"Now prepare to die."

I said it to Maria while pointing Miguel´s lost wife Beretta.

Maria was looking at me..., no, she was looking at this Beretta.

What is it?

"A-a... ahah- ahh"

"In the verge of dying you laught, what is it?"

"That old man asked you to revenge her lost wife, right?" Maria´s voice was weak.

"Yes." I replied coldly.

"I see..."

"But."

"?" Even in the state of hers right now, she opened her eye a little.

"I think you knwo this, but i was the one who killed her..."

Still lying down, she was looking at the sky.

"Well i got my revenge, so i can die happily."

"Revenge?" While holding Miguel´s lost wife Beretta, i was perplexed at her words.

"Ahh..." After sighting, she said:

"But you still have one fight left Kinji."

"What do you mean?"

"You´ll see."

"Also, as your enemy, i still have a word." Even in that state of hers, her face drew a weak smile.

"..." There are no enemies around, so what does she means?

"After blowing up that school, my allies were aware of my situation, meaning whetever one of our bases get destroyed, the other bases will know, then reinforcement will go right to that place."

"You´re bluffing."

But i know she wasn´t.

"I know you are a guy who can make the impossible possible, but ganbatte(Good luck, you can do it etc...) Kinji."

"I won´t let you."

...

This unknown voice that the three of us heard, now looking at the aurora skies.

Even if the voice was unknow, her presence was known, after all, she was the one who was following us, that presence when i looked at the sky.

I saw particles of fire gathering around from where we were, the temperature of my body getting warmer...

Then those particles started to collide between themselves, making a female figure of a girl, almost the same height as aria.

But the particles were "drawing" to this silhouette ears and a fox tail.

After 4.35 second, the true identety of this mysterious girl that was following me and Reki was now visible.

The color of the skies were more intense than before, then she is a deity.

The small figure with red hair as red as the fire that was around that Butei´s school, the fox tail has the same color, her hair only goes to her neck, but it´s a little messy, not as messy as Maria but still.

Adding to this, were her raiments, the major part was black, but the finishing parts like sleeves were black, plus her top raiment only goes to her elbow.

To conclude was her Miko´s boots, wearing black socks while the shoes were red.

Overall, she was a cute diety, showing the image of a goddess.

At least she´s not wearing my Butei´s high girl´s uniform.

"Aurea..." Maria said it nonchalantly.

While Maria was looking at the new person here, Aurea, this Fox Girl was looking at her the same way, although i could see some anger deep in her red eyes.

"14 years ago..."

In that silence, Maria started to speak.

"Mister Miguel Angelo found his love, the love came in the name of Lady Elizabeth, her last name? Even the Lady herself didn´t know."

"Mister Miguel Angelo was a well known Mercenary and Assassin, while on the other hand, Lady Elizabeth was simply a burglar, but she had the skills other burglar didn´t have it, and in order to live, Lady Elizabeth decided to be a Hitman, in which Lady Elizabeth turned out to be successful..."

I were listenning to her story, i felt like i need to hear this, therefore, i continued to let her speak.

"Then one certain in a certain city of Europe, the two met by pure "coincidence", as both of them were on a job, although Lady Elizabeth didn´t want to contiue to be a Hitman, Miguel was different..."

"On that night, Lady Elizabeth had to assassinate a 15 years old boy, the son of some important person, after reaching the final point where Lady Elizabeth could finish the job, Lady Elizabeth decided not to kill him, but the target was not a normal person, he took out a gun from a hidden place and when was about to shoot, Mister Miguel Angelo who was hired as a security guard that night killed him like it was something normal, kids, parent, animals, it doesn´t matter."

"Lady Elizabeth asked "How can you do that like it was nothing?" in which was replied with a "As if i care about it" by Mister Miguel Angelo."

The image of now is totally different from this one.

""I got hired to kill 4 Men that were nearby, i killed them, then i saw you with your doubts, so i followed you", after sighing, mister Miguel Angelo said "Don´t let your eyes fools you.", but his own eyes were already "fooled" by hers."

"But Lady Elizabeth eyes were not "fooled", because of that expression of his that was craved in her own head, even so Mister Miguel Angelo decided to go with his already "fooled" eyes and followed her, after that she retiredm that job, even so he continued to follow her, she decided to leave peacefully, even so he continued to follow her."

"Sick of this, Lady Elizabeth asked "Why are you following me?", "Because i can´t get my eyes of you" Mister Miguel Angelo replied, then a feeling that have never happen inside her chest, became real, what was that, that weapon called Love?"

"Was Lady Elizabeth in love? Lady Elizabeth let him following her, maybe that was what she wanted, why did she let him? Lady Elizabeth was not afraid of Mister Miguel Angelo, so why?"

"After thinking for a shor time, with a smile as beautiful as roses, "Only if you gain feelings." came out from her mouth."

"Then in each trip they made, the more their love grow, and of course, they became lovers, Mister Miguel Angelo knew he coudn´t live without her, Lady Elizabeth showed him her Beretta with her name on it, in other words, no secrets, trust and love."

"One day, they decided to go to this wonderful land, they met a deity called Aurea, the Fire Fox."

"Although Lady Elizabeth and Aurea became the closest friends the have ever had, the couple decided to show that Fox what life for humans was."

"Time and time passed, until..."

Then after a brief moment, and with a normal voice, Maria the speaker of this history said:

"That day that changed their lifes came."

"5 Years ago, on certain land, on a certain day, on a certain hour, on a certain place..."

"There was a girl with 14 years old that needed to do something, that girl trained herself just for that day, that girl joined an world wide organization, that girl became the youngest lider on that organization, all of that just get her revenge on a certain someone."

"But, that girl was not stupid, that girl wanted that certain someone to feel a immense pain that would be there forever, that why on that right moment, that girl shot Lady Elizabeth, Lady Elizabeth resisted but in the end, the life of Lady Elizabeth ended there, her last moment was smilling at her husband."

"That girl was happy to see his face covered in sadness."

"That girl whose name was Maria."

I see...

"At the age of 6, Maria went with her parents on vacation in Florence, Maria was happy, being able to go on a trip with her Mom and Dad, the city of Florence was nice, that little girl enjoyed every day and night there, but then, a certain event that changed her life forever happened."

"On that night, the family decided to see the skies, to go for a walk, but unfortunately, they were catch on a crossfire, as a way to defend themselves, they hided, after the fire was gone, only one man remained there, and because the Family had seen his face, more like, He found them, he killed the all family, cold blood, not even begging was enough... or that was what he thought, while the Mom and Dad were dead, Maria survived by a thread of hair, because of the huge amount of the blood loss, the doctor responsible for the treatment decided to insert her new blood, the blood of Lyudmila Pavlichenko."

What?

Then why her name had Pavlichenko in it?

I remembered, Maria said she was blood related, so she means this.

"How does that blood appeared? Maybe on WW2 when Lady Lyudmila got injured, someone there decided to collect it."

"Why the doctor decided to put it in that little girl? Because that girl was a Ability User, that´s the reason she was able to escape Death."

"What was that ability? It was a rare type, even now that girl doesn´t know everything."

"Then after recovering, that little girl decided to live on revenge, that why she trained herself, she study, all of this in order to kill that man, that man´s name was Miguel Angelo."

I was a little speechless after this...

All this time...

You were trying to get your revenge, but on that day, you killed his Wife instead of he so he could feel and live in pain for eternity, i guess you got your revenge... Maria...

"Years passed, that little girl became stronger, got new friends, one of them was her closest friend that was already death sentenced..."

The other Maria

"Her name was also Maria by chance."

"Everything so that girl..."

"Could have..."

"Her revenge..."

After sighing with her remaining strength, Maria voice became happier.

"I killed Lady Elizabeth."
