Misono Sighs as he lays his back against the wall, while sitting in the hot springs " I never would have thought a outdoor bath could be so mice, but this is great, I'm having one put in at home as soon as I return" he said
" I meant to tell you, yuno and mahuri went out to do some investigating" Lily says
" Gah! what?! Their always going off!" Misono gets out while holding a towel to cover his lower half, but then slips " misono?" Lily calls out as the only sound that was heard, was a bucket falling
Time skip
The group sat around a table, everyone except lilac, who was sitting against the wall
" so tsubaki's plans were foiled again." Misono began " YOU IDIOTS! why do you keep going after him alone?! And why are you following his example?!" Misano hollered pointing his finger in mahuri then Yuno's face wildly.
Their eyes widened and looked up startled at his sudden yelling.
"Wha-"
"Your lucky Lawless was so strong! Dont you know what would have happens if you both walked into that trap without help?!" He continued to yell.
"I know, I'm sorry, but I had to, yuno went after him without telling anyone" her eyes squinted at him " don't try and get the arguments off you, you did the exact same thing!" she glared
" you had a ticket without telling us!" he countered
" what's it gonna do if I tell you! Only one of us could go, and besides, no animals allowed! They couldn't go in their animal forms! Or turn human and just waltz in without a ticket! And we only had one!"
" you could have been killed! And what about toto! He may be a familiar but he's still a bird!"
The others just looked at the two with poker faces, including the bird himself, and the familiars
" I'm a witch! I can defend myself! I'm not completely helpless! Plus no one can see him!"
" you could have used magic!"
" You want me to kill myself! My mana levels too low! Why do you think I was weak when protecting everyone after the battle against tsubaki's subclasses last time?!"
" I don't know!- a heads up would have been nice!" As the argument continued, hugh sighs " tetsu, please..." " I got it" he gets up
" well at least I let people know when I'm up to stuff!" Mahuri glared at her "I'm a witch preforming her simple tasks! what do you want from me?! I needed warn minene!" She glared back
" so it's too much trouble to tell someone when your out doing stuff in the middle of a war!?"
" what are you my mom?!?"
The two were head butting eachother, when suddenly both their heads were grabbed, and both heads were slammed against each others, not too hard to hurt....
.....
.....
.....
....
.....
.....
.....
But their lips ended up touching!
They were kissing!!!!!
Example
Both their eyes widened with bright red hue's
They pulled away from eachother, muffled screams, until they were unmuffled " what the hell?!?!?" They exclaimed
Stand by, brought to you by Yuno's adorable familiars
" okay! Geez! We're sorry okay!...." mahuri exclaimed while covering his mouth, and Yuno, deadpanning while her bangs covered her face ' that did not just happen....we did not just....' "by the way what happened to your head? "
Mahiru pointed to the ice pack on Misono's head that lily was holding on his head with some sort of fishing pole type thing.
" that's none of your concern" Misono blushed in embarrassment, crossing his arms
" misono's right, that could have been really bad" Hugh says, The two sighed and rubbed their heads
"It's not like I went there looking for a fight or anything" mahuri said " me either" Yuno turned her head ways
Mahiru looked over concerned, especially after licht played the piano that made them remember painful memories, he was worried about her after that event
"Regardless of your poor judgement, one of tsubaki's subclasses is a big win" Misano sighed glancing at Lilac
Yuno saw him hugging his knees tightly and watching us scared " Yuno did all the work actually" mahuri smiled sheepishly rubbing his head with the red hue still on his face " she actually stopped lawless from killing him"
" way to go Yuno, you got so much stuff done while shorty here was relaxing out in the hot spring " Tetsu spoke up looking at Misano.
Yuno let out a giggle, she watched as Misono went red with anger.
"Don't call me that you idiot!" Misono began to throw a small tantrum " I am not short, your just freakishly tall! Have some respect!" He then turned back to Lila
" anyway, I'm not so sure it's a good idea to have this subclass roaming around the inn so freely" the two were surprised " in fact, we should think about restraining him in some form or fashion"
"Wait, but lila's no trouble." Mahiru protested " oh, come on, Don't be so naive. He might be pretending to be weak so we let our guard down." Misono said
" maybe I am too trusting...heard that before" Mahiru muttered
"I'm not saying you shouldn't trust others, but you should keep all possibilities in mind"
"Before we do anything, we should get some info" Hugh says in bay form floating beside Lila " you'll be a good lad and tell us where tsubaki and his men are hiding, right?" Tetsu walked over, looking scary as hell "I mean, you don't have much of a choice, really"
He began feeling really scared
Yuno appears and pulls the kid close "Hey! Stop it guys! I think that's more than enough! Leave him alone, he's been through a lot today you can ask questions tomorrow! And nicely!" She exclaimed sternly like a mother would protecting their child
Tetsu back off obediently and turned to listen as Mahiru spoke
"Yeah, and Ive been thinking about all this."
" and?" misono asked " If tsubaki finds out that we have Lila, then isnt it possible he might come to us to save his subclass?" Mahuri questioned "huh...you think?"
Yuno in the meantime was trying to comfort Lila the best she could " for Just for onesubclass?" Misano asked doubtfully.
"Remember When we defeated Belkia on the street? Tsubaki shows up himself " Mahrui said "which was the first time that I met him, I'd thought he was there because he had some business with Kuro, but..." He trailed off and looked at the table as of he was deep in thought.
"I think he actually might've been there to make sure belkia was okay"
' he cares'
Flashback
"I can't betray him" what Sakuya said entered his mind " tsubaki was the only one. He reached out his hand to me"
Flashback end
"If one of your subclass children got taken, wouldn't you go and try to save them?" He asked
"Well yes, obviously I would... But its hard to believe that tsubaki would do that " Misano murmured watching as lilt turned in to a butterfly and fluttered around him.
" but you have to admit it's a possibility. Right Kuro?" He looked it his side to see his SerVamp missing "huh?" They all turned to the door opening and him walking out, Mahuri following " Kuro?"
Outside
" wait up!"As they walked outside, he was close to walking inside the tunnel ahead " hey, is everything okay?"
Suddenly he stopped and turned with a looked on his face that made me freeze mid step
' kuro's being weird, he hasn't been himself since lawless brought up that stuff from the past, I wonder...'
'what happened to you?'
'Who did you kill?'
' why did you kill him?'
'Did you agree with the majority vote?'
'To be or not to be?' Should I ask him? Or just leave him alone?....if we don't fix this rift, lawless will probably never work with us. And we need him.'
"Kuro! What happened when you guys?-"
Suddenly he began to ...melt in to the goo that came out the cats mouth when the group fought Sakuya.
Mahiru's eyes widened in fear and stepped back slightly "Never mind...let's go back, everyone's waiting."He tried to force himself to believe that It just his imagination
Suddenly he disappeared and all he saw was two shining blue lights in the darkness where he had been standing, Kuro came out in his cat form and let out an eerie meow
' lately I've been thinking a lot about what it means to have resolve...' Mahuri reluctantly turned and began heading back in to the inn with Kuro following, overlapping voices in his head 'back then, I still didn't know the meaning of the word'
Back at the inn
Yuno was in her rooms still bright red after what just went down, hiding in her blanket
Mio comes into the room " Yuno?" The door slides up and she hops over to the girl under the cover " what's wrong?"
" nothin..." her mistress says, but she knew it was a lie
" I can tell your lying...seriously, what's wrong?" She remains quiet, so Mio tests with saying " is it about kissing Mahiru during the meeting earlier?" She asked, and yunos muffled scream of embarrassment was all she needed to hear " yep..."
Meanwhile
Mahiru was going through the same thing, under the covers so no one would see his red face ' I kissed her!....I kissed her!....I kissed Yuno!....' he panicked inside his head while the guys apart from kuro (since he was already in the room him and Mahiru were sharing) Looked at him " what's up with him now?" Misono asked raising an eyebrow
" he's freakin out about kissing his high school crush, now he's speechless" Lily chuckled
" maybe that was a bad idea now that we see the results..." hugh sweatdropped
Later on
Outfit
Yuno walks outside with in her night dress while carrying banana bread while trying to calm herself down, and sees Lila sitting outside
"I'm really sorry about everything, I guess everyone's on edge" she smiled, handing a piece of her banana bread " want some?" as she plopped down next to him
"Uhm, yuno? Why are you going out of your way to take care of me, and being so nice to me and protecting me? I'm your enemy, and I'm just causing you more trouble" He said, and her looking honestly confused.
She stopped mid-bite and looked at him.
"Huh?"
"You even got in to a fight greed, For me.To make sure he didn't kill me. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it, but I don't know how to thank you, or if I should..."Lila mumbled eating the bread slowly.
"Tch. Every time I try to a conversation with him turns into a fight. That jerk doesn't know when to keep his damned mouth shut long enough for us to have a normal one. You say your my enemy, but it's not like I want to fight tsubaki, I just don't want anyone to get hurt, sure there are times when fighting the only option, but is killing each other isn't going to help anything or one" he laughed softly near the end of the small speech.
Lila cracked a small smile but other than that stayed quite
"That sounds nice..." Lila says " but in reality you're wrong" he said turning to her
" I don't wanna fly either....I guess I could thank you with some advice.... if and when you face tsubaki, make sure you watch out for higan..."
"Huh?.."
"He is the strongest and most dangerous of the sub classes..." Lila informed," ruthless and powerful. That's why he's teubaki's Number two man... there's also another man, I don't remember his name, but he's after you...." he says which her eyes widen
Her eyes gently shook in fear "no... it can't be..."
That night, she told mahiru what Lila told her, and asked him to look after Lila, toto and Tepo noticed their witch pain building up, pacing back and forth in her room, she grabs ahead and frustration trying to come up with an idea, she then collapses on her knees and despair softly crying,
Toto murmured something to teto, who squeaked and left the room the bird goes over and nuzzled his head against his owner
Mahuri walked out to get some fresh air with kitty Kuro, and just left to their room, he was about to follow until he heard squeaking and saw teto scurrying towards him
"Teto?" He muttered confused, he started jumping around crazy while squeaking which surprised the human " what's gotten into you?" Until he gasped and thought " is it Yuno?" He stopped squeaking like crazy and responded with a nod and small squeak, before scurrying back to the room Yuno was in
" Yuno!" He hurried there in a panic, immediately opening the door " are you okay?!" He then Gasped when he saw her on the floor crying while toto was petting her with his wing
He walked in slowly " Yuno?"
She lifted her head to him, and he gasped when he saw the expression on his face, along with the amount of tears on her face, and some that had slipped off her face
But most of all, she looked scared
He gently embraces her, letting her crying his arms, while her eyes widened, chin resting on his shoulder
" why are you?...."
" it's going to be okay"
she gasped slightly " i promised I'm going to protect you, and I won't back down on that promise" he said
" mahiru...." she says in shock
" if you want, you can stay with me, if it helps"
She gasped but nods, He just continued to hug her, while she clenched onto him
Next day
Yuno was still asleep, clenching onto him, Mahiru woke up groaning, picking up his phone and checking the time, which read 6:13 am 'it's way too early to be up... after everything that happened yesterday, and yunos state, I guess I got too much on my mind to sleep in' He yawned and put his phone back behind him
' Plus now I've got this dangerous guy Lila mentioned to worry about... At least we're getting more people on our side' he rubs his eyes from the sleep on this, he's turned his head to the side and noticed kuro wasn't in his futon, Maybe he was in Form under the blankets
" kuro? Did you not sleep at all?" He got up carefully, out of Yuno's arms, and lifted them up, but he wasn't there, but when he was about to walk out to find him, you found him and cat from lying outside the door " hey..."
Just done his phone starts ringing, he goes over picks it up and then answers "hello?-" a loud boomed " good morning!" A voice spoke loudly in to the phone, yuno woke up in the process " ahh what?!?" Wincing a bit Mahiru jerked the phone back from his ear " it's okay!" Mahiru assured, and let his ears recover before slowly bringing the small blue cell phone
"Sorry for calling so early, This is Kranz from yesterday"
Yuno was quickly Dressing herself and calling for her broomstick
"Licht' a manager?"
"I hate to bother you, but do you have any idea where Lawless is right now?" He asked worried, while getting dressed
Flashback
Kranz was sound asleep until he got a call, which came from licht, although he didn't sound very good," Dammit, where is that rotten hedgehog? he's not in your room, is he?" He asked
" no I haven't seen him since he walked out of the venue last night, is something wrong?" Kranz asked
" he's not in minene's room...and my body feels strange....heavy...."
Flash back end
Licht was limping down a street, he'd against a wall, he looked completely drained ' it's a struggle just to walk...' he thought ' this is what that stupid hedgehog was talking about...'
Remembering what lawless had told him, just then he heard " licht!" He turned around and saw a familiar girl with pink pigtails landing on a broom, then Running towards him " you are you?" He flinched turning red " I-I'll be fine" he said
Flash back
"You'll die if we stay separated for twenty four hours my angel of music, So always keep me close" the vampire chimed
"Why don't you shut up and die!" Licht growled while trying to kick him as he laughed
Flash back end
"I'm gonna murder him...just as soon as I can find him" he grunted, while yuno helped him walk
"The man you search for" a man that sounded slightly older began "Is so far beyond your reach it cannot be helped"
the two look aground to find the Voice came from " then flinched when feeling a presence behind them "Ah let's see your the ones I'm looking for right" the older sounding man says " it's is, Licht something and Yuno gasai-" licht moved quickly as the man sway his hand down, his head started bleeding
Yuno had already retreated to licht
"What the hell" he grunted
"Who are you?" She glared at the man,
"You little pet made a mistake, He put tsubaki in a terrible mood, And as a result" the man with the long red hair smirked, laughing a little "He sent me, I'm the old man who's now in charge of dragging you through total hell and bring the bride in" both gasped
"My dear pianist, Your wings will be torn from you, No fault of your own"
Time skip
Licht grunted while clenching his injured arm
"Why go through all this trouble, You could give this old man a break and come quietly, instead of resisting the inevitable"
"Your out of your mind....Tell us who you are!" Licht demanded while yuno held her glare
"Sure kids I'm—" as he was about to introduce himself "huh..." and started searching himself " where my lighter go? Crap don't tell me I dropped it" he murmured " hey one of you kids, you don't have a light do you?" He asked " ooh! Close call!" he said as He ducked when licht tried to kick him
" id rather give you my foot!" He yelled " wow, youngsters now a days are so short tempered" he smirked, he leans back and stands tall " can't be helped " well then back to, I guess I'll have to hurt you some more, but don't worry little girl, if I hurt you tsubaki won't be happy"
Licht moves to the side, but still got grazed, and the moment the man clicked his fingers, fire spouted from the wound ' what the hell is this?' Licht narrowed his eyes ' the old mans got some serious fire power!'
The man lights his cigarette with his lit finger " hey listen up kids, there's no way you can win against me if your fighting alone, not without a shadow, a shadow is necessary if you want to see the light, otherwise how do you know it's there" he says
" what? Your talking nonsense" licht glared
" okay then, think of it this way, your shadow is beneath tsubaki wooden sandal defeated"
Yuno's eyes widened ' is he talking about lawless?'
He sighs, but still had that stupid smirk " I think tsubaki sent me a picture" he says, then starts searching himself again for another lost item! " my phone, crap did I drop that too"
Both Yuno and licht got ticked off " I don't give a damn about that good for nothing hedge hog, still I refuse to let you defeat Me" licht continued glaring " I can imagine myself winning so I'll make it happen"
" such a strong spirit, how very unfortunate, Well if you choose to resist, It can't be helped"
The man raised his fists ready to fight "Let's dance little musician and witch"
From a distance mahuri and Kuro could see the fire tornado
"What the hell is that?! A pillar fire?!" He screamed ' somebody's fighting over there
"Kuro let's go" he exclaimed turning to the black cat behind him, Kuro looked at him hesitantly
"Uhm.. maybe we should think about this first..."
" licht and Yuno could be in trouble!"
" shouldn't we call the spoiled brat and that hot springs giant to go with us so we have some backup?" He muttered.
"There's no time! licht could be dead before that and Yuno will be taken!" Mahuri exclaimed
"But alone-..."
"Your just being lazy again!" Mahiru shouted " we're fine! As long as your with me we can do this but we have to hurry! Let's go Kuro!" Mahiru exclaimed
Kuro let out a defeated sigh and nodded reluctantly. And the two quickly ran off to the park
Running to the center of the park and saw an older guy with long red hair holding Yuno up by the collar and licht was on the ground
"Put her down right now!" He yelled angrily.
Licht and Yuno turned his weakly and looked at him, giving him the chance see just how beaten and bloody he licht was and how beaten Yuno was
"Mah...iru....?" She grunted painfully. "Huh? Oh i know you, aren't you Sloth's-"
"I said get your hands of her right now!" Mahuri growled his eyes flaring up with rage
"Now now there's no reason to get so worked up . Just look at her, she's enjoying this little dance of ours" The old guy laughed
"I'll freakin kill you" she muttered as the red head swung her around like a toy.
"Who are you, let me guess, one of tsubaki's subclasses" mahuri glared angrily
"Hm? You can call me Higan. And yes I'm one of Tsubaki's charming friends!" The red head smirked darkly a cigarette in his mouth.
Mahiru froze slightly. ' higan!' " Kuro it's fight!" He exclaimed looking at the cat on his shoulder
. "Really?" He groaned before jumping off his shoulder and connecting with the chain "This is so troublesome-" Suddenly he gasped in pain.
he melted to the ground like he had yesterday, and mahuri along with Yuno watched in shock, the chain around his arm disappeared
" mahuri-" Kuro reached out and it slowly melted to " Kuro! What's going on?!" he Looking down horrified at the small black ball that he became
" what the....Kuro?...."
. "K-Kuro..?" He whimpered slowly bending down and picking the ball up tears racing down my face like waterfalls " hey Kuro.....you in there?"
Higan looked at the startled brunette as he stared at the ball. "the SerVamp Sloth turned into a ball...? Interesting." He reaches out to touch the sphere, but Mahiru backs away, protecting it.
"Weapon!" Mahiru stutters, trying to protect his immobilized SerVamp, he tried to summon his weapon, his wrist tattoo glowed, but... the blue arua then merged with the ball in his hand
Suddenly licht and yuno quickly jumped in front of Mahiru, both giving off a menacing glare to the old vampire " back off old man" Yuno glared
"I beseech creation, grant into my hand, a great and powerful blade!" She casts while punching the ground
A sword starts to materialise and she grabs the handle " you just made the biggest mistake of your life...." her voice growled
"We're the ones your fighting so face us instead..." licht glared while placing his foot across the crowns, it started forming a circle version of a piano on the ground
He jumps away from mahuri and over to the other side of it, higan's cigarette falls out of his mouth and he looks towards them "your creation skills are amazing, and here I didn't take for the type who gets stronger when protection others" he smirks while looking at them, then the witch
" such an angry gazes, it makes me want to draw, thanks a lot kids, you've inspired this old man" he starts forming fire Again
The fire starts to go towards the two, yuno jumps up, while somehow, the floor piano like a net, starts to catch the flames while licht jumps away
Yuno goes in for an attack with the sword while mahuri watched ' I can't move!...I want to help!...but I'm just sitting here!...letting Yuno and licht protect me!....why can't I fight!?...'
Licht doves anyone's attack, and Yuno jumps back after the strike was countered ' I feel like I can hear licht and yuno speaking to me...their words breaking through the music and flames...'
' why the hell did you come here?..,' licht asked
' It's no use...I'm not strong enough...kuro's...Gone...I don't have a weapons!...I can't do anything....'
' if you keep thinking negative, then you truly won't be able to do anything...' he heard yunos voice
' it's not about wanting to do something you can't do, it's about what you want to do...' licht says ' he's right, it's not about wanting to become someone, About who you want to become....I'm sorry if I fail here...but trust me...we'll meet again...I promise you...' was the last thing he ward of Yuno's voice, before the flames covered the two in front of the boy
Time skip
Licht and Yuno lie on the ground unconscious, higan sighs " how tiring, you really strong kids" he walks over to pick them up
' I have to move!.... to do something!' Mahuri exclaimed
"But all's well that ends well I suppose and my objectives been made" higan says picking the two up " it just can't be helped."
' move!' Suddenly mahuri finally start moving again " stop! You put them down right now!"
" oh, it's down to be brave, but it's not always smart" as soon as mahuri reached them, hogan touched him and the boy froze " tell your friends that I said hi" he said as he started walking away
Mahuri's eyes twitched In anger " no way! What did you do to me!? Who are you?!"
" you want to know who I am, I am a simple artist" the man smirks turning back a little as he walked
As soon as mahuri was free, he turned around to find them gone, then fell on his knees in despair "no!....." his voice cranked " YUNO!!!!"
The man who draws what tsubaki wants to see
Meanwhile on the ground, the ash marks left behind by hogans fire, represented his masters animal form
Time skip
The group stare down at the ball that used to be Kuro " this is impossible, your saying this tiny black ball is the SerVamp of sloth?" Misono asked while staring down at the ball in surprise with mio on his shoulder
" is true, I feel his presence" Lily said in butterfly form while hovering near it with Hugh " so do I" the bat replied as the Phoenix fluttered next to him
" that man took licht....and Yuno....I couldn't stop him...I couldn't do anything" mahuri clenched his fist " Kuro was right after all...I should have waited for the rest of you guys...she's probably scared right now....I-I broke my promise to her...crap!..."
Lilac looked down at him in sadness, he too missed the nice girl who saved him
" don't beat yourself up, yuno would probably do it if she were here" misono said " we may still have a chance"
Mahrui looks up to see him holding a phone in his hand " look what I found" It was a red phone, with a belkia charm " I found it on our way here"
"A cell phone?" Mahrui questioned " wait, is that a belkia charm? Do you think this belongs to one of tsubaki's subclasses?" He asked
"I do" misono smirks "And that gives us a direct line of communication with him
We don't have to sit around wait for his next move-"
"Ahahah! Someone's calling you!!!" The Guys but tetsu flinched when the phone goes off, misono opened it, and the screen said incoming > > tsubaki
Which had a picture of him, posing with a few arms behind him that obviously were his subclasses behind him with their arms out
"Jackpot, Your in luck" misono smirked
Yeah but...what's with this ringtone and wallpaper?" Mahrui says as misono answered and And puts his ear to it
"Ah wonderful, hello? Did you happen upon this cell cellphone for me?"
Tsubaki asked " what a relief, I'm a family member of the person who dropped it. Thanks for picking it up."
'Tsubaki...' mahuri glared " Higan, don't worry it looks like someone found it, after all"
"Oh, thank goodness," Higan said
"Well aren't you going to thank them"
"I mean I guess I should-"
"Want it back?" Misono asked. " then how about we settle up a trade...we want the SerVamp, and eve and Yuno gasai you bastards"
Tsubaki stopped with the food he was eating as it was halfway to his mouth.
It dropped from his hand as he stared wide eyed, Then he started laughing
. "Not interesting at all. I'm speaking to the Eve of Lust, that right? Don't you think your asking a bit much I mean it is just a phone"
"That's not all, We also have one of your subclass in our possession. I'd call that a pretty good deal and another thing, we want them back unharmed"
" misono!" Mahuri exclaimed while misono put his hand over the phone " you the one who said he cared, we see if he really does want his subclasses safe, it's the only card we have to play-"
Tsubaki laughed again, an evil look on his face as he hissed into the phone. "Don't you have anything interesting to say?!"
"We'll plan the trade off and call with from phone later, interesting enough for you?..."
"I see. Alright fine, we won't hurt the two of Greed, but i think we'll still keep them separated far apart form eachother "
"What about yuno?"
"She... will not be a part of the deal" their eyes widened
"But-"
"Well, I'm going to sleep now so be a dear and don't call me again until until late afternoon. Alright? Oh! One more thing, hogan said that the charm on his phone is hand made so make sure your careful and don't break it..."
"That's what you care about?!! Give back gasai you thieving sons of-"
Tsubaki hangs up " it's safe" he said to higan
"Geez what a relief," Higan said with a sheepish chuckle
. "Higan! Your mistake deserves punishment! Even death!" Shamrock scolded him " ill never understand Why your his a number two, if anyone it should be me"
"Huh?! You your back, I thought it smelled like old man in here!" Belkia said, walking in wearing his night cap and pyjamas
"Hey, i can't help the way I smell" Higan complained
" well now, it seems our plans have been re written" tsubaki smirks " by the way belkia, how's my darling doing?" He asked
" oh, she hasn't regain consciousness yet, but otogiri's getting her ready~" the vampire chimed
" excellent" he smirked " and how's our other guest?" He asked " he's just sitting in his room, he won't speak to me" the vampire pouts
" now now"
In another room, someone sits in an arm chair while staring out the window, then smirks
Meanwhile Yuno was unconscious in a room while the vampire girl was dressing her....
In a wedding dress....but she looked unhealthy, like she was being draining somehow
Time skip
"They can't stay separated very long" misono says as the group sit around a table
" so we have to act quick, if the SerVamp of greed was taken around midnight last night, and they haven't been reunited, then we don't have much time to plan, lichts life is in great danger"
Mahuri's the yes widened "You mean he can really die, At midnight tonight?"
"What will you do? Should we go invade immediately?" Tetsu asked
"Are you completely clueless, We would we even invade?" The purple haired boy glared "and we don't know what they have planned for Yuno, we have to be careful, anything we do could effect her life"
"Then what?" Mahuri asked
"Shirota, You can't be involved in this rescue mission" mahuri's eyes widened "You don't know what happened to your SerVamp, And you have no weapon Correct" he says "We don't have time to look into what happened to sloth, Lily and I will do what we can with tetsu and Hugh by our side, we only have 16 hours" he stated " but we'll do our best to save those three" they get up and start walking out " let's get a plan together"
Lilac walks out with them, along with the familiars, leaving mahuri alone with the ball ' I can't believe I'm useless at a time like this' he thinks while messing with the ball a little ' what am I doing?...I feel like I'm running in circle...' his finger slips and the ball almost rolls of the table " Kuro!" Until he caught it
He sighs, and placed the ball on top of his jacket, so it doesn't roll of the table ' I thought that by going to the park I'd be able to save licht and Yuno...I thought I had enough power on my own...i thought I could be kuro's partner....but all I really did was expect him to fight for me and take care of everything...even though he said it was a pain...I'm so stupid!!....I haven't learn anything at all....even after everything that's happened to me!...Damn it!" He cursed himself
"I wanted to get stronger....To protect people....to protect her..." he stared down at the ball "cmon Kuro...What happened to you...Where are you?...You damn cat...."Tears start to fall from his face "Kuro...you know....I wanted to be an adult so I could have the ability to face problems head on....but....I didn't face you or Yuno head on at all...I pretended it didn't matter what you were feeling, I pretended to be kind
But ignored you..." his voice cracked
"Thanks to you I was able to do things I wouldn't be able to do alone....But when it was my turn to help you out when you needed it....I totally failed....I'm sorry
Kuro I'm so sorry!" He cried
"I can't watch this..." he gasped
and looked at the ball as he heard a familiar voice, a tiny Kuro then appears inside, all Mahiru could do was stare in shock, until he spoke "Kuro!" He explains
