[ Y/n’s Point of View ]
I trail past Ei as she insist that i must take the front for the sake of her paranoia of who knows what i might have done if i was behind. Surely nothing good will come out if you leave me open behind you. But, alas as much as my hands are ever eager to be at your neck i fear that i lack the power to do so, if it wasn’t for the battle we had inside your little domain i could have atleast saved myself some extra trouble. Far than it is worth.
I sigh now arriving at where furuyuma was, but to my confusion he is nowhere in sight.
“Where have he been? He surely did not go to fetch tea himself, did he?”
“Or perhaps the leyline did not have the power to sustain him for very long. As for the case with the memory we saw earlier.” She replies my retort assuring the rest of my doubt.
“Ah, a pity i truly did had the high hopes of tasting his tea for one last time it seems-“
“Hm, i suppose for the old time’s sake perhaps i should try my hands at making us a pot of tea.”
For a moment i look at her in an utter doubt, not one bit convinced I’d trust that mighty hands of hers for that alone is the reason that had cut me deep. May, what if i end up with poison this time. Ah well, i suppose it won’t hurt to try, thanks to the doctor I’d say i have much an immunity to poison.
“I’d be happy to be a guest for once.” I mutter looking away as she began pouring to tea in both cups, a though she began earlier ago it is, as if she didn’t need my permission to do so. Ah, prideful as usual.
. . .
“The tea is ready.. give it a try.”
… “Hmm.” I hum as i take one sip, not fearing the risk of poisoning for that i know even if she had done it, I would have taken the chance to fake one.
. . . It’s not poisoned rather… Its bitter.. and sweet at the same time once it was swallowed. Ah, it brings rather some sort of vexation, followed with a nostalgic memory.
Hm, i shoot her a glance taking her tea.
“So many thoughts were racing in my head as i was brewing it. I….. I’m not sure how to explain it… Y/n… Just tell me how are you alive.”
She questions me as she puts down her cup of tea now looking at me with an eye that shows a thousand of questions that is yet to come.
“Hm… How persistence as usual. Ha, but do you think I’d simply tell you. Well, Let me give you a hint and guess the rest for yourself, you know who i work for correct? surely you’d know who i serve now and why.” I too put down the tea as soon as i finished speaking now crossing my arms staring at her.
“…. Although i do know who you work for but i can’t exactly put my finger on the exact reason… Not to mention this day have reminded me of so many people, too. Kitsun Saiguu, Makoto.. and all the other friends.. i am sure they are too familiar to as i am.”
. . . . . When did she became so sentimental… Ah for what do i care. She is right though.. Saiguu… And Makoto- …
“As for your sister, it wasn’t me who had done it.”
. . . “But the battlefield-“
“Whatever it is you thought! .. I didn’t do it! How can you blame me for something i haven’t even done as for i said that I’d rather have my own limbs severed in dice than take…” I grit my teeth not wanting to utter the word what i ought to be saying.
….. “I know…. Very well it was my mistake.. When i took Makoto with me and afterwards i had entered her mind upon her unconsciousness. And that i realized everything by her word alone and when i came back, you were nowhere to be seen.. i thought..
“Yes. You thought i was good as dead, Ei… You cannot possibly take back what was done.” I hiss, tempted to strangle her from this distance but fair enough, it would be futile to do so.
. . . . Silence followed after the debate none of us dared to utter the next word. Both of us staring from eye to eye simply waiting who takes the bait.
Before i could even open my mouth to speak, a noise interrupted the both of us, just about near by the cave, it was sure enough it is some rifthounds this time. Well Tsk- thanks to that it saves some trouble.
We both, had rushed our way towards the clashing sounds by time we arrived, the first thing we witnessed was of course rifthounds clawing down the root itself.
“I’ll take this alone.” I exclaim, summoning my polearm again in the aids of my pyro taking out one hound after another but i was interrupted at my 3rd chance to take the hit by Ei herself with her weapon slashing from my sides. Forceful in its movements as i glance. Ha, stubborn you can be when i had made myself clear I’d take these alone myself, or should i take you along aswell.
I turn swiftly using the other side of the of my polearm swung towards Ei herself and without a doubt she took notice, though it was a few millimeter seconds late.
*Clang*
“You dare play dirty when i am here aiding you.” She hisses.
“I didn’t ask for help, go and stand your ground.” I bite back to her exclaims panted in her breath, from the looks of it. It is clear enough that she is not well.
Tsk- since i am still a warrior of birth i might atleast keep my duty in mind back to its priority.
I lean forward in a haste, blocking the claw from landing besides Ei herself. And without a thought she had actually took notice of it. Both of our polearms clashed to each other. Disorderly from doing so, instead i move my lower body to kick the hound down the ground.
“I didn’t need you to defend that for me.”
“… I wasn’t defending you. You… Were too late to take notice, a few millimeter too late… ! Ugh get off.” I groan with my polearm stuck against her own. Tsk- The fight is far from over. I’m unfortunate to be tied down with her… Like to hell as if I’d let go of my own weapon in a place like this. Fine, since… I’ve trained enough, far enough to put my footing in its proper use.
I grab her by the shoulder with a smirk on my face. Her expression was but utterly puzzled and i didn’t have the time to even enjoy it. I pull her towards me leading through the hounds behind with my free hand holding to her as if it is my dear life. And there i kick, just with enough force to send a pair down the ground.
“Must you insist battling with this… Kind of method.. though i must admit you are strong by force and flesh alone. But i must tell you… let go of me.” Ei exclaims rather meekly and i couldn’t exactly tell is she growing dull or simply nervous, as if a god could ever be nervous with a mortal as i.
“I am not letting go of my weapon either, will you.” I immediately say to her exclaims. I could tell she is looking at me in annoyance though i did not need to turn my head and glance since I’m am too fixated on kicking the damn hound.
“Fierce as always. Y/n. Aggressive by method alone. Hmm let’s see how can you take this-”
Before i could even guess by what she meant i was met by her embrace of her long slender arm. Tightly hung from my nape, her face as close to mine. It left me bewildered. I couldn’t tell what is she thinking nor what she is up to.
I groan. “You-” i was interrupted with our weapons being forcefully tossed aside as obvious it is by her. She pull me taking the lead using my damn back as a shield to the wall just behind me. She haste to turn using her arm with the aids of Electro that struck the hounds from her behind.
. . . .
. . . .
Panting in my breath both of us fierce in our eyes gazing at each other in a strain. Her grip remained at my shoulder alone so does mine in her wrist. Threatening her not to do a thing.
“I swear… You are full of surprise.” I say through gritted teeth.
“The same goes for you, although i couldn’t very much put it well but, you are far from your own change perhaps this is an improvement it seems.” She exclaims through raised brow. After for a moment she backs down finally for once letting me go.
“You don’t look well. But alas if my polearm hadn’t been stuck with yours i could’ve pinned you down along the ground.”
I say with a huff and out of sudden unknown samurais started to appear. About 3 grown men and i could tell they alone are in my group. Is this some sort of another illusion..?
