Darren POV:
I was walking home with the stuff I bought for dinner I saw Shido running towards an abandoned playground due the spatial quake alarm that happened a few minutes ago. I paid no heed to the alarm though and just slowly walked back home thinking about what would my darling cook for tonight. Out of the five of us that live in that place only Lucas and Wiz can't cook. I can understand Wiz since all 200 years she had Kiriya cooking for her and Lucas is trying to learn how to cook but almost set it on fire if I didn't put out the fire.
Darren: (Note to self never let Lucas cook again) Hmm oh yeah I should follow Shido right??
I ran towards where Shido ran to and saw Shido there with a green haired woman
???: Hello, why are you here??
Shido: Hello, my name is Shido Itsuka, I'm only here for one reason and it's for you.
Darren: (Damn Kurumi would kill me for this but like this is my first time seeing Shido in action gotta appreciate it more)
???: Bahahahah, There's nothing to be afraid of you know. I'm Natsumi, pleasure to meet you Itsuka Shido.
Shido: Nice to meet you as well.
Natsumi: Hey Shido-san, big sis here would like to ask you something.
Shido: Y-y-y-yes??? Go Ahead.
Darren: (Hmmm wonder what would she want to ask him about??)
Natsumi: Do you... think that I'm pretty???
Darren: (She is but she's not my type)
Shido: Eh? Y-Yeah... I think you are very pretty.
Darren: (Shido doesn't have the courage to say that in a complete sentence huh.)
Natsumi: I knew it! What specifically? Shido, what part of Big Sis do you think is pretty?
Shido: Your almond eyes, how straight your nose is, your feminine style and how silky your hair is.
Natsumi: YES!! SHIDO YOU'RE RIGHT ON THE MONEY.
Darren: (Right on the money?? He just said some random body parts and that's right on the money? Damn, Kurumi probably wouldn't say that's a comment.)
Natsumi: I knew it, the me right now. Is pretty.
Shido and Darren: (Huh?/Excuse me??)
I heard mechs' engine roaring afterwards and there, a group of AST members appeared I summoned my sword while placing my items down for a fight. Some of them noticed me when I started walking and shot missiles at me in which I dodged with ease securing my dinner at the same time.
Darren: (Whew, almost lost my dinner there gonna have to keep it safe)
Natsumi: Let's get to work, Haniel.
Darren: (Haniel, that must be her angel's name interesting.)
Immediately the missiles that were fired at her changed into carrots that looked like it was drawn by a first grader. I dodged more and more missiles until I said.
Darren: Sad that I can't turn you all into my soldiers, your combat skill would've been nice to have. I don't have that power yet.
I knocked them all out while Natsumi (I think that's the girl's name) shouted.
Natsumi: Take that.
She fired off a rainbow beam and hit all of the AST members whose armour turned into rabbit suits and they fell from the skies.
Darren: (She's pretty strong she would be around Rose if she used 20% of her powers)
I rushed towards Shido and Natsumi while screaming.
Darren: YO SHIDO WASSUP MAN.
Shido: Gojo? Why are you here. We have school tomorrow don't you have dinner to prepare?
Darren: Yeah and Kurumi is cooking tonight. I took the time of my day just to see you bro.
Natsumi: Ara~ Shido who is this?
Shido: He's my friend Gojo.
Darren: Yo, the name's Gojo Satoru pleasure to meet you. *while giving a slight bow*
Darren: Yo, there's a missile coming.
The missile blew up somewhere near us and after I second I was able to open my eyes and find Natsumi turning into a loli while glowing. I locked eyes with her for a bit before she turned back into that big sister mode again. Natsumi turned around and looked at me while biting her fingernails.
Natsumi: You two saw it right?
Shido: Saw what??
Darren: (I guess I should play dumb and say saw what so I can get the hell out of here as soon as possible)
Darren: Yeah saw what??
Natsumi: He may not have saw it, but YOU DEFINITELY DID!! *while pointing at me*
Darren: Geez, you're crazy I'm out of here. *disappearing into my shadow*
I appeared back home with an angry Kurumi and Lucas looking at me while Wiz and Rose looks at me with a concerned face.
Kurumi: Darling may you please amuse me with how long did you take just to get groceries?
Lucas: Bro, why didn't you come home sooner? I was waiting for around 2 hours for you and I was hungry after I went all out in sports today.
Darren: Ok sorry, but I saw Shido on the way and decided to visit him he was on another mission I think.
Kurumi: What does the spirit look like?
Darren: The spirit uses an angel called Haniel and has a big sister type of look.
Wiz and Kurumi started staring daggers into me when I said that, I can basically feel their stares digging into my back.
Darren: Anyways, the spirit apparently is called Natsumi and she's a loli.
Kurumi: Dear, are you a lolicon by any chance??
Darren: Darling, no I'm not a lolicon.
Wiz: My lord-
Darren: If you want to be my lover then call me by my name or a pet name not my lord or use any type of formal language when you are talking to me.
Wiz: Then Darren-Chan is that fine??
I scratched my head a little before deciding.
Darren: If that's what you want, my dear lich. *winking at her*
She flushed red before Kurumi grabbed my bag of groceries and scoffed at me. I sat on the couch I created from my shadows while thinking to myself.
Darren: (The Satoru bloodline seems to be a lot more than just a name. My dad was a Satoru yet he turned out to be a bitch cause when Kiriya knew about my last name he seemed shocked. I need to train more to find out what the Satoru bloodline is hiding I guess.)
The next day:
I arrived at school late due to having to go to the police station to hand in a lost wallet. When I arrived at school, multiple people started pinning me to the wall.
E1: OI WHY DID YOU FLIRT WITH KURUMI AND YOUR SISTER???!!!!
E2: YOU INCEST TRASH!!! I HOPE YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!!
Darren: Wtf?? Are you all on drugs or something?? Kurumi is my girlfriend so I can flirt with her and by the way I JUST FUCKING ARRIVED YOU IDIOTS!!!
Most people seemed scared by my yelling I held my throat in pain and coughed for a bit before Kurumi approached me and dragged me away with Rose and Lucas in tail.
Kurumi: Now dear, may you please explain why you were flirting with different girls this morning?
Darren: Kurumi, I just arrived and now my throat hurts like shit. I had to go to the police station this morning to give them a lost wallet.
Lucas: Look man, I want to believe you but we all saw you do it. Kurumi was the most upset when she saw you.
Rose: How could you cheat on your wife like that??
Darren: First off, Kurumi is not my wife yet and second of all I just arrived at school.
I walked away from those three while I saw Shido literally facing the same problem as me I dragged Shido away from the crowd and hid somewhere avoiding everyone.
Darren: Yo Shido, what's going on? I just arrived at school and my girlfriend accused me of flirting with other girls.
Shido: Same here, Origami and Tohka as well as the others just confronted me about this. What's going on?
Darren: Someone is impersonating us to try and ruin our reputation.
As I said that, Shido and I spotted someone that looked exactly like Shido and rushed after it.
Darren: Shido, you're not the fake and that's the fake one right??
Shido: Yes, obviously.
Both of us stormed the rooftop kicking the door open.
(Pretend Shido is also there)
Shido and Darren: OK WHO THE HELL ARE YOU WHY ARE YOU PRETENDING TO BE US??
Fake Shido: Oh it's you two, that was quick. I had all sorts of fun while you two were away. Hehehe.
Shido: What are you after by impersonating us?
Darren: Tell us now!!!
Fake Shido: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Darren: Is it so funny now???
Fake Shido: It is, in fact. It's so funny that my stomach could burst. You two dumb idiots still haven't realised it?
Darren: Ahh, that voice! I remember you now. You were that big sister spirit.
Fake Shido: DING DING DING. Surely you know why I've been impersonating you by now.
Darren: I think I can tell, was it because I saw you turn into a loli that day?
Fake Shido: Yet another correction and now a challenge. For you two.
She threw a bunch of pictures at us while flying away saying.
Natsumi: Among them, I am there. Now how can you tell??? Better tell quick or they will all disappear.
Darren: Alright, Shido. So now there are fifteen pictures of everyone we know any clues??
Shido: Not even close.
Darren: If she can impersonate can she impersonate anything?
Shido: What do you mean?
Darren: Don't worry about it.
Darren: Shido, how do we find help in this situation?
Shido: We can't that's the point. Let's go to my house we can think of something there.
Darren: Yeah sure, let me call Kurumi and Wiz real quick to make sure.
Darren: <Yeah Wiz, I'll be home late so if anyone is at the house before I come home tell them that they are an imposter>
Wiz: <OK Darren-Chan>
Darren: Haah still with the pet names.
Shido: Cmon.
We arrived at Shido's house to think of battle strategies. Yet came up with nothing.
Darren: Shido, I think you can go on dates with your spirits to make sure that they are not imposters ask any type of questions you think will help. I will do the same. I guess it's me and you, versus Natsumi.
Shido: First time doing this without Kotori's help. But also first time doing this with your help.
Darren: Same here, this is my first time working with you.
Kotori: Shido, this came in the mail for you.
Shido: Hmm let me see.
Kotori: Why is Gojo inside our house.
Shido: He's here to help me with something.
Darren: Yo. Wassup.
Shido read the mail extremely quickly and throwing it aside afterwards.
Shido: It's the same as what Natsumi told us except a prime detail.
Darren: What detail?
Shido: The mail mentioned that one of the fifteen people will disappear day by day.
My eyes widened, Shido was looking at the other side seeing that Kotori's eyes also widened. Knowing that she might disappear.
Darren: This information is both good and bad for us, cause we can shorten the amount of people from each day that passes. But that comes with a price, we don't know if she'll return the people she stole or not and it's wayyyy too long. We have to wait for fourteen days to narrow down our options. Also she never said anything about if there's a punishment if we guess wrong.
Shido: I guess I'll work harder than ever I guess.
Darren: Same here, I'll do everything in my power to catch her.
Only when the moment we said that, we never realised how truly dangerous this game is. Tomorrow I went on a date with Kurumi and after that date I have one with Wiz, after that date I have to do some sibling bonding with Rose. Kurumi looked absolutely stunning and it almost took my breath away.
Darren: Good morning, my beautiful nightmare.
Kurumi: You're contradicting yourself you know? My darling.
Darren: Are you still mad at me for flirting with other girls by the way? Just saying-
Kurumi: That was a spirit I know, I heard you three's conversation. Don't worry, in fact. I should be sorry for blaming you without letting you explain. I should've trusted you more, my dear other half.
Darren: We should head to that cat cafe if you want?
Kurumi: Sure I don't mind.
We started playing with the cats before I asked her a fatal question.
Darren: Kurumi-Chan, I have to ask you a very important question ok? I only told you this so.
Kurumi: Ok I'm listening.
Darren: I've once told you something that I only told you right?
Kurumi: Yes.
Darren: Ok, what did I exactly tell you?
Kurumi: Oh, you told me that once you tried to go to your sister's birthday party but just ate the entire cake there due to you being starved for days by your parents.
Darren: (It matches what I told her exactly and even my sister doesn't know that I ate her cake I bought a new one that matches the description)
Darren: Thank you, Kurumi-Chan. Let's continue our date shall we.
After that date, I headed over to the date with Wiz she was looking extravagant. She would've killed me with that look if I didn't swallow my spit.
Darren: Good morning, my personal Lich.
Wiz: Since when was I yours?
Darren: HMMMM, good question. But my answer has to be definitely from when you and Kiriya got together. Since then, you heart belongs to me.
Wiz: I can't understand your flirting logic *While blushing*
Darren: Alright, let's go. We have an amusement park ride to catch.
After the ride we both sat in a restaurant ordering whatever food we wanted and it was on me since I was the only one that actually has a stable job as an accountant. I was an accountant in my past life so I knew how. Wiz ordered some pasta while I ordered a cheeseburger for lunch.
Darren: I have to ask you a question that only Kiriya and you know about ok?
Wiz: I'm a bit confused but sure, ask away.
Darren: So, what are the commander's names in the undead army?
Wiz: Hmmm, it's...
(No spoilers, you'll know the names later)
Darren: (Wow, it perfectly matches the names that Kiriya gave me.)
Darren: Thx Wiz. You cleared my suspicion.
After the date I ran towards the movies for my older sister for some sibling bonding moment. My lunch threatened to come out of my mouth if I ran any faster. I got straight to the chase after the movie.
Darren: Rose, tell me something only I told you.
Rose: I'm one hundred percent sure you told me that you peed your pants once while you were inside the bed and had to clean it instantly while the parents were out.
Darren: Ok, that clears up my suspicion.
After that bonding moment with my sister. I rushed over to Shido's house and discussed the battle plans he told about his side and I told him mine. Yet we realised how we were being played at the palm of her hand with more and more people disappearing by the moment until 10 days passed and we only have Kotori, Miku and Kurumi, Tohka and Origami.
Natsumi: Well, well, well this is the end. I guess i'll be nice and give you three guesses today.
She appeared on a mirror and started saying.
Shido: I'm guessing that it's Kaguya.
Natsumi: Nope.
She absorbed Kurumi into that broom of hers while I stood there thinking about the possibilities and the disappearance of Kurumi not helping my train of thoughts. Instead it was more disruptive than helpful. I stared at Miku's necklace and Tohka's bracelet. Before I could make a guess though, Shido did.
Shido: I'm guessing Kotori.
Natsumi: Nope.
She absorbed Origami this time leaving Miku, Kotori and Tohka left. I was certain now, seeing all of the clues helped me add up everything to determine the winner of this game.
Darren: This is checkmate, Natsumi. I know who you were copying. You were copying Yoshinon weren't you??
Natsumi had a scornful look on her face. Thus further proving my deduction.
Darren: I knew that from the moment that Shido once told me that Yoshinon was acting strange, it was because of you copying it. He would say weird stuff that doesn't match up with Yoshino's memories despite being with her all the time!!
Natsumi still had a scornful look on her face and stared at me.
Natsumi: AHHHHHHHH, you win this time.
She released all of the people that disappeared while turning into her loli form.
I hugged Wiz and Kurumi as tight as I can with tears almost coming out of my eyes from their disappearance.
Kurumi and Wiz: Alright you big baby/ You're still a child even after all these years.
Darren: Oi, Shido. Take care of that spirit I have to leave now. Goodbye.
Shido: See ya Gojo.
With that I grabbed Wiz and Kurumi vanishing into the shadows and Lucas grabbed Rose and teleported away back into out base.
Darren: I don't want to be involved with Shido anymore. *while lying on the three people bed I made myself*
Kurumi, Lucas, Wiz and Rose: Agreed.
Sorry if this chapter had no multiple POVs I wanted to try just a one person POV trust me, it will come back soon that is if you want to.
