The King Is Still Standing chapter 9
"Ahhhhh! What happen to you shiva?!" kurumu was already screaming "oh this it's nothing just a new haircut that's all"
"NO! I'm talking about the bandages your covered in?! how did this happen?~" dam I thought it was really hidden "frankly my dear, I can't say" kurumu was confused "I don't remember getting mummified just remember saizou ganging up on me then I woke up and to what I hear was victorious in the gang up, coming from moka of course" on sync she turned to moka and became suspicious "so you know what happened?"
"well yes but no~ it was a really terrifying experience I didn't get much look of it" kurumu didn't believe her for a second "alright! But If I find out your hurting my shiva! I simply can no longer trust you to be near him" she sounded very dignified causing moka to feel guilt, maybe she does remember something. "may I asked shiva?" yukari appeared "I recently found out saizou became part of the outcast ayashi so the guys you 'beat up' were they mainly disfigured?"
"well yeah I think? One had swords for hands the other looked half complete"
"oh dear" oh dear? Why oh dear "shiva if you beat these guys up nasty things could happen to you!" that is major oh dear "see the outcast ayashi are a group mainly built around 'outcast monsters' hence the name and I've heard that they look down on purebred monsters, so you should be really careful in future context"
"that is major oh dear~" I referred my stand in the world shrinking away in my seat "mmookkaa~" more oh dears "I can't trust you now!" kurumu lashed out "you just put my precious shiva in the most server danger ever! Now I'll have to take care of him~" kurumu leaped onto me pressing the wound "Owowowow! Kurumu not so tight!"
I was later found walking with moka enjoying myself nonetheless but, "shiva I think we should see the doctor~"
"nonsense! I'm perfectly fine I don't need someone to check on me" I avoided her worries, not actually getting away "please shiva! I'm worried, what would I do if you dropped unconscious what would I tell my friends?!" she was really pasteurizing this problem of mine "you don't have to worry so much moka, this is my body I can do what I want with It"
"no shiva! don't say such reckless things! Please I'm scared of before!" she caught my attention "before you… you died" I was shocked to hear this "but when things were becoming worse you got back up and you acted weird"
"weird how moka?"
"I don't know, when you got up you started to murder all of them" this was surprising news "you acted so vicious, they were quick easy kills like you were crushing ants" she finished her sentence terrified of it "it wasn't you so I'm very worried that you'll switch back to that rampaging anger!"
"*sigh* I've had enough" I spoke full of dread "moka you want to know why I acted that way?" she was stunned but listen "the way I acted is why I was alone for so long, if you saw that me then you have a reason to be afraid" she looked shock "it's something I don't tell others, painful memories drive from that side of me, I can't remember a time before that wasn't horror"
"i-I don't follow shiva~?"
"of course you don't, know has and no one will it's my burden to deal with and no one else" moka had a sad look on her face "I'm going to walk the rest of the way home alone, you have a goodnight moka-san"
"shiva~" it pains me to have anyone know this secret.
I sat in the tree, slowly making this our place of meeting "so apparently moka is taking a break from school"
"What?! Without permission right? That doesn't sound like moka at all?" kurumu was worried as well that moka took a leave without much noticed behind it, I probably have something to do with it. "hey shiva is something wrong? You seemed distance"
"oh? sorry about that guess I'm trying to remember old past" I responded clearly upset in matters "well some interesting side of news I went to ginei-senpai to learn more about the outcast ayashi and found out they hate losing" this seems interesting "they're apparently have a big sense of pride and don't take kindly to weaklings as most are incredibly strong opponents"
"plus the public safety committee are on the lookout for them"
"oh hello Keito, thought you weren't part of the committee?" I looked down to see the same striking gaze of Keito looking back at me "I'm not, I just know things" she mentioned climbing up now sitting on my lap facing inwards, "Ahem! We are trying to discuss our next actions towards the threat so can you not push yourself all over him!" kurumu was defensive as always "oh? hehe~ okay I'll just take something before I leave" before I knew it, Keito looked me in the eyes then I melt something warm enter my mouth "mmm?~ MMmM!" she kissed me but went further, her tongue started to swivel Inside my mouth "Hey! what are you doing to him!?"
"Ah~ thanks for the meal shiva~ I'll expect some tonight" Keito jumped off walking away leaving me so vulnerable "What the hell?! Shiva are you okay?"
"I think I was just raped, I feel so cold~" I cradled myself in fear "oh my poor shiva, come here I'll warm you up just relax" she picked me up into a close hug "guess you can't handle strong affection or were you caught off guard by it?" she had the sweetest voice, probably thanks to being a succubus "may I ask a question from you kurumu?"
"what is it?"
"how ready are you for a relationship?" I asked her then she became slightly blushed "well I've been ready since I've meet you, you are my fated one so I've always wanted to be that special person in your life, are finally accepting my love?"
"don't jump to conclusion just yet, I've got another question" she was enticed to listen on "what would be your opinion if I couldn't choose? What is your views on a polygamy relationship?"
"that's two questioned silly~" her playful nature flicked me on the forehead "and to answer I would rather have you all to myself" her tone soften "I try to get most of your attention because I worry you'll look away from me and leave me behind" it was getting sadder "because I love you and I want the best out of you, so every instants you're not looking at me I slowly think your hating me~" this was hurting me I didn't want to listen to this "okay come here my turn" I pulled her into my hug "I'm going to rip this band aid off real quick, I love moka" she gripped at my shirt "and I love yukari, but as important I love you" her grip squeezed for life "and I refuse to let any of you get hurt, I know by not choosing I'm putting more strain on everyone but I can't help it, every second I'm with you guys I'm always in heaven so when you move away I fell like hell, and I hurt myself doing so" my shirt felt wet, around my chest "so if you continue to love me it's going to make it harder for me to choose and you want me to choose you but you must understand, I can't live like this I can't live on knowing someone hates because I chose a different answer!" *wack! Chu~* In a brief moment I was laid in confusion has my forehead hurts slightly more and my mouth covered. When mouths were free someone couldn't contain their problems "I hate you!" my heart ached "I hate that you think my feelings will change for you when you choose someone else!" my eyes grew cold "I told you before I will always love you even if you hate me! And that will never change!" she gripped more at my chest "so tell me~" she muttered annoyed under her breath "So tell me how many times I must say it before it gets through your thick skull!" she was yelling so much anger and leaking tears "I don't know~ I just don't want to hurt you~"
"shiva~" she cupped her hand around my check "I know you'll never hurt me" I deepen into a worse mess when I heard that "w-whaat m-mmakes yyou so sure~?"
"I just know" she closed in stealing another kiss, it was so soft like cotton candy.
Kurumu parted from my lips only to lie on my chest "so what happens now~?" kurumu managed to question after the sadness that took place "well I need to ask moka if she wants to be in a relationship that will consist of you as well"
"what about yukari?"
"well I don't want to be labelled a lolicon so I'll just let her play around and let her decide if she wants to join" kurumu gave me a kind smile "okay~ what about Keito, she seems really into you?" I gave a small blush to the question "oh yeah~ about that, she agreed to a polygamy before it was on the table, but I don't know if I want to consider her~"
"why not? Even though her personality is weird she is a real help"
"buuuut~ I'm scared if I accept her I'll wake up bound and naked with Keito locking the room" kurumu just remembered getting plushie "o-oh!~ that makes since~ I noticed she is really forward~"
"scary forward, when I first meet her after the committee she state up started demanding sexual intercourse" she became redder in the face "d-did you do it?!"
"what!? N-no! I wasn't ready for it then! A-and I'm pretty sure I'm still n-not ready~" we were like a couple of grade schoolers just childishly blushing "sooo~ when will you ask moka?" she finally question "well I guess I'll do it right now seeing how I'll be really busy in the future"
"oh?! want me to come along?"
"no, thanks for the suggestion but it'll be best if it's a one on one conversation, I would like to hear it from her and not pressured from outside sources"
"okay~ if it makes you happy, I'll be waiting for your return *chu~*" she gave me a final kiss and walked to class all giggly and smooth, "alright, time to find moka"
I was running through the forest going faster has I get closer, not in a worry at all "what's got you in such a rushed mood?" a voice called to me halting my sprint "perhaps your looking for someone? But who could it be" a man in a overcoat scars around his face, he wasn't alone either "could it be the owner of this bag?" he threw down a bag with a bat charm, it was moka's "I recommend you come with me if you wish to see her" his posy surrounded me creating a dangerous situation, I'm now worried about something. In a far off district there's an abandon school building, this looks to be their base, "Shiva! no don't come closer!" a girls voice called out "you can't be here it's a trap just get out of here!"
"Moka! Gyak!" it my rash moments I was knocked to the side "now, now it was trouble to get her here if you want her back you better put your fist up"
"How can I trust your word?! So far your just a stranger who chained up someone precious to me!?"
"you are observant but I always keep my word!" some immense power started coming off him, then his body started to grow "remember all you've got to do is beat me!" he brought down his arm creating a huge explosion destroying the wall that was behind me "Alright freak! But don't be a sore loser because you couldn't win!"
"So you dodge! Expected of the school's de-GYak!" he turned around to meet the end of my foot "half breed trash! Don't go forgetting your place in this world!" I made a new hole with his body, dust covered the area "moka are you okay?"
"y-yes~ but you shouldn't have come!"
"and why not? I care about you so if your in danger then I must come" I answered while examining the chains finding the lock which I broke off "but these guys are using me to get to you~ remember these guys are the outcast ayashi~"
"listen moka" I grabbed her face facing me "no matter who takes you no matter the status I will come after you, I will destroy worlds to see you friendly face again" she broke in tears with a sadden frown but the sounds of rubble moving distracted me "moka I'm going to beat this guys for you, then I need to discuss the future of our relationship, k?" she looked confused only worsening when I walked off "alright ugly! Let's play"
