Ball tournaments are troublesome
Its been about a week since Sera-tan left. Currently I'm in my bed with Asia-chan and Koneko-chan. Koneko-chan stays most nights here now, Asia-chan just practically lives in my room now. Not that I mind, as its very nice having Asia-chan next to me. For the past week, since discovering my Sacred Gears ability, I've been testing it out with Buchou, who was more than happy to help me.
Like I thought it would, it takes stamina to use its sealing ability. If I had to venture a guess, it takes about 1/4 of my stamina to seal these attacks but that could be due to me not having high amount of stamina. Once sealed, I've tried adding the sealed power to my own attacks, damn it nearly destroyed the old school building, but it was a little tiring. I have also discovered how to restore stamina, yes with that kind of power, I'm becoming something of a support type. I aim to Master this Sacred Gear of mine!
"...Ngh..."
Asia-chan makes a cute noise while asleep. Koneko-chan is also making cute noises. Hehe, I feel so lucky right now. In bed with two girls is ok with me!
In time, Asia-chan wakes up first, with a smile on. I'm glad Asia-chan is smiling the way she is. I hope it never becomes a sad smile. She doesn't suit sadness anyway. Sadness, has no meaning here with Asia-chan.
"Good morning Asia-chan!"
"Makoto-san..."
She again smiles in my direction, it makes me feel happy. It also makes me blush slightly.
"Y-Yes?"
"I...umm...I like...being here with you."
My heart skipped a beat then. She likes being here with me. That's so kind, its really nice of her to say that to me. She actually wants to be with...here with me?
"I like being with you also, Asia-chan."
Asia-chan, she then holds my hand and interlocks our fingers. What is she doing? She wants to hold my hand?
"I'm happy."
"Me too. I'm happy Asia-chan, that I know you."
"Hehehe. Makoto-san likes me then?"
What a strange question. She should know I do. I like Asia-chan very much.
"Of course I like you. I like you very much."
"I-Is that so? T-Then um..."
"Hm? Something you want to say?"
I ask her as I put on my glasses. I notice my familiar Bari-kun sleeping in his little bed. For now, he can sleep here, but when he grows up, he wont be staying here. He is cute, I must admit that I got a cute familiar. But, ever since that day, the mothers soul hasn't talked to me, no matter how hard I've tried. She just wont respond. Maybe she is resting or something. Speaking of Bari-kun, he doesn't really like Koneko-chan and freaks out whenever she is near him, I don't really understand it myself.
"W-Well...when...Serafall-sama...does ummm, when she...k-k-kisses...you, do you like it?"
She wants to know if I like kissing Sera-tan? Well, isn't that obvious? I like it very much! It means she likes me a lot. I don't know if she loves me, but I do know she likes me or she wouldn't kiss me, would she?
"Y-Yes I like it. Why?"
She blushes bright red and looks away. Hm? It seems like she wanted to say more, but didn't. Well, I guess if she wants to tell me, then she can. Pretty soon, Koneko-chan wakes up and we three get dressed. Once we are dressed, we head downstairs where Aniki, the ape...Buchou, Raynare-san and Tou-chan and Kaa-chan are.
Breakfast is already out. So Asia-chan and I sit next to one another, Koneko-chan opts to sit on my lap. I would freak out more, but she has been doing it everyday for the past week, well even before that actually. We then start eating the meal.
"Oh my, so Rias-san can make delicious Japanese food as well."
"Thank you, Otou-sama. I have already been living in Japan for a while, so I learned quite a bit of cooking."
Buchou cooked this meal? It is actually nice. Not what I expected from her actually, considering she is...Buchou. Aniki, starts shoveling the food down. Buchou gives him a disappointed look.
"Ise, there's more, so eat in a calmly manner."
"Y-Yes Buchou..."
Seriously, he eats like a pig sometimes. Its a little funny, but a little disgraceful, but he is Aniki at the end of the day.
"Makoto-san, open up please."
I do as Asia-chan asks and she puts some food in my mouth. Apparently, this is one of the duties Sera-tan left to Asia-chan and Koneko-chan. For the past week, they have been taking it in turns to feed me. I'm not complaining, if two cute girls want to feed me then, that's perfectly fine with me!
"Oh, I forgot to mention this to you Ise, Makoto. Today the club members are coming here."
Buchou said they are coming here? All that's needed is Yuuto-senpai and Akeno-senpai. Everyone else is here from the club. Koneko-chan doesn't live here but she does stay most nights now, since the previous week actually.
"The whole old school building is getting a cleaning. They asked the cleaners to clean it."
Yeah, your familiar Buchou. Buchou then bowed her head to our parents.
"I'm very sorry Otou-sama, Okaa-sama."
"That's all right Rias-san. I heard that you are taking good care of Ise. I'm also happy that Ise has more female friends. We don't need to worry about Makoto, has he already has three girlfriends!"
Tou-chan flashed me a smile while doing the thumps up sign as Kaa-chan said that. Seriously, they aren't my girlfriends. Asia-chan, Koneko-chan and Sera-tan are...well, I don't know. Really good friends, best friends of mine...maybe even closer than that.
"She's right. I like Matsuda-kun and Motohama-kun, but I think it's also important to have a friend who plays safe. You can't enjoy youth by staying in your room and talking about naughty stuff. Here that Ise!? Be good, learn from Makoto! He doesn't do naughty things like that."
"That's right Otou-san. Matsuda-kun and Motohama-kun are good boys but they have lewd eyes. Well, they are lecherous students, so its obvious that they are a bad influence for Ise and especially on Makoto, who is so innocent. And since Asia-san, Raynare-san and Rias-san are living here now, I don't want them to enter this house anymore. The girls will get stained."
Hehe, I'm innocent. So, Aniki's friends can't come here anymore, that's probably for the best. Yes it is so for the best. For them calling her Raynare-san, we couldn't use Yuuma Amano as that would be a dead giveaway, as Aniki told our parents about Raynare-san. Then again, their minds could've been wiped from that time, it happened to Aniki's pervy friends, so isn't it a reasonable guess that they had their memories erased also?
So like that, we all eat our breakfast and head for a productive day at school! Yes a productive day at school! More lessons and everything!
...The school day wasn't that entertaining. We did the usual class stuff and right now, we are in the living room and Kaa-chan, has brought out the album of when Aniki and I was children!
"And this one is Makoto's first day of grade school, look how he hides behind Ise. Isn't it adorable?"
Uwah! She is showing things from our past! Aniki and I cry to one another! This is very embarrassing!
"Ara ara. Look, its Ise-kun and Mako-kun naked at the beach."
""You can't look Akeno-san/senpai!""
We both desperately say!
"...Mako-kun's naked past."
Koneko-chan said from my lap! She can't look! She definitely can't look at my embarrassing past like that with those eyes of hers! Uwah!
"Stop looking!"
She smirks at me as she continues to look at the pictures.
"So that's mini Master and Ise? Haha, look how shy you are Master~ Nothing has changed actually."
I glare at Raynare-san. She means my shyness and height, doesn't she!?
"...Small Ise."
"...Small Makoto-san."
Buchou and Asia-chan said as their cheeks turn bright red while they chanted about Aniki and I.
"...Ise as a child, Ise as a child, Ise as a child..."
"...Makoto-san as a child, Makoto-san as a child, Makoto-san as a child..."
They are both Shotacon's! Look at them looking at the photos of us as children. They then look at one another and grasp each others hands tightly.
"I know how you feel Buchou-san."
"I'm so glad someone understands me."
I sweatdrop and Aniki notices that Yuuto-senpai is looking at a photo album so he tries to grab the photo album, but he makes a swift movement and dodges Aniki's attempts to grab the album. I don't really see anything much wrong with it.
Since Yuuto-senpai is next to me, I take a look at what he is looking at with surprised eyes...that's Iri-chan! Aah, I've not really seen her in a long time. Look at her, she was a little tom boy, but back then...I had the hugest...crush on her. I don't know if she ever reciprocated those feelings. She went to England, yes but...what's that sword...no...this feeling...I've...this is a feeling...my body knows...
"...Holy sword..."
Yuuto-senpai turns to me with shocked eyes.
"Makoto-kun, you know what this is?"
I nod. I don't know how I know that but, I just know what it is. I know it. It makes me...feel scared...I can't look anymore so I just look in a random direction. I don't know why, but inside, when looking at that weapon, it made me feel, frightened.
"Tell me about this weapon."
"It doesn't matter, does it?"
I quickly reply to Yuuto-senpai. I would rather change the subject. I don't know why I want to but I do.
"It matters to me, tell me."
"I said no! I'm not talking about this!"
"You will tell me what you know about this, now."
I narrow my eyes as he does to me.
"Leave me alone! What I know, and don't know isn't anyone's business other than my own!"
"...I'm sorry for being like that then, forgive me?"
He is asking for forgiveness?
"Y-Yes, I forgive you. I'm sorry also, I shouldn't of snapped. But looking at that, makes me feel, frightened. Please, don't ask why."
He nods, but it looked reluctant, he wants to question me. Everyone here, besides Kaa-chan that is, is looking a little worried. I, honestly don't know what came over me. Its just, something in that picture frightened me more than death itself. The holy sword...scares me, tremendously. And, I don't even know why. Something, inside is saying, this is...something that...I don't even know. Its saying, stay away from the weapon. I, wont think about it any longer.
So like that, club activities did what they do, but I couldn't really get into it. I just can't stop thinking about how I freaked out about seeing that weapon. I, just can't get it out of my mind.
...Its been a few days since then, and we are practicing for a ball tournament that's not to far off now. Since I'm technically apart of the Occult Research club, I'm involved also. Buchou takes it very seriously. We have to do our best, apparently. I'm more interested in the feelings I'm having at the moment. I know something is coming, and I know something will be here very soon. But, I don't know what or why I'm feeling like that.
"Here, Asia! Here I go!"
Buchou, hits the ball to Asia-chan who is trying to catch it...but it ends up going through her legs. Hehe, Asia-chan isn't really a sporty person, makes sense since she is from the church.
"Asia! If you fail to catch it, go fetch it!"
"Y-Yes!"
While Asia-chan does that, Buchou faces Yuuto-senpai who seems to be in his own little world.
"Next is Yuuto! Here!"
Buchou, she hits the ball in his direction and he makes no movement or anything to catch it. So, as expected, it hits his head.
"Kiba! Get a hold of yourself!"
Aniki yells, Yuuto-senpai looks in his direction.
"...Aah, sorry. I wasn't paying attention."
He picks up the ball and throws it to Buchou who catches it with a sigh.
"Yuuto, what's wrong? You've been acting rather strange lately. It's not like you."
"I'm sorry."
That was his only reply. He must be thinking about the Holy Swords. He has tried asking me again about it, but I can't give him any answers. I just feel like, something bad is going to happen when around them. Holy Swords, are something...I can't even think about.
"Raynare! Your turn!"
Buchou, hits the ball at Raynare-san, but she put demonic power on the ball, so when it hit Raynare-san...
"Ow! Ape! That hurt!"
"Don't you start with the ape!"
"Don't hit me with demonic power then, idiotic ape!"
Buchou slams the bat down on the ground, and makes the, bring it on hand gesture to Raynare-san. Ooh no, here we go again.
"You want some of this!?"
"Gladly!"
Buchou and Raynare-san charge at one another! They start having a little wrestling match on the floor! Heh, this is how its been, pretty much everytime they have a little argument. Again with her and Kaichou, the common denominator is, Buchou. It centres around Buchou, maybe she is the one who starts the fights.
"Bitch!"
"Fallen whore!"
Oh here we go again. They are having a fist fight now. Raynare-san makes a punch to the left, for Buchou to dodge it. Buchou, then made a punch for Raynare-san, who actually dodged it, and pushed Buchou on the floor!
"Haha, I won!"
"You got lucky! Next time, its demonic power bitch!"
Raynare-san, ignores Buchou and goes to sit down.
"Hmmmm..."
Buchou then picks up a manual and starts reading it to herself. Akeno-senpai then goes over to Aniki and starts telling him that Buchou has been reading a manual on love. Obviously, its for Aniki, but he obviously doesn't see that.
Right now, I'm just sat to the side, I don't really feel like participating anyway. For the past few days, since looking at that image, I haven't been feeling quite all there. I've been, not really been paying attention. I honest to go...Maou don't understand it at all. Phew, almost thought about...well I can't think about him anyway, it would hurt me as I'm a Devil now.
Asia-chan comes over to me and sits next to me.
"Are you ok Makoto-san? You don't look well."
She's concerned about me. Its very touching. Asia-chan is that kind of person after all, a very kind caring person.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Anyway, we are eating lunch together, tomorrow, with Kiryuu-senpai, yes?"
"Ooh yes. If you don't mind coming with me that is."
"I don't mind. If you really want me to come, then if its you, I don't mind."
Her cheeks turn crimson and...she puts her head on my shoulder...
"Are you ok Asia-chan?"
"Y-Yes, I'm fine. Practice was tough. I'm a little tired."
"Then, if you are tired, please rest your head on my shoulder."
Koneko-chan, seeing what Asia-chan is doing, comes over, sits on my lap sideways, and snuggles into my chest!
"A-Are you ok, Koneko-chan?"
"...I'm tired too...need to rest."
Koneko-chan, needs to rest? Asia-chan, gains her famous pouty face and pulls my cheek!
"Owwwww! Why are you doing that!?"
"Makoto-san! Y-You are...getting closer and closer to Koneko-chan."
Huh? I make a confused face. Getting closer to Koneko-chan. We have always been close, that's because we can relate to our respective height issues. I think I'm overdue for a growth spurt.
"Ooh Asia-chan, is it alright if I ask Reya-senpai to join us tomorrow for lunch?"
"Kusaka-senpai? I don't mind."
So with that settled, Buchou made us practice again. But again, I couldn't really get into it. I just, can't get motivated for this right now. After the practice I head home with Buchou, Raynare-san Aniki and Asia-chan. Koneko-chan decided not to come with us tonight. Once getting home we have dinner and make light conversation. After dinner, I and Asia-chan head to bed, alone.
"U-Ummmm...Makoto-san, is everything ok?"
Asia-chan questions as we get into bed, I'm not even freaked out anymore, its pretty much the norm now. I know Buchou and Aniki share a bed every night now, I think.
"I'm fine, why? Is something wrong?"
"N-Never mind."
I give her a calculating look.
"You know, there really isn't anything wrong with me. I'm just feeling a little...off. You know? So, please don't worry about me. Its my job to worry about you, after all. But, I guess I don't even need to worry about you, as you are getting on great. But, I'm still here if you need anything, so don't be afraid to ask."
"Thank you Makoto-san."
Then something unexpected happened, I feel a pressure on my cheek. Asia-chan, actually touched my cheek with her lips...I rub the spot after she had taken her lips away from my cheek, in a disbelieving fashion.
"Y-You..."
"I-I wanted to."
She said with a massive blush.
"T-Thank you, Asia-chan. It makes me feel...honoured that you would do that with me. Anyway, we should get to sleep, cuddling with me?"
"Y-Yes! Serafall-sama left this very important task up to me!"
I sweatdrop, and we then get into a cuddle position after I take off my glasses. Hehe, I'm actually cuddling a girl like Asia-chan.
"...Makoto-san I...ummm...I...l-lo...lo...like you a lot."
"I like you a lot also."
So like that, Asia-chan and I fall asleep, in one another's arms. Yeah, sleeping is good right now, time for a recharge.
...Its lunch time the next day and currently, Asia-chan, Reya-senpai and I are walking to Aniki's classroom, since Kiryuu-senpai is in the same class, we are having lunch in there. Also, since Raynare-san is in there, I can keep an eye on her, but I must admit that since she apologized for killing me, I've seen a small change in her. Its not that noticeable yet, but she is changing.
"Inviting me to lunch Makoto-tan~"
Reya-senpai chirped out. Hehe, she is really excited. Well, when I invited her this morning, she practically screamed down the phone. I was scared, but she is a friend of mine. I would've invited Koneko-chan but she said she was a little busy, when I questioned what, she didn't answer me.
"Y-Yes. I thought we could eat together, since we haven't for awhile."
"That is true. Been avoiding me?"
"N-No. Just been busy with Sera-tan work and all that. But, I'm glad we can eat lunch together now."
She nods and we continue to the classroom. We make it and head inside. Once stepping inside...the whole classroom...stops what they are doing...and looks in our direction...
[KYAAAAAAA! THE SHY PRINCE HAS GRACED US WITH HIS PRESENCE!]
All the girls in the classroom shout out! Ehehe...I'm a little scared.
"Hahaha, this is a little fun."
"Ummmm, Makoto-san why do they scream when they see you?"
Asia-chan asks a valid question, before I could reply, Aniki comes up to us, but before he could say anything, the door is violently open!
""DON'T TOUCH THE SHY PRINCE PERVERT!""
SMACK! CRASH!
Katase-senpai and Murayama-senpai punch Aniki and send him flying into the wall! Oh, shit. Aniki has been knocked out. I bet that hurt.
"Ooh, Ise-san got decked."
Reya-senpai giggled out. But then, the kendo girls notice Aniki's pervy friends looking our way...
""DON'T SULLY MAKOTO-SAMA'S EYES PERVERTS!""
Those two then deliver a swift beating with their kendo bamboo swords. Ehehe, even thought they are made of bamboo, it seems to hurt them, considerably. I then notice Raynare-san and Kiryuu-senpai laughing at the scene, they are sat together actually. Are they friends?
"Damn, that looks like it hurts. Now, Makoto-tan. You can't say I'm anything like that."
"I guess so. Wow, these eyes, feel creepy."
"Y-Yes."
Reya-senpai stuttered. These eyes, lots of eyes are on us, no on me. Lots of girls eyes are on me in a creepy way. But then, we as in Asia-chan, Reya-senpai and I sit down with Kiryuu-senpai and Raynare-san.
"Hey Asia! Having fun with your boyfriend?"
And here we go. Kiryuu-senpai is going to talk about my and Asia-chan's supposed relationship. But, Asia-chan is close enough to senpai to add san instead of senpai to her name.
"K-K-Kiryuu-san! P-Please don't t-tease me!"
"Eh? Am I wrong? You two are always together, I thought you was dating. I guess you wouldn't tell me anyway~"
"A-Auu...Kiryuu-san please!"
Ehehe, I have to tease Kiryuu-senpai. Its just something I need to do right now!
"I can't deny it any longer."
Everyone on the table turns to me. Actually, all the creepy eyes are looking at me. This isn't good. These stalkers...fans are very cunning. They have pictures of me, that I dont even know how they got.
"What, can't you deny Makoto-tan?"
Reya-senpai questions me as we start getting our bento's out.
"I have a confession. Asia-chan, and I are dating. We have been dating for awhile now."
...3...2...1...
[AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WE ARE LOSING OUR SHY PRIIIIIIIIIIIIINCE!]
Every girl in the room screams out very loudly! Asia-chan has a huge blush on her face. She is looking at me with a huge blush, but a very happy face.
"Ma-Mako...Makoto...Makoto-san...w-we are...ummmmm...we are...are we actually...Makoto-san..."
Asia-chan took it as a serious thing! Ooh no. Um, yes she is...she takes my hand in hers...she actually believes it...I thought she might...just...well, ummm...Asia-chan!
"I knew it! Hahaha, Asia and Makoto-kun~ Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"
"Uwah! Kiryuu-san no! I...Makoto-san, and I haven't...we ummmm..."
I take a little breath as I see Kiryuu-senpai making pervy comments about Asia-chan and I. But, without minding them, Raynare-san, Reya-senpai and I start eating lunch as my fans keep looking our way, I shudder as they take pictures of me. Its not like I can tell them to stop, I can barely talk to people I do know, never mind people I don't know.
"Ooh Makoto-san, I will feed you, don't worry."
Without minding me, Asia-chan takes my chop sticks and takes some rice and starts feeding me, as I blush in embarrassment. I know Sera-tan told Asia-chan to do this, but when infront of other people...it is a little embarrassing. Kiryuu-senpai smirks dirtily at me.
"Are you sure you're not together? It would only make sense. I've heard that you share bed every night, and have baths together regularly."
Asia-chan told her that!?
"K-K-Kiryuu-san! S-Stop!"
"Asia-chan is embarrassed~"
"Kiryuu-senpai, please stop teasing Asia-chan."
I say gently as I take another bite, rather Asia-chan feeds me another bite.
"Ooh just admit that Asia and you are together~"
"I will not admit anything! I'm not with anyone! I'm single! No ones interested in me anyway!"
"Oh that's not true. Look at Asia-san, she's more than interested."
Reya-senpai smiles while saying these words. I don't believe she is. No one is interested in me. I'm, the kid brother. That's how people truly see me. Maybe that's how Asia-chan sees me as, a kid brother. But, I...does she...see me as...the younger brother? I, don't even know and I guess it doesn't matter anyway, ehehe.
"I don't think so Reya-senpai."
"Ooh I'm interested in Makoto-san very much."
She's...interested? Oh, I get it, she means friends. Yes, she means friends.
"Friends, right?"
"M-M-More...than...that..."
I give her a questioning look. She doesn't seem to be teasing me, then again, I don't think Asia-chan can tease people seriously. So, she really likes me more than friends...
"W-Well anyway, we need to go to the clubroom Asia-chan, remember?"
"O-Oh yes. We need to hurry."
So, we quickly eat our meals and once saying goodbye to Reya-senpai who I had to do a selfie with, Kiryuu-senpai and Raynare-san who I said could stay, Aniki, Asia-chan and I head towards the clubroom. Along the way, we make a little small talk about the ball tournament. But while that's going on, I have a strange feeling. But, I ignore this feeling. I don't think anything about it anyway.
When we walk into the clubroom, we are greeted with a heavy atmosphere. Kaichou is here, glaring at Buchou who is glaring right back. Also, Genshirou Saji-senpai is here. I've never officially met him, but I know his basic profile from what Kaichou showed me that time, hmmmm, I'm wondering when to cash that in, actually I want more than a day, maybe I could do some negotiations with Kaichou.
"Sona..."
"Rias..."
They mumble to one another while continuing to glare harshly at one another. They then notice us.
"Ise, Asia, Makoto. Look, we have a whore...guest."
"Oh ape, don't start."
"Don't call me an ape please."
She actually said please. But then, Saji-senpai spoke up.
"You guys are getting peaceful school life because Kaichou and us, the Devil servants of Sitri, are working at daytime. It won't be bad for you to remember that, you know? By the way, my name is Saji Genshirou. I'm in second year, and I am Kaichou's Pawn."
"Oooh, the same year as me and also the same Pawn as me!"
"Actually you damaged my pride very badly. For you, one of the three pervs, to be the same Pawn as me..."
I snicker a little. Yes, Saji-senpai might feel a little bad about that. Aniki does have that kind of reputation after all.
"And what are you snickering at, Shy Prince? Yes, I know you, shorty."
I gain a tick mark, did he just call me shorty!?
"Don't call my brother shorty! Only I can do that!"
"What? No you can't! No one can! Next person to mention my height, I'm going to bite them!"
"That's not very Princely, is it?"
I glare at the ape. I am usually a timid person, but if my height is mentioned, I wont hold back!
"How can you say anything ape? You're supposed to be royalty, yet you act like a philistine."
Kaichou snorted as the others have a clueless face on. Do they not know what one is? Just think of Buchou. Other words, a boorish person, just like the ape when she is angry.
"I'm not religious!"
I and Kaichou face fault, but then start laughing. She really thinks that a philistine is a religious person?
"Ooh ape. Hahahaha, ape, hahaha..."
"Haha...Makoto-kun...haha...that...was...haha, a good one...hahaha..."
"Why the hell are you laughing!? I'm not religious! Stop it!"
We continue to laugh to one another until we are in stitches. Man this hurts but its too funny at the same time!
"Hehe...ok ape...calm down...you philistine!"
I burst out laughing at Kaichou who does the same! Buchou starts crying!
"FUCK YOU BOTH! GO AND DIE PHILISTINES!"
How can she use it when she doesn't know what it is? Kaichou and I look at one another and send secret nods. Yes, this could be a good inside joke between us both.
"Thank you very much Rias. Its very kind to say that."
"It really is. Thank you Buchou, you have made our day."
She gains a confused face. Ooh Buchou, haha. She is very confused.
"What? Does it mean something good?"
Kaichou and I again secretly look to one another, our eyes are having a little conversation.
"It does. It means, very intelligent and beautiful, or in the case of a boy, handsome."
"That's exactly right Makoto-kun."
"W-Well if that's the case, then I am a very big philistine!"
Kaichou and I again share a laugh, to the utter confusion of Buchou. If only she looked up what a philistine is. She might go insane when she finds out what one actually is.
"You're both just jealous that I'm the best philistine around!"
"You certainly are."
"No argument here."
Kaichou and I say as we try and control our snickering. But while we was laughing Saji-senpai and Aniki are having a little argument. Hmmm, can't they be friends?
"Oh? You wanna go at it? Even if I look like this, I'm a Pawn that consumed 4 pieces of Pawns. Even if I just turned into a Devil, I won't lose against someone like Hyoudou."
"Saji, stop that."
"Bu...But Kaichou!"
Kaichou sighed at Saji-senpai.
"The reason we came here is to introduce our new servants amongst fellow high class Devils where we both have this school as our base. In other words it is a meeting to introduce you and Rias' servants, Hyoudou-kun and Asia-san. If you are my servant, then don't make a shame out of me. Besides..."
Kaichou then looked at Aniki and continued.
"Saji, you can't win against Hyoudou-kun right now. He is the one who defeated the third son of the house of Phenex. Consuming 8 Pawn pieces was not just for show."
"What, 8 pieces!? Wait, this is the guy who defeated the Phenex!? For this guy to beat that Riser...I thought that it was Kiba or Himejima-senpai who rescued Rias-senpai…"
Kaichou then bowed her head to Aniki.
"I am sorry Hyoudou Issei-kun, Asia Argento-san. My servant hasn't experienced as much battles as you two, so he still has some rude attitude in him. If it's okay, can you please get along with him?"
"Hey Kaichou! What's with Hyoudou there, other Hyoudou, the Shy Prince?"
Kaichou, she smirked and pushed up her glasses.
"Makoto-kun here, is a Queen of a Maou, more specifically, Serafall Leviathan."
Why didn't she call her Onee-sama or something? Responding to that, Saji-senpai shakes my hand? He, actually shakes my hand, not what I expected.
"Its very great too meet you! Like I said before, my name is Saji Genshirou! Pleasure to meet you! Lets get along!"
Eh? From calling me a height related insult to saying nice things to me. I, am a little shocked. I thought he might snicker or something at me being a Queen. Well I'm happy he didn't snicker at me.
"Y-Yes. Its nice to meet you also. I hope we get along also. My name is Makoto Hyoudou, please call me Makoto, to differentiate from Aniki here. May I call you Genshirou-senpai?"
"Yes yes, please do!"
I smile a little but then, Aniki rips Genshirou-senpai's hand away from mine, then shakes his hand rather roughly. What's he doing?
"Hahaha! Saji-kun! Please look after me as well! Also I'll seriously fucking kill you if you lay a finger on Makoto. Ok, Saji-kun!?"
Oh my Maou! Saying that to Genshirou-senpai? That's a bit rude. But then, Genshirou-senpai grips Aniki's hand just as hard as Aniki is gripping his hand.
"Yes! Yes! Let's get along Hyoudou-kun! To have the Shy Prince all to yourself. You really are a Brute-kun! Man, I wish there was a divine punishment which falls on you! I wish you die when lightning falls on you while you are on your way home!"
That sounds a little wrong, to have me all to himself. Ehehe, I don't want to think about it. So, I take it since these people are in a little competition? Hmm, well, I'm glad I can befriend Genshirou-senpai. A new friend is a new friend and I'm happy to always make new friends.
"You must have a hard time."
"You too."
Buchou and Kaichou both made a sigh while looking at them. Well they do have troublesome Pawns it seems.
"Ummmm, could you maybe stop with the agro? Its...well, ummmm..."
This is where my shyness comes in. I learned sometime ago in our childhood, if I make a sad face, Aniki tries to cheer me up, and he kind of does what I ask if I make teary eyes.
"Y-Yeah, sorry Makoto."
"I'm also sorry, Makoto."
They both apologized to me. Hehe, I'm happy they listen to me.
"Thank you. See? You should be friends."
"Makoto-san is right. Please don't fight Ise-san, Saji-senpai."
Asia-chan gently says from beside me. Aniki and Genshirou-senpai smile at one another, but I can tell that it is a strained smile and they still have somewhat narrowed eyes.
"Well, I think that's enough for today. Oh ape, I will be looking forward to the ball tournament."
Buchou, picks up a glass of water, I was expecting her to take a sip...however she does something I wasn't expecting, but maybe I should've...
"AAAAAAAAPE!"
Kaichou has just had a glass of water to the face! Why would Buchou do that? She is really mental. You don't do that at all! Its wrong Buchou! Kaichou is soaked now!
"DON'T CALL ME AN AAAAAAPE!"
"Don't throw water at me then you psychopath!"
"I gave you a long overdue bath!"
She just actually said that to Kaichou! Responding to that, Kaichou summons some water and pours it all over Buchou! Ehehe, something is going to go down soon, isn't it? Now, Buchou is soaked, her clothes are actually see through a little. I can certainly see Aniki eyeing her up, I avert my gaze from Buchou.
"There you go ape, just how you are used to in the wild."
"ARGHHHHHHHH!"
Buchou lets out a howl! Wow, she really doesn't like that from Kaichou! She makes a grab for Kaichou, but she moves out of the way! Buchou, points a finger at Kaichou and looks angry.
"How many customers have you had today Sona!?"
"None ape because that's your line of work! How many whores baths have you had today?"
That's a good comeback, but also, a little mean. Then again, Buchou did imply that Kaichou has customers.
"Uwah! Doctor Penguin!"
Buchou then started releasing tears and shaking violently as Kaichou rolls her eyes. Is this Doctor Penguin, well it seems Buchou might have to go and see this Doctor Penguin for a little bit. She might need the help again.
"Oh here we go again."
"What was that!?"
"I said, here we go again ape!"
Buchou's tears are becoming more heavy as Kaichou continues to eye roll. Buchou, don't be sad. She is temperamental. She changes at the flip of a coin.
"Go and die Sona! You seriously need to leave me alone!"
"You need to stop threatening me ape. Saji, we are going from the ape."
Buchou continued to release tears. Ooh that's right, I need to talk to Kaichou! Yes I need to speak with her immediately!
"Ummm...Kaichou...can I maybe...talk with you?"
She turns to me and nods.
"S-Sure. We could talk now if you have the time?"
"W-Well, yes that's fine."
I then leave with Kaichou and Genshirou-senpai and Asia-chan who just followed me. Not that I mind, clingy jealous girl, but she is so innocent!
"So, you have something you wanted to discuss?"
"Y-Yes, remember that bet we made?"
She nods slowly as Genshirou-senpai and Asia-chan look confused.
"What about it? You want to cash it in now?"
"N-Not yet. I was thinking, could I extend the time?"
She gives me a curious look.
"To, how long?"
"I was thinking a...week? If that's fine with you?"
"Hmmmm, I don't know. Perhaps, but you would have to do something for me in return."
I nod slowly while Asia-chan wraps her arms around my neck! She is doing her usual jealousy thing, which I find so adorable.
"Anything. What would you like me to do for you?"
"W-Well, hmmmm..."
I gain a smile. I think I might have away for me to get the extra time. I remember a certain incident when we was training and Kaichou showed up. She got a little happy about seeing it, maybe she will want to see it again.
"Want me to show you, that form?"
She blushes a little. If it works on Sera-tan, it must work on Kaichou also. But, Asia-chan and Genshirou-senpai are still confused about, that form. I, haven't had the courage to tell Asia-chan or anyone else yet. It seems silly but, I just can't do it.
"S-Sure, whenever I want to see, in that week, of your choosing."
"Ok! Oh, did I say about my Sacred Gear? I found out what it does, sort of."
"R-Really? You never said, what does it do?"
I notice Genshirou-senpai's eyes on me, not in an aggressive way, more in a questioning way. Ooh I hope he doesn't, like have ago at me because of Aniki. If possible, I would like to be friends with Genshirou-senpai and the rest of the student council.
"I-It...seals things. You know, attacks and other things. But, it takes stamina to use. I don't know the name of it yet, but its thanks to my cute little familiar that I was able to learn about my Sacred Gear. I get the feeling that, my Sacred Gear can do something else, although I don't know what yet. However, I intend to figure it out."
"That's very good Makoto-kun. I heard about you getting a Ziz, correct?"
I nod at her, as I see Asia-chan pouting at me, so I pet her head a little.
"Y-Yes, his name is Bariuchne or Bari-kun for short. He's so cute, but he is going to grow into something huge!"
"Bari-kun, I would like to meet this, Bari-kun."
"Now?"
She nods a little and I summon my familiar, Bari-kun appears in my hands.
"Mama."
She turns away and I hear snickering...Genshirou-senpai is outright laughing at me!
"I hate you both."
I say with teary eyes, Asia-chan then kisses my cheek! I could get used to that!
"S-So, you are a...Mama now."
"Kaichou! That's what Bari-kun calls me! Isn't that right Bari-kun?"
"Mama~ Mama~"
My familiar has a very soothing voice. Its really soothing and calms me considerably.
"W-Well, whatever makes you happy. Nice to meet you, Bari-kun."
Bari-kun, just chirps a little and flies to the top of my head.
"Well, I have some things to do, see you later, Mama."
I glare as Kaichou and Genshirou-senpai leave. I turn to see a teary eyed Asia-chan.
"I...Is something wrong?"
"Nothing! Hehe, I'm excited for the ball tournament!"
"S-So am I, ehehe."
So I send Bari-kun back home and Asia-chan and I head back to class for a fun filled day!
...Today, is the day of the ball tournament. Everyone from the club is here, in our gym clothes, ready for what we are going to be doing today. Everyone is getting ready in their own way, well besides Yuuto-senpai and I. Buchou has gone to find out what's going on with the club matches. Even after all this time, I just can't get that...image out of my head. But, if I think about it, I even freaked out a little back then when I was younger. But, not as much as I did that time I saw the picture. Something, is telling me that...
"Hey!"
Ooh Buchou has come back. She gathers us around.
"Ufufu, we have won this match already."
"Buchou, so what is the sports we are playing then?"
"Dodgeball!"
So, we are playing dodgeball huh. Well, that's fine with me I guess. I'm not really into sports anyway, its just something that doesn't interest me. But first up is Buchou vs Kaichou in tennis then its the club matches. Heh, I hope that doesn't go...no fighting. I hope for no fighting...yes no fighting is the best. Never fight, just keep yourself safe.
"Makoto! You there? We are going."
Aniki brought me out of my thoughts it seems.
"Y-Yes. Sorry. I'm coming now."
So, we make our way to the tennis court for the Buchou vs Kaichou match! Getting to the court, I notice Kaichou is already here.
[Kyaaaaaaaaaaa! Makoto-sama is here! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaa!]
Immediately, I'm surrounded by lots of my...fangirls. Responding to the fans, Asia-chan holds my hand tightly, Koneko-chan also holds my other hand!
"Damn Bishota."
When Aniki muttered that out, all the girls glare at him with such hatred. These people are nuts. Of course, the presidents are also here, Katase-senpai and Murayama-senpai.
""Don't speak to the Prince if you know what's good for you!""
Ehehe, kendo girls are scary. Aniki backs away a little.
"You think you are going to win, eh Sona?"
"I don't think I'm going to win, I know I'm going to win ape."
Buchou's face twists in anger as they both get onto the court.
"Don't you start with the ape!"
"Whatever ape. You are going to lose!"
They glared at one another with such KI that it is making it a little hard to breathe.
"Buchouuuuuu! You can do iiiiiiiiit!"
Of course, Aniki cheered for his ape...Buchou.
"Kaichouuuuu! Please wiiiiiiiiiiin!"
Kaichou's Pawn, Genshirou-senpai shouted out.
"Do your best Buchou, Kaichou!"
I shout out for them.
"You think you are going to win, do ya!? I don't think so bitch!"
"You philistine!"
Kaichou sends a smirk to me, I smile back at her.
"Thank you for the compliment Sona!"
I face palm, but Kaichou remains neutral. They then start the match! After awhile, they have been hitting balls back and forth, while swearing a lot at each other. Buchou hit a ball, Kaichou hit it back...with a little too much force.
SMACK!
"OOOOOOOOOOOOW!"
It hit Raynare-san right in the middle of her forehead. She starts producing tears as she picks up the ball and throws it at Buchou! I don't know why she is throwing it at Buchou but she is!
SMACK!
It smacks Buchou, on the butt! Instead of feeling a little pain, she smiles and for a brief second when she picked the ball up, I could see a little demonic power added to it. She then smacks it towards Raynare-san on purpose and its hits her in the head again, knocking her unconscious!
"Fuhahahaha! Take that Yuuma!"
I again face palm as Kaichou serves this time.
"Take this! Shitori style spin ball!"
The ball Kaichou had in her hand, was hit to Buchou who made a fearless smile.
"You are too naive! Take this Gremory style counter!"
Buchou tried to hit the ball, but it changed direction and went down. Heh. Kaichou used some demonic power then.
"You cheating bitch!"
"I'm not cheating ape!"
"That's it! I'm going to kill you!"
Buchou charges at Kaichou, racket in hand! Kaichou, starts running away as Buchou swings the racket violently! But, I just realized, that apart from the Devils, no one else seems bothered by this at all!
"Die!"
"Get lost ape!"
"ARGHHHHH!"
A howl came from Buchou as she closes in on Kaichou! Kaichou, then swings her own racket at Buchou! Right now, they are having a racket fight!
"APE!"
"WHORE!"
They sling insults as they swing their rackets around! Eventually, the rackets broke, so we move onto club matches...Asia-chan runs off somewhere to my utter confusion. But, we as in the Occult Research club head to where the dodgeball is being played. Raynare-san is still out, actually some people took her to the infirmary before, well it did knock her out, so it must be a bitch of a headache when she wakes up.
We get to the dodgeball area and wait for us to be called over. While waiting, I just sit down. There isn't anything...huh? Asia-chan...she is in...bloomers!? W-Why is she like that!? She rushes over to me with an excited face.
"...Why are you dressed like that?"
"…Ummm…I heard from Kiryuu-san...that the proper uniform for dodgeball is bloomers… An…And also that Makoto-san will be happy if I wore this…"
Kiryuu-senpai...why mess with Asia-chan's poor kind heart? She is the best hearted person I know yet, Kiryuu-senpai gives me a treat...gives Asia-chan some bad advice. Hmph, I know a certain something about her anyway, and if she doesn't want me to tell another certain someone then, she has to stop being a pervert.
"You don't like it?"
She looks at me shyly and spoke with a shy voice that matches her face.
"No, no. Its great Asia-chan. Aniki, are you going to hand them out?"
"Everyone! Let's put this as a team!"
What he got out was a headband, which had an embroidery Occult Research Club imprinted on it. It was handmade by Aniki. He asked me if I wanted to help, but I could only do so much before my mind wandered back to the...
Aniki then started handing them out to everyone like Buchou who praised him, also Akeno-senpai who flirted a little with him and to Koneko-chan and Asia-chan and myself. He then went to hand one to Yuuto-senpai.
"Here Kiba."
"…Ye…Yeah. Thanks."
Yuuto-senpai, still in his thoughts. It affected him a lot seeing that image huh. It also affected me, but I'm not spacing out, as much as him.
"…Let's concentrate on winning now."
"…Win, huh. Yeah…Winning is important."
Winning is important...fight to win...to survive...for...
[Members of the Occult Research club and the baseball club. Please gather at the ground.]
Ooh that's us, since we are already here, we don't really have to move much, except to the ground. When we got to the place where the dodgeball is being held, we all get into positions.
I notice that lots of people are here, even my stalkers...I mean fans. The two main stalkers...fans, the kendo girls are glaring at the opposing team. Shit, that's very scary, and I thought Reya-senpai was scary when she took the selfies? No, these girls match her in scariness.
""You hit Makoto-sama and we will seriously fucking kill you!""
Scary. Those two just threatened the opposing team. That's very scary indeed. But then, everyone started getting ready.
"We will never lose!"
Buchou declared strongly! The match, then begins!
"Aim for him! Aim for the perverted Hyoudou!"
"Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Aniki is dodging the balls, from all directions. It seems that no one else will get targeted. Buchou and Akeno-senpai are the Onee-sama's and Koneko-chan is the loli mascot. Asia-chan is the new cute girl of the 1st year, and Yuuto-senpai and I are the Princes with Yuuto-senpai being the Knightly Prince and myself being the Shy Prince. There is actually a rumour of us going around, started by our respective fanclubs.
Its creepy and weird. As if Yuuto-senpai would do that to me. Then again, there has been some questioning dialogue between us lately, well before seeing that weapon that is. I hope he cheers up soon, I like Yuuto-senpai a lot. He is a very good friend of mine, I would even say a best friend of mine.
"Die Ise!"
"Leave the Princes alone you lechery bastard!"
"Kill him! Seriously kill him!"
That's not very nice to say to him. He can be a pervert but, they can't say that to him. And that's only some of the comments. I'm going to say something to them.
"Y-You can't say that about Aniki. Please apologize at once."
I say gently to them. They hang their heads in shame.
[Sorry Ise.]
Aniki looks at me with an appreciative look.
"You're the best little bro in the world!"
He flashes me a smile with a thumps up, it makes me feel a little embarrassed so I blush and look away.
[KYAAAAAAAAAA! THE SHY PRINCE IS ACTING SO CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!]
I continue blushing a little as Aniki keeps dodging the balls. Koneko-chan then hits one of them, taking them out instantly. As they are doing that, one guy who looks a little muscular steps forward.
"Shit! I don't care whether I get hated! You damn handsome!"
They are going for Yuuto-senpai? He is still in his daze.
"Yuuto-senpai...they are going for you."
"...Aah, Makoto-kun?"
Oh Yuuto-senpai. The guy throws the ball...without thinking I quickly dash and kick the ball away from Yuuto-senpai!
SMASH!
...Oopsies, I just hit that into that guys...ehehe...he is going to be hurt down there for awhile. I didn't mean to do that, well my fans are cheering for me, creepily I might add.
"Good one Makoto! Double time everyone!"
Buchou makes a stance with a ball in hand, we then charge at the enemy and throw the balls we have! Each of us hits at least one person, besides Asia-chan and Yuuto-senpai.
[The Occult Research club wins!]
Yay we won! Everyone looks happy about it, besides again...Yuuto-senpai. We got the 1st place! We all did a team effort! We did our best! Pretty soon everyone started leaving besides us, it starts raining. Good thing it happened right after the tournament.
SLAP!
Buchou, she just slapped Yuuto-senpai. She, can't do that, can she? I don't think she should've slapped him like that.
"How is it? Did you wake up?"
I know she is angry but, she can't go around and start slapping people like that. Its not very nice.
"Are you done now? The ball tournament has finished as well. We won't be practicing anymore so can I take a rest until it's night time? I'm a bit tired so I will take a break from the usual club activity. I'm sorry for my behaviour this noon. Seems like I didn't feel well today."
"Kiba, you are really weird lately."
"It's none of your concern."
That's what Yuuto-senpai's reply was to Aniki.
"Yuuto-senpai. I'm really worried about you."
"Worried? Who worries about who? I think it's normal for Devils to live by how they want. Well, I think I'm at fault for not listening to my Master this time."
That's what his reply was to me. Aniki then speaks up.
"It's troublesome a situation like this when we are trying to form a proper group. That's how we felt after we went through that bitter experience in the previous match, remember. Don't we have to cover for each other's weak points from now on? We are comrades."
"Comrades…"
Comrades...friends...Sak...Ai...Tak...why can't I remember their names? Those people who was in my dreams. More people than that...I can't remember them...Yuuto-senpai said comrades...those people...are so familiar to me...
"Yes, comrades."
"You are always burning…Ise-kun, lately I started to remember the basic things."
"Basic?"
Remember the basics huh...
"Yeah, that's right. The reason why I am fighting."
"Isn't it for Buchou?"
"No. I'm living so I can seek my revenge. Holy sword Excalibur. Destroying that is the reason why I am living."
...Excalibur...those words strike a cord with me...Yuuto-senpai then left...I tried calling after him...but my voice didn't respond to my heart...my throat didn't make a sound.
"Lets go home."
Buchou said that, so once Raynare-san returned, everyone went to their respective homes. Once getting home, everyone went to Aniki's room where Buchou started explaining about something.
"Holy sword Project?"
Buchou nodded at Aniki's words.
"Kiba, is a survivor of that Project, isn't he?"
Raynare-san said, Buchou nodded at Raynare-san. Project...Project...
"That's right. There was a project several years ago inside the Christian Church that aimed to make those who can wield the holy sword Excalibur."
"I heard that they killed the test subjects when they couldn't wield the Excalibur, as an act of mercy, apparently."
Raynare-san is actually being helpful, and quite informative.
"Holy swords are the ultimate weapons against Devils. If we, the Devils, touch the holy sword then we will burn ourselves. If we get cut by it, then we will be terminated without a trace. It could be called the ultimate weapon for those who believe in God and see Devils as an enemy."
Buchou said with a nod of her head.
"Even though there are numerous holy swords originating from all over the world, I still think the most famous one would be Excalibur. Even in Japan, it comes up in many books. It's a holy weapon that is created through means of magic and alchemy by those who reach the territory of God. But holy swords choose their wielders. I hear that only one person in a decade or so gets chosen."
"Kiba is a Sacred Gear possessor that can create demonic swords, right? So isn't there a Sacred Gear that can create holy swords instead?"
Aniki questioned Buchou.
"Yes, its called Blade Blacksmith. But comparing those holy blades to actual ones, there's no comparison. Its the same with Yuuto-senpai's Sword Birth. Compare that to a demon sword, well there isn't any comparison. Natural holy and demon swords will always beat the Sacred Gear version."
"Makoto, you know that? How?"
Buchou questioned me.
"I read about it. And I asked Raynare-san about it sometime ago."
She nods at my answer. Raynare-san sent me a little look, she knows I lied. The reason I know about it, is because I just know about it. It just came to me out of nowhere. I sent Raynare-san a look, not to reveal anything, she nods.
"Except, at this point there isn't a Holy Sacred Gear that can compete with Excalibur, Durandal or Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi because these holy swords are too powerful. It's the same with the demonic swords."
Yep, that's certainly true, basically what I just said. Gram, try wielding...huh? What was I thinking about? Aah never mind. It doesn't matter.
"Yuuto received artificial treatment to adapt to the holy sword, particularly the Excalibur."
"So Kiba is able to use the holy swords?"
As Buchou was about to answer, words come out of my mouth.
"No. Senpai couldn't adapt to the holy sword because he didn't have enough potential, right? Lots of people died because of that experiment. Its a horrible experiment that shouldn't of been carried out, ever. Like Raynare-san said, those who couldn't wield the Excalibur was scrapped as they was defined as defective, but they also took what they wanted. Its a mortifying crime. Lots of experiments have been done in the name of the lord, but those people didn't care about the lord at all. They wanted to fulfil their own sick desires."
...I don't even know where that came from. My mouth spoke the words, but my brain didn't understand what it was saying.
"Makoto...how do you know all that? You wouldn't of read that anywhere. Could it be...no, you couldn't be a survivor of that Project also."
"No, I wasn't apart of that Project. I was...I was...I...was...I don't know. I couldn't of been apart of anything like that. I've been here for as long as I remember. I'm going to go lie down for abit, I'm sorry if I said something's weird, please disregard anything I said as nonsense."
I then leave the room before anyone could say anything and head towards my own room. This is getting confusing. I, those words...I don't even know what I was talking about. Its like something took over my body and spoke for me, I was fully aware of what was happening but I have no idea why I was saying those words. I get into my own room and collapse on my bed.
I've been weird since that picture. I seriously need to snap out of this. I can't be depressed like this when I don't even know why I'm depressed. I might upset Asia-chan, I can't confide in Sera-tan as she will be busy for awhile, I wouldn't want to worry her with my problems anyway. I wish she was here, she always makes me feel safe and secure. She always makes me feel...good about myself.
KNOCK KNOCK!
A knock at my door. Who wants to see me? Is it Asia-chan? Is it Buchou going to ask questions? I don't have any answers for her. I don't have any answers for myself, never mind anyone else.
"...Who is it?"
"Its me, are you alright?"
Aniki. He is concerned about me. He really is a good big brother. He cares about me, I was acting weird. Maybe I worried him a little. I haven't done anything like that before.
"Can I come in?"
He wants to come in? Aniki, wants to check on me.
"P-Please come in."
The door opens, Aniki comes to the bed and sits on the end.
"So, want to tell me what's going on?"
"I don't know. I don't know what's going on. I don't even know how I knew that. Its like, someone was using my body to convey that information. Aniki, I don't...knows going on with me anymore. Ever since I saw that holy sword...I got...I got scared and its like something is threatening to...come out. No, not come out, more like, resurface. I don't know what I'm supposed to do."
"You don't have to do anything. Until something comes up, don't worry about it. When something does come up, come and get me immediately."
Get Aniki...I don't want to depend on Aniki everytime I have a problem...
"B-But that would burden you..."
"No, it wouldn't. Makoto, you've been like this for as long as I remember. I can't picture you any other way. Now, you can always depend on me, I'll always be around for you, I promise."
"R-Really? Even though...new people are in our lives...you will still...care about me?"
He gains a confused look. I wish I hadn't said that now.
"What are you saying? Of course I do, you idiot!"
"Uu, I'm not an idiot. Aniki, thank you for, caring about me. I realize that you have problems, like with that Dragon arm of yours. But I'm grateful to have the best Aniki ever! But could you dial down the perverseness?"
"Never! I wouldn't be me if I wasn't perverted, would I? Like you wouldn't be you if you wasn't shy! We balance one another out. I can give you some confidence and you call tell me to stop when my perversion goes to far, yeah? Wasn't that our promise, long ago?"
He still remembers that promise?
"Y-Yes! But you best be getting back to Buchou, right? She will want to sleep with you."
He does a spit take at my words. What did I say? I only said sleep...aah I see. Yes, he took it the wrong way.
"W-We haven't done that yet!"
"Hehe, well I'm sure she is saving herself for you. Buchou likes you a lot you know? She does adore you a lot, more than she does her other servants. You must notice that, right?"
"Y-Yeah, I guess she does."
...The thing with Raynare-san still plays on his heart. I can see it. I want to help him but, I wouldn't know what to do. Maybe someday, Buchou and the other girls that like Aniki can do something. He, doesn't have to be like that now...
"You know you have your Master who adores you."
Adores me? She, is just being nice.
"I guess. But, that's because...she is just a nice person. Besides...I'm not someone...anyone would...want anyway..."
"Stop thinking like that! Just because of that time, it doesn't mean anyone wouldn't want you! Look, Asia likes you very much!"
"...Don't mention that time. And you should take your own advice. I know about something, Raynare-san. I know all about it. I'm not stupid. Raynare-san, she did a horrible thing to you. But, you shouldn't be..."
He stops me from speaking.
"Just stop. I know what you are going to say, and I'm not ready yet."
"And I'm not ready either. That time, it hurt so much. I'm not going through that again. I'm never letting myself be in that situation again. Its not worth it."
To my utter shock, he hugs me...why is he hugging me?
"You need...to go back to Buchou, right?"
"No. I need to be here right now. I want to be here with you right now. Isn't that fine? Some brotherly time? We haven't had any in awhile."
Brotherly time...yeah, I could go for some alone time with Aniki.
"Ok. Aniki I...you know...I..."
"Ugh, you're gonna say it, aren't you? Fine, even though no one knows I will say this, I love you."
"I...I...love you Aniki."
We smile at one another. Even though we aren't related, we might as well be when we are like this. We don't always show it but, we do love one another very much. Or at least, I love Aniki very much, he said he loves me also, I'm happy. He really is the best Aniki in the world, always making me feel better when I'm upset.
"Oh yeah, what are you into?"
"What am I into?"
"Yeah, female wise? I have no idea and someone asked me what you're into. So, what is it? Oppai? Butts? Certain personalities? Loli's? Bishoujo's?"
...Uwah!
"Aniki! You ruined our moment!"
"Ehehe, sorry!"
I take a breath and put on a smile.
"Its fine. Since you are you, I am happy that you are you. You will...stay with me always right? We will be living for thousands of years now, so, you will still be my Aniki forever, right?"
"Heh, you can't get rid of me that easily! I'll only stay if you promise to stay with me also. I can't imagine a life with you not in it."
"I-I will! I promise."
So that's our promise to one another, we will be brothers, for life.
AN; Next chapter will be the introduction to Irina and Xenovia! The reason Makoto knows so much about holy swords will be revealed in time and I can say that he wasn't apart of the project Yuuto was apart of. Now, I think I will genderbend Yuuto, as I like the idea very much and his girl form is hot, no denying that which will be coming into play sometime after the Excalibur arc. Also the same with Gasper. But, I haven't got a female name for Gasper, so I might just leave it as Gasper. I am still thinking about Seekvaira. I also thought about genderbending Vali, for Makoto since it would be funny if his brothers rival fell for him.
