Project 63

Chapter 11 : You are unique

Part 1

(Internal point of view: Elena)

I lie in my bed, I have no desire to get up, especially since today there will be a new requisition of our property, more reason not to get up. Suddenly I hear my phone vibrate, I emit a long sigh and then look at my message: "Hello my beautiful Elena. Do not forget that today is requisition! I hope you have prepared good surprises for the antique store, I know your talent and I'm sure you did wonders, do not forget also to send me news of ... you know what ! See you later darling! It was a message from Jiro, I gasp before getting up from my bed to get ready.

To start, I take off my pajamas and choose my underwear and the outfit I'm going to wear, then rummaging in my wardrobe I catch a white dress decorated with gold, every time I see it, nostalgia invades me yet I have a big desire to wear it so I make the effort to remove the hanger and then head to my bathroom to wear it. All of a sudden, seeing her beautify my body, a memory comes back to me ...

I am alone in the immense desert, I am very small and in a state of immense fatigue, I feel that I am hungry and thirsty and I am alone. I was trying to call someone without getting answers

- Are you lost little girl? A voice told me and when I looked up, I saw a young boy with black hair and black eyes smiling at me as he held out his hand. I have a blurry view and yet I take his hand, a smile appears on his mouth as he starts to carry me in his arms. An immense power emanates from his body, yet he seems so young ... Already a young boy he possessed a spectacular power.

I was scared …

I rub my eyes to find my spirits, I start to style my hair and tie them to me when I feel that one knocks at my door

- Come in ! Did I say of my bathroom by starting to make up, I see Lady Andrea return to my room accompanied by Pandore who has found the smile

- Hello Elena. Excuse us to disturb you so good morning but I would like to ask you a little favor! She said to me, I turn to her asking her what is his favor, I see her put her hand on the shoulder of Pandore and then she tells me

- You know that today is the requisition and ... I would like Pandore to be safe from the organization for a little while, do you think you can keep it with you for the day? And at the same time it will give you the opportunity to get to know you a little better!

I think for a moment

- Yes why not ? By cons, Jiro may come to see me so ... I doubt he will not try to touch Pandore, and worse ... If it's Damian who comes to my room Pandore would be lost! But if I manage to hide it in my room I think we will not have too much trouble! Alright then ! I said, Lady Andrea is delighted then pushes Pandore slightly towards me then returns to his office. Pandore and I exchange a look, she seems a little embarrassed.

- Do not be shy staying in front of me so! Visit a bit, of course, paying attention to my things! I told him while I'm still getting ready.

She shrugs and begins to explore my room without much touch to my business and when I finish my hair, I get up to go find it with a purple crystal ball with a heart of gold inside

- What is this object? She asks me curious and with her big eyes all bright, I come to take it back to hold her against me

- This is something very precious to me, please do not touch it okay ? I said resting my crystal ball in her place, she nods and now that I'm ready, we go to the restaurant so that we can prepare for the requisition today.

I can see that Pandore is angry with the requisition. She is unique

(Internal point of view: Kirsten)

In my dungeon, I fight hard against my little apprentice, in addition Ginrei and also came to train with me, it is fire-breathing to the amusement park we opened it a few times now, as we Let's train for a Japanese festival that Lady Andrea decided to create to bring a little more money to our house and to allow us to have fun. It is true that each time we have fun together and we hear the applause of the crowd when we do our show. Me, my show represents the samurai fight that has always been a model for me. There I see my apprentices run towards me to attack me, I put myself in a strong position and then reversed with several karate catch.

All are sounded and embarrassed by their defeats, I emit a sigh by standing up before them

- Come on do not do this head, you're doing a lot better than before and I'm proud of you, you see that by working hard you get there! You will be perfect for the show, I'm sure! There, I see them take again the smile and the motivation, it is so nice for me to be able to give as many motivations to young idiots who want to know how to fight. It gives me the feeling of being useful, but in addition today ... The Organization 63 will come to take the precious imperial Japanese weapons which I have taken so long to manufacture.

While I would prefer to sell them by myself!

That's when I see Elena enter my dungeon with Pandore impress with my swords

- Oh, hello, Elena! Are you coming to check? My poor, it always falls on you, I wonder how you do to support this kind of chore every time. I say to Elena, this one smiles to me with a little sneer

- Of course it's not really a pleasure, but someone has to do it! And then we must say that it is only once a month, it's like receiving his salary after a month of work. That's what Lady Andrea would have said ... What weapons do you have to offer to the market?

I go to the big cupboard in my dojo and open it, inside all my swords and spears I made for sale

- Today I intend to sell three swords and only an imperial spear! But I'm afraid that Organization 63 is not interested in my most precious sword, this one! I say showing a black sword with a blade terribly cutting, it is on this one that Pandore is in admiration

- Do you like it ? I asked, tilting her head slightly, I see her big bright eyes while she nods: Too cute!

- You did it ? She asks me, resisting the urge to touch him, I pick him up from his perch where I hung him and then I hand him over to him

- That's right ! It's even the first sword I've created, I can not give it or sell it to anyone, because it's very sharp and if you do it badly, it's possible that it does a lot of damage and hurt!

Pandore is all impressed and I feel she has an irresistible urge to have it ... Maybe I can keep it and avoid selling it. But on condition that she follows sword handling courses of course. It was then that Elena called Pandore telling her that she had to go to the garden to see the goods offered for Organization 63, Pandore respond to the order and then run to join her, leaving me with my apprentices ... Strange May she be so attracted to this sword here!

- Good! Everyone on break, you have 30 minutes so enjoy well for you to rest or stretch you so time not to lose the tone! I told them before leaving my dojo to discreetly follow Pandore and Elena to inquire.

Since what happened last time with the aggression of this soldier, I prefer to be wary of Pandore, and also the last time she managed to surprise Brooklyn. I do not know what she is hiding but it worries me so I made a commitment to keep an eye on her, she remained calm during all the checks and in the distance I see the boats arrive.

The requisition is now open !

(Internal point of view: Damian)

We took the boat very early this morning, I'm tired but my father and Ziggurat forced me to make the requisition with the soldiers, this band of fools is not even able to face the White Manor, then that we have absolutely nothing to fear from them. On the one hand I have a certain impatience that trots me throughout the body, I have his face in my mind: His angry doll face, with her beautiful black hair soft but soaked by the rain, her pretty red dress, his beautiful round brown eyes almost dark chocolate and his lips ... so exquisite!

- I'm so impatient to see what you reserve for me today ... My tender little girl! I thought, patting my fingers against the edge of my chair impatiently.

- Sir! We have arrived ! I warn a soldier, I sketch an amused smile then get out of my seat to get off the boat first while the soldiers unload the containers to store the goods, I see then women of reception of the White Manor, immediately they lower the head telling me

- Good morning, Mr. Hart! We hope you enjoyed your trip!

- That was very good thank you very much (I raise the chin of one of them) but please, next time, keep your head high otherwise your beautiful faces will not be exposed! They blush as I walk towards the White Manor, I snap my fingers and my soldiers begin to spread over the territory to recover the goods.

Me on my side, I walk in the garden. I am looking for her throughout the territory, I feel that she is hidden somewhere here, I feel her fruity smell and presence. This is my gift, I am a human with an animal instinct very alert and a little threatening because I have terribly fine sense of smell as well as senses awake like those of a predator hunting, I even though I'm half-deaf like my father ... Nobody can escape me and I have a terribly supple body that allows me to be very agile and gives me an impressive power in combat with bare hands or with weapons , not like Jack who can break everything with a single punch but me ... The fight is my strong point. And besides I am very devious and clever, like Jiro and Brooklyn, we are a real nuisance for those who want to stand in front of us.

From where I get the nickname "Demonic Beast" from the White Manor.

I then arrive at Allan's restaurant where the butler comes to see me, I greet him and he leads me to the silverware with more porcelain dishes that I'm supposed to recover with the bottles of alcohol we ordered for the different breweries who called us. There I arrive in front of the merchandise and start to look at it carefully, my eyes detect the least problems and I do not see any imperfections on its cutlery in silver

- As usual Sebastian, your silver cutlery is perfect! The restaurants will tear them away, such qualities of work deserve almost a price at three four digits! An excellent job! I compliment it, it lowers with a slight smile

- Everything to please you sir! I'm looking for a box ... He said leaving leaving me a nice box well decorate where he deposited his silverware and gave it to me.

When I give him his due, 900 dollars for all his silverware, he thanked me by closing his box with his cutlery that I get and then leads me to the kitchen to go to visit Allan who is working

- Hello youngster! Are we still working? I tell him, I see him stop in his work to turn to me with his hands on his hips

- So what's it like to work my little old man? Will you soon need a cane to move? He says to me ironically, I snicker in my turn

- We must work a little, we can not stay slouched at home and serve us as little princes! One day or another must start working to get what we need to live is not it? I replied amicably.

He knocks in his hands with a smile

- That's very true, my little Damian! Well, I guess you came for my bottles, come with me! He told me, I'm at the wine cellar while some soldiers are taking the goods

- Hey fat man ! Where is the bottle at the gold price you had to sell? It was a very hard whiskey to make! Grumbles a soldier, it annoys me strongly that we do not respect Allan because of his weight, it is lamentable to attack him on his physique.

Allan approaches his biggest cupboard where he stores his most precious bottles and when he opened it ... The bottle of whiskey was not there!

- My bottle ...? I was sure I put it here! Say Allan, horrified, I frown in frustration, as I was going to bring this bottle to HQ to enjoy with the superiors. That's when this fruity scent comes to tickle my senses again, I turn my eyes slightly and then see Pandore away from the doors of the restaurant by firmly holding a box similar to that where we keep the bottles against his chest

- Find... ! I thought before telling Allan that it does not matter and that the store will wait, but at least I take the order for this bottle for next time.

Allan gives me a ticket proving that I ordered home, I put it in my wallet and then a moment to have a drink with Allan and then at the end of the discussion, Jiro signal to me that he will go to have fun after he gave me his fill list ... Except the items reserved for the antique store! Why does that surprise me halfway? As soon as it's about Elena, it's always him who shows up to take care of it, when in Brooklyn she does not care, she chooses without thinking but I've seen her very often go to the dojo of Kirsten, yet these two are real rivals. Besides, I see her come all sweaty but with a smile on her lips

- Did you fight again with your best friend? I tell her ironically, she blows a good blow coming to sit next to me.

- The fact that you are my superior would not prevent me from sticking my fist in your face! Allan, give me a drink! (she puts her beautiful hair back) Let's say I had fun with Kirsten, and once again she always kept good reflex, I have to congratulate her stupid brother for making me such an opponent with such incredible training , and it's the same for this idiot Naru. She exclaims while Allan gives her her drink, she catches it and then starts drinking it, in my mind I think it would be nice for me to get away when Kirsten and Brooklyn get together

- And why did you fight this time? I asked her as I finished my drink.

She finishes hers then sighs

- I went to get the weapons for the Asian store at Kirsten, but when I did the check of what I needed, I noticed her black sword she exposed in her wardrobe, this little plague has had the audacity to refuse me his most expensive sword while it would have been the element that would have brought us a lot of money. Never seen such stupid people! And you on your side? I sketch an amused smile and sneer

- I encountered a small difficulty with my order, say that I suffered a small absence of merchandise ... due to a small thief! Did I say

- A thief ? Do you mean that there is a little girl who had the stupidity to touch our goods? (she cracks her fingers) So, it deserves an exemplary punishment! Grunts Brooklyn, getting up and heading outside, I sigh and follow her.

Hide quickly, darling ...

(Internal point of view: Elena)

Several soldiers came to complain about our work, Lady Andrea, Valerian and I were overwhelmed with complaints. We are exhausted, but what is happening? Suddenly, I feel the presence of Jiro inside the White Manor, immediately I decide to leave for my room because it is certainly there that he is waiting for me. I open the door and obviously he is there, on my bed with his beautiful black hair bristle discovered, he who usually always keep them under his black hood, then he is watching my business created for the antique store

- I knew you would know that I would wait for you there! I thought you would not come to see me! He declares to me, I sigh

- By force I get used to it, you always loved to invite you to my room until I noticed you! I do not even need to use my gift to know you're here! I replied.

Our eyes are linked!

- I recovered the items you owed me ... but I'm still waiting for something not true? He said, raising an eyebrow, I have a shiver knowing everything he wanted to talk about, I quietly grit his teeth and answer him

- You do not need me to see her! So you went all the way just for that? When he saw me frown, he sketched a smile, got up from my bed and approached me to catch my chin

- Please darling do not take me for a fool, it's insulting and very hurtful for me! You refuse to take advantage of it by protecting it behind a magic barrier while I am also responsible for it. It would still be nice if she knew who I am, no? He declares, I push his hand sharply and answer him

- No time you'll be like this! I will not let you go near it until you stop everything you do at home! And I would be uncompromising on that, and you know Jiro!

(Internal point of view: Pandore)

I collapse on the ground with my head spinning, the inside of my nose burning with my tired eyes, without doing it on purpose I let out a burst by releasing the bottle of empty whiskey. But what am I stupid, why do I decide to drink all of Allan's bottle instead of emptying it on the floor? But ... Allan took so long to make this bottle, create these drinks it's his pleasure, the one that gives him pride and happiness, I did not want to throw such a job or let the Organization 63 the sell for gold and keep all the money for them ... It's a shame to do so!

- Oh, I found it! Did I hear two threatening presences approaching me ...

I'm lost !
