AN bleuxe: This chapter was hard to write it was like pulling nails for me. But I made to 10,000 views on this story and that deserve a pat on the back, so enjoy!
For several minutes Lydia sat on the floor silently moving her lips on the belt going over her plan. Ume didn't like it, it was too risky and a lot of things could go wrong. The belt was starting to think that fever of hers was starting to fry her brain.
"Why aren't you walking anymore?" Sekido asked, getting annoyed by this woman just sitting there in silence.
"Feel free to leave me (cough) b-because once again I don't need you puppy guarding me everywhere I go," she replied coolly.
"Leave you to roam freely in his lordship's castle? That is not happening. Now get up!"
"I'll get up when I'm good and ready! If you-u (cough) haven't noticed I'm sick, so I am taking a break every so often!" Lydia said snarky seeing how far it will take to push his buttons.
"Ooo this one is sassy! You have some backbone, girly!" Karaku smiled merrily knowing Sekido didn't take any sass of any kind.
Sekido narrowed his eyes and slowly approached her front. There was no fear in those dark brown eyes of hers as she clutched her hand onto that fabric over her mouth. There laid the problem, she thought just because she had a demon to back her up, that she didn't need to be afraid. It was high time that he changed that.
"You will do as ask of you and you will know your place!"
Lydia feeling hot and it wasn't her fever this time with her anger flaring up. She was so over his sucky attitude as well as demons bossing her around all the damn time. Ume was whispering in her ear that this was a bad idea and that she needed to stop feeling her heart rate spiking.
"Know my place?! Should (cough) I-I know my place as a woman or better yet as a human!"
"Both since no one seems to have taught you anything, but will learn today foreigner!"
"Go fuck yourself Sekido!" Lydia glared and shot up to her feet.
"Your gonna to get it now!" Karaku commented all giddy from this argument as he stood directly behind her.
Sekido was seeing red as he hemmed her up by the collar of her clothes ready to kill. When notice her clothing was extremely loose making him let go of her as if he burned himself. Her kimono fell away revealed a racy fit out that left none to the imagination. She might as well be naked because it was a see through lilac colored lace bodysuit leaving both demons to gawk at her completely stunned.
"NOW UME!" she shouted and ducked her head. At that same moment the belt flyed up in the air like a razor sharp whip stretching out at both ends, beheading Karaku and Sekido simultaneously.
Lydia tried to go for the door, but Sekido's body was literally blocking her way, standing up straight and then his headless body made a grab for her. She freaked out and swiftly kneed him in the balls as his head cursed at her with all his might in pain. Her mind was solely focused on the door as his body stumbled over holding his crotch.
She leapt out the door because her life depended on it. Falling fast toward the pond below, Ume quickly got undernate her feet trying to slow her momentum.
"Urgh! This is crazy! I shouldn't have listened to you!" The belt screeched trying to prevent her from going splat because they were so high up in the air.
The belt began absorbing her legs and Lydia was freaking out all over again.
"Ahh stop! What are you doing!?" this definitely wasn't part of the plan.
"Trust me this is safer, I'm not going to eat you!" Ume couldn't fly properly with her holding on top of it like this. Plus this way they could get to mistress Daki faster this way.
She kept yelling at the belt to stop and even struggled a little. Especially when it mentioned that she will just pass out once inside of it. Her body sank halfway into the material before Lydia was literally plucked out of Ume by her shoulders.
She felt sharp like talons digging into her flesh before being tossed upwards into the creature's arms. Brightly colored golden eyes and matching sclera were suddenly in her face. He was shirtless like Karaku, but more of a leaner build and had bird like features to him.
From his talon like hands to feet, his legs were covered in black pant like feathers and a giant wing span on his back. Lydia was internally panicking wondering how many more siblings did Hantengu have?
"No snack for you parasite!" he smirked then opened his mouth wide.
Seeing that his tongue had also had a tattoo on it, but this kanji read joy. A horrid screech omitted from his mouth forcing her to cover her ears. It sound alone was starting to tear the belt from its seams.
"Stop i-it (cough) y-your hurting Ume!" Lydia hammered her fists into his chest as soon as his screeching stopped.
"Well duh that's the point!" Urogi laughed at her harmless punches.
"Time to say goodbye to the rag!"
She couldn't let that happened, as soon as he inhaled to ready his attack, she exhaled and slammed her palm underneath his chin with all her strength. He crunched his own tongue off which also busted up his teeth when they smashed together.
"ARGH!?" the winged demon held his bloody mouth in complete agony because his tongue was his weak spot.
He dropped Lydia in the process making her fall down below luckily she was closer to the water. She dived in and bob her face on the surface of water to breath and shout out at the belt.
"Ume get out of here! And find Daki now!"
Immediately dunking her head back underneath the water, hoping the belt actually listened to her because she wanted to stall to give it the time to get away. She hope that she would be able to get away as well. But her ability to hold her breath for long or at all, was jacked up because of her lungs and it also didn't help that the water was so murky. Gasping and coughing for air reminding her how much she hated being sick.
"Ah ha I gotcha ya now!" he came flying at her with his talons ready to grab.
Lydia quickly slipped back underneath the water easily evading him.
"Damnit Urogi quit playing around with that bimbo!" Sekido command pissed as him, Karaku and Aizetsu landed by the shore.
"She too slippery, it like trying to catch a koi fish!" he replied flapping his wings scanned the lily pads for movement. She swam couple feet to poke her head to breath a couple seconds before going back undernate again leaving Urogi to scrape the surface. He wasn't sure if he should use his blood demon art: Sonic Scream. Would it even work against her, since being under water tend to muffle or cancel noises from the surface.
"Let get this cute koi fish out of the water then!" Karaku launched himself high in air above the pond ready to play this game. With a single wave of his fan a powerful gust of wind blast the water creating a tide wave forcing Lydia to the surface.
Flailing her arms and screaming scared because in that moment she thought was going to die in this current. When Urogi was able to latch onto her forearms pulling her out and up in the air again. When they finally got to the shore, he let her go as soon as her feet hit the gravel.
Lydia collapsed to knees tired and extremely weak. Chills racked throughout her body as she coughing up pond water that she accidently swallowed. She suddenly saw a shiny tip of a blade near her neck making her sat up straight with her hands up.
"This is the girl that causing you all problems? How sad, why she dressed like this?" said the demon with the bluest eyes she ever seen.
"I underestimated her too Aizetsu till she shattered my teeth," Urogi stuck his tongue out at her to show he is perfectly fine now.
"Well that rag was able to get away..."
Karaku bend down to her level and casually put his arm around her shoulder causing her to flinch. He thumbed her cute tattoo of a hummingbird on her shoulder blade making her want to runaway. She lost the strength to move away and her breathing was a wheezing in her lungs.
"I think she looks great plus for being so ill Lydia is a pretty good swimmer!"
Aizetsu lower his spear growing embarrassed staring at her dripping wet body especially with that sad excuse of clothing on her.
"Who you think is more busty... the Love Hashira or her?"
"Enough!" Sekido said over Karaku asinine question.
As an assorted colors of lightning bolts danced across the gravel, way too dangerously close to her. It made her the hairs on her body stand from not only from the static in the air, but in complete fear.
"As far as l'm concerned she is a dead bimbo to me!" Sekido raised his staff aiming for Lydia.
