Staring at the mirror before her, Maria could help but feel disappointed with herself. Her eyes were already red from sobbing earlier. She felt low, she felt that she was weak, and on top of that, she thought that she acted rather childish earlier in front of the people that she was meant to impress.
However she thought way ahead of herself. Thinking that she can defeat anything and impress everyone with her 'mastered' skills, became cocky and reckless, resulting to her defeat. Defeat on the hands of her own 'sister' the very person she was modelled into. she then thought if she was defeated by the original then what is the purpose she has? Fighting was the only thing she knows how.
Other than that, she completely made fun of herself. 'acting' naughty and ridiculous in front of Nero then get her rear kicked was indeed embarrassing. She maybe a clone meant for combat, but she still has her dignity. Her original has it and she has it too.
"Oh man how am I going to face them again?" she flopped down to her bed and shield her eyes with her pillow.
"I must have acted stupidly. Now I realized that I gone way too off. Stupid me! Nero would think of me as a..." she stopped herself before a new set of tears burst in she has to cover it with her pillow. "Maria you are disgusting!"
Odd enough, emotions that she does not understand began to boil up within her, "What is with this stupid emotions? Urgh! Why did I even exist!"
Before she berates and depress herself further she heard the hiss of the door to her room, she took a glance to see the very person that defeated her moments ago.
"hey" Kyrie began.
"!" Maria instantly hid herself beneath her pillow and turned herself away from her.
Kyrie doesn't know if she going to giggle due to her childish action or felt pity because of what the clone felt. But regardless its the mixture of both. She sat down on the edge of the bed and glide her hands on the smooth fabric of the bedsheet.
"Your room looks kinda nice." She remarked looking at that cleanly neat room she was in. "It is reminding me of my room back home."
Maria still didn't answer as her embarrassment is still dominant in her feelings. She kept hugging her pillow tightly, her eyes were closed and refused to open, even stopping herself from turning herself to face Kyrie.
"About that..." the Songstress immediately cut to the chase "...It's okay."
"No! It's not!" she responded rather quickly at her. her cute voice muffled by the pillow.
"Come on first times were not actually perfect. When I began training, I always fell down ate the dirt many times that can count. Nero was already concern that I might get fat for eating too much dirt!" she chuckled hoping to cheer up her clone. She could feel that due to her childish behaviour, Maria is stifling her laugh.
The clone doesn't have those memories so she finds the story quiet amusing. The DNA she has memories up to the last battle in Fortuna. That was before Kyrie even began training herself to fight with her powers.
Seeing the tactic was working, Kyrie began to share some more of her stories. "I tried my best, my luck was really up either as well. I got beat up many times in spars with Lady. Can you imagine Lady is beating me up. I- I mean we have powers but Lady, a complete human kicked my butt!"
This time Maria turned to face her, the red puffs were still in her eyes but her face was already giving a small smile. She still hugged the pillow close to her body though. "Hey, don't worry, I will give you justice sister!"
"Do please!" Kyrie joked before both are sharing giggles.
"Tell me more sister!" Maria sat up now, and Kyrie was glad Maria was rather easily cheered up.
"Ok, ok settle down." The songstress raised her hands to slow down the now cheered up clone.
"Every other day, Vergil teaches me some new tricks to handle swords, combat skills and other things. He is a strict teacher mind you, I my first lesson with him was to break his unbreakable defences. It took me many tries to do it but it was either luck or he let himself go on purpose to break his defences. It was tiring, for the whole day, we done the same routine over and over. I mess up many times that a normal teacher would smack me for being an idiot."
"Hey, you are not an idiot big sister" Maria defended.
"When it comes to combat, I grade F!"
Maria visibly shudders, "I hate F!"
"You and me both" Kyrie probably has the shared memories with her clone regarding F marks back on school, probably also judges her combat prowess prior and after acquiring her angelic powers.
Kyrie then looked into the clone's eyes.
"Your lost today will not mark the end of everything. We all make mistakes, no one was perfect. treat every mistake as challenge to go forward and learn from it. I know you already know this because, well being 'me', but I feel like still telling to you. now, next time do you're best okay?" Kyrie held her hand with care and compassion. Maria's face blushed a little.
The clone smiled after staring at her counterpart's hands for a few seconds "Okay, for you I will do my best next time Big Sister!" she laughed and Kyrie laughed with her. at least the laugh and Kyrie's company made Maria's mood lighter now.
The room felt quiet after they shared a momentarily laugh. Faint hiss of the door made them look at the direction of the closed door of Maria's room. the clone felt the chill and Kyrie sighed.
"I think it's time for you to apologize about what happened earlier."
Maria quickly shook her head with a big 'NO!'
"Oh come on, you and I know that when a mistake is made, we must apologize right?" Kyrie couldn't help if the person is really same age as her or a ten year old girl. Either way she found herself enjoying poking Maria into this matter because of the clone's cute reaction. It very much reminded of herself when she was young.
"No, I'm not ready big sis!" the clone blocked herself from her counterpart by a pillow on her face.
"Oh come on!" without warning Kyrie jumped on her and began to attack Maria's weaknesses. Maria squealed as her senses became ticklish, she tried to fight back but the songstress were far more superior when it comes to 'bed wrestling' and alas, she raised her hand.
"Okay, okay! I will, just stop! Hahaha! Please... stop!" she pleaded between the laughs as Kyrie keep pressing her attacks but as soon as Maria was about to cry from sheer laughter she quickly backs away and ready herself from impending retaliation.
Catching her breath and stifling escaping giggles Maria looks at her directly in her eyes. hazelnut brown eyes met each other. Kyrie prepares herself, she knows that look very well and coming from the clone, it's going to be a fight.
She did not however expected what clone said next.
"Wow, big sister! No wonder Nero never wins at bed. You are really strong. I know we shared memories but experiencing it first hand, god!" she said this as if she was high on pleasure or just achieve a high level orgasm of sorts. Kyrie was flushed and blushing immediately.
"HUH? Don't get the wrong idea! I'm not really that strong!" she replied quickly but the clone completely turned the tables around.
"Oh? Really? I have memories of it, but I am really curious about what 'he' taste like. You know..." Maria's tone was seductive yet naughty and Kyrie could help but feel embarrassed and freaked out. "... my mind was haunted by those... mmmm... memories and the back of my head is saying that I should try..." she was cut off when Kyrie went wide eye.
"No! You are not! Stop!"
"We, could..." she moves close to her counterpart who simply froze from the spot. Their lips were inches from each other. The songstress could literally feel the hot breath of her clone. "...Share..." Maria almost moaned out the word, it was so sexy that Kyrie didn't realize she have that kind of level of sexiness or seductiveness. She always thought to herself as a simple woman whom men would not even look at her figure because she lacks the asset. Only Nero and Nero alone took her and give in. now that she thought about it and seeing the clone's action she found another trait she never she has.
A sense of urge within Kyrie saying to push her head and let her lips met the clone's. let her taste the same lips she has. Let her experience something taboo to her. it was her first time after all, first time kissing a fellow woman. on top of that she was kissing the very exact replica of herself.
Resisting the urge Kyrie stuttered "S-s-share!? N-no, no, no!" she frantically shook her head in futile attempts to shake off the clone that was close into her face but failing miserably. The clone kept her face as close as possible eagerly teasing the songstress to her hearts delight, but she was also feeling the urge of doing it here and now. Being Maria, she doesn't care, she knows Kyrie's taboos but she was not Kyrie so kissing her won't be a problem to her unlike Kyrie.
"Well..." Maria tilted her head, her arms began to wrap Kyrie who went stiff. Their breast were kissing each other now, a few millimetres between their lips. "...If can't have Nero... perhaps..." she moves her head to Kyrie's neck, brushing the lips to her own weak spots. The songstress moan softly but she was still frozen solid. "...I can have you." she went back toward her face and stared lustfully.
"This is not the outcome of this talk I wanted to happen!" Kyrie closed her eyes but then realized that resistance is futile now. There was no turning back, she can't escape, she can't resist, the urge of her mind is telling her to throw her taboos away and taste the pleasure with the same gender as her.
'Damn it all!' her mind followed the urge and began to attack her adversary's soft lips.
Maria momentarily felt the loosening of the frozen muscles of the songstress before their lips crashed softly. Kyrie was aggressive and began to control the kiss which Maria was thrown of guard. The clone was in for the ecstasy of pleasure, her eyes almost rolled back of her head and her lower region quickly became soaking wet. She never experience this level of sensation before and it was driving her insane.
Kyrie pushed her down on the bed and began to tug the clone's shirt upwards revealing her bare breast to her. her dandy hands began to massage them earning a moan from the clone beneath her. she responded by kneeding on Kyrie neck earning the same soft moan from her.
Even though engulf in pleasure, Kyrie is still struggling to get her head around the fact that she was making out and pleasuring the same person who shares similar DNA, traits, voice, even sensations. It's like having sex with yourself or giving new meaning to the term masturbation which by the way she tried once.
"Ahhh! Big sister!" Maria hugged her tight and close to her and Kyrie immediately adjusted herself so that she did not knock her own winds out as Maria experience her very first orgasm. Her muscles were tense, her legs were shaking, and lower regions were hot.
Not wanting to end for her, Kyrie glided her hands beneath her underwear and began gliding and stroking her private parts making the clone shudders, and moans softly. Her thighs began to squeeze Kyrie's hands but she made sure that her fingers did not fully go inside of her.
"Put it in big sister, I want to experience it." Maria pleaded but Kyrie shook her head.
She raised her soaked fingers and said "I don't want your first time to be my hand. I wanted you to experience the 'real thing' first." her tone was beginning sound like a real big sister to Maria's ears.
"Okay, but please..." she held Kyrie's head and whispered hotly into her ears. "...more."
Walking back into the living quarters everyone sat back at the couches and finished what was left of the drinks Maria served earlier. Jack was now occupied filing reports on his personal tablet while Trish and Lady were taking selfies like teenagers. Vergil has his hands on his forehead rather irritated to each clicking sound of Trish's phone. Dante was lying on the couch like a boss as usual and Nero was staring at the pieces of his prized Red Queen.
The young devil hunter was examining the laser cut from the blade of the sword.
"It was precise. And odd that it was still warm."
Dante looked at him "Well, that's what you get when you cross blades with a lightsaber. Dude, you know that thing can cut all human made weapons."
"But they were going too far, I can't just let her get beaten."
Vergil looked at him "Well, you Kyrie got beaten up many times before. I am talking about the real combat scenarios, not the spars she usually participates in. how is this different?"
"..." Nero looked down for a moment and said nothing anymore still though he looked disappointed since one of his prized weapons were destroyed so Vergil offered to help.
"I can help make a new one. however your powers will be important to it."
"Really? Well thanks I guess"
Jack looked to them as he was listening. "My apologies for my clone ruining your weapon, I as responsible for this mess, you have my authorization to access to the military grade materials and equipment you need to re-forge the Red Queen."
Thinking of Maria, Nero groaned internally. This day was the weirdest one in his life so far, Kyrie got herself a 'instant twin sister', the real life existing lightsaber, and those said weapons cutting his into pieces with no effort.
"!" Nero sense something from inside Maria's room but it wasn't danger. His devil bringer arm began to glow catching the attention of everyone.
"What's happening?" Lady asked as she stared at the glowing arm.
"I don't know but..." Nero trailed off, clearly doesn't want to know the answer yet but the back of his mind telling him that something really, really 'interesting' is happening in Maria's room right now.
"Is the rooms here sound proof?" Trish asked also catching Nero's thoughts. a devilish smirk was written on her face as Jack wondered why when he looked at her.
"Yes, why?" the general raised a brow.
"Nothing, just asking"
Vergil also sense power emitting from the room, it was a different 'kind' of power, a power he hasn't felt since back at the aircraft carrier back then in Fortuna, a power he had alongside Lady. He doesn't know whether he was going to be freaked out, felt weird, or awkward but he ignored it completely by looking away and crossing his arms before leaning back to the couch with a sighed.
Dante, however being Dante, he voiced out the feeling everyone has right now.
"Going to uncharted territory!" the words were bad enough, he then added a whistle that made everyone glared at him at an instant.
The general knew that if this keeps on, Dante would beaten into blood pulp so he loudly cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. The words he said made Dante sat up from his position and lean back on the couch similar on how he was back at his office.
"Anyone wants pizza?"
