I felt someone beginning to shake me as the sound of blades clanging came from above while Miyuki whispered," Usagi wake up."
Opening my eyes I groaned while Miyuki whispered," Quiet, we are under attack. I need you to unleash your full aura, I am sure you can sense the negative energy signatures up above. I would ask the others but they have no skill in aura manipulation."
Narrowing my eyes, the feeling of sleep vanished, while I took a light breath, sitting up, and immediately I gradually unleashed my aura. My aura grew stronger until I managed to force it into the outside world, the screams from seeing my aura was up above and the same screams quickly vanished.
Cutting off the aura I leaned backwards while Mai mused," Well I wonder what happened with the casualties."
The sound of footsteps sounded while Centurion Amor was at the door," Is everyone alright? Also how did Usagi release her aura killing all of the enemies and not killing any of us?"
"Aura manipulation Centurion," I responded softly," Along withe some sensing abilities."
Apparently after being thrown in the ringer by both Miyuki and my mother we had gotten attacked by pirates. Roughly a couple hundred. Due to the surprise attack the romans took a few losses, and with the help of my aura I killed over half of them making them instantly, the remaining pirates surrendered. Shivering slightly while Miyuki looked at me sadly," Sorry I forced you to kill so many."
Shaking my head while Centurion Julius stepped forward and commanded," Come up above."
Mai rose a brow," Not going to lead us up with the chain lead?"
Julius had a ghost of a smile," Not this time. Also I think you already know you can't go anywhere. Also you still have chains on, we just use that leading chain to lead you guys around."
Miyuki narrowed her eyes while Tatsu snorted," Has a point."
Following him first, up the stairs, while the others followed behind me.
Centurion Marcus was at the top of the stairs, the setting sun creating an air of peace and many of the soldiers on board had a few injuries, however even then they were throwing bodies over board and keeping the pirates trapped. Shivering slightly I sensed the sudden spike of lust in some of the pirate captives called out," Hey why don't you allow those woman to service us!"
Centurion Julius looked somewhat amused," Kill him, and before anything else one of these woman forced all of you pirate scum to surrender."
The one who called that vulgar thing out looked stunned as his face turned red in anger and spat," They are just whores yet they are treated better than us men?"
The Centurion mused," Have you heard about the fighters on that land mass that fight like assassins? These are some of them, soldiers kill them all and feed them to the fish."
Immediately screams sounded, along with the sound of metal moving about while I turned away from the blood bath, shivering slightly while the rough hand of Centurion Julius touched my lower back, near my rear while he gently pushed me towards the steps. Walking up the steps I quietly sat down in the usual spot. Centurion Marcus looked at me while Miyuki, and Mai sat down near me. Tatsu and Dai were sitting on the bench, the centurions and some of the ordinary foot soldiers looked at me.
The sound of splashes from the dead bodies being thrown over the ships edge at the same time the silence here was making me nervous. Centurion Marcus suddenly spoke, breaking the tension," Usagi, for what you did, thank you. If you hadn't unleashes your aura like that last night during the attack we would have been wiped out, pirates like them don't care if you are slaves for the Emperor, they hold no love for him they would have taken you aboard their own ship and had their way with you. Making you girls serve them, true not unlike that of what the Emperor and the Princeps will do but they are the lesser of the two evils. We are now over half way to the capital. At most three weeks left in the journey. Centurion Julius here will be in the capital given his election to be a member of the Praetorian Guard upon arrival. I am sure he will put in a good word for what you have done."
Centurion Julius nodded," I will. Same with the rest for the help they did without being commanded to do something even if you are all slaves. I hate to say this but any one of you can take one of us on in a fight and probably win. We might have a chance against Usagi due to her age."
Narrowing my eyes, I crossed my arms beneath my bust not really phased by being completely nude in front of the romans anymore," I can kill you with my aura. I purposely redirected it away from you romans."
Centurion Amor shivered," Thank you for that. Am I the only one not ashamed at admitting that Usagi despite being young terrifies me more than His Majesty?"
Centurion Julius snorted, while Centurion Marcus being the oldest nodded," I have to agree, tell me Miyuki and Mai, do you know the power of the emperor? You both fought against him."
Both their eyes widened while Miyuki stated," Raw lightning, wait is that praetor the Emperor?!"
"I already figured out the praetor's weakness, I am nowhere near strong enough to," I interrupted them while all the romans looked at me shocked along with Mai, Miyuki, and Tatsu, Dai looked passive as I told him all those weeks ago when this all went down.
Centurion Marcus spokes slowly," How do you know?"
"My bloodline, the sharingan allows me to see details at a hyper level, he has a wind barrier that gives him a sensory like technique. Meaning if say a blade were to puncture the barrier he could react where it is coming from. Also Mai-neesan that Praetor isn't the Emperor."
Centurion Marcus looked nervous while I looked at the older fighters around me, my calculating gaze passing over each of them causing even the roman centurions to tense slightly, even if I was in chains and nude, I was still dangerous with how high my intellect is.
A/N Been a while since I updated this chapter, Apologies for that, next Chapter will be when they are in Rome, or rather next chapter will be the most mature, longest, and when Usagi's mother is revealed to the others. Not in the order
Have a good one, Peace out Shunshin No Keiji
