Chapter 9 - |009|

"Attention, you little shits !" A pink haired fairy wearing a pink dress shouted.

"The meeting is about to start. And if you don't behave, I'll turn you to a frog. Then, I'll stomp you flat. And I don't wanna do that, because my pink Gucci heels will be ruined."

"Remind me why they made you the director of this place instead of Jackson." A man with black hair muttered.

"They don't trust him. And I cannot agree more. He's a... Speaking of, where is he ?"

"Peekaboo ! Your favourite supernatural is here !" Jackson appeared with me in his arms.

"What the H-E-L-L double hockey sticks WAS THAT ?" I vomited into the grass.

"Telepathy makes you nauseous ?" Jackson asked, offended.

"How does that not ?" I groaned, my head spinning.

"Hang on. Ugh. Be right back." I rushed to the nearest bush and hurled my stomach out.

"I thought you were kidding about bringing her here !" the pink haired fairy shrieked.

"I never kid, Angelica." Jackson yawned.

"YOU ARE HALF FOX ! You always kid ! If you think I'm letting her into this camp you must be-"

"Crazy ? Out if my mind ? Probably. But you and I both know you took a vow to protect all supernaturals. Why don't you go ahead and kick her out of here ? I would love to see you suddenly burst into flames for breaking your promise."

"Fine." Angelica huffed.

"Oh, and we have a spy. Working for demons. And no, it is not Kana."

"How the hell would you know ?"

"Other than I can't sense any darkness inside her ? Simple : she's new. The demon knew the problem with the borders. Not everyone knows about it. She couldn't have know either. Just because she's a psychopath, doesn't mean she's working for demons, Angelica."

"Alright, I'll inform other fairies."

"Thank you, your Majesty !" Jackson said sarcastically.

"You stupid son of a bitch ! Don't call me that !"

"Hey, Jackson. Next time you 'teleport' me, I'll chop your dick off. Understood ?" I threatened him.

"Ew." I glanced at Angelica. "Please wear something other than hot pink. It's blinding me."

"Close your mouth, Jackson. I know I'm fabulous." I glared at Jackson.

"What."

"Stop lookin' at me like that. It's givin' me creeps."

"Isn't that Psycho girl on the news ? Why is she here ?" A girl with blonde hair wearing a pink top gagged.

"'Psycho girl has a name, Pinky Version 2. It's Koroshi."

"DID SHE JUST CALL ME PINKY VERSION 2 ?"

"Yes I did !"

I heard Jackson giggling beside me.

"Shush, you're making me laugh." He slapped my back.

"You remind me if this girl I met in prison few days back. She loved pink. Wait... Actually... You're Pinky Version 3- The witch over there is Pinky Version 2 !" I pointed to Angelica.

"HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A WITCH ! I AM A FAIRY ***!***"

"Do I look like I give a shit ?" I yawned.

"Oh my God, Kana. I swear you're gonna be killed by Angelica." Jackson said between laughters.

"Anyways. This actually isn't a meeting."

"We're doing fighting training ! I wanted to surprise everyone !" Angelica cheered.

"Wait, Angelica, she's all new to this ! Can't we delay it ?" Jackson protested.

"Do I look like I give a shit ?" Angelica snorted.

"Just because we have a new girl here, doesn't mea-"

"She can get badly hurt, though. Isn't it your duty-"

"It's alright." I cut Jackson off.

"I'll be fine. False alarm, witch."

Angelica rolled her eyes and sighed, "Your funeral. Alright, everyone stand by while me and the fairies get ready. And I'll threaten lazy people who don't participate. Later, losers !"

She snapped her fingers and disappeared, leaving pink fairy dust behind.

"So... What is this fightin' trainin' ?" I asked Jackson.

"It's just a part of our training. We just fight others so we can defend ourselves if we go to supernatural's realm."

"What's the supernatural's realm ?" I asked, my face deadpan.

"That's a topic for another time."

"So, we just fight people ?"

"Pretty much."

"What the fuck. This place is perfect for me !" I grinned happily.

"But... You're still recovering from your wound. And fighting people with powers is way different than fighting-"

"Hey Jackson. You know what one of my pet peeves are ?"

"Uh, no ?"

"It's when someone worries about me for no reason. I'll be fine."

We both laughed.

"I do have a few questions, though. Are we allowed to beat people up ?"

"Yup."

"Torture ?"

"Must you be so violent ? Angelica probably won't be a fan of that."

"Kill ?"

"No. Definitely not."

"Bummer." I pouted.

Pinky Version 3 walked towards us with a sad expression and stopped next to Jackson.

"What. Do. You. Want." Jackson gritted.

It actually terrified me how Jackson's personality could change in a split second. One second ago, he was laughing with me, and now...

His voice was tight with pain and barely controlled anger, his eyes flashing a violent shade of purple.

His hands were clenched so tight, his knuckles quickly turned white.

The muscles around his jaw tightened, making his mouth twitch slightly.

"Let me ask again," Jackson seethed, forcing himself to calm down.

"What do you want ?" A flash of lightning struck the nearby trees, making them burn into ashes.

"Please, calm down-" Pink Version 3 started.

"Calm down ?" Jackson laughed.

"Get your cheating ass away from me." he growled.

"Jackson... We need to talk..." Pinky Version 3 stammered.

"No, we don't."

"Jackson ! I'm so sorry ! I really am ! Please... Forgive-" she stopped mid sentence and glared at me.

"Oh. Oh, I see."

"What ?"

"You're breaking up with me because of her, huh ?"

"What are you talking about ? I just met her ! She has nothing to do with this ! Stop blaming others while it's your fault, Ava !"

Oh, Pinky Version 3 has a name.

"Listen, you little bitch-!" she screeched.

"You try to take my man, and I swear-"

"Wait, you have somethin' on your face." I smirked.

"What-"

I slapped her across the face and she lost her balance, falling on the floor.

"Oops. My hand slipped." I said sarcastically.

"Here's the thing. It irritates me when someone accuses me of somethin' I have nothin' to do with. And it sounds to me that this was entirely your fault !" I stepped my right foot on her head.

"So. Piss the fuck off."

"I-I'll get you back for this !" Ava ran away crying.

"Let me give you some advice." I looked at Jackson who still hasn't recovered from shock.

"If you guys are in some sort of relationship, end things with her. She's clearly obsessed with you, in a bad way. The fact she blamed an innocent person, A.K.A me, just shows how selfish and horrible she is."

"I already ended things with her. She just doesn't take no for an answer."

"Can I tell you three things ?" Jackson asked after staring me for a while.

"Sure."

"One, you're not as bad as people say you are. You're... nice."

"Don't get used to it." I snorted.

"I'm only bein' nice because I feel bad for you, okay ?"

"Mmhmm. Two, Ava is probably going to kill you. And three-"

"You have serious temper issues."

"So I have been told." I shrugged.

"Training is about to start !" Angelica appeared suddenly and yelled into my ear.

"Shut up. You're too loud." I muttered.

"Jackson, I'm gonna killlllll youuuuuuuuu !" Angelica pointed at Jackson.

"Well. I'll see you in hell, I guess." I turned to Jackson.

"See you there."

"And let the fighting begin !" Angelica announced.
