Nephalem

Nephalem Chapter 7

(I DO NOT OWN THE ART, CTTO FOR THE ART)

~CONTINUATION~

After the training then they went back to the House of Samurai Association and take a break time.

Oda, the superior of the Samurai Association. He was sitting on his desk, thinking about what happened earlier, he was quite impressed and still stunned how fast Lara was. He thought of something what if he'll ask her to join the group.

On the other hand, Miyamoto and Lara were sitting on the floor of the room of the Samurai Association, eating some foods cause it was the Samurai's break time and the people there (Samurais). Lara was eating slowly, calm as always while staring at Miyamoto while Miyamoto was eating so fast like he hadn't eaten in his life and finished after then he looks at Lara as he noticed Lara staring at her. He patted her head as he chuckled.

"Is there something wrong, Lara?" Miyamoto spoke to her in a goofy and active tone.

"Nothing, you eat so fast." Lara responded in a calm tone.

"Does that really bothered you? Just eat well. I was just hungry and I always eat like that. Don't worry." Miyamoto responded back as he chuckled when he found Lara's words funny.

Lara then looked away as she slowly eat the food, she thought eating is useless since she doesn't felt hungry at all, she only eats cause Miyamoto says so.

After the break time, Oda called out for Lara. The two were surprised by that and was curious why as they proceeded to go the Oda's office. After they arrived back there, Oda as seen sitting on his desk, he seemed calm and serious as always.

"Is there something you need, Superior Oda?" Miyamoto asked politely as he was curious.

"Just wanna ask Lara something." Oda responded calmly as he turned his attention to Lara.

Lara was curious and surprised to know yet her demeanor remained calm and aloof as she stared at him. She was silent and waiting for Oda's question for her.

"I would like you to join in our group, in this Samurai Association, would you accept it?" Oda asked to Lara curiously in a serious tone.

Lara was surprised and Miyamoto as well and he was quite excited and curious to know what will Lara's answer.

"Okay." Lara responded back in a calm tone with her cold and aloof demeanor.

Oda was surprised and glad that she accepted that calmly and looking cold just like that but it doesn't matter now. He just nodded and huffed a bit.

"Good, now you may leave now and proceed to your mission." Oda responded calmly.

Miyamoto was glad that Lara accepted it as he thought that the Samurai Association will be easy now for having a good samurai then they left the room. Miyamoto, Lara and the other 3 samurais that are included with them to finish the mission. They went to the forest as they thought that demons will show up at this place then suddenly many demons showed up as they dashes towards the samurais but then they reacted as they dodges the attack and started slashing off the demons with their katanas, it was bloodied, Miyamoto and the other 3 samurais got some scratches and wounds from the demons that attacked them but they were able to defeat some few demons. On the other hand, Lara was fighting and had killed many demons that it impressed them. The demons was different from what Miyamoto had fought from where he lived, this demons are from the myths and common Japanese mythological demons while the demon that Miyamoto had fought from the other day was a looking like a biblical-demon (Looking like grim reapers yet it had a bat-like wings, it's weapon is a scythe and it's clothe barely covered it's body as it was ripped but not too much).

After an hour they have finally finished, the other 3 samurais were unconscious cause of the wounds that they got but Lara healed them after and let them get some rest for a bit as they were sleeping (don't worry, those 3 samurais didn't knew that Lara healed them with a power), Miyamoto had some wounds as well and a bit scratches but he's still conscious since he's not that injured. Lara healed Miyamoto after that as well, as the samurais were taking some rest as Lara looked around for a bit to check if there's any demons left, suddenly some demons attacked Lara, she felt a strong aura from them as she thought these demons are different from the demons she had fought a while ago. These are like the demons that Miyamoto had fought before. She slashed the demons one by one in a blink of an eye as she moved so fast and finished them off. It was brutal and bloodied as she got covered with blood, Miyamoto was surprised and impressed by how good Lara at this.

Lara walked towards Miyamoto as Miyamoto stared at her still stunned and impressed.

"Let's get out of here." Lara spoke calmly in a cold tone.

Miyamoto quickly nodded as he carried the other one samurai onto his back and Lara carried the other two samurais onto her shoulders then left the place.

After they got back to the Samurai Association and left their other comrades there as they left the place.  They went back to their home as the two were now standing at the door beside each other as it was night and the moon was shining. Miyamoto thought of something to say then he looked at Lara, seeing Lara was so calm and he couldn't lie, Lara is honestly beautiful as he thought. It was awkward for him to speak as it was silent between them.

"Those demons earlier, that you have fought.." Lara spoke, breaking the silence.

Miyamoto got surprised by her words as he calmed down himself and thought about what she said then chuckled a bit as he scratches the back of his head.

"Oh those demons? Yeah, they are the same.. I often see them now, I haven't fought a demon like these before you came.. That's just a coincidence." Miyamoto responded in a calm and a bit of goofy tone.

Lara thought about it, she's trying to remember if those demons have connections with her since she knew she's a Nephalem but she couldn't remember what truly happened to her. (Previously her memories got erased)

"It wasn't a coincidence then if it's like that.. What's up with me then..?" Lara responded as she spoke calmly and lowers a bit her tone, making it sounded a bit whisper as she spoke.

Miyamoto stared at her, thinking bout what she said, might be that she's the reason why these demons appeared so sudden whenever she is and of course cause she is a Nephalem (Angel-Demon Hybrid) as he thought. He's starting to think that Lara must've be worried about these as he patted her head and gave her a warm smile.

"Don't worry too much, I'm sure this will be solve, soon.." Miyamoto responded cheerfully.

Lara stared at him, she was surprised, indeed his smile is so warm that it softened and melted her heart as she just nodded slowly.

"Sure.." Lara replied shortly in a calm tone.

The moon shined at them as the two were staring at each other that night, feeling different.
