Anyways, read up folks~!





CHAPTER 6




“Line clear?”

“Nothing from my side. How about you?”

“Negative.”

“Roger.”

“Ready?”

“LET’S GO!”



THWACK!!  PAK!!



“ITTAAAAI!!!”  Churi and Airi exclaimed. Both of them were in a ducking stance as if on a lookout for someone.

“Would you guys stop it already??? Mou… This has been going on for days. It is totally inappropriate!!” Rena lets out a distressed sigh seeing her two best friends’ actions. To be surrounded with over protective people, she’s starting to lose some patience.

“But, Rena-chan! What if she comes near you?? You may never know what that devil-in-disguise puppy face would do to you!! Not to mention the stares she gave you is creepier than Nishishi’s…” Airi shivers from the statement while Churi merely nods her head.

“Yeah! Airin’s right! With that cute puppy eyes of her plus the ikemen look, everyone will be hypnotized including you. Just wonder what she’s hiding under that face… Ugh!”

“Says the one that was squealing loudly during her basketball try outs…” Churi turns pink from Airi’s comment.

“HEY! That was just one time okay?! Besides, she really does look cool dribbling the ball across the other players. BUT!! Just for precautions, Rena-chan you should really make some distance from that Jurina. Who knows what she had in store with that wicked mind of hers…”

“Well… she seems like a good girl. I don’t feel any bad intention coming from her. Except for that kiss though…” Rena unconsciously strokes her lips, remembering the soft lingering feeling she felt from the unexpected innocent kiss. Sensing Rena’s mind going out of it with her cheeks shaded in color, Airi quickly snaps.

“OY, MATSUI RENA!! Don’t you dare daydreaming about that girl! You hear me?!” Rena was a bit shocked with Airi’s uproar. To be thinking that Airi care for her that much, she never knew the extent of Airi’s feeling for her could be this dramatic.

“Wait… what are you saying? Of course I’m not! I’m not that interested in Jurina. She’s just my classmate. You don’t have to worry a thing about her. That kiss was just an accident. Nee…Airin?”

“Ah! Did someone say my name?” The trio turns their attention behind them.

“Speak of the devil…” Airi mumbles loud enough to gain Jurina’s attention. Airi keeps her glare at Jurina albeit the girl is smirking, seeming not the least intimidated with Airi.

“Good morning, everyone~! Especially to you, Rena-chan…” Jurina turns her attention towards Rena with a dazzling smile. Seeing the shy girl, she was about to give a handshake to Rena when Airi beats her to it.

“Good morning to you too, Jurina-san…” Airi grasp Jurina’s hand with a firm grip. Not releasing their grips, both of them keeps their stare on each other with intimidating smiles shown on both faces.

“It seems like a good day today, isn’t it?”

“I guess so, if a certain puppy isn’t here…”

“Ah… you shouldn’t be cruel to animals. They’re adorable little creatures. Don’t you agree?”

Churi was about to agree when she felt a glare sent her way. Sensing trouble coming, Rena quickly comes in between them with Churi cowering behind her.

“Okay, that’s enough! Class is about to get started soon. We should head to our class now. Airin, we’re gonna have some talk after school today. You understand?”

“Yes…” Airi answers with a dejected face but changed 180 degrees as Rena pulls her for a hug. “It’s nice to have friends like you. I’ll see you later.” Rena steps away towards her class with Jurina following from behind.

“That Jurina girl… This is a bit troublesome, isn’t it?”

“Yeah… I suppose. Nonetheless, nothing can get in our way…” Both of them continue walking the other direction.

-      -      -

One of the Matsui can be seen diligently taking down notes from the lectures while the other is… entirely focusing her view to a certain goddess sitting right next to her, absolutely ignoring every sinlge word given from the teacher. To think that Rena is not aware would be an understatement. The way that Jurina is looking at her right now might actually give goose bumps to others but the fact is that Rena actually enjoyed the attention she received. The actions had been going on for more than a week that Rena had grown accustomed with the puppy’s behavior.

“Jurina, you should take down the notes. This might come out in the exams.”

“I can’t…”

“Why is that?”

“You’ve been running crazily in my head, there’s no way I could study anything.” Jurina answered smoothly with a playful grin.
Rena lowered her heated face, covering them with her hair.

This is the first time she had ever heard something cheesy from Jurina. All this while, Jurina was keeping her distance from her; only manage to give a smile or a wave from afar, especially if Airi is present. Even when being seated beside each other, Jurina would only ask her about school works and lectures. Maybe she is feeling guilty for pouncing on Rena suddenly on the first day of their meeting, only to feel remorse for taking Rena’s first kiss after Mizuki’s revelation on the same day. Not to mention the slap she received afterwards. OUCH! That still hurts…

However, Jurina is starting to get bolder day by day seeing that Rena wants to end their awkwardness of being seatmates and wanted to start anew. And thus, this is the result of their bonding.

“Ah! My heart!” Jurina clenched her left chest where her heart is located.

“Eh?! What’s wrong?”

“My heart stops beating… when I see your lovely face.” Rena’s face gains more color from Jurina’s teasing. She can’t stop herself from smiling amusingly from Jurina’s cheesy lines. This gives another idea for Jurina.

“I feel bad for the sun…”

“Really? Why?”

“Only seeing your stunning smile just brightens up my day.” Rena can’t help but smiles widely from that. To think that Jurina can entertain her that day with her pickup lines, she can’t help but to ask openly. “Are you flirting with me?”

Not hesitating at all, Jurina answers truthfully, “What if I am?” Rena was startled, her mouth hanging open. Seeing Rena’s action, Jurina chuckles silently.

“Too bad though… Airin won’t let me put a move on you.” Jurina pouted cutely. If they’re not in class right now, Rena would surely squealed seeing that adorable pout.

It’s a wonder for Rena on how Jurina can make her comfortable even if they had just met not more than a week. Usually Rena would be her shy self in front of others that are not acquainted to her, only joining the conversation if the other side is the one starting it. Even Airi and Churi took almost a month to break Rena’s shell. Perhaps, she and Jurina had met before in another life? For them to bear the same surname, that could be logical.

“Oh, by the way, that red scarf you always wear, it looks good on you, Rena-chan.” Jurina mentioned seeing Rena is always wearing the red scarf with the winter nearing.

“Really? Thank you! To be honest, it wasn’t mine actually. I just found it on top of me when I was dozing off somewhere.”

“EHH?? Seriously? Might be a stalker who left it…”

“I think so too at first. But that scarf really makes me feel warm and comfy. I’m glad someone left it for me though.”

“Heeeh… then you should take proper care of it.”

“Of course! That’s why I’m wearing it every day!” Rena’s enthusiasm brought a smile on Jurina’s face. Somehow, Jurina was pleased and feeling a bit giddy with Rena’s response. If only Rena would examine the red scarf thoroughly, she would find something familiar in her dreams...

-      -      -

Tch! That new girl. She does looks like trouble.

Hikage was lazing on one of the branches of the tree outside the window, keeping an eye for Rena with that… What was her name? Jyuu..Juri.. Ah! Jurina. Matsui Jurina… Even if the girl seemed harmless, but that’s not an excuse for Hikage to drop her guards down. Lately, there’s no sighting for Mazokus activity around that area. It really creeps her out with the way things are going right now. Everything was back to normal. In fact, too normal for her to not feel relieved with any of this.

Nevertheless, she does sense someone snooping around in the dark around their house, perhaps trying to find a way to break the seal Hikage puts around the vicinity. Every time she tries to approach the figure, it quickly vanished; blending its scent with the air. Quite a nice trick for a stalker. Trying to conclude everything, Hikage tried to relate the werewolf incident with anything that had happened on that single day.

I have to watch out for that Jurina. She might be related to the Mazoku. Not to mention she’s trying to get attached to Hime-sama from the first day. The nerve… Even Hikage was furious seeing the scene. She was about to slice Jurina with her shuriken when her conscious tells her to calm down and think rationally. Wait till I get my hands on you, kid…

Hikage keeps her eyes fix on Jurina, somehow feeling rather nostalgic seeing the girl’s eyes. Her mind drifted to her once partner in crime. Both of them were taken by Matsui Yuu into the clan to be his apprentice and to serve his family as a ninja. They came from different places, but because of their affection towards the Matsui leader, both managed to understand and live with each other like sisters. They were trained just like the others; disciplined like a soldier, treated like a man, sparring like a fighter. They were deemed as the best among the best of Matsui’s clan, to the point where Hikage was given the responsibility to protect the young princess, Matsui Rena. Her partner was assigned the task to protect Matsui Yuu’s wife.

But one fateful night brought disaster for the Matsui clan. The Matsui leader’s wife died one night from a dreadful occurrence. Only a few people know about the tragedy. An order had been given for those who knew must not spill them from their mouth or else their tongue will be cut on the spot. Hikage’s partner was put into custody as she is suspected to have been involved with the treason. But because of her attachment and loyalty to the Matsui leader, she was put under Hikage’s observation for the trials. However, another tragedy occurred; the massacre of the Matsui clan 10 years ago. That was when Hikage had been separated from her partner. The last she had seen of her was when she was stabbed by the Mazoku’s right man; Daichi. After that, her partner’s whereabouts was unknown. Whether she is dead or alive, Hikage never knew. She had given up hope searching for her 5 years ago. Thinking that girl Jurina to bear resemblance with her partner, that’s really impossible.

Tell me, Jurina…You’re not the bad guy, aren’t you?

-      -      -

That night, a hooded person was hiding behind a tree outside the Matsui’s household. She had managed to break free through the seal surrounding the house after the nth times of trial and error. She can see one of the rooms glowing with light, indicating the inhabitant is still awake. Jumping above one of the trees, she landed on a branch near the window with the best view of the opposite room. Inside, she can see Rena reading a book. Haaa… KAWAII! Just as she was about to get comfy, a voice sounded from behind.

“You’re trespassing on my tree…” she held her breath as she felt something sharp poking at her back. She tried to find some opening to escape from the grasp. “Mind sharing it…?”

“Not in my life!” Just as Hikage was about to pull the hood to reveal the person underneath it, the trespasser quickly jumps away to gain some distance from the ninja. “Catch me…If you can~” She leaps away towards another tree, trying to escape from her pursuer. To think Hikage would let her go, she won’t as this person was the same that was loitering about the neighborhood trying to break through her seal. She had to know who it is.

Jumping through the trees, it definitely looks like Hikage is on the lead as she is more familiar with the surroundings. The person looks back, sensing Hikage is not on her tails. However, as she turns to the front, she was shocked to be met with a kick right on her gut. The hooded person falls down hard on the ground. That was one hard kick. She was about to regain composure when Hikage appeared in front of her. Without wasting time, the ninja swiftly pulls down the hood.

“HUH??”

Hikage found out that the hooded person was indeed a girl, only now there is a mask covering her lower face.
“Gotcha!” The girl landed a punch on Hikage’s face but was swiftly avoided. She landed more punch and kick towards Hikage only to get countered back easily. It was as if Hikage could predict her moves, the same goes for the other girl. Their movements were like a rhythm. It has been a long time for Hikage to feel the excitement of sparring like this. Analyzing the patterns of her fighting styles, Hikage could conclude that this is indeed the long lost fighting skills of her lost partner.

It can’t be…

Aiming for the mask, Hikage quickly avoids another punch to her face. Pulling the hand on mid-air, she grabs the collar of her attacker. But the other is faster; she expertly twists her arms to release it from her pursuer hold and jumps away to create some distance between them. Unfortunately, Hikage managed to snatch away the scarf that was wrapped loosely on the other’s neck. Hikage’s eyes widen as she inspect the scarf thoroughly. If one to look carefully, it has a silver lining surrounding it with a small fire insignia seamed at the end. She raised her head to be met with the other’s glaring eyes. She could see the fiery flames emanating from them resembled her partner. Suddenly, the girl pointed her fist towards Hikage. Knowing exactly what to do, Hikage also raises her fist to the front.


“Jan…” the girl voiced out,


“Ken…” followed by Hikage,


“PON!”


Both of them yelled with hands showing paper.
Surprised with the outcomes, they look into each others’ eyes with excitement.












“CENTER?!” “NOBU?!”

CHAPTER 7A





RING RING! RING RING!


“Ugh… seriously?! It’s 2 in the morning! I need my beauty sleep for Kami’s sake!”

A hand wandered around the bed, trying to reach for the ringing thing. Once she gets a hold of the gadget, the owner practically slammed the screen with her finger, answering the call.

“This better be important than a squirrel making a face right-…!”

The information from the caller made Akarin’s heart goes frenzy. Bloods keep pumping along the veins, her head screaming for an escape plan. Akarin immediately jumped on her feet, already wearing her maid outfit in case for any emergencies such as this. She hastily scrambled towards the door, her mind only focusing on one person.

“Alright, Hikage. I’ll take care of Rena…”

Akarin runs out of her room after ending the call.





- - - - - -





“You’re still the same, Center. As careless as always…”

“WHAT? How would I know they were going to come?”

“You SHOULD have found the reason I set that particular seal around the house!”

“Then you shouldn’t have followed me in the first place!”

“If you didn’t act as a stalker then I wouldn’t have ran after you! WATCH OUT!”

Jurina barely missed the kunai that was being thrown towards a black creature that was about to pounce on her.

“WHOA! Nice throw!”

“I was aiming for your loud mouth actually…”

“HEY! Meanie…”

They are both fighting some kind of monkey creatures that appeared around the Matsui house in courtesy of Jurina’s recklessness of breaking the seal earlier. They were just about to catch up on each other when Hikage sensed the Mazokus nearing the vicinity of the house she had always guarded. As a result, they are now trying to fend off those creatures from entering the house. Hikage quickly rushed to the house with Jurina in tow while informing Akarin on the situation.

“You still remember how to kill them?” Hikage takes out one of her short blade, the steel gleams in white as if being polished by the moon’s glow.

“Yeah… they can only be killed by using the Light seal technique.” Jurina prepares some shurikens on her hands that are also glowing with the same light as she had done the seal earlier.

“Good. It looks like we’re going to be partners again, Center.”

“Heeeh… I’ve been waiting for a looong time for that, Nobu.” Jurina replied with a playful voice as if she was smirking under the mask.

Both of them stand with their backs on each other, readying themselves for the attack. The creatures slowly approach them from all directions, sounds of eerie growling getting louder and deeper.

“Cover me, Center.”

Just as Hikage steps forward, Jurina quickly jump upwards while throwing the shurikens directly towards her target.

“Bull’s-eye.”

All of her shurikens were accurate as each one of them hit the creatures directly on their marks, killing them instantly in one throw. Meanwhile, Hikage runs forward towards the hordes of creatures. With a slash, Hikage managed to strike down three of them. Even with a short blade, Hikage’s speed is so fast that she is able to slash as many targets as she wants with one full swing. With both of their forces combine, the have the perfect team for a short and long distance attack especially when facing countless enemies.

They keep on attacking the creatures with Jurina assaulting from afar and Hikage running around the creatures like lightning while killing them off. However, they notice the creatures are not decreasing in numbers. They keep on coming on after another even when they had dealt with the one they counted earlier.

“They keep on coming more! I can tell you, Nobu… Even if I’m actually quite thrilled with this fight but it’s getting longer and dull, it’s making me sick.”

“The host. They are controlled by a host! He should be near…” Hikage scans her surroundings as she found a tree with yellowish leaves. The appearance of the host must have made the tree loses its essence as he emanates dark aura from his body.

“There!” 

Following the direction Hikage pointed, Jurina swiftly leaps forwards before throwing two shurikens towards the tree.

“Ugh! Damn it…”

Just as the shurikens hit the target, the monkey creatures surrounding them instantly vanished into thin air. Jurina and Hikage hurriedly rushed towards the host only to see a face with a smirk.

“Heh… It took you long enough to find me.” The hooded host, one of Mazoku’s henchmen, announced loudly with intimidating smile on his face.

“Oh, we don’t feel the rush or need to find you actually… right, Center?”

“Yup. It’s been a long time since I last had a warm up like this.”

The host clenches his fists, feeling aggravated and irritated with their easy going attitude and insulting remarks.

“Why you…! Wait until you see my power!”

The host chants some words while performing hand seals. The wind starts blowing strongly like some hurricane about to pass through. Dark red-blackish glow begins to surround his being before a scream being let out.

“What the…”

“Now this is new.”

The host is now covered in fur with fangs protruding from his mouth. His eyes are glowing bright red with horns growing on his forehead. His face retorted into some kind of a gorilla, one could say he was actually a Demon King Kong in the making.

Jurina is in awe that she just had to make a pun…

“Holy monkeys… are we in Holly-wood?”





- - - - - -





Two girls are seen in a brightly lit room with the owner laid confusingly on her bed while the other is standing beside the door like a British guard on a look out with a broom in hand.

Rena is thrashing around on her bed with a pillow on her face, trying to block the lights from blinding her vision. She grunts as sleepiness flew away like some thin air as Akarin suddenly knocked on her bedroom door, insisting on her sleeping with the lights on while the maid accompanies her tonight.

“Hey, Akarin…”

“Yes, Rena-chan!”

Akarin answered like a fully fledged soldier replying to her sergeant. Rena might have burst out laughing if only the situation is not confusing and weird as of right now.

“Okaaay… something smells’ fishy.”

“That’s your feet, Rena-chan. Didn’t I told you to wash your feet before you sleep?”

Rena glances on her feet, trying to sniffs them but refrain as she snaps back to her thoughts.

“NO! I mean… what’s going on, Akarin? You’ve never come storming in here in the middle of the night. Moreover, with you standing on guard with a broom at the door… There’s definitely something!”

Akarin takes a deep breath. She is contemplating whether she should make another out of the world story or telling Rena the absolute truth. She takes a glance on Rena. The younger face is full of anticipation; she just can’t break the girl’s heart anymore.

“Honestly, Rena… There is-”


CREAK...


Akarin stops mid-sentence. A creak sound was heard from the hallway outside the door. She plants her ear on the door surface, trying to make out the sound she just heard. Her eyes widen as she heard sounds of footsteps nearing. Then, the sound stops… just in front of the door. Realizing what’s about to come, Akarin leaps backwards with her broom in a defensive stance.

“Rena! Don’t move! Just stay there!”

“What? What’s going on? What is it?!”

“Just listen to what I said, Rena!”

“But-“


BAM!


The door slammed open. Akarin and Rena gasped. The hallway was too dark compared to the room that their eyes can barely make out a silhouette of a person standing outside. They both held their breath, waiting for whatever that is to come. A black shoe appeared, followed by another. A figure clad in black hood emerged from the hallway, standing proudly in front of Akarin.

“Wh- Who are you?!” Akarin shouted with trembling voice. She could feel her heart about to jump out from its place as it beats furiously.

After 5 seconds of deafening silence, a ghostly grin of white teeth appeared from the hooded person’s face.

“Hehehe… Me?” The figure approach Akarin in a threatening manner still with a grin visible.

“I…



...am your worst nightmare! HAHAHAHAHA!”

The figure laughed loudly, terrifying both girls in the room. Akarin can see from the corner of her eyes as Rena flinched and trembles under the cover of her blanket. She gulps loudly; her hold on the broom tightens. Akarin braces herself for whatever fate she and Rena are about to face tonight.

CHAPTER 7B




Akarin keeps her gaze towards the man in black. His sickening grin makes her blood boils as if taunting her.

“Hahaha! A girly maid is trying to protect the princess? With a broom too? Are they trying to prank me or something… Don’t joke with- GAH!”

Before the man could finish his talk, Akarin had made the first assault; by giving a strong kick straight on his balls.

“Don’t mess with a Darth Maid, dude.” Akarin glares, her eyes burning with flames. No one messess with a maid and a broom. No one. The man tried to keep his posture albeit the pain on his middle.

“DAMN YOU! You’ve ruin my future!”

“I don’t think you’ll have any future left… after THIS!”

Akarin swings her broom wildly, hitting the man continuously in different places. But the man dodged every single hit with ease. Akarin keeps on giving hits after hits, trying to find an opening. The man smirks as he grab hold of the broom just a few inches in front of his face. However, Akarin has a few tricks under her sleeves.

“Heh… such a feisty maid. But now that I got you, what are you going to do- URGH!”

The broom handle elongated with a press on a hidden button, hitting the man squared on his face.

“You talk way too much I’m getting sick of it…”

The man holds his face with wide eyes. This maid is not joking! She really can fight!

“What… what is that thing? That’s not a normal broom!”

“This broom is specially made to fight people like you! Behold! The Suda Lightning Bind Majestic Broom!”

He keeps on trembling with a shocking face, only for it to change back into a smirk.

“T-that… that… is quite hilarious! HAHAHA!” He stands straight with a menacing glare directed to Akarin.

“To think a girl like you can fight, it’s entertaining to say the least. But I’m running out of time… I’ll finish you before I take away the princess….Hehehe… HAHAHA!”

“Akarin!” Rena shouted from the other side of the room, afraid of what's going to happen.

“It’s okay, Rena… I can handle this.”

The man begins chanting undecipherable words with hand seals. The atmosphere turns dark with a foul smell beginning to fill the air. Akarin wasted no time as she also performs the Lightning Seal onto her broom, making it glow with bright light.

The guy turns into a weird slimy creature, with steams of smelly odor evaporating from his body. His face is contorted, his nails become longer and scales covered his skins.

“Man… what are you?!”

The slimy man quickly charges towards Akarin, slicing his long nails along her clothes. Akarin just barely evades the attack.

“Akarin! Are you okay?!”

“I’m fine! Just stay-ARGH!”

The creature pounced on Akarin as she gave her attention to Rena for a split second. He opens his crooked mouth, showing those sharp teeth as he tried to gnaw on Akarin’s head. A few drops of his saliva fell down on the ground just beside Akarin’s ears, melting the floor with like some hazardous acid.

“You’re kidding me! He smells… and he has acid drools?! EWWW!” Akarin mutters loudly while still trying to block the mutated guy from snapping her neck in half. With all her strength, the maid pushes him with both legs, knocking him over the floor. She quickly gets up and swings her broom.


THWACK!


“GRRRR!” Feeling annoyed, the man sways his hands wildly and managed to scratch Akarin’s hand.

“ARGH!” The wound bleeds profusely. Akarin hissed in pain as she holds her arm. The man seizes this time to kick Akarin, sending her flying to the wall. Not giving any time for the maid to recover, he gives out a punch directly to her stomach, resulting in Akarin coughing uncontrollably. Blood can be seen flowing from her mouth...

“GRAAAH!” Having enough of the maid, the slimy man turns his attention towards Rena who is cowering on her bed behind the sheets. He treads heavily towards Rena; his foul smell making the princess gags as she puts a hand to cover her mouth and nose. Tears can be seen flowing out uncontrollably from Rena’s eyes. She’s scared to death. Suddenly, she felt something odd inside her... It’s the same as before. The same pounding in heart tries to get out, screaming for freedom. Her vision begins to be clouded with redness as a deep voice tells her one thing.



Let me out!
 


However, before the man can lay a hand on Rena, a long steel punctured through his gut. He howls in pain as the steel glows brightly, signaling a direct hit on his Mazoku mark. The man vanishes into thin air, revealing a heavily wounded Akarin who is holding the broom. She gives a smile towards Rena, making the young girl calms a bit and her vision returning normal.

“Told you I can handle this…”

Rena steps down from her bed to assist Akarin. However, before she could reach the maid, a force makes both of them flew away from each other.

“Not so fast, girls…”

Another hooded figure with a girl’s voice appeared in front of them.

“Now that you’re taken care of, may I take the princess away…?”





- - - - - -






“CENTER!!!”

Jurina was thrown onto a nearby tree by the Demon Gorilla. They’ve combined forces to defeat the hideous monkey but it is too powerful as they fight recklessly. Well, they've just met after years of being separated so their synchronization is a bit messed up at the moment. Can't blame them...

“Gosh… that hurts like hell! I think this is gonna sore tomorrow…” Jurina grumbles as she picks herself up from the ground.

“Quit whining… If you were a bit serious, we could’ve hit his mark on the neck.”

“Tch. Now I have a sister who acts like an old hag…”

“Hey, you love this old hag…”

“Is that a self-proclamation of love? Awww… SHO SHWEEET~!”

“Shut up! Anyway, his attacks are strong, but lack of speed. We need a plan…” Hikage keeps on distracting the gorilla, running around in circles with some kunai thrown on her target while Jurina sits on the ground crossed leg, thinking of a way to crush this fury guy. Her eyes twinkled as the cogs in her brain finished working.

“GOT IT!”

“What?”

“Got any rope?”

“Err… I think so. Hold on... Here!”

“Good. Hey, furball! Catch me!”

“Huh? Oh… I think I know what this is…”

“Hehehe… let’s play like old times!”

Both Jurina and Hikage keep on jumping from one tree to the other, one would distract the gorilla while the other holds the rope. They keep on repeating the process, making the gorilla irritated as if they were playing with him. The gorilla stops following them and stand still in one place, keeping an eye on Jurina.

“EEEP! He’s looking at me!”

“Be careful… he’s planning something.”

Just as Jurina landed on a tree, the gorilla opens his mouth, releasing a supersonic shockwave. He missed Jurina by a mere centimeter but the damage it did can be fatal as the force made a hole on the innocent tree.

“What was that?!” Jurina exclaimed in shock as she wraps her hands around her body, trying to calm herself from the vibrating force of the shockwave.

“Apparently he can shoot shockwave from his mouth. Be careful not get in front of him…”

“Heeeh… I’ll try. Now, we just need to taunt him a little.”

“Let’s go!” Hikage jumps towards the gorilla, slashing him on his hand as Jurina distract him from the other side. The gorilla screams as Hikage wounded him. Suddenly, he began stomping his hands on the ground in repetitive manner. The shock caused a small earthquake, making both of them thrown away. The gorilla runs toward Jurina as he had targeted her for mocking him from the beginning. He swore he would finish her first... Jurina stays on the ground, waiting for him to get closer.


“NOW!”


Jurina sprints her way towards the gorilla as if trying to commit suicide. The gorilla speeds up, anticipating on crushing the girl in a stampede. But Jurina had other plans. She slides through the opening of his feet, making her way across. Confused, the fury guy turns his attention to the back but something got caught on his feet. It was the rope that both ninjas had played just then. They were passing around the rope while looping it on a tree to make a trap for the gorilla. Unable to control his balance, he falls down face first onto the ground.

“YOSH! Take this!”

Hikage immediately jumps down from one of the tree, stabbing the gorilla on his neck. Her blade glows brightly as the gorilla yells in agony before dematerializing like the others.

"Rest in peace..." Hikage muttered as some sort of respect for the dead innocent soul...

Suddenly, Jurina falls down the ground. Alarmed, Hikage rushed to her side afraid if she was hurt during their battle.

“Center! Hey, Center!  Are you okay? What’s wrong? Hey, don’t die on me!”

Jurina just lay on the ground motionless. Hikage shook her countless of times, worried evidence in her eyes. Tears starts to brims on the corner of her eyes when a grumbling sound could be heard.


“Hey… I’m hungry…”


Jurina whined while rubbing her stomach. Biting her lower lip to refrain her anger, Hikage bumps her knuckle on the kid’s forehead.

“Sheesh, Center… You’re still the same kid from back then…”

“Hahaha! That was fun!”

However, a clapping sound could be heard from one of the trees.

“It was fun indeed… But this is only the beginning!"

“You… you’re not a host. Who are you?!” Akarin demanded after sensing the aura coming from the figure is slightly different from the one she just fought with.

“You don’t have to know. I’m just here to pick up my princess…”

The figure stride towards Rena but Akarin blocks her way by grabbing the figure’s foot. The figure merely gazed onto Akarin’s eyes as the maid was thrown abruptly on the wall. Strings of papers that had appeared out of thin air constraint her limbs keeping her hanging on the wall. Akarin struggled to release herself but the more she fights the grip of the papers tightens, making her scream in pain.

“Now, now… I don’t want to use any force. Let’s just go back in a peaceful way, okay princess?”

On the other hand, Rena is fighting with her inner self. The pounding feeling comes back as she watches Akarin being thrashed around helplessly. The voices keeps getting louder and stronger, chanting the same words all over again. Her reddening vision darkens in each passing seconds.


Let me out…

Let me out!

LET ME OUT!


Rena lets out a scream as her eyes become bloodshot red. She lashes out on the hooded figure but she just stands there unfazed, waiting for Rena to come closer. With a single knock behind her head, Rena becomes quiet. She fainted on the figure’s hold.

“Just in time…”

“L-let… go… of Rena…” Akarin gathers all her strength to produce the words. By now, the maid is in a worse condition she could’ve fainted anytime. Instead of following Akarin’s request, the figure only snaps her fingers before releasing the maid and disappearing with a knocked out Rena in hand. Only pieces of cut out papers remained…

Akarin just stares on the last spot Rena was last seen before she fainted, collapsing on the ground.

“What do you mean?!” Jurina keeps her front while Hikage is thinking of something. She is definitely sure she had encountered the air emanated from this person before…

“The school… That was you, wasn’t it?!”

The figure laughs dryly. She jumps down from the tree to approach them…

“Well… the one who did that wasn’t me but the idea was mine. Brilliant, right?”

“Brilliant, my cute ass! You could’ve injured thousands of innocent lives!” Jurina lashes out. She was about to jump on the figure but Hikage holds her down.

“Don’t… we don’t know her powers.”

“Yup. Your partner is right. Besides, I’m not here to fight… We’ve already got what we needed. So, see you later!”

“Wait! What are you saying?”

“Hmmm~ Let’s just say… this battle was only a distraction for getting our most wanted princess.”

Hikage and Jurina look on each other, knowing what the figure implied on.

“You mean…?!”

“Why don’t you check for yourself? I’ve got more important things to do than talking with two dimwits. Toodles~”

“HEY, WAIT!”

The figure jumps upward as a huge bird flew down from the sky. She lands perfectly on top of the bird before flying above both Jurina and Hikage, making them duck down in safety. No words were exchange between them as both of them swiftly turns around with distress and anticipation present in both faces. They rushed through the trees towards one destination in mind; Matsui Rena’s house.
