Chachamaru went to open the door.
" Oh, Hello. I'm Megumi, Princess of the Cloud Kingdom. " the veiled girl bowed to the robot.
" Welcome to Mahora Academy Princess Megumi, please enter, my master is waiting for you inside. " Chachamaru bowed after she stepped aside to let her guest come in.
' Master?... ' Megumi thought as she saw two girls sitting at the table in front of her.
" Nice to meet you Princess of the Cloud Kindgom. I'm Evangeline, the host of this house. " the lady vampire introduced herself from her seat.
Chachamaru led the princess to sit at the table.
" Ah, you're here Setsuna-san? Did I interrupt something? " the blond-hair princess asked with shyness.
' I can't believe I'm still confused when I look at her…I have to get used to it! ' she thought as she sat.
" Hello Princess Megumi. Don't worry you're not bothering us, we were just talking friendly. " the dark-hair girl greeted her with a bow.
" What brings you here Princess of the Cloud? " Evangeline asked while she asked her maid robot to pour another cup of tea.
" Ah…well…I was just walking around to visit the city and, after few hours, I ended up in the wood where I found your house. " the princess said before thanking Chachamaru for the tea.
" Walking alone? Isn't it dangerous for you? Where's your bodyguard? " the vampire asked as she looked in the kitchen direction.
" Um, as Jima-san was busy, I didn't want to bother him to walk around with me. " the princess took a sip.
" Busy? The main job of a bodyguard is to stay by his charge, right Setsuna? " the small kid glanced at the hanyou.
" Yes…it's true. " Setsuna answered quietly. After what she heard earlier, her mind was also too busy to focus on the discussion. However the subject started to get her attention.
" Hm…I don't really know my bodyguard for long, he was picked two days before my departure. So I feel uncomfortable to ask him to stay with me all the time. "
" Is that so?...I wonder what he was so busy with that he denied his main job. " Evangeline eyed her, which made the princess to feel disturbed.
Deep in her heart, Setsuna trusted Emiko. And deep in her mind, she knew if her childhood friend loved her, it meant she was not to get suspicious on.
" Princess Megumi, when we talked together yesterday morning with Asuna-san, you told us the World Tree is famous at your home, right? And it was special to you…why is that? " the samurai girl decided to continue the interrogation. She needed answers now.
Evangeline smirked at Setsuna's behaviour.
' Exactly what I expected from her. ' she ordered another tea.
" hmm…It is told in our country that the World Tree is magic. There are rumours that say it can heal any kind of injury, and mostly that it's a door to the past and future. But some say it's a door to other dimensions. " the princess giggled as she was just saying what rumours say.
" And what do you think? " the kendo girl asked seriously. She didn't even try to hide her feelings.
" I think…It may be true or it may be not. But one thing is sure, it's the biggest and prettier tree I ever saw. The rumours also say that sometimes it shines, I wonder if it's true… " the princess placed her finger on her chin, making the 'I'm thinking' pose.
" But why is it so special to you? " Setsuna asked again. She needed to be sure she wasn't a part of the plan.
As she took her role seriously, Evangeline didn't bother to ask any more questions. She got up to walk at the toilet direction.
" Um…Well…because Emi-chan told me once she was born from that Tree. "
The small vampire slipped and fell on the ground as Setsuna's head fell to hit on the table.
' What kind of joke is that! ' both the swordwoman and vampire thought hard.
" Ah master, are you alright? " Chachamaru ran to her side.
" Ngh…I'm fine stupid robot… " the small kid said as she tried to get up.
" Ah Setsuna-san! Is your head okay? I heard a big sound at the hit. " the veiled princess got up to her side.
" Ah, I'm fine I'm fine… " the half-demon giggled as she rubbed her forehead.
PLOUF
A sound of something thrown in water was heard by everyone in the main room.
" What was that? Is there someone else? " the princesss asked softly.
" No there's no one else beside us! It's…it is um, Evangeline's cat! Yes, she has a big fat cat that loves taking shower hehe…wonder why they say cats hate water! " Setsuna spoke nonsenses so the princess would let it go, but she sweat-dropped at what she saw.
" A cat! Really? Oh I wanna see him! I love cat! " the veiled princess said with stars in her eyes.
Evangeline sent a 'Nicely done' glare at the kendo girl who hid her head with shame, before walking in the toilet. This time for sure.
" I'm sorry, he's really ugly to see, fat and mean and stinky. So, I don't allow anyone to see him. Please leave him alone. " the small vampire said before closing the door.
The princess blinked.
" Eh…why…? " her face showed disapointment.
" Um, It's almost time for me to go, come on princess Megumi, I'll escort you to your room. Evangeline-san must be tired from our talk, we will come back another day. " Setsuna forced the princess to exit the house.
Chachamaru bowed to them as the door closed behind.
Emiko got out from the kitchen.
" I'm sorry… " she sighed heavily.
" I wanted to eat something but it slipped through my hand when I was above the sink- "
" -After what the princess said I suppose! " Evangeline said as she walked out of the restroom.
She walked closer to the dark-hair girl.
" So you were born from the World Tree huh? Like a bee? " the small blond-hair girl smirked at her.
" S-shut up about it. And it wasn't exactly a lie. " Emiko looked at the window to watch her sweet angel walking with her princess.
" I don't know how and why you do that. " the small vampire waved at her so she would follow her upstairs.
" Do what? " Emiko glanced a last time at them, and turned back to walk behind the blond kid.
" Chachamaru, go prep dinner. For two. " the blue-eyes girl sighed at the word two.
They both reached Evangeline's room. The latter closed the door, and locked it.
clik
" Um…how long exactly will it take? I'd like to go home soon. " Emiko turned back to face her.
" After what you asked me to do today, I planned on keeping you with me tonight. " the lady vampire said as she walked towards her.
" Then, at least turn into your adult appearance so I could get some fun too. " the raven girl smiled seductively at her.
" Fine. " and the small vampire turned into her real sexy adult vampire body.
" I knew you would fall for me. " Emiko said looking deeply into her eyes.
She suddenly felt pushed on the big bed behind her, and a naked vampire woman straddled her.
" Hmph, why would I fall for someone who can't even be honest with the two women she loves the most? " Evangeline reached for her cheek to look at her.
" Even if you really have…perfectly beautiful eyes… " but the previous sentence made Emiko to look down.
Although she was staring at a bare chest with huge breasts that usually arouse her, she wasn't paying attention to it now.
" I didn't lie, it's true. There are things they just don't need to know. " the dark-hair girl said as she closed her eyes.
" Why? I understand for the princess of the Cloud, but why do you act this way with Setsuna? After all, she is supposed to be hated by you. " Evangeline brought her face closer to Emiko's face in order to catch the blue eyes she also felt attract to.
" You don't know anything. I owe her my life. We grew up like sisters. And I know how much she has suffered for being cursed. She already looks down on herself, so much now that she doesn't know what love is because she never loved herself. " Emiko stared back at the vampire.
" If I were to tell her the truth…that our clan was attacked because they wanted to kill her…that the reason why the Cloud kingdom tried to use the gate was because they didn't only want to control the demon world but mostly because after they found out one of their people got involved with a demon, they wanted to kill the child…If I say that…she will think it's all her fault, that everyone, my parents, my friends, her mother…were all killed because of her. "
Evangeline shot her brows at the change of the eye color before her.
" I will never let her feel this way. She's not cursed, but blessed. She is not to be banished, but protected. " Emiko frowned darkly with her red eyes, at the woman above her.
" hmph…Your eyes are really something. I understand now the meaning of your clan's name. " the blond woman put her hands around Emiko's face and forced her to lay completely.
" Don't tell her about what you told me, I beg you. "
" It will cost more than a night. "
" Deal. "
Evangeline raised herself to look at the demon below her.
" I'll say this just once. She's more than lucky to have you. "
Emiko smirked.
" That's my job, as a family. "
The vampire wet her lips.
" Unbutton your shirt. "
" Yes, yes… "
And the blond-hair woman bent to her neck.
' Please have faith in you…you are more than wonderful. '
Back at the dorms…
Konoka walked around to get a look at this so special sign.
And found it.
And turned red.
And turned white.
And turned dark.
She walked with heavy steps to the culprit room.
" Ah safe! The 10 darkest secret news of the 1-A class! I knew I saved it somewhere, in case something like before happened! " Asakura exclaimed.
" You sure know how to keep important news! Well, let me see… "
BOUM
" Whaa! What's this time! " the paparazzi turned back.
" Ohh! Konoka!...Konoka…? " she started to sweat a lot.
" Hey, this time you better use your card or we screwed!...Haruna!...Haruna? "
She looked at her right. She heard a small "Adeat" and some paper sounds.
" As a ku ra… " Konoka walked with smoky steps like her girlfriend did.
" L-let me explain, Haruna gave me the news and, she said she would pay me if I did it so…Haruna are you done? "
The journalist girl heard a " Fly Birdy! " and watched her friend flew away on a big eagle, as if it was the first time Haruna took her flight.
' Eh? '
" Nooooooo ! "
