Chapter 6

Leo was staring out the window. The first-year girls were having gym class at the time, but Leo wasn't paying attention to them. He was staring at Sanae. She was sitting under a tree, watching the girls. Leo didn't notice that the teacher was talking. "Okay, this is going to be on the next test, so make sure you memorize it. Can anyone tell me the answer to this problem? How about…" the teacher thought to himself for a moment, "Narukawa-san." Leo didn't pay attention. The teacher walked up to him, carrying his tea kettle. He coughed to get Leo's attention. Leo turned toward his teacher. "Narukawa-san, is my class really that boring?"

"Uh, not really…" replied Leo.

"Then face the front like you're supposed to!" He raised the kettle and slammed it down on Leo's head, causing everyone to wince.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was now lunch. Leo, Kyo, and Yuusuke were eating lunch while the Baka Trio stared at the girls. Thanks to the Baka Trio's 'brilliant plan' the girls were avoiding the boys. "It's like there's an invisible wall," whined Bacchi-Gu.

"The attempted infiltration of the girls' dormitories is still affecting things," explained Ichiban-Boshi.

"Of course it is you morons, it was just last night. And if it weren't for Yuusuke begging Kutsuki to let you down from that tree, you'd still be there," said Kyo. "So take my advice and don't do anything stupid."

"We won't, but that is why we are counting on Yuusuke!"

"Why me?" asked Yuusuke.

"Because of your relationship with Midori-chan, things are bound to get better!"

"That's insane!" yelled Yuusuke.

"Yuusuke-kun!" said Midori as she walked up to him.

"Ah, Midori-chan! Please, please sit," said the Baka Trio as they moved away. Midori sat down next to Yuusuke.

Tenjin then stood up, "I'm going for it." He ran off, "For my imouto-chan!"

"What was that about?" asked Leo.

"I don't know. Frankly, I've given up on trying to figure those three out. I'm going to go for a walk," said Kyo. He got up and walked away.

"I'm coming too," said Leo as he got up to join Kyo.

Sanae looked at Leo's form and blushed slightly. Kat noticed this. "So, you really do like my otouto-chan" said Kat.

Sanae smiled and blushed even more, "Hai."

Kat smirked at this.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later…

Kat was talking to Midori and Futaba. Futaba quirked an eyebrow

"You want to get Sanae and Leo together?" Futaba questioned.

"Exactly," Kat nodded. "Sanae seems to like my otouto-chan and he did say he liked Sanae."

"As a friend or more?"

"The details don't matter. What matters is that my otouto-chan likes her. Besides, don't some relationships start with friendship?"

"I agree!" Midori spoke enthusiastically. "We must unite their love!"

Futaba rolled her eyes and asked, "So, what's your plan?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leo walked into his room and sighed and then noticed an envelope on his bed. He picked it up and carefully tore it open before reading the note inside. He blinked and then with a smile walked out of the room.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sanae walked into her room and sighed deeply. 'Why can't I tell him I like him?' she thought depressingly. She then noticed an envelope on her bed. She picked it up and tore it open carefully and read it. She blushed and gasped before she had a happy smile on her face. She quickly left her room.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kat was watching from up a tree using her binoculars and grinned. Speaking into a walkie-talkie, she said, "The fish has taken the bait. I repeat; the fist has taken the bait, over."

Futaba responded from the other end, "Do you have to talk like that?"

"What? It makes it more fun. Now they're both off to meet in the garden. Operation: 'Hitch' is ready to go! Over and out!"

"Hey, Kat?" called a voice. Kat nearly fell out of the tree. Hanging upside down on the branch, she looked down to see Kyo. "Hey, what are you up to?"

Kat began to sweat nervously and said, "Nothing! Nothing at all!"

"Why is it that I don't believe you…?" asked Kyo.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leo walked into the garden and admired it with a smile on his face. "Sugoi…" He then saw Sanae running towards him. "Ah, Sanae-san!" Leo didn't hear the buzzing noise that slowly surrounded them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"How can I get Sanae-chan to fall in love with me?" Tenjin was looking through magazines, trying to find something for Sanae.

"Maybe you should give her a teddy bear," suggested Ichiban-Boshi.

"What's a teddy bear?" asked Tenjin.

Bacchi-Gu and Ichiban-Boshi fell out of their chairs at his question. "You really don't know what a teddy bear is?!" yelled Bacchi-Gu. Tenjin nodded his head.

"It's a gift that a man gives to a girl he likes. It is cute and looks like a bear."

Tenjin's face lit up. He grabbed a large chunk of wood and said, "Then I shall make Sanae-chan a teddy bear!" he began to cave the chunk of wood.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Black insectoid creatures suddenly dropped from the skies and surrounded Leo and Sanae. Sanae screamed as some of the creatures stalked towards her.

"Sanae-san!" Leo cried out as he dodged from a slash from one of the creatures. He grimaced with disgust. They all looked like humanoid roaches. With a shout of, "Fuujin!" he sent the ones blocking his way flying and ran towards Sanae. He drew his bokken and smacked a number of them away and then stood protectively in front of Sanae.

The black creatures continued to drop from the sky. They were too many for Leo to fight the way he was. He then drew out his buckle and placed it on his waist and allowed the belt to wrap around. He shouted, "RAIJIN!" and lightning bolts began striking the creatures around him and the girl. The creatures still kept coming but were then struck in the back by ice and fire arrows. Leo heard the roar of an engine and sure enough his sister, as Advent Knight Mimic, had rode into the scene. Riding on the back of the bike was Kyo.

"Henshin!" Leo shouted out and slid in the card before the buckle split open, shooting out the energy field. He ran through it and drew his sword, clad in his armor. "CHANGE SEIRYU!"

Sanae stood protectively behind Draco, Kyo and Mimic as they protected her from these creatures. No matter how many they managed to beat, more kept coming. One of them swooped from the air and grabbed Sanae. She screamed, alerting Kyo and the two Knights.

"LEO-SAN!" Sanae cried out, "HELP ME!"

"SANAE-SAN!" Draco yelled as he jumped up to grab her but even though he could control wind, he couldn't fly. His hand almost reached hers but before he could grasp it, gravity reared its ugly head, pulling him back down to Earth. "NO!"

"Damn!" cursed Kyo.

"We were too late," said Mimic sadly.

"We have to go save her! We have to go save Sanae-chan!" exclaimed Draco.

Kyo and Mimic turned to look at the Knight. "Did you just call her with 'chan'?" asked Kyo. Though they couldn't see it, they could tell that Draco was blushing under his helmet.

"H-Hai…" replied Draco. Mimic snickered at this.

"I knew it!" Mimic pulled out her walkie-talkie and screamed into it. "Operation: 'Hitch' was a success! Good job team!"

Midori yelled back in, "That's great, Kat-chan!"

"Now really isn't the time, Kat!" yelled Kyo.

"Hai, onee-chan! And what's Operation: 'Hitch'?" asked Draco.

"Tell you later!" Mimic said with a nervous look on her face which quickly shifted to determination, "We got a damsel in distress to save!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The creatures took Sanae to a cave in the forest. "So… you're the one that the little dragon likes," said a robed figure in the cave.

To say Sanae was frightened would be an understatement. She was absolutely terrified. 'P-Please, Leo-san, save me…' She then heard several loud crashes outside.

"I'm coming Sanae-chan! Get out of my way you stupid bugs!" Surprisingly enough, it was Tenjin. He ran up to Sanae. "I made this for you!" He then presented Sanae with a wooden bear that looked to be eating a fish. He was actually scaring her even more. The robed figure lifted his hand into the air. Using telekinesis he launched Tenjin backwards. "SANAE-CHAN!!!" He was then launched through a tree.

"Fool!" replied the figure. Suddenly, the sounds of a couple of motorbike engines could be heard. The figure chuckled. "So, they've arrived," he mused. The black insectoid creatures attempted to stop them but were slammed away by the bikes. The bikes pulled over and the three riders dismounted from them. Draco stood forward and drew his sword, pointing it at the robed figure.

"Let her go," Draco demanded.

"Leo-san!" Sanae cried out in joy. The robed figure scoffed.

"Come and get her," he said, summoning a sword and shield, both appearing menacing. The hilt of the sword was in the shape of a dragon's head and was black with a grey blade extending from between the 'jaws' like a tongue. The blade had jagged edges. The shield appeared menacing as well and was round with spikes all around it. This man introduced himself, "And you may call me King."

"I am the man that shall create the path of his future with the slash of his blade," Draco introduced, "Advent Knight of Seiryu! Draco! Tenzan!"

"Dark Roaches! Attack!" King commanded and the Dark Roaches did as told.

"Otouto-chan, save Sanae! We'll handle these guys!" Mimic volunteered along with Kyo as he removed his glasses.

"MIZUCHI!" Kyo cried as he destroyed a number of them with a powerful slash of his blade. Mimic backed him up by firing at them with her bow. "This'll be fun… I needed some target practice." Mimic smirked at his comment.

The robed figure, named King, glared at them but then Draco came and took Sanae by the hand from a Dark Roach holding her before slashing it in half. He took Sanae to someplace safe, behind a tree, and told her, "Hide here, be safe." Sanae nodded.

King and Draco faced each other and then the Knight of Seiryu charged. Their swords clashed as they swung at each other. Draco was smashed by the shield and then sent flying by an invisible force, slamming into a tree.

"Leo-san!" Sanae gasped.

"Daijoubu…" Draco said with a groan as he stood up. He drew his cards but then they were plucked out of his hand and into King's.

"You want these?" King challenged. "Come and get them. Your level of power right now cannot defeat me."

"But ours can," Mimic said.

"You're going down," Kyo said.

The two of them had dealt with the Dark Roaches and were going to take on King.

Draco and Kyo were the first to attack as they swung and slashed at King. He fought back with his own sword as he blocked with his shield. The shield had sparks flying off it as Mimic stood in the back, firing at King. She went to draw her cards too but they were plucked out and into King's hands before he sent Kyo and Draco flying.

King, holding the four cards, said, "Without these, you cannot hope to defeat me."

"We'll see about that!" Mimic hissed before sending ice spikes at King. King waved his hand and sent them flying back at the trio who then jumped out of the way to safety.

"RAIJIN!" Draco sent a lightning bolt at King but it was negated by an energy shield around him.

"Hmph, is that all you got?" King scoffed. "I was hoping for more of a challenge from the Knights of Seiryu and Suzaku as well as the legendary Demon Eyes Kyo."

"We'll show you!" Kyo said in anger.

The three of them dashed towards King again and struck, only for their attacks to be blocked by his shield again. He then sent them flying again with his telekinesis.

"This guy is getting on my nerves!" Mimic said angrily.

"We have to defeat him somehow," Draco said as he struggled to his feet. His helmet was slightly cracked.

"How?" Kyo asked and then saw Draco eyeing the bikes. "Okay, right! I'll get his attention!" Kyo charged towards King.

"So you are the one Nobunaga is interested in… I may just have to meet him personally. We should make a good team." Kyo roared and slashed at King, who merely blocked Kyo's attack.

"All those who side with Nobunaga are my enemy! And you really don't want to know what I do to my enemies!"

Draco said to his sister, "Onee-chan, Ikuzo!" He then mounted his bike and revved up the engine. Mimic got the idea and nodded before quickly getting on her own bike.

Kyo and King were in a stalemate, pushing against each other. No matter how many times King tried to send Kyo flying with his telekinesis, the young samurai continued to hold his ground. Each invisible hit was causing bruises to form and bones to break but he held on with fire in his eyes. King wanted to know what this boy was planning when he heard to roars of dual engines coming closer.

"KYO! NOW!" Mimic shouted and Kyo ducked as soon as Mimic and Draco, riding on their bikes, came flying down on King. The front wheels slammed into his shield, shattering it, and sending him crashing into the cave. The cards he held were on the ground just outside the entrance. He looked at the three of them as they prepared one last attack.

"FUUJIN!" Draco cried out as he sent a blast of concentrated air.

"TAKE THIS!" Mimic yelled, firing a fireball.

"MIZUCHI!" Kyo shouted.

The attacks made impact with the cave, causing it to explode and crumble down around King. He struggled to get out but the entrance of the cave was blocked as the rest of it came crashing down on him.

Leo and Kat undid their transformations and Leo went to check if Sanae was alright. "Sanae-chan, daijoubu desu ka?" he asked carefully as he extended a hand. She took it and smiled at him.

"Did you just call me 'Sanae-chan'?" she asked. Leo blushed, wishing he was back in his armor to hide it. Kat and Kyo grinned and smirked.

"H-Hai," Leo admitted and then Sanae surprised everyone, even herself, by kissing his cheek. She looked flushed but not as much as Leo who promptly fainted in response.

"LEO-KUN!" Sanae cried as she tried to shake him awake. He had a goofy smile on his face, which was still red.

"Now with that out of the way, let's get lover-boy here back to campus" suggested Kyo. He then noticed that his phone was ringing. He answered it, "Moshi Moshi…" Kyo was quite for a few minutes. "YOU'RE WHERE?!... What did you do?!" Kyo sighed. "Fine I'll be there as soon as I can…"

"Who was that?" asked Kat.

"Just a friend who needs me to go pick him up." Kyo turned his attention to the unconscious Leo. "Leo, if you don't want me to use your bike, say something…" Leo remained quiet. "Good, I'll be back in about an hour or so."

"Kyo…" warned Kat.

Kyo laughed nervously. "I'm just kidding. I'm taking the bus into town." Kyo waved to Kat and Sanae. "Take care you two."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later…

Kyo was sitting on a bus, heading back to school. Sitting next to him was a young man, roughly Kyo's age. He had long black hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a school uniform, courtesy of Kyo. "Kyo, I would…" began the teen.

Kyo glared at him. "You are not allowed to speak right now, Yukimura."

Yukimura nodded his head.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kat had asked Futaba, Mahiro and Midori to come and help them pick up Leo's bike and take an unconscious Leo back to the dorm. Futaba rode Leo's bike back while Mahiro and Midori carried the Knight back into his and Kyo's room. Kat took Sanae on her own bike and now all 5 girls were in the room, after placing Leo in bed.

"Will he be alright?" Sanae asked in concern.

"He just got a little over excited," Kat explained. "He'll be fine." Leo began to stir. "Heh, speak of the devil."

Leo sat up and rubbed his eyes, yawning. "Nani? I'm back here? What happened?"

"Sanae here smooched here and you fainted, otouto-chan," Kat answered, pointing at the blushing girl in question.

"Oh, really?" Leo said, blushing as well.

"We better give them some privacy, girls," Kat said.

"Yes, let's go!" Midori spoke in agreement.

"Hope you're alright, Leo-kun," Mahiro said.

"Just no funny stuff," Futaba said threateningly.

The 4 girls left Sanae and Leo alone. All was silent, until…

"Arigatou, Leo-kun and gomen nasai," Sanae said.

"You're welcome, Sanae-chan," Leo replied, "But why are you so sorry?"

"For getting you into this mess. If I hadn't been kidnapped then…"

Leo winced a bit and frowned. He would probably have some bruises from the fight despite his armor but said to her, "Daijoubu. It's my job to protect people."

"Ano, Leo-kun, thank you for asking me out," Sanae said with a smile.

Leo blinked. "Ask you out? But didn't you ask me out?"

"Huh?" Sanae looked confused and took out the note. "Didn't you write this?"

"But what about this?" Leo showed her a similar note.

It suddenly dawned on them.

"I think someone is trying to get us together, Sanae-chan," Leo said.

"Hai, I think so too…" Sanae said with a blush but then Leo placed a hand on her face.

"I don't think I can get really mad at them now. Sanae-chan, daisuki…"

Sanae smiled and looked almost ready to cry. "R-Really?"

"Hai, I really do like you. Maybe, you and I…can have a…" He couldn't find the words.

"A d-d-date?" He nodded. "I'd love to!" Sanae then stood up. "I…need to go. See you later, Leo-kun!"

"Hai, Sanae-chan."

Sanae opened the door and both Kat and Midori came tumbling in. Leo glared.

"Um…oops?" Kat responded.

"Onee-chan," Leo said evenly, "Please, I would like to have a word with you."

Kat gulped.

After a long talk between Leo and Kat, Kyo showed up with Yukimura. "Kyo-san am I allowed to talk yet?" asked Yukimura.

Kyo glared at him. "No! Now go sit in the corner or I'm going to have to tie you up."

"Hai, Kyo-san…" whined Yukimura.

"Kyo-san, who's this?" asked Leo.

"Good to see you up and walking around, lover-boy. And this here is Yukimura Sanada," explained Kyo. He pointed to his friend. Yukimura waved.

"So he's the guy you had to pick up," said Kat. "Where'd you pick him up from?"

"Prison," replied Kyo flatly.

"NANI?!" exclaimed Kat and Leo.

"I was framed," defended Yukimura.

"They found you, naked, chasing a truck down the freeway… How could you possibly have been framed?!" yelled Kyo. "And let's not forget you drunkenly groping the cop afterwards…" Leo and Kat stared at Yukimura.

"Before this get's any stranger, I'm getting out of here," said Kat. She got up and walked away. Yukimura stared at her butt, but Kyo smacked him in the head.

"Wait for me, onee-chan!" yelled Leo as he ran after his sister.

Kyo stared at Yukimura. He pulled out his cell phone. "Wait until Mizuki-chan hears about this…" Yukimura gulped.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leo was walking around campus. He then noticed Sanae and walked over to her.

"Ah, Sanae-chan," Leo spoke, "Hello."

Sanae blushed and nervously met his gaze, "Hello, Leo-kun."

"Would you…Ano…would you like to go on a ride with me on my bike?" he asked here.

"S-sure," Sanae said nervously, blushing.

Leo took her hand but then quickly pulled his hand back. "G-Gomen nasai!"

Both of them blushed bright red before Leo led her towards his bike.

They didn't know that Tenjin was spying on them, looking at Leo with utmost anger and jealousy.

"A bike ride, huh? Well, let's see what happens when his bike is gone!" Tenjin spoke sinisterly.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

King was slowly getting out of the rumble, green blood cascading down his wounded head. "Damn those children…" He then noticed a man standing near him. "Who are you?" questioned King.

"I am Oda Nobunaga, and I have a proposition for you…"

King smirked evilly. "I'm listening…"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Baka Trio eyed Leo's bike and held lead pipes. Tenjin grinned maliciously while Ichiban-Boshi and Bacchi-Gu looked uncertain.

"Um, Tenjin? You sure about this?" Ichiban-Boshi asked.

"This will teach Narukawa a lesson! No one goes after Sanae-chan but me!" He swung down but then was pushed back a barrier. "Huh? What?"

"I don't think it will be easy, Tenjin," Bacchi-Gu said.

"Nonsense!" Tenjin swung down but was pushed back again. He kept on swinging but the bike refused to take any damage. One last swing and he said, "Come on, guys, help me!"

Ichiban-Boshi and Bacchi-Gu sighed before they started to help but they were unable to break the bike.

"Okay, let's just steal it!" Tenjin reached for the bike but was then electrocuted.

"What are you three doing?" asked a voice. The Baka Trio turned around to see Kat. They all gulped. Kat cracked her knuckles. "Oh, this is gonna be fun…" The Baka Trio then screamed in terror.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leo and Sanae showed up to see Kat tying the Baka Trio who covered in bumps and bruises to a tree.

"What happened, onee-chan?" asked Leo.

"Oh, nothing," replied Kat innocently. "Just teaching these idiots a lesson."

"Oh, okay," Leo nodded.

"Hey, Sanae," Kat greeted.

"Hello, Kat-san," Sanae bowed.

"Hey, no need to be formal around me," Kat said and then spoke to her brother, "So, what are you two doing here?"

"I'm taking Sanae-chan out to town," Leo said as he handed Sanae a helmet.

"Oh, so you two are going to take a ride around town? Well, have fun," Kat said.

"Hai, onee-chan," Leo got on his bike and started the engine after strapping on his helmet. "Hop on, Sanae-chan."

Sanae looked at the vehicle and gulped but took Leo's gentle hand and got on the back. She wrapped her arms around his waist and thought happily, 'I am so close to Leo-kun! This is a dream come true!'

Leo revved up the engine and it roared before he sped away. Kat looked at the Baka Trio with a sadistic grin.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyo was walking around, Yukimura following him. They then noticed Mahiro, Midori, and Yuusuke. "Mahiro-chan!" screamed Yukimura. He tried to run but Kyo threw a rock at his head.

"Oh, it's you, Yukimura-san," said Mahiro.

"Who's this, Mahiro-chan?" asked Midori innocently.

"This buffoon right here is named Yukimura Sanada," replied Kyo.

"Hello, do either of you have any sake?" asked Yukimura, still on the ground.

Kyo stepped on his head, rubbing Yukimura's face into the dirt. "Sake is what got you into this mess, baka!"

"He still hasn't changed, I see" stated Mahiro.

"Hi, Yukimura-kun!" exclaimed Midori with her usual cheerfulness.

"It's nice to meet you, Sanada-san," said Yuusuke.

"What did he do now Kyo?" asked Mahiro.

"I was framed," defended Yukimura.

"I explained this to you earlier. They found you, naked, chasing a truck down the freeway… How could you possibly have been framed?!" yelled Kyo. "And let's not forget you drunkenly groping the cop afterwards…" Mahiro glared at Yukimura. "Oh… she's going to kill you," said Kyo with a chuckle.

Yukimura got up. "Can you let me get a head start?" asked Yukimura as he prepared to run.

Kyo grabbed Yukimura's shirt collar. "No." Mahiro charged at him.

"YUKIMURA!!!" She began to beat the crap out of him. "Even after I set you up with Mizuki-chan!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leo stopped his bike in front of a park and parked his motorbike before dismounting from his vehicle, helping Sanae off as well. She handed him the extra helmet, securing both items to a bike.

"I really enjoyed the ride, Leo-kun." Sanae spoke shyly.

"Arigatou, Sanae-chan," he said with a smile. "What do you want to do now, Sanae-chan?" Leo asked.

"Oh, I don't know," she said, shaking her head slightly.

"How about we go get some ice cream?" Leo suggested. Sanae smiled widely.

"Hai!"

Both teens went to get some ice cream. They bought their cones, both chocolate flavor and enjoying them as they walked around town.

"It's so nice here," Leo said to her.

"Where did you live before?" Sanae asked. Leo frowned. "Was it something I said."

"Ah, no," he shook his head. "It's just that, okaasan always travels a lot and I come along with her. I was taught by private tutors my okaasan hired up until now."

"That must've been lonely," Sanae said sympathetically.

"Hai, it was. I was able to make a lot of good friends though. I still communicate with them through letters and e-mail. What about you?"

"Well, I was always very weak and sick," Sanae said, coughing a bit. "That's actually why I came up to this school. The doctors said it would be good for my health. I have actually felt stronger lately."

"Want to sit down, Sanae-chan?" he asked.

"Hai."

Both of them were now sitting on a bench. Sanae swallowed a pill and was back to normal. "Gomen nasai, Leo-kun. I don't have that much stamina."

"Daijoubu," he assured her. "It's not your fault." Leo then saw a small Toy Shop. "Let me get you something, Sanae-chan."

"What is it?"

"Do you trust me?" he asked.

"Hai, I do," she nodded.

"Okay, then follow me."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sun began to set and both Leo and Sane watched it.

"It's so beautiful…" Sanae fawned.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later…Sanae returned to her dorm room, holding a teddy bear. It had soft blue fur and a heart shape on it. She hugged it close to herself.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leo returned to his room to see Kyo tying up Yukimura. "I warned you…" said Kyo. He then turned his attention to his roommate. "Hey, Leo," said Kyo.

"Hi, Kyo-san, Sanada-san," replied Leo, bowing toward Kyo and Yukimura.

"Hello," replied Yukimura.

"So, Leo, how did your date with Sanae go?" asked Kyo.

"How did you know I was out with Sanae?" asked Leo, blushing slightly.

Kyo opened the door leading out of their room. Kat fell into the room. Kyo pointed at Kat and said, "She told me."

"Onee-chan…" groaned Leo.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elsewhere…

King and Nobunaga spoke to each other. "So that is your plan…?" questioned King.

"Correct, I just need the use of your Dark Roaches on occasion."

"I accept your proposal." King extended his hand. Nobunaga gripped it. The two demons grinned at each other.
