25| Play With Fire
*Y U I C H I R O*
"So you came, Yuu." i turned my head as I saw Akaru looking at me.
"What's the big idea of summoning me in this late hour?" i asked.
He walked towards me as he tucked his hands in pockets while having a confident smug on his face.
"I want to challenge you in a duel."
My lips curved in a smirk, 'duel, huh? How interesting.' "sure."
I started unscathed my blade as he also did the same, "don't be so bitter if you lose against me." i smirked.
He laughed, "I? Lose to you? You must be really confident."
I ran up to him as I hit him with his blade, he used his weapon to defend himself against me.
"Incinerate." in my surprise, flames came out of his blade as it made me fell back to the pressure of heat.
'What was that technique?!' i thought, slightly surprised as i saw him play with his weapon-produce fire.
"Turn him into smithereens, Amon!" he roared as a huge wave of flames fly to me as I used my blade to defend the attack.
My back was pushed to the wall as my body and blade took the impact of the blazing heat. "is that all you got? Your weak, you can't protect Shiro like that!" he yelled.
I stood up as I glared to him, "you can glare all you like, even a mere child can do that." he smirked.
Then in anger, I ran up to him as I swung my blade to him, he counter attacked it with his fiery blade.
"Your swing is weak." he mumbled as once more, he sent me to the wall.
'T-That guy...is too strong.' i thought as my back touched the wall.
"Next time, swing at me as if you're trying to kill me." he said seriously.
Then I activated the curse as violet marks appeared on my body, "don't get a full tad on yourself!"
I swung at him with full force as he seemed to be surprised, "hmm, your stronger and faster now than earlier."
I smirked, "I'm just getting started."
Silver blades began to clashed to each other consecutively, then my back fell on the ground as he put his blade near my neck making my eyes widened.
"This is the end." he said, "you sure?" i smirked widely.
I pointed my blade at him abdomen making him surprised, he sighed as he took back his blade at I also did,
"From the looks of it, you haven't been taught how to wield a cursed gear properly." he remarked.
I stood up as I dusted my clothes, "I'm about to be teach, damn it."
I heard him hummed in reply as he tucked his hands back to his pocket and stared at me seriously.
"In the way you are right now, you won't be able to protect your teammates and Shiro."
My eyes widened, "I could protect them, I'm more stronger than—"
"No, you wouldn't be able to protect them. Not with that strength of yours." he cuts me off.
I clammed up as he sighed, "the nobles are far more stronger than me, how are you suppose to beat them?"
I clenched my fist, he was right. Even so...I will protect them. "that's why I'll go on a training in how to wield a cursed gear properly." i said.
He nodded, "oh, and don't go kissing Shiro like that—it ticks me off."
I blushed furiously, "I knew that you saw us..." i face palmed.
"Yeah, I would really love to beat you right here, right now. Then I just remembered you are Shiro's only family member." he said.
I turned to him, "you...do you like Shiro?" i asked as he was silenced.
The place was complete silence for awhile as he spoke to break it.
"Even if I do...there's nothing I could do." he spoke quietly.
"Nothing you could do?" i asked.
"Somethings that can be spoken are better off not said."
'What does he mean by that?!' i thought then he grinned to me.
"Why did you turned like a beast anyways? I bet your just jealous."
A vein popped in my forehead as I glared at Akaru, 'seriously, what's with this guy?!' i thought.
"Your so annoying." i huffed.
"Your just jealous." he shot back.
I cleared my throat as I started speaking my own words.
"I'm not jealous, I'm just territorial because when you're jealous, you want something that's not yours. But when you're territorial, you just want to protect what's yours."
*S H I R O*
What should I do now?
Because of me, those two people that is unknown to me, are getting killed. Why is Kureto-san doing this?
"Lend me your power, Asuramaru."
I was cut off my thoughts and blinked my eye in reality as violet marks appeared on Yuu's skin, we're outside the wall to do him and Kimizuki-kun's demon possession training.
"So is this demon possesssion?" he asked as he turned to Shinoa-chan.
"No, we need to take it a step further. Maintain that condition, cut yourself, and say drink my blood to your sword." she answered him.
"Blood? Sounds like a vampire, don't you agree so too, Shiro?" he turned to face me, when our eyes met each other, we immediately looked away.
'W-Why am I feeling like this?' I thought as I could feel my cheeks warming up.
"Let's do it, Yuu." i heard Kimizuki-kun said as they started drawing their weapons. "stop!"
We turned to Mitsuba-chan who suddenly spoke, "we're screwed it you both fail." she warned them.
"The demon could get out of control if the possession fails, that's why we came all the way out of the walls."
The two girls in my team nodded in my deduction, "get out of control?"
"Everyone!" all of us looked up to see Yoichi-kun seating on the lamp post.
"What's wrong?" i yelled back, "Four Horsemen of John are coming...there are five of them approaching."
'Five of them approaching, huh? That's bad.' i thought,
"Tsk, bad timing."
"Oh well, let's do this."
I raised my arm to both of Yuu and Kimizuki-kun who're attempting to kill the monster.
"Let Yoichi-kun handle this," i said as my eyes were still on him.
"What're you talking about, Shiro? He can't handle it alone—" i turned to Yuu with a smile. "he can."
Dropping my arm to the side as i just smiled, "he already has manifested with his demon after all." i added to my statement.
Then multiple arrows from his cursed gear flied, and directly hit the Four Horsemen of John in sight.
He ran up to us with a relieved smile, "i did it, everyone!" he beamed.
I turned to the two boys in training and grinned, "see?"
Both of them looked dumbfounded at me, surprised. "w-what does this mean? Explain it to me, Shiro!"
He groaned as he grabbed my collar, fuming his anger at me, "did you give training to him only?!" Kimizuki-kun asked me, also surprised.
Freeing myself from Yuu's grasp as i hurriedly waved my hand, "y-you got it wrong! Yoichi-kun's curse control ability was exceptionally high from the start, so he just mastered manifestation himself." i said.
"Seriously...?" both of them looked at me as i nodded, then to Yoichi-kun.
"I've been talking to my demon a lot before I go to sleep, and now I just can do it." he reasoned out as he lightly scratched his cheek.
'Talking to him demon is efficient, in using someone's power is you must have a bond tied with them. That applies with demons as well.'
I felt the unscathed sword as i turned around and saw Yuu grinning, my eyes widened as i saw a track of blood dripping down his sword.
"Drink my blood, Asuramaru!"
"W-Wait for a minute, Yuu!" i said but, too late. His eyes started to get red from the force of the demon.
"Prepare to fight!" Mitsuba-chan yelled as we started.
He started walking up to me, then he fell on the ground on that position.
"What happened?" Kimizuki-kun asked. "i don't know, he didn't lose control from the get-go so that's a relief for now...it'll take some thme before he comes in contact with his demon." Shinoa-chan spoke.
"Until then, we have to watch over him. That's the role for us comrades during this training." Mitsuba-chan finished as i walked up to him.
I sat down as i put his head on my lap while I brushed my fingers through his hair, even though I'm angry at him from kissing me...
...I couldn't help but, be worried.
"Hurry up, and come back. Yuu." i said as i gazed at him softly.
