as a disclaimer, dxd does not belong to me.
It's cold today...
I hate this...
But I need to keep training, or else everything will be lost...
I can't go back home anymore, I can't go back to the tsukino's anymore, I can't go back to the village anymore...
All I got now... Is the assassination of the Vampire King...
"C'mon, Albert! Harder! Faster! Stronger! Gimme your best shot!" I screamed in the middle of the night, as I patiently waited in the deep woods for his assault! There are at least ten clones of him now, all well equipped and ready to kill me. I need to calm down and wait...
And wait... And wait... And wait...
*SHACK!*
"Wow!" I dodged a swift move from the ground, jumping out of the harm's way, as I tossed a kunai in the direction of the target. The image itself was just a blur, but from here, I saw it was one of Albert's clones. The poof of smoke it turned into showed that I hit it on the right spot! But I can't let my guard down.
*VOOSH!*
*VOOSH!*
"Double teaming won't work!" Two green flashes appeared to me, aiming to hit me in midair. However, I was faster, and summoned a shadow clone in the right moment to used it as a platform and jump away. The clone disappeared in a spoof of smoke, and the two dumb turtles clashed against each other. I was about to deal a final double blow, but I felt a alarmingly high temperature by my back. I spin to look behind me, and there was a fireball coming to my direction! "Shit!"
I made some hand signs and created a bubble of water in order to fight against that. I launched it against it, and in another spoof of vapor, it extinguished away. However, from it, I saw a turtle shell coming right into my direction! It was just a decoy! Before I could react to it, that natural shield hit me right in the stomach, and I fell to the ground. The three turtles them launched several blasts of different elements against me.
"Crap! Summoning, demon wind ninja star!" I said, picking a giant windmill shuriken and dodging the blasts from the turtles. I enchanted the shuriken with wind spirits and threw it. The weapon then extended it's blades even more, and due to the wind technique, it became a true eye of a tornado! The typhoon blew the turtle trio away, and I finished with a ninja star for each one of them! They blew in spoof of smoke. "Alright!"
*ZING!*
"Too slow!" I then pulled a line of string from a hidden place amount the grass, and like I was expecting, the incoming attack from five turtles came to a halt, as they were now on midair, stuck in between my net of razor strings. I pulled it even further, and the clones ended up clashing against trees, immobilizing each one of them! "Now, take this! Ninja technique: Qillin's punishment!"
And without ceremony, lightning passed through the lines of strings to electrocute the clones. They shined a sick green light, and then also disappeared in smoke. Okay, nine down, one more to go. And I have a pretty good idea what it's preparing for me.
*BAM! BAM! BAM!*
"And bingo..." And said, turning around to the direction those hard, large stomped were been heard. The whole forest trembled against such impact, and walking to my direction, trees were falling, animals were running away and fruits were falling down. In the end, that massive shadow revealed itself as a giant clone of Albert, roaring like a true kaiju. I simply smiled, making some hand signs. "Well, well, I'm proud of you, Albert. Not only you can hold your expansion technique by your own, but you can read my mind as well. Okay, as a reward, I'll try to control myself!"
And soon I finished the hand sequence. Out of the sudden, the already cloudy night sky became darker and darker. Lightnings danced on the sky, and a few drops were falling. I couldn't care less, but again, one of the electric lines on the sky descended upon me. I gritted my teeth, feeling again the skin of my arm being peeled out due to the massive power I was about to unleash, and then, in a smooth, quick move, I touched the ground, and a summoning rune appeared right there...
"Forbidden summon technique: Thunder God Emperor Qillin!"
*DOOOOOOOOON!*
And then... Darkness.
...
...
When I first woke up, it was already dawn. The whole forest was silent, and not a single trace of animals by some miles due to the destruction I caused. I was resting my back against a large tree, and Albert was now sleeping beside me. At least I didn't kill him.
I looked at my arm, and like I was expecting, it was all burnout, with the skin peeling out and I couldn't move it very well. I wasn't feeling a thing with it, but every time I try to move it, it twitches a little and sends a painful feeling to my brain. That sure was a killing one. I wonder what Ichijou would say if he ever find out about this. He'd probably go 'are you trying to kill yourself?! Think twice before doing that shit!' Or something like that.
Why am I thinking about him now; anyway?
*ROONC~...!*
It took me a while to finally try to stand up. Okay, first things first, I need to take care of this arm of mine and then find something to eat. Luckily for me, there wasn't any animals around, so I could freely walk into the woods. It didn't take long to find me a good vine rope and use it's juices to pass onto my wounds, sealing those away with some long leaves. Bandages would've been a better choice, but since it's still too early to steal some, this will have to do.
Of course, I soon found some fallen fruits scattered around, probably after the great fight I had yesterday. Some of them were burned, others were full of maggots. Only a few had healthy looks. I picked one apple and took a bite out of it.
"It's bitter..." I grimaced, trying my hard to get use to it. It's still too early to try to steal anything, and Kuoh city is still very far away. I sighed,
If there's anything I regret for defecting my group was the fact that the food was great. Big sis boobs was a great chef, and mama cobra wasn't half bad either, Red dragon was also very good. Now, even if I wanted to go back just to have a quick snack, I can't, because I'm a stray, and unless I come back as the vampire King, the hell enforcers would arrest me for treason. I can't go back home, I can't go back to the village, and I can't go back to school. Until the meeting, I can only train and become stronger to defeat the ninjas and kill the vampire King... Only then... Only then mama and papa will be together forever... And we can be a family again...
So... I regret nothing for leaving the group after all... I am a ninja...
'Because... Because I want to be your friend!'
'We did it! we're awesome, Ninja!'
'Please, take care of my daughter...'
'We love you, you know that, Annabelle Hellsing?'
I regret... Nothing, I'm a ninja, after all...
*BITE!*
Ew, this apple is worse than I thought: it's not just bitter...
... It's salty, too.

~~X~~
.
It has been a while since I last came to Kuoh. If I remember correctly, it was roughly half a month ago, when Nemesis and Rina-chan had their Rating Game. What a memory. That chick's punches still hurt a little, but nothing like a good healing session with the girls to put me right on top again!
Sex is still very strange for me...
Currently, I am hiding next to the old building of Kuoh academy, next to mr. Michaelis and Nadja Sustrai. Waiting for the upcoming riot that the rejected students will cause today. I heard from her that Akio pulled the Entrance speech, so I have a pretty good idea what happened.
It kinda takes me back when I was still a holy knight. She gave a speech in the middle of the church saying that God was dead, and that everything we were fighting for was pointless and already lost. Of course, some of them fell, but I ended up sinking my gauntlet up to her face, breaking a few teeth of her. It was after that when I met nemesis and we fought because of Akio's damaged honor. Everything after that is history, but fortunately, me and Akio are in good terms now. Very... Good terms...
Anyway, the students were coming either alone or in groups. Some of them from Kuoh, others from other schools. I couldn't feel the presence of dragons in anyone, but I could sense the scent of Devils, yokais and other creatures. In the middle of this sea of scent, I saw Ichijou-San right ahead, being held company by his little witch friend and carrying the nine-tailed fox for some reason.
"I can walk, Ichijou. Don't worry about me." I heard the fox say, as she buried her face on the Sekiryuutei's nape. The witch girl came to her to pat her on the head.
"Like hell, Yoko. That Miyama guy is still around Kuoh, and after he did with you, I'm not letting you go. Who knows if he's planning a revenge." He said. She blushed even more, while he almost missed a step, and sighed. "Besides, you need to rest your legs and build up chakra. Go fusing with me for a while, it will help."
"Thanks, Ichijou."
Huh, getting a hang out of your harem, eh Sekiryuutei? To be fair, I wasn't putting too much hope into him when Nemesis first mentioned him. Grumpy, violent, easily triggered, but weak and predictable, he was the formula for a disaster. Then, even after Aria's training, he still wasn't able to beat me, winning against the girls out of sheer luck and maybe other obscure reason...
Taking him and comparing to Lord Issei, maybe it's because he was lacking something that the legendary Oppai Sekiryuutei had in buckets: passion. Rina-chan had that, and that was the reason how she was able to survive Nemesis' assaults even on her Alastor form. I was able to keep up with demons back in the holy days because I was fighting for a cause. Aria? Akio? Basara? They all have passion about living, and that's why they surpass expectations, plus the fact that they are descendants of the Oppai Dragon. Maybe it's because he lacks all of that why he's such a loser...
I wonder... If having a harem will help him achieve the proper motivation to continue to grow. But again, if he fails, and one of his girls die, he'll be devastated, and God knows what he'll be able to do. According to Aria, he entered Juggernaut Drive, even though it was suppose to be impossible, and pulled a fight against Mr. Hwan and her in their full power, defeating both several times. Since Aria won't talk about it I keep thinking what caused such event. I wonder if I can teach him some swordsmanship someday, teach him maybe the way of the sword and lessons about protecting and fighting with love...
But I can't possibly teach him that. Some people fight for the sake of other people, others for the sake of their beliefs. I don't think I can teach anyone how to fight passionately when I don't know a drop about them. I fought for the church. And now for Nemesis. Rina fought for her dreams, that Chinese girl for her friends, and back then, he fought for the sake of his identity. Now he lost it; and must find another reason to fight. No; maybe he already has one, just didn't realize it yet.
"Lord Gladius, are you feeling alright? I brewed some coffee in case the attack takes too long to happen." Faust touched my shoulder and offered me a thermic can filled with coffee. I picked it out of respect and took a drink out it, as I was now observing Ichijou enter the school and help the ninetails on her shoes and locker. The witch however went to behind him and hug him right there. Jealous guys and gossiping girls were all commenting on that, but soon shrug it off saying something about 'girls' love' and 'what a waste...'. Oh, they think that Ichijou is a girl. What a thing. "Taking a liking out of the Sekiryuutei, I see."
"He's... Something. Kinda reminds me how I was before meeting you all. I wonder which path he will take in the end." I said, sipping on the thermic can and grimacing with the taste of coffee. Personally, I like water best. Soft drinks and those other industrialized stuffs are not my thing. "Mr. Faust, Nadja, for what you two fight?"
"What a question, Lord Gladius. I fight for the sake of the Gremory name and my own King. Her commands are my objective." The butler said, smiling under his epic mustache. Nadja scratched her cheek a little while in thought.
"I fight because I like Nemesis-San. She's pretty, and strong, and I want to follow her because she loves me as much as I love her." The shaman said with a smile. "Besides, she said that I'm the only one that can control Akio when she's in S-mode."
"I see. Love." I muttered. Love for your king, love for your friends, love for your beliefs, that's what drives a person to commit several things out of it. Lord Issei was like that, the descendants of the original satans were like that, Lord Sou-Sou was like that.
Yes, maybe having a harem that truly loves and cherish him will be good for his development.
Bam! Out of nowhere, a dark, heavy atmosphere descended upon the School campus, and from afar, I could see an entire army coming this way. Mr. Michaelis and Nadja put themselves in battle poses, as the upcoming mob was just the first troop. Soon, others gathered around and more and more appeared out of the sunrise. In the end, roughly two hundred students were all lined up in front of Kuoh...
Goddamns it Akio. Nemesis said for you to take it easy...
By the question's matter, I lifted a barrier around the area in front of Kuoh, and we jumped out of our hideout to greet the rejected students. I know it won't be easy nor pleasant, but for the sake of this school, I'll have to hold back.
"Good morning, dear younglings. Please, do not disturb the usual schedule for the students in this school." Mr. Faust said, lifting both his hands and using the deep tone of his voice to reach all the present rejected ones. "Now, please, if you have any complaints about the elimination test that took place yesterday, speak it directly to me. I'm the one representing the current headmistress of this academy, and so...!"
*BAM!*
"Screw you, you old fart!" A students with a rather strange face of a giant crow said, tears running down his face and practically commanding an army of a sorts of long-nosed tengus. He just threw a really large rock against Mr. Faust's face! "I had dreams and hopes in this academy! But that bitch... That Akio whore... I want to be important, goddamnit! That's not fair! Just because I want to be important for my own, doesn't mean I have to quit this school!"
*YEAH!*
The entire troop exclaimed, charging against us in one way. Oh, this is gonna end badly. Not for us, of course. Mr. Faust then ascended from the ground, his face unsurprisingly unharmed, and without a single word, stomped the floor with all of his might. The shockwave alone was enough to put everyone within the barrier off-balance, the whole place trembling like it would in a earthquake. So much for a Gremory Rook. This amount of power is still ridiculous...
"Younglings, if you please, you all just picked the wrong moment to want to transfer here. Please, maybe next semester." The tall butler simply said, his hands hanging from a side. This statement fell into deaf ears, as they ignored the warning sign and continued to charge forward. Mr. Faust sighed while caressing his own mustache, and took the back seat. "Lord Gladius, Lady Nadja, remember what Lady Nemesis said: no use of fatal damage. We don't want to be labeled as murderers, after all."
"Yeah, gotcha." I said. I extended a hand to the high air, and from there, summoned a magic sword that I received after becoming Nemesis's knight. I still can't control it very well, but I can at least stun some folks with it. I picked it with both hands and with a smooth, quick slash, a energy beam of pure demonic power emerged from the cutting edge. "Cut the bonds that unites the world... Demon Sword of treason Clarent!"
The cursed sword of Mordred, the renegaded son of King Arthur, embedded with the blood of the said Hero on it's blade, thus dying the sword Crimson! The said demonic slash beam turned into the head of a demon knight and destroyed and launched away everyone on it's way. I turned back to Nadja, and she just finished her Shamanic rune, dripping a bit of her own blood to conclude her ritual.
"Summoning, spirits of the nature!" She said. The magic rune shined a bright red, and then disappeared. The ground trembled again, and from it, small earth golems began to appear, all with some kind of magic rune written on their hard bodies. Shamanic takeovers, wondering spirits that shaman uses to posses inanimate objects and fight for them. The said clay avatars suddenly became aware and attacked the intruders.
I jumped into the army itself, and soon the battle began. So much creatures and beings from other lores mixed up in one single place to one single goal. Fallen angels, Devils, Wind weasels, angels, sacred Gear-users, animal spirits, animagus(yeah, those really exist!), even flying meatball monsters! The evening consisted in magic runes, battle against summoners and familiars, with me slashing several energy blasts against the crowd of supernatural creatures, while Mr. Faust would punch them out of orbit and barrier with his diamond-hard fists!
"Nero, heads up!" I heard someone scream. From the floor, several mud hands emerged and tried to grab every single one who was standing in the area, tossing them away soon after. I jumped out of their reach and took care of the flying enemies, while the hands created by Nadja trailed a way out of the school by dragging the troublemakers with them. Nadja herself was standing on top of a massive clay golem.
And after a hour or so, they were all scared away or simply dragged away when unconscious. It wasn't that hard to do that, but I'd be lying if I say it was a walk in the park, either. Poor mr. Faust lost the jacket of his suit(not that it matters that much, since he has tons of that same thing.), I need to buy a new shirt and Nadja... She was alright. We met in a single point in the barrier to cheer for our little victory.
"It has been quite some time since I had so much fun." Grinned the Gremory butler, snapping a few articulations and cracking his fingers. "Those small fries have no class, but after what happened during our rating game with Rina, I can tell that this generation sure has mixed results."
"I hope none of them got really hurt. Nemesis-san will scream if someone starts complaining about the school staff." Nadja finished with a sigh. All I had to do was to pick her nose and say that everything's gonna be alright. She worries too much, which kinda pisses me off a little. It's nothing compared to Nemesis's rage, but she should have expected that.
"We did a go job. That's what counts. Nemesis might be a little mad, but at least we avoided a ruckus. No doubt she'll be proud." I said with a faint grin, both of them responding with equally shining smiles. Yeah, love it's what drives us to improve and do the right thing, even when it's not the right thing. Kinda paradoxical, but what do I know? I love Nemesis, and I'll do anything for her. And she'll do anything to me...
...
Brrr...
"Let's report the mission back in her office. If we use the communication spell, we might interrupt her, and God knows what she'll do to us for startling her..." I said. Everybody heavily gulped, and nodded to that statement. No matter how kind and protective she is, Nemesis's still Nemesis. She will give us a reward, because she can be kind like that. I wonder why Rina hates her so much...
*VOOSH!*
"Nero, watch out!" It was so fast! A black flash suddenly went flying right next to my head, and by an inch didn't pass through my skull! Who did that?! I'm sure that those delinquents are no more around Kuoh, so how? Before someone could answer my question, I saw a small young woman in the middle of the battlefield, her purple bangs dancing within the wind while her unfocused eyes were looking at nothing. By the uniform she's wearing, it means that she's a Kuoh student, however, the most noticeable thing about her was the fact that she was wearing a black gauntlet with the shape of a dragon in one of her hands! Is that a sacred gear? No, it's not 'just a' sacred gear! It's one of the prison black evil dragon King Vritra's set's! That girl...
"Aaaaw~, I missed." She said in a morose tone, further proving that she aimed for my head. In such bored tone, what is she? Her sacred gear vanished from this world, and soon she bowed to us. "Hey, hello, good morning, you three~. Care to step aside. I'm late for school, so so so, I want to pass pass pass~!"
"Young lady, good girls shouldn't lose to the clock. Good men only cares about a good woman that can either help him or take care of him. By missing classes, you are also missing the opportunity to find a good husband." The second oldest piece in Nemesis's set said in a grandfatherly tone, while the lady, while saying nothing, crossed her arms and tilted her head to a side, showing no malice nor mockery. However, suddenly, Mr. Faust's eyes became ferocious, and he adopted a battle stance. "But if you even try to harm those kids again, I said you don't have to worry about your inexistent future anymore."
"Oh, fear fear fear. Okay, gramps, I get it, I won't do a thing now." She lifted her arms up to the air in a surrounding pose, while looking away from us, mouth hanging saying that she's more bored than anything. Mr. Faust wasn't convinced, yet he lowered his defenses a little. The moment he did just that, that girl summoned her sacred gear again and tossed a black stake with purple jewels against him! Fortunately, The butler was fast enough to dodge it. We turned back to her, and she made a glacé pose. "Sorry, I lied."
"You little lying wrench. A good slap in your little butt might fix your behavior with your elders!" Said the older between us, being that Nadja was already building a backup golem and Clarent was already at hands. The host of the prison dragon Vritra, however, sighed, and also adopted a battle pose, as a dark and eerie aura began to ooze out of her body.
"Elders... Sorry, but I like my elders like I like my wine... I don't like wine..." And then the said black aura engulfed her and set her on black fire! We all wilded in the presence of such event, and when the black flames died down, it revealed a black dragonic armor somehow similar yet different than the Scale Mail one. It had purple details, several snake-like tentacles sprouting from it's back, dark shoulder-plates expelling dark flames from tubes located there and dragon heads as gauntlets and feet.
[BALANCE BREAKER: VRITRA CORONATION!]
"What's that... That eerie aura of dread... It's like that armor is trying to suck my sanity..." Muttered Nadja, trembling a little like me. Yeah, if Vritra's really a evil dragon, no wonder this sensation of terror is reaching us. However, the one standing tall despite that was Mr. Faust Michaelis. He walked into the armor's encounter and again took a battle stance.
"Younglings, do not feel ashamed to admit your fears. This aura from the Evil Dragon, who's also a legendary dragon King, is indeed devastating to young souls such as yours own." He said, turning around and giving us a thumbs up. He's really that strong, no wonder he's a rook. The armor by the other side simply sighed, leaping towards us.
[Kiruko! Watch out! That old-looking one possesses a great amount of demonic power! Be wise when facing him!]
"Yeah, no, I dunno. He's old, he might want to chat. He can talk to my fist~." A strange, hoarse was heard coming directly from the armor, but the girl, Kiruko, simply shrugged it off and leaped towards mr. Faust pointing her arrow-like lines and fists against him! Big mistake: the butler was fast enough and landed a single, powerful blow against the core of her armor, completely destroying her dragonic defenses, and it didn't stop there, as he picked her by the uniform and applied a judo move against her, taking the girl to the ground and opening a hole there! "Huuuuh~, lameeeee~...!"
"And that's what you get for messing with your elders, young lady. I hope you learned your lesson, and become a healthy adult without any problems." He warmly said to the fallen girl. We were at shock, after all, he just dealt with someone with a dragon Sacred Geat with minimal effort, and put it into submission with impossible ease. That's... Love and loyalty. So much for a servant of Gremory. He turned back to us, and looked at Nadja. "Lady Sustrai, if you don't mind, care to restrain this little miss? Maybe she'll be a formidable source of information, just like lady Leonheart."
"Oh, right!" Nadja said, drawing a rune on the ground and then hands made of mud appeared on the ground to grab and restrain the Kiruko girl, in a cocoon of earth. Hard as rock.
Huh, the mission went actually greater than expected. We stopped one supernatural riot and now, we captured one of those problematic Dragon-King Sacred gear users that miss Sarah Leonheart(Japanese) was talking about. One of her siblings, maybe. She'll be happy regardless, despite he state she encountered herself in now. And for now, I could see of what our little group capable of. Companionship, maybe that's another thing a great group needs.
"Done. She wasn't that problematic, but it's never too careful with sacred gear users. Now, we need to bring her to Nemesis-san's office and let Sarah make her own recognition about that Kiruko lass-..."
"Sorry, but I'm watching culinary shows. I can't lose it, because I don't use Internet..." A voice echoed from the barrier, and then, from the earth cocoon, a light emerged. Before anything could happen, me and the others jumped away, and then it exploded, lifting a curtain of dust. Curses, were we too careless?! The dirt cleaned off, and by the other side of the now thin curtain, we saw the Kiruko girl, not only free from her prison, but also harmless, without a single scratch. Not only me, but mr. Faust and Nadja were surprised! "Sorry sorry sorry. I'm the kind of girl that doesn't use the internet. Zero into free~. Hahah hahah, how showy."
"Huh, tough cookie you are, young lady." Fearless as ever, Faust Michaelis cleaned the sweat away from his thick white eyebrows and stood again against her. So much experience, so much posture. He really loves Nemesis, huh? "I'm afraid that, now that I see my minimal strength won't be enough, I shall use a greater percentage of my power against you. Please, do not resent my actions. You're the one forcing me to do this."
"Oh~, a lion law. Kinda like it; that's kinda cowardly, putting the guilt in the victim. You sir, are a coward. But cowards are always the ones who live mooore~." She said, as suddenly she cracked her neck in an unusual way. Not by stretching it, but by adjusting it with both her hands pushing different directions of her nape and throat. That alone made me shiver a little. Crap, this girl is scary.
[Kiruko, that man's still the strongest. Be careful. I don't want you hurt, even with that ability of yours.]
"Nero, stay close to mister Faust. That girl... Seems serious now." Nadja said, taking a leader's position since Mr. Faust was still on the zone. Suddenly, Kiruko-san materialized her dragon gauntlet, and from there, created from black flames a sick-black stake as night with purple details and jewels. I don't remember those on the books about the sacred gear of Lord Genshirou. What's that? Is that her own ability? So why the said [Absorption Line] sacred Gear?
"Hey, old man~. I have a voice mail for you: it's time for your medicine!" She said, again leaping against our rook, as he continued to maintain an elegant combat pose. She summoned a black stake out of her gauntlet, and was ready to stab our butler with it. "Take this, yo. Old man, now eat dirt...!"
*KICK!*
*BOOM!*
"Uuuugh~...!"
"Don't underestimate me, young lady. I might be old, but that doesn't mean I'm harmless. After all, I have experience." Scary. Mr. Faust just sinked that girl into the ground with minimal effort. He just hammer-kicked her right in the spot, and she went to the ground in one go. He hit her right in the collarbone, probably breaking it and piercing her lungs. I heard a story like that. The grizzled old man jumped away from her and turned to us. "Now, we better stay alert. Even with that kick, miss Kiruko must have a trump card. I saw this countless times, don't let your guard down."
"Understood." We all said, as the little girl in the middle of the crater, even though it would be impossible, stood up from the ground and turned around away from us, only to bend her back and look at us upside down. I heard a great deal of articulations cracking, making me shiver. Nadja was also trembling, and The old man gulped down hard.
"Ah~, ah~, ah~... Mr. Old man sir, you broke my collarbone, and it pierced my lungs... I'm gonna be crippled by the rest of my liiiiifeeee~, and I like it... Just kidding..." She said, now turning her body back to against us, and acting like nothing happened. This is really peculiar. Who or what in God's name(ouch!) that chick is? "I don't like being a cripple. Too many duties and things to do. I'd be bored... Thanks goodness for for for... Something something something..."
"What an interesting ability you have, Miss." Nadja began, as she walked a step forward and then was stopped by the older piece. She looked frightened, yet curious. "Is that... Is that a sacred gear? I mean, mister Michaelis is super strong! How can you still stand?"
"It's true. The amount of force I put in that kick should be enough to knock yours truly out for a day or so, if not, like you've said miss, it'd have broke your bones. Is that witchcraft? Magic? Sacred gear? It'd be greatly appreciated if you could tell us." The rook in our peerage also took a step up to look at the black dragon, who was dusting away her own uniform. Not even her clothes were damaged. Dirty, yes, but not damaged. She looked at us again, and directing her eyes elsewhere, she spoke.
"No, none of that. The truth is, as long as I believe in myself and my siblings, I'll be unharmed... It's usually like that how it works... Right...?" She said, looking elsewhere, not even trying to hide the fact that she's talking to someone else. But who? Her imaginary friend? I can't be too careless nor skeptical. "Now, now, like I've never said, nothing can possibly harm me~, unless pointy things, I love those~."
We three only stood there, looking at that mysterious girl in front of us. In this small moment of brief thoughts, it came to me something: why would she attack us like that? What's her purpose? She said something about being late, and since she's using Kuoh's uniform, she must be a student here. So why bother attacking us? I looked at both of them for a second, and with a nod, I signed for them to follow my lead while I distract her. They respond also with a nod.
"Okay... Hey, Kiruko-san? Care to explain why you attacked us?" I said, lifting my hands up to the air and taking a few steps up. I signed with one finger for them to step back, but also for Nadja to prepare a more powerful version of her biding spell. Kiruko-san crossed her arms and sighed, still looking uninterested. "I mean... You're already a student in Kuoh. Rather than cause all of that trouble, you could simply ignore us and go to school. Why all of that?"
"Eeeeeh~, why ask ask ask this now now now? I'm late, so of course I want to whack someone." She said, sticking her tongue out and closing one eye. "This is how it is, right? When you're angry, you have to aim your rage to someone elseee~. Since I lost my time today, I picked the first losers I found and tried to beat them up badly..."
"..." I gulped. I don't know what's more discerning: her speech or the way she says things so nonchalantly. This is not a speech of a mentally stable, functional person. Wait, no, gotta stay together, Nero, save some time so that Nadja can finish her spell. "And... Why would you want to do something like that? I mean, you can always skip the first class and enter during second period. Easy that way."
"I dunnoooooooo... Maybe that's why I'm never in class. I'm too busy punching a stranger Out of rage that sometimes I lose track of it. Just kidding..." She said, rolling her eyes away from me. This is really starting to mess with my mind. I don't know what she says is truth or not, and I don't wanna show it, but the way she's taking this so lightly is making my head spin. "I'll tell you what, Mr. Knight. I might not be the strongest or the smartest, but I want you to answer a question for me, please... What motivates you?"
"Huh...?" That... Can't be coincidence. Is she reading my mind or something? Her gaze is far away from me and the way she speaks makes me wonder if anything is anything for her. But again, this question. Of course I fight for love. I fought for the church, and now I fight for Nemesis... No, I'm getting carried away, I can't let her win this. "Why would you want to know? I fight for what I think it's right. That's why I'm fighting you!"
"Eheheeeeh, that's cool, that's great. But still... I wonder if I kill those two friends of yours I'll be able to finally feel something..." Suddenly, ZING!, two dragon gauntlets appeared in her hands, and from them, she pulled two black stakes out of thin air! So suddenly?! I summoned Clarent as well and waited for the clash. "Vritra... [BALANCE BREAKER: SOUL EATER]!"
*BAM!
*SEAL!*
"Heseehhehheh~...?!"
"Good night, young lady."
*CRACK! CRACK! POW!*
And again, everything resumed itself in a couple of seconds. I'm surprised, I'm really surprised. She just pulled an individual balance breaker in one of the Vritra's sacred gears, which it can't possibly happen without it's sisters. That girl sure is frightening, but not as fast as us. In just a spam of a second, I created a shockwave with the hilt of my sword in order to hit her in the face and knock her out. Short after, Hands of golems appeared right under her feet to restrain her legs, and to deal the finishing blow, mr. Faust appeared behind her to break of her arms and crush her head on the ground, also breaking her legs in the process due to the hands firmly holding her feet. That quantity of blood can already say: unfortunately, she can't completely recover after that.
"I'm so sorry, miss Kiruko, but you left us no choice." Wailed Nadja, as she played a little respect for the girl under the butler with a bow. Mr. Faust also payed his condolences to the fallen one and picked her by one of her arms.
"Lady Sarah would be disappointed at us for not bringing her sister in perfect conditions. But if the Dragon Vritra sealed inside of her Sacred Gears is merciful enough, he might help her recover. She won't be talking nor walking anytime soon, though." He said, as he picked her by one of her arms and tried to lift her to his own. "I'm still feeling pulse. Weak, but she won't die."
"Death threats were only a reflection. But I guess since she's alive, she can help us like Sarah-san." I finished, glad that girl is alive. We should apologize later. No matter what she says, she's still a human. A powerful one at that too. "In any case, put a restriction spell on her, mr. Faust. I don't know what Nemesis says, I'll use a rune to her office. We have to treat this girl as soon as possible."
"Poor young lady. In my time, girls would rather play with dolls instead of cops'n'robbers. What a shame. She's cute despite this raggedy styl-...!"
"Ayeayeayeaye... It looks like I lost... Not."
"What in the world...?!"
*STAB!*
*VOOOSH!*
*BAM!*
"A-Aaaah...!"
"Mister Faust!" I couldn't control it, I screamed. Everything was going so smooth, and suddenly, in a blink of an eye, mr. Faust was stabbed by that same Vritra black stake right on the chest, and then pinned to the school wall, in the limits of the barrier! How... How is that... Me and Nadja turned around and...
*STAB!*
*STAB!*
"Stop screaming. There's too many good flowers here. If you scream, they'll die..." There she is, Kiruko-san, well and good and all put together, without a single scratch on her body and still being able to summon her sacred gear. Before we could do a thing, also in a blink of an eye, she stabbed us with those black stakes with purple jewels. It hit me right in the chest, but for some reason, it didn't hurt... It didn't hurt...
So... Why am I crying?
From then on, everything became more and more black. I lost grip around Clarent and let it fell on the ground, while a cold, completely freezing aura took over my body. What's this? Why am I cold? The sights of things around me began to lost sense. Fighting for the church? For Nemesis? What the hell am I thinking? No! Really?! Why would I ever doubt this?!
"What's... What's this...?" I tried to scream, but it died on my mouth and escaped like a wheeze. Around me, Nadja was also in shock, her eyes filled with tears and trembling uncontrollably, while mister Faust was on the verge of having an epileptic attack. What's this?! I turned back to Kiruko-san, and she was coming closer. "Yoooou~... What... What is this...?!"
"Hey, mr. Knight... Do you know why Vritra is considered a evil dragon, despite being such a nice guuuuyy~...?" She said, making a pose. From here, however, her voice was so distorted that I almost wanted to rip my ears off. What's this? Since when Vritra's able to do that? "Because he's the prison dragon. 'Abandon all hope, those who enter'... Shakespeareeee is soooo cooool~..."
"I... I don't understand..." Now I'm also trembling. She got the artist wrong, I can tell her that, but I was so scared for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to say it.
"Where's the worst prison in the entire universe? Can you say it~? It's in our heeeeead, mister knight." She said, pointing at her own. "The tightest, most powerful and dark prison... Is in ourselvesss... 'I can't do that', 'I don't deserve this'; 'I don't know'; 'what if'... Those questions are what drives someone to fear anything. But what fuels our minds in order to break those? Courage, resolve, fighting spirit, will... Reason."
"..." I couldn't bring myself to say anything. Everything now is white, and the whole gravity seemed to want to squash me like a bug. I'm crying now, this hollow sensation in my chest sucking everything within me. Despair, unreason, blindness, doubt, darkness. Was all I could feel, things that I completely forgot how it feels like.
"But... But... But... But... What if what if what if there's something that could simply suuuuuuck those away? Like, take from you the reason for breathing, fighting, standing up, even living?" She finished, this question hovering the air around us. I couldn't say a thing, my will and resolve were already dead, but I reached a conclusion, the direction she wanted me to go with this. "That's why he's considered an Evil dragon. By using [BALANCE BREAKER: SOUL EATER], Vritra can simply suuuuuck any positive feeling from it's victims. Not only power and energy, but also warmth, resolve, hope, dreams, good vibes and thoughts, happiness, until the only thing that is left is an empty sheeeell~... This is your prison, mr. Knight."
I see... She sucked from us our will for living. Such powerful and frightening ability. We should've killed her when we could. Now, I have no will, I have no soul, I'm just a thinking object... I have no mouth, yet I must scream. She came right next to us, and simply put herself on her knees to have a peripheral view of all of us.
"What a pity~... I won't kill you, and the effect will wear off lateeeer~... So, until then... Gooooooooodbyeeeee...!" She said. I couldn't move, and the barrier was on the verge of breaking. We can't... We can't let that monster escape... If she reaches... Someone... Someone... NEMESIS! ARIA! AKIO! I'm... I'm losing sight again... Shit... "Again... Cia-...!"
*CRASH!*
*POOOF!*
"Wheeeeh...?" And before she could do anything else. Someone disrupted the natural flow of the barrier, crashing the connection and then, in a blink of an eye, vaporized Kiruko-san's arm. So suddenly, she just gasped and jumped away from us, but then a centipede reached for her and picked her right foot on the nick of time to smash her against the floor. The black stake, and thus the negative feelings on it, disappeared from me, and even if there's some negativity left, I felt a lot better soon after. This can only be... Only be...
"Nemesis...!" And yes, crashing through the barrier and already in her Alastor form, with two centipede-like arms growing from her back, there was my precious King and Lover, Nemesis Gremory. Mr. Faust and Nadja also called for her, and she gave us an aside look, turning back to the black dragon.
"I figured you three would be in trouble. The barrier went awry and the flow was unnatural. So... This is one of the students Sarah-chan spoke of, huh." She said, her murderous intent leaking out of her own being. Despite her calm and composed facet, she completely lose it inside.
"Ah-hah... I lost an arm, what a thing. I guess you're a Gremory or a Bael... By the hair, a Gremory... Either way, nice to meet you~..." Despite the lack of one arm, Kiruko-san shrugged that fact off and turned her attention to the redhead devil. That was her biggest mistake. "Hellooooo~, devil... I'm the black dragon."
"Yes, I can see." Nemesis said, her eyes growing even more murderous, and her pupils becoming more and more slit as her Alastor blood took over due to her own emotions. "So... I'm guessing you're the one whom caused all of this mess and hurt my dear servants."
"No, it wasn't. That's a lie, that's bullshit, I didn't do it~, you can't prove a thing. And most of all, I won't harm you eitheeeeeer~." She said, dancing a little and circling a single point in one foot. Nemesis grunted to Kiruko's behavior, which was enough to catch her by surprise: the black dragon King then leaped in our direction in a span of a second, and was ready to stab my king with one of her stakes. "Heh, I lied."
"And I don't care." Nemesis said with the tone of a viper, spitting poison all over the place, as she didn't even move to shot another sphere of power of destruction against Kiruko-san, who did not lose just her stake, but the other arm too! The shockwave caused by the impact tossed the black dragon away, and she landed on her back, standing up with her legs soon after. "Do you think I'll forgive you for harming my dear servants? Do you think... I'LL HAVE MERCY ON YOU FOR MESSING WITH MY DEAR PIECES?! think again!"
"That's dangerous... That's dangerous... I lost both arms... This is not good..." I heard the girl by the other side mutter, as she stepped back a few times and looked, for the first time, scared. She was sweating buckets, and her missy steps were showing how concerned she was at the moment. In a moment after, she picked the bar of her shirt and showed a strange rune drawn around her navel. "But... But... But... I have a backup plan, of course. Whoever your name is, please do not harm me. If I die, this seal will release a magic rune in class 1-B and kill everyone there...!"
"What...?"
"YOU COWARD!" This crossed the line for me! What a cursed little whore! She'll even threaten us with such low tactic! I don't know what would Sarah-san do, but at this point, my blood is boiling as hot as the sun, I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive her! Everyone around is just as speechless, but Nemesis was uncommonly calm about the whole situation. "Nemesis...!"
"..."
"I'm asking niceliiiiiie~... If you let me go, I won't kill anyoneeeeee~... Keheh, but I'll be back for moooooore..." She continued to dance around with that stoic expression like it wasn't anything about her. I almost leaped towards her to rip her apart, but Nemesis is still thinking about it. However, Kiruko-san's eyes turned serious for the first time, and the atmosphere around her also changed. "In order to defeat the so called 'Ultimate Evil' that hides in Kuoh academy, I'm willing to take any measures possible, even change the color of my eyes if necessary."
"The... Ultimate Evil..." I muttered back. Sarah-san also mentioned the existence of such thing around Kuoh, that's the reason why her siblings are transferring here. However, she won't talk about it ever. Which comes to this, what exactly is that 'Ultimate Evil'? Another runaway? A monster? A supernatural phenomenon? Perhaps a Tulpa effect?! We don't know, but it's either too powerful or too personal for them to be willing to do anything to destroy it. "Tell me, what's that ultimate evil? Don't do anything harsh! Leave this to us! If you kill innocents, you're not any better than any evil on the planet!"
"Aaah... That's where where where where you're wrong wrong wrong wrong, knight-san..." She said returning to her typical way of talking, still tilting her head to the sides. Nemesis was still quiet. "You can't possibly defeat the ultimate evil... Because it is the main antagonist of our story~... The Miyama runaway stoooooooory~... So, simple supporting characters can't simply do anything, you loooooser~...! After all, we are the protagonists."
"Why you...!"
"You heartless coward...!"
"Little miss pig...!"
"You three, hush!" Nemesis commanded, and before we could leap at the infuriating girl by the other side, we stopped on our track, almost spitting blood because of rage. Even the so-soothing Nadja and the calm butler Faust were ready to break every bone on the Black Dragon's body. Nemesis, however, took the first step, sighed and looked at Kiruko-san. "You're right, black dragon. For several reasons, I can't let you do as you please in this school, but I can't let innocents die either."
"Nemesis..."
"Right, right, right, right. You have a pretty good head and boobs, Gremory-chin..." She said in a quiet, yet mocking tone. I don't know what my king has in mind, but we won't let her escape after that. Not in a million years. "And so, I bid my goodbye to let my arms grow back tomorrow... See yeah tomorroooow~..."
"What do you think you're going..." But before the black dragon could even turn around, a wall of fire was lift behind her, startling her enough to make her fall on her butt. She soon stood up again and gasped, turning back to us! I looked at Nemesis, and her eyes were, at the same time, serene and calm, yet livid and merciless. That same eyes Lord Sirzechs used to have during such times. "I said that I won't let anyone die in this school, right?"
"b-But you said you would let me goooo~...?" Kiruko-San, scared all the way due to the murderous gaze in Nemesis's eyes, was trembling now, still trying to maintain her stoic expression. "If you kill me... If you kill meeeee~..."
"I know, I know..." Nemesis sighed, and then lifted a single finger, in which a small, heavy sphere of massive demonic energy appeared. "Your death will trigger a terrible spell that will kill every single one of the students in class 1-B, right? Well, then, I'll just have to make sure that the spell itself won't even acknowledge your existence."
"What what what whaaaaat...?"
"[Ruin The Extinct]."
And so, [Ruin The extinct] was fired against the Black Dragon. Once reaching her, it became bigger and bigger, until it finally engulfed the girl in a translucid ball of dark energy. From there, we saw Kiruko-san went from confused to Scared as the particles of power of destruction ate her self until the smallest atom. First her legs, then her body, then her head. All in just a couple of seconds. In the end, before she could disappeared from existence, her last words were...
"Taaaaaaaacooooooos...!"
And then, she disappeared. No, she didn't even existed to begin with. No wonder she's the next heiress of the Gremory house and has permission to be Kuoh's headmistress in such young age. Lord Sirzechs would be proud. Maybe a little disappointed due to the early execution, but proud nonetheless. As expected, nothing happened to class 1-B. If it was a bluff or Nemesis's power is just that powerful, I dunno, but I'm glad nothing happened...
"Nemesis... I'm sorry." I said, standing up and bowing to her. Yeah, I'm really sorry for everything. I kept the riot in order, but was defeat by a girl in such small period of time. I'm ashamed. Mr. Faust and Nadja did the same. Nemesis turned to us and...
*SLAP!*
*SLAP!*
*SLAP!*
"You idiots. Stop apologizing. It'll make me feel bad." She slapped everyone, and then hugged us. Ice and sugar, that's my beloved Nemesis. Still, I don't want her to be worried about me, or anyone for that matter. "I'm your king, damn it. If things are too tight or too hard, you can always count on me. Idiots, next time is one hundred slaps in the ass!"
"Yeah... Sorr-...!" I said, before she slapped me again. I laughed a little.
"Stop apologizing, idiot."
"Sorr-... Okay."
Yeah, she's a great King. One that is worth fighting for, one that is worth dying for.
With that, we have two dragon Kings down, three more to go.
...
...
"Patatarata... Isn't that cute? It's look like a great family reunioooooon~...!"
"...!?"
"What the...?!" We all turned back to the center of the ground zero, and... I can't believe it! After all she has been through, even after suffering [Ruin the Extinct] and have her own existence completely wiped out... There she is, the Black Prison Dragon Kiruko-san, healthy and good as new. I can't even... What?! This is illogical! Nemesis's [RTE] is nothing compared to Lord Sirzechs's own, but she's still powerful! How can a technique that can even kill dragons fall so poorly against a human girl even when she has a Sacred Gear, being not even a Longinus?! "How... How can you survive my [Ruin the Extinct]?"
"I dunnoooooo~. Maybe when I died, a new power awakened within me... Or the prayers of all little children around the world reached my spirit and gave me the strength to go ooon~. Even better, I just got lucky to have a McGuffin somewhere in my body for a last chance opportunity. Isn't that what usually happens in this kind of situation?" She said, looking genuinely confused, yet maintaining her stoic expression and making hand signs after hand signs. "I'm back... Let's call this 'The Tales of the Miyama's Runaways: Re-birth' or something..."
"Don't joke around! What the hell is all of that?!" I said, as Nemesis tried to calm me down, but I walked it off and continued it. That's it, I've snapped! "What do you mean 'those situations'?! What do you mean 'supporting characters'?! Tell me! Tell me everything!"
"..."
"Tell me everything, you little whore! Tell m-...!"
"Shut up! Why are you screaming, you asshole?! Do you think this is fair?! IT'S NOT!" Was all that she said. The sudden outburst had enough strength to snap me back. What the... Did she just cursed? And above all else, lifted her voice?! I barely know her, but that was a big surprise. Then, she lifted her face to stare at us, surprising us even more: her face was completely contorted in a grimace that mixed rage, sadness and confusion, and she was also crying...
She was crying blood.
"W-What... What are you, young lady?" Mr. Faust, just as confused as me, spoke. Kiruko-san blinked a few times, and gasped. Even she's disoriented. She masked herself with her hand, and after a while, she dried the bloody tears from her eyes and sighed.
"One million and two apologies for my outburst. How uncharacteristic of me." she spoke in a calmer, almost different tone. She looked at us for a while, and blinked each eye in different times. Even Nemesis, who just got here, is unnerved by this. Who's that girl, really? Is she really related to Sarah-san? What is that 'Ultimate Evil' they spoke of so much? Kiruko-san put her hands on her pockets, and sighed. "Sorry, but you can't kill me now~, maybe when my series is over, you can do whatever you want with me in your future story. Even better, rewrite the story with someone else. Just kidding. But for you to consider this cheating... This is just unfair."
"What...?!" Nemesis lost her cool, and tried to take a step. Kiruko-san only sighed, and turned around, walking away from Kuoh, saying something with the lines of 'Second period is coming anyway' or something like that. "Hey! What the hell?! Answer me, damn it!"
"Let me answer your question... With another question..." And she turned her head to face us with an aside glance. "If I were someone dear to you... Would you keep bitching about it like that?"
"How's that even answer anything?!"
"I dunnoooo~, I just wanted to say that." And soon, a shadow portal opened right in front of her, engulfing her like a magic rune would. Nemesis even tried again to use [RTE] against Kiruko-san, but out of nowhere, a shadow appeared out of her feet and engulfed that power of destruction, turning it into a box and then vanishing onto nonexistence. Kiruko-san turned around to face us one more time. "[Shadow prison Balance Breaker: Dark Alcatraz.]."
"What the...?!"
"I'm not the girl you used to know, Nemesis-san. I became stronger with each fight. Death can't hold me when I fight for my friends and those precious to me... Or something like that, I guess." She said with a faint mocking smile, before finally vanishing into the portal and disappear in thin air. "Goodbye and thanks for all the fish..."
That girl... That girl... What is she? What are the Miyama runaways? What do they want? So much questions in so little time. Nemesis and the others are speechless, and soon the barrier broke, returning everything to normal. Everyone was altered with the encounter with such abnormal enemy. She wasn't a girl, she was a mystery after mystery. I heard a dripping sound nearby, and when I knew best, it came from my King, blood dripping from her clenched hands, while she was grunting and crying in frustration.
"Nemesis..."
"Lady Gremory..."
"Nemesis-san..."
"Leave me... Alone." She simply said. By her low tone, she's really close to an outburst herself. So we left her be. No one is in the mood to talk either. We were all trembling and deep in thoughts. If it was because of her Balance Breaker or the fact that we lost to a single enemy, we don't know. The day just became darker out of the sudden...
However, we've decided this: next time we find the Black Dragon Kiruko, she'll pay for that, for our King...
However, if the weakest dragon King could defeat us... How about the others?
.
~~x~~
.
Man, what a relief. Apparently, Matsuoka-san missed school today again, so, according with sensei, I can reclaim my place beside Shiori-san again! What a plus to my day. We talked a lot during morning time, and we shared some ideas with each other during classes. This is actually the first time I talked normally to someone new who isn't aware of my status. Not that I don't like my new supernatural friends, but I'm glad that, even when human, I would be able to maintain such a healthy relationship with someone, specially this girl I've a crush on!
Lunchtime came as soon as I knew it, and like always, I picked my lunchbox and walked away from my classroom. I'd love to talk and lunch with Shiori-san, but it's time to organize the gym for the rest of the trials and have to take a patrol with Ren. Sigh, still, we can chat a lot all the way...
"Hey, Sekiryuutei..." However, in one particular corridor, someone called for my title. For a instant, I remained silent to avoid any kind of misunderstand in case it was someone else. When it called for me again, I turned around, and standing tall in front of me, there she is, black long hair balancing on the air, and piercing violet eyes, with her eyes crossed and eyes turned to me in a frown. That little bitch Bael, Ludger. "Greetings, Sekiryuutei."
"What do you want, Bael? It's lunchtime now." I frowned back at her. My response apparently didn't pleased her, as she slapped my lunchbox out of my hands. All of Yoko's efforts came to waste as the plastic box hit the ground. I turned to her in rage! "Hey! What's the idea?!"
"Mind your words when talking to me, trash." She said in a disdainful tone. I really wanted to punch her square in the face, but this is Kuoh. I can't hit a girl with others around. I grunted, and heavily sighed my stress away. I also crossed my arms, gently kicking the remains of my lunchbox away so that no one would stomp on it, and turned back to Ludger. "Enough crying? Good, now, I have a propose to you."
"Yes... Talk away." I responded with a grunt. She wants to talk with me, but at least show some sympathy first. But I can't do that now, who knows what she'll do to me.
"Very well. You know very well that, in my eyes, you're the worst Sekiryuutei who ever lived. Even lower than Issei Hyoudou. No respect and no class, just like that, just like him."
*BITE!*
"...?"
"Go on..." Was all I could mutter under the bite of my own hand. Talking shit about senpai is unforgivable, so I resumed my rage in just biting my own hand. I think I ripped my own skin, I don't care, at least the pain is taking the anger away.
"Brute. But, well, it came to my mind that, according to the information I gathered, you're the only one without a respectful background in your peerage. Berolina's the daughter the current lord Lucifer, Sayuri's the daughter of the Vampire aristocrat Desmond Hellsing and the leader of the Hot spring hidden ninja Village Haruka, Natalia's the heiress of the Campbell Mage name and Liu Bei was trained under the tutelage of Sun Wukong himself." She said. Oh, so Tasha's name is really 'Natalia'. What a thing. But, I don't see her point. "Out of the four pieces under the command of Berolina Gremory, you're the one who is completely apart from them, being a normal human without a single achievement or special lineage."
"I am." My mother is a famous businesswoman and editor of a manga company and my... Father... Is a diplomat and freelancer photographer. I don't care what she says, they're still overachieved people.
Mostly my mother. My father sucks.
"No, you're not. Which came to my mind that maybe is that what might cause your progress retardation. On the hot springs, you showed impressive evolutionary potential, but for some reason, your actual battle performance is yet to be desired, and according to Lady Beelzebub, you're not bad either in swordsmanship and have high potential with magic, yet is mediocre in both of them."
"Get to the point, Bael. What do you want from me? If you want to spit on my face about my status as the red dragon, I don't care at all! If anything, wait until today's trial, for what I care!" I said to her face! Yeah, I don't give a single crap of what she thinks of me! I have my own resolve, and one day, she'll see! I'll make her swallow her own words! However, she stayed composed. She looked at me deep in the eyes, and sighed.
"Very well, you brute, I'll say it." She took a deep breath, sighed, and looked at me with those amethyst orbs. I blushed. She's an arrogant bitch, but there's no denying that she's also kinda pretty. I turned back to her, and she spoke. "Ichijou Tsukino, heir of the legacy left by issei Hyoudou, the current Sekiryuutei..."
Would you like to be my Queen piece?
And close the curtains. Will he accept the propouse even if he has to live with that bitch? What do you guys think. People are having mixed feelings about ludger, but I'll make her soft a little. She's able to cry, so I can write some humanity into her. But the worries lies on the rest of the miyama runaways. Can you think of what the other two girls can do? I do, I do...
and for the guest what has been asking about berolina, as a remember, she'll be appearing soon. Don't worry~~. For the rest of you, stay golden.
