'W' had just laid down to go to bed when his phone rang. Groaning, he answered it.
"What?!" He snapped.
"WOULD YOU MIND FUCKING TELLING ME WHY THE HELL YOU KILLED YOUR FATHER?! LUCAS COULDN'T TAKE THE NEWS AND HE'S IN THE INFIRMARY AS OF NOW!" Kuro's voice roared over the line.
W blinked, then shot straight up, "What?"
"DON'T 'WHAT' ME! YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I WAS RIGHT ON THIS MATTER! HELL, ACCORDING TO THE FACT THAT THE NEWSPAPER WAS IN SHREDS ON HIS BED, I'D SAY THE GUY HAD A FUCKING MENTAL BREAKDOWN!"
"I- I'm sorry, okay? I just thought-" W winced as he was cut off.
"I GODDAMN TOLD YOU THIS WAS A BAD IDEA! THEN YOU HAVE TO FUCKING GO OFF AND NOT LISTEN TO ANYTHING THE HELL I HAVE TO SAY, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
W sighed, and ran a hand through his hair, before saying something that stopped Kuro dead cold in her rant.
"None of Nemesis' cronies were killed by you or your men. They are all still alive, and in the next week, they'll be at the Palace, and they'll be attacking full force. Start training the others." W said, before hanging up, and laying back down to go to bed.
His phone started ringing off the hook, but W simply hurled it at the wall, where it shattered, and cut off the noise.
"And... who's your little informant?" Bao raised an eyebrow at his sister as the group- minus Julian, Lucas, and Sophie- met out in the Palace Courtyard.
"None of your business." Kuro snapped back.
Bao bit his tounge from snapping back.
Christina spoke up, "So... we train double everyday."
"Right. So what are you brats waiting for?!" Kuro snarled, "Get to it!"
Everyone scrambled into action, none of them wanting to make the elder Blackheart any more angry.
Kuro watched from her office window as the Bladers all trained, pushing themselves to their fullest extent. Behind her, Sophie, Lucas, and Julian stood.
"Julian, Lucas, listen to me carefully." Kuro began.
Both men straightened.
"In two days, the enemy will attack. You two's job is to keep Sophie safe. I don't want a damn thing to happen to her- I don't want a hair on her head misplaced. Got it?" Kuro turned around, fixing Julian and Lucas with a black glare.
Both Julian and Lucas nodded.
"If it means making sure that my brother's dying wish is seen through, you can count on me." Lucas growled.
"And to avenge a fallen ally's death, I will see to it to the end." Julian agreed.
Kuro smiled, softly.
She didn't doubt either man's promise.
Two nights later, Kuro stood outside on the steps of the Amazon Palace, her eyes darting around, keeping an eye on her whole circle, watching, listening.
At that moment, she heard a sound. It was quiet, but definetly there.
Kuro narrowed her eyes as a doberman stepped from the shadows- no not one...
Three.
Kuro growled, realizing these beasts would be under Damian's control.
On another side, a tiger stepped forwards.
Slowly, all in front of Kuro, animals emerged. Snakes... wild dogs... wild cats...
Practically, any animal that was the beast of a certain Bey.
Kuro growled, and almost instantly, two wolves were on either side, each of them snarling, growling, and tense with the anticipation of a fight.
"Bao." Kuro whispered.
Bao stepped out from behind a pillar, and with him, a wolf.
"Kakeru, Kyoya."
Kakeru came from the shadows, a tiger at his side. Kyoya jumped from the top of a statue, and a lion walked up to his side.
"Nef, Nile."
Both siblings came from inside the Palace, and birds and snakes swarmed the two.
As Kuro continued, to call out names, it became apparent that her group greatly outnumbered the enemy's.
But looks can be decieving, A small voice popped up in Kuro's head.
Shut up, Kuro told it.
Then, without any warning, Damain's doberman's lunged, and all hell broke loose.
From the shadows, 'W' watched the fight break out. Physically, animalistic, and Bey battles. He growled, counting over and over, realizing that three were not involved.
"Julian, Lucas..." W whispered, closing his eyes as he waited a moment, "Keep her safe. Please."
Then, in the blink of an eye, W had disappeared.
Me: One more chapter! And if you haven't figured out who 'W' is... He's standing beside me.
W: I am?
Me: *sweatdrop* Honestly...
