Chapter 7:
Alesha rushed back to her dorm, not even stopping for anything else. She ran all the way there. When she went in, she noticed that Shiori was still awake. She was leaning on the kitchen counter, stirring a mug of hot chocolate, while lightly sipping it and watching some nature documentary on TV... She yawned, obviously getting sleepy.
"What are you still doing up?" The fairy halted in her tracks. She was actually hoping her roommate would be asleep.
"N-nothing... Just watching a little TV. Why?"
"I need some space. Any way you could just... Go for a while?"
"What? But w-why?" The rose-eyed valkyrie blinked in confusion.
"Because I need the room. I need to be... To be alone. Yeah." Alesha's expression suddenly changed from pleading to annoyed. "I really just want to be alone. I'm sorry to ask, but... Isn't there somewhere you could go for a while?"
"Oh, uhh... S-sure. Just let me get my stu-"
"There's no time!" To her surprise, her roommate was kicking her out. The fairy stuck a twenty dollar bill in her hand. "Just take this and get whatever you need for the night and- Just, just go... Come back later, okay?"
"H-how much l-later should I come back...?"
The pink fairy actually shoved her toward the door in a comical fashion. Thankfully she was still dressed in a striped sweater and denim shorts. If she'd been ready for bed, this would have been really awkward.
"Any time, just get out of here. Come back tomorrow!"
"T-tomorrow, but-"
Alesha closed the door. She didn't lock it behind her though, since she knew Shiori wouldn't be back tonight. The girl was too shy for her own good. Panting, she clicked off the TV and sat down on the sofa.
She'd decided she wanted some space and, thankfully, she'd gotten it. Eventually, she found the will to move and she got up from the couch and went to change out of her school clothes... Grabbing an old faded pink T-shirt that was at least three sizes too big, she had it on in no time. It would be a lot more comfortable. Since she was planning to be alone for the rest of the night, she figured appearances didn't really matter that much.
She jumped. There was a knock at the door. She crossed the room and opened it, assuming her roommate actually had nowhere to go and had come back.
"I thought you were going t-" Alesha gasped the moment she saw who it was. "Sabo!"
"That's right," He gazed down at her with accusing eyes. "Who did you think it was?"
"Shiori. I was thinking she'd come bac- Nevermind. What are you doing here?"
The dragon leaned against her, pinning her against the counter. She pushed him away awkwardly, trying not to give in to temptation. She didn't know what to do. They'd just done some really intense things in the heat of the moment, and she needed some time to clear her head. Alesha wasn't thinking clearly. She couldn't afford to make any rash decisions right now.
"You have to go... I need some time to think."
"There's just one problem."
"Oh?" She glanced around nervously, trying to figure out some way to call for help without him knowing. "And what is that?"
"You've caused a huge problem for me," He took hold of her hand and placed it on his member. He was already hard again. "I've already had a taste... And now I want more!"
Sabo growled the words, as he stared down his prey wickedly. Before she could do anything, he was biting her neck, his fangs boring down into her skin. He was marking her! It felt good but scary at the same time, and Alesha noticed that it felt weird. Her skin kind of tingled in the spot where his teeth had bitten down.
"You're mine now... You belong to me."
"Sabo, no, I-"
When he was done with that, he took her lips. Sabo moaned desperately into the kiss, showing how much he wanted her by grinding on her again. Alesha tried to pry him off, but the fearsome dragon was too much for her. At this point, she wasn't entirely sure that she really wanted him off of her, but she just wanted a minute to decide. Too bad he wasn't relenting at all. He was only making things worse, causing her to want him even more.
He was no longer hesitating; not pausing in his actions at all... He touched her everywhere, spun her like a ballerina, manipulated her like a ragdoll, seized control of her entire body. He dipped her down low and swept her back into his arms. She was facing away from him and he reached up to caress her breasts, taking each one into his hands and squeezing them rhythmically.
"What do you want?" Alesha pleaded with him, her own voice sounding so far away... "What is it that you want from me?"
"I want to live out my fantasies with you..." He whispered "I want you, Alesha... I always have. I've been waiting... Getting to know you better, so I could finally make my move. So I could finally show you how much you mean to me."
She let out a small whimper, unable to help herself. The chemistry between them was just too much. She'd become overwhelmed with the sexual tension. It was driving her just as crazy as he was.
He bucked his hips against her from behind, but then she turned around. The fairy slowly backed away from him every time she could. Sabo continued to advance on her every step of the way. There was fear in her eyes, but he seemed to be blind to it. He was ruthless, insatiable...
"I've had only a taste..." He licked her lower lip, threatening to bite her. "And now I want more... I want it all!"
Alesha fell back onto her bed. He towered over her, and she hid under the weight of his shadow, unsure of what to do. Only a dim light in the kitchen was still on, the room barely lit. She could make out some semblance of a smile on his face. She saw him remove his pants. He was in only his boxers now. His spiked tail swished back and forth, cutting through the chill night air.
"Please stop this... I can't."
"You can. And we will."
Sabo had taken a moment to unbutton the many buttons that trailed down his expensive shirt. He looked at her, lying there just like he'd always imagined.
"It's too good to be true..." He whispered, joining her on the bed and running his fingers through her hair. "Finally... You're mine."
Before she could protest again, Sabo locked his lips with hers in a deep kiss. She hesitated, but kissed him back, loving the feeling of butterflies it gave her. He moaned again. She lightly caressed the back of his neck, pulling him in closer. If they were going to do this, she was determined to make it meaningful. His yellow spotted wings moved around her to envelop the two of them. They made out for a while, just silently enjoying each other. They began to explore each other's bodies. He enjoyed her softness and flexibility, while she enjoyed his muscular but lithe frame.
Their legs interlocked, as he moved to lie on his side next to her. His hands played over her bare chest, having raised her shirt up from the bottom. He was delighted to see that she was only wearing a pair of panties under it and nothing else. He casually slipped them off, taking his time before tossing them into the floor.
"Were you getting ready to go to sleep?" The blonde asked, smirking.
"Leave me alone..." She whined, placing her hands down to cover herself. "I didn't even know you were coming."
"Well I'm not... Yet." He winked, as he moved down her body, until his face was level with her intimate parts. "I still have to repay the debt from earlier."
"That's not what I- Ahhh!"
Alesha gasped when she felt his tongue licked across her mound, asking for entrance. She wasn't sure what to do, so she slowly tried to push him away, but Sabo was determined... He found her center, letting one of his fingers slip into her. Her hat had fallen onto the bed, forgotten. Her antennas popped free, glowing softly and lighting her face so that he could read all of her expressions, one by one.
"You feel so soft inside..." He breathed. "Like silk."
"Mmmmm..." She couldn't help herself. The moan escaped before she could stop it.
Another breathy moan had escaped her. His only goal was to pull even more from her. His digits pistoned in and out of her, preparing her for what was next. His tongue traversed up her slit, pausing to flick her clitoris. Sabo enjoyed toying with her, making her writhe and squirm beneath him. He licked her, his tongue delving between her lips and seeking to help her find nirvana as it plundered her depths.
Completely blissed out, Alesha tangled her hands through his curly blonde locks, guiding his movements as best she could. He still had his own ideas though... And it didn't seem like he was stopping any time soon. Every time the tip of his tongue would touch a certain place between her legs, it felt amazing.
He pulled back from her labia with one last suck, staring at her and making very deliberate eye contact. Alesha wasn't sure what she should do now. That was really embarrassing. She'd been very unsure of herself lately. Now he was piercing her with his lecherous gaze, licking his lips in contemplation. They just stared at each other for a minute, a silent understanding passing between them. There was no going back now.
When he moved back up to face her on the bed, Alesha let her hands trail along his sculpted body. They slid over his chest and down his torso, to play with the waistband of his shorts. Her hand grasped his hard cock, moving up and down over the shaft. She touched him through the fabric at first, before pulling his boxers down and out of the way. Sabo took them off to allow her easier access. She began to pump him with one hand.
"Unnhh... I want you so bad..." He groaned, loving the way it felt.
"Then take me... Right here, right now... No more waiting. No more games."
Alesha didn't know what had come over her. He'd really turned her on and she was all worked up now. She wasn't even thinking about what she said, now she was just talking. And what had come out of her mouth could be nothing less than her absolute true desires... She'd just told him that she wanted him too.
And they were doing this... Really doing it. Finally.
Sabo positioned himself above her, taking her in his arms and grinding his hips against her once more, luring her into further submission. He slid into her core, feeling it pulsing around his thick member. His eyes rolled back in his head and he growled deeply, taking full possession of her. The way her wings were spread out beneath her made her look like an angel... She was more beautiful tonight than he had ever seen her.
The fairy squirmed beneath him, getting her hips into a more comfortable position. For a moment, he stopped, when she scrunched up her face like she was in pain. A moment later it was better and he was able to move again. The dragon used his broad wings as leverage to help him stay balanced. He thrust into her, before eventually grabbing one of her legs and wrapping it around his waist. She did the same with the other one, and soon they had found their own rhythm.
"Ohh, mmmm yes!" He moaned lewdly. "Fuck yeah..."
The two lovers moved together, perfectly synchronized. His hips would crash into hers, and her essence would coat his steely prick, making it feel even better.
"Ahhh... Sabo, harder... Please, nnnngh!"
He began to pick up the pace, sensing that they were both near their end. Sabo fucked her good and hard, moving in and out at an almost frightening pace. He felt her warm wet channel squeezing him like a vice, and for a moment he thought he was losing his mind.
His seed spilled into her velvet depths, and she came undone at the same time. It was like a coil deep within her snapping; finally breaking. The two called each other's names and it was divine... And then they collapsed onto one another. For some reason, Alesha wanted to laugh, but she felt like it was probably a bad idea.
"Alesha, I..."
"Before you start," She pressed a finger to his lips, stifling him. "Let me at least get dressed."
Alesha sat on the edge of the bed, and indignantly put back on her panties and pulled her shirt down around her. It seemed that Sabo was content to lie on his back in his boxers, with his arms crossed behind his head.
"Sooo..." She trailed off awkwardly. "Are you a cuddler, or...?"
"Come here," He invited her into his arms, and it was impossible to resist. He pulled her halfway onto him so that she was resting her head against his chest. "There's something I want to know..."
"If you're asking if this can happen again, I don't what to tell you. I honestly don't know. I mean, I'm not even sure if-"
"It'll happen again." Sabo seemed so sure of everything. He looked down at her with a broad smile, gently running his fingers through her hair.
"How can you be so sure?" She had one arm wrapped around his chest and he pulled her even closer, holding her.
"Because it's me and you."
"Okay, arrogant one!" She stuck her tongue out at him, giggling lightheartedly. "You seem awfully sure of yourself."
"That isn't what I meant... I mean, I know it will because you're mine. And I'm yours."
"Oh no no no... You misunderstand me, dear sir, I-"
"Be quiet you." Leaning down to her level, Sabo lightly touched his lips to hers.
"I'll forgive you..." She winked. "This time."
"Alesha..." He looked at her, suddenly very serious. "I love you."
"I... I'm not sure right now. This is all happening so fast. How can you even make sense out of it?"
The yellow dragon shuffled to one side, just enough to pull out the blanket from beneath them. He draped it across both of them. "If you aren't mine... Then you should be."
Alesha waited a moment, trying to decipher how she felt about all of this. It was a lot to take in and everything was happening all at once. She wasn't sure right now... At the moment, she felt very content and it just felt so right to be in his arms like this, but she was fairly sure she wasn't thinking clearly at the moment either. She knew that sex could easily cloud one's judgment, so she wanted to wait a bit to see if she still felt the same way later on. She just needed time to adjust to all of this.
"You know... I love you too..."
When she eventually tilted her head back to respond to him, she saw that he'd fallen asleep. Part of her wanted to wake him so they could talk, but she couldn't bear to do it. She also wanted to go look for Shiori to make sure she was okay, but she wouldn't even know where to begin looking, and she would disturb Sabo if she moved. It would also probably look kind of bad on her part if she left while he was asleep. She decided that sleep would be best for her as well...
That was the first time they were together.
She'd talked to Shiori about the night she'd kicked her out, but she hadn't had much to explain when the albino girl came back the next morning and saw what kind of shape her sheets were in... With a sleeping dragon still lying curled up in them. The shy girl had forgiven Alesha right away, congratulating her on having some fun for a change. It turned out that Shiori had spent some time with Sabo's brothers. She'd slept on their couch until she'd gone back to her own room the next morning. The following night, the two girls had forgotten everything over a gallon of ice cream and a fit of giggles.
A lot of time had passed since then. Sabo had asked Alesha out formally, while they were hanging out with the rest of their friends one day. Of course she'd said yes. The two had become accepted as an item rather quickly. Every time one of them was seen on campus without the other, people asked where their other half was. It was sweet. And it turned out that Sabo had a real romantic streak in him, which was unusual for a dragon.
But something had been bothering Alesha... He was very overprotective of her. He'd said many times that he would not hesitate to go to any lengths to protect her. And she believed him. After all, he'd never lied to her before.
The end of the semester was drawing nearer now. Things were very uncertain. She didn't know if this would last or if it was just a passing fling. But for a little while, she was happy... There had been a lot of distractions this year and her grades had slipped away from her while she'd been preoccupied.
She was getting ready to leave her Psychology class one day when her teacher suddenly stopped her. She'd worn her hair up today and her spiky ponytail was blown about by the breeze generated by her wings, as she turned around to face him.
"Excuse me, but do you mind if I might have a word with you?" Professor Adain blinked, his ice pink eyes already trying to decipher her body language.
Alesha had always liked taking his class. The bat was fairly young for a teacher and not very bad looking himself. He also had a brilliant mind for psychology, he seemed to be able to read people with ease. He could often tell her more about her innermost thoughts than she would ever care to know. For the most part, she respected and looked up to him.
"Sure, what's wrong? If it's about my grades, I'm trying my best-"
"No," He cut her off, running a hand through his wispy seafoam green hair. "Your grades have been suffering lately, but I have faith that you'll be able to bring them back up in time if you dedicate yourself. It's not too late."
"Then what is this about?" She wished he would get to the point already.
"It's about that boyfriend of yours... I mean no disrespect. I know he's not in any of my classes, but I kind of wish he was. I'd sort of like to study him some time. I wonder if maybe I could help him, but then maybe it's better this way, he might already be beyond help."
"What the hell are you saying?" The girl gawked at him, her mouth agape. Had he really just said that?! He'd said it as casually as one might discuss the weather!
"It's just that he seems overly obsessed with you and extremely controlling. As a Psychology teacher, I feel that it's my duty to talk to you about this. Forgive me, it's in my nature to be very blunt. Even if you don't believe me, please be careful and don't let it get too far out of hand."
"I think it's fine. I don't have a problem with how he acts at all. Sometimes it's nice having someone finally looking out for me for a change."
"At least consider what I have to say. We wouldn't want your grades to suffer for it. I mean, it would be a downright shame if it was his fault you failed my class."
"I respected you," She spat, her demeanor suddenly changing, unable to stop the wave of disgust and contempt that washed over her face. "Or I did, right up until you said that. What goes on between my boyfriend and I is none of your business! You've crossed a very personal boundary here, please don't ever do it again."
He was silent for a moment, just slouching and regarding her nonchalantly. "I understand... Sorry. But please, just be careful, alright?"
"I will."
The fairy turned and left in a huff. 'Who does he think he is?! He has no right to say those things about Sabo... No right at all!'
She decided against telling him though. That would most likely only add to the problem. She knew he'd only get mad and that would just make things worse. Alesha was walking at a brisk pace and she ran into someone when she turned the corner by his classroom.
"Ouch!" Her first instinct was to grab her hat to make sure it was still firmly on her head, despite the fact that she'd banged her knee into someone's shin. "I'm sorry, that was clumsy of me, I- Sabo?"
"You should be more careful," The dragon embraced her, rubbing his hands up and down her back, soothingly. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine... I was just in a hurry to get out of there."
"I noticed you were running late. Did something happen?"
"Not really, my Psych teacher just wanted to have a word with me, that's all." She didn't want to have to tell him what the guy had just been saying about him.
"What did he say?"
She'd been hoping he wouldn't ask that. "He... Said my grades have been slipping lately. And that I need to apply myself more if I want to pass his class."
"Oh..." He narrowed his eyes once she'd passed, eyeing the door the Psychology classroom closely. "Well let's go, I'll walk you to your next class sweetie."
She smiled at him as he led her away.
It was later in the day and Adain had no more classes left. It was already dark outside when he finally locked his classroom and walked down the long, narrow hallway. The only ones who had a key to get in were the custodians.
He'd failed to notice the sinister form that trailed behind him, as he went out to his car. A tall shadow lurked there, sticking close to the walls until he was sure there was no one else around. The horned man followed him out to a secluded, isolated part of the campus. He waited until the bat hybrid was halfway across the field, passing by several vacant parking spaces, before he made his move.
'It's now or never...' Sabo thought, taking a deep breath. He was a little nervous. 'You won't be able to get away from me. And no one else will see us. It's just me and you...'
Adain was already in a choke hold before he'd even realized that anyone was there. He gasped, silently struggling for air as someone else's hands gripped his neck. They were behind him and he couldn't see their face.
"You're probably wondering who I am," Sabo chuckled darkly. "Well I'm sure you'll figure it out, but by the time this is over, it won't matter."
He clearly didn't have good intentions. Adain tried to call for help, but again he was stifled. All he could do was make choking sounds. He managed to turn his head around and catch a glimpse of his attacker's face. He saw that the person had a noticeable scarring around his left eye. That sent him into a panic and he began attempting to fight him off.
Sabo was having none of that. The dragon lifted him up, flapping his mighty wings and finally putting them to good use.
"It's been a while since I've stretched my wings..." He smirked, letting the teacher turn fully around to face him.
Their eyes met at last. There was malice in the speckled dragon's dark eyes.
"It's you... Please..." The bat croaked, his decoratively spotted wings also fighting for control, but they could do little against a dragon's. "Don't do this... You could let me go. And I could help you..."
"I don't need your help. You never should have meddled with me in the first place. What gives you a right to interfere between Alesha and I?"
"I... Was trying to help... Really, I was... I'm so sorry. I'll stay out of it, I..."
Sabo opened the switchblade he kept on him at all times. The blade trailed down one side of his victim's neck, as he held him in midair by the collar of his shirt, the long black sleeves hanging down and swaying as he struggled.
"Careful with that, please don't hurt me, I don't want to die!" He spat out the words at an alarming rate, like it was all one long jumbled sentence.
Adain had faced other people with uncomfortable truths his entire life. He knew this was bound to happen, sooner or later. He'd just never expected it to happen while he was at the college teaching.
Blood began to trickle from the light scratches that were being made along his dark skin. Adain was hoping it would make him reconsider what he was doing. The sight of blood was a wake up call for some people who were suffering from psychosis. But his hopes were dashed the moment he saw the way the angry dragon looked at it. It only made Sabo thirsty for more...
"I'm not done with you yet," The blonde breathed in the other man's ear. "Not by a long shot..."
Forcefully, he maneuvered his victim around and began to run the knife over the edges of his wings. He poked the tip of the blade through the webbing.
"No, nooo! What are you doing to my lovely wings?! Please stop! I beg you!"
Sabo just grinned, his fangs gleaming under the light of the moon. "Never."
The dragon pulled on the knife, effectively slicing his wings. He continued to it again and again in between each section. While it wasn't overtly painful, only a minor discomfort really, there was no way he could fly now. But to a creature of the night, this was a terrible thing, a fate nearly worse than death itself...
Nearly.
"I've had enough of your blubbering and your nonsense! You were going to fail Alesha anyway, weren't you?" When he didn't get an answer from the man, only more choked whining, Sabo tightened his grip. "Answer me! Weren't you?"
"Y-yes..." Adain had tears in his eyes. "I... I was. Somebody help!" He cried out into the night, hoping that someone might hear.
"Shut up, idiot."
It was no use, however... There seemed to be no one around. The dragon began to breathe fire, the scorching flames engulfing the weak little bat. They had charred what was left of his once beautiful wings. His hair and clothes were lit on fire and Sabo couldn't really hold onto him much anymore. It didn't matter. He let go, watching the man who had insulted him and threatened his girlfriend fall to what was hopefully his death.
A sickening crunch could be heard, as Adain's frail bones collided with the unyielding pavement. When it was all over, Sabo landed and turned back to him, looming over him. He glared menacingly at the professor who didn't move at all. There was a large dent in the ground where he'd been thrown into it.
Needing to do one last thing, maybe for closure, maybe for the hell of it, he summoned the deep insatiable fire that burned within himself once more. He scorched the bat again, encasing him in an inescapable inferno. He waited for most of the flames to go out before he sneered.
"You just couldn't leave well enough alone... You couldn't leave Alesha as she was, as she is. She's perfectly beautiful and you have no right to tarnish her reputation, no right to taint her loveliness! No right at all..."
Those were his parting words, as he walked away from the horrific scene. He knew someone would find him, but at the moment, he didn't care one bit. Sabo briefly toyed with the idea of hiding the body, but thought better of it. If the guy could survive that, he would have earned the right to do whatever he wanted afterward. Besides, if he took time to hide the body then he would run a higher risk of someone seeing him.
Sabo had begun to panic. He knew he'd freaked out pretty badly... But there were lots of students on campus and he was sure there were plenty who would want revenge against one of the teachers. Surely there had to be someone else who also had a grudge against Professor Adain?
Be that as it may, he tried to run through every possible scenario in his head so he could take all of the necessary precautions. He'd already done the deed, so there was no going back from that. The first thing he needed to do was get rid of the only weapon he'd used: His beloved switchblade. He valued his freedom over any sentimental significance. The blade had to go. He tossed it haphazardly into the dumpster on his way back inside.
His first instinct was to notify someone, but that would only make him look even more guilty. He went straight back to his own dorm room, hoping that no one would see him on the way. He did pass a few other students in the hall, but none of them seeming the least bit suspicious of him.
And not one of them suspected what he'd just done. He didn't even know for sure if anyone would find the body, but there had been no time to hide it. They would know he was murdered and find it eventually anyway. But he was a bat, and he had fallen from pretty high up, so maybe they would rule it a suicide?
Sabo's mind raced frantically as he rushed inside. Ace and Luffy were nowhere to be found, but the door had been locked, so he was sure they were home. They were most likely asleep at this hour. There was a good chance no one even knew he'd gone anywhere, so that was good.
He had to get the blood off of him. Sabo removed his clothes and got into the shower. Before he started the water, he placed his T-shirt and jeans into the tub. He had to get rid of all the evidence, so he turned the ventilation system on and burned the outfit in the shower. He put out the flames as soon as they were engulfed, turning the water on and showering like normal. Most of the remnants of his clothes were washed down the drain, along with the last bit of blood that still clung to him.
He grabbed a towel from the rack and used it to dry his drenched curly locks, before wrapping it around his waist. This was how Luffy found him. His younger brother stared at him with sleepy eyes.
"Were you cooking in here? Smells singed..." He muttered, blinking sleepily.
"Luffy!" Sabo jumped, startled. "What are you doing up?"
"Just have to pee..."
"Oh. I was just... Showering before bed, you know, the usual routine. I'll get out now."
"'Kay..."
The blonde dragon inched his way past the dark haired boy, already making a dash for his room. He just wanted to try to get some sleep so he could get over this. He knew he was acting weird but tried to play it off.
'It's not a big deal,' He silently told himself. 'It'll be fine... Just a misunderstanding and soon this whole thing will all blow over and-'
There was a sudden and very loud knock at the door.
'Oh crap!'
Hikaru and Kaoru stood at the corner of the building, having both stepped outside for a cigarette. They were still busy grading papers, but they'd taken multiple breaks that night. The first had been to have some X-rated fun in their classroom while it was empty of students. The next had been for the unplanned second round of fun. And now they'd come outside to enjoy the fresh night air and have a smoke together. This was pretty much their nightly routine and it was the main reason they were always there so late...
"Nothing better than a smoke session right after a night of hot sex..." Hikaru winked at his younger sibling.
"Yeah, but my back is killing me!" Kaoru whined, flattening his fluffy ears. "You had me bent over that desk for way too long!"
"Shhh, keep it down. We don't want anyone to know we're out here."
"Yeah you're right..." The kitsune took a big long drag from his cigarette. "Hey, what was that?"
Kaoru, being the more softhearted of the two, seemed to perk up the minute his keen ears picked up a disturbance nearby. He'd alerted his brother in a hushed tone. Hikaru peeked around the corner with him.
"Careful with that, please don't hurt me, I don't want to die!" They heard the muffled words of some poor soul that was undoubtedly getting what was coming to him.
"Hahaha, the poor sucker..." Hikaru chuckled darkly, seeming to enjoy what he was watching. His silver tail, marked with a black X, twitched in anticipation of the carnage that was about to ensue.
"No, nooo! What are you doing to my lovely wings?! Please stop! I beg you!"
They saw the silhouette of two men, both fighting in the air. It seemed like one of them was winning. A dragon had torn a bat's wings, they were in really bad shape... And he was repeatedly punching him and doing whatever he could to inflict pain. The two were covered in blood.
"Somebody help!"
"That's Professor Adain!" Kaoru recognized the one who was getting beaten up. "We have to help him!"
"Nah..." His lover held him back. "Just let whatever happens happen. It's none of our business and it would be wise to stay out of it."
"What if they see us?"
Kaoru began shaking, so Hikaru held him close... He'd already protected his brother and made sure to take good care of him. The two kitsune watched everything from their secret hiding place in the bushes around the corner, until the bat was slammed into the ground and no longer speaking.
"He... He's not moving!" The concern in Kaoru's voice showed even through his hushed tone. "Shouldn't we do something?"
"I think he'll be alright. Just got an ass kicking, that's all..."
The dragon let out a fierce growl that set even Hikaru's fur on end. He could tell that his twin was on edge too. They'd witnessed a gruesome scene, a scene which got even worse when they saw the fallen man being lit on fire and burned down to ashes. All in all, he should have probably been more alarmed by the sight, but nothing seemed to really phase him anymore. He'd become jaded to the harsh realities of the world long ago...
The two watched in silence as the shadowed figure moved into the moonlight, revealing himself to be Sabo, one of the students at the college. They were sure there was no way Adain could have survived that. He was burned almost beyond recognition after all of that and there were no sounds and no movement from the crater that been left behind.
The twin kitsune exchanged looks with one another, cowering together in silence. Kaoru's face was very pale and it looked like he might actually vomit... Hikaru grinned, watching the crimson splattered yellow dragon walk away, tossing something small into a nearby dumpster before disappearing back inside the college.
"What should we do?!" Kaoru was hyperventilating, almost panting.
"Well, I don't know that we should do anything..." Hikaru turned away, his hands stuffed in his pockets.
"We have to do something! After what we just saw... We need to call the police."
"Getting involved in these kind of things can get awfully messy."
"I know that! But poor Professor Adain, he... He just died right in front of us! We have to do something!"
"Alright, alright, just calm down, jeez..." Hikaru fished around in his pocket until he took out a cell phone. He tossed it to his brother, before pulling out another cigarette, placing it between his lips, and lighting it.
"I'll call for help! You follow him, make sure he doesn't go anywhere."
"Awfully demanding, aren't we?"
"You're the stronger of the two of us, so it just makes sense. You could detain him, if you had to..." Kaoru was quick to point out. He was already dialing 911. "Just do it!"
"Alright, I'm going..."
He rolled his deep blue eyes, but the brunette silver fox entered the school just a bit behind Sabo. He wanted to give him plenty of room so he wouldn't realize he was being followed. Hikaru watched him go all the way back to his dorm. He walked past several dozen other students that night, and not a single one seemed to have a clue that they were walking past a murderer.
Kaoru waited out in the parking lot where it had all happened. He hoped his brother would be okay. He knew what they were doing was dangerous, but they'd seen something they were never supposed to see. He'd approached the charred remains of Professor Adain, and waited until the police arrived...
Sirens approached the campus of Majikku Daigaku that night. It was in the early hours of the morning and many people heard it, going outside their dorms and classrooms to see what all the fuss was about.
The police spoke with one of the kitsune brothers and he seemed very nervous the whole time. They investigated the scene of the crime. The forensics team began working on the body and in no time they had a list of suspects. After everything was taken into consideration, samples and fingerprints collected, and both witnesses had been spoken with, there could only be one conclusion... The man had been killed. And it had been no accident.
They sent a squad up to the suspect's dorm to apprehend him for questioning...
Alesha heard the commotion from the other students. It was like the entire campus had suddenly flickered to life. Everyone was talking and there was shouting and chaos and everything was just very hectic. She and Shiori had gone outside to see why everyone was being so loud. They'd heard the sirens too and it made them wonder what was going on.
As they approached the end of their hall, she noticed that some of the students were hysterical, while others seemed more calm and curious. She didn't know what to make of it, but it was obvious that her roommate was scared.
"Alesha, I'm worried... M-maybe we should h-hide in our room until it's safe..."
"No, we need to see what's going on." She stated firmly. "I have a bad feeling about this."
Despite her disagreement, Shiori was right by her side. She didn't want to get separated so she'd lightly grabbed onto one of the fairy's intricately swirled wings to help them get through the crowd together.
At the end of the hall, they spotted two familiar faces. Ace and Luffy were fighting through the onslaught of student traffic to get to them. The two dragons looked very upset. The moment they caught sight of them, Alesha could already see the panic behind their calm facade. Even Ace looked scared. He looked more worried and frightened than the girls had ever seen him.
"Sabo's going to jail!" Luffy wailed, drawing the attention of nearly everyone around them. People stopped walking and heads turned their way.
"Luffy, calm down..." Ace elbowed him sharply, rushing over to Shiori and Alesha. "Listen, something's happened... Do either of you have any idea why Sabo might've had some kind of problem with one of the teachers here? Professor Adain?"
Alesha's eyes widened as the realization sunk in... "What do you mean a problem? He's going to jail?"
Ace hesitated, obviously uncomfortable about telling them. He leaned in close so that none of the onlookers could hear what he had to say. "Apparently he's murdered him. They found the body outside. And all of the evidence points to Sabo. It doesn't help that he's resisting arrest."
"Oh m-my... But... Why? I don't u-understand..." Shiori murmured, unable to imagine the proud dragon doing such a dreadful thing.
"What?!" Alesha's jaw dropped.
She couldn't bring herself to say anything else. There was nothing she could do, and she knew that, but she had to get over to that side of the school. And fast!
She was off the ground in an instant, her sparkling pink wings carrying her as fast as he could go. She headed for the male dormitories but was stopped in her tracks when she realized that he was already in police custody. They were dragging him through the crowd, taking him outside... Where the police cars waited with their blaring sirens and flashing lights.
Sabo had probably overheard what was said between her and her Psychology teacher. She'd never meant for things to got this bad. She'd known he was obsessed with her, but if this was the extent of the lengths he would go to just to try and protect her... She never would have gotten involved with him. He was obviously dangerous.
'I should have seen it all coming,' Her thoughts surrounded her, cornering her. There was nowhere left to go. Her own common sense overwhelmed her. 'First the way he's approached me every time he's gotten the chance, how he's always staring at me, the way he'd constantly remind me that he would do anything to protect me, the way he'd attacked those cheerleaders for making fun of me at tryouts, then there was the fight with Alex outside the pub, even the plushie incident was probably him! Then there's the way he practically forced himself on me after class, the way he seemed to take complete possession of me... And now this. As much as I would like to think that he didn't do any of this, he probably did.'
And yet, she could not explain the immensely powerful pull at her heartstrings that she experienced at the mere thought of losing him this way... She frowned when she finally saw him, an entire team of police officers in dark blue uniforms surrounding him, as he was led away in handcuffs... She fell to her knees and the tears came then.
That was when she knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that she absolutely did love him. And he loved her as well. He loved her enough to do such a horribly fucked up and insane thing... Just to prove that he would go to any lengths to protect her. He was a madman. A beautiful madman that she loved more than anything. And they couldn't be together anymore, not after this.
She could feel Sabo looking at her, sadly. His wings were folded behind his back and the edges of them were held down by his arms which were pinned there by the cold, unrelenting steel shackles. The others hadn't caught up with her yet, she was all alone... The pink haired fairy lied on the ground in a heap of pure sadness. It hurt so much, she was actually in physical pain. He didn't speak to her, but their eyes met one last time.
'It's like he's saying goodbye... Bidding me one last farewell with his eyes.'
And it was true. He couldn't bring himself to say anything out loud. They wouldn't let him talk to her anyway. And he didn't deserve to. As he was led away, pulled further from her, there was nothing else left to say.
Sabo stared at her, mouthing the words "I love you..." as he was brutally shoved into the back of a cop car.
