Chapter 8
Discord's PoV
I needed some air. See, thing is, I get pissed easily. You know how rattlesnakes rattle at the slightest sound. Then the next sound they strike? Yeah, I was at the border line of striking.
I'm not sure why I got mad. Much less at Akira. I mean, in situations like this she was supposed to be feeling jealous about me having sex with a girl. However, that girl was her best friend and she had seen her in harms way.
Plus she probably knew Katia was a virgin. But still, I was terribly mad. I just didn't need the back talk about my love life toppled on top of everything else.
Everday I had to resist the urge to kill just about everyone I'd ever met, suck up any blood I saw or release my true personality. I was stuck behind a curtain. On top of that, I got put into all these classes that were just disrupting me even more.
And as if that wasn't enough, I got to be a criminal by night and work under Huang while being humilitated by Supernova.
Sex was just about the one good thing going on, and it wasn't going too well. But you know what? Suddenly I wasn't so mad anymore. No, I was furious. Guess who decided to call?
Huang was so lucky he was far away in some abandoned warhouse. I swear, if I could track him, he'd be swarmed with reptiles in seconds.
Since we'd lost the two other objects needed in some three-step-process, Huang decided it was time for us to take the final stand. Steal the last piece so the puzzle couldn't be solved.
First question: Why is everything usually on some building top? Second question: Why is it only Huang and Hei who're stealing these items. Finally: Can this emotional breakdown help be kick SP's ass? I'll probably accomplish the opposite.
The girl arrived quickly, as expected, and didn't waste any time before attacking. Her blows were with her phyisical attire at first, leaving out man-made weapons. The punches, kicks and other swings were majorily blocked on both sides. Then I brought out my snakes.
At that point she brought out two swords. There was practically identical except for the fact that on was more blunted and made out for blocking, while the other was sharp for slashing. And they were black, of course.
It was almost funny at the fact that we practically had 'costumes'. Hei wore his usual night-sky blue cloak, along with the usual undercloth and wires. Supernova was the label of a dieing star that would turn into a black hole. Black holes=black cloths.
Now with me, I was more of a forest-colored guy. Not camo or anything, but green and brown. My hair was a dark black, and it fell loose in spikes above my mask. The white patch held a green snake on it's right eye, like SP's black star and Hei's purple lightning strike. After that was a low-cut green tee that was tight, as usual. I wore brown cargo pants that fit well and hair-color matching boots, along with fingerless gloves. A cloak like Hei's may have been stylish but, oh well.
Using my skills, the shed skin of snakes coiled into it's own sword. It was curved a bit at the edge, but the curl only made it more deadly. Our battle raged on as action started in the sidelines.
You may think just because my enemy has swords doesn't mean she can't use them. But Supernova could do anything, I'd learned. Use anything, make anything, break anything.
I wouldn't think at that point she'd break my mask.
Almond's PoV
It was a single hit. The one strike that had hit just above his right eye, shattering the space around it. I couldn't see his whole face, but I did see his eye. Green. It was a bright green that had a small tint of yellow. It felt cool and somewhat soft, the color, even though I couldn't feel it.
And I'd seen those same eyes. That same color. He'd watched me, laughed with me, grinned with me and everything. But this gaze was one of surprise, recovery and then pleasure. The pleasure Discord held whenever he was in a fight.
It wasn't possible. Hisoka wasn't Discord. Hisoka had some issues, yes, but there was no way that psychotic reptile could keep up even a small front. But it would need investigation. Maybe Discord had a twin before his...change.
And for the first time, I forgot about the fight. I was knocked down by the bastard, and up just in time to see him leaping off in some getaway helicopter. Where the fuck do we keep getting these getaways from?
And I could I be so easily distracted.
Drake's PoV
This time was real. I couldn't believe it. She'd broken my mask, and for the first time her body language showed off some emotion. Surprise, shock and, could it be, disbelief? Maybe she was amazed at my badass looks. People always said my eyes were sexy. I recovered quickly, and continued the fight.
The fight she ended, making me easily overpower her. I'd finally beaten her, but I also hadn't. I wanted a fair, no distractions, full on fight. Not some shit where she was day dreaming. But Huang would be happy enough.
Actually, that really isn't a bright comment. But even after it not being exactly what I wanted, I still beamed. SP got lost in something, and it was definitely emotional. And the Black Hole didn't have emotions, or so I thought.
The questions were put aside. After returning the object to Huang, whatever the hell it was, I made my way back to school. I came into class a bit late, missing only Civics and skipping to Math, and found Akira had also been late. My eyes scanned her body, and I hissed under my breath.
She was right there, and I was feeling like anything. Kicking ass, fucking hers? Sounded like a plan. Unfortunately it wasn't Hisoka's plan. But he did seem like lover boy, so maybe I could arrange? The only issue I had was Katia. I wasn't sure how to change her around.
Almond's PoV
I was bored. Not 'Akira was bored' but me, Almond, Supernova. The fight with Discord had strung myself to a high low. Nothing had happened that was on some interest since the having-sex-with-Katia situation.
And so I came up with another idea. Seeing as how he was, there was some maybes about Hisoka having feelings for Akira. Since I needed to examine him anyways, I decided to make a bit of cemestry between them. Obviously hidden, considering I was Katia's best friend, but still there.
Minutes into class, both out phones were flipped out.
Why were you late? Thought you were a good girl.
I can ruthless when necessary.
The response had a hint of sexual activity in it, hopefully something Hisoka would catch on to.
Ooo, can you be ruthless to me?
Only if you piss me off.
A low growl sounded from behind me, where Hisoka sat, and I grinned. Plan accomplished.
I'd love to.
Yeah, yeah. What do you want. I'm still pissed at you for Katia.
Ooo, does this cause for some roughness?
You ass!
Fine, fine. Tell me, how does the makith up for ith?
Thou must meetith me in thy library.
Wonderful.
Discord's PoV
I was freaking out. I should be thinking of myself as a full on badass. Today Akira flirted with me, just what I'd wanted. But I also felt immense passion about her. Pride had flowed through me by her words. That, and lust. But these...emotions weren't the crap I dealt with. These were confusing, new and unwelcome.
And I wasn't happy. First of all, I'd been obsessing over her for some time. Now she was getting me all hot and bothered. The girl better wish she didn't disappoint.
And then, I can't believe I'm saying this, I wouldn't threaten her. I wouldn't touch her, never harm her. It was disturbing. Me, Discord, blood-sucking snake didn't want to harm the ordinary Akira. I fucking hated it. She did so much, and was screwing up my whole system in the process.
But I didn't know how to fix them either, so I'd focus on taking her. I was sure once I did, my feelings for her would disappear.
