Author comments: Booyaka! Chapter 9! You know… I was really having a hard time with this chapter; my mind was getting a little dry and water was nowhere to be seen… But then I found Juvia and everything was okay now.

I'll start adding more OCs, the evil girls that start threatening Ali-chan are just ownerless bimbos needed to spice up the story; and I'm really sorry if one of you readers has the same name as they have, I really tried to find not very used names, but I am from a place where the names aren't that randomized, and the randomized names are mostly Portuguese, so… I'm very sorry about that ^.^'

The reason why I chose these names:

Minerva – although the name's kinda cool, I decided this name due to a Fairy Tail character also named Minerva, and she was a real devil.

Nikki – another cool name that means 'diary', but this name just popped in my head due to another anime named Mirai Nikki (Future Diary).

Ruby – I first thought of Scarlet as in Final Fantasy VII's 'Kyaa ha ha!' but then again, I just love Erza Scarlet (Fairy Tail); so Ruby it is.

The lightning girl is my personal P Hearts OC.

Also just to put mess with you a little, I'll spoil it by saying that next chapter two beloved characters will show up finally.

Well, enjoy~!

CHAPTER 9 – Rai No Otome

The Maiden Of Lightning


~Refresher- refreshing your memories since Rufus' Memory Make…

She straightens herself on his lap and rests her head on his chest, a very moe-moe scene but her tiredness doesn't care right now, she just wants to rest and forget everything a little. Her Master smiles at the sight and holds her well, as he wished before. "I'll get some blood for ya later~." Alice opens her eyes a little and whispers "I hate you…" for reminding her that she needs to drink blood, he answers her in whispers with a "I love you too." She closes her eyes and rests; as they go back to Pandora. But they don't know that they're being watched by evil heterochromatic eyes. They better prepare for worst.

~after Break taking Alice to their room, a few days passed...


Everyone was still talking about the little girl, the one who made a Contract with B-Rabbit, the one who defeated a Chain right after obtaining one of her own, and the girl who became Break's Servant.

The last part was really starting to intrigue Alice; people mentioned it with a weird tone of unrivalled surprise. "Why's that such a big deal? Isn't he supposed to have a Servant like everyone else?" Through that, she was also capable of noticing that a big amount of people fear him and try to keep distance, also an amount of people (mostly women) interested in him; not that was her business in which way they're interested.

She kept herself deeply thinking about it, she was so concentrated that didn't even noticed that Vincent was next to her nicely smiling "I can answer your questions if you wish." His sudden words made Alice comically jump in surprise.

Should she trust him? Should she not? Break told her to be away from him, that he's the incarnation of the devil himself; but! her curiosity still wants to know the truth! Even so, maybe is something that is dangerous for her.

Vincent giggled at her look, that's literally screaming "Tell me! I need to know!"

"I'll take that as a yes. Your Master is the only member of Pandora who didn't have a Servant until you appeared." Translating… that means that he never had a Servant "D-do… do you know the reason?"

Fear filled her mind with questions "It would be better if you asked him yourself; I'm not in the position to answer that part." And with his words, he leaves Alice with the agony of doubt.

She watches as he leaves and readies herself to interrogate her Master, many questions she has waiting to be answered.


~some time later, Alice makes her way back to the room…

Alice faces her so-called Master, with a brave look yet a frightened emotion in her eyes.

"Welcome back~!" A cheerful welcome comes from Break; however, her lack of angry screaming in response calls his attention. "Something on your mind?" She shakes her head calmly and lifts her head to meet his gaze.

"Tell me, why you didn't had a Servant like anyone else?" Her sudden question caught him out of guard; however his expression of surprise quickly changed to a dark grin. "Are you sure you want to know it?" A frightened nod as a reply he received. "Is that why some people fear you?" Alice's other question widened Break's grin.

"Why, aren't you a curious one~? If I told you the reason then you would fear me as well." Alice gulps as a dark, sinister aura involves him; trying to get her words out of her mouth. "Just say it already!"

Defeated by Alice's insistence, Break sighs and decides to talk "I've never been interested in having a Servant, whenever I had to eat someone; I simply drank their blood, nothing else." He clearly was bored with that part of the conversation while it's still a big deal.

"Then why people fear you?" One question down. The bored expression on Break's face was replaced with scary intimidating smirk making jus to the atmosphere. "Little you know bunny; that it's still not for you to know."

And by the time Alice opens her eyes, he had already disappeared; leaving her both scared and confused. The little girl gulps then sighs and makes her way to the library, while thinking in founding an informative book.


~at the library…

Alice walks in a giant library, not very full with people and unlike regular libraries, most part of the few people were talking loud and making noise, she also founds a group of three women glaring her; but she just ignores them and starts searching for the book.

In one of the shelves there were many books, but none of them was the right one.

While searching, the glaring gang goes to her; very angry looking.

"Hey!" One of them starts talking, and she had a very arrogant, egocentric and snobbish tone; Alice on her side continues ignoring her as she learned from her parents to ignore strangers and people that annoy her, even though she had an empty serious face, she was actually proud of herself for putting the things she learned in practice.

"We're talking to you!" Another says, and she also had the same tone as the first one, but Alice keeps ignoring them; as it starts to get annoying.

"Of course she won't talk to us, just look at the way that you're talking to her." The third one surprisingly had a calm voice; Alice finally decides to turn to them, as the last one sounded more reasonable.

"Sorry about the way that they've talked to you, we just wanted to have a conversation with you. I'm Minerva, she's Ruby and that's Nikki." The Minerva lady has long, waist length light blonde hair and blue eyes; Ruby has straight dark red hair and purplish blue eyes with long eyelashes; and Nikki has black hair and big green eyes. Also notable, they all wear revealing clothes.

"I'm Alice… How can I help you?" Alice was a little stunned to the three ladies beauty, but she is way more beautiful than them was still more focused on finding the book.

"It's not a big deal, we just wanted that you were nice and backed off from him." Minerva's tone changed in the last part, as if intimidating her; Alice kept herself calm, and in a matter of fact, she makes no idea of what Minerva meant.

"Who is 'him'?" Alice, not making an idea of their point, she wasn't even interested in knowing it whatsoever.

"Don't act innocently! Just because he chose you, that doesn't mean that you can do what you want with him! He's ours!" And again, Alice doesn't understand a single thing; instead, she's losing her patient.

"I don't understand what you mean! Just who's the person that you're talking about?" Alice lost her patient and starts raising her voice, but her tone were still much quieter than Minerva's.

"Of course we're talking about Master Break! And how dare you raising your voice to me? You insolent brat! You're simply a Servant!" And Minerva raises her hand to slap Alice, the latter flinches, but a few seconds after, nothing happens.

"Just what you think that you're doing? If you're really devoted to him, then you should know that he extremely hates anyone who dares to touch his belongings." When Alice opens her eyes, she sees Minerva shaking with fear and someone holding her arm.

It was a girl with a dark hood covering her head, she has one visible dark pink eye and the other one had an eyepatch. From the hood, it's visible jet black bangs. "Belongings?" Alice twitched a little but still was very grateful to the stranger.

"Just who you think you are?" Minerva's gang rejoins, and surrounds them; the unknown girl remains indifferent and pushes Alice away. The latter notices that the other people around were excited to see a fight, while they were inside of a library.

The girl points her finger to the exit, bolts and sparkles of lightning appears around her "Be gone Minerva, and take your crew with you; stay if you want to be fried. Although I think that this is nothing compared to what he will do to you once he finds out that you were messing with his Servant." The girl darkly chuckles to her own words, and Minerva starts trembling again.

They back off and go away, fuming and silently cursing. When Alice goes to the girl, the latter is nowhere to be seen, Alice frowns "And I really wanted to thank her…"

And Alice decides to ask the surrounding people about the girl's whereabouts.
