Light hit my eyes as morning came and sitting up, I noticed I was alone.
Which I was okay with. Even though I really liked Toujou and sure anyone in this situation would be filled with delight that their crush might like them back, I really didn't know what to think about it. I hadn't prepared myself for how he felt.
Or the fact he had left me breakfast on the table.
Upon seeing the stack of pancakes, the lump in my throat returned.
First he says those things and then he goes and does this!
Frustrated, I smacked my forehead and covered my eyes.
I can't ignore what happened...
Cautiously I picked up the fork.
Why do they have to smell so good?
I began to dig in and the pancakes sweetness engulfed my senses.
They hit the spot.
Why do they have to taste so good?!
In almost a blink of an eye, the plate was empty. I was at my limit.
I really can't ignore what happened...even if he was asleep...what should I do? I can't just go up like nothing.
My thoughts were interrupted by a loud yawn. My alone time was gone and Mastema was fully awake thanks to the sudden boost of energy that the pancakes gave. He wasted no time and had me leave the apartment right away. He led me all the way to the Oga residence.
"Etsuko?"
Misaki's eyes widened seeing me standing at her door.
"Wow, it is really you! It's been a while!" She tightened her grip for a minute before she loosened it. "You know, I always thought your sister was exaggerating about how much you've changed. I see it now though."
"Hey stop holding Takenaka up!" Oga as he appeared by the doorway.
"I wasn't holding her up! We were having a moment!" Misaki instantly had him in a choke hold.
"More like you blabbing your mouth off while she is forced to listen!" He retorted which he then regretted because she tightened her grasp.
"Ah...Misaki." I called to get her attention. "It was really got to see you but I should go with Oga now though. It isn't fair to keep the others waiting."
The anger she felt faded and she smiled.
"Okay, then." She dropped Oga in a flash. "I'll be meeting up with Saeka later to study. I'll be sure to mention I saw you. That will make your sister happy."
"Saeka is your sister? That deranged woman?
"We've been through this before." Misaki shook her head in disappointment. "Saeka's last name is Takenaka." She then pointed at me. "And her last name is Takenaka."
Oga's eyes widened as it clicked in his mind.
"Oh!"
Misaki pushed him towards the stairs.
He muttered something about her annoying and walked back to his room.
"Go back to your room!"
She turned her attention back to me and sighed.
"You know although he's a big idiot, Tatsumi has a lot of weird things happening to him. Today it involved some weird crab lady and creeper. Freaking come and try to destroy my house." She clenched her fist remembering the events from earlier then she calmed down and continued. "He tries to keep everything to himself but he slips up sometimes. I can't piece it together completely but he's mentioned your name a few times. I guess it's because you've earned his trust. It makes me happy to know that."
"You can say we've been through a lot recently."
"It was really good to see you." She said in a gentle voice and gave me one more smile. "You've really made something of yourself"
I opened my mouth to speak but Misaki took my hand and started to lead me into the house.
"C'mon I'll lead you to the idiot's room."
She did and before I knew it I was sitting down on the floor with twelve pairs of eyes facing me. They were waiting for me to say something, well for Mastema to say something. Talking taking control over my body, he greeted everyone by saying "Sup" and then asking how everyone was doing.
"That is freaking weird how they just change like that…" Oga muttered over to Furuichi who agreed. Hilda was the only one annoyed by Master's presence.
"Master Mastema, please don't keep my master waiting any longer!"
"You're always so pushy." Mastema sighed and shrugged his shoulders. "Very well…. As you all know, I was taken by Takamiya for a little while. I eventually broke the hold placed on me and used the connections available to obtain information on the enemy. As I did, I found the location of Beelze's mother and passed on my information to Forkas, who passed this on to Hilda."
"Beel's mother?" Oga and Furuichi asked in unison. Mastema nodded then looked over at Hilda to add on.
"Go on. Your turn."
She glared at him but did what was expected of her.
"Yes after I went back the Demon World, I did a lot of checking, but I couldn't find anything. Just when I was about to lose all hope, Forkas picked me right up with this information. He gave me two solid pieces of information. The first was their name, The Solomon Company. They got their hands on the painting the overlord made...there were a bunch of things that didn't make much sense, but... apparently, they have a connection within the Royal Court."
Both Alain Delon and Lamia looked shaken up at the news and turned to Mastema.
"Are you kidding?! We have a traitor among our midst...and it's someone of noble blood? Master Mastema please explain!" Alain Delon cried out, almost getting out of his seat.
"I will. After Hilda finishes." Mastema put a hand on Alain Delon's shoulder and told him to wait a little more.
"Right...I don't know how but...They've managed to get their hands on the six of the seven deadly sins."
"Wait a sec." Oga began, trying to piece everything together. "What're these seven deadly sins? That dumb couple also mentioned them."
Hilda sighed and closed her eyes.
"The seven deadly sins are...The former kings of separate countries from before the Demon World was unified. Mammon, Lucifer, Belphegor, Leviathan, Satan, Asmodeus, and the current overlord, Beelzebub III."
"But, how is that even possible? They may not have their full power, but they're still demons in the same class as the overlord. How could a normal human capture the?"
"You're absolutely right." Hilda told Lamia. "And that brings me to my second major find. Madam, Iris. Master Beelzebub's mother...is in the company."
"Does that mean...the traitor is…?" Lamia muttered, afraid to finish.
"There's no way she would ever do something like that! Not a chance!" Hilda yelled, cutting her off. "I'm sure my lady was captured...and is now being used. If they could use her power, then capturing seven deadly sins would be possible."
"Then let's go see. Hilda, rather than getting angry, you should go and see for yourself. Besides, Beel probably wants to see his mother. And we're going to have to eventually fight it out with the Solomon Company anyway...Right, Oga?"
Furuichi turned to his best friend to see him already loose interest on what was being said.
"Hell no. What a total pain… If it's just a mother, she's already sitting right there. And I don't want another annoying one to be on my ass. However..." Oga got to his feet and picked up Baby Beel. "If I were going to give my two cents to the woman that had you and then dropped you like a bad habit, then that's a different story. Right Beel?"
"Ai!" Oga then turned to Mastema and raised an eyebrow."Fill us in then Uncle."
"Right. Well concerning Iris, she is the reason the Solomon Company has been able to get the six of the seven deadly sins and keep them on a leash. As for her whereabouts, she is currently inside The Solomon Companies headquarters. Which is located in America."
"America!"
"More specifically, the city of Angels; Los Angeles. Going there you will find her and get to set things straight like you wanted but I'm not going to let you go in your merry way without understanding a few things. All these students that have attacked you using demon energy are what they call the six omens. The demons they have been using are as you guessed it are the six of the seven deadly sins and they have been coming at you at depending on level of how they are able to use a demon's power."
"Next comes Fuji. I know."
"Not only Fuji but Satan as well." Hilda corrected, knowing this was what Mastema wanted to hear.
"So? I'll take care of him like I did the rest when I come back. Akaboshi got the same way when we talked. Getting a lot of people together to fight him and The Solomon Company just seems too complicated, i'd just go at it without thinking too much about it."
Oga then changed his tone of voice.
He was no longer complaining but instead got serious.
"I'm guessing that everyone's going to go about it with the same attitude since I can't be in two places at once. Furuichi is coming with me so he can't hold the fort while I'm gone. And by the looks of it, I'm guessing you're staying here?"
"You're right." Mastema answered and Oga nodded.
"Great. Then I'll leave everything to Takenaka."
My eyes widened hearing my name.
"What?"
"For now you'll be in charge of the school. That way I can deal with Beel's mom without worrying that someone will mess things up for me while I'm away. I'm trusting you to stall Fuji and keep Ishiyama High together until I come back."
I looked at him shocked, unable to find the right response because I wasn't sure if this was the right thing.
Is this really okay? I know getting to Beelze's mother is urgent but Fuji is coming. Letting Oga go like that...
There's really no other way around it. It has to happen.
Coming back to reality, I turned my attention the group and nodded.
"I'll make sure nothing gets messed up."
"Then allow me to stay. I can be used as a relay point since I'm a transfer demon. I'd be honored not only be of service to you all while you're in America but Master Mastema and you as well, !"
Alain Delon had suddenly threw himself in front of me and bowed.
Before I could answer, Beel put a hand on his forehead and blessed him.
"Dah!"
"Thank you, Master Beelzebub!" Alain Delon cried out loud with tears streaming down his face. He then grabbed Furuichi and hugged him/almost killed him again. Oga eventually got fed up and ripped Furuichi away.
Once everyone settled down we continued talking about their trip to Los Angeles and after another hour passed, we finished.
"Try to have an open mind about Iris." Mastema got up from our seat and walked past everyone. He stopped next to Beelze and smiled "Whatever happens, stay strong."
Mastema gave a slight wave and continued walking until leaving the room.
Why didn't you tell them that Iris is being manipulated? Don't you think they should know that before they go?
They will learn. There is a process to this so don't worry about it. Like I said, things will get sorted out when Oga and Beel meet Iris.
Okay, if you think so then I will too.
Good to know you're on board because now that Oga has left you in charge it makes things a little easier.
Easier for what?
To make my plan to confront Fuji real. So far I have thought about gathering an infantry that will protect against any attack. It would be made out of two main groups of strong and capable fighters. At their head will be the general, me of course, and the number one soldier a.k.a you. Which works out now that Oga has left you in charge because you have more power to back it up. Also you can now summon numerous Skeleton Men and therefore make up the number of additional fighters. Fuji and his minions will have a hard time conquering Ishiyama High if there's a united front slowing him down.
You want to have an infantry and want me to lead them?!
Uh, yeah. While we were separated I thought about what went wrong with confronting Lucifer. The team we had with Hilda was good and the strategies we used were good too but the problem was that we had supplied ourselves with little resources and connections. This won't happen with Satan. If we form an infantry they will fill those gaps. They will do it even more if they have one of their own leading them. That is the number one soldier. A good general always selects one because they not only prove they will move mountains in order to fulfill a mission but also make way for the rest of the soldiers to follow. That number one soldier is you. You have what it takes to lead and that's why Oga left you in charge of not only the school but of your group because he knows you have earned the others respect enough that they will listen to you and would trust your sense of direction.
Ah...okay, you've convinced me...who do you have in mind of being a part of this infantry?
The remaining Omens and the Saint Group. You will need to convince them to help slow Fuji down.
Alright. I can do that.
There is a lot that will happen. You need to take a note of that and although I believe you can, you need to fully commit to this.
It will only be tough until Oga comes back...I got this.
This time you can't let your emotions get in the way at all. Especially the ones you have for Toujou.
I stopped walking and fell silent.
Mastema had a good reason to analyze what went wrong in our previous encounter with one of the Omens. My fight with Takamiya went down the way it did because I let my feelings get in the way. Whatever made it so that things didn't end as bad then wouldn't work with Fuji. He was going to unleash all sorts of bad.
I didn't really know how to reply. What was going to happen was going to be bigger than my little crush on Toujou. Things needed to get settled because if Fujo comes and there's any loose ends then I would let Oga and the others down.
I won't let them get in the way.
So you're prepared for anything?
Yes.
Mastema then changed the subject and said he was going to take a nap. I was back to having alone time and I started to feel drained. I mean my day had been heavy so far and it was barely early afternoon. The energy the pancakes had given me needed to be replaced. Searching for my fix I ventured off to a nearby grocery store. Once I bought a bag of candy, I was ready to leave when the magazine stand caught my eye. More specifically, a row of Shojo Manga. Pretty soon my feet started to move on their own towards the aisle and I began to read various stories.
I need to settle things. I need to tell him. These books will show me how.
I flipped through different pages that had a confession illustrated on them.
"Please go out with me". That just sounds funny even thinking it..."You're the only one I want". No, it's too direct... Should I be direct? It should sound simple…"I like you, Hidetora."...I don't think he'd take me seriously If I just went with that...I can't say any of these!
Out of frustration, I popped even more candy into my mouth. I was too hooked on trying to wrap my head around these Shojo Manga's that I didn't notice a certain horsemen staring at me.
"Uh, Takenaka-san...what are you doing?" Shizuka asked standing a few feet away from me. I didn't respond and was still frantically flipping through pages. She walked up beside me and took a deep breath before calling me again this time more loudly, making me jump and look at her wide eyed.
Gou wasn't lying about you spacing out on stuff.
She thought to herself seeing me calm myself down after realizing it was her.
"Are you okay?"
"Uh...um…yeah."
"Are you sure?" Genuine concern crossed her face. "Tora recently told me you were in some sort of coma."
Somehow, I felt even more embarrassed about Toujou telling her that than getting caught researching on how to make a confession.
"Ah, yeah. I lost a fight. I'm okay now. Thank you for worrying."
"I'm glad you're okay. Tora must be so happy now."
The embarrassment tripled at her words.
"What are you doing though?" She asked looking at the stacks of manga's near me.
The embarrassment was almost at maximum capacity at this point.
At my silence, she looked even closer on the pages that each manga was open on and she looked back at me.
"You're not going to find your answer there."
"W-What answer?"
"On how to open up about your feelings. You finally figured them out and now you're thinking about what to do next." She said taking the book out of my hand and putting it back. "These won't help you."
I said nothing.
She bent down and picked up the rest of the books and put them back.
"Love is different for each person."
There was a bit of silence between the both of us after she said that but she eventually broke it again.
"For the longest time I thought of Tora as my special person. There was so much I felt towards him but I couldn't tell him. I convinced myself I had to wait. Someday he will get it through his thick head. Then I meet you and saw how attached he was to you. Everything I wanted was being lived through you. I got very jealous because of it."
'Sh-" She cut me off and told me to just keep listening.
"All I saw between you two was a strong bond made with no conscious effort. Something that just clicked. The way he saw you told me he wanted to be with you. It hurt at the beginning. Then it was something I knew I couldn't interfere in. I decided to support him. If he's happy that's all that matters. That's the kind of love I have for him. You got to work with what you got. If he's special to you, you have to make it work. I'm telling you this so you can find your own way to approach the requited love you have for Tora. Do you understand?"
"Yeah, although...I kind of feel like I should be saying sorry..."
"Don't be silly. You haven't done anything wrong."
"Thank you, Shizuka."
"Tora isn't my only friend, you know. You are too."
"Right."
Shizuka smile increased as she nudged me on the side.
"I'm betting he will faint after you confess."
She began to laugh at the startled expression on my face.
"It was good to see you again. Saint Ishiyama is too quiet without you guys."
"Yeah, it's good to see you again too. Again thank you."
"Don't mention it."
We both said our goodbyes and went our separate ways.
"I guess that's that." Shizuka said to herself once I was out of sight and sighed. She then shrugged her shoulders and returned to her shopping.
I took out my phone and sent a mass text to everyone from the Ishiyama group. The message told them to come to my apartment tonight for a meeting.
I was going to kill two birds with one stone; Get everyone from Saint Ishiyama to go along with Mastema's plan and I was going to talk to Toujou.
"All of them are coming here?" Asked Rin later on in my apartment. She decided to make a surprise visit just five minutes before everyone was supposed to arrive. "To talk about demon stuff right?"
"Yeah."
"And that's why he's here too?" She pointed at Alain Delon who sat next to her.
"Yeah."
"This is really developing. Last time everyone was here was to check up on a fallen comrade and now is to get together in full glory." Rin then shot up from her seat. "We need lots of tea then!"
Soon people started to arrive little by little.
First the Red Tails.
Next was Kanzaki's group.
Third was Toujou, Aizawa, and Jinno.
I had kept my distance from Toujou, I was going to tell him my feelings but that didn't mean I wasn't nervous. I did my best to not show it and keep up face just like the others did.
But of course Toujou decided to throw that out the window.
"Oh, yeah! Etsuko, how did you like the pancakes I made you?" He asked very loudly even though I was sitting in front of him. "After what you did last night...I had to make them to say thank you. You were really great. I woke up feeling a little sore but I sure did feel great!"
I almost started choking on the tea Rin had served me.
Rin had almost dropped the tea she had just made.
Aoi went completely silent and red as hell.
Kanzaki looked at us in disbelief.
Yuka started cheering.
And Natsume asked if I was that good.
Toujou of course didn't get it but he continued since I didn't answer yet.
"I have never really thanked you for bandaging my wounds so when I saw you had pancake mix, I just went for it. Did you like them?"
At hearing this I took a breath of relief.
Aoi calmed down and returned to her normal color.
Kanzaki lost interest.
Yuka was disappointed.
And Natsume still asked if I was that good.
"Y..yeah..I did. They were delicious..."
Toujou gave me a bright grin as pride radiated off him. It didn't last long because Himekawa interrupted soon made his grand appearance by arriving in a limo. Which made my neighbors go crazy and caused a small commotion.
"I didn't think this place would be this small." He said as he walked through the door of my apartment. He looked around and nodded. "Yeah, pretty small."
"Don't diss my apartment, jerk. Your hair fits in here doesn't it?"
Himekawa ignored me and snapped his fingers.
Three large men carrying boxes came in and dropped them off.
"I bought more but this place is small. I'll have my servants drop about 3-5 boxes every month."
"What the hell is this?"
"One of the new maids has kept scolding me for not apologizing to you. I'm not but I thought this would compensate." Himekawa looked over at the three large man and gave them the signal to open the boxes. "In total there's about a years' worth with the rest of the boxes."
Peering inside, the boxes were filled with lots and lots of candy.
I forgot how to breathe for a moment.
"Now will you stop bothering me with that?" Himekawa asked looking over at Rin who was trying to calm me down. She froze knowing her secret was discovered. In all honesty, she did give herself away by forgetting her wig one day. Rin just thought she got away with saying that she was her own twin sister. "Yes, Master Tatsuya!"
Kanzaki raised an eyebrow at all the candy.
"What about Toujou? You did fuck him up too."
"That was a fair fight...Though I did not only compensate Takenaka in this."
Himekawa tilted his head at Toujou who was gagging at the sight of that much candy just as much as I was.
Eventually we both calmed down and there was no one else to wait for.
"Okay, now that everyone's here we can start"
"Wait, what about Oga? He's coming too right?!" Worry rang in Aoi's voice.
"Yeah, Furuichi too right?" Kanzaki asked after.
"They're not coming. That's why I called for this meeting."
"What do you mean?"
"Oga and Furuichi are in America right now."
Everyone's eyes widened at the news.
Rin shushed them before any of them could scream "WHAT?!", reminding them I had neighbors. She then told me to go on.
I did by I telling them that Oga and Furuichi went to Los Angeles to destroy The Solomon Company at their headquarters and that Oga had wanted the group to prepare themselves for Fuji, who was going to come and start a big fight.
"The match against Takamiya was big and in all honest, it was hard. It took a lot out of each of us. But compare to this upcoming fight, that a piece of cake. Fuji is no joke. He's going to tear the whole town a part just to find Oga."
"You can't be serious."
"I wish I was." I grasped the empty cup of tea in my hand and took a deep breath. "And because of this, Oga has left me in charge to prepare for his fight against Fuji. They're ganna fight it out but until then we can't have this asshole do what he wants."
"We need to slow him down then? Kill time until Oga comes back to take him down."
"Yeah. When Fuji comes he will come with minions under him and each will be linked to him like Takamiya, except how many there are isn't known yet...He can't win any way. That's why I have decided to ask Akaboshi, Takamiya, Ichikawa, Ringo, and Nasubi to help us."
"What!"
"We can't do it alone. They are strong and can help defend the school."
"It makes sense. If you're dealing with a guy like that." Aoi spoke as she thought about it. "I would do the same thing."
"If fighting it out like crazy is out of the question then this isn't bad." Toujou mused with one of his hands cupping his chin. "We're still the head honcho's in this. They try something funny and we'll just put them in their place." Toujou then turned his head to look over at me. "Besides if Etsuko thinks we should do this then we should."
"Toujou is right. Takenaka hasn't given us any reason not to trust her." Kanzaki spoke up, sitting up. "We just have to last long enough until Oga comes back then everything will be okay."
"Yeah! We can do that!" Yuka yelled, jumping out of her seat with her fist held high.
"Having an anti-demon barrier can also make this happen."
Everyone turned to Himekawa.
He was on a roll today.
"My time with Takamiya wasn't for nothing. I can have that made."
"That will give us more of a chance to keep Ishiyama High together. Satan won't be able to touch the school."
"Satan?" Kanzaki, Yuka, Toujou, and a few of the others asked.
"He will be coming with Fuji. He or Fuji can't take over the school. The school is our base. Whatever happens we have to stay together at school. If they decide to attack and you're not at school, go to school. Got it?"
"Uh, yeah." Was basically how everyone responded.
"I will be meeting with the others tomorrow and see what other information I can get. They know about Fuji a little more than me at this point so I will need them to form a battle plan. I'll let you know what happens."
No one objected and nodded, saying they'll come for another meeting. Since there was nothing else to discuss, people started to leave. The only one who suddenly changed his attitude was Toujou right as he got up. The only people left around the room was Aizawa, Jinno, Rin, and Alain Delon.
"Do these plans include you taking on this Fuji guy?"
I blinked in surprise at his tone. He wasn't mad but it was forceful.
"Erm...if I have to...then yes."
Toujou's uncertain expression didn't change and only deepened.
"I will only be holding him off until Oga comes back."
"Taking him together would be okay then."
"Huh?"
"It wouldn't be unfair if he's that strong."
Toujou nodded and crossed his arms over his chest as he thought it over.
I stared at him wide eyed, trying to process what he had just said.
"Hidetora, no." My voice was quiet and my words fell apart as they went out of my mouth. "...you can't..."
"Why? I told you that I will be the person who will tough it out with you."
Rin who had been observing from the kitchen looked over to the remaining guest and they all exchanged a similar look.
"Look at the time." She said loudly, breaking the tension.
"We'll we better go. I forgot to buy some bread and the grocery store is closing soon. Let's go Jinno."
"Right."
"Ms. Takenaka, it was a pleasure to serve you today. I should leave as well, in order to prepare for tomorrow's meeting. I have to get in character."
"What? Wait what did you and Oga plan?"
Alain Delon didn't explain and followed Aizawa and Jinno out the door, saying good night. Rin Ran up behind me and gave me a quick hug.
"Etsuko-chan." I heard Rin whisper in my ear. "Don't hold back."
"How did you-"
"Because I'm your best friend."
My face heated up and she giggled softly before waving bye to Toujou then running out the door. This did very little to distract Toujou from the subject because he kept his straight face on.
"If this guy is seriously strong enough to be on about the same level as Oga, he will be coming at you even harder."
"Yeah, he will. I am prepared for that."
"Me too. It doesn't matter what he throws at me, as long as I got your back its okay."
Those words hit me and had my heart beating.
"I know but it's not your responsibility...It's mine." I sighed and looked down at my hands that slightly trembled. I was surprise I wasn't stuttering at this point. "I need to do it alone. I might not be at the same level but I am capable of pushing him back. Just a little. That is enough."
A deep weight pushed itself on to me as my mouth went shut. I bit my lip out of habit but pushed on.
"I love you too much to let you take on a responsibility that's not yours."
The words left my lips and up to the ear and eventually burned themselves into Toujou's ears.
"You...love me..."
Slowly but surely, they engraved themselves onto him as his whole being turned red and his eyes widened.
The next instant, he fainted.
"Hidetora!" I rushed to his side as fast as I could to catch him but I wasn't fast enough and he hit his head against the table.
"Oh my god! Man down!"
My head turned to see Rin emerging up from the outside window. She held her phone up facing Toujou and I. Once we made eye contact, she slapped her hand over her mouth.
"We've been caught!" She whispered very loudly.
"We?! Only you fool!" A voice hissed back.
I knew this voice.
It was none other than Saeka.
Rin looked away from the older Takenaka and gulped seeing me start to scowl at them.
"Yay, you did it Etsuko-chan!" She cheered trying to distract me. "You snagged your man!"
Saeka by now was up and like Rin, she had her phone in her hand and was recording.
"Don't give us that face. How could you not tell me about this? Don't you want to share this precious moment with me, your older sister?!"
"Because it's not a public announcement!"
"It could have been! That way we wouldn't have to hide!"
"Look Toujou-kun is waking up." Rin interrupted.
We all looked down to see him start to open his eyes. He let out a small groan and rubbed his head.
"Etsuko..."
"Hold on. I'll get some ice for that." I went over to his side.
He shook his head and looked at me straight in the eyes.
"That puppy Aizawa was referring to was you and I get now why Aoi told me that stuff. I get why I care for you more than usual..."
Toujou stopped when he realized Saeka and Rin were in the room as well.
He then turned bright red and went silent.
Saeka's mouth twitched and her temper started to flare.
"Don't leave us hanging like that!"
With all her might, she punched him and sent him flying.
He was once again out cold.
"Man down!" Rin yelled again as she recorded the whole thing on her phone.
Thank you for reading!
I know it's been far too long. I ended up really busy with school and didn't have time then once I was out of school I started working with this chapter again but to be honest this was the hardest chapter I had to work on. I did a lot of editing and revisions. I am in complete shock that it took me a month later to finish it. But it's done!
Since you all have been waiting patiently, I decided to give you all a long chapter.
I am just so happy to finally post it. Hope you all like it!
Feel free to send me feedback :)
Thank you again!
P.S: I've started another story and if any of you like Saiyuki, you should read it. It has another one of my OC's who like Etsuko is super badass.
