Chapter 15: Unlikely Allies
Eiji was wandering the grounds of the resort. Everything he had ever known had been shaken, and he needed some air.
Why?
Why would the heavens erase ME? What have I done?
According to the others? Nothing.
NO! It can't just be NOTHING! THERE'S ALWAYS A REASON!
A reason that they wouldn't tell me first?
(What happened to mercy?)
No, stop thinking such things! It isn't true...
(Hypocrites, all of them. They lied to me.)
No... There has to be a reason!
(WHAT REASON!? Fear is starting to sound REALLY likely!)
It's a lie!
(No... It's not. They have just proven that they have the capacity to break the rules THEY THEMSELVES have set!)
No! It can't be!
(Yes! IT CAN! And it is...)
Twenty Leviathan's stood in front of him.
Eiji felt a darkness wash over him. He would not strike them, but heavens help them if they were to strike him first. To bad for them, the heavens weren't so helpful right now.
"What do you want." He said.
They bowed.
"We've heard there is an uprising, and we've come to help you."
One laughed maniacally, rolling around on the ground.
"Yes! Haha! Will their be dumplings!? I WANT DUMPLINGS!"
They all laughed.
"Lot's of CAKE!" Screamed one.
"CAKE DUMPLINGS!" Screamed the next. The rest let out a unanimous cheer.
"CAKE DUMPLINGS FOR ALL!"
Eiji wasn't sure if that was possible.
"Well... There is an uprising. So if you don't want to kill us... Hi? I guess."
"Yeah! There's this... This... This GUY! RIGHT! A GUY!"
"A GUY!" They screamed.
"He's an AWESOME GUY!"
"AWESOME GUY!" They repeated.
"Does he have cake...?" One asked.
"He probably does..." Said another.
"NO! CAKE DUMPLINGS!" One screamed angrily.
"OH YEAH!" The others replied.
They all laughed.
What was wrong with them...? Eiji wasn't sure he wanted to know, but they hadn't killed him... Okay then.
Their expressions darkened.
"Take us to Kahn." They said. "We will serve under him, and you... We have no obligations to Ririsu, but we can tolerate her presence."
Ririsu? They didn't know anyone named Ririsu... It was official. They were insane...
...But they would help, so Eiji couldn't complain.
"Alright... He said. But don't be surprised if they try to kill you at first."
They laughed.
"Haha! We will follow A TEN YEAR OLD!"
"A YEN YEAR OLD!" They screamed.
"An AWESOME TEN YEAR OLD!" One preached in a scream.
"AWESOME TEN YEAR OLDS!"
"He will free our brethren! Free them from the Kurayami! And we will feast! LET THEM EAT CAKE!"
"CAKE DUMPLINGS!" They screamed.
"Oh yeah..." Said the one.
Eiji held the bridge of his nose.
"Just... Come on." He said.
"YES MASTER!"
...
We had gone over the order in which this was going to happen.
Our first priority was the Kurayami. They were a cult that has been around for as long as Nina has. They are also rumored to possess the dreamstone, so we would be killing two birds with one stone. Once this cult is erraticated and we have the dreamstone, we'll have to infiltrate the throne room. We will be building our strength throughout this process, so we will be ready to face this tyranny...
...It was going to be the challenge of our lives, but we were determined. There was no way any of us wouldn't stand our ground.
There was a sound in the distance...
...Laughing...?
Leviathan's!
"We've got trouble!" I said. "Leviathan's are on the grounds again!"
Haku's eyes widened. "The grounds...? EIJI!"
We all ran outside. Shisuta was prepared with another poison bomb...
She stopped.
"Do you see this?" She asked.
We looked at the Leviathan pack, and Eiji was walking in front of him.
He was leading them.
Chihiro looked confused. "Eiji...? Well, I don't think he's in danger... What is he doing with all of those Leviathan's?"
He approached us.
"Hey... Guys? Um... They don't want to kill us. They keep calling me 'master' I... I'm confused."
"The master is CONFUSED!?" One yelled.
"CONFUSED!" Screamed another.
Eiji hung his head bashfully.
"They've been doing this the whole time..."
"Let the master think..." One said.
"Well... Eating helps me think! LET HIM EAT!"
"LET HIM EAT CAKE DUMPLINGS!"
"No... Not this again..." Eiji groaned.
They all stared at Kahn.
"Oh it's... GUYS! IT'S THE GUY!"
"THE GUY!?" They yelled.
"THE GUY!" One screamed.
Linn slapped her palm to her face.
"Ohh... These guys are such a trip!"
"You can say that again." Said Kuhn flatly.
"That's Kahn..." Said Eiji. "Apparently your... The 'guy'."
"I take it they want to help us...?" Said Shisuta. "Oh wow... That's new."
"I agree, it's strange." I said. "But, they would make good offense... I can't believe I'm saying this. Welcome aboard."
The Leviathan's cheered.
"YEAH! THE GUY!"
What have I just agreed to?
With them roaming and screaming about, none of us will get ANY sleep!
"On one condition." I said. "The resort is ours. You can roam around the grounds and old gardens, but you are NOT to eat the customers."
They looked at Eiji.
"Well, you should do what he says..." Eiji replied.
"YES MASTER!" They screamed.
They scattered to the gardens and grounds of the resort.
This was turning out to be a very interesting day...
...
Chihiro and Haku hadn't been back here in awhile. They roamed around the resort, looking around.
"So much has changed..." Said Haku.
Chihiro smiled. "I don't know? I think I like what they've done with it."
Her face fell. "Haku... What about Eiji? Why are Leviathan's following him?"
Haku shrugged. "I can't say... Leviathan's often choose things like this at random, but they always stick to what they decide. Once something gets stuck in their heads, there's no changing it. It seems they chose Eiji as their master... I'll give you this, it's strange... Though Leviathan's aren't known for being the normal kind."
She smiled. "No, I guess not."
Haku kissed her softly on the lips.
"We're all together, that's what matters..."
She sighed happily.
"You know, even though we can't go back, I'm okay with it... I have Eiji, and you..."
She brushed her lips against his.
"Eiji's asleep..." She whispered.
"And our room is right there..."
He laughed softly, nibbling her ear. He carried her to the room, and held her against the headboard of the bed.
His lips brushed against her neck, moving down to her chest. She let out a blissful moan. Every part of him that touched her felt amazing...
His tongue slid up her chest and neck, and he started biting softly. She let out a long and pleasured moan.
"Haku... What... Is this...?" She asked, barely able to speak.
He teased her earlobe with his tongue, and she moaned loudly as her eyes rolled back.
"A little trick I learned..." He whispered. "Like it...?"
She was trembling with ecstasy, his lips and hands trailing across her body...
She couldn't contain her bliss as they merged, her fingers pressed against his back as she moaned his name loudly...
She was still moaning softly when they had stopped, her body completely relaxed.
He gave her a soft kiss.
"I love you..." She whispered.
He pressed his lips to her forehead, kissing it softly.
"Always..." He said softly. "I'll always love you."
They were just about to fall asleep, when they heard a Leviathan yelling.
"MASTER!? MASTER! WE MADE THE CAKE DUMPLINGS!"
They heard Eiji yelling from the window.
"Uuuughhhh... I'm trying to SLEEP! Tell me in the morning!"
"But wait... Okay! IT IS THE MORNING! CAKE DUMPLINGS FOR BREAKFAST!"
"No, it's not!" Eiji yelled.
"YES IT IS!" The Leviathan replied.
"It is TWO! Two in the morning... Two O' one."
"Well not now, are you-!? Yes, you're all insane. Why do I even ask? Wait until the sun is up, okay!?"
"YES MASTER!" It screamed. Then it was silent again.
"Wow... Poor Eiji's going to be so tired tomorrow..." Said Chihiro.
Haku sighed. "If they keep THIS up, we'll all be tired..."
Yeah... Gotta love Leviathan's.
