Shukona POV
Emica looked down. She looked Very guilty...
Her face was grim and she played with her fingers shyly.
"I.... I'm sorry... I... I was forced to be a spy... I-if not..." Emica Started to cry, tears fell down her face as she started to shiver.
I sighed and walked towards her, wrapping my arms around her and hugged her gently.
"Okay okay... I know... I'm sorry for blaming you...." I sighed yet again a bit guilty.
I started to pat her head while she continues crying.
"Shukona-sama... I'm so *hic* sorry..." She continues to cry.
[Geez... Why am I always the one who ends up comforting crying girls... Ugh... Well... I don't really mind...] I sighed while thinking
"And saying sorry always, stop it. How many times do I have to tell you that?" I kept patting her head, a bit mad.
"I-its because I'm so pathetic.... I'm a traitor of the Shiromoru Family..... The guilt builds up more and more every day! Please... Just tell Nikami-sama... I... I just want to be thrown out... Please..." She cries even more still looking down.
I groaned at this yet again.
"I won't tell her... I know she'll understand." I said this as I stroked her head.
[This makes me feel guilty as well... I'm working with a mole here, well... Not really mole. Since she's just forced to do this because of that masked bitch. Ugh....] I clenched my fists in anger, just thinking of that Masked whore.
"Maybe we should go to some other place, not here you know.... Since Nikami might see us." I said to her.
She slowly nodded to me, trying to wipe the tears off her face.
"O-okay..." she replied
I let go of our hug and then grabbed her hand. We walked towards the side of the Shiromoru's Mansion, which not that much people walk through. There was a big tree at this side, we usually hang out here with the two. Mostly we go to the garden but we sometimes go here too. It is our little hiding spot, we came to love this area because of the shade that the big tree gives. But it had little space so if we wanted to run and play around we would go to the garden, and here if we wanted to rest and calm down.
I sat under the tree and Emica sat down as well.
"...." Emica stayed silent, she stopped crying but still looked devastated.
I looked at her with pity and then I hugged her again.
Silence.... Nothing but silence between us.... Wait, it's not even just between us...
"Why is everything.... So quite all of sudden....?" I thought a bit creeped out.
The birds stopped chirping, the air is suddenly colder....
Just moving a little bit can make such a loud noise...
I inched closer to Emica and just the sound of the grass below me sounds like leaves on a stormy night.
It was silent. Too silent.
"Oh! Suddenly appearing out of nowhere! What a boring entrance I know!~~ I'm sorry I'm sorry, I'll do better soon don't worry! Gehehehe!" I heard a deep yet somehow mischievous voice from above the tree we are sitting under.
[DAMN IT!! ITS HER!!] I thought quickly, being alarmed
I recognized that voice and immediately pulled Emica Away from the tree.
"Huh?!" Emica heard that voice, she knew who that was so my reaction was normal.
I looked around the tree to where that girl could be.
[Damn it!! where is she?! Where is she!?!?!] I thought panicking.
I turned my head in all of the directions quickly, panicking that she might be close to us. Hugging Emica protectively close to me.
"Aww... Come on, not even a little hello from you? Seriously Shukona... Your so overprotective." That same girl said, with her mischievous voice. I listened to where her voice was and quickly determined where she was.
[THERE SHE IS!!] I thought while I laid my eyes on top of the tree, there she was with a mischievous grin on her face. She is standing on a branch while her right hand is holding the trunk of the tree, probably for balance. She was wearing a white sleeveless shirt and black shorts, with her high black socks and has her almost blood looking dark red mask she always wears. Her mask was an ominous masquerade mask, Her raven black hair and ominous presence sent chills down my spine.
I could feel her cold stares at me even if she was wearing a mask
[I know what she can do... I know what she can do to both of us. Why is she here? What does she want?!] I silently thought while still holding Emica near me.
"What do you want." I glared at her
"Aww, not much really...." She had a little pout on her face
"I'm just checking on my little puppet here~~ Not that much to be honest! What about you Shukona? How's Raijin and Nikami?" She grins at me
"They are good... What are you planning to do with them?!" I yelled at her.
"hey hey! Calm down! I won't do anything to them! Yet that is~" She giggles mischievously
"Ye-yet…? " Emica said silently, her voice sounds a bit fearful.
"Tsk…. Yo-you bitch! Don't hurt them!!" I glared at her.
"Oh? What's this? Trying to be tough? You know your nothing to me. Her body is a mere pawn for me. Don't test me." I felt her cold glare at me through her mask, her cold words hit me like spears.
[Da... Damn it...] I gritted my teeth.
"Fine.... Just don't hurt Emi..." I glared at her
"Yaayy! Good grass good grass!" She childishly claps and cheers
[Damn it! Whats with her weird mood swings?! Just before she was cold! Now she's acting like a kid!! What is wrong with this girl?!] I thought while holding Emica tight
"Sh-Shukona-sama.... Yo-you don't have to do this for me..." She looks up at me with teary eyes
I looked at her and I flicked her forehead "Shut up." I glared at her.
"O-ok-okay..." Emica looked down, smiling slightly since I was protecting her.
I looked back at that masked bitch... Wait....
"WHERE DID SHE GO?!?!"
"Looking for me?~"
