"What do you mean you're both bathing with me?!" Isha exclaimed, looking at the both of them as Rose managed to conquer one side of his lap. "There is literally nothing to gain from that." He stated.
"Mu. It wyas grandpya's idyea." May replied, nuzzling against Isha. Isha's gaze went directly to the old man who was washing dishes while snickering.
"It's just bonding with an acquaintance Isha. It's relatively normal in some countries." He stated, laughing to himself.
"Well this isn't some other country, and in those countries its for the same gender!" Isha exclaimed, refusing to pet May.
"What's the big deal? I bathed with you." Rose replied, smiling mischievously.
"Now listen here you. I was spoiling you as a child and you know that. I know for a fact what's being suggested her is entirely different." Isha replied back, setting them on a different chair as he got up, standing. Rose smirked as she twirled around in the chair.
"I still don't see the issue. Not like there's much to see anyway." She stated, sticking her tongue out. May's eyes widened as she froze a bit, staring at a certain spot of Isha's. Isha quickly put his hands there.
"Hey, listen here you! How could it be anything but small bathing with you!" He replied, letting a laugh at the end. Rose flushed red with rage.
"Is that so?! I am perfectly attractive by the way! And if it's really not an issue then the same goes for May! So there should be no issue with it!" She replied with a huff, standing up, ponting her finger at him.
"Exactly! There's nothing wrong with i- Wait hold on a moment…" Isha's eyes widened. He was just tricked! Bamboozled! Rose was laughing to herself, her hand on her mouth.
"Ufufufu. Here that May, it's not an is-" As Rose turned to look at May, she was feeling her breasts sitting in the chair.
"I'm pretty syure they're byigger nya." May stated to herself, giving herself another squeeze. Rose's face flushed red again.
"What are you saying?!" She stomped over to May while Isha laughed, the old man already trying to not lose face. As Rose went over to May, the door opened, surprising May.
"Nya!?" She jumped up, being to late to hide her tail and ears.
"Ah, fear not Miss. Ilan. It is only I." A woman in her late twenties to early thirties came in, a soft smile directed towards May.
"Ah! Isha, this is the fellow I had mentioned to you earlier. Wonderful she came herself." Mr. Ilan got a brew ready, setting a place for her to eat. May smiled back at the woman and got down, heading towards the kitchen.
"The usual right nya?" She asked, looking back at the new person. She nodded in a reply to May's statement.
"Mhm. If you'd be so kind." She stated, taking a seat at where Mr. Ilan had set the cup. "You needed me earlier Charles?" She asked him as he poured the coffee.
"Indeed. This young man has recently become possessed," He started, gestering towards Isha.
"Oh? Is he causing trouble?" She was suddenly behind Isha, a knife at his throat. Isha's eyes widened as he gulped. Rose froze, her hand stretched out as she tried to think about what to do.
"Nyo! Ishya is nyot trouble!! He's nyot! Nya!" May shouted from the kitchen door, a panicked look on her face. The woman huffed and retracted her blade, it disappearing into the sleeve of her jacket.
"I see, my apologies." She went back to her seat as Mr. Ilan twiddled his mustache.
"Apologies my ass! What the hell is wrong with you! Do I really look like I'm up to know good?!" Isha exclaimed, rubbing his throat as Rose hugged him tightly. May fought her urge to copy may, going back to cook.
"I actually would like you to train him." Mr. Ilan stated. "As you can see, he's not well versed in combat." He added, smiling softly as Isha sat down, Rose staying next to him, silent. The woman nodded.
"Very well then. If you're asking, I'll train the kid." The woman looked at Isha, pushing her dirty londe hair out of the way. "Charles is correct. Your reflexes are poor, if I wasn't retired, or you were on my list, well let's say this place may need to be repainted." She put her hand out.
"I can see that… Thank you for agreeing then…" He went to shake her hand. Next thing he was on the ground, his arm twisted behind him as the woman held it firmly, sitting over him.
"Never trust someone you don't know. And even then, be cautious of those you do. Training starts now. Is that clear?" Isha managed to nod his head, grunting in pain as Rose watched with a horrified expression. "Is that clear?" She repeated, twisting his arm a bit.
"Y-yes ma'am!" He exclaimed. She seemed satisfied, letting him go and returning to her seat again. "Did it pop? I swear I heard it pop…" Isha muttered to himself, stretching the arm as he repositioned himself, groaning in pain.
"Name's Rei. That's all you get for now. However, you get to call me ma'am unless I say otherwise. Is that clear?" She glared at him.
"Y-yes ma'am!" He exclaimed, wondering what the old man just got him into.
"Good. You're lucky I'm in a good mood tonight, otherwise I might have actually broken something." Isha shuddered to himself. May then came out with a plate of food, setting it down in front of Rei. As she saw Isha on the floor her eyes widened as her ears perked and tail went stiff.
"Ishya! Are you okay nya?!" She ran over to him and practically tackled him, rubbing her cheek against him. "Are you hyurt anywhere?!"
"I-I'm fine May." Isha patted her head, smiling at her a bit nervously as Rose lightly hit his back, her cheeks puffed.
"Oh? You're demon is awake? And you have consciousness. Interesting. It does seem she's taken a liking to you though…" Rei spoke to herself, hand on her chin.
"Oho, as expected of my pupil. You already figured it out." Mr. Ilan laughed happily, twiddling his mustache. Rei looked at Mr. Ilan proudly, puffing her chest a bit.
"Of course! I was trained by the best afterall." She exclaimed. "Now, time to eat." And with that she bowed her head and clasped her hands.
As she did this and began to say a prayer, Isha went cold, a tingle travelling up his spine. A feeling of hatred filled the pit of his stomach. May on the other hand bowed her head as well as Mr. Ilan, out of respect. Rose didn't seem to care, giving a concerning look to Isha as he clenched his jaw.
"She's jus' like them see. You're really gonna let her train ya? She said not ta trus anyone remember?" The demon inside him spoke. Isha covered his ears, closing his eyes.
"No, leave me alone." He spat to himself. His sudden action and his words caught the attention of those in the room, May looking at him worriedly.
"Ish-" Rose cut her off.
"Let's back a bit away. Just in case…" Rose told her, pulling her off Isha's lap. Mr. Ilan watched, his face full of concern while Rei smirked, readying her blade.
"Oho?" Rei, tilted her head, watching with intent.
Isha didn't notice any of this going on, too inside his own mind now.
"The bitch is gonna jus' kill us. I betcha' that's what it is. Here, tell ya what, lemme out to deal wit her. Course imma have some more fun after war-" Isha clenched his eyes tighter, his right eyes starting to hurt.
"No! No no no no! I won't let you!" He shook his head, his face transforming into a snarl.
"The kids gone mad. Should I take care of him? He's absolutely rabid," Rei scoffed, bemused with herself. Mr. Ilan put a hand on her shoulder.
"If you do that, then I won't be responsible for what will happen to you." He stated. Her eyes widened a bit.
"You wouldn't… not over him… I'm sure you just met him!" She exclaimed. Mr. Ilan shook his head.
"I wasn't necessarily talking about me." He nodded his head in front of her. Turning to look, Rei saw Rose and May glaring at her, May's tail flickering a bit, as though waiting. "However, that's not to say I won't." He added.
"I'm sure this is you're fault anyway." Rose spat, glaring at her. "Whenever he goes like this the only thing I can see on his mind is Catholic. I wish I could see exactly… but he won't let me. I'm certain you bowing your head set him off!" She exclaimed.
In the meanwhile, Isha was a raving mess against the wall, repeating no and shaking his head as his mouth began to froth.
"Why not Isha, doncha wanna taste 'er soul? I'm sure it'll be nice an powerful." The demon replied, cackling a bit. Isha nodded his head a bit as drool broke the foam.
Yeah yeah. That sounds nice. She's not that bad a looker, plus she tried killing me anyway, so I'm sure she wouldn't mind a nibble~
"No! No no no! You're not getting your way! I am me!" He thrashed his head against the wall. "I am me I am me!"
"Doncha wanna repay the church? Then again, ya yer memories wit me now didncha? C'mon, doncha wanna remember Isha? Doncha wanna regain the strength?" The demon called to him in a tempting tone of voice.
"What do you mean this was my fault little missy?! All I did was pray! I'm sure something small as that didn't set off a damn thing! I'm sure he's just looney. If anything it's you're fault isn't it?" Rei exclaimed, throwing her arms in the air.
Rose growled at her, snapping her head to Isha when he thrashed his head against the wall. Seeing no blood, she looked back at Rei.
"You said when he goes like this all you can see is something to do with the Catholics?" Mr. Ilan inquired Rose. She nodded to him.
"This morning too… He even was on the ceiling several times in his sleep…" Mr. Ilan nodded to her words, grabbing his cane.
"I thought he felt a bit… off when I first met him." Mr. Ilan mumbled to himself.
"Whyat do we dyo grandpya nya?" May looked from Isha to her grandfather worringly.
"Maybe I should jus show ya? Maybe a tidbit of it." Suddenly Isha opened his eyes, his head snapping upwards. He was unable to see anything but black. It was all pitch black.
Then he heard a sound, a familiar wet ripping noise. Isha looked around for the sound, deducing it to be somewhere to his right.
"Yes, good job little Isha. Eat your fill." He was able to spot it, a lamp a few feet away. A long white robe, however, he was unable to see the face. But a different sight got his attention, blood. Pools of blood. And bodies, all in pieces, limbs scattered. Dismembered heads here and there. All of children. And in the middle of it all, a young boy of about eleven.
"That's a good boy. Eat up and father will give you a special treat~" a hand set itself on the young boys head. As the boy raised his head up as the man, Isha could see a leg in his hand, already peeled to the bone. "how's it feel to eat those you were raised with young Isha? Oh it looks tantalizing to me. But alas, I did have my share of a meal~"
Isha felt panicked as he watched the mans fingers go through the child's hair, a shiver going down Isha's spine. He knew who the kid was. It was him. The memories of this day started to come back. Isha wrapped his arms around himself as he began to shiver intensely, shutting his eyes.
"This isn't real, this isn't real! It's fake! This never happened!" He shouted at the ground; his eyes clenched tightly. He started feeling like ripping something.
"Oh. But I assure ya. It's real. It all happened Isha. Course I won't show ya the rest, not till ya accept it and wanna see yourself~ But that Rei bitch has the stench of that man all over her. I remember it well." The demon growled.
Isha winced as his hair was pulled upward, forcing his head to tilt up as he opened his eyes.
"Now tell me Isha. Are you going to let me out? Or do I have to break out myself." The demon let out a vicious snarl. "I wonder how well you can fight back~"
