It was Sunday again, and I was at a restaurant with the host club. There was no fooling around, no one was being annoying, and everyone just looked either at their cups, or were quietly talking among each other.
"Kira…"
Will said in a soft voice. I didn't look at him, I hadn't slept in three weeks and everyone could tell. Even the Ootori was being kind, well more sensitive than usual. "Well everyone, I have to leave. Kira, if you need anything, just come over alright?" She squeezed my shoulder. I didn't react. The rest did, and said their goodbyes. I just sat immobile in my chair.
"Kira-chan, you want some cake?" Honey offered but Kaoru interjected. "That's the third time you've offered Honey-senpai, I don't think Kira wants cake right now." Everything was muffled, and I didn't want to do anything related to the club, but I had to be with them. "Here is your vanilla coffee, with scones mam. Please enjoy." The smell of vanilla coffee and cigars wavered in the air and my eyes began to water. Streams of tears came down my red streaked cheeks.
I was known as the most rutheless agent in the base. I had killed hordes of people, children, women, the disabled. Those who wanted to be gone and never be found, I was the one responsable in doing the task. No job was to grusome, nothing was taken as a second guess. I used to be emotionless, thoughtless, cold, and a monster. Yet, this passing of a singular human being was my distrution, the rage inside me of the killer was waiting to be spilled. I have changed.
"Kira."
Will put his hand on my shoulder and I stood up. "I'm going to wash my face." My feet felt heavy, and my head was pounding with every step I took. Everything around me was a blur and I walked into the men's restroom as I splashed cold water on my face.
I looked in the mirror and looked at my sleep deprived face. "Get yourself together Kira. It's not like you have anyone else to lose." I heard the door open as I continued to splash water on my face. "Kira." I knew that deep voice. I looked up with water dripping down my face at the tall senior.
"Mori-senpai, I...just wanted to wash up. I'll see you back at the table." I walked passed him and he grabbed my arm. I stood there with my hair in my face. There was a moment of silence and then he pulled me into a warm embrace.
"You're really strong Kira, we are here for you no matter what." Tears welled up in my eyes and he softly stroked my back as I cried some more unshed tears. "Mori-senpai, thank you." I then pecked him on the cheek and left the restroom. When I had walked out I had totally forgotten that he knew me as a guy. My face flushed slightly and it's like if I could feel steam coming from my ears and my face. I walked then casually back to the table and looked at Will with a calm face. "We have to get going as well. I have things to do and don't want to keep all of you from your busy days. Please excuse us." I grabbed Will. "Wait...what? Kira what's going on?" We went out of the restaurant and my face burned considerably.
"I just had a stupid moment happen to me, but honestly, I can't grieve right now. There are lot's of things to do...I have to at least have to get some things off my mind." I started to walk when Will grabbed my hand. "Kira….you're doing a lot of things right now, the guys invited us to drink something because you were so busy..Do you not remember?" I paused and put my hands into my pockets. "No, now come on, we don't have all day." He sighed.
"You never relax." I looked over my shoulder. "What was that?" He jumped. "Nothing!" I rolled my eyes. "Such a pain.." I mumbled.
At Ouran A Few Days later…
"Good job everyone, you may all leave for today. Soloists, please stay." I started to pack my things and sat down and waited for Wilbur to finish. "Alright and that will be done, I am hoping for a wonderful performance." The music teacher smiled and Will walked in my direction with his instrument at hand. "Wilbur!" Tamaki yelled as he rushed in our direction. "I'm going to wait outside, take your time Will, I'm in no rush." I left the room and looked at the twilight outside.
"Umm….excuse me….Kira-senpai?" I turned around and looked down to see a petite young girl who was very nicely dolled up with her makeup and such.
"Aria-kun, what can I do for you?" I softened my face and sat on the window sill to better look at her. "I...I was wondering...if you could help me with my duet." She twiddled with her fingers and stuttered. I smiled and nodded my head. "It would be a pleasure to help you my lady. Here are the day's when I am avaliable so just tell me when. I don't have a preference, whichever days are fine with you, I'll be fine with."
Her eyes sparkled and bowed. "Thank you Kira-senpai!" I nodded my head. "Kira! Let's go!" "I am starving!" I stood up and looked at Will walking with Kyoya, Tamaki, and Hachi. "I'm going with my brother gentlemen. Please excuse me," Hachi then walked up to me and I looked up at his blue purple eyes. He had a slightly cocky face when I looked at him. "Umm...excuse me…." We both looked down to see the girl smushed in between us with a hot face.
Hachi smiled. "I hope you don't mind practicing with another person as well. I would like to make this concert a memorable one." I looked at the tall exchange student leave as he waved his hand and walked away. "I apologize for that my lady." I said as I looked down at the young girl whose eyes were spinning and her face seemed red. "No it's fine! Goodbye!" She then left in a cloud of dust and I scratched the back of my neck. "Come on Kira, we have a lot to do." Will said with a sly smile and I rolled my eyes. We walked with our things towards the exit.
"Can we practice with you as well?" I turned back to look at Tamaki whose eyes were like glittering stars. I ran a hand through my hair. I don't care honestly, we can practice at my house then. I don't care. Will, send them my address, I don't feel like dealing with them right now." "Alright." He said and we walked home.
Friday….
"Let's go Kira!" Will was dragging me to the car waiting for us outside. "Hold up, you make me change into these swim trunks with a tank top, and a hoodie, not to mention flip flops. Where are we going?" He shoved me inside the front seat and he quickly sped off. "Where are we going Wilbur!" I narrowed my eyes as he smiled somewhere where we can all relax!" He then rammed the pedal and we speed through the streets.
When I wanted to talk, Will blasted music on the speakers and I frowned as I rolled down the window to let the breeze through my hair. We approached a large almost greenhouse type of building at the edge of the city. "Where are we?" I said as I looked around. "Come on!" He smiled as he took my hand and we walked inside.
Palm trees, birds, insects, and animals everywhere. It was strange, I could then hear the faint sounds of water in the distance. "Where…?" I stood with awe and took in all of the scents all at once. "Come on their waiting for us." I looked at Will as I raised my brow yet grinned a little. "Who could possibly be here?" We walked through a path and in the distance I could see non forest. The sounds of rushing water became closer and I wondered if there was a waterfall nearby.
I then heard the voices of people laughing. 'Those voices sound extremely familiar.' We reached the end of the path and there was a water slide and giant pool. "Glad you two could make it." I turned my head to see a shirtless Tamaki with a water gun on his shoulder. Then suddenly something hit my back and I immediately reacted by picking up Tamaki and running away. "Kira?! What are you doing?!" I looked at him and looked back at the twins staying still with a water gun in their hands. Placing him down, I looked at myself and my clothes were soaked. "It was just...water?"
"What else would you have thought it might have been?" Tamaki looked at me with curious eyes. "Oh those sly weasles." I narrowed my eyes as I walked heavily towards the twins. "You two…" I got close so just Will and them could hear me. "Never try me in battle, I might end your life if it needed to happen." They then stepped back as a gloomy aura surrounded them and then sprayed my face with water. "You're going to have to try harder to scare us Kira!" I stood up straight with water dripping on my face. "Here you go Kira." I looked at Haruhi who was dressed in shorts and a short sleeve hoodie.
"Thank you Haruhi, I'll get them sooner or later." I walked to a chair and looked at the Ootori who was writing away. "Seems like someone got preoccupied." I growled under my breath. "Shut up Ootori and mind your own business." There was another spray down my back and a dark aura grew larger around me.
I turned around to see Kyoya walking away with a water gun in his hands, he then turned around and smirked as a glare on his glasses appeared. "Think of that as a little warning from me to you." I narrowed my eyes as he aimed and sprayed water in my face from a good 20 feet away.
"Oh, you've done it now!" I clenched my teeth and then I felt a pull on my shorts. I looked down and I looked at Honey who had his ears covered by Mori. 'He used them…' I looked back at Kyoya who walked into the restroom and scowled. I then turned my attention to the tall senior who avoided eye contact as a small hint of pink under his eyes. Relaxing a bit, I "I apologize, I was just overwhelmed slightly." Honey took Mori's hands off and smiled. "It's ok Kira-chan! Do you want to see me play in the water with my cute floaty ring?" I ruffled his hair and nodded my head. Sure why not?" He then ran and cannonballed into the water as he waved his hands and I waved back with a small smile.
"Kira.." I regained seriousness, and looked at Mori who stared into my eyes. As he opened his mouth a cold gush of water reached my back. "Why you little foxes.!" I heard their peals of laughter and I saw in the corner a water gun and I grabbed it. To my surprise it was empty. I looked back at the twins with Will and Tamaki grinning their asses off as they drenched me completely.
"I see how it is. Wrong idea boys, especially you Will, I thought you'd have more common sense, but you're nothing but alkali." His face was surprisingly determined. "If you're so confidant Kira, why don't you invite all of us over to your house then if you're inviting some people over already." The twins smirked and I rolled my sleeves. "Is there something else?" I said. "You'll have to give a kiss to the person who wins."
I tensed a little and walked out of the shade of the umbrella as I took off my shoes. "Alright, I'll comply to your silly little rules. Now as for me what I would like is complete authority over your actions for a day. You'll be able to do whatever you please yes, but if I want you to do something, then you'll have to do it." I narrowed my eyes and the twins' faces seemed to turn a velvety red.
"Done deal!"
"What is is now that you idiots are planning on doing?" I looked at Kyoya who walked towards us again. "It's a game, them versus me." He stopped and chuckled a bit. "Alright men, spread out so we can get him!" Tamaki yelled enthusiastically. "Do you honestly think that you'll beat them? Do you think you have a chance, the odds are four to one. Honestly Kira.." I looked at him and grabbed another empty water gun. "Never, underestimate your opponent. You still seem to know nothing about me Ootori. Why not finish your game first before you enter a new one."
"GO!"
I gave a confidant smirk and easily avoided the water heading in my direction. Quickly dashing over the pool area, I filled up my water guns and turned sharply to look at my opponents. They were jaw dropped and I licked my tongue. "Tch.." I headed towards the twins and they aimed their guns at me while they tried to spray me, but they were too slow. I then flipped over them in mid air and drenched them with water. They fell and I smirked as I sensed Tamaki behind me.
"SIDELOCK SHOT!" He shot sideways and aimed for me, I did a butterfly flip out of the way and aimed for him as he shot and was meters away from my face. I then landed soundly on my feet, but he seemed to trip on a random banana peel and tumbled into a totem pole. I turned around and looked at Will in front of me with his water gun to me face. He had a sly smile on his face and I looked at him seriously. "Seems like I've won, so raise your hands and drop your weapons."
I inclined my head and slowly raised my hands. I could hear him chuckle and I smirked as I straight backflipped and kicked the gun away from his hands as I aimed my gun to his head and his eyes widened. "You should have known better." I closed his eyes as I pulled the trigger.
"Game.."
I looked at Kyoya who stared at me with a glare in his glasses.
"Set.."
I threw the guns to his feet and raised my head and held it high as I looked at him intimidatingly.
"Match."
"Honey senpai!" I looked at Haruhi and the rest of the club. Then saw a dark shadow past me and it was Mori who was running after Honey, but slipped on the same banana peel Tamaki had tripped on. "Mitsukuni!" I yelled as I ran and dived into the water while the others screamed my name. I swam into the water and just as I did, something shone brightly. I reached for Honey's hands and just as I did, it felt like I was being encased in an air bubble and I swam hard to get out of the current that dragged both of us in the dark abyss of the pool.
I controlled the water and shot out with Honey in my hands. I then put him on the floor and moved the water out of his lungs and he woke up coughing. "Mitsukuni….Mitsukuni...are you alright?" I held him as he looked up at me and nodded. "Thank god…" I hugged him and didn't let him go. "Mitsukuni…."
"Kira…."
I looked at him and he smiled as I brought him closer and then let him go.
"I'm glad you're safe." There suddenly was a crack of lightning in the distance and I stood up. "Mitsukuni..."
"Got it." We quickly moved and we got under the shelter of a nearby cabana. Rain quickly started to pour and my humidity thankfully dried my clothing, but my binder suddenly started to shrink. My chest started to feel tighter and tighter. I took off my sweater and pulled up my loose fitting shirt. "Great…" "Kira-chan are you alright?" I looked at Honey and then he looked at me with wide eyes as he saw me freeze water and turn it into an icicle.
In a swift motion I tore the fabric as it fell from under my shirt. "So Kira-chan…" I stood up and looked at the senior walking towards me. "This isn't just it senpai….You know nothing about me yet, and you cannot tell anyone about it please." Honey was no longer his cute self, but now took a more serious attitude and nodded. "Why did you keep this from us Kira-chan?" I sighed as I took a seat and folded my legs against my chest.
"Because I don't have a choice, it's complicated really." He then sat by me and we both engaged in a silent conversation. It wasn't strange, nor uncomfortable. I could feel him now understand what was going on. "So it was you...wasn't it.." I tilted my head and let a long breath out as I let my body go and morph. "Yeah." I looked at honey and his eyes lit up as he picked me up and I twitched my nose. "You can shift into animals?! That's so cool!" He snuggled me tightly and I shifted into small flying squirrel and perched on his shoulder. "The rain's stopped, we better go find the rest of the guys.
I climbed on his hair and then jumped taking flight as I morphed into a doe. "We don't have all day now do we? Let's go, their far away, and it's a pretty big place." Honey smiled and easily climbed on my back. "Hang on to my neck, and wrap your legs and feet against my body so you don't fall off.." I could feel his heart increase and his small hands grasp tighter
."Ok.."
I stepped out and smelled the air and there was a distant ringing. 'People?' My ears turned to the noise and I tilted my head. "What is it Kira-chan?" I looked at him and shook my head. "It's nothing, just make sure you're holding on tight." I huffed and quickly took off with my tracks slightly denting the ground surprisingly. I could smell two familiar scents, Haruhi…..and Mori…..
I slowed down to a stop and could hear rustling in the distance. The sounds of radios, and heavy boots. "Mitsukuni…" I shifted back into my human form and Honey's legs wrapped around my waist, and his arms over my neck. "They can't see me like this, I can sense Mori, and Haruhi are going to be in some trouble. Take this vine, and you'll reach them in time." I handed him a vine and he looked at me. "Will you explain everything to me Kira-chan?" I softened my gaze and kneeled on one knee. "To you yes, call me when you get home today, make sure Mori isn't with you.." I shifted into a jaguar.
"Kira…" I looked at Honey and he tightened his grip on the vine. "I want you to come to my house as your true self, please it is very important that you do." I growled softly and pushed him along. "Very well." He pursed his lips as a triumphant look on his face grew as he rapidly took off and swung on the vine. I turned around and I too lashed out to find Will.
He had a nice smell to him, and didn't have a single metal scent to him which was strange, but pleasant. I found him and he stared straight at me he then turned around and spread his legs as I could hear his stupid voice say. "I'll see you guys later." I then quickly picked him up and disappeared into the abyss of the jungle. "Where were you?" I jumped over a log and stayed quiet for a moment until I felt comfortable. "Honey, wants me to meet him at his house, as myself."
There was an odd silence. "So he knows…" I stayed quiet. "It might as well be. It's just three, well.. now four know of the seven that know." We reached the doors and Will got off as I shifted back into a human.
"Let's go.."
A few hours later...
I nervously got out of the car and Will walked in front of me as I held my head down. My white hair didn't change, and I didn't know why I felt the way I did. "It's just like when I revealed myself to Haruhi and the twins." I froze. Will stopped and I could hear his steps and then his shoes. "Kira." I just stared at my shoes.
"Kira.."
Will lifted my head with both of his hands and looked at me with kind eyes. "Everything is going to be alright, I'll be with you no matter what." He smiled and I scoffed as I took his hands away from my face. "Thank you, I'm glad I have you for moral support." Just as we started to walk, we were welcomed by Honey's grandfather. "My we have some guests today, please come in." We entered the house and Honey's grandfather looked at me curiously. "My, please excuse me, but might you have a brother?" I looked at the old man who looked healthy as a horse and smiled.
"No, it's me sir. I'm glad I could finally meet you not disguised." The old man smiled as he guided us through another area of the large traditional mansion that was Mitsukuni's home. He then stopped by a door and then opened it. "I hope the both of you are hungry, please stay for dinner." Will and I both looked at each other and nodded.
"It would be our pleasure."
Just as we walked in, it seemed like the family was already eating comfortably and dropped their utensils as we both walked in, all except for Mitsukuni. "Please excuse the interruption." Will and I bowed. "Please take a seat." I sat next to Chika who looked at me with a flushed face. "It's nice to see you again Chika-chan." I said with a small smile. "Do I know you?" He asked with a slight stutter.
"We have meet, as a matter of fact...we've sparred before.." He looked confused as fuck but I looked at the family as they all stared at me. "Mr. Haninozuka, it's nice to see you again sir, as well as you Mrs. Haninozuka, looking lovely as ever." The woman blushed as she dabbed her napkin delicately on her rosy pink lips. "I'm sorry…" Honey's father blinked quickly as he turned his head and asked with inquiry. "Who exactly are you? Could you be someone's sister I know by any chance? You look awfully a lot like...what was his name….Ah yes! Alexander Kira! Nice lad."
I chuckled a bit. "Why sir...Kira Alexander is me." Chika spit his water and the table was silent. "It seems like I have a little to tell you while we eat."
Some time later….
"So now you're here as a guard to the host club." I nodded my head and tugged at my hair. "Well I'll be damned. A woman beat me at a sparring match, Mitsukuni." We all turned our attention to the small little blonde enjoying a piece of strawberry cake. "Hmm?" He gulped it right down and turned his attention towards us. "Make sure you take care of your friend who is also taking care of you." I stood up and looked at Honey's father. "No sir..I can not afford someone under my protection to get hurt, nor defend me. It is strict agent policy.." "Kira….well...if you ever need help...You can always count on this family to help you. You have my upmost respect, and that's not something easily won young lady." The man smiled and stood up.
"I am grateful someone like you are friends with my son, both of them." I nodded my head and felt a nice warm feeling in my chest. "Thank you for the meal, please excuse us." Just as we headed out the door and I opened it Mori was outside the door with a stunned expression.
I felt my face grow warm as Will's touch on my shoulder became nonexistent and I looked at the tall stoic person in front of me. "M..Mori..senpai…"
Somewhere In Japan...
The mansion was dark, the place was isolated from any people. The youngest brother waited patiently. The eldest entered in his animal form and shifted back into a human.
"Erebos, it's good to see you again." Sutekh smirked showing fangs as he walked towards his brother and embraced him.
"Same for you." Erebos nodded as both men took a seat facing each other in the elegant study. The seriousness of the room quickly gained control and Sutekh leaned back observing his younger brother.
"The child…." Erebos asked tensely.
Sutekh leaned back as he ran a hand through his hair. "She lives, and is getting stronger."
Erebos scoffed at the stupid question as he stood up abruptly. "I would have thought so..Bah! We need to get rid of her quickly. It's been millennia since I have tested the strength of the divine guardian. It's only a matter of time before the perfect opportunity arrises."
Sutekh collectively and calmly pulled out a cigar and lit it up. "Don't get too in over your head brother. Our time has not come yet…
Erebos curled his hands as he looked at them and pursed his lips. "My fingers itch to end her pitiful life."
"Cool your temper Erebos, that's why you're going. I want you to finish her, and besides, you're the strongest one of the two."
Erebos turned sharply towards his brother and started walking in his direction laughing. "You tease me brother. But at least I got to see the pain in her face when I killed what was most precious to her. It brings me ecstasy just picturing her morbid expression, I want to bring her a pain worse than death."
Sutekh chuckled with his brother as he shook his head. "She's not even human, yet she acts like one."
Erebos plopped down as he also got a cigar and poured himself some wine. "You're lucky you got power from her brother."
"You idiot." Smirks "Anyways. I have no luck in finding her, and when I try to sense her, she disappears out of thin air. She must be casting a barrier."
Erebos stopped for a second as he roared and threw his chair back braking the fine woodwork. "Not possible! It must be the princes, they have limited access to earth, but they have been protecting her."
Sutekh sighed as he crossed his left leg over his right. "Cowards, they're hiding themselves."
Erebos then took another puff of the cigar as he blew it and the cloud of smoke formed two human forms. "I assure you brother that we don't have to worry about this one. She does not even know half of the power that she possesses. All we need now is for her to either get consumed by her Hēi'àn before the next solar eclipse, then we will rule for all eternity! This world and ours!" He then squeezed the two images as they dissipated into nothing.
"Honestly ,we have waited for centuries for this opportunity, why do we have to wait for the blue moon?"
"We need those six to love her, once they do, they'll do anything for her."
"It will happen, brother, but why wait? Why not make them and speed up the process?"
Sutekh sighed as he put out his cigar. "They have protection, I don't know how, but I can't reach them, and there's something else.."
…
…
There was silence as Sutekh looked at his younger brother.
"Don't tell me…." Erebos shook his head as Sutekh squinted his eyes.
"No…"
"Yes…"
Erebos shifted into his jaguar form and roared shaking the room.
Sutekh cackled and stood up as he ran his hand through his hair again. "Don't worry brother. Akemi and Masun are alive...well barely. Honestly I wouldn't consider them alive."
"If you're correct, they must still weak! Pitiful!"
Both brothers cackled.
"All we need is for her to break.."
