Well, here is my next chapter, I hope you'll like it :)

Chapter 2: Darkness

„Ah, this is the best" Asuka happily said while enjoying herself in a hot bath with closed eyes.

„Indeed!" Black rabbit agreed with a face that looked like it was melting. It was a great feeling, warm water let her relax and forget about all the things. Nothing mattered, there was just a comfortable and satisfying pleasure. Then the silence has been broken once again by the same person:

„Kasukabe-san, are you sure pets are allowed here?" a long-haired brunette doubtfully mentioned as she saw her friend cuddling with Calico cat.

„I don't know" was all she said. „But I won't let Calico cat into water, don't worry" You assured as she whispered something to the cat. And so they started a conversation about various things that had nothing in common.

„Leticia-sama, why did you insisted on going to hot springs?" Black rabbit asked out of curiousity and stared at a vampire.

„Yeah, is there any particular reason you wanted to go here? Not that it wasn't a good idea" Asuka joined.

The small blond just stayed quiet and then finally replied: „I just wanted to talk to you about something in private" and put on a serious face.

„Is something wrong? Did anything happen during your trip?" the blue-haired started panicking. The vampire denied it and continued: „I didn't want to talk about it before boys. That's why I wanted to go to this place. Only girls are here"

„Well, does that mean it's a girl matter?" The authoritative one wondered. Leticia nodded and with a reluctant voice said: I-I might have fallen in love..."

Everyone was just staring at her. Are my ears tricking me? was in their mind. That Leticia, the pure-blood vampire, was in love with someone?!

"Wait, are you serious?!" Asuka tried to asked with a amused voice.

A tiny girl nodded and let everyone sink into a awkward silence...

Silence

„It's so hot" a simple complain escaped Izayoi's mouth and proved that he was rather annoyed. That teen never liked hot springs, actually he tried to avoid them as muh as possible. Then why the heck didn't I decline?! he scolded himself. He didn't find this heat, hot steam and humidity soothing nor comfortable like other ones did. „It's so damn hot here!"

„Well, that's not suprising, Izayoi-san. We are at hot springs after all" the young boy, Jin, reminded him. „Izayoi-san, do you by any chance hate heat?"

„Hm? Yeah, probably" the blond answered and gazed at the sky full of stars. It was a nice sight. At least it is open-aired here he thought. Then he directed his attention at a tiny one: „Hey, I'm kinda scared you're gonna drown yourself with that small body of yours"

A sign of embarrassment was seen in 'No name's' master's face. It apparently meant: You. Are. Small.

"You don't have to worry about that, I'm not that short" he snapped a little angrily and stared at the teen with those big eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, sorry!" he chuckled and apologized to the child. Then he leaned his head on a wall and fixed his view at the sky, again. It was uncomfortable, he just wanted to get out, but something didn't let him. Maybe his own laziness?

"Izayoi-san?" Jin started a conversation. "Do you think that our community will get its name and flag back?" he asked rather concerned and looked at a purple-eyed one.

The latter stayed silent for a while, his reaction was getting kind of slow. The blond sighted and finally answered: "Of course it will!" then his voice softened and fell silent. "We will get the name, flag and pride back. We will defeat the demon lord and no one will get hurt" he assured the cute child next to him. This is wierd he said to himself. why is everything so dull?

"But the only strength we have are you, Kudou-san, Kasukabe-san and Black rabbit, whereas the other guilds have many other powerful members. Not to mention their leaders have to be much more experienced and stronger than I am... I'm really worried. We are still very vulnerable and they can destroy us if they decide to" Jin added.

"Wrong." Izayoi simply said. "Even though Kasukabe, Ojou, Black rabbit and me are the only ones who can take part in Gift games, we are strong, stronger than a mere community." he stayed quiet for a while and studied every single bright thing in the endless and dark sky. "Kasukabe is capable of many things, she can be a great spy or someone who would tell us about things outside, an observer, since she can speak with animals. Her physical strength is also remarkable, right? Even though she doesn't speak too much, she thinks a lot. She always consider her words and perfectly understand people's mind. Kasukabe is friendly and loyal. Her mind doesn't allow her to lie or be dishonest, so you can always trust her.
Asuka can be very motivational and, as her gift shows, authoritative. She is also quite experienced in battle and strategies and have a very... interesting aura around her that tells you 'everything is possible'. She may not be as strong as Kasukabe but with that commanding gift of hers she can get us informations, manipulate with an enemy and also influence stuffs like plants and animals. That girl is very passionate if it comes to missions or tasks and makes you feel at ease.
And you already know what kind of person Black rabbit is. She never lets you down, does her best and fight for what she believes. She is powerful and reliable and respon...sible" he finished his statement.

Izayoi felt strange, his senses were getting unnaturally dull, every word Jin right now said was echoing in his head without him even knowing what they meant. The teen started to realize that his friend was calling his name... but why? Slowly and slowly without his knowledge the stars were blurring and his view was darker and darker. The languorous blond felt something or someone shaking with him and saw some mixture of colors before him.

Strange he though. I'm sleepy and tired.

His eyes felt heavy and something odd forced him to close them. He lost control of the body and let the darkness swallow him.

Good night

AND? Izayoi died! No, just kidding XD So I managed to write another chapter, I think it's a little more interesting than the first one, right? If there is anything you don't or do like, please review :) I'd like to hear your opinion. Well, see ya in next chapter! :)
