The Demon Slayer guild's.
Arriving with Black inside their room Riley showed him the argument between Ladros and Derek. Ladros was kept back by Asrael from going to Derek and, Derek was kept back by Sonia from going to Ladros. Both Ladros and Derek had furious looks on their faces that sign they wanted to kill each other there and there, release of aura was imminent from the two bodies filling the whole room.
Black frowned his gaze as shook his head down. He remarked that he was getting tired of this meaningless arguments between his friends, first was Sonia and Ladros then now, Derek and Ladros. He raised his gaze walking up in between two placing both his hands on their chest. He blew Derek and Ladros across the far corners of the room. A vibration could be heard throughout the outside.
Sonia, Riley and Asrael all stood in shocked. They were surprise on how easily blew Black both Ladros and Derek. Those two were ease pick for no one to blow them so easily away.
Ladros casually picked himself off the corner, dusting his clothes, he gaze with a menacing look towards Black. "You're dead."
Ladros quickly rushed towards Black front, trying to lend a serious punch but Asrael kept him back. He angrily tried pulling Asrael feet across the floor wanting to vest out his rage at him. Asrael tight his grip pulling him back.
"Let him go. I want to see what he would do," said Black. Asrael widened his eyes shocked. Black was more confident that he could takeout Ladros for real, usually he would not even try to include himself in any drama course by Ladros.
"I do not know what is he problem, but I am not going to let you win," Derek said, as he stood beside Black side to face Ladros in a fight.
"Tell me what started all of this?" Black asked looking at Sonia. Derek cutted her off explaining the story himself. He explained that Ladros and Sonia were arguing as usual, they arguing over the usage of the bathroom. Ladros was first to use the bathroom, but Sonia arguing with him about leaving his hair on the soap their were all using; Black raised back his brows that such a argue could be for a soap with hair. Sonia grabbed Ladros collar lifting him off his feet. Black sneered knowing what happened after that; He could sense that Ladros reacted feeling that his sense of pride was being destroy by Sonia lifting him off the ground.
Ladros gripped and broke Sonia hand that grab his collar. Derek quickly rushed to protect his sister as Ladros was ready to punch her. He grabbed his punch before he could return the punch Sonia pulled him backward, explaining why they here now.
Black gasped, he realized that he can not leave them for even a second without them fighting each other.
Black slammed his hand on his forehead, he asked, "You guys do not give me rest. Ladros tell why you want to kill him?"
Ladros angrily replied, "I won't be disrespected by a kid, Black!"
Black sneered agreeing with Ladros logic; Even him would have reacted the same way if someone younger than him would disrespect him like that too. But that would have happened if it was someone else, his friends he would maintain grip letting it pass.
"Black, I won't allow my little brother to be harm. If its a fight he want then a fight he will get," Sonia stated with a firm expression looking towards Ladros. Riley stood firm beside her, also supporting her sister decision.
"Wait, wait, no one is fighting anyone here, this matter could be solved in matter of minutes, let us talk things through like grown ups, were not kids anymore."
Black sat both groups down with Ladros and Asrael on the right side, and Sonia, Derek and Riley on the left side. Both Ladros and Derek glared at each other with menacing looks, that made Black smiled inside. He almost laughed thinking that Derek was underestimating Ladros strength and was taking him for an idiot, but most of other people find out late not to take Ladros likely. Ladros was the youngest inferno-demon that can use inferno flame and that should not be taken likely.
A few moments passed.
The two groups have found common ground to let everything that happened to stay in the past. Ladros shook hands with both Sonia and Derek halting their agreement.
While casually walking back downstairs Black caught the glance of the guild-master Pael. Pael was casually waiting through the door entrance of the hall. He slide his gaze towards then walked up pass Black side.
A look of frustration swept across Black face as he stood without movement clinching his fists. There was something he did not like about him, every time he tried reading the Pael he could not sense anything about him. It mad him on edge not able to read him like he do others, and unreadable foe is a dangerous opponent. He slightly exhaled continue to walk down the stairs.
"I am glad you the type to protect his friends, they need you," Pael murmured right behind Black. Black shook with his eyes widen shocked.
'Huh! What?! How did he get behind me? I saw he walk away, but how?' Black glared with surprise at Pael, he was surprised by his speed he was not able to sense him. He slightly shifted his face towards his side, surprised! Pael had already disappeared from his side gently walking away from his back.
Walking Black thought of Pael early words; He was responsible for everything that his friends do. Since they have arrived in the mortal realm he had to the leader of the group; Unusual with this role of leadership he was trying everything in his power to maintain peace.
'Ladros and Sonia hate each other more than usual, and again Ladros wants to kill everybody we meet. Those two make a great pare but that's never going to happen, ever! I do not know how I can keep doing this thing, I miss when they did not get along in secret, I guess those good times are over now.'
'I remember when Sonia had feelings for Ladros it was in middle garden. Back then both of them did not hate each other like this. I see that Ladros totally likes her but the small reason, is why he does not tell her that. I really hate his family pride keeping everything inside, huh, maybe with time they will learn to get a long like before.'
Black walked back to guild hall he grabbed five cups placing them in a table and grabbing cups also placing them in other tables. After that he filled them up with liquor inside. With a slightly smiled Vera looked at him actions.
She approached his side murmuring to his ears, "What are your preferences?" Black turned his back quick. He asked as he did not hear her words before.
Vera chuckled as she repeat herself, "I said, what type of girl or women do you prefer in your life?"
Black frowned his face seeming to be thinking about Vera question. He simply sighed saying, "To tell you the truth I have never thought much about girls or women. But I would prefer a woman's who is smart, fearless, they enjoy the life to the fullest and pushes me to chase my dream." Vera nodded her head at Black words.
"Dream?" Vera asked seeming to be curious.
"Oh yeah, my dream."
"What is your dream?" asked Vera.
Black thought about telling her but quickly realized that no mortals should find out his dream, or they can end up finding out about him being a demon. Vera seemed to b kind and good but trusting mortals sometime backfire on the person who trusted them.
"I want to be the demon k..." Black placed his hands on the mouth halt his next words. He was about to tell her about his dream of becoming the demon king.
Vera glared close into his eyes. Black swept his eyes across the room thing that Vera had figure it out by the look on her face. "Demon what?"
"Demon, what do you mean?"
"I thought I heard you say demon something. I did not hear you clearly but I did hear the word demon there in your words."
"Huh wow!"
Black sighed as he explain to Vera. "Okay, this is not something I like to tell people about. I don't know how to put it, but it's something I have wanted since I was a child." Black said with a bleak expression. Vera eyes turned dull looking at Black.
"I just asked you your dream not politics. I know someone dream means a lot to them I respect dreams, and the people who have them more. I have my own dreams that I still want to achieve," said Vera. Black raised his brow he smiled.
"Okay, I wanted to be a demon slayer," Black said. Vera halt her expression, she began laughing hard.
"Demon slayer. Why would you want to die?"
"What do you mean?" asked Black, with puzzled expression. Vera explained that demon slayer have a fate that ends with them dying in the end. She continued to laugh non-stop at his direction.
"Demon slayers are the ones who are being slay. There are others classes you could join up with just change demon slayer before its too late please," said Vera. Black frowned his facial expression.
"Hunting demons seem kinder fun too say." Black said with a smile. Vera placed her finger on Black mouth halting his next words. She started explaining how many demon slayers have been killed in the past year and years; A demon slayer's live is full with paranoia and enemies at every point.
"I do not even know why demon slayers even still exist, they should stop them from sacrificing themselves for a worthless course."
Black slightly smiled saying, "Why are saying? Do your words have some emotions in them."
"I mean, demons are like us even when they might live longer than us, but similar to elves they also have a long life span. People here fight with demon over who deserve to live. What type of foolishness, demons are not monster like they picture them. But quit intelligent people like us, monsters wouldn't care for there own but they do."
Black smirked towards Vera own representation of demon kind. Her words felt good to hear; Hoping as everyone had her view on demon kind. But not all mortals share her mind towards the issue. One person can change the world if they believe they could.
Black walked up close towards Vera face. He placed his hand on her face looking deep in her eyes. Vera cheeks turned flushed seeing Black up close her face, she nervously turned her head aside escaping his gaze.
Black faintly smiled. "Thank you."
