Chapter 2:
Noriko walked away by hearing that name and went into the forest.
The rest made tents out of leaves and trees and made a campfire.
They all sat around it as Kura began to tell her story.
"Noriko has a reason to be like this.. her mother got killed by Luthorian who is her father, but also mine.
She was only six years old when her mother passed away, and her entire race.
Luthorian had cast a curse on her, thats why he thinks she is dead.
Anyways, she was found with her cat ears and tail, she was still devoloping as a druid.
The man who found her sold her as a cat slave.
Many people visited the man who had bought her and she was used several times.
Luckily I found her and I bought her back from them, using her as my pet so nobody would notice.
She told me years later who she really was... "
Kura gazed into the fire with an empty look.
"We spent so long without each other but.. she changed a lot these days.. its like I dont even know who she is anymore." Kura sighed deeply.
The four looked surprised at Kura while the succubus of the young warlock started to laugh.
"Thats just so pathetic! I knew that little cat person had something pathetic over her!" the succubus kept on laughing.
Suddenly Noriko jumped out of the bushes and kicked the succubus to the ground.
While she was laying down Noriko jumped on her and snarled.
"You should know you place before I kill you." Noriko hissed between her teeth.
Cadren ran up to them, smacked Noriko off the succubus and protected her.
"Hands off her Noriko." he said while looking angry at her.
Noriko growled and then walks off, hissing words between her teeth.
The succubus clinged onto the young warlock as they sat down again.
Soon they hear trees falling down with large sounds.
The four jumped up but Kura hushed them.
"Dont worry, Noriko is just letting her anger go."she said while smiling.
Soon Noriko arrived back at the camp, covered in sweat drops on her face and red head of exercise.
She sat down and ate some meat as she looked them in the eyes.
"Tomorrow we are going to visit my old friend, Tamao. Be nice to her." she said.
They all went into their tents after dinner and fell asleep soon..
The next day the four saw a delicious meal and fire ready , along with a smiling Kura and an emotionless Noriko.
While eating Noriko stayed quiet while Kura chatted with them.
After breakfast they broke their tents up and put the fire out.
Noriko went straight ahead on the road as they stopped at a big tree with a huge nest in it.
Noriko made a little bird sound and waited.
"Treat her nice.. or else." she hissed between her teeth.
An enormous green bird flew down and landed right in front of Noriko.
"Good morning, Tamao." Noriko smiled softly.
The bird nodded with her head as a greeting before speaking.
"What is it you seek here? " She asked.
"We need a ride, if that suits you." Noriko answered.
The big bird looked closely at them , and then nodded.
"Very well, since I trust you."
The bird made a long call through the forest and some hippogryphs flew towards them.
Noriko changed into a big black bird as Kura jumped on her back.
The others got on the backs of the hippogryphs.
Soon they flew up to the ancient city in the sky: Gakuen, which meant : Heaven.
While landing, Kura jumped off Noriko as Noriko flew away.
The others looked wondering at Kura but she just smiled.
"Just wait and pay attention. " She said.
A few minutes later Noriko came and landed, transforming back into a human.
Usani saw that Noriko had a chain cut into her arm, a fresh wound.
Suddenly a few dragons appeared, all having some sort of dark sign on their left shoulder.
They had with them, another dragon, without a mark.
Noriko talked to the dragon in their own language as the dragon seemed to agree with the words she spoke.
She layed her hand on the same spot as where the others had their sign.
"Requim Dark Mark." she spoke.
The Dark Pact Mark showed up on the left shoulder of the dragon as well.
The chain gained a little piece, pushing itself in Noriko's flesh.
Blood drips on the floor during the process while Noriko doesn't even twitch and thanks the dragon.
The dragons nod their heads and fly away.
"Noriko.. you're bleeding.. doesn't it hurt? " Usani asked.
"No it doesn't , blood needs to be spilled while forming a pact. Since I'm the one forming the pact, my blood needs to be spilled." Noriko answered.
Usani looked at Noriko with eyes filled with tears.
Noriko simply ignored it and kept on walking, annoyed by the succubus clinging to the young warlock.
"Haha Delusion stop it!" He laughed.
Delusion just kept on clinging on to him.
Noriko's eyes saddened as she looked at them, at HER boyfriend from the earthen World.
They decided to stay in Gakuen for a while, resting and supplying food for their journey.
Noriko stayed in a bad mood, Sato was grumpy about his height, Usani was talking to Shader and Delusion and Cadren were getting closer each time.
Kura laughed evil at them, they would be in for a big surprise soon.
