Chapter 4

"The former Celestial Fox?" Wrath repeated. "So you were the one who caused the destruction of our kingdoms."

Pride stepped forward, ready to attack, only to be stopped by the tall man who held a metal pipe up to his chest.

"You will not attack him, da?" He said in a warning tone. "I will not allow anyone to hurt my Yao."

"Thank you, Ivan." Yao turned back to the three former rulers. "As I was about to say before someone interrupted me," He looked at Pride. "There have been many Celestial Foxes. It isn't a name, but a title. The Celestial Fox you mean is my successor."

"Wait so-"

"I was already dead when your kingdoms collapsed, though your Celestial Fox was, too. But for different reasons."

"What do you mean by that?" Sloth asked coldly. "And why should we believe you?"

"Do you really have a choice?" Yao replied. "What else are you going to do? Keep traveling country to country until you all are back together again? The thing that caused your deaths is still out there. It will just kill you again. But I can help."

"I say we trust him." Everyone turned to look at Wrath.

"But-" Sloth started.

"I've felt what our enemy can do. I used me like a puppet to kill Lust in cold blood. I don't want to be used like that again. I want Lust back safe and without this...thing hunting us."

"Then I'll trust you." Sloth said.

"And I will, too." Pride spoke up. "As long as Lust is safe, though."

"Excellent." Yao smiled. "Then follow us. I know the perfect place for us to talk in private."

The former rulers followed Yao to a building that was hidden among others.

"Seven Nights." Yao announced as he stopped in front of it.

"Why does that name sound familiar?" Pride muttered.

"It was a celebration for you seven, Francis Bonnefoy." Yao replied. "Yes, I do your human names and I recommend that you use them. Not everyone is your ally and we don't need people wondering why you are calling each other the seven deadly sins."

"Do you know the other's names?" Wrath asked hopefully.

Yao nodded. "But that's it, Ludwig. I lost most of my powers when I ceased being the Celestial Fox. You'll regain yours. I won't."

"Then why are we here?" Sloth asked. "You know their names-"

"And that was it." Yao interrupted. "I only know your human names and they won't mean anything to you." The conversation ended after that and Yao knocked on the door to the building.

"Yeah, Yeah I got it." The door opened and an Italian man opened the door. His eyes went straight towards Ludwig but just as quickly transferred to Yao.

"Lovi, who is it?" A Spanish voice asked and another man soon joined Lovi. "Oh! Celestial Fox, welcome."

"Now don't worry about, Antonio. I'm not the Celestial Fox anymore." Yao replied. "I did find three of the rulers though."

Antonio froze and stared at the three men behind Yao. "Wrath,Sloth, and Pride..."

Lovino glared at Ludwig before finally moving out of the way to let them in.

"Damn it!" Lovino cursed as soon as the rulers were out of hearing range. "Why did it have to be Wrath that was one of the first found."

"We don't know." Antonio replied. "The order is random."

"That bastard killed my sister." Lovino muttered.

"It was an accident, Lovi. He didn't mean to."

"Even if it was..." Lovino trailed off.

Antonio pulled him close. "Want some tomatoes, Lovi?"

"Fine, Tomato Bastard."
