"Talk"

'Thought'

Supido-Kyo, aka Kobeni Higashiyama, was currently seen resting and trying her best to catch her breath, all while checking over her wounds, some were fresh and covered in her alien blood, luckily none were fatal, though that didn't stop her from feeling the pain, wincing and hissing when she felt them, but during her moment of resting and recovering, she was finally given a chance to just, "Think", as if the suffering has somewhat snapped her out of her instincts, at least, enough to slowly process what was happening.

"W-Why am I still Supido-Kyo?..."

Unfortunately, that was all Supido-Kyo was able to recognize about herself, before suddenly feeling herself getting tied up and held in place, once again her instincts taking over as she did everything to struggle against the invisible force holding her in place.

"Holy Hell, finally found you."

Though it was soon revealed that the invisible force was none other than Himeno herself, who showed herself and was currently using her tendrils to hold back Supido-Kyo.

"You know, not really happy about you hurting your own teammates, especially with Aki specifically."

Himeno couldn't help but sigh in disappointment and shake her head, clearly upset with the actions of Supido-Kyo.

"I mean, obviously it's because of your collar, but it doesn't change the fact it's still you doing all this."

Himeno, while expressing her displeasure and venting her annoyance to herself, started to walk away while still carrying the Supido-Kyo in her tendrils, no doubt planning to take her home, or some place to hold her until she recovered.

"You're gonna have to buy me so much beer to even consider me forgiving you."

Unfortunately for Himeno, it seems that Supido-Kyo had other plans, specifically her Deviltrix, who seemed to reactivate again once realizing the threat that the host was in and wasted no time using one of its counter measures to deal with such danger.

"Huh-ACK!!!"

Himeno just barely noticed what was happening, before the Deviltrix suddenly bursts with energy, resulting in not only obliterating the tendrils that held Supido-Kyo, but pushing back and slammed the Ectonurite Hybrid against the wall, seemingly knocking her out unconscious, the Kineceleran Kobeni fell on her hands and knees, trying to recover from what just happened, and was about to run away.

"Haaaah, free once again~..."

However Supido-Kyo interrupted by the sound of sinister laughter, making her look and suddenly get very startled, and possibly slightly frightened, when she saw "Himeno?" started to float in the air, claws growing long and sharp, a tail grew, her head was now upside down, and of course, her normal eye disappeared in the socket, while the other empty socket was replaced with one pink purple eye, which then looked and glared at the Raptor Higashiyama.

"Oh, it's you, the current host of that damned Deviltrix…"

And once "Himeno?" noticed Supido-Kyo, she took this as a hint to attempt to run away, but was once again stopped and held in place by the Ghost Lady telekinesis.

"You know, usually, I would've thanked you for releasing me from my prison."

Unfortunately with the Deviltrix just letting out a burst of energy from earlier, not to mention Supido-Kyo being in some kind of "Life Form" lock, as well being more focused in protecting only the babies, the collar was unable to help the host, at least, not at the moment.

"However, all you did was give me a new kind of cage to be forever trapped in!"

Which unfortunately means that Supido-Kyo would be unable to defend herself in whatever "Himeno?" might plan to do to her, and judging by her upside down expression, it was most likely nothing good.

"However, as a sign of mercy, I'll just kill you and take your Deviltrix from your corpse."

"Himeno?" gently pets and caresses the head of Supido-Kyo, almost trying to sound and be comforting towards her, despite what she said.

"Consider it as payment for releasing me from that fucking collar…"

"Himeno?" then used her telekinetic abilities to push Supido-Kyo away and slammed her against a wall from a building, with enough force to not only shatter it, but no doubt also break many bones from the Kineceleran Kobeni, again attempting to run away from such a threat, but was being dragged back out of the broken wall by this phantom devil woman.

"My cage mentioned before that she wanted to practice her new abilities."

And when dragged out, Supido-Kyo was met with not only "Himeno?", but her being surrounded with over a hundred, thousand, maybe even a million ghostly arms.

"Might as well give her what she wants~..."

To which "Himeno?" sent them all out all at once towards, and wasted no time brutalizing Supido-Kyo, a punches to the sides, hard jabs to the throat, smashing head to the ground repeatedly, throwing her body against walls, leaving deep scratches, forcefully dislocated certain joints, and more, clearly the Ghost Lady was showing absolutely no mercy.

"You know, I find this all hilarious."

"Himeno?" then soon stops after having fun watching Supido-Kyo suffer, using the many ghost hands to hold her up in the air by the tail.

"The Deviltrix is doing everything it can to protect your children."

Yet despite all the damage "Himeno?" purposely gave to Supido-Kyo, her pregnant stomach was the only part that seemed unharmed, protected by some kind of shielding, provided by the Deviltrix, and, like what the Ectonurite Hybrid mentioned, doing everything it can to protect the babies inside.

"Yet does nothing to stop you from experiencing pain and suffering~"

In contrast, "Himeno?" looks at the body of Supido-Kyo, again very damaged, blood was even seened leaking out of the cracks of the helmet like head.

"Caring more about its objective than what the host feels, makes me wonder."

"Himeno?" then brought her upside down face at Supido-Kyo, at first giving her a sympathetic expression.

"How much or how long would it take for you to resent this collar as much as I do?~"

Before the upside down face of "Himeno?" turned more sinister and mocking.

"Unfortunately we'll never get the answer~"

"Himeno?" then turned her attention towards the pregnant stomach of Supido-Kyo, giving it light pokes and testing out the protection it was currently receiving from the Deviltrix.

"Now then, let's see how long this protection can last, before I can finally get what's inside~"

However, just as "Himeno?" was about to make some attempts in getting past the shielding and reach the babies inside, she was interrupted when she suddenly felt a burning sensation, at first confusing her, but slowly realizing that the night sky was disappearing and the sun was starting to rise.

"NOOOOO! NOT THE SUN! AAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

This not only cause "Himeno?" immense pain from the sunlight, but also seemingly change her form back to normal, this unforeseen distraction resulted in the phantom devil woman dropping Supido-Kyo, who, once touching the ground, wasted no time running away and leaving behind Himeno, who fell unconscious again on the ground, though as she running away, her mind was racing, her thoughts were all jumbled up from all the pain and torture she just suffered, again this made her snap out of her instincts, but only enough to consider what the, "Monster", said to her.

"... Resent?..."

Believe it or not, what I have planned for this story, Himeno would be considered the 5th strongest in the Kobeni Team, with Kobeni being 1st, Denji 2nd, Power 3rd, and Aki 4th, you'll understand once we get further along in the story.

(BTW, to let you know now, the Deviltrix isn't "Evil", but will definitely have evil moments, we'll see what will happen in the future~)
