Chapter 7 spirit of lightning's objective
Despite surviving his battle with Kage, Shido's body didn't escape damage. Kotori transformed back into Shido's cute caring little sister with her white ribbons placed back in her beautiful long hair separated them into twin tails.
"Big brother are you sure you're okay?" questioned Kotori staring at shido's bandaged and supported injury.
As a result of the encounter, Shido broke his arm along with a strain on his body due to the spiritual power he exerted.
"I'm fine don't worry about me. After all I still have to cook dinner."
"No Shido you're far too weak right now. Please let yourself recover." Said Tohka on the verge of tears.
Shido quickly surrendered realising the extent of his injury which he still had no idea why his body was so weak.
Tohka kept it a secret about what happened under orders of Kotori saying it was for the best.
"But if I can't cook tonight who will?"
"Leave it to me Shido!" Said Kannazuke appearing from out of nowhere.
"What are you scheming?" questioned Kotori back in commander mode.
"Nothing really I just figure if I cook dinner for you guys that the commander will praise me by using me as a door mat."
Kotori grew angry kicking him into the kitchen.
"If you give us food poisoning it will be castration understand?"
"Of course commanders please relax whilst I make preparations for dinner."
Back into the innocent side of Kotori, she returned to tending to Shido to be sure he doesn't over exert himself.
"Shido-san welcome home" Said Yoshino with a huge smile on her face.
"Ah Yoshino great to be home. I'm sorry I didn't call"
"It's okay I was phoned by Ratatoskr. I'm just glad you're okay." Yoshino replied.
All of a sudden, Kotori screamed as the cooker caught fire in the kitchen. Yoshino rushed over freezing the fire with the use of her power. Kotori angry now replaced her white ribbons back to black ones.
"KANNAZUKE!"
"Ahhh commander please forgive me!"
"Unforgivable!"
After a brutal beating, Kannazuke was ordered back to the Ship where he was to clean the entire space of it including all of the living quarters.
"Guess we don't have a choice. Tohka Yoshino come give me hand with cooking dinner"
"Yes Shido-san." Yoshino replied
"Shido are you sure you're okay?" Tohka questioned with a worried expression.
"I'll be okay if you both help me out. So could you please give me a hand?"
Tohka smiled in relief and helped Shido and yoshino cook dinner. Hopefully things would be okay for Shido from now on is what Tohka hoped for.
The next day…..
"Okay Kotori we're off to school."
"Okay big brother have a safe trip. Oh and Tohka."
Kotori leaned close to Tohka's ear and requested
"Keep my brother safe. I'm counting on you."
"Of course Kotori leave him to me." Seeing Shido back on his feet relieved Tohka.
As they were en route to school, Shido's best friend Tonomachi Hiroto came to greet the pair of them. Placing his hand upon his shoulder.
"Yo Shido walking with Tohka to school again you lucky dog" All of a sudden, Shido groaned as his eyes changed from his usual colour to a luxurious golden colour.
"Shido what's wrong!" Tohka caught Shido as he almost fell to his knees.
"Shido are you okay?"Hiroto asked.
"I'm fine just still recovering from this fever." Shido said not knowing himself what was wrong with him either.
"He's okay Tonomachi-san you go on ahead I'll take care of Shido." Tohka reassured him as she helped Shido back up.
Shido and Tohka talked after Tonomachi ran on ahead.
"Are you sure you're okay to go back to school Shido? You don't look so good?" Tohka questioned a huge look of concern upon her face.
"Of course Tohka. Why? Don't you want me to go to school with you?" Shido replied.
"That's not it at all don't think that for a second! It's just I'm worried about you. If something were to happen to you I don't know what I would-"Tohka was interrupted when Shido stroked her pretty amethyst hair a look of surprise on her face.
"Don't worry I'm okay now."
What's wrong with me? I feel so weak and my head hurts so much I can't concentrate in class. Shido thought to himself trying to concentrate.
All of a sudden, Shido's head was erupted with immense pain his eyes glowing gold. After screaming out in pain, Shido collapsed alarming everyone in the classroom. "Teacher allow me to take him to the infirmary." Said a girl in the classroom.
"Oh yes please do miss Tokisaki " The revealed student had long beautiful cascading black hair covering one of her eyes only revealing one ruby eye. Being absent for about a month she suddenly returned back to school. Kurumi hooked Shido's arm onto her shoulder carrying him out of the classroom.
Meanwhile, Tohka is doing her stretch exercises with the other girls in her P.E. class.
"What's wrong Tohka? You have been spacing out for a while now." Tohka looked up to see her classmate Ai yamabuki.
"No I'm fine it's just Shido" Tohka started to tear up being hugged by the famous trio in her class Mai hazakura, Ai yamabuki and Mii Fujibakama.
"What's wrong did you have a fight?"
"Don't worry we're here for you!"
"He's so lame"
"No you have got it all wrong. I'm just worried about him."
"oh you're so cute Tohka!"
"Shido is a lucky guy!"
Tohka blushed but her expression quickly changed after she overheard two girls conversing.
"Did you hear about the boy in class 2-2? He just collapsed."
"Yeah I think his name was Itsuka Shido."
Tohka's eyes shot wide open especially after hearing who took Shido to the infirmary. Shortly after she ran out of the gymnasium.
Elsewhere,.
"Hmmmm Shido I don't what it is but, you're giving off a very nice sense of power."
Kurumi licked her lips as she trailed her finger along his cheek.
"And there is no one around to interrupt my meal." Kurumi chuckled as she flicked her hair revealing her golden eye a clock embedded inside in place of her pupil.
"Zafkiel!" all of a sudden, a ginourmous clock animated into the room. Kurumi materialised her flintlock pistol positioning it near Shido's head.
Before the gun had a chance to get any closer, Kurumi's wrist was grabbed with tremendous force.
"Oh ho so you're interested in my power? Angel of time?"
Kurumi stared in awe at those golden luminous eyes.
"Impossible it's you isn't it? Daetra Sama!"
"I'm impressed you remember me owner of Zafkiel. However, I'm afraid I don't have time to play with you. After numerous times of trying to take over this human's body and conscious, I have finally succeeded. And now I can complete my mission and destroy the most cursed existence in this world! Phantom"
Kurumi was sent off the infirmary bed into the nearest wall after an aftermath of Takamiya's aura.
"I am going to destroy that spirit and prevent him from making anymore suffering in this world!" In a blinding light, Takamiya shot straight through the open window at magnificent speed.
"Shido? Shido? What did you do to Shido Tokisaki san?"
"Shido isn't himself anymore. He's been possessed by the most ancient spirit there is."
"You don't mean?"
"Yes Takamiya Daetra has returned."
Meanwhile origami the white haired maiden had her armour equipped and spotted the possessed Shido through her face mask.
"Was that Shido just now? I could have sworn I detected spiritual life force from him. It can't be!"
