Life As A Chaldean Master
Emotions
"*Watching Kagteora Stabbing Her Enemies Violently* ..."
"GAAAAH! IT HURTS! SOMEONE STOP HER! PLEASE! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The Hoodlun cried out
"*Continues To Murder The Hoodlum* Apologies for the sight, My Master. It'll be all over a second."
"R-Right..."
The Hoodlum continues to cry out Bloody Mary as Kagetora stabs him a few more times before slicing his head off, decapitating him. The head rolls over to Sonic as he slowly steps back, speechless from the scene he just witnessed.
"*Clears The Sweat Off Her Face And The Blood Of Her Blade* That should be the last of them, Master. Apologies again for what you witnessed. I know how much you don't enjoy these things. *Walks Over To The Depcatated Head And Tosses It Away From Sonic* Now, how about we start heading back?" Kagetora said
"S-Sure... I think I'll call it a day here..." Sonic replies
"Sounds good to me. Thanks again for the training today, Sonic. Now I feel even stronger than ever!" Kagetora exclaimed
Sonic notices the smiles on Kageotora's face. He couldn't help but notice that she kept her smile the entire time, even while dealing with the Hoodlums around her. All he could do was scratch his back and sigh.
"Well, it's good to know you're getting tougher out there, Nagao. I'm sure no one will stand a chance against you... Literally." Sonic commented
"You seem a little on edge, Sonic. Care to tell me what's wrong?" Kagetora curious
"It's nothing, Kage... My head is just all over the place right now... I'm going to need a break right now..." Sonic replies
"No, it can't be that. Something tells me that you seem a little frightened about my actions. Also, you're not used to someone who doesn't express emotions. Is that what's going on?" Kagetora mentions
"You told me before you don't feel any sadness or anger. I know about that, but sometimes I forget about that information. You know... I can't fathom the idea of someone being unable to express emotion. It's not fair someone like you can't feel anger, sadness, or any emotions known." Sonic replies
"So that's what's going on. I appreciate your concern. It's been so long since I sensed any emotions other than my current one. So much so that I even forgot how it felt to cry or get angry at something. It's just the same thing every day. Before and after becoming a Servant, my life has always been stuck on one emotion." Kagetora stated
"I know... and it's been nothing but smiling all the time... Do you ever wake up every day thinking you'll be able to feel any other emotion? Just feel a minute of it?" Sonic asks
"Sometimes I do. I like to think that, through passing, one day, I'll feel some expression. I see you every day expressing yourself towards the other Servants. You're so energetic, cocky, and a kind Hedgehog. I think to myself that I'll feel something similar one day. Maybe I will... Maybe I won't... It just really depends, honestly." Kagetora replies
"O-Oh... I never realized my personality puts a damper on you, Nagao... Sorry... I don't mean to make fun of you or anything... I should've been more considerate and understanding... Now I feel completely terrible..." Sonic is disappointed in himself.
"Oh, Master. *Kneels Down Next To Sonic* You don't have to apologize for anything. You shouldn't change your ways just because of how I act. I don't care; you continue being the Sonic The Hedgehog you're meant to be. While I'm not able to showcase a lot, that doesn't mean you should start doing the same thing as well. Continue living with all those feelings you have, and cherish them forever. That's what makes you stand out from everyone." Kagetora assured
"Right, Thanks Nagao. Even with all of this, I'll continue supporting you and finding comfort with your feelings. I can't exactly find a way to fix your problem, but that doesn't mean you should give up on yourself. Even if it means going haywire at times..." Sonic said
"Thank you, Master. It means a lot. *Smiles* It's a good feeling that you understand my predicament. I may sometimes lose control of myself and admittedly scare my allies. But it's comfortable to see that you don't see me as only a killing machine but someone who cares for my well-being. I should do the same thing back, but... We know I'm not that skillful in cheering people up." Kagetora said
"I'm perfectly fine with that. I am not the type to expect anything in return; just getting to know you and being friends is more than enough for me. And again, I don't see you as some tool who goes out there and does dirty work. It's been your calling before you were a Servant; I understand that fighting is your duty. I know you can only express one emotion, but deep down inside you, I know your emotions are still intact whether you don't see it or not. I know they are waiting for that time somewhere, but it will take a while. Maybe even years or so. Who knows." Sonic stated
"I don't deserve to meet someone as kind and understanding as you, Master," Kagetora said
"Just continue being the Kagetora I grew to appreciate. Don't let anything stop you from achieving greater goals, And I'll be there once you reach the top. Cheering you on." Sonic replies
Kagetora smiles as she gives Sonic a fist bump. He returns the favor, giving her a thumbs-up soon after.
"(You're not insane, Nagao. I hate the idea of people seeing you as a psychotic being who fights for a living. I know deep inside you that you're a kind and amazing friend. People need to understand you more and not just come up with conclusions quickly. I wish you could feel some emotion instead of just smiling the whole time...)" Sonic thought.
Sonic looks at Kagetora as he gets a quick flash of her covered in blood with bodies surrounding her. Her face expressed a look of insanity while smiling as she stared at Sonic.
"I'll take care of you, Master~ I won't allow anyone to hurt you as long as I'm here for you~" Kagetora stated
Sonic looks at her until he shakes his head to return to reality. Kagetora looks at him and waits for a response.
"So what do you say, Master? What's next?" Kagetora asks
"*Smiles Slightly* Let's call it a day right here. You deserve a break from all the fighting just now." Sonic replies
"Sounds good to me! I'm starving either way, so let's also get something to eat!" Kagetora exclaimed
