At Kuoh Park:
Later that Day:
"So, what are we doing for today?" I asked Yasaka as I closed the door behind her before I activated the runes on the car and the doors sealed completely, unable to be opened by anyone that is not me, Yasaka or Rossweisse.
A little something Rossweisse added after the Yakuza incident, along with doing the same to the compound. I was carrying my jacket, with everyone else's, as I put my keys back into my pocket dimension.
"Well, we're first taking a walk through the park. After that, we are going to go shopping, especially for you and Rossweisse since you don't have any traditional Japanese clothing. After that, we can have a movie night in our cinema room." I smiled and nodded as Kunou skipped happily in front of us, with Rossweisse and Yasaka giggling as I just smirked in amusement.
The scenery was lovely. Families walking through the park and children laughing, couples having picnics and looking happy. The birds were chirping and the sun was shining nicely.
"Theo, look! An ice cream stand!"
'And I guess I'm carrying Kunou back home again.' I thought with a smirk as Kunou grasped my hand before pulling me towards the stand. I just turned to give Yasaka a pleading stare only to stifle my groan as she gave me a teasing smirk while Rossweisse giggled.
"Good morning, little miss and her father, I assume?" The man behind the stand said.
"Well…" I trailed off as I saw Kunou giving me glances and I sighed softly with a smile.
"Yes. Can I get four, please?"
"Of course. What flavours?"
"One of everything for two of them and for the other two, chocolate and vanilla swirl please." I said with a smirk, making him stop as he stared at me and I just smiled.
"Your funeral." I heard him mutter as he scooped about 14 different flavours, slowly handing them both to me. With a quick, unnoticeable of my magic, the ice cream became stable as I handed one to Kunou, taking the other 14 scoop one for myself with my eight hand as I balanced the other two in my left hand.
"Thank you/ Thank you, Theo." Yasaka and Rossweisse said with a smile as I handed theirs and I just smiled as I slowly ate mine. Kunou was barely able to eat the top bit and I chuckled as I saw the slight green smudges of choc mint on the sides of her mouth. I sat down on the nearest empty bench we passed, Kunou sitting down on my left with Yasaka next to her. Rossweisse looked a bit hesitant at sitting down before I patted the seat with a smile and she blushed slightly as she sat down next to me.
"This is much nicer than I thought it would be." I muttered as I finished the last bite of my ice cream.
"It is lovely, but we can't stay for long. Who knows when the shops will close?" Yasaka said with slight worry, which was the first time I've actually seen her worried about anything other than Kunou. I chuckled as she quickly wiped Kunou's hands and face clean before we stood up from our comfortable bench
"Sure. So, which shops are we going to first?" I asked as we headed towards the exit, Kunou holding my hand and swinging our hands as I chuckled.
"Well, we need to stock up the pantry and then, we'll need new clothes. Thankfully, Amaterasu-sama gave us a card with almost unlimited money to use." She said and I nodded as I unlocked the seals on the car, all four of us climbing in before I turned on the engine.
"Well, Supermarket first." I said and Yasaka nodded before I started driving.
Later that Day, Evening: Home:
"You do realize that if I wasn't a supernatural being, I would be crawling on the ground in pain, right?" My voice came out muffled from behind the dozens of boxes I was carrying, my arms completely filled with different shopping bags from hand to shoulders.
"It helps build character." Surprisingly, Rossweisse was the one who said that and I twisted the boxes to give her a shocked stare as Yasaka giggled.
"Took the words right out of my mouth." They even had the audacity to high-five in front of me and I groaned as I closed the garage door, Kunou waiting patiently for me in her brand new crimson shirt and jeans combo with white and red sneakers.
"At least you have my back."
"Of course!" She said with a salute, making me chuckle as we walked out of the garage and through the hallways towards the living room, where Yasaka was busy giggling at a bright red Rossweisse before they both clamped up as soon as Kunou and I walked in.
"What's so funny?" I asked and Rossweisse just grew even more red as Yasaka giggled, Kunou plopping down next to her.
"Just girl talk." I rolled my eyes at that as I finally placed the last bag down before staring at the mountain of bags and boxes
"…Just what do you need all this for?" I asked as I gestured at the clothing mountain and Yasaka just raised an eyebrow.
"Do you expect the same outfit every day?"
"You look good in everything and anything, so I still don't get it." I shrugged and I caught the slight blush on her face before it disappeared as she gave a coy giggle.
"Ara-Ara~ Why, you flatterer~ Come, Kunou. We still need to pack away everything."
"Okay, Kaa-chan! See you guys later for movie-night." Kunou greeted as she and Yasaka picked up their boxes before walking to their rooms, carrying their multitude of bags with their tails.
"See you later, Kunou/ Try not to take too long again." From the teasing smirk Yasaka gave me, I just knew she was going to take an extra minute to annoy me.
"You need a hand with that?" I asked Rossweisse as I pointed at her pile and she shook her head with a smile as she raised a blue-aura covered hand, the same blue aura appearing around her bags and boxes before they all floated up to eye-level.
"Telekinesis too? You're just the perfect Valkyrie, aren't you?" I teased with a smile, making her face flush red slightly as she giggled.
"I'll see you later." I smiled and nodded and she walked away, the bags floating behind her as I was left in the living room with my four bags and three boxes. I just bought a few shirts, shoes and underwear and that's it.
…I still want to know why Yasaka bought fifteen lingerie pairs for both her and Rossweisse with each one being a completely different colour?
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BOOP* *BEEP*
I raised an eyebrow as I heard a familiar beeping code, pulling out my black ear piece before turning it on and putting it in my ear.
"The Frozen Arctic has called for the Arctic Huntsman?" I asked into the ear piece.
"The Commander calls for the Seven Seals to be released at 1300 hours tomorrow."The Supreme Commander's serious tone came through the earpiece and my eyes widened slightly as I nodded.
"The Seal of Ice shall be released tomorrow." I said out loud, a blue-white ice flake appearing on the back of my right hand.
"The Seal of Stealth shall be released tomorrow" A garbled voice said in the earpiece, sounding as if dozens of voices were speaking at the same time.
"The Seal of Knowledge shall be released tomorrow." A stoic voice, completely apathetic, spoke next.
"The Seal of Saints shall be released tomorrow." A male voice as soft and sweet as honey that could seduce any being spoke next.
"The Seal of Innovation shall be released tomorrow." A eccentric and excited voice was the next to be heard.
"The Seal of Torture shall be released tomorrow." A voice that could make even Lucifer's skin crawl was the next to be heard.
"The Seal of Destruction shall be released tomorrow." A deep, gravelly voice was the final to speak..
"Good. I'll see you all at HQ." And with that said, the earpiece went silent. I sighed as I pulled it out before putting it away in my pocket dimension. Standing up with a groan, I picked my bags and boxes before walking towards my room, deep in thought.
'How the hell am I going to explain this to the girls?' This was going to be a tough discussion.
The Next Day, Afternoon: Huntsmen HQ:
"I see you're already here, Theodore." A soft, honey-like voice said and I smirked as I opened my eyes, nodding at the hooded figure sitting in the chair to my right that was not there when I arrived earlier.
A handsome man with brown eyes and long reddish-brown hair that hung to his lower back and dressed in an ornate priest outfit was the one who spoke and I chuckled.
"Do you expect me to not be the first here, Georgios?" Georgios chuckled as he sat down next to the hooded figure, nodding at the figure as the figure nodded back.
Georgios or better known as Saint George, descendant and inheritor of the Spirit of Saint George and the captain of the 4th Division AKA the Medical Division.
"How have you been, Hassan?" I asked the hooded figure and he just nodded slightly.
Hassan of the Hundred Faces, the captain of the 2nd Division AKA the Assassination Division.
"GooD." Was his response, his usual dozens of voices speaking at once and I smiled as I nodded.
"And you discovered how to create miniature black holes yesterday?! Marvellous!" I heard an eccentric voice and I was amused at Hassan's sigh as Georgios just chuckled.
"Ah, I see that there are already people here! And Theseus too! I still haven't managed to decode your unique Ice Science yet, but I will do so! For that is a Tesla promise!" A man with curly brown hair and eyes said with an eccentric bow and I chuckled.
Nikola Tesla, inheritor of the Spirit of Nikola Tesla and the Captain of the 5th Division AKA the Research and Development Division.
"Forgive his eccentrics. As always, he forgot to not drink any of his hyper-boosted energy drinks before the meeting." A man apologized with a bow, dressed in black dress pants, a white dress shirt and a black vest. The most perplexing thing about him was that the crimson apple grasped in his right hand was very similar to the crimson apple he had for a head, down to the stem and all.
"Don't worry, Isaac. Everyone's used to it." He just nodded before they both sat down on my left, with Hassan opposite Isaac and Georgios opposite of Nikola.
Isaac Newton, the reincarnation and inheritor of the spirit of Isaac Newton and the Captain of the 3rd Division AKA the Intelligence and Archive Division.
"So the Commander still isn't here? A pity. I was going to ask him for more volunteers." Georgios frowned at the creepy voice emanating from the shadows to my right and I sighed as a man dressed in a dark green suit and dark green top hat walked out of it, sitting down next to a frowning Georgios as Nikola nodded at the man with a smile.
"Holmes, Georgios, not today." I quickly ended any attempt of them starting an unnecessary fight as Georgios just sighed as Holmes smiled.
"Aw~ I guess if the Elite Captain says so, we must obey." I just sighed at Holmes' words as he chuckled and looked to the front.
Henry H. Holmes or H.H. Holmes, the first ever serial killer of America and the captain of the 6th Division AKA the Interrogation & Torture Division.
"Hello, everyone!" Here, everyone groaned as I laughed.
"Hello, Samson! How has your day been?!" I greeted back and the olive-skinned giant of a man with black hair and eyes chuckled as he walked to sit down next to Nikola, his upper body bare except for the lion's pelt wrapped around his upper body as he was dressed in a pair of black pants and a fur cloth hanging from his waist while also leaving his feet bare.
Samson, the inheritor of the spirit of Samson of Ancient Israel and the captain of the 7th Division AKA the Demolition/ Clean-up Division.
"All Seven Division captains gathered once again. When was the last time we were all together like this?!" Tesla asked with a smile as he leaned back against his chair.
"Five years ago when the Supreme Commander was promoted and Theseus was promoted to being the captain of the Elite Division." Isaac said from where he was seated and Georgios smiled as he nodded.
"Ah yes! The party afterwards were just as fun!" Samson said with a smile and we chuckled before a new voice spoke.
"Quiet." Everyone instantly went still as we heard the voice, the soft clacking of metal against ground echoing behind me before the person in question walked past me. He continued walking past Hassan, Georgios and Holmes before he sat down on the throne opposite me, resting his elbow on the armrest and resting his head on his fist as he glanced at all of us.
Golden-blonde hair that was slicked back with the ends standing up like golden flames. Crimson eyes not unlike the colour of blood that just radiated power. A muscular body that was wearing an extravagant golden armour that was the same colour as his hair.
Gilgamesh, the immortal King of Heroes, he who created the term 'Demi-god' and 'Hero', the Supreme Commander of the Huntsmen Organization, the 9th Strongest Being in the World and my best friend/ brother/ uncle in all but blood.
"Why have you called the meeting, Commander?" I asked with a smile and he turned his gaze to me as everyone else let off silent relieved sighs, with me seeing the amusement in his eyes as I just smiled.
As the second-in-command of the Huntsmen Organization, I was the only one able to speak with him like that without being vaporized from the Earth.
"The Tepes Coven, along with all of its vassals, has decided to declare war upon the Organization, or Theseus personally, for the annihilation of the Donoviento Coven." I frowned at that.
"Were they informed on why he eliminated them all?" Isaac asked and he nodded.
"Their response were that the organization outposts the Donoviento's massacred should be grateful that they were killed by beings as mighty as they were."
"So, what's our response?" I asked with a raised eyebrow and the Commander smirked.
"I've been wanting a reason to get rid of those blood-sucking mongrels and they just handed it over to me. Gather your lieutenants and depart for Transylvania. From today on, the Tepes and their allies are being wiped from history" I sighed with a smile as the other six nodded before they disappeared in teleportation portals, the Commander staring at me as I stood up.
"You don't have to participate if you don't want to. You've already made sure their biggest ally is gone forever." The Commander said with a smudge of concern in his eyes and I chuckled as I shook my head.
"I have to finish what I started. What captain would I be if I left my mistakes to be solved by my own men?" The Commander just chuckled as he nodded and I nodded before I disappeared in a flash of green, teleporting back to Kuoh.
I guess the Arctic Huntsman is on the prowl yet again.
Now, to once again, explain this to the ladies. Yasaka and Rossweisse might understand…but Kunou's going to be pissed.
Hah, I can already see the ice-cream promises.
A/N: Yeah, I got tired of just writing slice-of-life, so now, it's time for an all out war/ battle.
Do you like the captains I used? I know I said that there were 9 other division captains, but I couldn't think of any more people or divisions to be added, so I just kept it at 7 in total.
Also, sorry about the short chapter. I didn't have much to write since I hit a sort-of block with this chapter, but don't worry for next week is a much longer chapter.
Anyway, leave your reviews as always and I'll see you all in the next chapter.
Until then…Ba-Bye~!
