"Whatever you do, don't talk to her, don't look at her, don't even think about her, got it?"

"Yes"

"Good, love you~"

Domanic was starting to believe that she might be bipolar, one second, she looked ready to hit him, the next, she was back to being flirtatious.

All he had to do was avoid her, that seemed easy enough.

He was very wrong.

[Domanic Blackstone, please report to the Student Council room immediately]

'Deus auxilium…'

XXSonaXX

Tsubaki was right, the boy looks like a scared puppy.

If it wasn't for the feeling of some sort of strange power coming from him, she would feel bad for him.

"Hello Domanic"

"H-hello"

"You seem scared"

The way he was throwing glances at the door, like he knew something bad was going to happen.

"I'm...just nervous, is all, heh heh…"

"Look, i'm going to get to the point, I know something about you is not normal, and I know you know we're not normal either"

"I...I don't know what you're talking about"

He was worse at lying than Saji, and that was really saying something.

"I don't appreciate being lied to"

"I-"

"He's not required to answer any questions from you"

'Damn it...she came to get him'

"In fact, neither of us are required to listen to you at all anymore"

She slapped some papers on her desk, it only took one look to know what those were.

This didnt go at all how she hoped.

"Come on Domanic, we're leaving, and not coming back anytime soon"

Normally, they wouldn't be getting away with this, but she went through the principal to get the unenrollment forms.

"*Sigh*"

"What are you going to do now?"

"I don't know, i'll have to think of something. There has to be a way"

XXDomanicXX

Taking a walk couldn't possibly go wrong, right?

Well, yes and no.

"Yaah!"

Domanic stopped short when he saw a girl trip and fall not far from him.

She was a young girl with blonde hair and some sort of green hooded dress, she was carrying a heavy suitcase.

"Are you ok?"

"Ah, Sì sto bene"

She's Italian?

"sei Italiano?"

"Sì! sono felice di incontrare qualcuno che lo parla anche io!" (Yes! i'm happy to meet someone who speaks it too!)

"Cosa stai facendo qui?" (what are you doing here?)

"Mi è stato detto di andare in chiesa qui, sono una suora" (I was told to go to the church here, i'm a nun)

"ti hanno mandato qui da solo?" (did they send you here by yourself?)

"Sì, sono Asia Argetnto, comunque" (Yes, i'm Asia Argetnto, by the way)

"Sono Domanic, posso-"

"Domanic, what are you doing?"

Sasheda found him, already.

"I was just helping this girl"

"chi è lei?" (who is she?)

"non preoccuparti, è un'amica" (don't worry, she is a friend)

"Who is she?"

"Her name is Asia, she was sent here from Italy apparently, she's here with no where to stay"

"*sigh* and you want to help her"
"Yes, you...you don't sound happy about that"

"No, its fine, tell her she can stay with us"

"puoi restare con noi finché non sappiamo dove stai andando"

"Oh! no, non potrei farlo …" (oh! No, I can't do that…)

"si puoi, mi sentirei orribile se ti lasciassimo qui fuori tutto solo" (yes you can, I would feel horrible if we left you out here all alone)

"sei sicuro?" (are you sure?)

"si, adesso vieni, sono sicuro che hai fame" (yes, now come along, i'm sure you're hungry)

XXSashedaXX

'Stupid Bucketheads and their being noble…'

She wasn't saying she didn't want to help the poor, lost girl.

But now her plans were ruined as long as she's here.

Sasheda turned, about to tell the girl where her room was, when she saw her hugging Domanic.

"grazie mille!" (Thank you so much!)

"non è un problema, dopotutto, è compito dei Cavalieri aiutare tutti coloro che ne hanno bisogno" (its not a problem, after all, its a Knight's job to help all who are in need)

She wished she knew what he was saying, he could be flirting with her for all she knows.

"sei un cavaliere?" (you are a Knight?)

"Sì, anche se la mia armatura è meno che splendente" (Yes, though my armor is less than shining)

She was looking at him like he was some sort of hero, what is he saying?

"Puoi mostrarmi?" (can you show me?)

"Posso, ma non ora, si sta facendo tardi" (yes, but not now, some time later)

XXDomanicXX

The girl suddenly stood up on her toes and kissed him on the cheek, he wasn't expecting it so it caught him completely off guard.

She went off into another room, Domanic was going to go to the kitchen.

Was.

He suddenly felt like his life was in mortal danger, he turned to see Sasheda glaring at him.

"W-what?"

"Baka!"

"What did I do now!?"

"Woah woah!"

Grimar came into the room, stepping between them.

"I don't know what's happening here, but I don't like it"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Quindi hai bisogno di incontrare una ragazza di nome Raynare?" (So you need to meet with a girl named Raynare?)

"Sì, è quello che mi hanno detto" (Yes, that's what they told me)

"Hey, boy. I'm going to have to ask you to hand over the girl"

A girl in very questionable clothing, if it can be called that, with wings landed close by.

'Another Demon? A different type?'

Domanic hid Asia behind him.

"I don't know who you are, but this girl is under my protection"

"Look, kid, I don't want to kill you if I don't have to, just hand her over"

"Ehi, Asia, ricordi quando ti ho detto che ti avrei mostrato la mia armatura?" (Hey, Asia, remember when I told you I would show you my armor?)

"Sì" (yes)

Domanic took a step forward, summoning all his gear.

"Come, Demon. Trial by combat, right now"

"You have a Sacred Gear!?"

"I don't know what that is, but that is not to be worried about now. Fight me if you dare, A Knight of the Blackstone Legion does not submit so easily"

A spear made of some form of magic was formed and thrown, it shattered on contact with his shield.

"Is that it?"

More spears were made, some of them floating.

He blocked all of them, then dashed forward and stabbed his sword forward.

The blade stabbed into her chest, she cried in pain.

Domanic decided to end the fight, he used his shield to force her to the ground.

She was trying to crawl away, he stepped over her, raising his sword.

"No! Non ucciderla!" (No! Don't kill her!)

"I demoni devono essere uccisi, potrebbe scappare e uccidere più persone innate se la lasciassi andare" (Demons must be slayed, she could run off and kill more innocent people if I let her go)

Domanic swung his sword down.

"Wait!"

*CLANG*

His blade was halted by another, it was being held by a boy with blonde hair.

The other demons were back, Domanic left the one on the ground and returned to stand in front of Asia.

"I suppose you are here to deal with her, we will be leaving"

"Not so fast"

The one with red hair spoke out.

"I have no business with you"

"I challenge you to a duel, you have to face a member of my peerage"

A challenge?

He would never turn down a challenge.

"You should know, I fight only to the death. Whoever you pin against me will die"

"Its not a fight to the death, more like a spar"

"Where I come from, when two people engage in a fight, only one walks away. That's how it works for me"

"possiamo andare a casa per favore?" (Can we please go home?)

"Sì"

His gear vanished, grabbing Asia's hand and beginning to leave.

"Hey! You cant just leave!"

"Quindi vuoi qualcosa da mangiare?" (So do want anything to eat?)

"ah! Ho sempre voluto provare cose nuove" (I've always wanted to try new things)

"Don't just ignore me!"

"So solo dove andare" (I know the perfect place to go)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

*SLAP*

"...ow?"

"Baka!"

"What did I do now?"

"You just took that girl on a date and left me here!?"

"A...date?"

"Do you even know what you did!?"
"I went for a walk with her through the park, encountered some demons, then we got something to eat…"

Her weapon formed in her hands again, Domanic began to run for his life.

"BAKAAA!"
