Heeey everyone *waves* Yeah, I know it's been too long, but I blame school ;_;
DISCLAIMER: I dont unfortunately orz"
P.S. I suck at battle scenes so be a bear for me?
"Then I have no choice." Mutsuki said even though he knew his movement would be limited since he needed to touch Anis or be summoned first before his powers can work. He put on a defensive stance as Kaede summoned his blade. Mutsuki could do nothing but defend. He dodged the red haired teen's attacks successfully, missing him just by the hair once. Ninufa had thrown him a bamboo sword he got from the gym. He trained in the ways of the sword when he was younger, but he wasn't too proficient with it. He tried to use it to fend off Kaede when he lunged at him, but the impact broke the bamboo and the blade came in contact with his left arm. He groaned and gritted his teeth in pain, but something else was wrong. Kaede's eyes were wide with horror. Mutsuki took this chance to push him back and punch him in the stomach. Hard. The younger teen dropped to his knees, holding onto his sword for support. The Black Rose smirked and tried to hit him once more, but he was stopped by the rose petals suddenly swirling around his opponent. All that's left in the Red Rose's place was the card he sought.
Anis kicked a rock on the street as she walked home. She was frustrated. Mutsuki wouldn't talk. He rarely did in the first place, and when he did, he'd just insult her, but she wished he could have at least told her why he was injured. "That jerk..." She barely knew anything about the Black Rose since he never did share anything about himself.
...and before Anis knew it, she was at the foot of the stairs that lead to the shrine. She stared at the steps with annoyance, also trying to see if they would melt if she stared at them too long, but it was no use. At some point, she'd always end up there without her even knowing it, and her thoughts were still the same: "He's with her." She sighed and retreated to her home which was still a ways away.
As soon as she entered her room, she leaned on the door and slid down, settling on the floor. "I'm tired..." ButIcan'tgiveup.Notnow.
"Surprise attacks aren't nice you know," A familiar voice said sounding rather irritated.
Anis' eyes shot open as an all too familiar person appeared in front of her. She immediately reached for her cards, but was stopped before she could kiss any of them.
She pursed her lips and went closer to Anis. "How dare you hurt Kaede! He hasn't done anything wrong—"
"Hasn't done anything wrong my ass! He was the one who attacked Mutsuki! And for your information, the only reason he did that was because of you!" The pink haired teen spat back.
Cinderella sneered and wrapped her arms around the girl's neck. "Anis, I love you," Anis froze as she felt the scythe near the nape of her neck. "But Father loves me, that's why I'm doing this." She dropped to her knees as Cinderella pulled back. "See you in school tomorrow. Bye~"
Anis pounded her fist on the floor and started sobbing. "Papa... I hate you... why did you have to make her? Wasn't I a good daughter? Wasn't I enough? Why does it have to be her? Why..."
That night, Anis tried her best to sleep, but it wouldn't come to her. When it finally did, a frightening dream came to her. She had been cornered by a dark haired teen with blood red eyes and had the same blank look he always had only it scared her this time. He had beaten the knights with no chance of recovering, but she was completely aware of what was happening. Then before she knew it, his right hand was on her neck, squeezing it tightly. "M-Mutsuki..."
Anis's eyes flew open and felt a dull pain in her chest as she shot up from her bed. She touched the place where the hand in her dream had tried to strangle her. She blinked her eyes as the tears that formed stung them. Why would Mutsuki do that? She wished her dream didn't have any significant meaning. She then lay down once more and tried to sleep, but she just lay awake as the moonlight faded.
You'll probably want to kill me now because it's so short, but I had other plans and they just didn't fit into this chapter! Well let's all hope the next one is better, alright?
Btw, if anyone thinks I need a beta reader(since my RL one is away) for this, don't hesitate to send me a PM.
Will see you in the next chapter then!
