On with the story...
"Ayano, this is our chance to blow her vision. She is summoning a major tornado right now, use all your strenght to use an attack with the crimson flame at her. That will create a huge explosion and all of us should be able to escape. While Eliz won't see anything. Don't worry about her sensing anyone. I will make all of us invisible to her. It will take my a lot of strenght, but it's worth it and I am going to recover till the next time we fight her." Kazuma ordered Ayano in a very serious tone.
Ayano felt pressured. If she failed she would be blamed for not being able to save them.
"I..I can't do this Kazuma!" The red head protested.
"You can do it Ayano! Believe in yourself!"
"What if I fail!"
"Idiot girl! Why does the heir of the Kannagi say something like this? Please Ayano, hurry that sleazy girl will be done soon." Kazuma assured her with a loving smile as he run a hand down her cheek. It made her tremble. She so wished she could just cuddle him right now. But there were to many things she had to worry about now..
"You jerk! Of course I won't fail!" She said while holding up enraiha. She closed her eyes to summon the crimson flame. Ren, Kazuma, Izumi and Daiki looked at the young Kannagi expectant as her body started to cover in the crimson flame.
"Take this!" Eliz yelled as she sent the tornado moving towards the group.
"How about you get some manners, midget?" Ayano yelled back as she realesed all of her power to create the explosion as Kazuma ordered.
"Huh? Is this the famous crimson flame? It makes me happy that you finally decided to get serious! I enjoy serious fights you know...However..something like that won't have any effect on Erwin Leszaar's first born daughter!"
As the two attacks met, a huge explosion was created, just like Kazuma predicted.
"Now is our chance, Izumi, Daiki, escape with the car as fast as possible. Ayano, Ren and me will fly. We will meet at Kannazuki street where my apartment is. You remember it right Daiki?"
"Yes I do. See you guys there."
"Let's hurry." Kazuma ordered as he pressed Ayano and Ren against his well built body and flew into the sky with them.
"I am really glad we were able to get away alive..." Ayano sighed with relief.
"Yeah..." Ren replied, still thinking of a way to liberate Eliz's mind.
Kazuma realized the tension in Ayano and tried to comfort her once again.
"Ayano. Trust me. We will avenge your dads, my dads and Kirika's dead soon. Just be patient. I had to wait for 2 years until I could pay my greatest enemy Erwin Leszaar back for what he took from me. So please try to be patient Ayano. I promise we will finish them off."
"Stop saying that ni-sama!" Ren yelled. It was rare for this friendly and fragile boy to get so pissed.
"I am angry at her for killing father, uncle and Kirika-san but I still think that by killing her we will only be doing the things we despise so much. As you heard she has a mother. Just image how sad her mother will be if she finds out that her beloved child was killed! Not only is that sad and inhuman, we will also have a new enemy by then. And the circle of hatred and revenge will never close. Please, ne-sama, nii-sama I understand how sad the two of you are and how much you want to punish her for what she did. But we could just try to change her- maybe we could lock her up for sometime. Wouldn't that be enough of a punishment? I will really try my best, to change her way of thinking! I swear!"
"What you are saying makes sense but it is too naive. You shouldn't even believe for a minute that anyone from the Leszaar family would be sad about someones dead."
"Well Eliz is sad about her fathers dead and that is why she holds a grudge against you and does all this!"
Kazuma was silent for a while. The kid was so damn right.
What surprised Kazuma the most was that Ayano wasn't saying anything at all. He would have expected her to completely loose it like earlier today. Perhaps she was just too weak to say anything else at this point.
"Nii-sama, Nee-sama, if we manage to quiet her down- wouldn't it be enough to lock her up somewhere for a while?"
"If you really will be able to convince her. But I will be sure to kill that monster of hers." Ayano said displeased.
"Nee-sama!"
"Ren."
"Huh? What's it nii-sama?"
"I am glad that I have a kind-hearted brother like you. You remind me of mom all the time."
"nii-sama..." Ren blushed heavily, Kazuma smiled and patted his little brothers head. Ayano still seemed somehow depressed about the new conclusion Ren offered her, but it would probably be better then creating more and more problems. If she were to kill Eliz, her mom and servants would probably go after her and people close to her. Yukari, Nanse and everyone else would be in danger. Maybe it was really possible to change the girls mind. She was still a kid after all... What worried Ayano was, what will they do if said kid won't stop? For now she thought she just had to trust Ren. Something that wasn't easy, since Eliz went nuts the last time he tried to convince her.
Ayano felt her eyelids getting heavy. She needed to rest. She was awake for 38 hours now.
They finally arrived at Kazuma's apartment. Ayano immidiately went into the bathroom to have a shower. After that, she just wanted to sleep and try to sort herself out.
"Daiki and Izumi aren't here yet." Kazuma stated worried.
"I hope nothing happened to them on the way here!" Ren burst out.
"Wait, I will call Daiki and check what's taking them so long."
Phonecall between Daiki and Kazuma
"Kazuma?"
"Daiki, where are you?"
"We will be up there in a minute. We are on the lift now."
"Okay. We will be waiting."
End of phonecall
"What were they saying?" Ren yelled with clenched fists as he stood up.
"Now, now. Calm down. They are on their way."
Ren sighed in relief and sat back down.
In the meanwhile, the broken Ayano let the hot water pour down her creamy and curvy body.
"Otou-san...I will never see him again...never...how can I forgive that girl? It's impossible..."
Ayano doubted being able to get along with Ren's plan, but she remembered something Eliz said.
"Kazuma is the one who killed my beloved Otou-sama! I will make him pay for that!"
"She actually went through the same...It is only natural that she holds such a huge grudge against Kazuma. But I wouldn't kill people around the culprit. They have nothing to do with anything. Father, uncle Genma and Kirika were completely innocent. If she wanted revenge she could have just killed off Kazuma." Ayano thought as she realized that the brat was actually damn right evil.
"Father...please tell me what to do!" Ayano cried as she didn't know what to believe in anymore. Her father was someone she could always rely on. Whenever she needed advice she would ask him. He was very intelligent, vise, calm, strong and caring. Thinking of all that just made her more sad. She started to slowly slip down until she sat at the showers ground. She cried and cried and cried.
After Daiki and Izumi arrived, Kazuma offered them some tea and told them to rest for a while. He then realized how long Ayano had been under the shower already and went into the bathroom to check on her.
"Ayano, is everything alright?" Kazuma asked. And then he saw the fragile little figure sitting on the floor crying to get her father back. That view hurt Kazuma a lot.
"Ayano. Calm down." He said as he carried her bridal style. His clothes were all wet but he did not care.
"I wil always be there for you. Don't keep your sadness to yourself. If you want to cry, cry. I will be there for you. Okay?"
He wiped her tears away and kissed her wet forehead.
Ayano just nodded and let the man she loved carry her on his bed. He dried her up with a towel. Seeing her naked body made feelings wield up inside him. But now wasn't the time for something like this. Ayano was broken. He had to ignore his urge for now.
"Get into your pyjamas and sleep for a while Ayano." Kazuma said as he throw the red head's set of pink pyjamas on the bed. Ayano finally got up and wore the clothes. While the fabric slipped over her body, Kazuma observed it carefully.
"Damn..." He thought as he pushed the thoughts away again.
"Are Izumi and Daiki here yet?"
"Yes. They are."
"Glad that they're safe."
"Let's sleep Kazuma." Ayano gestured as she already got cozy. Kazuma knew he still had to discuss things with Izumi and Daiki, but he still couldn't just leave a broken Ayano by herself. He decided to stay by her side until she fell asleep.
He got under the blanket and lay close to her. He pulled her to his body and ran his hand up and down her back. Ayano pressed her body even closer on Kazuma's and buried her head into his chest. She started to cry again. Even though he could feel her tears, she was happy that he didn't get to see that pathetic crying face of her again.
"I love you Ayano." He whispered and kissed her head over and over again.
Ayano's tears stopped falling, and she looked up at him.
"I am truly blessed to have him by my side. I am sure that I can overcome all this with him by my side." She thought as she kissed his neck and quietly replied
"I love you too..."
So this chap was kind of a filler but I hope you like the fluff between AyanoxKazuma. Next chap will be more action!
