After being taken to the dressing room, Sapphire looking at her pouted face in mirror as she sat quietly, while watching Rose do the final touches on her clothes and hair.
" There it's done! And it looks great on you if I do say so myself." Exclaimed Rose. Sapphire stopped pouting and looked at her outfit. Rose gave her a simple grey hooded T-shirt, a pair of star patterned pumpkin pants, and classic black and white striped sneakers. Over that is a blue apron with a paw print of the front.
" Your first shot is with Reiji's team with the kids isn't that cute~?"
" Yeah, sure, lucky me."
"Aw~! Come on don't be like tha-" But before Rose could finish her sentence there was a knock on the door.
" What is it?" Rose called
" Um, I been asked for the assistance of head stylist Rose ?" said a voice. Rose rose from her stool and opened the door. Sapphire just continued looking at her reflection as Rose talked, till Sapphire heard the snake's voice. "An impure core is nearby be alert." Sapphire stiffened, but looked around the room.
"Where is it?," She asked in her thoughts.
"It's right behind you, quickly before they change the possessed turns into their true form, you have at least 1 hour and 30 mins, since the core seems to have just possessed her body ."
Immediately Sapphire turned towards the door and there she saw a dark clearly visible right next Rose. Since Sapphire read a lot of mangas and anime, she knew that she was the only one who could see this auras and the normal eyes what seems to be the end of their women's discussion, Rose turned around with a smile.
" Hey, Sapphire guess what we have good news."
" We?"
" Yep, this girl right here will be helping me with your wardrobe too but only for this shot, since she's here for her first part-time job. But hey, like they say two heads are better than one," said Rose with a toothed smile as Sapphire took a good look at the woman has long blond hair which was tied into a single braid, she was wearing orange summer dress tied with a ribbon in the middle. But Sapphire could have sworn that her blue eyes, just turned black for a moment and returned back to its normal colour.
" My name is Kiko, It's a pleasure in working with you ." said the blond woman taking a small bow.
" No please, the pleasure is mine. And I too am glad in working with you," responded Sapphire with respect, to make her not suspicious.
" Everyone, I need the actors and their junior on set now!" yelled the Director.
" Y-yes, thanks for the warning," said Rose in response as she yet again carried shocked Sapphire in her arms and dashed towards the set.
" Hurry up, Kiko-chan you don't want to be late for the shooting!" yelled Rose while.
" I'm coming just give me a moment to lock the door." Kiko yelled back
" 'Kay" Rose responded in the distance as she already exited the dressing room quarters. As Kiko double checked the halls to make sure that no one's there. Once the coast was clear, Kiko let off an evil toothed smile " So this is the guardian of the melody?! Hehehe….don't make me laugh." as she eyes turned into bloodshot red. " Oh well, at least I get to enjoy the guardians life force later of course, I just can't wait." she said licking her lips,as she walked her way towards Rose and the rest of the crew with her features back to normal as if nothing happened.
Everything in the shoot when smoothly so far, but Sapphire was staying close to Otoya, Tokiya and Reiji as close as possible. Since Kiko seems to be in the staffs tent, smiling. She was so concentrated in keeping an eye on her, she forgot all about the stares that she was receiving by the little boys and girls.
" Ne, onee-chan?" said one of the little girls.
" Y-yes?" Sapphire said giving the girl her attention.
" Why do you carry that bag all the time? Don't you get tired?" she asked innocently.
Before Sapphire could answer there was a meow that interrupted her. And of course, the children heard it.
" Hey did guys heard that? Her bag just meowed !" said a boy
" Ah! Onee-chan you have a kitty ?!" said another child
" I want to see the cute kitty, please?!" said the girl sweetly
"Um…" Unsure of how to handle the situation she felt a hand on her shoulder, Sapphire looked up to find a happy Reiji with a smile.
" Why not Sapphire-chan, I bet your kitty cat is very cute~ Right kids? Who wants to see the cute little kitty?"
" WE DO !" shouted the children with all smiles and looking at Sapphire at their wide eyes of excitement.
With a defeated sigh, Sapphire gently put her bag down and took out a small sized furball. The children were puzzled by the sudden shape, Sapphire giggled and gently stroked the living creature. The furball started to uncurl itself and purred as it nuzzled to it's master's gentle touches. The children looked in awe and stayed still in glittering eyes of excitement. Slowly putting Leo down to play with the children, she noticed that Kiko started to move from her set and started to walk out off the set.
"What are you doing little one!? Your wasting time only 1 hour left! Hurry!" Shouted the snake.
" I'm trying to think of something,but the child's will be in danger."
"Think faster!"
As Sapphire finally thought of a excuse and she ran towards Tokiya.
" Tokiya-senpai, I have to go to the little girl's room." She said.
" Alright. But be sure to come back, we can take it from here."
" Thanks, be back in a second."
Running fast Sapphire was able to track down Kiko at the back of the kindergarten, which would be a good place to settle things once for all. But to be safe Sapphire blocked the only entrance and exit which lead both of them to a dead end. Preparing in fighting stance Sapphire felt a warm light on her back and her wings appeared already turned into steel, which unfolded shielding the blocked area.
" Kiko-san, I believe this the end of the line for you. If that really is your real name," said Sapphire
" Hehehe...of course, it is my sweet little girl, but not since after I have possessed her soul~"
" Release her and one gets hurt."
" Oh, I will release her…," Kiko said as she gave off a fox grin and transformed as her dark aura surrounded her.
"What !? No way….she's transforming? Hey! I thought you said that she has 1 hour left before she's in true form!," Sapphire thought.
"She does, but it seems like, the core is impatient. It's going into its substitute form. But be careful." The snake informed her.
After the transformation, Kiko's hair was now dark brown, on her head were two black insect antennae are visible on her head, her lower back has a bee's abdomen with a knife like stinger at the end,she was now wearing a yellow tight shirt, a pair of black shorts, black stilettos.
"Now then, how about a little girl to girl talk~?"
Sapphire smirked " Sure, I would love too."
Kiko flew 1 meter up by using her bee like wings and summoned a swarm of army bees, ready for attack. Sapphire decided to make the first attack and launched feathers, which was able to kill some bees.
" Not bad~But what happens if you face the queen~?" She said as Kiko flew towards with her stinger aiming at Sapphire's heart. But She blocked it without a sweat as the stinger was stopped but her huge wings wrapped around her body. Which resulted in a huge noise of clashing metal.
" Now this is fun I can't remember the last time someone was able to stop my stinger."
Sapphire smirked, " Good because I'm about to take your core, you stupid bee." In a split second, Kiko was slammed into the wall. And was pinned into place with steel feathers on her shirt, shorts and including her wings. Kiko tried to free herself, but the more she forces her way out, the more the feathers dig deeper into the cement wall. So escaping isn't the option.
" Alright~I'll stay put. Minions how about you show our guest the royal treatment~?"
Without realizing Sapphire was swarmed with bees, all falling in at the same time aiming with their stingers, Sapphire winched in pain as some managed to give her little cuts on her legs and arms and man it hurts ! while she finally shields her body with her wings. "Hey, snake a little help or a tip in using my powers would nice." Said Sapphire using her inner voice.
"Okay, I already know what to do but I need you to pluck out one of your feathers and repeat after me " Hear me, Heaven above for I'm the guardian of light, hear my beading and be my live offering evil sprite !" Hurry !, you have 30 more mins to finish the job."
Taking a deep breath, Sapphire plucked one of her feathers, closed her eyes constructed. All the bees stopped attacking as a circle of light appeared under her as she chanted " Hear me, Heaven above for I'm the guardian of light, hear my beading and be my live offering evil sprite !" There was a burst of light, as the feather took the form of a sword twice her size with the design of a cross in the middle with a wing at the handle. Kiko was shocked this time, seeing her face change expression. Sapphire knew she has the upper hand know.
Kiko gritted her teeth " ATTACK !" she commented, the bees begin to close in, but Sapphire didn't flinch. Instead she did a light swing of her holy sword, Kiko stared in shock as hundreds and hundreds of her bee army collapse to the ground like useless dolls. Finally making her way to the queen bee.
With no other options left, Kiko started to plead " No...please...don't kill me….I'm an innocent woman...remember ?" Hoping Sapphire would fall for it.
Sapphire looked at the possessed Kiko with the coldest glare she could do, sending shivers down Kiko's spine and said. " Please, you think that would be fooled, by a pathetic face like that ? Get out my sight, you impure soul." Before Kiko could a sharp was stabbed into her chest, in pain she shouted " NO ! IT CAN'T BE ! IM THE QUEEN! THE QUEEN ! I DON'T WANT TO DIE LIKE THIS !" Sapphire just ignored the impure core's cry of agony. " Well you should have thought about that, before you control Kiko's body."Sapphire replied not caring for the core.
"Good now sing something, it's the only way to end this." The snake informed again.
"Yeah I know, it's time finish this." Taking a deep breathe Sapphire closed her eyes as she sang a soothing melody.
After her singing Sapphire opened her eyes, everything was back to normal. Kiko's sleeping body was back to normal, the stab wound healed, her sword was gone, the bees on the floor disappeared as while as her steel feathers that held Kiko in place, soon started to dissolve as well, and finally, her cuts and bruises start to heal.
Leaving the area completely spotless, before leaving Sapphire spotted a purple marble on the floor. " That's it, little one. The core, quickly eat it and get out of there."
Sapphire picked up the marble and looked at it in disbelief, "Wait ?, I'm supposed to eat this ?! But why ?" she heard a sigh in her head.
"Because if you don't eat it you won't be able to have the power to teleport home and the core will regain it's power again, which will cause more work for us. " With a sigh, she knew at this point she had no other choice.
"Ok, fine, I'll eat it. But I hope it doesn't kill me." Putting the core in her mouth and swallowing it, Sapphire made a face and said in her mind," Urk !? Gross! it has no flavour! "
The snake replied, Hey, at least it's better than having flavour, right? , Sapphire stayed silent for a while, "True."
"Now that the mess is cleaned up, time to see how much percent of power you got from the core."
Sapphire got excited, as she listens for her to the results for her hard work. "And you scored 1 % and you have 99% more to go." Sapphire just froze in disbelief, "1% ?! I nearly got my ass whooped, got stung by possibly hundreds and thousands of bees and wasted an hour in finally defeating it, and you're telling me that I only got 1% !?" said Sapphire pissed. "Calm down, no one said it was an easy job. But at least when you go back to your world it's all worth it."
" I guess if you have it that way. " Sapphire replied, "But I'm only doing this to go home safely."
After running back, she heard the children's cry in fear. Quickly, she saw probably one of Kiko's minions flying round the children who were running around in fear. She was able to spot Leo hissing at the bee as he tried to protect the small crowd behind him. Before the Sapphire could swoop in to save them, the bee was about to sting a girl with red hair pigtails. But Reiji swooped down and caught the bee with his fedora, saving the day. Sapphire just leaned against a wall and smile, of course, this happened as well in the anime plot, she almost forgot. After hearing they're saying their goodbye to the bee. She realized that the bee was flying in her direction with its stinger showing, wasting no time Sapphire threw a steel feather from her wings and spare the bee right through the thorax. Finally knowing that the coast was clear of danger, her wings disappeared. Sapphire turned around to face the bee, watching it fade into dust along with her steel feather. Once it was completely dissolved, she ran back to her group.
" Ahh! , Onee-chan welcome back !" greeted the girl who almost got stang earlier.
" Yeah, I'm back." she replied with a smile.
" Hey, Sapphire-chan you got a cut on your face." Otoya noticed as it started to bleed. Shocked Sapphire touched her cheek and looked there was indeed a cut on her face.
" Here I have a band-aid for it, I'll help you put it on."
Staying still, Otoya carefully applied the bandage on Sapphire's cut and gave a small peck on her cheek as he chanted " Pain, pain please go away." Sapphire was shocked on feeling a pair of lips on her cheek, which caused her to blush.
" What-!?" was all she could say in shock.
" Hehe...It's a get well spell that I learned when I was a child." Otoya explained with a toothed smile.
Tokiya sighed from his roommate's innocence. " Anyways, how did you get such a cut ?"
" Um...after going to the little girl's room, I heard the children's screaming and I ran since as I got worried while running I ignored the tree branches that I knocked into and probably got cut there." Sapphire lied, hoping that Tokiya bought her story. Tokiya brought a hand up and massaged the bridge of his nose. " At least be careful next time." He replied with a hint of worry in his tone. Sapphire smiled that he cares about her safety.
" Now that's over, why not let all of us hug Sapphire to get well everyone?" Reiji replied.
" WE WILL !" shouted Otoya and the children.
" W-wait…I..."
But before Sapphire could protest any further, she was tackled by hugs from all of the children, Otoya-senpai, Reiji-senpai and even Leo ( who was on top her head.), feeling proud she hugged them back and looked as Tokiya-senpai was smiling in the distance. After giving everyone candy and packing things up after the shoot and saying their final goodbyes to the children, they got back into the car and drove them home. As they got Sapphire ready for the next shot, looked out of her car seat. She smiled happily as she stroked Leo's soft fur as he sleeps soundly. And re-thought, "Oh well, I guess I might protect the people here in this world as well, while I'm at it. It's my job here after all, as their guardian." She thought happily as she lightly started to drift off to sleep, as she could only hear the car engine purr.
Well, that's it for this chapter until next time~! Do forget to do Reviews as well~!
