to attract attention , I prefer using this car .
-Sokka...
A heavy silence , reigned in the car . It was obvious that what happened earlier that day affected their realtionship.
-Nee , Rhea-san . Said Rituska finally breaking the silence .
-What is it ?
-Who were the people who attacked me that night ?
- Angels , they want you because you're the grimoire even though you no longer hold its power . That means that even I ignore what they are plotting . But personally I think there is more to it . So promise me that you wont go out alone at night wandering in a forest .
- I promise .
- And try not to go out specially on twelve thirteen and fourteen of september that will be next week .
-Nande ?
-Because of the Walpurgis night , All the surnatural beings are on the hunt that day so better stay at home .
-How do you know that it will be in those three days ?
-Well lets say that I was born in a Walpurgis night that means that of course I would know the date but normally no one would know since its a mysterious night .
-That means that your birthday is next weak !
-That's not the most important part Ritsuka . In those days light beings like fairies , magicians , White angels , Saints , Exorcists , Shinigamis have their powers weaken while dark beings like Witches , fallen angels , devils ,
vampires , specters ,werewolves,yokais , arrancar and hollow become stronger. However being born that day Im the only exception .
-Hontoni what happens to you Rhea-san ?
-My powers become 2 times stronger than others . And only few people know of that fact .
-And how do you know it is Walpurgis night ?
-It will only be one night , look at the moon it will be a full crimson moon .
Ah it seems we arrived .
-Arigatou gozaimasu Rhea-san for driving me back !
-Nani mo.
-Ah Ohayo Rhea-kun its been a long time . said a woman's voice.
-Tadaima Okaa-san !
-Okarinasai , Ritsuka .
-I'll be going then Ritsuka , Aneue (big sister )
-Matte kokoni , Rhea-kun come inside and I wont accept no as an answer .
-Well if you insist . He parked his car and walked to the two humans .
Ritsuka ran to her room to check over Lindo while Rhea and Maria stayed together .
Putting her hand on his cheek Maria smiled .
-You really have grown up into a fine young man . Nee , Rhea -kun .
-Arigato , you didnt change at all .
At that Maria chuckled .
-You look just like him , dont you brother in-law ?
-Dont call me that Ritsuka might hear you .
-So you told her you were her cousin ?
-Yes I did . Its a long story to explain , I want her to remember before I tell her the truth besides , Im only three years older than her . Its easier If she believes Im her cousin.
-But you know , she is waiting for you to tell her about her past .
-And I will however sometimes ignorance is bliss .
One week later ...
Lindo had finally healed fully . As for Ritsuka she had only two days left before going back to the devil world . She did her best to not go out much through the week .
August 12nd
The moon wasn't completely full , and pale white .
August 13rd
The moon was full but still pale white .
August 14th
The moon was full crimson red . Its the walpurgis night .
And also the day of Ritsuka's departure. Lindo went with her to the river .
She concentrated ,trying to make connection with Urie.
Actually I was about to continue this chapter but it wont be interesting if I finish everything in this chapter . Then what about a preview .
-Your highness , I have bad news . stated Dan sternly head low .
-What do you mean ! Explain yourself , did anything happen to her ?! Yelled Rem eyes shining menacingly .
