The King Is Still Standing chapter 13
The hell that took place at the hospital is over, there were a lot of casualties one was mine but they seeped it as the creepy fake nurse's doing. "it feels good to be out and about~" I gave a little stretch and cracked my neck along with it "yes~ now we can continue our life has a couple" kurumu started clinging onto my arm "yes! Couple" moka grabbed my other arm "I want to join in desu~" yukari climbed my back once more "you sure have a thing with woman shiva~ makes we want you more"
"Keito!" she addressed herself in front of me "everyone freeze~" mizore turned them all to ice "can't you see shiva can't move around if you cling to him~"
"thanks mizore, but you can unfreeze them now"
"okay~ but because you said so~" mizore has this weird girly act sometimes, kind of cute "AHHH! Mizore can you not freeze us all the time!"
"sorry but you clinging to shiva and he couldn't move"
"but that is what boyfriend and girlfriend do! hold each other" while they argued yukari noticed something "what happen to shiva?"
"ugh? Ugh!? Where did he go!?" he disappeared "that's shiva for you, can't just give in to our womanly demands got to make It a challenge"
"Keito I think womanly looks is the appropriate wording"
"I know what I said" I worry sometimes.
Meanwhile where ever the hell shiva is ~
"hmmm~ mmm~ ummm~" I hummed a tune in my solute aka the might tree, "I shouldn't really be alone~ don't know who will take advantage of you"
"yes could happen at anytime as well~" oh shit, I remember that voice "Shiva-kun~ where were you when we planned a date!~" Tamao-senpai slithered her way up the tree scaring me further "well the thing is~ I was kind of dead again~ so I missed it?"
"hmmm~!" she was judging me heavily staring daggers "oh well~ I guess I can't argue, you're a man who attracts dangerous people" tell me about it "But! That means we have to schedule a rain check"
"ummmm~ about that~" I paused on the news getting death glare storm "I don't think I can date anyone unless … part … of … the … harem~ sorry" she had to process things "ah~ I see, you're a pussy"
"NO!" she laughed at me "I guess the young man I cared about isn't so young anymore~"
"I'm like turning 17"
"Oh~ how time steals our precious moments in life treasure your youth shiva"
"you are like a year older than me"
"oh well~ chow shiva! by the way I move out of the way if I were you" she pointed to my left and I just got up when I saw her *crash!* "Owwie~ why did you move shiva~"
"because you would of killed me with that tackle! Be careful when you're flying!" kurumu pouted annoyed she couldn't help herself "well I just wanted to show my affection for my boyfriend, is that too much to ask!?" I dropped down "alright, come here" I opened my arms for her to accept "humph~ I don't know if I want one right now!"
"suit yourself, I could fine moka and-"
"No! I'm sorry I really want them now" she cupped her arms around me "okay, okay here I'll return one" she embraced the hug I embraced her softness, soft comfy~ *ting, ting~* "hey shiva?"
"hello kurumu"
"do you think I can take off this rosary?" she stared in awe at it, getting me to questioned as well "umm? That is curious, maybe give it a wack" she agreed and gave it a light tug, "oh? maybe more strength" she tried harder then harder then harder but failed each time "ohhh~! This is annoying! Humph~"
"it's okay, maybe it's locked on one person~" her hug got tighter when I spoke "you love me right~?"
"where is this coming from kurumu?" she squeezed harder "can you answer it for me"
"well yes love you, so much in fact I'm willing to do anything"
"then why can't I take off the rosary~?" just more sad questions "okay kurumu tell me, why are you so concerned about the rosary?" she buried herself in my chest avoiding me "it as something to do with moka isn't it? You saw when she took it off yesterday" it pains me when she avoids me and grip my shirt so much "listen a rosary knows nothing of love, because this thing would of let you rip it off otherwise, so why are you so conflicted with it?" she finally got out of my shirt to ask me her problem "it's because I still feel like you like moka more than me~" my heart nearly broke, I thought loving multiple people would remove superiority, "okay listen, I love you and I love moka, you are both my girlfriends but I thought accepting you both would make it equal but I can see I was wrong, you still want to compete to be favourite and I think you're wasting your time" she waited eagerly for my next statement "because everyone is my favourite and no one holds value over the other, that is love is it not?" she was falling into tears, starting to sniff "*sniff* I'm sorry~"
"for what kurumu?"
"*sniff* for questioning you, I knew you loved me but I still wanted proof I acted selfish~"
"no it okay to question things, just don't think you matter less in this relationship"
"shiva~" she stared passionate into my eyes "kurumu~" I returned the gaze soon meeting her lips, they were soft and tender I just fell into it.
"I hope you're planning on sharing him?" our moment was ruined with a little spider spiralling down "how long have you been here Keito?"
"I actually got here before you"
"that is kind of scary~" she shrugged it off "so are you going to answer my question, are you planning on sharing him kurumu?" Keito stared down kurumu she just gripped my arm "yes" she answered "and no!" then came the truth "I will share him seeing it's a harem but I have my wants a needs so I'll steal him has well!" she was a determined fighter "heh! I like her, you do know how to pick them shiva" Keito seemed really pleased with kurumu's determined stand "now how about we go make those babies that I promised, I'll even consider a threesome with her" I looked to kurumu heavily blushing bright red "hmmmm~ no" I turned the offer down spiking kurumu "Keito you are definitely too crazy to be kurumu's first time and I'll only take her on when she is fully ready to do so"
"WhAt! iF I Am ReAdY nOw~!" she bursted in a dramatic flurry "are you sure? Wouldn't you rather your first time be after you get married?" she exploded in colour covering her face "ohhh~ don't hide away kurumu! Show off that adorable cute face~" she avoided being seen crouching in a ball, I truly love her~.
Club hours started up again, I could say I missed them but~ "could you not sit on him!" it was the same ordeal out there "I'm sorry? do you want a turn?"
"N-no! maybe~ I just think club hours should be professional!"
"moka does have a point?" I suggested "we should act professional or we could miss the deadline"
"See! Even shiva agrees" moka felt triumph "well if you say so, that means no more lap pillows or lap seats~" moka started to re-think her victory "and no more hand holding, cuddling or kissing just plain old work relation status" I added seeing moka didn't feel so victorious "okay you win~ we don't have to act professional~" moka revoked her victory "hey maybe you should give a lap seat a try" kurumu suggested "really? You're just going to let me? Sit on shiva?"
"yes! This is a harem so we got to share shiva, so take it or leave it" she acted so professional, I'm adoring the new kurumu. "okay I try it out, so I sit like this" she decided to sit regularly on me "sure, by try this" I spun her hips 90 degrees and threw her arms around my neck "how does that feel?"
"better~" she had a light blush looking into my eyes "I'm glad I made you happy" I smiled towards her and she took a great step *chu~* she gave me a kiss on the check making me blush "what~ we're in a relationship, we can do those types of things~" she became mega adorable right now, "Okay times up!" in jealousy kurumu pulled moka off my lap "H-hey! I thought you said we can share!?"
"yeah, but you ran out of time so my turn! H-Hey!?" kurumu looked back to mizore on my lap but she faced straight towards me "what are you doing?!"
"I wanted a turn and I think I win~"
"win what!? There was no competition!" kurumu questioned but to release what she means when she saw my embarrassed look "he's enjoying himself~"
"n-n-no~ I s-sswear~ just mizore can you get off?~" I covered my eyes but she leaned closer "don't worry we can make babies later~" she wasn't wearing a bra! *poke~* "oh I've been poked" AHHHHHHHHHH!.
A few minutes later and I was in the bathroom washing my face, memories just flooded back into my eyes "NO! *bang* oww~ I need to control my reactions~ don't want to be brain dead"
"Yes that would be a bummer!" I spun around and saw a quirky dressed man "if you were to bang your head into those sink my entertainment would ceased to exist"
"I'm going to stop you right there, first off who the hell are you? What?" I caught his attention "okay I'll help you out, I'm kiria yoshii of the outcast ayashi" my eyes burned orange taking stance "cool it, even though I'm here to fight you it's just not you yet so ease up a little" if it was that easy "I am here to give you guys a chance"
"a chance you say?"
"yes that is what I say, a chance to entertain me and I will let all you guys off the hook" he was sketchy but he doesn't sound like a liar "and just to help a little more I'm talking of combat means so don't come with a circus or whatever, I have taken interest in that friend of yours Akashiya moka-san, she a vampire if I'm not mistaken"
"nope not at all"
"Heh your funny, go to your friend and take her to the cemetery where I will judge if you are to be ignored"
"and how can I take your word for it?" he vanished to whisper something behind me "you can't~ also don't tell anyone about your job, chow" he was fucking weird.
I walked to the girls dorm needing to pick someone up, "alright if I remember her room is around her" I scaled the doors with names across them, thankfully they're alphabetical and I found it pretty easily *knock, knock* "coming!" the girlish voice I was looking for is still home *click* "Oh?! shiva what a surprise what are you doing here?"
"I just thought since our date was a few days back and I missed it, that you would like to go on a walk with me?" I offered my hand for her "Oh sure, just let me get dressed"
"okay kurumu, I'll be waiting" I think I caught her in a more relaxed time because she had a nightgown on. "okay ready!" she came out with a coat and shoes and fitted her hair "so are we just going for a walk? Where to~"
"don't get to excited it's a walk but there is a twist in the end"
"a twist?~ am I going to be lead on a moonlit night to a sweet dance?"
"you'll be disappointed if you think like that" she didn't seemed to annoyed by response just held close. "shiva is there something on your mind?" she finally questioned my spacing "well yes but I can't tell you"
"oh why not~?" she questioned playfully "I was told not to tell others, so it's a secret"
"okay then~ I won't push you to tell" she seemed a little shaken by it but didn't let disturb the walk continue peacefully around my arm. "hey kurumu?" I got her attention "are you still upset you can't remove my rosary?" I also got her surprised "where's the coming from shiva? does it have something to do about this walk?" man she's sharp "no~ I just want to know if you'll hate me if you can't remove it?" she stopped in her tracks to hold my hands tight, "I thought I said I would never hate you, not even if you despised my existence I will continue to love you" she gave me an angelic look that pried on my forgiveness "yes~ I'm sorry, I don't ever want to hate you or let you hate me, just if you can't remove my rosary we might be in trouble"
"what did you do?" her tone was firm, like a wife caught her husband drinking "nothing~ I just ran into the outcast ayashi again…~"
"Shiva!" I was shrinking under her penitence stare but was brought back when she collapsed me in a hug "why do you have to scare me all the time!~" she yelled into my chest "is it amusing to watch me worry about you!~"
"n-no~"
"Then why do you keep getting yourself in dangerous situation!~ this is not healthy shiva~ for you and for me~!" her tears are painful to watch, breaking me more and more "please tell me shiva~ what do you get out of scaring me like this"
"come here~" I couldn't stand the sight bringing her back into a hug "I don't get anything from seeing you cry, it hurts me to know you are not smiling" I proclaimed with every passion I have "you know the original option was to give up moka to the bastard for a fight but I couldn't do that" I felt her grip at my shirt "but I choose you because I believe in kurumu, I believe you wouldn't let some asshole get in your way but most importantly" I took her hand to place over my neck "I believe kurumu won't let a rosary stop her from loving me either"
*shink!*
Kiria has been waiting at the graveyard for a while just reading his book in patience "I wonder if he's coming? I wouldn't blame him if he ran away, just means I'll need to find him again"
"Who would run away from your ugly ass!" I challenged him from the tree line "so he actually came and in your demon form I noticed, is moka nearby?"
"No! but I got someone just as awesome"
"If not better!" there she came flying into the scene "mmm~ you have disappointed me shiva, I thought you would obliged to my demands"
"yeah~ no, I don't listen to assholes so you can forget getting me to sell my friend" he didn't look to pleased "well if the mighty vampire isn't coming then I guess I'll let my friends deal with you" *click* out of no where cyclops fell from the sky "Jesus! Christ! That is a dramatic entrance!?"
"heh~ I should say these guys aren't part of the outcast ayashi so they'll be going all out" these monster are definitely not part of the same organisation "hehehe~ are we really allowed to go all out kirai~?"
"yeah! Do as you please" disgusting I wouldn't let them get away with such acts "hey kurumu, think can take on the tuxedo giants?"
"ha! I can take them down in no time flat!" she readied her claws "that's the sprit then I'm after kiria"
"Why do you say It like your hunting me?! I don't remember you being an issue?"
"Well I'm about to become one!" *Boom!* kiria was forced to dodge "at least you as fast as they say!"
"yeah try to keep up!" *crash!* I didn't let him catch a breath "you are strong too! You might make me reconsider my opponent"
"how about focusing where I am first!" kiria was fast I admit, able to duck under my swipes "K~Yah!"
"kurumu!" her screams threw me off "shiva look out!" but it was short lived when I snapped back to kiria take a slice at my distraction "Shiva please watch your fight!"
"Yeah! Sorry couldn't help but check on you!" kiria just missed me with his deformed sword snipping bits of my hair "Shiva have trust in me, I won't let these guys win so keep your eyes fixated on kiria"
"okay!~ I trust you! don't let me regret it!" round two begun "He~YaH! Rah! Ah!" I went on a rampage of attacks trying to drown out kurumu's screams with mine "Ahh~! Arrrhhh! Kyah!" I kept replaying in my head 'trust her, trust her focus!' it was slowly losing effort "kurumu isn't looking too good~ maybe you should help her?"
"Shut up kiria! She's doing okay! I trust her!"
"oh? from my point of view she looks like to be losing, down to her underwear" don't listen to him he's taunting your emotions "AHHH! Shit! Ee~aahh!" it's not true drown it out just ignore it, you must trust her! "Don't you think weak woman are annoying~?" kiria suggested into my ears "I remember you did say you don't accept weak woman so why keep her~? She's a pain after all"
"SHUT UP!" in an angered moment my power increased "I WON'T ALLOW YOU TO TALK TO KURUMU THAT WAY!" I pushed forward rearing my fist back "STEP OFF!" *BOOM!*I crashed my fist into his face getting a shockwave out of it "Oh shit! Kiria!"
"Kiria-san!?"
"what Are YOU DOING TO MY KURUMU!" my anger exploded into my heat erupting flames in my eyes "AarrrAhh~! Nothing man! honest"
"yeah, yeah! Just scratched off a few clothes"
"LIARS!" *Boom!* "gyak!"
"ALL LIARS!" *boom!* "Gayk!"
"RRAAWWAAHH!" I stood atop them in victory letting out a beastly howl "shiva~?" I snapped towards a worried voice "that is you~ shiva?~" I looked into her fearful eyes thinking something is wrong " Y-yes~ I am shiva, I'm sorry am I scaring you again? I'm such an ass" kurumu started to cry running straight at me "No! I'm sorry~! I was just worried I lost you but I'll always know you're shiva, you are my shiva!" she tackled me for a hug apologising for some reason "that's okay, I hope this walk was okay because I'm kind of tired"
"oh! then why not end this beautiful walk by staying at my place~?" she finally squirmed it out, "okay I guess it too late to go to my place I can hang around" she blissed me with a beautiful smile while she held onto my hand, ending my day with such delight.
