Sorry for the long update.

(Dodge punch) Sorry!

Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year Eve!


Chapter 28

The days passed slowly. Taura was resting to prepare herself for the operation that she was going to perform. Maria was out gathering water demons and bringing them to chambers in the cave. In the Burrow, Ron was keeping himself from closing his eyes.

Ron POV

"Ron! Go to sleep, for god's sake! You will be okay!" Mrs. Weasely scolded, pushing me back onto the bed.

"Mother…" I groaned.

"Don't 'mother' me! You need sleep!" Mrs. Weasely shoved me onto the bed and pulled covers over him.

"I don't want to sleep, Mum!" I whined. I did not want to get hurt again. I was scared. That woman is scary and if I fall asleep, I am afraid I won't wake up again. Then Fred and George came in.

"Help me, Fred, George; get Ron to sleep, please." Mrs. Weasely turned to them. "Anyway is okay."

"Okay, Mom." Fred and George grinned at each other. Nodding their heads at the same time, Fred pulled out a mallet and knocked me on the head.

Then everything went black.

Maria POV

I stared at the demons before me. I chose all women, so there would not be men hitting on Taura. She would despise me for adding men, since she does not want trouble if the men fell head over heels with her.

Each of the four girls was different. I knew them from when I was a kid. The first one I chose was Rin. She was like me, cold and calm. She had dark black hair and purple eyes. She was the best at disguises and illusions. She was more of the strategist to help Taura with the big plan. I liked her a lot. She was kind to me, but was cruel to the other girls that I recruited. I hope that Taura approves of her.

The second girl that I found was Jun. She was obedient, but she did not put much opinion into things. She had black hair and blue eyes. Jun did things that pleased the person that she was serving. She also did it without much thought or question. I am not sure if Taura would like her or not, but I had to get one that did not rival Taura. If she did not like Rin, at least she had a subordinate that did not talk back to her.

The third girl that I picked was a girl named Kumiko, a very beautiful girl. She had long white hair like the foam of the ocean and blue-green eyes like the color of the sea. Kumiko was beautiful in every aspect, but her beauty was inhumane that normal humans would not fall in love with anyone. I recruited her because guys are suckers towards her. When she first walked onto the beach, hoards of men were gawking at her. She could make a good distraction. Besides, the people that Taura are against are wizards. Rin's illusions could work, but a smart one would break them. Kumiko is another distraction we could use to distract the opponents.

The fourth girl was called Mayumi. She was unlike the other girls, she was an archer. She is also different from the other girl because she is a girl that I met on land. Of course, she is not human. She is known as the sea's arrow. She has brown hair and pale blue eyes. She has a bow and arrows. She is also skilled in hand-to-hand combat as well. The arrows are what make her unique. The arrows, when shot at another person, could blind the person, cause them to fall unconscious, and when they hit the target, they become immobilized. She is a useful girl to have on the team.

"Come with me." I ordered. The four of them followed me to a cave. I called: "Taura, they are here." A few minutes later, Taura came out in a long black dress. I saw the group's eyes flicker to Taura, analyzing her. I wondered what they were thinking.

Rin POV

How interesting… I can sense her power. It is a bit untamed and it is not fully accessed. She has great potential that one could tap in. However, she must make herself worthy for me to address.

Jun POV

So this is the person I will be serving. She seems fit. She seems very intimidating, but very kind in a sense too. I will enjoy this.

Kumiko POV

She is pretty…but not as pretty as me. She is more of a down-to-earth beauty, really. She does not look that special… No, I cannot let that side get to me.

Mayumi POV

A bit slim with some muscles…she could use some exercise. Ugh…such pale skin…she must not go out in the sun a lot…I think that I might want to teach her some things. Without physical power, she might not make it through under long term circumstances.

Taura POV

I examined each of the girls. The one with purple eyes was interesting. I did not like the one with black hair and blue eyes. Those eyes were empty. I could see the white haired one was a flirt. I envied the fourth one for her muscles.

"Introduce yourself." I ordered, looking each of them in the eye. I let my purple energy surround me slightly before letting it sink back into my skin. The one with the purple eyes and the one with the blue eyes with black hair looked impressed.

The one with the purple eyes whispered: "My name is Rin." She stared at me, silently challenging me.

"I see. We will 'talk' later after everyone is introduced." I replied curtly, glaring at her. Rin looked surprised for a moment, and then she smiled softly, pleased because I understood exactly what she had meant.

"My name is Jun, my lady." The one with the black haired and blue eyes muttered, her eyes directed towards the ground.

"I am also pleased to meet you, Jun-san." I replied, this time in a gentle tone.

Jun's blue eyes looked up and darted back down with a faint blush on her face. "Um…" I gave her a smirk, while inwardly I chuckled.

"My name is Kumiko, lovely lady of the sea." The one with the white hair said, huffing while she flipped her hair.

I raised an eyebrow at the statement. She has such an inflated ego. I hope I can deflate it. She is so vain too; I wonder why Maria chose this girl. "I see." I said.

"Don't 'I see' me. I am the famous, wonderful beauty. I make all the boys woo under my feet. All the girls envy you for my beauty. I am the best." Kumiko boasted.

"I am sure you are lovely in every way." I sarcastically replied. "Now moving on…"

"But I was not done. I have more to say."

I fixed her with a hard glare. Kumiko hesitated and then huffed. She turned her head away and gazing at the water, she began to admire her face in the reflection. Rolling my eyes, I faced the last girl.

"My name is Mayumi. It is a pleasure to meet you." The brown-haired bowed down in a polite way.

"My name is Taura." I acknowledged to her bow.

"Now Taura, why do you have pale skin?"

"I was born with it. Even under the sun, it stays pale like this."

"I hope to talk to you and get to know you."

"I am sure that we will get along fine."

Mayumi nodded. I turned towards Maria and whispered for her ears to hear: "We need to talk privately after this. I am going to talk to some of the people you picked privately. For some of them, I need a decent explanation of why you picked her, understand?"

Maria nodded and I got up. "Now Rin, I indicated that you wanted to 'talk'?"

"Yes, I did." Rin said.

"Now let us move away from the group. We need somewhere private." I replied. "Maria," I turned towards the pale blond girl.

"Yes?"

"Bring the others into the cave. I will come after me and Rin have talked to our satisfaction." I smiled down on Rin, who smiled back the same way.

"Yes! I will do that." Maria led the other girls into the cave. I watched as they faded into the distance.

"Now let us walk."

"Yes, of course."

I walked with Rin to a private place. This private place was going to the place where the action was going to begin when we stopped.
