Chapter 20
-Moments ago before the screaming sound-
"So…. What makes you leave your dear home? Because of Kyle? I didn't know you have such a passion towards him." Lily asked, or teasing at Gakupo, who only shook his head and sigh.
"Come on Lily, things had been really heretical after you left. Kyle also had been saddened over the news of your sudden leaving without reasons…"
"Oh? I thought both of you should be celebrating of my leaving? Since Kyle looks so keen to run away from me when he first saw me again….."
"Well, it must be due to reflexes. Have to really admit to you, I also thought of getting far away when you had pulled my hair….."
"Oh~, I see…. So I was that likable by both of you? Wow…."
"So why did you leave? I mean, what really happen that you are in urgent to find your friend?" Couldn't help but curious, Gumi asked Gakupo, repeating Lily's questions, which somehow stopped their mindless bickering.
"…Gumi, right? Well, if something bad happen to Rin-chan or Len-kun, what will you do?" Instead of telling Gumi his answers, Gakupo posted a question to her.
Thinking over his questions, she knew what he was getting at. But still….
"How do you know something bad had happen? I mean is….." Seeing him holding up his hand to attempt to cut off her words, she stopped.
"Like I just said to Lily, things had been heretic. After she left, Kyle's caretaker had been changed again. Or rather, he had a man-servant this time round."
"Ohh…..he had a man-servant to replace me? Was he cute?" Lily asked, which earned a laugh from Gakupo.
"Well….. I would say he looks decent. He was at least 10 years older than both of us, and he was fun. Every time when lessons were bored, he would made tons of excuses for Kyle to leave the…..house. And we will go to the town nearby to play almost the whole day. There was once we had play a Knight game, with Kyle be the king, while me and Piko will pledge our service to him. Those were best moments…" Staring to the airspace, Gakupo fond over the pleasure memories he had for that day.
"So…..is Piko that man-servant you just mention? It seems to me he is a troublemaker like you." Lily said, with her arms crossed.
Laughing over at her comments again, he continued, paying no heed to it. "Yup, he was a good friend, but everything was over since six years ago….."
Looking at Gumi, who was a complete outsider to this matter, he explained a little detail. "You see, Kyle and I live at two different places, and the only time when we really meet up is when we sneak out home to enjoy some fun, or learning swordsmanship from a wander, Yuuma. Since we had graduated from him, we only meet up twice a week to play.
"Six years ago, when I was waiting at the usual spot, my half-sister, Neru, came to me. She was older than me by at least 10-years, and we seldom contact each other unless, she came to visit father during occasions. Since she was a full fledge Knight, she happen to know the bad news about Kyle that she thought I should be informed about it. Because I had a nightmare about Piko's disappearance, I asked her about him, too."
"Nightmare…..? You mean a voice saying, 'there is no such person as Piko, and everything happened is just a dream'?" Gumi asked, feeling dreadful of what was going to come…..
Staring at her with disbelieving looks, Gakupo almost sputtered, "How do you know? It was almost the exact words that I had heard about it!"
"Tell you later, but what happen next? Your sister said there is no such person or man-servant around at all? Or something else?" Pressing on the answers, she hoped that the answer wasn't what she had expected…
"Yeah, Neru-nee told me there is no man-servant by the name of Utatane Piko exists. And Kyle never had a man-servant before."
~.~.~.~.~
"Bingo! I finally found it!" Smiling happily, Kaito proceed to retrieve his bag and the clothes, which he had changed quickly. After five wrong rooms and going down for at least six floors, he found a room filled with not only his luggage, but full of weapons and some armors. Along the way he had notice the strange, uneasiness air filled all over the corridors, and he almost wanted to left without taking back his items. But since now it's an autumn period, and weather is also quite chilly, it would be wise to find some extra clothings instead wearing of a single, thin white shirt which couldn't protect him from cold.
Wrapping his neck with his brown scarf to cover the flower-shaped burned mark, he picked up his belongings, where he stopped at the empty sheath. I wonder how's Rin doing now. He thought. I missed my sword now….
Tucking the white sheath at his belt, beside his knife, and fastened his black hooded clock, he did a last check and was about to leave…..
"Oh, there was a kid here. How wonderful."
Snapping his head to face the voice , he saw a woman with extremely long dark orange hair with red eyes, wearing the most revealing clothes that barely covered anything, which showing off her pale-white skin and her huge breast. Gliding in the air towards him, she said seductively, "Oh my, what a handsome boy. Do you want to play with me?"
As she held out her hand trying to touch him, he ducked away from her and ran to the entrance of the room. "Sorry, maybe next time, I'm in a hurry now."
Without waiting for any replies, he ran out of the room and turned right, trying to get far away from her. Suddenly, strong gust of wind blown against his legs, which he almost tripped down by it. Without stopping, he forced himself to continued running. However he stopped abruptly, staring at the woman who should be behind him moments ago.
"Get out of my way!" He yelled, releasing balls of crimson flames at her, who defended them effortlessly with her wind shield.
"Oh my, what a bad temper child… I shall teach you a few lessons on how to treat a lady, after all those ugly knights knew how to keep me pleasure before becoming my food… it was delicious." The woman said, revealing her pointed teeth.
"Well…I think I know a lady when I saw one. To me you are just an old, ugly hag." Kaito replied, while preparing his water spell. "Aqua Edge!"
Laughing at his useless attempts, she block again with her wind spell. "I think you didn't learn you lesson well, child. I know wind element spell, so instead of using a stronger fire spell on me, you used water spells, which is weak towards wind element. Now if you give up quietly…."
"For you information, water spell is used as my power up. What comes after the water spells will be tons better than dealing you, the Wind Demon, with my useless fire magic I had been using till date." Smirking, he continued to fire blades of water at her while concentrating another element magic on his left hand. Soon, the narrow corridor was filled densely with water vapours and some water puddles.
Amused by his answers, the she-demon laughed. "So you know I'm not a human… how interesting. But your puny little weak magic can't touch me at all. We demons know higher grade of magics than you…even the rumor greatest Mage in Igins, was it Iwain? Or Eddy? Can't even defeat me!" She laughed, and breaking her shield, tired of in defense mode. Raising her right hand, she cried, "Come fore and aid me, the power of darkness!"
Before she could completed her spell, spikes of icicles piercing her skin, drawing bluish-black blood from her arms. "What….?" Before she could register, more icicles were sent into her direction, which she darted away and stepping onto a small puddle of water.
Suddenly, the water freezes, trapped her from moving anywhere. Staring at the blue hair boy, who was now with his eyes closed and being surrounded in a lightest blue hue of aura.
"ICE MAGIC? How can this be?" Exclaimed over the fact there was someone who knew the lost magic element, ice, she stared at the teen in front of her. Saying nothing, he concentrated his power to further encase the demon into the ice, who screamed in pain before completely freezes into an ice statue.
Letting out a breath, Kaito lower down his hands, slowly dispersed the power he had used just now. "Should have used fire magic better…..but I can't afford to go berserk if I have used too much of that power….."
Muttered to himself, he turned to the opposite direction and began to walk away wearily. Using two elements magic, Water and Wind, to combine and become the third element magic, Ice, proves to drain him a lot. Especially it was the first time he tried that magic out from the theories he had read so far.
"Teru-san will sure kill me for using his magic without his permission…" Laughing bitterly at himself, he tried to use the wall as a support to move fast. No matter how cold the weather was going to be, he couldn't risk the fact that she may break out the ice trap any moment…..
Sharp, shooting pain ran through his left leg, which he yelled and fell onto the ground. Trying to sit up and stand, he found that it was one long icicle that had pierce through his leg. Before he could pull it out, a foot stepped onto the icicle hard, drawing more blood from the wounds. Unable to bear the pain any longer, he screamed.
"Well, that's a nice scream. A good punishment for someone who messed with me." The demon, who had broken out from the ice cage, said while continued to push the ice spike further down, drawing more cries of pain from him. "Anyway….. you are dangerous to our kind, and even more so to lord Lucifer….. for someone who knows the lost magic."
Raising her hand in front of Kaito, with reddish- black, evil feeling aura gathering on her hand. "Good bye handsome boy."
As quick as a blink, Kaito pull out his knife and with a swift momentum, he threw the knife, piercing through her hand that was in front of him. Taken aback, she stepped away from him with a hissed of pain.
As soon as her foot left that ice spike, Kaito bit his scarf hard, before started pulling it out. With that done, he removed his scarf and did a quick wrapping over his wounds to prevent further blood loss. Damn it! I let my guard down! He thought, while with the wall as his support, he stood up weakly.
All the time while he was treating the wounds, the demon had pulled out the knife and staring at him furious. "Again, and again. You disturb me from giving you a final blow. And brats like you never know how to appreciate my beauty…."
"Sorry to interrupt you, but I saw lots of girls & ladies during my travelled, and they are hundred times prettier than your fake beauty. You used humans' souls to maintain a beauty that doesn't exist. And that's what I call—Ugly." Smirking at her with a confidant face, Kaito silently calculated the amount of power he could draw out, to immobile the enemy in front of him. He had loss quite a lot of blood, and now he felt slightly light-headed. And the time wasted here also meant that Tonio, or even him, might be back any moment…..
"Cura!" "Fire Ball!"
Suddenly, huge balls of crimson flames shooting out from his back, and aimed towards the demon, who had dodged the attacks instead of blocking like she had done moments ago. At the same time, a soft, glowing white light surrounding him, and he could feel the tiredness, along the pain on his leg, was slowly receding.
"What….?" Looking behind, he saw two blonde kids standing there, with the girl holding out her white staff, and the white crystal within shone brightly. The boy, on the other hand, held up his bow with the arrows aiming at the demon.
"Len and….. Rin?"
Aww….. who saw that coming? =D Now I wonder where is all the Kagamine fans who were reading this(you know who you are~) had gone to...? They are soooo going to miss the fun soon... Not that i care =P
And added a little, for teasing purpose Kaito X Gakupo from the courtesy of Lily~ XDD seems to me she ships everyone with... everyone...
