Gommen ne this is a little boring
Had several things coming up so didn't really have the time to wrap this up at all. At the least I hope that you guys enjoy it though!
[SCENE III: The Dark Hunter]
It had been a week since Yuki had encountered many odd things in her life…such as archangel, wolf, and tengu. After a normal life was given back to her for a week, she felt like those experiences were just a dream, but that would be too arrogant to simply neglect that.
Yuko: Basically you’re my wife Yuki-chan~
Ren: …I’ll always protect you, Kashiwagi-sama.
Yuki’s head felt like exploding as those series of events that occurred to her replayed in her mind. She just wanted a normal ordinary life, but it didn’t seem she would get that so easily…
“Ugh…I want a normal life…”
“Yukirin! Are you okay? You look sick.” Jurina crouched down beside my table. I made an eye contact with her as she stared at me with curiosity. She tilted her head to the side and blinked like a cute puppy. “Yukirin~?”
“It’s nothing Jurina…I’m just a little tired.” She replied to her archangel guardian. She couldn’t deny reality when there was a non-human right beside her right now.
“Everyone! Go back to your seats!”
The teacher had come in and dropped all her books onto the table. It seemed she had some announcement for everyone as well. “We’re having a new student joining us today! Do welcome him properly.”
The door slid open and the handsome boy entered the room. It’s like his aura was emitted from him that caught everyone’s attention immediately especially girls in the room. They were literally staring and almost drooled upon his charisma. Yuki didn’t seem to be affected by his aura at the slightest, but something in her guts was feeling weird. He seemed to catch her attention in some ways…
“Ohayou minna~ I’m Miyazawa Sae! Nice to meet you!”
“Nice to meet you~!” The girls in the whole class except Yuki replied in unison. Kashiwagi girl threw her glance all over the room and could even see Asuka and Aki fangirling on the transferred student.
“Oh…it’s only me?”
Yuki looked back at the black board and could see Sae making a short eye contact with her before he diverted his glance away. Even it was a short while; that caught her attention immediately. She wondered why she’s feeling uneasy in the guts somehow…
~XXX~
Arrows struck right at the bull’s eye of the target standing away in the middle of the archery field. Then again, the ikemen boy pulled his arrow and aimed at another target. It hit right at the bull’s eye again and this time the girls screamed even louder.
“Kyah~! Sae-kun kakkoi~!!!!”
He smiled and winked at the girls. All of them screamed in unison and Yuki couldn’t help but to stared without feeling creepy. She was dragged to see Sae because of Asuka and Aki who got so hooked up with this handsome transferred student. Just in few days after he joined the archery club, he became famous instantly…however, the only person that didn’t seemed to be affected by his amazing charm would be Yuki...
“Yukirin~” Jurina came skipped towards her friend and threw her arms around the taller girl’s waist. “What are you doing here? I was looking for you!”
“I got dragged by Mocchi and Akicha to come watch the transferred student.”
“Eh? Who?”
Jurina didn’t know and Yuki thought that everyone in the whole school would know about this handsome boy already. It seemed she was wrong. Yuki pointed towards the crowd where the girls were screaming, so she decided to have a peak and then saw the handsome boy landing another hit at the bull’s eye again.
“Oh! He’s good! Who is he?”
“…Well, I’m glad you’re not affected by his charm too.” Yuki sighed with relief. At least there’s someone who wasn’t affected by Sae’s charm and that was her archangel friend, Jurina.
“Hm?” The puppy girl was still confused but Yuki didn’t even bother to give a full explanation to her friend…
~XXX~
Few days later… Sae walked up to Yuki’s table and caught her off guard. She didn’t expected that coming and his energetic smile was sure very appearling and attractive.
“Yuki-san, do you mind I have a minute with you?”
“Hm? What is it?”
She looked up and then the boy suddenly knelt down in front of her and made her flinched back. Other girls were staring with confusion and curiosity until he looked up to Yuki again. “H-Huh? Sae-san??”
“Yuki-san…no, Yuki, will you be my girlfriend?”
~KYAHHH!!!!!~
For god’s sake Yuki could swear that her eardrums were about to shred apart after the most handsome boy in the school was asking her to be his girlfriend. But apparently unlike any other girls…Yuki wasn’t attracted to him, but instead she felt some chill down her spine every time he was around her.
“I…I’m sorry. I didn’t see you in that way.”
All girls in the classroom screamed and were downright jealous with the raven girl. Yet she rejected Sae’s proposal. The girl swore that she saw a vague smile across Sae’s face, did he expected a rejection to be coming? Then yet why he bothered to even ask Yuki to be his girlfriend?
“I see…but I’ll wait! I really like you Yuki…if you don’t mind me calling you like that?”
“I-I guess it’s fine if you want…”
“You can just call me Sae, just cut out the formality.”
“Okay? Then…Sae-kun?”
“Yup~ Sounds good! Then…I hope we be good friends?” He extended his hand out towards her.
“Sure!”
Yuki took his hand and they shook each other’s hand firmly, but what was this feeling Yuki was having. She felt something through Sae’s hand and it’s really disturbing her…she didn’t understand this feeling she’s experiencing. It's rather new and never she felt like this before.
-
Yuki and Jurina were heading home together today as the archangel girl friend really uneasy with the atmosphere today. She said that a non-human might appear today so she excused herself from her afterschool naginata practice in order to walk back home with Yuki.
“Hey…something will appear?”
“I don’t know, I can’t tell…but my guts are not feeling good.”
Jurina held Yuki’s hand tightly as they were heading out from school. The puppy girl didn’t have a good feeling within the school’s ground and believed that they should leave instantly. The tall raven girl didn’t resist and just went with the flow with Jurina; part of her admitted that she felt quite uneasy today for some reason. It seemed it’s not only her that was having that feeling.
~VOOOOOM~
A chill ran down Yuki’s spine and then the life in her eyes faded. That instant the girl stopped walking and made Jurina stumbled backward with confusion.
“Yukirin?”
“…”
“Hey Yukirin??”
“…”
The girl just suddenly ran off and made Jurina flinched. The archangel didn’t felt good about it and followed the girl. As she kept chasing Yuki, she realized that they were now going to some isolated area in the campus. At that moment, she didn’t felt so good about it and then saw a hoard of humans waiting for Yuki and Jurina to arrive. They got red eyes…and clearly shown fangs…black hair…and that black outfit…they are vampires.
“You…!” Jurina immediately summoned her naginata and then it seemed Yuki snapped out from the hypnotism.
“E-Eh!? Jurina? Eh!? Where are we??”
“Yukirin! Run to me! They’re vampires!” Jurina warned and without further ado, the raven girl could see fangs and bloody eyes staring at her with an malicious smirk. It gave her goose bumps immediately and she ran to Jurina’s side without any slight hesitation.
“Capture her alive! Do not spare that archangel…master said to kill her.” The leader of the group order and hoards of vampire dashed towards the lone archangel.
“You can’t beat me that easily!!”
Jurina swung her naginata and created a defensive wall around her and Yuki in order to protect them from incoming vampires from all directions. Then she muttered some sort of spell before the barrier around them acted like a cannon shooting holy bullets towards them. Some were hit on the arm and it burned their skin. The growled in pain as those holy bullets were deadly against dark existence like vampires. The archangel smirked as she realized that her enemies made a bad decision to underestimate her. Then it seemed it had made vampires a little more serious… their eyes glowed brightly even more but Jurina didn’t let her guard down.
“Come in! You can break through it!” Jurina taunted them but it didn’t seem to work…they were smirking and Yuki didn’t feel safe anymore.
“Don’t! You have to dodge it!”
A mysterious voice warned them but it was too late. One vampire ran in and struck its fist right onto the barrier. It shattered instantly and caused Jurina and Yuki to be utterly vulnerable to her enemies.
“Kill that archangel!!” The leader ordered and every single of them aimed towards Jurina and hoped to finish her off before she could even react.
~WHOOOSH~
Black feathers rained from above and acted as a rain barrier around Yuki and Jurina. It made the vampires backed away as they made contact with those feathers. It was no ordinary feathers. The vampires grumbled with dissatisfaction as they could sense another presence of non-human close by which wasn’t their own people…
“You can stay defensive against vampires…the longer you let them stay still the stronger they get.”
The man in black wings appeared from the sky. Slowly his feather shredded off and the wings disappeared. His black feather reminded Yuki of a familiar face. Just looking as his back she recognized him immediately; this presence, this aura…it was the friendly black tengu that she met, Matsui Ren.
“Ren-san!”
“I’m here as I promise. I’ll protect you Kashiwagi-sama.”
“You…”
“Archangel, this is not the time for you to turn your weapon against me. If we want to protect Kashiwagi-sama…I believe we have to join forces together.” Ren tried to open a negotiation, as he made sure he kept his eyes locked at those vampires surrounding them. Even though he might be strong, just along with these hoards of vampires could be a big problem with him.
“…Fine! Just this once!” Jurina was forced to agree with him and then they had temporarily team-up in order to protect Yuki from those vampires that were trying to kidnap her.
“I’ll be in front line, do support with your defensive spells.”
“You don’t have to ask for it!” Jurina stood in her battle stance and chanted more spells while Ren had took all the vampire’s attention.
They all ran towards him in order to finish him off once and for all but it was an utterly poor decision they made. He took off his hidden twin sword underneath his sleeves and then spun around swiftly. He swung his blades in one fluid motion and created a wind slash around him. He managed to land a strong blow against those that tried to corner him. Using this chance, he leaped out from the center of the circle and more slashed down two vampires from behind. He didn’t kill them but he wounded them enough that they wouldn’t be able to fight any longer.
“Oi! Tengu!!”
Jurina called him from behind and then he leaped towards the side before hoards of holy bullets struck the whole group of vampires instantly. Ren was able to buy enough time for Jurina to charge up her holy arts without any disturbance.
“Sugoi…” Yuki exclaimed with astonishment, as this was her first time witnessing the battles of non-humans. It seemed like its some sort of fiction, but it’s all happening in real life right before her eyes.
“Obviously those vampires are weak against holy arts of heaven!”
She smirked and Ren didn’t say a word. He didn’t really care about anything as long as Yuki’s safe. Then suddenly, he realized that the leader had disappeared…this wasn’t such a good sign.
“Archangel! Behind!!” Ren roared and but Jurina wouldn’t make it on time.
He saw the leader behind Yuki as he was about to bury his fangs into Yuki’s white neck. None of them would make it on time but then…one single arrow saved her.
“Bull’s eye~”
~THUD!~
“U-Ugh!!!”
The vampire shrieked as the arrow went into his right eye. He backed away and caused Yuki to be terrified. She didn’t expect the vampire to be behind her and he was injured as well. That moment, Ren threw his black blade towards the vampire and struck right at its shoulder in order to make him immobilize. That moment, both Jurina and Ren sensed another presence, but it wasn’t a vampire.
“Oi~ If I’m not here then my girl would be in danger huh?”
The ikemen boy spoke up as he walked towards them from behind. Obviously Yuki would recognize him, as he was one of her classmate Miyazawa Sae.
“And you better head back to your filthy land, my arrows don’t kill, but it can make you blind.” He mocked while he stood in his relaxing stance, yet there was no opening for anyone to strike him. His aura told everyone how cautious and confident he was.
“Damn you…Dark elves!” The vampire cursed back at him as he pulled the arrow out from his eye.
“H-Huh?” Yuki froze and turned towards Sae.
He was smiling without fear even though he was standing in front of a vampire. The only reason that could solve her doubt was that he must be another non-human as well. That would explain why Yuki always felt uneasy around Sae.
“Leave~ Or else I’ll have to kill you off since you dare touch my woman…”
He pulled his bow and an arrow was formed by his powers. He aimed at the injured vampire but then the tengu boy grabbed Sae’s arm and lowered it down.
“Stop. Do not violate the our laws or else even you wouldn’t be spared.”
“…Hm, you’re right~” Sae pulled his bow back and the arrow disappeared. The leader used this chance to order his people to retreat and then they disappeared from the school immediately.
The atmosphere was lightened up after the presence of vampires disappeared. However…it seemed another candidate that aimed for Yuki appeared. Jurina glared at him and turned her naginata towards both Sae and Ren.
“Then it’s the time I’ll have to finish you two off.” She glared but it made Sae pouted.
“C’mon…I saved Yuki didn’t I? Don’t I deserve some prize?”
“No one asked you to!” Jurina argued back and still stood in her attack stance.
“Sae-kun, Ren-san, thanks for saving me.” Yuki spoke up and made Jurina flinched. The raven girl walked forward and bowed slightly for them. Even though she knew that they protected her for some of their personal gains, at least she felt like having to thank them for saving her. “…Thank you.”
“No problem Yuki~ I’m always at your service.”
“You don’t have to worry. My duty is to protect you, Kashiwagi-sama.”
“Oh right, you’re a tengu guardian. But that isn’t fair~ you sound much cooler than me!” Sae pouted and Ren didn’t know how to responded to that. He ruffled his head and tilted his head slightly to the side with confusion.
“Uh…okay? I’m not certain how am I going to respond to that?”
“Hm~ more rivals eh~?”
Another mysterious voice echoed up from the side as the shadow of a wolf boy appeared from behind the trees. Yuki couldn’t forget childish face, as he’s the first non-human she had encountered.
“Isn’t it the dark elf and Ren-chan?”
“Yuko? No wonder I felt your presence within this town…” Ren didn’t look that surprise comparing to Sae. He seemed to realize that he got more rivals that were coming after Yuki now.
“A wolf…so are you after Yuki as well?”
“Hehe~ I guess we’re on the same boat~”
The dark elf and the wolf glared fiercely at each other and it didn’t seem they’re planning to back down any second. Ren was standing in the middle goggling his eyes between Yuko and Sae every now and then…
“Uh…” Yuki kept staring at those three with confusion and a bad feeling in her guts. “Do you mind I ask a question?”
“Hm?” The three of them turned to her.
“Why…what do you guys wanted from me?” Yuki asked again even though she knew the answer. Yet she seemed she wanted more clarification of why non-humans like them and the vampires were aiming for her. “What’s so important about me?”
“You’re special Kashiwagi-sama…and we didn’t really have a choice.” Ren replied calmly and then Sae continued where he left off.
“It’s indeed a long story…but let’s say, our non-human race is dying.” Sae stuck his wooden bow onto the ground and it immediately transformed into a small tree. It was from his dark elf powers.
“We need you…and yes, it’s a battle royal between all non-human races. Only the leader of each race can participate, and only one can have you…” Yuko declared as seriousness atmosphere started to accumulate. “Our lives are on the line, that’s why…we’re serious.”
“What can I do…Am I not just an ordinary girl?” Yuki asked out of complete curiosity. She couldn’t still believe that a simple girl like her could be able to save a whole clan of non-humans from their destruction.
“I guess you can’t call ordinary…” Ren muttered softly. “You’re the reincarnation of the goddess of life. It’s not like we wanted you involved in this as well…”
“Actually, why not? Yuki is sure going to be a gorgeous wife~” Yuko laughed out loud and it made Sae joined him as well.
“True! I believe her kids would be as pretty as her~”
“E-Eh!?” Both girls exclaimed with shock and Ren couldn’t help but to be stunned by how playful both Sae and Yuko were with this matter.
“H-Hey! Kashiwagi-sama is not a play-thing for you guys!”
“Of course she’s not, she’s going to be my wife.” Sae giggled with slight hint of excitement.
“No she’s mine!” Yuko argued.
“My child with her will definitely look better than yours.” Sae stuck his tongue out and made Yuki and Jurina blushed with embarrassment.
They both pretty much understood what the non-humans were conversing right now and it seemed it’s getting a little too overboard for a 16-yr old girls like them to hear this.
“You two! Both of them are underage! Plus, is this the only thing you guys can think??” Ren tried to protect both Jurina and Yuki from perverted contents from Yuko and Sae. However it seemed he became their next target somehow… they both glared at him with suspicious smirk, which sent a chill down his spine. “Uh…”
“Obviously its our nature to produce kids~ or else who would continue our race?” Yuko giggled and gave a creepy stare at the tengu boy. “Aren’t you a part of this because you need to make Yuki-chan your wife too?”
“B-But…” He froze, as he couldn’t deny that fact Yuko stated. However, he shook his head violently and argued back at the perverted wolf. “I don’t wish to force Kashiwagi-sama to be with me if she doesn’t want to!”
“Oh~ Then how about we play a game?” Sae suggested and literally grabbed everyone’s attention to this.
“Game?”
“Who can make Yuki fall in love with them first within 3 months will win and others will have to acknowledge their own lost?”
“Hey! Hey! Hey! Since when I become a prize thing!?” Yuki rushed in and literally joined the conversation. However the wolf and the dark elf seemed to ignore the poor raven’s question.
“Deal! Definitely I’m going to make Yuki-chan fall for my charms!” Yuko declared proudly.
“Not at the slightest. The winner is going to be me!” Sae argued and it seemed the game to make fall in love with them had begun. The dark elf turned to the tengu and pointed his finger at him. “I won’t lose to you, tengu!”
“Uh…”
“Then I guess I better make a plan now!” Yuko giggled suspiciously and then decided to walk away. He winked at the raven girl and caused Yuki to flinched back slightly with how playfulness he was. “See you Yuki-chan~”
“Hm~ I guess I have to go do my assignments that are due tomorrow now…I don’t want to ruin my reputation in school yet!” Sae approached Yuki and raised her hand up to kiss her backhand gently. It made Yuki flushed as no one ever did this to her before, even though she knew that Sae was a non-human. “I’ll see you tomorrow, my Yuki.”
“Hey! Let her go!”
Jurina came in and hit Sae’s hand away from Yuki’s. He managed to pull his hand back before the archangel could’ve hit him. “I’ll make sure you never get close to Yukirin…”
“Don’t worry~ I won’t have to since I’ll make her fall in love with me.” He winked before he decided to disappear away. “Jya ne~”
Now, it’s only the black tengu boy that was left and it seemed he was automatically dragged into the game Sae and Yuko proposed. But at the least Yuki would be safe as they wouldn’t have to fight or kill each other to make Yuki as their own. That would be the worse consequences he least wanted it to happen.
“Kashiwagi-sama…I’m sorry that you’re dragged into this mess. But I promise I’ll always protect you.”
“Ren-san…” Yuki turned to him and smiled with relief. At the least, she was glad that there was at least one sane non-human other than Jurina with her. She felt safe around him than Yuko and Sae who constantly seemed to be perverted around her. “Thank you, you’re really kind…”
“But I won’t let you get close to Yukirin.” Jurina declared again and made him chuckled softly.
“I don’t intend to force Kashiwagi-sama to love me. I’ll protect and respect your decision.” He patted the young raven’s head gently. His warm smile gave comfort and ease to the poor raven’s heart. “By the way…It’s Jurina isn’t?”
“Yeah?”
“I believe more vampires will come after Kashiwagi-sama even more. If that really happens please call for assistance immediately.” Ren grabbed on of his feather on the ground and clutched it tightly in his fist. He turned it towards Yuki and the feather transformed into a smaller size. It became a small portable keychain.
“Please keep this. When dangers approaching, I will realize it immediately.”
“T-Thank you Ren-san!”
“Those vampires that are after Yukirin? Plus, I can just handle them alone.”
“You witnessed their strength already. I have to admit that if it’s only me…I would have a rough time dealing with that many.” Ren replied honestly.
“…” Jurina remained in silence as the scene that her proudly defensive wall shattered in just one single punch.
“They will come for Kashiwagi-sama again…their leader isn’t appearing out yet. We have to be extremely cautious.”
“…Fine, I got it.” Jurina had to agree with Ren and it seemed they had formed an alliance to protect their princess. “The only main purpose is to protect Yukirin! Got that?”
“I know, that’s what I wish…and it’s the time I should be going. Please return home soon as soon as possible.”
Ren walked away and left the two girls alone. As Yuki and Jurina realized it again, the sun almost set and they hurried back home immediately before any more things might happen on them again.
~XXX~
The injured vampires returned back to the black castle on the dark mountains and the vampire messenger had came to inform their leader about his minions’ failure in mission.
“It had seemed the archangel, tengu, and dark elf had coorperated with each other sir.”
“I see.”
The leader replied as he had been having a good nap on his throne chair. He slowly opened his eyes and revealed those pure bloody orbs that glowed in the dark. He got up from his seat as he felt that it’s pointless to make his minions go to kidnap Yuki any further.
“I guess I have to take action myself. Arrange the preparations.” He ordered his messenger as he bowed before he left the leader’s throne hall.
“Mayu, are you going to leave the castle?”
A vampire lady came out from the curtains and skipped towards her leader. She seemed to be fairly close to the leader in order to address him by his name only. Mayu wasn’t even mad at her either; they must have intimate relationship with each other.
“Take care of the castle while I’m away, Miyuki.”
“Hai hai~ I will look after the castle in your place.” Miyuki saluted at her leader as the blood eye boy walked out from the throne hall to prepare himself to go to Tokyo…in order to go confront with Yuki directly this time.
~XXX~
“Nngh…I’m so tired.” Yuki muttered as her head was still resting on the table.
These couple of weeks her life had been really hectic. Her school life was already a pain in her ass but she had to deal with Sae every single day in school and it was just draining all her stamina each time. Since she literally had to run away from him to hide as well as running away from his fan groups.
“I heard we’re getting a new history teacher!” Asuka exclaimed with excitement.
“Hm? What happen to Sata-sensei?”
“He’s going to teach a different course so the new teacher replaced him. I heard he’s super handsome!” Aki giggled and it’s just as Yuki would expected from her friends.
“Eh… I can’t wait to see him too!”
~DING~DING~
Everyone went to his or her seats and then the door had opened. The unfamiliar man had entered but…something caught Yuki’s attention. As he walked towards the table in the middle…his eyes, hair, posture, and aura…she definitely recognize him. His gentle smile melted the girls’ heart instantly. Sae seemed to be surprise as well as he saw this new teacher entering the room.
“Good morning everyone. I’m the new history teacher here, my name is Matsui Ren. Nice to meet you all.”
(Yuki: I didn’t expect this! Ren-san is now my teacher!? I wondered how old is he!)“I guess we also have another new student…please come in.” Ren turned towards the door and then another boy had entered. He didn’t button his first two buttons and revealed his collarbone. His playfulness aura sure grabbed everyone’s attention as well.
“Yaho~! I’m Oshima Yuko! Please take care of me~”
(Yuki: W-What!? Oh now this is doubling the horror…what’s wrong with these non-humans that appeared to be so popular to everyone…)“Kyah! We got two hot guys in our class! I felt so lucky~” The girls screamed with excitement as there are Sae and Yuko…both non-humans, and both super instant-popular boys due to their handsome appearance.
“Heh~ that’s sneaky.” Sae smirked softly and obviously only Yuko could hear him due to his excellent hearing.
“Well…How about Oshima-san sit at that available seat over there?” Ren pointed at the last seat in Sae’s row. The playful wolf nodded and intentionally walked pass Sae’s table.
“Well~ I won’t let you guys take that advantage from me either.” He replied as he walked passed his table.
Right now, the school had turned into a love battlefield and it’s likely to be the place that Yuki never wanted to be there anymore. She could see Yuko winked and her and she definitely knew that his plan was to enroll in this school in order to get closer to her as a student. At the least she still had Ren and Jurina with her but still…she felt like wanting to scream out loud with how hectic her life would be from now on…
