A.N.: This chapter may be a bit rough, so I apologize for it, but I wanted to post something so ya'll wouldn't be stuck waiting forever for another chapter yet again. Also, if you go to my profile, there's a perma link to my new discord server that's dedicated to all of you reader's, so if you want to talk to me, or just say hi and see how I'm doing or talk to me about fanfiction stuff you are free to join. ^^
I growled darkly at the male, scales flaring as I instinctively changed forms to my hybrid. "Heh, alway's were the one to react negatively to surprises. But I'm not surprised. After all, your lazy ass got captured by the human's like an idiot." He spat at me, obviously disgusted.
"That's funny, considering you were the one who paid of my guard's to leave me alone in the middle of known enemy territory, during a high-risk mission no less!" I growled furiously at him. "Now why the hell are you here now, brother?"
"I'm here to take you back with me. The council has sent me to retrieve you for a tribunal." He was dead serious, and the dark, suffocating aura that rolled off of him made me extremely uneasy...and if I admitted it...I felt a small twinge of fear at his word's.
"Why? Why now, after over 50 years did they finally intervene?" I murmured, confused.
"I wouldn't know, that's not my business. I just follow their order's, like a good little boy." He chuckled, though it was a dry, and bitter sound that only made me want to run away as fast as I could, but I knew that wouldn't work...there were still E1 student's in the vicinity, and if he knew where I was right now, he'd been watching me for a while, which meant that he would know that they were a weakness he could exploit. Even...Korosensei was a weakness. "Now, come along, and don't you dare put up a fight, or I will use force on you. Don't think I'm fooling around now little sister."
I gulped, shaking slightly. "Brother...I'm afraid...I'll have to decline." I didn't want to leave. I wanted to stand up for myself for once, and not let him force me to leave those I had grown close to. I'd grown stronger...maybe I-"AGH!" I was cut off from my thought's as a clawed hand gripped my throat and lifted me off the ground, strangling the air from my body.
"Now now, what about what I said made you think there was an option or say in the matter? If the Council call's someone in for a Tribunal, there is no escaping it. You are coming with me right now, whether it be willingly, or by force. I don't really care which you choose, though I'm hoping you decide to put up a bit of a fight for a change. It's fun seeing you struggle so futilely dear sister." He grinned, and it was full of malice and cruel intent toward's me as he threw me against a tree.
I braced for the impact...but it never came. I was startled instead by a squishy, warm body behind me that was oddly familiar… "Now now, I will have no fighting you two! Nor will I stand by while someone goes and hurts one of my student's." I could hear Korosenei giggle after his little speech. "Now, may I ask who exactly you are? You seem to know Anne-San rather well in order to be calling her your sister, though the tone of your voice and your actions seem to differ from that name."
"What's it to you pal? She's out of your jurisdiction now, so I suggest you get lost." He flicked his wrist, and a blue aura ball flicked out at Korosensei's head above me, which Korosensei flicked away without a second thought, making it hit a tree which now had a giant hole in it.
"I beg to differ. She is my student and my friend. I will not have any hooligan such as yourself hurting her." His tone had grown far more serious and dark.
"If you insist on keeping me from my job, then I'm afraid I'm going to have to remove you by force…" A swirl of blue surrounded the boy and he vanished into thin air, startling me into a shocked surprise as Korosensei was suddenly flung to the side and through a tree.
"Oh! That was a surprise. You caught me off guard there kiddo." Korosensei giggled as he stood back up, brushing off his uniform quickly of any dust or debris.
"Huh, you're tougher than you look. What a surprise...not."
"Larkin...how did you...no...leave him out of this! I will go with you, but please...from what I have just seen…I don't want to see my friend killed by you. Please, leave him be...I don't want to fight this…" I was shaking as I realized what this new ability of his meant...he had completed his training. Korosensei,..as powerful as he is...there is no chance he could survive or even win in a fight against my brother Larkin.
"Glad to see you have seen reason, little sister. Now let's go, everyone is waiting for you." Larkin moved in front of me, about to teleport us back home.
"Anne! What on Earth do you think you are doing?!" Korosensei seemed flustered and surprised by my outburst.
"Protecting you and everyone else. Do not come for me this time. I've made my decision and that is final. I, Anne Silverstar of the royal family of the Daigara's, will have nothing to do with you, or the other E Class student's ever again. I've stayed away for far too long...I don't have time to deal with your gibberish nonsense! You are not my friend, and never will be. If you so much as come anywhere near me or my family again, I will kill you myself." I didn't turn to look at him, so he couldn't see the tear's streaming down my face. "Let us leave, brother, I am done playing games with this child."
Larkin nodded and set his hands on my shoulder's, the world distorting around us as we teleported. I sighed when everything finally came into focus again and saw that I was in a cell in the prison, Larkin was standing across the bars from me in the hallway. "You did the right thing sister, cutting off any ties like that was a good effort, they didn't deserve to be around you anyway's. After all, once this entire farce and Tribunal is over, you'll be welcomed back into the family once again. Welcome home, sister. We all missed you."
"Yeah...it's...good to be home…" I sighed, watching as he disappeared once again. I wandered over to the rather comfortable bed and flopped face first onto it. "I...I'm sorry...Korosensei…."
