Chapter 31
We're almost there! thought Akuma to himself as he and the group raced towards the bright light. As the group broke through the light and exited the hall they entered an enormous and amazing room.
"Waaaah~!" shouted everyone in amazement at the beautiful room. The group slowly made their way to the center of the room as they all looked around and inspected it.
The room was an enormous, circular one of around half a football field in diameter and had wood walls and a wooden floor. In the ceiling was a white, film-like glass which was brightly lit and surrounded by more wood. The walls had a rustic and nature look and trees were growing out of the ground and into the roof in random places. At the back of the room was a wooden staircase which seemed to lead downwards.
After everyone had reached the center of the room a few small balls of light flew, from the direction of the stairs, towards them.
"Hi hi hi!" shouted one of the balls of light shouted after reaching them. "Is this everyone?"
Akuma turned around and did a quick headcount then sighed in relief that no one was left behind. He turned back and nodded.
"Okay! Eins! Zwei! Drei!" shouted the ball of light before everyone heard a loud slamming coming from the hall. The sound approached them, rapidly, and they realized it was the doors closing. The last door closed and a wooden cover encased it.
The balls of light broke in a sort of pop and fairies appeared in front of them.
"Hello, Lord Akuma! I'm Mephisto, a male fairy. We are the 5 fairies that will be your servants during your stay here. I am the head fairy so if there is anything you need, please, do not hesitate to ask," explained Mefisto as he floated in front of them.
"Oh…uh…hi. How did you know we were coming?" asked Akuma in a confused voice.
"Lord Shinigami informed us. He was informed, by the previous Lord, how to contact us and told us that you were coming," explained Mephisto. "The previous Lord was the one who created this place in order to be a safe haven in case the students in the school needed to escape somewhere."
"Ahhh…That's pretty cool," said Melody, her curiosity peaked.
"Yup!" began Mephisto. "So, let me show you guys around!"
"Please do!" said Akuma, excitedly.
"Alright! This room that we are in now will serve as the training room. It's nice and open so that you guys will have lots of room to train. The trees have a spell to protect them so you don't have to worry about breaking them; you can even use them as a punching bag if you want," explained Mephisto as he pointed out things and guided everyone to the stairs. "These stairs lead down to the living space. The floor of this room is thick enough that the sound won't bother the people downstairs."
Everyone was led downstairs and two of the fairies broke off and disappeared into the dark, unlit room. After a few seconds lights came on one after another and everyone was in awe at the enormous and amazing room.
"This is where you all will be living. This room we are in now is the sleeping area. There is a bed and nightstand for all of you here. In the back are two doors and another to the side, one leading to the branch which splits off into the male bath and the female bath. Off to the right is a door that leads to the branch which leads to the closet and bathrooms. The closet should be big enough to store around 200 clothes. The bathrooms are divided; there are 10 stalls with a sink in each. Lastly, is the door on the side which leads off into the laundry room/kitchen area. The kitchen area/laundry room, has everything in a kitchen such as a stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, cabinets full of dishes and glasses, etc; and has two washing machines and dryers for cleaning clothes, a large hamper, and an ironing station," explained Mephisto, as he turned back to face them. Everyone stared at him with a confused look as they tried to absorb everything. The main thing that many were paying attention to was that the room they were in was the sleeping area.
"This bed is mine!" shouted Kara before she sped over to a bed in the corner.
"I call this one!" shouted Melody as she jumped over to a comfy looking bed in the middle of the room. Blue*Star immediately followed her and got the bed next to her, causing her to blush slightly. Everyone else spread out among the beds and made themselves comfortable.
"Uwaaahhhh~! This bed is so soft!" shouted Demi as she laid, face down, on the bed and snuggled into it.
"We should get ourselves set up, guys," said Angela, sternly, as she began to set herself up at her station. Everyone else followed, slowly, and soon everyone finished up and began to explore the rooms after going to the closet and storing their things.
Later that night…
"Mnnnnnh…I'm so tired," said Melody as she collapsed into bed. Melody had already slipped on her pajamas and most everyone was already asleep except for a few of them who were playing cards upstairs. It was already around 1 in the morning and Melody was exhausted with the antics of checking everything out.
Melody curled up under the covers and began to drift off before feeling a tugging on her hair. After a few times of trying to swat it away, Melody cracked her eyes open to find a ready-for-bed Yami standing in front of her clutching his teddy bear and holding a strand of her hair.
"Mnhhh…what is it, Yami?" said Melody, groggily.
"Sis, I can't sleep…" whined Yami, as he rubbed his eyes. Yami was like this when they moved the first time into their new house after their old one got too small. He wasn't good with sleeping in unfamiliar places.
"Get in," Melody said as she lifted up the covers, inviting him in. Yami's face, which was usually fairly emotionless, lit up and he immediately climbed in and clutched onto his sister, his teddy bear in between them. Melody let the covers down and she wrapped her hand around Yami while he snuggled in, happily. After a few minutes Melody heard Yami snoring, lightly, as he had already fallen asleep and his peacefulness caused Melody to drift off almost immediately.
The next morning…
"Melody," whispered a voice, causing Melody to be torn from dream world.
"Mnhhh…who?" said Melody as she was broken from her sleep. She cracked open her eyes and found Kara, Angela, and the other girls standing by her bed.
"Get up and come with us to the kitchen," whispered Kara before she and the girls began to walk towards the kitchen. Melody had no idea what was going on, but she did what she was told and slipped out of Yami's tight grasp and drifted to the kitchen.
"Why the hell would wake me up so early?" said Melody, in an annoyed tone, at Kara.
"We decided to make breakfast for the boys since we wanted to give them an incentive to not make the place too messy while we're here but we realized there's no food!" said Kara, in a bit of a panic. They heard a light twinkle and one of the fairies came out of a medium sized birdhouse in the corner of the kitchen.
"You girls are up early. Is anything the matter?" asked the fairy.
"Who are you?" asked Demi, who peeked out from the back.
"Oh! My name is Ikaros! I'm the one in charge of the kitchen area/laundry room. Are you guys planning on cooking something?" asked Ikaros, curiously.
"Yeah! But there's no food!" shouted Kara in an annoyed tone.
"Yeah, I have to manifest it here. What do you guys need?" asked Ikaros.
"Manifest?" said Melody in a confused tone.
"Yeah! I can create food for you guys using energy from soul wavelengths. That energy also powers the rooms here. In case you guys are wondering, this room gets power from the souls that Lord Shinigami plants in the Death Room up above," explained Ikaros.
"Really? Wow I didn't realize that the souls that uncle plants were like that," said Shiro with a mildly emotionless tone.
"Yup! 3" said Ikaros, happily, while holding her hand out in a peace sign.
"Alright, alright, if you can poof in the food then we need it quick. If we are gonna surprise the boys, so we've gotta get this done quickly," said Kara, impatiently.
The girls gave Ikaros a long list of foods to manifest and they began cooking as soon as they had what they needed. After around an hour of cooking they had enough food prepared for everyone. By then the boys had all woken up and discovered that the girls were cooking and then set up a table and chairs which Mephisto manifested in for them.
Everyone ate, happily, and the boys cleaned up afterwards as a thank you to the girls for the delicious meal. Many blushes were made during that meal as Blue*Star complimented Melody's food, Akuma complimented Kara's food which made her hit him and blush, and Shiro blushed when one of the boys tried her food. So far their time in this place was filled with happy faces and messing around, though this wouldn't last long as they needed to begin their training regimen.
"Alright! Now that we've got playtime out of the way, it's time to start training!" said Angela while everyone sat together in the training room. "We will be training Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday are resting days but you will be studying everything that you will be missing from school for the indefinite amount of time we will be spending here. Sunday is a free day. I don't care what you do as long as you don't cause disruptions or hurt yourselves. I will be in charge of magic and meister training. Merlin will be in charge of hand-to-hand combat and soul attacks. Diana and Sora will be in charge of Resonance and weapon training. Is this all clear?"
"Yesssss!" shouted everyone in agreement.
"Alright then! We start today, so everyone will be broken up," said Angela. "Okay. Shiro, Yami, Akuma, and Francis, come with me."
"Blue*Star, Melody, and Demetri come with me," said Merlin as he beckoned them to follow him.
"We will be getting you guys Wednesday," said Diana before everyone broke off to their stations.
"Dear, seems they have been sealed in the Infinity Room," said Ai.
"Seems we have lost our advantage…we might as well spend the time wisely by increasing our power. We now exceed numbers that even Arachnophobia managed to accumulate, now we just have to make ourselves more powerful," said Amaterasu.
"As you wish, my love," said Ai before Amaterasu walked down the steps from the altar she was on. She walked up to Ai and stroked his face with her hand, gently.
"Soon it will be ours, love," said Amaterasu.
"Yes, soon it will all be ours…" said Ai, with a devilish smile before he and Amaterasu began to kiss passionately.
SOON IT WILL ALL BE OURS!
