twinSlayer is back! Hi! It's me again.
I've been busy completing some assignments so forgive me as I don't update this story sooner. It was just, too much pressure from the homeworks. -_-
So, this is the thirteenth chapter right? :D Never thought I would last this long. Thanks for the supports guys! *flying kisses*
And hence, I present to you, The's Tale: The Strategy! Enjoy!
(Oh, and I don't own Fairy Tail. Bear that in mind)
"What is the name again?"
"Guerilla technique."
"Gorilla technique?"
"Gue-ril-la technique", he pronounces the word one by one with a bit mouth protrusion at the sound 'gue'. Reika nods, signaling she has understood.
"So what with this Gue-ril-la?", she repeats the way Hibiki pronounced it just now (protruding mouth), earning her a look from him saying 'you-mocking-me'?
Snapping his fingers, an Archive screen complete with the map of Cahynn's mansion shows up. The layout plan of the building is a blueprint, but still can be analyzed by him.
"We will break in through the west gate of the mansion. I need you to draw the guards there to a place further away from it. There, I will give you more commands. But you need to stay alert all the time, because we have only three exact minutes to clean those up and dash away immediately through the North Gate. About the slaves, one of us will guide them to the promised place. That's what a guerilla technique is."
Lost, she raises her right hand. He sweatdrops. "This isn't some class for you to do that to ask."
"Why the mansion?"
He explains, "As you have known, Cahynn stores most of the victims there as his slaves. So we need to save them first before we can destroy this town for good."
"Who would carry out that task?"
"Good question. I know you like to go all out in missions so….", he smirks. Reika's face lit up.
"Yay! Thanks! I love you!", she hugs him with joy. He smiles. "Say that again."
Realizing the word she had used, she pulls back. "You're really a cunning fox."
"I take that as a compliment."
KABLAM!
Dusts flew everywhere, making the guards' sight not in full capacity. "Oy, what's wrong out there?", one of them from the inside of the building shouts.
They quickly scan the area, being on guard as any assaults may occur anytime. Waiting for about a minute, they lower their guard as no signs of hazardous activity is being detected. "Nothing. Maybe just some scientist playing with their newly found element of chemical or so." They giggle.
Hibiki and Reika crept surreptitiously into the mansion while controlling their steps. He is on the lead and Reika follows him close behind.
"Someone's coming", he whispers. They panic for a moment, finding a good place to hide, or at least to camouflage. As they found nowhere to disappear their body for a while, Hibiki comes up with a good idea.
The guard slowly walks to the three-way junction. He bends him path to the right and he thought he saw a shadow moving at a fast speed behind him. He turns around. There is no one there. He starts to grow some goosebumps.
Actually, Hibiki and Reika is at the left road when the guard chooses to go to the right. They swiftly ran to the path where the guard had came before, leaning against the wall where the guard cannot see them directly. Their heartbeats rise as the guard's heavy footsteps comes nearing them.
On the other hand, the guard had started to become suspicious about the shadow. He tries to glance back to his previous path from his now-standing position and….
He saw no one. Sneering, he proceeds back his paused duty.
Hibiki presses her boobs with his arm. She stares at him, venomously.
"Is this really necessary?", she whispers.
"Don't blame me. We will get caught if I don't repress it. It was in the guard's line of sight."
Pushing Hibiki's arm away from her boobs, she stands straight and says, "You owe me an explanation."
"Easy", he paces further into the building, "Ever heard of Blind Spots?" She 'ooh'ed as she follows him into the darkness of the path.
They dart to the West gate as fast as they could.
"You're lucky that I don't have the mood of killing someone right now." He gulps. His act wasn't redundant at least.
"Okay, now you'll go and be the center of attention for the guards at the gate there. I will collect the slaves in here and escape afterwards. I'll PM you if I had finished my job."
She nods. Running outside of the mansion, she unintentionally be a magnet to the guards there. Yeah, they are all men , remember?
(Note: This is the telepathy's sentences, and this is the usual talking's font.)
-Okay, Reika. You've arrived?-
"Yeah. Just now."
-Good. Now, to defeat that many guards, maybe you could use your charm as a weapon.-
"My charm?"
She walks towards the crowded place. It is flooded with the guards who came to see the intruder.
-Yeah, charm! Don't you have any?-
"Well, I've never used it but I'll try."
The guards are anticipating something interesting as she is about to speak. A bunch of pervs they are…-_-
"Hey, douchebags!", she yells. Hearing that through his telepathy, Hibiki, who are rescuing the slaves, stops for a while and hits his head a few times at a nearby wall. He messages back to Reika.
-Hey, Baka! That's not charm, that's an insult!-
"Oh yeah? Well, I guess I suck at that", she laughs nervously as her 'charm' is working oppositely. The guards starts to come towards Reika with a face says 'I'm-ticked-off'.
"What gives you, whore?", says one of them with a vein popping out at his forehead.
-Great, now they are pissed.-
"Now what?", she starts to sweat. "Come on, Hibiki. I'm cornered here."
Hibiki sighs. -Just go on a rampage-, he replies, doesn't care anymore about what's gonna happen next.
Reika's palms starts to glow some magic circles. "Now that's my charm", she grins evilly towards the guards.
Water whip!
The guards are thrown backwards as Reika's magic water elongates and whips them hard at any part that gets in contact with it. Then, she starts to change the whip to…
Water Slasher!
Slamming hard her palms on the ground, numerous water glaciers come out, splashing the guards from beneath. Some of them are also being sent flying to the sky and ended up at random places.
Changing her hand gestures, she held out her hands outside and screams-
Aqua gun!
Numbers of fast-speed droplets of water shot out to the guards, finishing about half of them. Several guards are also trying to escape.
-Hey! You're done?-
"Not yet. There are still many of them."
-Shit. We won't make it in time if they are too many! We have only 30 seconds left before their reinforcement squad come.-
Hearing that, she smirks really evilly. "Hey Hibiki. Just get going. I'll catch up later in-", she thinks a bit before continuing, "- 10 seconds."
Her hand stops from shooting out bullets. She relaxes her muscles for a while before she starts to concentrate on her magic onto her palm. Her eyes focuses on the center of the crowd and her palms are raised to the air. When she felt that the magic power is sufficient enough, she shot a fierce look at the spot and bellows-
Water Strike: PANDEMONIUM!
Abundant of water out of nowhere came crashing the ground together with the guards, washing them along like a tsunami. Then, her palms dash forward, aiming to the focused place.
EXPLODE!
While they are busy screaming and wailing getting washed out by the flood, a spot at the center explodes and it spreads to the guards. Waves of the aftermath flow to the outside of the mansion. There, the guards are lying pathetically, some of them had even passed out. Some are coughing out swallowed water and faints afterwards. She smiles.
"Hibiki, job's done."
"How are we supposed to hide them all?", she asks while escaping. They have met back at the North Gate earlier.
"Ichiya-senpai had sent the Christina over to fetch them. They'll ride it to get down there, out of this town. This city is mobile remember?", he retorts while running as fast as he could to catch up with the slaves upfront.
Although she had heard about that in the first place, she still went all blue-faced and nausea. Her pace slows down as she is about to vomit. Hibiki, realizing about her situation, pleads to her almost immediately.
"Please Reika not now please just get running don't slow down okay I won't say about it again just please don't stop running!", without any fullstops, he endlessly persuades her. He leans to her to flow out some strength and she finally make it back up again.
"Don't say anything about that ever again", she weakly says in ordering tone. He nods vigorously. "Yes ma'am!"
The slaves had safely aboard the Christina and are coming down to the ground with ease. Reika and Hibiki are still standing at the spot where the magic bomber departs.
"Is there something wrong, Reika?"
Her face looks serious. "I think we forgot about another victim."
They look at each other in the windy, pitch black night. He snaps his fingers, "That shop asisstant!"
She crept into the shop very quietly and clambers to the second floor. There, she can see in the dim light of the streets, a figure of the shop assistant. She is sleeping soundly like a baby, making it hard for Reika to wake her up silently. The assistant yawns and rubs her eyes, still feeling sleepy.
"Hi, Ayumi."
She wonders, who is this gruff-voiced stranger that knows her name? She opens her eyes wider to see-
-Reika kneeling in front of her, smiling. "Let's get out of here", Reika pulls gently her thin arms. She resists for a while and asks in a low voice, "What are you doing here? Go away! The shopkeeper will kill you if he knew there's a marauder in his shop!"
"And I'm not going anywhere without taking you along. If he's about to shred me to pieces, so be it. I just want to get you away from this town."
Yeah guys. Reika and Ayumi Snowfillya, the shop assistant, had created a close bond when she had helped Reika in finding her (first) bra in the previous chapter. Feeling a responsibility to save her from this ridiculous town, she had promised to herself to save Ayumi later.
"Reika…"
"Now, get going!"
"I don't know such pretty goddess exist on the Earthland", says a certain flirt.
"Oh, thanks", Ayumi smiles, not knowing how to reply. "You're not that bad-looking either."
Reika shot a glare to Hibiki. "What?", he looks at her, "Don't tell me you're jealous."
She snickers. "As if I want to be jealous about that. I just wanna see how she's doing."
"Reika", interrupts Ayumi, "Is this abandoned building safe?"
Just now, they said they wanted to rescue Ayumi and send her to the escapees together, only to realize that the Christina didn't come back. Hence, they suggested on staying a night together with them in the building Reika had been living since the beginning.
"No worries, princess", he convinces her, "We had spent the last two nights here, and not to mention without some proper cloth-"
DUSH!
"Yeah. There's nothing to worry about, Ayumi", Reika smiles after punching his face square. Hibiki squats down, clenching his teeth as his jaw is stinging with pain.
"Is he okay?", Ayumi sweatdrops.
"Naahh….He's gonna be fine", Reika answers, "That's what he deserves anyway."
While fighting with the throbbing pain, he spots something crawling at the floor. He focuses more and more on the moving object and…..
"Aaaaahhhh!", he stands up back really quickly, hugging Reika (again). "B-B-Bu-…."
"What the hell? Hibiki!", she is shocked too when he suddenly hugs her from the back. He hides his face in her jacket, shivering a little. "What's the matter with you?!"
"Bug~", he whines. His index finger points out to a direction where a black bug is seen crawling calmly. They freeze. So?
"What's with the bug?", Ayumi asks with a weird face.
Reika sighs. "Can't you see?", she says, "He is not really into things like bugs." She comforts herself in his hug and tries to calm him down. "You don't have to be that scared. It's not like the bug is gonna fly to you and-"
"Don't say anything more about BUGS", he lifts his face quickly to have his say and puts his face back in her jacket. "Waaa….Someone just throw away that creature already~"
Reika glances at Ayumi with eyes full of hope. "Ayumi", she pleads.
Ayumi turns to face her and sighs. "You're immobile, you wanna say?"
Reika gives her a puppy eyes. "Please~"
"Fine", she walks towards the so-called daunting bug and picks it up before throwing it out of the window. "It's settled."
Hibiki looks at Ayumi and at the previous bug's spot. It is not there anymore. He sighs of relief. Only then, he realized he is hugging his beloved in his muscular arms.
"You can let me go now…", demands Reika. But, Hibiki smirks. "Sorry. You're too comfy to let go." He hugs her waist from the back and puts his chin on her right shoulder.
Ayumi that is watching the scene starts to grow some speculations. "Oy Reika, you didn't tell me that you have a husband", she smiles slyly.
"He's not!", she denies to the depth of her heart. "He is just a perv. A BIG perv."
"Honey, I'm hurt", he cries. Reika smacks his arm lightly. "I've told you not to call me that."
Of course, anyone who saw that would eventually label them as a married couple. Well, Ayumi is one of them. "Reika, you llllllllllliiiiiiiike him", while forming an amused smile, she covers her smiling lips with her palm.
"Don't just stand there Ayumi, help me!", she speaks. Hibiki tightens his embrace and leans his head at Reika's temple. "No one would ever take her away from me", he spouts with a childish tone.
"Hibiki, you sounded drunk!", she tries to pull herself out of the hug, but seemingly Hibiki is really holding her tight. Although she's strong, looks like it is still unrivaled with a man's power. Ayumi starts to walk away, "I don't want to butt in your sweet moments, so I'll leave~".
"Ayumi, wait!", she stretches out her right hand to grab Ayumi but ends up holding nothing. Ayumi has happily walked away, leaving her and Hibiki alone in that room.
…..
…..
….
….
….
They went silent for a few moments.
"Wife huh?", he says all of a sudden. Reika turns to face him, but not her body (because he is still holding her tight).
"I like that title", he smiles towards her. Reika stares at him. His words just now sounded natural, not charlatan, like what he always do when he flirts. And she likes the sound of that, because it shows his matured and fatherly side.
The moonlight shone through their room, giving the romantic essence in the atmosphere. They look at each other with meaningful gaze and he starts to lean forward. His eyes becomes half-lidded as he starts to come closer and closer when-
"-Sorry to interrupt but where's the bathroom?"
He quickly pulls back and releases her. "Ah..Emmm…It's at the right of the junction over there." He points out the direction. His left hand scratches his neck, sheepishly.
"Sorry! I'm really sorry to just barge in during your romantic times but I really need to use a toilet", she apologizes several times. "Did I ruined something?"
"Just go to the toilet already", Reika answers. Her voice sounds displeased. "Okay, sorry again~", her voice fades as she shouts the words while running to the toilet. It seems like she really needs to use a toilet really badly.
The two went silent again. "I-I'll go to bed first", he walks out. Reika, who are now alone in the empty room, revises back her feelings. She feels warm all over her face. No, it's not just warm, it's….Hot! Her face is burning! -Maybe this is what people call 'blushing'?-
Then, her hands move to her beating chest. It is pounding really fast!
-God, what's wrong with me?-
Aaaannndd CUT! Okay, guys. This chapter ends here. Not I'm ending the story, just the chapter….-_-
So how was it? XD I really enjoyed writing this fic! ESPECIALLY cheesy and mushy times :3 Hahahaha…
I know some will start to throw things at me as I butt in Ayumi before they could…..you know. But fear not, this scene will be replayed later! Just wait!
