Chapter 14: The Blood Moon
Today is the day that the worst enemy towards the protagonists and the greatest ally to the villains appears. An occurrence of the rare red moon. Otherwise known as The Blood Moon. There’s a reason why it is needed to be feared when mentioned. Especially towards the unnatural. Some thinks it’s the windows of opportunity, while others thinks it’s the pandora’s box. Better to remain closed and unknown to the world. The day before the blood moon (friday), the girls were summoned to their usual meetings at the Owada residence. They’re usually there for training on the weekends. But, this time it’s for a different reason. They were told to bring extra clothes and necessary things for the day until the next day. With no complaints (Except Renacchi) they followed it obediently. They get rid of everything on their schedules for those days.
The mentors and the students were outside of the residence, waiting for the group to be complete. There were varieties in the size of the bags they brought. Ranging from Renacchi’s suitcase to Jurina’s toothbrush (Rena packed everything). Sasshi was seen whispering to Miki about her bag.
“What did you put in there? You could put an extra body in there.
*Le gasp* Did you bring an extra body part?”
Miki puts a finger on her lips, “I brought a few? clothes, toiletries, skin care, my foods and a few dozens packet of blood”
Sasshi’s eyes went wide in shock and her right arm went straight on her chest.
“You brought toiletries? My student brought toiletries?” Wiping her imaginary tears away, “I am so proud of you” She goes in for a hug. (Send help for Miki)
Someone came in between to break the intimacy those two were having. It was Milky.
“Nee, why did you bring blood, you’re not even someone who needs blood” she was grinning, already knowing the bringer’s purpose. Sasshi well… (brain still trying to connect)
“Aha! I know what she’s playing at” She nudges the disciple’s elbow with her own. “She’s trying pleasure the missus”. The combination of Milky and Sasshi continues to tease the lovesick zombie.
This time, it’s Naachan’s time to step in. “I think the obvious thing to ask is how did she get this number of blood without being suspicious?”
“Well, my uncle is a worker at the biggest blood bank here. No one realizes that it goes missing”
Before Naachan could react to the answer, Milky interferes. “Is it the …….. Blood Bank? The one with the thing that stands in front of…?” Miki nodded.
“Being the biggest one, you’d think that the security will tighter”
“So you’re a thief then. Good for you, cause you look like one” said a Sassy Renacchi. Sasshi and Miki decided it will be better for them to not engage in the conservation that was to come.
This is the other conversation.
Jurina hung her right arm on Naachan’s shoulder upon hearing what Miki did and pulled her to Rena and behind Yuiri where you can see her silhouette, yet she can’t hear them.
“You heard them, if you wanna impress your girl” She pointed at Yuiri. “You gotta make her happy”
Naachan got rid of the arm on her. “Oh, what did you do to make her happy?”
Rena’s cheek flushed red after she heard it. Jurina smirked as a sign of win. “Let’s just say that you’re too young for it, yet there some people your age who still do it”. Naachan knew exactly what she meant and ran away far from them.
Unlike the others, Yuiri was excitedly learning new spells from Atsuko (Takamina in the corner looking proud) It was also because she thought that she was the weakest link and wanted make it up by learning more protection spell, because most of the were on the attacking side and didn't have much defense line to protect them. Mariko and Renacchi didn’t actually care enough about them and just minded their own business. It's better to stay away from childish teasing. Although they wanted to join a bit. They don't want to blow their cool facade.
Finally the door opened, (the interior changed again in courtesy of Sakura). Except for the adults, the teens were clueless as to why they are here. They mostly thought that they were having overnight training when discussing it in their group chat.Still, it was exciting for them, it will be like a sleepover for them. Even Renacchi seems to be thrilled by this. The teens faces were happy filled and walked in with light-hearted footsteps while the adults had their eyebrows knit together and was the opposite of the younger.
As soon as they were all inside, they gathered in the living room for a short meeting. The teens apart from Renacchi sat on the floor. Sakura was in the room with them as she was the one greeting them. Naanya came down a little late the reason was because she was up late last night playing games. She just told the that she overslept. It's best to stay that way. She just smiled with her sincere eyes joining in, considering it as a sign of apology. Well, most of them accepted it. They do have soft spot for these type of things. Especially, Rena for younger girls. (lolicon)
No one said anything since none of them know what to do. Usually Takamina or Mariko would take control of what they’re going to do throughout the day. It’s a little hard for them to explain what is about to happen, they’re not even sure how the teens are gonna take it. They were sending eye signals to the others. It was a battle, none of them wanted to have a word with the innocent. Mariko Jurina even pretended to receive a call. In the end they were only looking at Takamina. A sigh had escaped from her mouth.
“Adult meeting now, non-adults stay here. While we’re having it, all of you try to keep up with your studies. Miki and Renacchi, both of you are lagging behind the others. Yuiri don’t be afraid to use your powers more, it’s okay if it failed this house is protected from being destructed. Naanya, control your strength and stabilize your chakra. And Naachan don’t be too serious, relax yourself and don’t overwork yourself that’s all for now.” Leading them to the other meeting room, the others following her from behind.
After they went away, Renacchi sent them a message from the group chat.
Queen Renacchi:What does she mean that I’m lagging behind?
Queen Renacchi:I’m doing my best.
Queen Renacchi:It must be that smiling psychopath that told on me
, she’s always late these days
Dancing Queen:You did miss some of your training before too you know
Queen Renacchi:YOU WERE THE ONE THAT ASKED ME OUT CUZ YOU JUST HAD TO SHOW ME SOMETHING
Majime:I think instead of bickering about whose fault it is you should do what she told
Queen Renacchi:Try to loosen up a little would you? No wonder she told you that
Majime:I don’t want us to fail when facing an enemy
Dancing Queen:She’s right you know right Renacchi
Queen Renacchi:Who’s side are you on?
Dancing Queen:…
Majime:Apparently, she knows who is right
Queen Renacchi:I’m not gonna talk to both of you
Dancing Queen:I’m sorry
Dancing Queen:You know that I’m always on your side
Dancing Queen:Please talk to me
Dancing Queen:Renacchi?
Queen Renacchi has blocked Dancing QueenDancing Queen has sent a request to be unblockDancing Queen:Please unblock me~
Majime:You made the right decision
Majime:Let’s start studying
Dancing Queen:NOOOO~
Yuiri and Naanya both looked at the three of them and to each other in confusion. They did not touched their phone and was listening to Takamina’s advice and were each other’s partner. Both of them were weak in controlling their powers but are smart enough to remember the spells and such. They started from the easiest and will work their way up to higher difficulties after perfecting the previous ones. Naanya will help Yuiri gain more confidence in creating spells. The latter will then help the former stabilize by being more calm and not try to do it in a hasty manner. Time from time they would look at what the others were doing. Not sure what to do.
Yuiri spoke to the Naanya “Should ask what’s happening or ignore them?”
Seeing the Renacchi’s annoyed expression, Naachan’s expression and Miki’s desperate expression.
“Let’s just leave them be, what’s between them should stay with them” Yuiri nodded in agreement.
In the other meeting room,which is the attic. Takamina was pacing back and forth between them.
“How should we explain it to them? In addition to being on the shadows wanted list, they’re also might have to face them more powerful and maybe even themselves”
Acchan rests her right hand on Takamina’s shoulder, with a reassuring look to her and sending a warm smile. The audience in front of them felt invisible (like John Cena) from seeing the scene that was being unfold for them to see. Mariko, Milky and Jurina were adopting a plan to help them secretly. The others were holding their screams inside and waiting for what's happening next
“We still need to do it, they’ll probably be facing more problem and probably even bigger in the future but they’ll be ready by then. They are ready now too, they just need more close guidance and confidence” Acchan lifts her rested hand and grabbed both of Takamina’s hands in hers. The latter’s cold hands were being warmed by the former’s hands.
“Don’t worry Minami, we’ll tell them together. We’re all in this together and you’re not holding the responsibility alone” Both of them had a little moment for a few minutes until they were blushing upon realizing that they were still holding hands. Pulling away the hands away slowly, yet a little bit of their moment still lingers between them. This was the moment that the crowd knows it was mutual and not one-sided by Takamina. Mariko had break it up.
“It’s getting a little hot in here doesn’t it?” pulling her the collar of her shirt while also fanning herself. The others follow a while later.
A few more minutes later, they were ready to reveal everything to them and hoping that they’ll take in everything. As they were coming down the stairs, the previous hot mood suddenly became cold. They just left them thinking that would be able to manage themselves. Seeing what was happening, their eyes fell upon Renacchi and Naachan that was ignoring each other, Naanya-Yuiri practicing spells and chakra balls and Miki in the corner sending multiple apology messages. They know it won’t be easy.
