The King Is Still Standing chapter 11

"isn't this fun!" nightmarish figures danced in my head "come on! Killing the weak is why we exist!" horror played jump rope on my heart "Oh? maybe you are the weak! I think I should kill you next!"

"NOO!" terrified I jumped out of a resting position to see white walls surround me "where am i~?"

"So you're up~? Good morning" from the shadows rose a man in a full white costume "you seem to be having nightmares? Scared of your own power perhaps?" he questioned in a terrifying manner, with glowing eyes and abyssal design "Who the fuck are you!? and what do you know!?" I was sporadic moving frequently, paying the price "Oww~ shit"

"I would strain your body, you are in mostly perfect condition but you are still in some pain" okay so no moving around a lot, that's problematic "don't worry shiva, he's a exorcist you saved your life along with your friends" a voice I haven't heard in a long time "ruby-san?~ long time no see"

"yeah~ It has been long, wish I didn't have to meet you like this" such a peaceful tone, this is definitely ruby. "uhh~ who's making such a fuss~?" a tired head woke up "moka!? You're okay?~" I spoke in glee "shiva~? you're awake~ You're awake!" she snapped from a dazed state and jumped around my neck "oh I was so worried about you~ you we're really terrifying and I thought I lost you~"

"hey, hey don't tear up I'm okay, beside not remembering much I'm perfectly normal and you haven't lost me yet" I tried to calm her down but she didn't look to pleased, "speaking of the matters would you like to know what happen to you, Mr Abaddon?"

"oh? I guess so, are you going to explain it creepy exorcist?" ahh mouth slipped, "My you have a rude mouth!~ I'm regretting saving you~!"

"I'm sorry~ I got to carefree for a second, I meant no offensive~" I pleaded hoping for sympathy "don't mind him, he would of help you anyway"

"really?~" I stared star gazed "a friend of mine suggested I take a look into it, said she really cares about your health~"

"her? Who could your lady friend be?"

"I think you know her~ she did drive you to this school~"

"Her?! She actually cares about me! That's surprising, i-in a good way of course! Heheh~" his look never changed just dark glaring eyes "okay~ back to the topic at hand, what the fuck happened to me~! Because I'll like to know what" the moment I spoke everyone had a sad face written, like they were at a funeral "okay I'll tell you" moka spoke up "you remember the time saizou had ganged up on you and did things to me, then you did things to them" I nodded in agreement "well it happened again… but worse"

"how worse moka?"

"you even attacked your friends" dread exploded onto my face "you said the shiva we knew was gone and he was all that remained, he was a malicious creature bent on killing others no matter who" I was terrified, hearing it sounds like a nightmare "but he's gone now and I've been told he's to never return apparently" she nudged towards the exorcist "well yes I've placed two locks around your neck, one is a specially made lock for you called a bulls collar the other is a near replica of moka's rosary it's there because your human form is shattered and you are stuck in your demon form without it" I checked my neck and he was correct I had a rosary and a choke is a better term for it "so I must warn you, don't go braking that one because it's the last one in my possession"

"understood sir, keep it safe and well-guarded… but~" I began to question "what if I need to take it off? Could I just do it?" his expression seemed to change a little giving a more serious look "the rule for a rosary is only the one you truly love can remove it, no other option" it was surprising to hear and I unknowingly turned to moka seeing a cute small blush. "well~ I'll be off, I'll be back tomorrow for your check out~" he walked off opening and closing the door, leaving a dread silence overhaul. "hey I noticed that kurumu hasn't leaped onto me yet, where is the girl"

"oh~ she's right here, apparently she refused to be anywhere else but be side you" they scooted out revealing the sleeping girl, she was wrapped in some bandages "oh my poor kurumu" I got off the bed a walked to hers, caressing her check "you know, I kind of lied when I said I didn't know what happen back then, I remember things I wish I didn't" tears were slowly forming on my face "I remember nearly crushing her hand when she graciously offered it to me~ I made her cry~" I broke under remembering the horrors "I threw her aside like a ragdoll! But you know what worse than that~" I clenched my fist in anger "I know she'll forgive me, she wouldn't believe me if I said it's my fault!~" my anger was cooled when a soft hand entangled through mine "I don't think you should be holding so much blame on your shoulders shiva"

"moka~?"

"you did what you could to save me and I agree with that monster, he isn't you shiva he never will be" her kind words were brought with a sweet smile "yeah! That horrifying beast isn't you" a childish voice scampered to my other side "thank you guys, it means a lot to hear this I promise to never act like that ever again" I had my own smile to share feeling like air once more. "OH! before I forget, I had something I wanted to discuss with you moka before the outcast so rudely interrupted me"

"oh?, oh! you must be referring that you wanted to be in a relationship with me~" she knew already "so you know already?"

"yeah~ kurumu told me that you loved me and said you wanted me to … be … in … your … harem~" she got really red burning up as well "yeah~ I guess it's really embarrassing on one hand~"

"no not at all~" she spoke gripping my hand tighter "I always wanted you for myself, didn't want to share but I guess that's a little selfish" where have I heard that before "but I'm happy to be considered a partner to shiva even if it's in a harem" she looked into my eyes and I only saw happiness "because I love you, *chu~*" she jumped me going for my blood instead "uhhh~ I was expecting a kiss~"

"not until we have our date~ you can't take one so easily from me~" she waved her finger at me, when did she become a tease "Don't worry! I'll give you a kiss~ *smooch~* there~ that was my first" yukari climbed me and slapped a sloppy one on my cheek "well thank you yukari~"

"oh shiva~?" I turned to moka looking away "you're such a lolicon~"

"No! don't call me that!~" she got her laughs at embarrassing me, I've missed that laugh.

"Alright~ let's get those bandages off" the nurse here was decided to remove kurumu's bandages because of her training "my aren't you a fine looking young lady~ so much better without those cuts and bruises"

"yeah~ I'm quite glad none of you actually ended up with any serious damage considering the group you were up against" oh? does he know "yeah the outcast ayashi if I remember correctly, I would still be careful though, they are an unpredictable bunch" he sure knows how to reassure people in scary situations, "I don't need to worry~ because my darling will protect me" kurumu wasted no time clinging to me however I had a paining look on my face "are you okay shiva?"

"O-oh! yes~ I'm okay" I brushed it off quick spreading a smile as best as I could "are you sure? If there's something wrong please don't hesitate to rely on me~" she griped on my arm, warm soft boobs were clinging to me "Kurumu stop being so vulgar!~"

"why~ I'm his girlfriend I'm allowed to hold him close~" *boing* blissful heaven has pleasure was written on my face "W-well! I'm his girlfriend has well! So I can hold him close too!" I was yanked away from kurumu then my head landed in heavenly comfort "there! I can be handsy as well!" moka had lodged me into her soft yet firm bosom I could feel her heart beat "this is nice~" I muttered into her bosom her heart rate picked up "AhhH!~ Okay that's enough handsy experience!" she bounced away and I see she felt really embarrassed by it sprouting cute red checks, "oh isn't this great~ young love at its purest sometimes wish I can feel like that, by the way doctor mind spending a minute with me I've got something to discuss with you of private matters"

"alright, you guys are free to do what you want but don't leave the hospital just yet, we'll need to do one last check up for the all clear" the nurse took the doctor away to do some 'business' I really didn't want to know, "okay so what are we going to do in the meantime"

"well I'm kind of hungry, I guess sleeping a lot of hours does that to you"

"sure, I saw there's some snacks in the main lobby"

"alright, they better have some nice ones though"

Walking through the hallways I saw a lot of people in near worse conditions, I would be lying if I wasn't curious. "What do you mean he isn't in!" an aggressive tone argued around the corner "Are you saying I missed him!? because I remember him being unconscious the last time I was here! Which was yesterday!" the closer I got the louder and more familiar it became "Keito?"

"shiva!?" low and behold it is the spider I knew "Shiva! You're awake!" she ran straight to me giving me a bone crushing hug "Ahhh! Keito ease up! Your crushing me!" Keito noticed and cooled her grip but didn't let go "we are going to make babies now"

"excuse me?" before objections I was thrown onto her shoulder a carried off "Hey w-w-wait! Keito put me down!"

"not until I get my children, who knows when you're hospitalised again" she didn't halt "Keito put me down now!" I yelled at her in a threating tone "come on shiva~, don't speak so dirty to me until we're at the bedroom" but it was to no avail "freeze you crazy masochist" Keito's movements frozen when she turned to ice "mizore?! Oh thank god! You saved me~"

"no one's going to make babies unless it's me"

"ugh? UGH!?" I was back in square one because mizore has taken me hostage "Mr Abaddon please go to room 343 for your final check-up"

"saved~ again~""

"aww~ I guess I'll have to catch you next time~" I was released but I didn't feel safer.

"doctor? Are you in here?"

"yes come in" I entered to a fairly ordinary room, just a regular check-up block "so what type of checks are you going to do?"

"oh? oh yes, just some check-ups" he ignored my response "hey doc, why am I in for a check-up? When I woke up I wasn't covered in bandages, so what was my problem?" he froze for a sec getting a darken overhaul "you're smart Mr Abaddon, too smart for your own good" he started to reach for a stool "I told you to be careful~ yet you trust even the most simple of men!" in a quick madden succession he throw the stool but it was a distraction baiting me into being injected with a needle but I was able to catch his arms beginning a wrestle "you are quite persistent~ just give up! The outcast ayashi will win!~" he was not screwed on right, just foaming from the mouth "here~ just relax and let me inject you~! you'll be a lot better if I do~!" he pressured on putting more wait behind him "after I'm done with you~ I'll use this shot on your friends~" dread caught my eyes "one after the other~! To show you why you don't mess with us~! Now isn't that a cruel way to die!" anger was building up inside me, I wasn't going to let that happen *snap* his fore arms broke but it caused no flinch "you sure know how to piss someone off!" my eyes sparked a familiar burning glow but it was embers in comparison "Now! Step off!" I brought his body down towards my knee braking his neck *crack* it echoed around the room. "my oh my what's going on in here?" shit I've been caught with a dead body "oH! nurse, this is a misunderstanding the doctor acted crazy and started to act me and almost injected me with poison I believe"

"did I hear correct? You haven't taken the injection?" her question sparked my concerned but it was too late "Now that is no good~ I can't have the plan failing so soon too bad my puppet couldn't do it but I'm the next best thing~"

"Ahh! You bitch! What did … you … do~?" my body was giving up I was failing to move "don't bother~ you'll become my manipulated doll a kill your very friends"

"n … o … mo~"
