League of Legends: One-Shots

by xNekorux

A story filled with one-shots starring various pairings from the League. Some are Rated T, while some are Rated M. (Mostly Yuri, but not all.) Image used as doesn't belong to me, just found it in Google and edited it a bit.

68. Parallel (Semi-KDA)

Parallel (Original League x K/DA Crossover)

With the Institute of War mediating the affairs between nations when it came to territory disputes, war and bloodshed had significantly lessened. The mediation ushered in peace and a form of unity that kept people, fighters and civilians, well and alive.

When Kai'Sa's village was overtaken by the Void and the latter became her new home, she grew accustomed to dealing with the unnatural and unpredictable. Zz'Rot Portals would open up here and there, spawning Voidspawns that either ignored her or ended up being blasted in a splatter of purple if ever they dared attack her.

Recently, Kai'Sa had just returned from the Institute of War and was back at the Void after the High Council had announced a concern about some type of magic fluctuation during one of their testing trials in opening portals between nations. They had conducted such to provide League champions a much easier way to travel to and from the Institute instead of being summoned right off the bat or traveling for hours, sometimes days, just to participate in a sanctioned battle.

High Councilor Vessaria asked her personally to investigate in the Void to check if ever the location itself was affected with the shockwave the summoning had given off. Due to the symbiotic bond she had formed with the Void creature attached to her back and years of living in the Void itself, both aspects allowed her to walk through the perilous location without much worry for her safety.

So far, all she saw were the usual cracks in the dead soil, where purplish mists oozed out. For an hour or two, Kai'Sa did nothing but roam around and observe with a keen gaze, until her eyes eventually landed on something glowing ahead of her. Voidspawns scrambled away from the source, seemingly disturbed by whatever it was.

Eyebrows furrowing, Kai'Sa ran up to the origin of the glow to investigate. Much to her surprise though, the entire thing looked so alike with a normal Zz'Rot Portal, but instead of an ominous, dark purple tint, the orb-like center of the portal shifted between colors. The whole portal possessed a glowing white outline, while various colors swirled within and changed its tint consistently.

The more Kai'Sa approached it and scared off the smaller Void creatures that were brave enough to stay around, the more she took notice of what had already spewed out of the portal. She gave a brief scan of her surroundings, noting how there were many small and big trinkets and items scattered all around the portal.

It looks like it's been open for quite a while.

A soft crunch of a paper reached her ears when she took another step forward, prompting her to look down and pull her right foot back. Her face cover retracted and unveiled her entire head, allowing her a much a clearer view of what she had stepped on. Bending down and picking up what looked like a printed mini-poster, Kai'Sa easily dusted off the soil from the glossy paper.

"What the...?"

Eyes widening in shock, Kai'Sa found herself staring at a much human version of herself. Vibrant violet hair mostly styled into two buns and body posing along with three other females that wore the same flashy outfit this version of herself in the poster donned. She blinked at the image she had in hand, flipping it over to see if it had anything written behind it.

When she flipped it back and checked the front face again, her eyes trailed down to the signatures below each individual in the picture. Her gaze zeroed in on what seemed to be her signature underneath her lookalike. She brushed her thumb over the cursive letters, still unable to believe she might actually be seeing what she could have looked like if she hadn't fallen into the Void.

"By the Void, what is this...?"

Kai'Sa eventually got over her initial shock and continued observing the three other women in the group picture. The moment she spotted the blonde fox-like human, her eyes once again widened. There was no mistake that one right beside her look-alike was Ahri! The ears and the signature below was a dead giveaway already.

Although she had only met the gumiho and had battled alongside her in the Rift for a handful of times, Kai'Sa was absolutely certain she was looking at an image of Ahri. The only difference would probably just be the hair and eye color, but as for other physical features, they could be mistaken as twins or siblings.

"It can't be... Can it?" Kai'Sa shook her head as she spoke to no one, moving on to the next person in the picture.

The cap-wearing female leaning onto the woman at her right instantly caused Kai'Sa to think about every female champion she had met in the League. At first she compared the blue-eyed individual to every champion that possessed blue eyes, but Kai'Sa came up empty-handed. She then realized there was a signature there as well. The name matched with one of the Ionian champions she had encountered after one of her matches.

"Akali. That's her." Kai'Sa murmured to herself, nodding as she did.

The Ionian ninja had her mask off during their brief encounter, so Kai'Sa had the opportunity to at least see her face before it was eventually concealed. That memory was enough for her to confirm that the similarities between the ninja and this other female was enough to be considered uncanny. After confirming to herself that it was indeed Akali, she finally wandered her gaze to the fourth woman in the group.

Amaranth magenta hair, amber gold eyes and a gaze that shouted vixen, Kai'Sa immediately ran through all the possible matches the woman could share any similarities with. Since the first three seemed to be connected to her, Ahri and Akali, she figured that the fourth one was also a League champion.

It took her longer than the first three, but she eventually gave up and settled on believing the written signature. Kai'Sa pursed her lips for a moment, recalling the wicked tittering of the demon she had been teammates with literally for at least two times. She remembered the experience because the succubus, Evelynn, made sure to visit her lane rather often than others to kill their opponent, only to tease her before and after the whole fight.

It was honestly weird to see a more human version of the mischievous demon.

"Strange..." Kai'Sa whispered to none other than herself again, finding the whole poster more than unusual now.

The group itself was so random and she couldn't help but think of how odd of a combination they were. Shaking her head, she rolled up the poster and tucked it under her arm before she proceeded to look around.

Kai'Sa hadn't even taken more than two steps when she spotted something shining on the dirt. She bent down and retrieved it, finding herself holding a pair of gold-rimmed sunglasses. It took a second, but she suddenly recalled the image of the human Evelynn wearing the same accessory in the poster.

Choosing to hold onto the glasses to take back with her at the Institute, Kai'Sa continued inspecting the vicinity. Within a few minutes of her search, she found a dark reddish-purple fur accessory, a black face mask with a glowing vinyl-like design, a cap with a 'K/DA' logo and last was what seemed to be a neck accessory. All of these were in the poster she had seen, so she figured she could take these for now rather than the other strange-looking things around her.

Judging from how out of place the other things that decorated the surroundings of the weird portal, they looked like they originated from different universes. There was what's supposed to be a white metallic contraption that shared similarities of a bow, its blue light fluctuating when Kai'Sa saw it. Not only that, but she also found a surfboard with the a sun-theme design, a bluish-red dragon egg, a jade gauntlet, a soccer ball with a couple of signatures written all over it and many more.

For now though, Kai'Sa settled with what she had in hand and chose to return to the Institute to report the mystifying Zz'Rot Portal to the High Councilor.

Maybe she should've surrendered the items she had taken. Maybe what she did, which was keep the things she had taken for her own intentions, was better. No one would really know what's right and wrong in this situation, because this was highly likely the first time something like this had ever happened to a League champion.

Right now, Kai'Sa was walking through the Institute garden, hoping to seek for a secluded spot where she could closely inspect the things she had retrieved from the Void.

Initially, she thought of doing such at her champion quarters, but to get there, she would have to walk around with the items in hand. Knowing there would be a lot of curious eyes that would find them suspicious, she opted in hiding the items somewhere outside the walls of the Institute before she reported everything to the High Council.

Kai'Sa settled in a small space surrounded by tall plants and thick trees, placing the items around her as she did. She unrolled the poster and audited the image again, still in disbelief with the group and how more human she, Ahri and Evelynn looked in the print.

Reaching at her left where she had placed the neck accessory with her gaze still fixated on her alternate image, she felt her fingertips touch something soft and furry instead of the cool material of the choker. She moved her hand down a bit and ended up feeling what seemed to be a snout?

Turning around, Kai'Sa found herself staring at blue eyes that belonged to none other than a white fox, whose gaze was wide, curious and directly focused on her. The choker she was looking for was dangling over the creature's snout, which actually made the whole display absolutely adorable.

"Uhh, hi." Kai'Sa greeted with uncertainty, unsure where the fox came from.

"Yip!" The fox responded back, tails calmly swaying behind it.

"What're you doing here?" Kai'Sa patted her lap as a form of invitation, which the fox happily took. It hopped over to her, giving her chin a little nuzzle before she managed to take the accessory from its snout.

As expected though, she didn't receive any verbal response other than two yips. The fox turned to the other items the other had laid out, only for its eyes to widen upon the sight of the poster.

Kai'Sa immediately closed her eyes the second the fox jumped forward and caused its tails to harmlessly brush over her face. Not only did she think that this fox wasn't the cuddling type, but she also discovered the animal wasn't normal at all. After all, it apparently has nine tails. The fox approached the poster, standing across Kai'Sa before it started pawing at the image.

"Oh, you like that?" Kai'Sa queried, finding the sight cute.

The fox yipped and nodded eagerly before a rush of air blew once its tails moved forward, engulfing the creature until a white glow began emitting through the thin gaps. Kai'Sa closed her eyes again when the glow brightened even more, opening them only when she was sure the blinding brightness was gone.

Much to her surprise, she found herself staring at Ahri, who picked up the poster in her now human hands. Eyes wide with wonder, Ahri looked at the printed image with pure curiosity similar to a child's.

"Ahri?" Kai'Sa spoke up, not at all expecting the creature she was petting earlier was a fellow champion.

"Where did you get this?" Ahri asked, eyes still fixated on her lookalike.

Kai'Sa knew a gumiho like Ahri have their feral form, but she never did predict that she'd actually witness the transformation itself. Although she barely saw it with all the glowing it gave off.

"This is me." Ahri said, pointing at the blonde-haired version of herself. "Or at least it's supposed to be me. Who is she?"

"I, um, don't know."

"Who are they?" Ahri turned the image and showed it to Kai'Sa, now inquiring about the whole group instead of just her doppelganger.

"What're you two doing?"

Both women snapped their heads to the nearby tree, where they spotted one particular ninja that seemed to have been roused out of the slumber she was enjoying on the branch she was perched at. A part of her mask poked out of her pouch, which left her face unveiled and completely free for anyone to see.

With a swift turn, Akali left her perch and landed on the ground on her two feet. She dusted herself as she approached the duo seated on the ground. Softly grunting, Akali sat down on the grass with them. She didn't exactly have anything to do, so she might as well pass the time with whatever it was Ahri and Kai'Sa were doing. The two were already an odd pair to begin with.

"What's this?" Akali asked with half-interest, using one finger to raise the black face mask.

"A mask." Kai'Sa simply answered, not really knowing if she should ask the two Ionians to leave or just let them do whatever they're doing.

"Looks weird."

Kai'Sa was just about to comment about the accessory when she abruptly stopped herself when the cap was quietly pulled from its place and slowly floated up in the air, the latter being done by something thin and dark purple. She was the only one who took notice of everything, for Ahri was too focused on hanging the choker on her right ear, while Akali was closely inspecting the glow-in-the-dark mask.

"As if it's different from your own mask." Came a velvety voice from behind Akali.

While the ninja stilled, Ahri finally focused her attention on the demon materializing right behind her fellow Ionian. Although she herself was not a mere human, she still felt the need to keep her guard up once Evelynn fully became visible to their sights.

Her lasher practically slapped the hat onto Akali's head, the head accessory securely situated on top of her head. Behind her, Evelynn smiled in satisfaction, lowering the sunglasses she had stolen probably a moment ago. She smirked once she felt Akali tense, knowing the ninja knew who idled behind her.

Whoosh!

"Ooh, there she goes." Evelynn calmly commented when Akali abruptly threw herself forward and in between Kai'Sa and Ahri. She rolled on the dirt before turning to face Evelynn with now a fair distance away from her and a kunai drawn and ready to be used for either offense or defense. Surprisingly, the cap didn't fall from her head.

"What the hell are you doing here, demon?"

"I'm always around." Evelynn proudly replied, winking. "Did I startle you?"

"Tch! Don't flatter yourself." Akali retorted in a heartbeat, eyes filled with utter distrust and disgust.

"My, that gaze of yours." Evelynn's smirk threatened to widen, her hands adjusting the fur she had also taken from Kai'Sa's little collection and had wrapped around her shoulders. She tapped her lips as she eyed Akali with a mischievous look. "Tell me, love, would you like me to bite you now or later?"

Akali growled and was just about to say another threat, but she was cut off the second Kai'Sa stood up and took all of their attention with the entire motion. With three pairs of eyes fixated on her, Kai'Sa took the opportunity to address all of them.

"Can I please be left alone with my trinkets?" Her tone was polite, but it did hint a bit of annoyance, which was mainly caused by the sudden disturbance of the trio.

"But this is mine, isn't it?" Ahri asked, pointing at the choker hanging on one of her fox ears.

"And these," Evelynn started, glancing at the scarf-like fur and glasses for a brief moment. "are mine."

"You can keep the mask." Akali said, hiding her kunai back in her pouch before nodding her head at the mask she ended up leaving near Evelynn. "This hat, too."

Akali grabbed the rim of the cap and placed it near Kai'Sa's feet, standing up after and brushing off the dirt that stuck on her clothes and skin. She was quick to excuse herself, nodding to Ahri and Kai'Sa and shooting a glare at the smirking demon before finally taking her leave.

"She's feisty, isn't she?" Evelynn eventually broke the silence that had engulfed them, eyeing the ninja that was gradually disappearing from their line of vision. "Oh, I hope she likes the taste of her own blood."

"Doesn't the Institute have a rule against harming a champion outside the Rift?" Ahri reminded, warily observing for any possible violent reactions from the succubus.

Evelynn cooed and turned to face Ahri, a sly grin showing off her deadly canines. "And who said anything about hurting her? I just want to play."

"You play with your food."

A fiendish chuckle. "Precisely."

Kai'Sa coughed audibly, cutting off the pair's conversation. Once she recaptured their attention, she wore a brave face as she said, "Can you two leave as well? I would very much want to inspect these trinkets of mine by myself."

Despite the curiosity she could still feel swirling in her head, Ahri chose to respect Kai'Sa's request. She apologized for disturbing her and decided to push her findings at the back of her mind. Ahri transformed back to her feral form, yipping at Kai'Sa before she left her and the demon alone.

Now, she only needed to deal with Evelynn, who she then found standing and meeting her eye with her grin returning. She had the fur accessory dangling over right hand and the sunglasses was on top of it, both items being offered back to her. She was sure that the succubus wanted something in return though.

"I'm immensely curious in where you acquired these so called trinkets." Evelynn purred, placing the accessories on Kai'Sa's waiting hand. She then moved behind the latter, her claws harmlessly tracing over her shoulder. "Promise that you'll show me where they came from next time, alright? I'm just dying to know."

Kai'Sa parted her lips to utter a verbal response, but all she managed to do was nod wordlessly. Fortunately, it was enough for the siren, who smiled sweetly and leaned in to give her cheek a quick kiss.

"Good girl."

And with that, Evelynn shifted back to her Demon Shade and eventually disappeared from Kai'Sa's sights. The Daughter of the Void was only able to breathe normally and much easily when she finally felt like she was alone again.

Once again, she settled back on the grass, now taking her own turn in inspecting.

Five Days Later...

All of the champions and summoners present in the Institute were gathered at the main hall, where High Councilor Vessaria made an announcement regarding the magic fluctuation the High Summoners had caused a few days ago.

After reassuring everyone that everything was taken care of and under complete control, the High Councilor made it explicitly clear that champions and unauthorized summoners weren't allowed at one of the summoning chambers, which was apparently being used for 'Institute purposes'. Although it was unclear what it was exactly, it's still enough to pique the interest of the Agony's Embrace, especially when Vessaria said that whoever disobeys would be severely punished.

Ever since Evelynn had caught Kai'Sa fiddling with a bunch of random items that clearly came from a different world, she had been quite eager to speak with her fellow champion again. Mainly because she wanted to know if there's a way she could actually travel to the world where those trinkets came from. A world that would likely not have any people capable enough to limit her hunt and her hunger for the endless pain of her victims.

Using her invisibility, Evelynn snuck along one of the High Summoners the High Council had permitted entry to the summoning chamber that was mentioned earlier. Just like what she predicted, the one the people of the Institute was concealing from them was indeed the portal Kai'Sa had uncovered at the Void.

Regardless of the fact that Evelynn herself didn't see it with her own eyes initially, all she had to do was listen to the words that were exchanged between summoners and their reports to Vessaria Kolminye, who nodded in return as she intently listened to each and every word her people spoke to her.

Based from what the demon had learned from her eavesdropping, the portal seemed to have grown and was said to be in its full size. It was much bigger than the normally smaller Zz'Rot Portals scattered in and around the Void, but its color was what made it truly different.

Evelynn also learned that the portal also has a vast possibility in being controlled if studied well enough to learn how and once they can manage it, they mentioned that traveling to different universes would be an attainable feat as well.

Smiling to herself, Evelynn left the chamber undetected and utterly determined in testing and seeing if Kai'Sa can use her bond with the Void to manipulate this particular portal. If all goes well, then Evelynn won't have to stay in Runeterra.

Evening eventually came and while most champions and summoners were retreating in their assigned quarters, the Daughter of the Void can be found at the training hall. She was improving her accuracy and she usually took advantage of how empty the training area usually is at night hours. It made her less self-conscious.

But tonight would be the first time she would regret training during evenings.

"Hello, hello, Kai'Sa." Was the soft, honey-like greeting of the demon lounging on the bench behind her.

Jumping in surprise, Kai'Sa quickly spun around and nearly fired a barrage at Evelynn, who coolly relaxed on the bench as if it was the softest, most comfortable furniture in the Institute of War.

"Evelynn." She greeted back rather curtly, not exactly fond of associating herself with someone as dangerous as the siren before her.

"Remember what you promised me a few days ago?" Evelynn asked in a tone she attempted to pass off as innocent.

Kai'Sa suppressed a groan. That wasn't a voluntary promise. She felt like she was put on the spot that time and was left with no choice but to say yes. She couldn't exactly decline a demon, especially with its lashers ready to murder her if she were to displease her.

"The portal I found those items from," she started, knowing she couldn't make a break for it and hope Evelynn never finds her again. "it's not in the Void anymore. It disappeared. I cannot keep the promise I made."

"Oh, but you can." Evelynn insisted, smiling wickedly as she vacated the bench. "I found the portal. It's right here, in the Institute."

The surprise was evident in Kai'Sa's gaze, despite the fact that her facial expression remained neutral. "It is?"

"Mm-hm. It's in the summoning chamber the High Council had mentioned."

"If you already know where it is and where the trinkets came from, then why ask me still?"

"Because I need you." Evelynn bluntly replied. "Or more accurately speaking, your bond."

Kai'Sa's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "My bond? My bond with what?"

"With what else? The Void of course!" Evelynn answered back with a little laugh. "I want you to try and influence the portal. Set it to a universe that I would like to traverse in."

"Why?"

"Why not would be a much better question."

"You... You want to leave."

"Of course I do." Evelynn rolled her eyes at how Kai'Sa seemed to be so slow in catching up with her intention. "Why would I desire to stay here? This place is like a generous prison. I may still be allowed to hunt my prey, but there are limits. I despise limits."

Kai'Sa thought about declining, but with how Evelynn tapped her foot impatiently on the floor and how she was moving her nails along as a reminder of what she could do to her, it looks like the ability to make a choice with her not getting in a fight was stolen yet again by the demon before her.

"Fine," Kai'Sa conceded, maintaining a fearless gaze as she met the demon's own stare. "but I cannot guarantee that I can open a portal strong enough to allow you to travel to another universe."

"Are you saying the portal might close?"

"I'm saying that there's a possibility you could either be lost in between universes or just be stuck in a random dimension."

...

...

...

Evelynn shrugged.

She literally just shrugged, not even the least bit worry of the dire consequences if ever the whole portal thing failed. She turned away and ushered Kai'Sa to follow after her, saying, "Follow closely, then. I don't have all evening."

Kai'Sa blinked at Evelynn for a couple of times before she shook her head and trailed after her, thinking the siren was probably as crazy as she is deadly. The sooner they get this over with, the sooner she'll get the demon off her back.

Meanwhile, the Nine-Tailed Fox was walking through one of the hallways and intended to retire in her sleeping chambers when she spotted an extraordinary duo going down one of the halls ahead of her. It was Evelynn and Kai'Sa. While the former walked with a confident stride, the latter was more tense and rigid.

Seeing the two together prompted Ahri to remember everything she had seen from the weird poster. She had been trying to forget about it for the past couple of days, but she just couldn't. Against better judgment, Ahri chose to tail the pair and see what they were up to. Internally, she was hoping it was something that involved the items from before.

...

...

...

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The three Institute guards fell on the floor the second Evelynn choked the air out of them until they all lost consciousness. While the two suffered the much rougher grip of her lashers around their necks, one of them was personally handled by the demon's very own hands.

"They're not dead." Evelynn quickly reassured Kai'Sa, not wanting the latter to run away in terror or anything. "Merely unconscious, so need not fear for what I've done. Now, come."

The two entered the summoning chamber, the glow of the portal greeting them upon their arrival. It was still spewing random things apparently, since there were many otherworldly things scattered around it. Although this time, Kai'Sa spotted another jade gauntlet exactly similar to the first one she saw and right beside it was what looked like a gold rifle with the same design.

"Hurry up now."

Kai'Sa almost stumbled forward when one of Evelynn's lashers pushed her towards the portal, its owner growing more and more impatient by the second.

"I don't even know if I can actually influence it." Kai'Sa grumbled, cautiously approaching the portal.

"Go ahead and try, then."

Sighing and shortly scolding herself mentally for letting the demon control and order her around like this, Kai'Sa decided to raise her right and slowly reach out to the portal. She truly didn't know how she would be able to channel the portal's energy, so she thought of doing the first thought that came into mind. She'll think about the items she had taken and hopefully, the portal would shift to the same universe where it originated.

...

...

...

"What the...! What're you two doing!?"

Both of their gazes whipped towards the entrance, where they found Akali regarding them with a look of shock and disbelief. The Ionian hadn't even said or done anything after her abrupt question when Evelynn disappeared from her place, only to reappear behind her after a few seconds of her standing there in shock mainly caused by the portal's sight.

Akali spun around and tried kicking Evelynn, who dodged her leg and the kunai that followed up after. The demon grinned and hissed once she disarmed the ninja, sending the kunai skidding to the side before she gave the Ionian a backhand slap to distort her for a moment.

In a flash, Akali was completely bound and wrapped in her lashers. Evelynn hurriedly went back inside the chambers, hissing angrily at how Kai'Sa had halted her attempts of manipulating the portal.

"What're you waiting for?" Evelynn snarled before shoving a finger at the direction of the portal. "Hurry before my patience diminishes completely."

Seeing at how Akali uselessly struggled in the grasp of Evelynn's lashers, Kai'Sa spun back around and started inching towards the portal. She thought of the same idea she was thinking about before the interruption, cursing under her breath when she felt a surge of power come from the portal and course through her entire right arm.

Gasping, Kai'Sa pulled her hand back and refocused her gaze to the portal, which changed its color. Once assuming a color-changing hue, now it was dark purple with hints of blue and white wisps swirling inside.

"I... I think that's it."

"That's all?" Evelynn asked, now standing right beside her and looking absolutely unfazed with Akali's squirming behind her.

"I think so. I'm not sure." Kai'Sa glanced at Evelynn. "I told you, I don't...-"

Evelynn shushed her and raised a hand in addition before she herself gradually neared the portal. "I know, I know."

...

...

...

Slam!

For the second time, the two of them turned to the entrance again, while Akali halted her struggles and redirected her gaze to the same direction. There they found Ahri, who seemed to be responsible for suddenly shutting the doors of the summoning chamber behind her.

"Ahri?" The three chorused, Akali's version being more muffled and more like a call for help rather than like the other two's somewhat confused response.

"It's Kolminye." Ahri said, hurriedly approaching them. "She's here to check on the portal with the High Council."

"Well, we best take our leave." Evelynn was just about to touch the portal when Kai'Sa abruptly clasped a hand over her shoulder. "What?"

"What about us? Where will the three of us go? She'll catch us."

Evelynn shrugged. "I don't see how that's my problem."

"Mmm!" Akali tried speaking up, thrashing in Evelynn's lashers to remind her that she's still in her clutches.

"No time! They're here!" Ahri panicked and chose to push all of them towards the portal, which was somehow their only escape ticket.

Kai'Sa's protest and Akali's incomprehensible cuss was cut off the second the four of them fell forward, the portal engulfing them with a bright purplish-white light before it reverted back to its white-outlined, multicolored state.

By the time Vessaria pushed the doors open and caught sight of the portal, the four champions were gone.

In the K/DA Universe...

(Italicized names refer to the characters originally in the K/DA universe)

Head comfortably resting and hair sprawled all over a soft pillow and a phone clutched by her left hand, Evelynn spent her early morning quietly reading the latest news online. Her other hand was brushing through the brown tresses of the woman right beside her, the latter's head resting on her shoulder.

"Eve..."

"Shh..." Evelynn delicately hushed, smiling as she planted a kiss on her bed partner's forehead. "It's still early, darling. Go back to sleep."

The other, who was apparently Akali didn't need to be told twice. After snuggling closer than she already was and taking a moment to relish the skin contact between their naked bodies underneath the blanket, she eventually fell back in the hold of comfort and slumber.

Once Evelynn was sure her lover was asleep again, she returned her gaze to her phone and proceeded to read the article she had just tapped on. Apparently, there was some sort of break-in at the Valoran Museum. There were four unidentified suspects and many speculations had already begun due to the footage that was taken and was being broadcasted in the news.

What seemed to be gravely confusing the authorities were the things attached to the so called 'extreme vandals' of the museum. Two of them had two unidentified parts extending from the back of their bodies, while one of them were said to have nine 'contraptions' attached on the back as well. The reporters say that only one out of the four suspects looked normal. All of this was of course merely speculations.

Sighing, Evelynn placed her phone back on the bedside the before she shifted until she was embracing her girlfriend in her arms. Akali mumbled in her sleep, earning her a kiss on top of her head before the amber-eyed woman settled on getting some more sleep as well.

...

...

...

...

...

"Look at what you did!"

Clearly unafraid of the kunai pressed against her throat and the snarling ninja in front of her, Evelynn merely stared at Akali in amusement, further causing the Ionian's anger and frustration to significantly increase. Despite the loud echo of Akali's enraged words, the deserted parking lot the four took refuge in remained empty and void of any other people but themselves.

"If it weren't for your wicked meddling, we wouldn't be stuck in this twisted world!"

"I could hardly call this world twisted." Evelynn scoffed, still finding the time to chuckle at their predicament. "And excuse me, but I wasn't exactly the one that pushed us all into the portal."

"Why are you blaming me?" Ahri questioned, gesturing at herself. "I was only trying to save all of you from being punished."

"I'd honestly rather face the Institute's punishments than be sent to a different dimension." Kai'Sa murmured, looking around as if someone might jump out and launch an attack at them.

"Oh, so now that everything went wrong for the three of you, the blame suddenly falls on me." Evelynn scoffed again. "How more amusing can this get?"

Akali growled and slammed Evelynn against the surface of the concrete foundation she was pinned against. "You're an absolute lunatic!"

"I'm a demon, honey." Evelynn cooed back at her. "I'll never be the sane one in a group."

Snarling furiously, Akali pulled the kunai back and intended on running the blade over the demon's vulnerable neck, but Ahri reached forward and intercepted her wrist before she could swing the weapon back.

"Akali," Ahri spoke up, firmly clutching her wrist. "don't."

"Why shouldn't I? She's one less demon to deal with."

"Ooh, just try me, darling." Evelynn taunted, grinning and showing off her canines. "Give me a reason to sink my claws into that pretty skin of yours."

"Evelynn, stop it!" Ahri interrupted before further provoking could be done.

"Umm, not to cut off your little argument there," Kai'Sa glanced to her left, where people with hard hats and construction uniform can be found gradually entering their line of vision. "but we need to move if we want to avoid detection."

While Ahri nodded and led them to the other direction where she spied an exit for them to take, Evelynn didn't give Akali a chance to react. Her lashers quickly wrapped her up again, clasping over her mouth first before she could utter a profanity or a scream of rage. Once she was enveloped yet again, Evelynn gave Akali a teasing flying kiss before following after their two other companions.

Using both their ability of invisibility, Kai'Sa and Evelynn weaved through the people without taking any sort of attention. Although Evelynn purposely bumped her lashers around with as much obstacle as she can find. A muffled yelp even reached her ears when she heard Akali's head bump onto one of the street poles they passed, prompting her withhold a snicker.

From the sidelines and swiftly jumping from one cover to another was Ahri, who was in her feral form. She couldn't exactly run around in her human form or else her appearance and tails would serve as a huge beacon for attention.

Somewhat typically, the four of them ended up at the back of a tall skyscraper. There were closed dumpsters here, garbage bags there and a couple of other junk littered around the area. Regardless, there was no one there and the surveillance camera was only pointed at the direction of the back door. It's an area they stayed away from.

Evelynn purposely dumped Akali on top of the garbage bags, chuckling to herself as she did. Despite earning a look from Ahri and Kai'Sa, she merely smiled and shrugged her shoulders as she walked away from the ninja.

Akali scrambled off the trash, growling angrily and withdrawing another kunai from her pouch. She tried charging and swinging at Evelynn, but much to her surprise, it clashes with the same kunai she used earlier to threaten the demon.

"Aww, did you really expect I won't make use of this?" Evelynn asked teasingly, grinning at how vexed Akali looked once she realized her own weapon was being used against her. "You are truly amusing."

"Alright, that's enough!" Shockingly, it was Kai'Sa that intervened this time. She pushed the two apart, the Void parasite attached behind her glowing menacingly as she shot the bickering duo a glare each. "If you two keep going at each other's throats, we won't ever get back to our world!"

"But...-" Akali tried reasoning, only to be harshly shushed.

"But nothing! You two will now have a truce from this point onward, or Gods help me, I will not hesitate to pulverize you both from where you stand now."

...

...

...

Much more shockingly than Kai'Sa's abrupt snap, Evelynn was the first to back down and briefly raise her hands in forfeit, while Akali grumbled under her breath as she concealed her kunai again.

Silence fell upon the unusual bunch, only for such to be dispelled by the shouting and loud calling that came from the front of the building.

The four exchanged glances before they crept around the building, the three of them carefully peeking around the corner, while Evelynn just stood out in the open with her invisibility cloaking her from anyone's eyes.

People with cameras took pictures of what seemed to be a blonde-haired celebrity. The security of the building were pushing the photographers aside, which gave the four a clear view of who it was. As if her appearance wasn't enough of a confirmation, the fans and paparazzi surrounding her cried her name out for attention.

"Ahri! Ahri!"

"Ahri! Over here!"

"Ahri, can you answer a couple of questions?"

"Ahri!"

As expected, the first one to react to the sight was the gumiho among the group.

"That was me!" Ahri pointed out with wide eyes once they moved back to their previous location. "The one on the photograph you had of our alternate selves! They were even calling out my name!"

"That means you succeeded in manipulating the portal." Evelynn said, turning to look at Kai'Sa. "You managed to open the same universe where those items came from."

"I guess I did." Kai'Sa murmured. "But, that still doesn't tell us how we'll be able to get back."

"We came from a place called Valoran Museum, didn't we?" Akali reminded, recalling their first arrival in this alternate world. "If we ended up there after going through the portal from our world, then maybe we can go through the same one again."

"We can't exactly go back there now though." Ahri said with a frown. "The place was swarmed by people the second we left, so I highly doubt we'll be able to leave this world now."

"Then stay here and wait for your opportunity." Evelynn advised with a roll of her eyes.

Akali narrowed her eyes at the succubus. "And what about you? What're you going to do?"

"Me? Oh, I'll be starting my murder spree tonight. After all, that's why I came here in the first place. Now, if you'd excuse me."

Evelynn hadn't even fully turned around when Kai'Sa suddenly grasped her by the arm, preventing her from making her departure from the group. She eyed the hand of the other before she fixed her gaze on the markswoman, raising an eyebrow.

"You're not leaving us. Not until we get back home at least."

Evelynn scoffed. "And what makes you think you can make me stay and assist you?"

"You might be able to defeat Akali, but can you actually guarantee your victory if you're up against us three?" As Kai'Sa said this, Akali and Ahri stood alongside her, which emphasized the point she was making.

Both Ahri and Kai'Sa had no intention for an unnecessary fight against the demon, but if resorting to a certain amount of violence is the only way to return home, then they won't hesitate to do such. As for Akali, she was feeling a bit excited to finally be allowed in taking action against the siren.

The Agony's Embrace wanted to give another retort, but seeing that she was outnumbered, she could only sigh in exasperation. Crossing her arms, she said, "Fine. If you crave for my company so much, then I'll come along with you."

Akali took a turn in scoffing, rolling her eyes. "As if there's someone out there that actually wants you with them."

"Oh, you'd be surprised how much people beg for my attention. Perhaps you're interested in joining that category?"

Making a face of disgust, Akali returned her attention to their two other companions. "Alright, what do we do now?"

"It's still in the middle of the day and soon, we have to find a place we can take shelter in. A decent one, if possible." Kai'Sa began, glancing at the three for some possible suggestions.

"With our state of appearances though, roaming will be difficult. Between the four of us, only you and Evelynn have invisibility. Akali's outfit isn't exactly fitting for this world, and need I say more?" Ahri gestured behind her, where her tails were calmly swaying. "My tails aren't really discreet either."

"Where do we go, then?" Akali asked, looking in between the two.

"Oh, by the Gods, you three are a moronic bunch, aren't you?" Evelynn abruptly cut in, sounding immensely exasperated with their back and forth discussion. "We literally just saw this gumiho's counterpart in this universe. The location where we could seek haven in is right here."

Evelynn then gestured at the back door of the structure as if it wasn't seen by the other three. She turned around and approached it, her lasher making quick work of the camera. The piece of tech fell onto the floor the second one of her lashers cut it off from its place, the wires sparking for a few times upon its landing.

"Now, why don't we track down where the other Ahri lives before the sun goes down, hmm?" As Evelynn said this, her lasher broke the lock of the back door before yanking it open and ushering them to go in. "If any of you asks me, I prefer parting this group as soon as possible."

Knowing they had nowhere else they could go and that the only option they had was the one Evelynn was currently offering, the three were left with no choice but to enter the building. Evelynn smiled, quite pleased with herself as she trailed after them.

"What of the people we cross paths with?" Kai'Sa asked in a murmur as they ducked behind a generator when a small group of workers and security passed by, probably to check on what happened at the back of the building.

"Well, I can...-"

"You can't kill them." Akali bluntly denied her possible suggestion, earning her a sweet, sweet smile from the demon.

"My, my, you just know what to say to test my patience." Evelynn quietly replied with a sarcastic smile. "And just so you know, that wasn't my suggestion. What I was meaning to say before you so rudely interrupted me is that I can charm them long enough for us to pass by undetected."

"But they'll see you." Ahri pointed out.

"Yes, but they'll brush it off as a mere daydream of some sort." Evelynn answered with a dismissive wave. "Now, while I distract the people, try looking for any sort of information that may lead us to Ahri's counterpart."

"And where exactly do you expect us to look?" Akali questioned, her attitude prompting Evelynn to smile sardonically before she turned the ninja's head to the door with the label 'Main Lobby' stuck to it.

"Here I thought Ionians like you would have more observation skills than a rock."

"You little...-!"

"Shh!" Ahri shushed before the two could start bickering again. "Let's not waste any more time."

Evelynn and Kai'Sa activated their invisibility, Ahri turned back to her feral form and Akali stuck in the shadows as they moved closer to their goal. Hate it or not, they had to work with one another if they wanted to return to Runeterra. Unfortunately for Akali, she needed to cooperate with this smug vixen that she wanted nothing more from.

...

...

...

...

...

The sound of noodles being slurped up echoed in the dining area as Akali ate the brunch she was having, which was spicy ramyun. Keeping her company at the table were Evelynn and Kai'Sa, both eating what the latter had cooked for them.

"Darling, clean after yourself." Evelynn said, taking a piece of tissue from the box beside her plate and wiping Akali's chin.

"Gomen ne..." Akali apologized through a mouthful of food, flashing a sheepish smile before it was covered with the tissue being wiped over her lips. Once she swallowed and thanked Evelynn, she said, "Can't help it. This ramyun Bokkie made is delicious."

"Aww, thanks, Kali." Kai'Sa thanked with a smile, looking proud and flattered. "What about you, Eve? How's the salad?"

"Oh, it's tremendous, Bokkie darling." Evelynn genuinely complimented, taking nearly a forkful of the food after.

Slam!

"I'm home~" Came Ahri's sing-song voice. The FOXY model came in and settled on a vacant chair at the table, thanking Akali when the latter poured her some iced tea in a glass.

"How was your meeting with the manager?" Evelynn queried once she finished chewing her food.

"Fine, all is well." The blonde reassured, taking a sip from her drink before putting it down and sighing. "The paparazzi were downstairs. Again."

"What else is new?" The three chorused unintentionally, the dancer and the rapper giving each other a quick fist bump.

Click!

All four of them spun around and turned their heads to the direction where the front door can be found. The panel was widely open, looking as if someone had just barged in and left it like that. The three looked at Ahri, who raised her hands in front of her.

"Hey, I closed it."

"Did you lock it though?" Evelynn asked, pushing her chair back and standing up to check.

"Uh, no. No, I didn't."

Evelynn sighed and shook her head, heading to the open doorway. She peeked outside and found nobody, prompting her to close the door and officially lock it. There didn't seem to be anyone there that could've opened it in the first place, which left them to wonder what was responsible for the door opening initially.

The diva had literally just turned around to return to the table, when something dark suddenly materialized in thin air and rushed forward, wrapping around her neck and lifting her up and against the door.

"Evelynn!" Her band members cried out in horror, their eyes as wide as hers as a form slowly left its invisible state and unveiled itself to their very own eyes.

Evelynn gasped and clutched at whatever it was wound around her neck, her legs kicking in the air. No matter how strongly she tried, she wasn't able to peel the constriction around her throat.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Came a vixen-like purr, which shockingly came from the white-haired individual choking the oxygen out of her.

"Let her go!"

Crash!

Evelynn fell down the floor with an audible thud, gasping for the air she was almost completely deprived of a moment ago. A form rushed towards her and helped her up, an assistance she was vastly thankful for.

"Are you alright?" It seemed to be their beloved dancer's voice.

Evelynn coughed a couple of times and rubbed her neck, mostly leaning against Kai'Sa. "I'm fine, I'm fine..."

Raising her head, she was met with a brown-haired, purple-armored version of Kai'Sa. Eyes widening in shock, Evelynn jumped back and ended up pressing herself against the door, freaked out with what her friend suddenly looks like.

"W-What...!? What're you wearing!?" She questioned, eyes rapidly scanning Kai'Sa's appearance. "And what's that behind you!?"

"Okay, calm down." Kai'Sa tried soothing the ruffled diva, who was now hastily looking around. "I know this looks...-"

"Get away from her!" Akali suddenly pushed through, grabbing Evelynn and hurriedly dragging her back to the dining area, where they ended up watching everything unfold before them.

At the living room, where the succubus was tackled to by none other than the ninja of their group, Evelynn and Akali can be found tussling with one another. While Evelynn seemed to be laughing and looked like she was enjoying the combat, Akali looked furious and absolutely frustrated as she launched kunais at the grinning demon.

Much to K/DA's additional shock, a literal nine-tailed fox dashed out of their kitchen and went in between the two, blasting them both away with wisp-like beams. Evelynn recovered cleanly thanks to her lashers, but Akali gracelessly crashed onto the sofa, flipping the furniture over in the process.

"She attacked me first." Evelynn immediately yet coolly defended herself, raising her hands at Ahri, who approached her with her Orb threateningly floating in front of her face.

"That's because you...!" Akali started, grabbing the flipped sofa's edge and pulling herself up and back to her feet. She huffed and pushed off the soft blanket that belonged to none other than Kai'Sa, who was lounging at the living room before she started cooking for lunch. "You tried murdering that woman over there!"

"As much as I see Akali's intervention too violent, she has a point." Kai'Sa joined the conversation, stepping towards them as she gave Evelynn a look. "You said you'll charm them, that's it."

"I did say that, but I didn't promise I wouldn't kill now, did I?"

...

...

...

"Call the cops!"

The four League champions spun around and found Ahri pushing the three others up the staircase, handing her phone to Kai'Sa to do just what she said. All members of the pop group had horrified looks on their eyes, mainly caused by the whole chaotic scuffle the two were involved in.

"Cops?" Kai'Sa and Ahri asked in unison, both exchanging looks of confusion.

Evelynn rolled her eyes at the two. "It's a layman's term for authorities, dimwits."

Upon hearing such, Ahri immediately turned and ran towards the other group. She waved her hands in front of her, the orb she had in hand disappearing. "Wait, don't!"

"You can't stop us!" Akali said, tugging on Evelynn's arm and hoping to get them to one of their rooms, where they intend on hiding until the police arrives.

"Well?" Evelynn abruptly spoke up, capturing Kai'Sa and Akali's attention. She nodded towards the staircase and asked, "Are you two going to stay there and stare, or are you going to stop them from reporting us?"

Once they realized what was about to happen, Kai'Sa hastily ran towards the stairs, jumping onto the dining table and launching herself up in the air. She landed at the top of the stairway, blocking the four other women. Raising a hand to halt them, she said, "None of you will do such thing."

"Kai'Sa?" Ahri peeped out, shaking the dancer's arm.

"I'm trying...!" Kai'Sa said, the phone already against her ear.

Before the call could go through though, Akali suddenly swooped in and snatched the piece of technology from the choreographer's hands. Running over the railing of the stairs with perfect balance, Akali performed a flip and landed right beside Kai'Sa, smashing the phone onto the floor once her feet touched the ground.

"Hey!" Ahri reacted, unable to do anything but look at her now broken cellphone.

"Alright, everyone, calm down, okay?" Ahri started as she approached the bottom of the stairs. "We're not going to hurt you!"

Akali scoffed, pushing Evelynn behind her as she looked towards Ahri. "Oh yeah? What about your friend over there?"

"She's not our friend." Akali grumbled, feeling not an ounce of regret in denying any affiliation with their demonic companion.

"Friend or not, she tried choking the life out of my girlfriend!" Akali growled, shooting both hers and her lover's counterpart.

Apparently, the members of K/DA were still too spooked and skittish to be able to realize how the four weird-looking strangers shared so much physical similarities with them. The only one who'd probably find a hard time in comparing herself to her Runeterra lookalike was Evelynn, whose counterpart is clearly a demonic temptress.

That didn't mean the League champions were as confused and clueless as them though.

Kai'Sa turned to look at Akali, gauging her possible reaction towards the snarled words of the rapper. Rather comically, Akali's eyes were wide and all the color had drained from her face for a moment before it suddenly became extremely red.

"W-W-What!?" Akali sputtered out, anger, confusion and embarrassment all mixed into one tone. "What in Ionia's name did you just say!?"

Akali's eyebrows knitted together in befuddlement, not exactly sure why the ninja looked like her deepest and dirtiest secret was suddenly unveiled for all the world to see. She turned to Evelynn for some form of assistance, but the diva shrugged her shoulders, wordlessly telling her that she didn't know what the other meant.

"Did you just say," Akali decided to continue when she received no answer. She approached the staircase, prompting Akali to inch back a bit and press herself against Evelynn. "that this woman right here is your lover?"

"You..." Evelynn cautiously started, looking over their maknae's shoulder as she slightly narrowed her eyes at the ninja. "...seem to have a hard time in believing what she said."

"That's because...-"

"And you look awfully familiar." The diva interrupted without meaning to, amber eyes switching between the four of them for a few times before refocusing back to Akali. "Who are you people?"

"Finally!" Ahri suddenly spoke up. "A chance for introductions."

"Listen." Kai'Sa began, recapturing the pop group's attention. "Our entrance here wasn't as... harmless as we initially intended, but maybe we can backtrack and start over again."

Evelynn hummed, rejoining the conversation as she strutted towards where Ahri was. "Alright, my bad. My hunger just got the best of me, that's all."

"Your hunger's going to be the death of all of us." Akali sneered, glaring at the siren.

"Oh, I wouldn't exactly say all of you." Evelynn then grinned, her demonic set of teeth causing the four popstars to widen their eyes at the sight of it. "You're the only one I'm considering on eating here, love."

"Over my dead body."

"Delightfully, but where's the fun in killing you so fast? Why don't I make you scream for a long while first?"

"Uhh," Akali's cut in all of a sudden, pointing a finger at the two champions verbally clashing with one another. "are you two, like, a thing?"

"A thing?" The pair chorused in question.

"Are you two together?" Kai'Sa offered for clarification, gesturing between he ninja and the demon. "Romantically speaking."

Evelynn might look entirely amused by the concept, Akali turned into a sputtering Ionian that had nothing to say but insults aimed at the former. While the two had a one-sided bickering session yet again, one that's mainly filled with Akali cussing and degrading the smirking siren, Kai'Sa and Ahri took this as an opportunity to calm down their startled lookalikes.

"You promise you won't hurt us?" Ahri asked when the gumiho offered her a hand to help her back down the stairs. "Any of us?"

Ahri gave the most convincing smile she could present, keeping her hand still outstretched to be taken. "I promise."

"We promise." Kai'Sa added as an additional verbal form of reassurance.

A few minutes later, the living room was back to its previous state. Although there were two lamps that suffered the little fight earlier, so now Kai'Sa was sweeping up the mess, while the four Runeterra women were situated across the once-flipped sofa, where the three other members of K/DA were settled at.

Ahri, might have her full attention on the odd group before them and so did Kai'Sa after she finished cleaning, the same couldn't be said to the diva and the rapper of the group.

Akali was still fretting over Evelynn's state. She was holding an icepack behind her girlfriend's head, which had collided with the door when she was being choked. The latter smiled and tried reassuring the freestyler that she could take care of herself, caressing her cheek in the midst of it.

Across them, Akali looked on in horror and utter disbelief, while Evelynn hummed at such an innocent sight. Such love and innocence being displayed before her made her so hungry. Akali looked so vulnerable and ripe for the taking. Unfortunately for her, she still had to wait until the whole issue was resolved.

"Okay, I guess the four of you can start with proper introductions." Kai'Sa suggested as she settled beside Ahri. "And maybe tell us why the three of you look so much alike us?"

"Oh, don't forget about me, sweetie." Evelynn cooed, smirking. Beside her, Akali rolled her eyes for the umpteenth time.

"Who do you look like?" Ahri queried, unable to completely place the face the demon possessed.

"Who else?" Evelynn turned to Evelynn and grinned, winking.

Akali, seemingly taken aback by the revelation, looked in between the two, hastily attempting to find precise similarities. Evelynn though, she merely narrowed her eyes at the demon, her left arm silently wrapping around her girlfriend's waist. She did not trust this demonic beauty around her beloved darling.

"I'll start." Ahri volunteered, shifting on her seat and clearing her throat. "I'm Ahri, the Nine-Tailed Fox."

"We... can see that." Ahri commented as they eyed the white tails all fluffed up behind the whiskered-face champion. "You're an actual gumiho?"

Ahri nodded. "Indeed I am."

"What about you?" Kai'Sa piped in, turning the conversation's spotlight on her Runeterra counterpart.

"I am Kai'Sa. People call me the Daughter of the Void." Kai'Sa introduced, nodding her head at the others. "And please, don't be afraid of me or what's a part of me. I control them, therefore, they won't hurt you."

"They?" Kai'Sa blinked, eyes darting to the parasite attached behind the markswoman's back. "They're alive?"

"Why wouldn't they be?"

"Ah. Right." Kai'Sa laughed uneasily, not exactly knowing what to say in return.

"And you're me." Akali just spoke up, eyeing her ninja lookalike.

"Yes, I'm you." Akali responded back with a sigh. "I'm Akali, previously known as the Fist of Shadow, now Rogue Assassin."

"You're an assassin?" There was wonder and a pinch of awe in the rapper's tone, which mildly sparked a tiny ounce of amusement in the ninja.

"I am. And before you ask, no, I do not kill innocent people." Akali then gave her seatmate a look of detestation. "That's her forte."

"Is that the problem in your relationship?"

"Relationship!?" Akali practically screeched in reply. "We do not have anything between us!"

"Why not though? You two seem to have some chemistry."

"Darling, I don't think they're like us." Evelynn murmured, giving Akali's hip a firm squeeze.

"Well, while you dwell on your worthless thoughts, let me introduce myself." Evelynn began, smiling teasingly when the triggered ninja tried elbowing her, only for her lasher to intercept the strike. "I'm Evelynn. They call me many things. One of them being Widowmaker, but I prefer Agony's Embrace."

"I already have an idea in what you do, and I haven't even asked you anything yet." Evelynn murmured, suspiciously eyeing her counterpart, who smirked back at her.

"Of course you'd know. After all, I'm you."

"Where did you four come from?" Ahri finally asked the question she and her bandmates have been wondering about ever since the conversation started.

"A world called Runeterra." Kai'Sa answered, meeting the gaze of the blonde. "We are champions and considered participants in the League of Legends."

"League of Legends?" The group of K/DA asked in response.

"It's something the Institute of War created to rid our world of bloodshed." Ahri explained. "Affairs and nation disputes are settled through sanctioned battles that always result in no such absolute death outside the Rift."

"I have a feeling we're going to spend the rest of the day asking you questions about your world." Kai'Sa brought up with a little sheepish smile. "I mean, you can't expect us to just understand everything that you're saying."

"We don't even know what we've gotten ourselves into." Ahri also mentioned, mostly vocalizing the thoughts. "It's actually hard to believe that we're even keeping ourselves calm right now. Is this a dream?"

"As much as I want this to be a dream," Akali muttered, avoiding the sight of Evelynn's irritating smirk. "it's not. Right now, we're hoping that with you four knowing that we're you in a different universe, you won't turn us away now."

"Turn you away?" Evelynn asked in mild confusion.

Akali nodded. "We don't exactly have a place to seek shelter in. Not in this world, at least."

Kai'Sa also nodded in agreement. "If it's not much of a bother, we wish to stay here in your abode until we find a way to return to our world."

"We give you our word that we will not bring you any sort of harm." Ahri added, hoping their reassurances would be enough to convince the other group.

"I suppose it's not you three we're mainly worried about." Evelynn stated, her gaze trailing towards the demonic siren. "It's her."

Almost immediately, Ahri, Kai'Sa and Akali's heads snapped towards Evelynn, all three of them giving her different looks. They all meant one thing though. They wanted her to behave, or else she'll suffer consequences they themselves will bring upon her.

Outnumbered yet again.

Evelynn gave a dramatic sigh. "Clearly, I have no choice in this predicament."

"No, you most definitely don't." Akali decided to emphasize, smiling sarcastically at the sardonic curve that Evelynn allowed to shape her lips.

"Once again, the majority wins." Evelynn leaned back and crossed her arms and legs, rolling her eyes at how she was backing down from the threat of the trio. "Much to my displeasure, I will not be hurting any of you."

"Promise?" Ahri and Kai'Sa prompted together.

Again, Evelynn sighed. "Yes, yes, I promise. But, I cannot guarantee the same when it comes to this little nuisance right here."

Little nuisance, also known as Akali, glared daggers at the succubus. "Just try me, demon. I'll cut you into pieces if you do."

"Oh, you will?" Evelynn leaned close to Akali, grinning excitedly. "I'd like to see you try, honey."

"Don't tempt me."

"Temptation would probably be my middle name if I ever had one."

Across them, Akali and Evelynn watched them as they murmured among themselves. With the display the ninja and demon was presenting, both of their counterparts seemed to share the same thought.

"I guess they do have a form of chemistry between them." Evelynn murmured lowly, causing Akali to nod.

"See? Told you."

Few Days Later...

The K/DA household was surprisingly quieter than the pop group expected. It's been three days ever since they agreed letting their Runeterra lookalikes temporarily reside in their penthouse. They thought about refusing their request, but there were two reasons why they didn't.

One, they're them from an alternate universe. How could they bring themselves to turn away, well, themselves?

Two, one of them is a dangerous demon, one was an experienced assassin, one had a parasite attached to herself and can probably pulverize them if she wanted to and lastly, one was a real-life gumiho.

Need they say more?

While Kai'Sa and Ahri shared the blonde's bedroom for safety purposes, Akali and Evelynn slept together in the diva's quarters. The latter had become immensely protective over her friends and most certainly with her darling ever since the other group's arrival.

Although Evelynn hadn't made a single attempt in hurting them, Evelynn was still more guarded than others. She always made sure Akali was safe before she went anywhere in the penthouse.

There were always exceptions that prompted her to leave her girlfriend all by herself. Like right now, she had just draped her black robe over her the lingerie set she was wearing before she left her bedroom and made her way downstairs to get a glass of water.

What she didn't expect was to hear a thud, a hiss of pain and a mischievous titter from the dimly-lit lower floor of their penthouse. Evelynn carefully stepped down the staircase, spotting Akali near the entrance of the kitchen. She seemed to be picking up shards of glass from the floor, tossing them in the nearby trash bin while she cussed at the demon in the household.

"You did this on purpose!" Akali snarled angrily, glancing around in the shadows.

"Guilty~" Came the siren's sing-song reply, chuckling huskily before Evelynn felt a whoosh of air past her.

Once she spied the demon materialize right by one of the windows, slit-like eyes now focused on the breathtaking view of the city their home offered, the diva proceeded towards the kitchen.

Akali had moved inside and was now settled on one of the stools at the kitchen island, her right hand mildly bleeding on the counter as she removed the embedded shards of glass one by one.

Without much thought, Evelynn opened one of the cabinets and withdrew the first-aid kit they kept there in the kitchen. Akali had stopped her movements, brown eyes watching the magenta-haired woman, who approached her and occupied the stool right beside her.

Taking out some tweezers, Evelynn held Akali by her forehand and started delicately removing the shards. The Ionian ninja eyed the vocalist with a combined look of confusion and curiosity, but she didn't reject the unexpected assistance. That doesn't mean she won't question it though.

"What're you doing?" Akali asked, tone as guarded as she is whenever it came to the demon responsible for her hand injury.

"Helping you." Evelynn simply replied, glancing up at her before returning her gaze to her palm.

"Why?"

"Why wouldn't I?"

"I'm not the Akali you know." The Ionian pointed out, confused with the sincere care the siren's counterpart was showing.

"I know," Evelynn coolly replied, continuing her task of first-aid. "but that doesn't mean I don't see my Akali in you."

Akali's eyebrows furrowed, but she kept quiet. She didn't know what to say in reply to that, so she was left to just quietly observe the gentle treatment she was receiving.

"She's fond of getting into fights." Evelynn started all of a sudden. "Rogue sometimes come home with a cut lip, a sprained wrist or a black eye. It's never a pleasing sight."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because right now, when I saw you with this bleeding hand of yours, I instantly remembered the times I had to do this to her." Evelynn smiled, looking fond of the memories she was recalling. "That's how she and I grew close."

"What do you mean?" Akali might not admit it outloud, but ever since they learned that Akali and Evelynn are a couple in this universe, she's been plagued with so many questions why her counterpart fell in love with the demon's own.

"When Akali joined the group, she initially thought I was selfish and, well, a diva. Truthfully speaking, I was a diva." Evelynn chuckled, lightly shaking her head. "Still am, but not entirely. I grew comfortable with all of them. We spent a lot of time together, and it made me realize one thing."

"And what's that?"

Evelynn raised her head as she finished removing the final glass shard stabbed into Akali's skin. "That I'm always the one taking care of Akali."

"Can't my counterpart take care of herself here?"

"Of course she can, but she has her moments."

"Moments?"

"Like what I told you."

"The fights?"

"Mm-hm." Evelynn hummed, nodding. "Maintaining her public image, making sure she doesn't get hurt during concerts, eats enough food when we're out on tour...-"

"Why did you even take care of her in the first place?" Akali couldn't help but ask, looking straight into those amber hues that were admittedly incredible.

Evelynn chuckled, shrugging as she said, "I honestly don't know."

"You don't know?"

"No, I truly don't." The woman shook her head, smiling to herself as she proceeded to disinfect Akali's little wounds. "But I am fairly certain about one thing."

"And what's that?"

"I'm glad I took care of her," Evelynn lifted her gaze again and offered a delicate smile. "because it's how we fell in love with one another."

Akali's face became ten red shades darker upon hearing such an outright confession. It was so hard to imagine that this caring and loving woman is the counterpart of the sadistic and death-bringing demon that's been vexing her for the past few days.

Indeed there's a reason why she's called Evelynn's alternate version.

Couple of minutes later, Evelynn finally finished and had cleanly wrapped Akali's hand with bandages. Her wounds were cleaned and neatly taken care of by none other than the amber-eyed artist before her.

"Uhh, thanks."

"You're welcome."

Akali was unable to react, verbally and physically, with what came next. Evelynn stood up, clasped a hand at the back of her head and brought her close, only to plant a kiss on her forehead. The ninja remained frozen on her stool even when the the diva turned away and took the glass of water she initially intended on getting for herself.

"Good night, darling." Evelynn bid with that charming smile of hers, giving Akali a brief yet tender caress on the cheek before leaving her in the kitchen.

Seconds ticked pass...

Face completely red and heart thundering in her chest, Akali slapped her uninjured hand over her face over and over again as she shook her head and tried ridding herself with the butterflies in her stomach.

No wonder her counterpart fell in love.

...

...

...

During the short time Evelynn was gone from the bedroom, the demonic version of herself snuck upstairs, too quiet to awaken Kai'Sa and Ahri sleeping at the living room. She made sure to confirm that her diva counterpart was busy tending to Akali before she made her way to the woman's quarters.

With perfect stealth, Evelynn slipped into the room and approached the bed where the freestyler of K/DA can be found slumbering peacefully. She tilted her head as she observed the serene face before her, her claws grazing over the blanket as she carefully reeled it down.

"Eve...?" Slightly roused out of her sleep, Akali lifted her head and tried looking through half-lidded eyes. In the dark room illuminated only by the city lights outside, she found herself staring at a mildly blurry image of the demon, who morphed into the same physical form of the diva.

"Hello, love." Evelynn murmured back, smiling sweetly as Akali reached forward and lazily caressed her cheek. She turned her head, taking hold of Akali's hand and placing a kiss on her wrist. Her lips landing right on top of the rapper's pulse, her tongue licking at her lips afterwards.

Such trust and vulnerability, oh, this was what Evelynn craved from her victims.

"Come back to bed." Akali murmured, hand interlocking with the demon's, while she closed her eyes again. "I wanna snuggle."

"I can think of something else to do that's more worthwhile, honey." Evelynn grinned as she licked at Akali's wrist, nipping at her pulse with her lips. "Perhaps you're interested?"

Akali reopened her eyes, still half-lidded as she stared back at the woman for a moment of confusion. When she spied through the shadows the two lashers floating behind the siren though, her eyes widened and she immediately yanked her wrist away from the loose hold. She scooted back, prompting Evelynn in leaving her perch on the side of bed and decide on standing back up again.

"You're not Evelynn." Akali said, keeping the wrist that had been licked against her chest. "You're... You're the demon."

"Yet I'm still Evelynn." The sly enchantress replied with a little titter, reverting her hands back to its demonic state. She still kept most of herself in her human disguise, merely showing off her claws to rattle the rapper more.

"You're not supposed to be here." Akali said, glancing at the ajar door and hoping someone else would come in. Hopefully, that someone's a part of K/DA and not their group of guests.

"Do I look like I'm the type to obey the rules?" Evelynn asked with a smirk. "I break rules, sweetie. I break them like how I break my victims."

Akali couldn't help but gulp at that. "Is that why you're here?"

"Hmm?"

"Is that why you're here?" She repeated, shifting on the bed. "You're here to kill me?"

Evelynn stared at Akali, contemplating as she audited the latter's tense form. She can sense the fear dwelling within the rapper, despite the fact that Akali was doing an impressive job in keeping her brave façade up.

"...No, of course not." Evelynn answered after a moment of silence between them. Her smirk returned to her lips, not at all parting with her usual attitude. "You pique my interest."

"You're interested in me?"

"In a sense."

"Why?"

Evelynn laid back, her lashers forming a makeshift chair for her to settle on. She crossed her legs, gesturing with her right hand as she said, "It's quite hard to believe that my counterpart is as soft and delicate as she seems to be."

"What's so bad about it? She's much better than she ever was."

"Aha, exactly." Evelynn said, finger punctuating the air for emphasis. "She wasn't like this before. Now, tell me, what changed her?"

"What?"

"What prompted her to change?" Evelynn asked, having to stop herself from rolling her eyes towards Akali's questions.

Akali wanted to pretend to be entirely clueless, but she knew this demon's patience was far different from Evelynn. Or maybe it wasn't? She didn't really want to take a risk on this one.

"She... used to act selfish."

"Ah, yes, that's a favorite trait of mine."

"But it was, well, just an act."

"Just an act?" Evelynn quirked an eyebrow, head tilting to the side.

"At least in my eyes." Akali muttered, holding her girlfriend's pillow against her chest. "She wasn't as social as she is now before. She kept to herself. Did things for no one but herself."

"And what changed?"

"She... started taking care of me." When she dared to look directly at the succubus, what she merely saw was a perfect eyebrow being raised at her. She found it awfully weird that the siren was imitating her lover's physical appearance. Minus the purple-skinned forearms and claws of course.

"Care to elaborate?"

"I don't really know how to explain it."

"What?" There was irritation behind the single-word question, which caused the rapper to think up an immediate response.

"All I know is that I thought Evelynn only looked out for herself and didn't care about anyone." Akali averted her gaze, cheeks slightly reddening as she murmured. "At least until I came home late at night with a bleeding lip and a sprained wrist."

When she returned her gaze back to the demon to survey her reaction, all she saw was an intense stare fixated on no one but her. Evelynn seemed to be mulling over her words.

"Then you were weak and vulnerable at the time." Evelynn simply concluded.

"Hey, I'm not weak."

"Weak and vulnerable," Evelynn continued, clearly disregarding the contradiction. " yet she chose to provide care?"

"What about it?"

Evelynn scoffed and shook her head, looking disappointed with her counterpart. "I suppose it makes sense. After all, she has a heart."

"And you don't?" Akali asked back, body tensing completely yet again when Evelynn smirked back in return.

"I don't." Was her whisper-like reply. "If I were in her position in that moment, I probably would have brought you down to your knees. Make you scream and beg for mercy as I slowly, oh so slowly, devour you."

...

...

...

"...Okay, that can be completely taken out of context." Akali answered back, not certain if she was going to laugh or be afraid that she might've irked the succubus with her response.

Evelynn's smirk turned into an eager grin, leaning forward as she asked, "Is that lust I smell?"

"Wait, what? I didn't mean...-"

"Even if it is, it's not exactly your business." Came the voice of the diva now standing at the doorway, amber eyes glaring at the demonic creature. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, nothing really." Evelynn nonchalantly replied, standing back up and strutting towards her lookalike. She placed a hand over the other's shoulder, her smirk returning when she felt the woman tense under her touch. "I was merely having a little talk with your charming, little lover."

Evelynn wanted so badly to grab the siren by the neck as a warning, but with those lashers hovering behind her, ready to strike, she knew she had no chances in winning an actual battle. But, she did settle on maintaining her glare and fearless face, which clearly excited the demon.

"If you ever dare hurt her...-"

"You'll what, hmm?" Evelynn leaned in and whispered in the diva's ear. "It's not nice having a weakness, isn't it? You became weak the moment you decided to embrace that heart of yours."

Evelynn narrowed her eyes, looking at the other practically pressed against her side through the corner of her eyes. "It's much better to have a heart."

"Oh? Please," Evelynn raised her claws in front of her, making sure her counterpart got a good look at how sharp they are. "do enlighten me. What can a heart give you that lust can't?"

"Warmth." Was Evelynn's firm response, certainty in her amber gaze. "Something I'm sure you're a stranger to."

Although they both maintained unnerved stares, the succubus was the first to retreat. She scoffed to herself as she turned away, her form gradually reverting back to her true satanic appearance. She flicked a few strands of white away from her face as she exited the bedroom, murmuring under her breath.

"Mortals and their worthless hunger for love."

Evelynn watched the demon make her exit, only closing the door once the latter was out of sight. She locked the room once the knob clicked close, making her way to the bed after to check on her significant other.

"Darling, are you alright?" She asked as she slipped under the blanket and rejoined her in bed, tone sounding deeply concerned. "Did she do anything to you? Did she hurt you?"

"Eve, I'm fine, don't worry." Akali reassured, smiling at the vocalist. She scooted close and gave the woman a quick kiss on the lips. "She didn't do anything to me."

"Are you sure?"

"Other than disturb my sleep, yeah, I'm totally fine."

Evelynn sighed, thankful her lover was unharmed from the demon's unexpected visit. She glanced at the locked door before shaking her head, ushering Akali to return to her dreams.

"Go back to sleep, darling." She said as they both laid back down, her arms enveloping the freestyler and giving precisely what the rapper wanted from the very beginning.

"Make sure to get some sleep, too." Akali said before snuggling close to her lover. "I'm sure she's not coming back."

"Only if she knows what's good for her."

When the following day came, Kai'Sa was faced with a huge problem. With their Runeterra lookalikes currently staying with them, all of them had an unspoken agreement that no one outside the household could know about the group's existence. Much to her misfortune, she had completely forgotten to cancel her girlfriend's plans in visiting her today.

Sivir had just returned from her week-long vacation with her father, Azir, and was quite eager to drop by at the penthouse to see the dancer. Kai'Sa wasn't sure how she'd intercept Sivir. She couldn't leave the penthouse since Ahri assigned her to be their guests' watch for this morning. She tried calling, but it looks like the pizza delivery girl's phone was turned off.

So now, Kai'Sa can be found idling at the dining area with a cup of hot coffee as her morning drink. She was watching hers and Ahri's counterparts, both seemingly fascinated with the flat-screen TV. It was probably because of the show being presented onscreen. It was a replay of one of the episodes of 'Legends of the Lunar Dynasty', and both of them was so engrossed with how General Gareth and Viridian led their Emperor's army through one of the greatest battles in TV history.

While Evelynn was occupied with the tablet she had in hand, which she used to surf through the internet after being taught by the dancer herself, Akali can be seen still slumbering one of the couches and underneath a warm blanket. The Ionian had stayed up all night, not at all trusting that the demon had no ill intentions towards her during the evening.

'Okay, so far, so good.' Kai'Sa thought, feeling slightly less nervous as she watched the four champions keep to themselves peacefully.

"Hey, Bokkie, where'd you keep the ramyuns?" Came Akali's voice in the kitchen.

Kai'Sa sighed and replied back with, "I hid it!"

"What? Why?"

"Ahri said you're eating too much instant noodles."

"But, Bokkie!"

The choreographer thought about explaining further reasons why the rapper's precious ramyuns were missing, but she figured getting it all over with will keep her friend off her back for today. She sighed again and got up, climbing up the stairs as she called back out to her bandmate.

"I'll go get you once, but don't tell Ahri I gave it to you!"

"I'll boil the water!" Akali replied in return, sounding quite happy and a tad bit eager.

Hastily, Kai'Sa went to their leader's bedroom to steal one of the packs of ramyun in her closet, confident that she won't get caught since Ahri and Evelynn were at their exercise room doing their morning workout.

While K/DA's lead dancer was upstairs though, three consecutive knocks came from the front door, indicating that they had a new visitor. From the kitchen, Akali heard the knocking and called out to no one in particular, not exactly expecting that Kai'Sa had gone upstairs and that the only people outside the kitchen were their lookalikes.

"Can somebody get the door?" Akali requested, busy taking out their electric kettle from the cabinet. "There's someone knocking!"

Evelynn's lasher nudged Kai'Sa on the shoulder and when the latter turned around and wordlessly queried what was it the former needed, the demon merely nodded her head to the direction of the door, eyes still focused on the screen of the gadget she had in hand.

"What?" Kai'Sa asked, too distracted by the show to catch the sound of knocking.

"Either you answer the door or I do." Evelynn said, focus mostly still on the tablet. "And we all know I'm craving for someone to feed on."

Kai'Sa sighed quietly to herself, pushing herself off the carpet and crossing the room to see who it was that's requesting entry. The lock clicked audibly as she twisted it, turning the knob and opening the door after.

The first thing that greeted her was brown hair tied up in a ponytail, fairly tanned skin, a wide smile and a pair of striking blue eyes filled with excitement. Her own amethyst eyes literally glowed as she took in the sight of their unexpected visitor, gaze scanning the woman before her.

Sivir, who was the one that was standing right in front of the Daughter of the Void, looked on in absolute surprise, her smile fading and her eagerness replaced with utter shock. She nearly dropped the duffel bag she was holding, especially when she saw not only Kai'Sa's eyes glow, but also the lines around her lower torso.

"...K-Kai'Sa?" She asked with obvious uncertainty, unable to find the words to describe the champion in front of her.

"How do you know my name?" Kai'Sa questioned in a firm tone, the parasite attached to her back reacting and glowing with Void energy.

Sivir took half a step back as a precaution, raising a hand in front of her. "What... What're you wearing? What happened to your hair? And why are your eyes glowing? Why are you glowing?"

Instead of answering any of the questions that were spoken, Kai'Sa came to a realization. One that involved the initial reason why Sivir knew her name and why she was there in the first place.

"My apologies." She abruptly apologized, her tone not exactly sounding apologetic. "You must be looking for the Kai'Sa of this world."

"The Kai'Sa of what world?" Sivir asked back, only able to blink at her in return.

"This world. Your world." Kai'Sa stepped aside and gestured for her to come in. "The Kai'Sa you are seeking for is upstairs. I'm quite sure she'll return shortly."

"Uhhh, okay...?"

Dismissing the thought of danger, Sivir decided to enter the penthouse. She smiled uneasily at the neutral-faced lookalike of her girlfriend, not knowing if she was back in the airplane dreaming or not.

Once Kai'Sa closed the door, she intended on returning to her place at the living room to continue entertaining herself with the heated battle currently being shown through the television. Instead of doing such though, she stopped and turned back to face Sivir, who became as still as a statue the second she redirected her focus back to her.

"You."

"Me?"

"I can't help but find your face familiar." Kai'Sa spoke her thoughts out loud, her eyes glowing briefly again as she inspected the other female once again. "You resemble one of the champions I've fought."

"Oh, uh, I'm sure I wouldn't even be caught fighting someone like you."

"Are you implying that I am much beneath you to be considered a worthy opponent?"

"What!? No, no! Not at all!" Sivir immediately clarified, shaking her head. "I'm just saying that I wouldn't even dare fight you. Not with those... things on your back."

"Do you have something to say against it?"

"No, no, I...-"

The delivery girl didn't get to finish. Kai'Sa took a step towards her, causing her to become tense again and freeze on the spot. She can hear heart thudding in her chest as the Void woman stood directly in front of her, eyes narrowing as she scrutinized her.

"What is your relationship with Kai'Sa?"

Sivir blinked. "What's my relationship with... you?"

"No, not me." Kai'Sa said with a single shake of her head. "The Kai'Sa of this world. What are your relations with her?"

"Oh, uh, she's, well..." Sivir cleared her throat and tried standing as straight as she could to not appear too cowardly. "She's my girlfriend."

In an instant, confusion invaded those glowing violet orbs. "Girlfriend? Do you mean lover?"

"Yeah, that's technically the same, but uh, yeah, yeah, she's my lover."

"You two are together?"

"I... guess you can say that."

For what felt like the umpteenth time, Kai'Sa scrutinized the pizza girl with her piercing gaze. "Do you two... embrace one another? Like how lovers do?"

"Well, uh, yeah."

"What about kiss?"

"We do that, too."

"I see." Kai'Sa contemplated for a moment before asking with an entirely straight face, "Do you two engage in any acts of fornication?"

Sivir's face went from tense to flustered in a single moment. Her cheeks reddened massively and her words refused to leave her, mind conjuring not a single reasonable response to the blatant query.

"Sivir!" Kai'Sa abruptly called out, eyes wide when she saw her Runeterra self conversing with her girlfriend. She rushed towards them, pulling the woman away from her counterpart, who merely looked on with mild curiosity.

"Habibti!" Sivir managed to successfully react, immensely relieved that a much familiar face has come to her rescue.

"Did she hurt you?" Kai'Sa immediately asked, hastily giving the brown-haired female a scan with her eyes.

"No, she didn't. She didn't."

"Are you sure, liefie?"

Sivir offered a small but reassuring smile and a nod. "She didn't do anything, habibti. Don't worry."

Convinced that nothing drastically wrong had happened, Kai'Sa nodded before turning to look back at her lookalike, who was still patiently waiting for her question to be answered. She gestured at the direction of the living room before she dismissed her.

"Why don't you go back there and let me handle my girlfriend?" She kept her tone as light as possible, not wanting to be rude or to offend her counterpart.

Thankfully, Kai'Sa nodded and excused herself by turning around and taking her leave. She went back to the living area, settling back on the carpet and right beside Ahri before letting herself be engrossed in the TV series.

"Habibti," Sivir began, glancing every now and then at the direction of the living room as Kai'Sa led her towards the dining table. "who is she? Who are they? And why is there exactly one of each of you?"

Kai'Sa gave a stressed sigh as they both sat at the table, keeping one hand holding Sivir's. "It's a really long and crazy story. I don't even know if you're going to believe me if I tell you."

"Honestly? Right now, I'll take any story you tell me, cuz I literally just saw some sort of evil twin of yours that looked more like she came from one of those fantasy, monster movies you see on TV."

"I didn't want you to find out about this, liefie." Kai'Sa said, not knowing how she could make the story as sensible and believable as she could. "It's really complicated."

"It's more than complicated from the looks of it."

"Exactly!"

"Then tell me everything." Sivir said, giving her hand a squeeze. "I'm all ears right now."

Seeing that she was left with no choice but to tell her girlfriend everything that had happened for the past couple of days, Kai'Sa shifted on her seat and said, "Alright, but you have to promise to keep this a secret. We don't really want anyone to spread this whole ordeal and bring the national government to our doorstep."

Sivir nodded. "I promise."

Later that night...

Kai'Sa and Ahri were already cleaning up at the living room, trying to make the area as pristine as they could before they take their leave. At one side of the room, Evelynn be seen settled on her lashers once again, yawning as she boredly waited for the two to finish.

They thought about informing K/DA about their departure, but they figured they could just peacefully make their way out and officially relieve the pop group of their presence. Their act of cleaning was their own way of repaying their alternates for the hospitality they showed them.

Akali had volunteered to bring the unused nightwears their counterparts lent them for the evening. After she dropped it off in one of the empty bedrooms, which was actually Kai'Sa's, she was supposed to go straight back downstairs to lend some assistance in cleaning.

Instead of doing the initial, the Ionian ninja decided to stand directly in front of the door of the diva's bedroom. She tried twisting the knob to take a peek inside, but she was met with resistance.

It looks like the door was locked.

Her form slackened, a wave of disappointment washing over her as she slowly released the door handle. She sighed as she brought her bandaged hand up, brown eyes staring absently as she recalled the memory she made with Evelynn before the woman had retreated in her quarters with the rapper for the night.

The diva made sure to check on her hand and change her bandages, even though she gave out protests. Evelynn was quite persuasive and determined in treating her herself. It was... an admittedly nice experience.

Now, she was standing outside the vocalist's room, looking like a complete idiot. Despite only interacting with the Agony's Embrace only a handful of times, she became used to the fact that the demon was cruel, selfish and was death disguised as a bewitching demon.

There was this strong urge within her, telling her that she would regret it if she didn't get to say goodbye to Evelynn. Or at least see her one last time before they go back to Valoran Museum and, if their theory proves to be correct, leave this universe for good. Who knew remaining rooted to where she stood for a few seconds would pay off though?

Click!

Akali became entirely still when the door swung open, revealing Evelynn, who was merely clad in a rather provocative dark magenta nightgown that barely passed her thighs. The neckline was quite low, too, which provided the Ionian a generous eyeful. Face massively reddening, Akali hastily turned her head away in hopes of hiding her bright red cheeks from the surprised woman before her.

"You're still awake?"

"We're leaving."

Eyebrows raising, Evelynn asked, "Now? In such a late hour?"

"That's all." Akali dismissively said, turning and intending on marching off. She was being a coward and she couldn't pinpoint the exact reason why. It's as if there was this huge pressure behind this conversation she got herself into.

Before she could leave though, a hand grabbed her elbow, prompting her to turn back and face Evelynn again, who eyed her curiously. When her gaze drifted low and wandered to the revealing evening attire, Akali snapped her eyes away, head jerking to the side.

"What were you doing out here?"

"It's nothing. I merely wanted to check if any of you are awake and...-"

"Did you want to speak with me?" Evelynn leaned on the doorway, hand gently pulling the ninja back until the latter was standing directly in front of her again. "Your expression says it all."

"My expression?"

"Mm-hm. You clearly have something in mind."

Akali sighed and decided to fully face Evelynn, their gazes meeting. "I wanted to say thanks, alright?"

"For what?"

"For everything." She returned without missing a beat. "For letting us stay here. For taking care of me...-us! For taking care of us."

Evelynn smiled, hand releasing Akali's arm. She reached for one of the Ionian's hands, specifically her bandaged one, and brought it up to her lips, giving it a light squeeze after planting a kiss on her knuckles. "You're very welcome, darling."

"...Remember when I couldn't accept the fact that my alternate self is in love with you?"

Evelynn nodded, releasing her hand as she leaned on the doorway.

"I... think I've come to terms with it."

"Oh?"

"I can see why she loves you." Akali shifted awkwardly from her place, hands rubbing over her own hips as she tried finding something to occupy them with. "You're... nice. And, well, good. To her, I mean."

"It's a wonder how my counterpart has yet to fall for you." Was Evelynn's abrupt statement. One that caused Akali to widen her eyes, looking absolutely taken aback.

"As if I want her to in the first place!"

"Then what do you want?" Evelynn queried, eyes narrowing with lighthearted suspicion as she spoke with a smile. "Or maybe the more accurate question is who do you want?"

"What?" Akali stared back at Evelynn, now seemingly in shock with the implication towards her.

"I'm sorry, rogue, but I'm spoken for." Evelynn responded in a teasing tone, tittering softly.

"What? That's not what I..." Akali growled at herself, annoyed at how she was becoming a complete mess to the jesting beauty. Sighing and shaking her head, she muttered, "It was probably a mistake that I even came up here."

Evelynn chuckled, taking Akali by surprise yet again when she leaned forward and placed a kiss on the ninja's cheek. The act of affection rendered the latter entirely frozen, clearly shocked to the very core.

"Take care of yourself, Akali."

Last thing the Ionian felt was a soft pair of lips on her cheek and the last thing she saw was a fond smile and a wink before Evelynn stepped back and closed the door, wordlessly ending their conversation.

It wasn't surprising that Kai'Sa had to come upstairs and retrieve Akali, only leaving the penthouse when all four of them were finally downstairs. The second the front door clicked close behind them and its automatic lock eventually activated itself, the four League champions had officially left the lives of K/DA.

...

...

...

Evelynn leaned on her bedroom door, smiling at the rapper that had awakened from her sleep and was now staring across the room and at her with a suspicious look of her own. With her ponytail missing and her hair sticking all over the place, Akali was nothing but an adorable sight for Evelynn to adore and admire.

"Were you flirting with the ninja version of myself?" Akali questioned, suppressing the yawn that nearly overtook her.

Smiling, Evelynn said, "She's quite a charmer."

"Oh yeah? Why don't you come over here and let me show you how a real charmer acts like, huh?"

"Are you seriously jealous of yourself?" Evelynn asked in amusement, approaching the bed and rejoining her girlfriend under the sheets again. She was just about to initiate a kiss when Akali took hold of her cheeks and asked one particular question.

"How would you feel if I flirted with your demon lookalike?"

"...Touché."

"Heh, thought so."

xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx

The security personnel in the museum, mainly the ones the champions had crossed paths with on their way inside, ended up suffering the same fate as the guards at the Institute when Kai'Sa and Evelynn had snuck in the prohibited summoning chamber.

Behind the police line surrounding one of the exhibits in the currently closed Valoran Museum, one of the so called ancient displays on a stage-like pedestal began to house an orb-shaped center before such expanded until it was big enough for an actual person to come through.

Kai'Sa pulled her hand back, satisfied with the current swirl of colors the portal presented. She turned around to check on her companions, finding Evelynn and Ahri half-curiously inspecting the exhibit displays around them, while Akali seemed to be deep in thought.

"Are you done?" Evelynn, who was the first notice Kai'Sa's gaze, asked, now looking more eager than ever. "Can I finally take my leave now without worrying over you pulverizing me?"

"You're not going anywhere." Akali abruptly said, turning to Evelynn with a resolute look. "You're coming back with us."

Evelynn now looked offended. "And why should I?"

"Because you don't belong here in this dimension!" Akali snarled, stepping towards Evelynn and going toe-to-toe with the demon yet again. "And I won't give you the chance to ruin innocent lives and what the people have here."

"Oh, you mean the relationship our counterparts have with one another?" Evelynn laughed mockingly. "That's just pathetic."

"Pathetic? What's so pathetic about it?"

"Love." Was the distasteful answer of the Agony's Embrace. "It's worthless and foolish. It's nothing but a weakness."

"Keep telling yourself that." Akali muttered, nodding to the now opened portal. "You can either go through voluntarily, or l force you in."

Evelynn smirked. "You know I like it rough."

No more words left the rogue. Drawing her weapons out in a heartbeat, she gave a growl-like shout before she started attacking the succubus, who jumped back and smoothly weaved around the Ionian as if they were merely playing a harmless game.

All of the assassin's movements may seem clumsy, but each and every swing was intentional. It was a detail the siren seemed to have missed as she continued dodging and deflecting the raven-haired champion's attacks with her lashers.

Ahri and Kai'Sa caught wind of what Akali was trying to do, so after the two exchanged looks and came to an unspoken agreement, they both decided to not intervene this time. Once the Daughter of the Void slipped into the portal, the gumiho trailed closely behind her, which left Akali to finally take the final step of her plan.

The moment Evelynn landed right in front of the portal, Akali immediately dashed forward. Instead of stabbing the demon though, she managed to succeed with her tackle, the force of her movement throwing them both into the opening. The horrified scream of Evelynn upon realization of her amateur mistake echoed in the museum before the portal fully closed with a flash of white.

...

...

...

...

...

The Detention Center of the Institute of War was no joke, for it was the location where they placed the champions that disobey the rules, especially if they committed a punishable act within the Institute grounds.

While Kai'Sa and Ahri merely suffered a significant warning from the High Council, which resulted in the both of them being banned from participating in any League matches for a week, Akali was fortunate enough to just get the former. She was still eligible in fighting in the Fields of Justice, so she was quite relieved.

None of those could be said for Evelynn. The succubus was currently in one of the 'detention rooms'. The walls were embedded with a special element that absorbed the magic of whatever or whoever it was inside, but only enough to deplete an individual's fill of mana.

The Agony's Embrace initially clawed at the walls like how a demon like herself would do out of unfiltered lividity, but her tantrum only resulted in her being an exhausted bundle of anger.

Although she was still able to shift her physical appearance and morph it into a state that suited her taste, such was the only ability she was capable of performing within the mana-draining room. The inhuman strength she possessed was also useless since the window-like part of the room was stronger than it looked. She scratched the clear surface, but that's it.

Evelynn stilled, sensing a presence nearby. At one side of the room, there was this room where any possible visitors can stay at if ever they wished to speak with anyone unfortunate enough to be punished.

In the mentioned guest area, Evelynn found the Rogue Assassin standing there, most of her face concealed by the green mask she always wore around the Rift. Walking towards the glass part of the wall, she stopped and looked directly into the brown-hued gaze of the Ionian.

"Of all people to possibly come," Evelynn started in a murmur. "it's you who I find visiting me."

"Don't be too flattered. I came here to see you for my own reasons." Akali replied, their voices surprisingly reaching each other's ears. The room was constructed with magic, so both parties weren't surprised.

"Oh? And what might they be?"

Instead of answering, Akali just stared, looking like she was trying to will for something to happen. Now, Evelynn might not be the most genius individual in Runeterra, but she was able to come up with a theory that's quite spot-on with Akali's current thoughts.

Her dark greyish-purple skin slowly turned light and delicate-looking, her hair going from wild white to vibrant magenta tresses, her lips coloring from dark purple to light pink and lastly, her eyes turned fron slits to human-like. The amber color was clear and free for the naked eye to see how it glimmered underneath the light.

"She's beautiful, I admit." Evelynn said as she ran a normal-looking hand through her hair. With the way she imitated her human counterpart, it was shocking for Akali to see that the demon also copied the same provocative attire the diva was wearing during their last conversation. "And clearly, she doesn't need to be a genuine temptress to charm you."

"Revert back. Now."

"No." She answered defiantly, hand tracing over her arm as she slowly approached the glass. "I saw how you were with her before we left. You seemed to have become quite smitten."

Akali snarled. "Not to you. Never to you."

A nonchalant shrug. "Never say never."

"If you think copying her image would change my opinions of you...-" Akali was cut short when Evelynn placed a hand over the glass and started scratching her claws over ever so slowly.

"I don't care about your opinion," Evelynn stated with a dark look, wearing a hungry grin. "but I do care about your pain and how I'd like to hear you scream in my mercy."

A long moment of silence...

The rage in Akali's eyes faded, the angry emotion being replaced by a look of distaste as she mulled over what Evelynn had just said. It was a threat, yes, but she couldn't help but think of an alternative meaning.

"You should be careful with your words."

Evelynn raised an eyebrow, momentarily confused.

"They could be taken completely out of context."

The siren stared, disbelief bubbling within her as she regarded the Ionian with a blank look. She might not have said anything, but it was enough for Akali to huff and turn her head away.

"Perhaps both of you are not so different with one another..." Evelynn murmured lowly, tapping her chin in contemplation as she turned around and walked towards the armchair across the room.

"What did you say?" Akali asked, uncertain if what she heard was correct.

"Darling, if it's her you want," She turned and plopped down onto the armchair, crossing her legs and smirking at the champion that stared at her. "I'm afraid you'll find yourself rather disappointed with me. Unless, it is to sate your lust, then maybe I myself won't be so disappointed."

Akali twitched at the last statement, her cheeks coloring under her mask. Cussing in a grunt-like whisper, the rogue spun around and left the detention chamber without uttering a proper farewell to the sly succubus.

"Such sweet, sweet prey..." Evelynn grinned to herself as she continued staring at the spot where Akali was standing on a moment ago. "I hope she likes it hard and rough."

Meanwhile, with the Daughter of the Void, the latter was walking around the Institute with her recent experiences still fleeting across her mind. Although she wasn't traumatized by what had happened, she was curious though.

Judging from their alternate selves, it would seem that despite being in a different dimension, the champions of the League were still somewhat connected with one another. It's the reason why she was now roaming around the Institute with an eye out for a certain woman that might match the physical features of her counterparts lover. Head tilting a tad bit, Kai'Sa surveyed the most probable place she might find the one she was looking for.

The Mess Hall.

Despite the count of individuals currently present in the location at hand, Kai'Sa's gaze swiftly swept through them and was shockingly able to find a match of who she's looking for.

Sivir, the Battle Mistress, sat there, occupying one of the tables by herself, peacefully enjoying the meal she was having. Kai'Sa approached the champion without even a second's worth of hesitance, each step she took filled with determination she herself was unsure where it originated from.

Only when she was standing right in front of Sivir did she realize that the matter was now staring right at her with a raised eyebrow and a somewhat suspicious glint in her eyes.

"Can I help you, Voidling?" Sivir queried after a moment of nothing but the two of them staring at one another.

Kai'Sa snapped out of her mute daze upon hearing the little nickname she was given. Her eyebrows furrowed in distaste as she said, "I'm not a Voidling."

"Could've fooled me." Sivir said with a scoff-like laugh. "What do you want?"

"...You wouldn't understand."

"I'll take any story, honestly." Sivir said, leaning forward with interest. "So cough it up."

Kai'Sa blinked, recalling the conversation between hers and the other's counterpart. She had overheard them and so made sure to pay attention with whatever it was they were discussing. She couldn't help but feel a bit unusual with how this Sivir also had similarities with the alternate's verbal patterns.

Unable to think of how she'll broach the topic she had in mind, Kai'Sa decided to just be blatant. With her living in the Void for years, she didn't exactly know how to properly converse with people, so being straightforward wasn't new to her.

"Can I sit with you?"

Sivir lifted an eyebrow at her, but nonetheless gestured at the space on the other side of the table. With a nod as thanks, Kai'Sa slipped onto the seat, placing and clasping both of her hands together before she continued their talk.

Across her, Sivir eyed her with a mildly scrutinizing gaze, finding her unexpected approach somewhat unusual. She never really saw Kai'Sa casually interact with anyone in the League. The markswoman was one of the lone wolves in the Institute.

"Do you see yourself being involved with someone?" Kai'Sa abruptly queried, taking Sivir by surprise.

"Involved with someone? In what way?"

Kai'Sa glanced down to Sivir's plate, briefly distracted with the motions of the other's hands, which were busy cutting one of the five peaches with a knife. "Romantically."

Once again, Sivir quirked an eyebrow. "It's not my priority. Why do you ask?"

"Yet do you see yourself being in a loving relationship with someone? Specifically with a woman?"

"And maybe half-Voidling?" Sivir offered with a knowing look, stabbing a slice of peach and sticking the knife forward to offer the piece. "Is this your way of asking me if I'm interested in you?"

The alternate Kai'Sa probably would have been sputtering now with how straightforward the Blade Mistress was being, but the real Kai'Sa wasn't exactly the easiest person to fluster in Runeterra.

"I... didn't think of that notion." Kai'Sa said upon realizing that she didn't think that she'd get this far. She accepted the peach slice, nibbling on it like how a child would.

Sivir eyed her with amusement gleaming in her eyes. "You didn't think of that? If not, then what're all these questions?"

"Curiosity." Kai'Sa replied, savouring the peach slice. When Sivir took notice though, she stabbed another slice and offered it. Seeing that there was another piece being given, Kai'Sa immediately tossed the one she was holding in her mouth, chewing thoughtfully as she accepted the second offering. Again, she nodded her head in thanks.

"Curiosity? Really?" Sivir lightly scoffed, continuing on making more peach slices. "You expect me to believe that?"

"I expect you to answer truthfully," Kai'Sa returned, nibbling on the new slice and making an innocent yet amusing sight of herself. "which brings me to another question."

"And that question is...?"

"Do you see yourself being in a relationship with a much... human version of myself?"

For what felt like the umpteenth time, Sivir raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you're just not interested in me?"

"Are you going to answer or not?"

"Alright, fine." Sivir easily conceded, curious to see where this was leading. "Sure, why not? You seem to be decent enough."

"I see. Do you see yourself embracing that particular version of me?"

"I don't know. I'm not one for physical affection."

As they both continued with their conversation, Sivir continued slicing the peaches on her plate, eventually pushing it forward for the two of them to share. It became rather obvious that the Void champion was fond of peaches.

"Would you make an exception though?"

"An exception? For you?"

Kai'Sa nodded.

Blue eyes slowly yet carefully audited her, taking in the face markings and the violet light armor the Void parasite had given to her. Without the unorthodox details she had received from the Void, Kai'Sa had looks that can certainly match a true beauty. Even now though, Sivir could still see the appeal she gave off, especially now that she had given more than moment to consider it all.

"Maybe." Sivir finally replied, slipping a slice of peach between her lips.

"What about a kiss? Would...-"

"I kiss you?" Sivir continued for Kai'Sa, placing an elbow on the table as she leaned forward and murmured, "Let's say I would, where's this whole talk of ours going to lead to anyway?"

"I told you, didn't I? This is all mere curiosity."

"You're not telling me something." Sivir said, narrowing her eyes. "Why don't you just tell me the real reason why you're asking me all these questions?"

Instead of becoming tense when she was called out, Kai'Sa remained calm and replied with, "You wouldn't believe me."

"Like I said, I'll take any story." Sivir said, repeating what she had told her earlier. "You're talking to the best mercenary in Shurima. I've heard tales more bizarre than what you're probably hiding right now."

"I may not be familiar with any of the stories you've heard, but I'm certain that mine will be the most peculiar."

"Try me."

"...Fine." Kai'Sa forfeited with a small huff. "The reason why I'm asking all these questions is because I want to know if you share common traits with the version of yourself in a different universe."

Sivir blinked, momentarily speechless. Was Kai'Sa serious? As in, actually serious?

"...What?"

"Due to inexplicable circumstances, I, along with the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Agony's Embrace and the Rogue Assassin, had traversed in an alternate world, where we crossed paths with our counterparts."

"Even if I believe what you're saying, how am I suddenly involved in this little story of yours?"

"It's not just a story. It's an experience." Kai'Sa corrected in a firm tone. "And to answer that question of yours, you became involved because I later discovered in that world that my counterpart is in a romantic relationship with yours."

...

...

...

...

...

There were two things Sivir had in mind at that moment.

One, was she really going to believe such an outlandish story?

Two, if so called experience was legit, then what was she supposed to feel with this revelation?

When Kai'Sa continued staring at her for what felt like the longest while, Sivir released a breath and shook her head. She couldn't believe this 'Voidling' could still sit there and calmly eat her peach slices while she herself was as baffled as was when Azir had risen and claimed that she was part of his bloodline.

"What do you want me to say?" Sivir asked after a long moment of silence between them. "I came here to eat a couple of peaches in peace. I never expected a Voidling like you would just come up to me, ask me ridiculous questions and tell me a far-fetched story about you and I being in a relationship in a different world. Again, what do you want me to say?"

Kai'Sa merely stared back at her, face unreadable and giving nothing away. It made Sivir shift on her seat, feeling a bit uncomfortable with how intense it seemed to be getting.

Surprisingly, Kai'Sa bowed her head for a second and said, "I apologize for the disturbance."

"Now wait a second," Sivir said, grabbing Kai'Sa's wrist before the latter could leave her seat completely. "where are...-"

"I should have predicted that you'd be different." Kai'Sa said, tone neutral and ironically void of emotion. "In that world, you are tender-hearted and was immensely understanding. Here, you are inconsiderate, sarcastic and absolutely insensitive."

"Wait, you...-"

"Now, if you'd excuse me." Kai'Sa yanked her wrist away, stepping away from the table. She gave a curt thanks for the peaches Sivir had cut up and shared with her before she spun around and walked away without saying another word.

Sivir could only stare at her retreating back, now looking more befuddled than she was. She scratched the back of her head, feeling bothered with how the conversation ended.

"What the hell did she even want me to say?"

xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx

Author's Note: Welp, the whole thing started with Kai'Sa, so it ends with her as well! Sorry if the story's too confusing or what because of the double characters xD

This was an out of the blue idea I thought of and ended up typing thanks to the artwork of sharp_armpits from Twitter! Go check their art out! ^^

I don't know if I'll write a continuation of this or what, but meh, never say never, right? ;)

Anyway, till the next story~
