I want to thank everyone who is following this book! I want to say that I am thinking of doing an RV FF with the characters of a book I'm writing to get your ideas. THis is an updated chapter.
Silence enclosed the two of us as we sat on a wooden bench, holding a cold can of soda on each of our persons. Breathing in, I looked at her. "Are you truly Isabelle, or are you just some imposter? Because I already feel guilty about that day."
"Luke, it is me, or rather my soul, anyway. I'm the ghost of your best friend. That fire wasn't your fault intentionally. You were angry at whatever we were fighting about when you unleashed her for the first time!" She placed her hands on my shoulders and shook. Making me come out of my funk.
"You are saying that you died because I wasn't in control of my emotions. It sounds like it's my fault to me." A hefty sigh escaped my lips as I stood up. "By the way, you know you're not supposed to reveal your form, right?"
She nodded her head as shouting came from the hallway. We raced inside to find Kurumu surrounded in a sea of hypnotized male students as she revealed what kind of monster she was to Moka who looked like she was about to cry. We saw Tsukune with Kurumu, telling Moka that he didn't want to be her food anymore.
We saw the blue-haired girl drag Tsukune away as Moka knelt and cried. "Moka! What's wrong?" I asked, running over to her with the soul of my dead friend in tow.
"Tsukune…" sobs escaped her as she formed a sentence. "Tsukune said that he didn't want to be my friend because I treat him like my food source. That's not true!" Tears fell from her eyes as we pulled her off the floor.
"Well then let's go before he does something stupid and get himself killed." We raced to find Tsukune and his puppeteer entering the nurses' room as Isabelle grabbed my arm, her hand felt like ice, as it removed some of my energy. A whip of fire from the lighter shot forth and whipped her hand away with a hiss coming from my friend's lips as a second whip landed on the ground twisting itself as it took the form of a busty woman wrapped in flames. "Sala, that wasn't nice."
The woman of fire glared at Isabelle as she crossed her arms underneath her bust. "An elemental being will protect her master in exchange for the ability to command the element of the being through the mind. Yes?"
"Yes, that's what you and grandpa told me when he gave me this fire starter." I held the lighter in my hand as Moka swung the door to the nurses open. We saw her running inside as we heard glass breaking along with shouting.
We ran into the room to see Moka and Tsukune clinging to Kurumu as the succubus flew as she rapidly altitude thanks to the unwanted weight. Sala went back into the lighter, giving me access to my powers. "Bell come on!" I jumped over the broken glass as my feet and hands caught fire, giving me flight.
Isabelle sighed as let legs became transparent as they formed together to form your classical ghost. Awkwardly making my way to the trio, I fell below the treeline. 'Protect me my ass.'
'Heard that Master.' I heard her in my head as I grunted in pain from the impact of my legs touching the ground. After the pain subsided, Kurumu sailed past me and kept going as she slammed into the trees.
When she stopped moving, the silver-haired Moka walked casually toward the succubus, making threats about tearing off her wings and tail. Moka's shadow rippled as Isabelle gave the vampire a backward bear hug, draining her of her lifeforce as I summoned a whip and slammed it between the two monsters. "Enough! Moka, Kurumu had to do what she needed to save her kind from extinction. Put your pride away and see yourself in her shoes. Would you do the same?" I asked her as Isabelle slowly released herself from the vampire.
Seconds turned into minutes as fluttering bats and ravens as her answer was one word. "Yes." She left the succubus to get her rosary as I helped the shaken Kurumu up.
The day after the incident, Tsukune and I left the males dormitory with the ladies coming to greet us from their dorms. We saw Kurumu greet us with a pink box wrapped in a ribbon when she closed in on me, flames curled around my arms and Isabelle stood over me protectively. "Good morning guys, I made you all some cookies, but more importantly I've made them for you Luke. Because I've decided that you will be my Destined One!"
"Huh?" I looked at the girl as she opened the box slowly as I willed the flames to die down as she explained.
"We succubi have to choose one male to spend our life with. The reason I did what I did was to find a suitable mate to give me children to increase the number in my species, and so I've chosen you!"
I looked at Isabelle as I thought it over. "Kurumu, could you give me some time to think about it. Yesterday I found out that my… best friend, who I believed to be dead for three years, that I've also had a thing for, is now walking amongst us. So please give me time to sort everything out." I took a cookie and bit into it, smiling at the taste as I saw the blue-haired girl nod her head with a sad forceful smile placed on her lips.
