Even so she is overreacting, my friends with the only exception of Karen do as she told them to. What happened to them ? Did they get brainwashed !? Karen takes me with her and go to Plutaria's side, she then turns around to face my three other friends.
"Are you betraying us too Karen ?" wonders Naomi.
"I'm not betraying anyone, I'm in the side of justice." she replies instantly.
"You mean money." I softly comment.
"Well of course you would want to befriend me, I'm hella rich like the youngsters says in Earth."
"You are still young..." I sigh.
"I'm a grown up adult."
"Anyway... do we leave them here ?" I whisper.
"Yes we do. Did you really kiss each other ?" Karen asks looking at us
"Yes." Plutaria and me both answering.
"I'm delighted to see you being so cooperative. I might make you my bodyguards." continue the princess.
Karen squeaks, her eyes closed and with a wide and happy smile plastered on her face, I don't get what she is so happy about.
"So Plutaria..."
The one and only Plutaria sweeps her hands, telling the two other to go away.
"Princess of Darkness." she hereby declares.
"Okay Princess." she spat.
"That's better." Plutaria rubs her dark black dress.
I slightly see them being nice to each other on purpose, they seem so happy to both be together that it scares the hell out of me, smiling so much could even be a sickness.
"We can let her go." suggests Naomi to the boys.
"You said you wouldn't so we will not." blurt the wolf eared boy.
"There is only way then..." she sighs annoyed.
"Wait ! I'm out !" Yells Damien instantly.
"Tss..." is annoyed the hero's leader.
"I won't let you alone." wolfboy adds to confort her.
I'm not liking it one bit, two werewolves together are hard to handle for us three, but with the help of Plutaria it will not end with us losing blood, am I right ? Tonight is a full moon, but it has yet to come as we are still in the morning and knowing them well enough, I can read whatever Naomi is planning to do and it's to waste our time.
"I've been waiting for a fight for so long !" Says Karen as she raises her arms moaning in a loud voice.
"You have bear ears ! Why are they so little ?" wonder Plutaria.
"Just fight with me. You too Damien." replies Karen in an instant to Plutaria.
"I think I'll just stay in the backline. I'm just reinforcement."
"You just want to look at our butt !" I say out loud to that dumb cat.
He isn't even trying to hide it, this guy... he has been enjoying his life way too much recently, I must make sure that his luck stops today.
"I want to wait for them to transform." Suggests my fake girlfriend.
"Are you crazy !? They like, gonna try to kill us." stammers Karen.
"They are you're friends. They'll recognize you."
"No they won't !" shouts Karen with a serious face.
"Then I'll enjoy seeing you being torn apart, my dear bear. Rejoice as I shall help you betray your friends. Hoppity hippity they are now my property."
"How are you even seeing anything with these bangs of yours Princess of dorks ?" she insults her.
"I am glad that you asked. As a proof of gratitude for choosing my side, I'll reward you with the truth you're seeking for."
"Go ahead and say it."
"The talented individual that I am has the wonderful power to peek and see through a lot of things. Everyone I watch is naked, except for Shadow."
"Ah ! That bodyguard of the Demon Lord, why hasn't he shown up yet ?"
"Do not ask me as I am nothing but the embodiment of darkness itself. It is no wonder that I am allowed to see such a pleasurable sight."
"Keep it simple."
"Everyone she sees is naked to her." comments Damien in the muddy background as he transforms into a cat. I'm not gonna fight yet, but Karen and Plutaria sure are ready to take them down, especially Plutaria who focuses on them.
"Your commoner name is Naomi right ? I, the greatest foe of all time challenges you in a fair fight. Do not hold back on me as I will not hold back on you. As for the boy right next to you, I will tolerate to make him a weapon fit for me."
"We're more than friends to Sanaë. We are family to her."
"But I'm her lover, I'm part of her family." She smirks. "The boy that stays with you until the end, he is just a dog. He'll do anything you say for your sake, even if it means betraying your family. How pitiful."
Naomi doesn't believe a word she says and she takes out her sword from her sheat then runs at her screaming words I can't ear properly.
Plutaria doesn't move an inch and a bunch of giant meteors fall from the sky and rapidly reach Naomi, the sword in her hand is getting empowered by light and she slices all of them as she keeps running and the meteors keep falling on her.
Karen is impressed by Plutaria's overwheming power and she knows that she can't stay here posing like a statue, that's why she takes her gun out from her pocket and loads bullet in it, shooting at the boy's leg I do not dare to speak the name until they say it.
He gets hit by the bullet but isn't affected in any way, the black haired tall boy removes the bullet from his leg and toss it in the air then do a 360° rotation and kick it towards her and she catches it as her hand becomes a bear's paw turning her hand back to human and loading again.
"You should let us go man." retorts Karen.
"I'm not giving away my family to a stranger." he declares.
She stays where she is, trying to find a spot where she can aim at him easily without getting closer since she hates fighting against them, money being her motivation unlike him. He actually sounds like a hero and isn't even showing any sign of lying, he walks across the muddy ground to get closer to Karen.
"Go to hell Karen." He says, his brown eyes filled with hatred.
Wolfboy, an old friend of mine is fighting against Karen and at this moment he wears a black jacket and a blue jean, he is almost as tall as Naomi who is taller than him and his body is well built, his short black hair being hit by the wind and making him unconfortable.
Karen do not even care about his insult, she instead provokes him with her hand using her middle and ring finger to tell him to come and get her.
"It's always a pleasure to see you being honest with yourself. The week we spent together only meant the leader to you. You never ever considered us family to begin with, that's a lie that you repeated to yourself over the years." Karen responds in a crude way.
"I'm not letting you get away in one piece." he groans angry.
"We'll see, big boy."
As he gets closer to her, she shoots a bullet once again, but this time it does hurt him in his right arm, blood dropping from it, the bullet going through his tanned skin.
From the glimpse I can see, the bullet was a red one, which means he is gonna suffer, unlike what I thought, instead of screaming to let away the pain he close his mouth in anger, punching towards her with the intent to kill and that's when I decide to scream.
"Karen he is performing the Ghost Slash !"
"I know..."
She takes a deep breath, her bright brown hair starting to lift themselves up as she summons a sword that appears in her empty hand and lands a parade with her magical sword. He gives him a hard time by pushing her to her limits, getting stronger and stronger as she is pushed back maintening her position trying to find an opening which she has a hard time to concentrate on that's why she tries to remember where his weakness is.
In the mean time Plutaria and Naomi are having a fair fight somehow, Plutaria sighing at the sight of a commoner that isn't me getting so personaly close to her.
"Dear Naomi, I do not believe in marriage so that's why we don't have a ring."
"Screw you with your lies." she says in anger.
"I'm happy to see that you think I'm lying. But it is indeed true, marriage would put me and my country in danger. Now let me show you, the true meaning of despair." she declares in a happy mood as her body is getting protected by an aura of darkness that looks like black flames.
Giant snakes appears next to the princess, her dress being blown away enough to let a smile upon the pervy cat for he sees the sight of a black panty as I decide to not hurt him because of the recent event we had together not long ago.
But then after the giant snakes are summoned, they move slowly towards Naomi that doesn't hesitate to empower her sword with light magic, putting all her energy into it, but the snakes are also protected by a dark cloak making them even harder to kill, any lowly demon would have died in a single blow. But these monsters are the creation of someone with more power than most people, even Naomi couldn't defeat them that easily. She jumps high in the air until she reaches the serpents heads and slice them apart by jumping from one to another, increasing her speed and ability to dodge the creatures that are trying to poison her with their giant tongues. She kills half of them and they finally manate to drool on her as she struggles to resist it and falls from such a high spot only having the time to use her sword and make the landing easier by cutting a tree that appeared out of nowhere, she gets tired because of the poison affecting her rapidly and blurring her vision.
"Killing you won't do. I'll slowly show you, how weak of a heroine you are." she laughs, not even moving.
"Don't think I'll give up."
"I appreciate that commoner. I like the fighting spirit in your eyes, are they passionate burning flames ?"
The princess of darkness looks away from her opponent not minding letting her guard down as she is confident in her snakes, checking how Karen handles the other dude on her own. Karen has found a way to create distance between them and shoot more bullets he doesn't even have the time to react anymore.
The black haired girl give a look at Naomi once again and mocks her with her royal laugh, not resisting the urge to say terrible things to my friend.
"Who are you exactly worm ? Where do you come from bitch ? You know what ? I, your worst opponent will make you understand the gap there is between us."
"You will pay for what you did to Sanaë." Naomi's brown eyes filled with anger and detetmination.
"Heroes talk am I right ? They are worthless. I don't believe in such naive ideas. You give hope to weaklings while yourself being weaklings. Just look at yourself, having a hard time beating me. You aren't worthy of protecting my girlfriend, you aren't worthy of anything."
"You think you're gonna get away with this ?" she asks mad.
"You know..."
She licks her lips like a vampire before continuing saying what she has to say. "I'm kind of horny right now." she continues squinting her eyes and eluding a smile.
The blonde uses her sword and increase the power of her sword while also putting an aura of light around herself.
"No no no, the world doesn't work like that blondie bouncy boobie. I trample on the weak. And before I do anything else to you, I have to say it even if I don't like to admit it. I am the child of a god, your chances of winning are none."
She is so serious, she isn't planning on killing her but on entirely something else, something that is probably even worst... but what could it be ?
"Swallow her like a marshmallow. Door of Darkness 75 open."
There really is a door I can see, a black door that seems like a portal to another unknown place filled with darkness that just appeared close to her.
Naomi backs off, sensing the danger it is to be getting closer to it, the poison giving her a hard time and even stopping her from moving further. The giant snakes disappears except for one and he swallows her in one go, the light coming from her fading away slowly but wolfboy notices that and come to rescue her by putting all his strength into beating up the snake with all his punches and kicks, but it's all pointless as Naomi destroys the snake from inside with her light magic and that surprises Plutaria as she is widening her eyes.
"You killed my snake... how is it even possible ? Don't tell me..." she stares at the sky and look at the two of them being next to each other. "I hate you daddy."
On the other hand, Karen isn't beaten but she sure got hurt by this old friend of mine, bleeding from her nose and her left arm heavily injured like she can't move it at all from what it seems like.
"What happened to Karen ?"
"She has been holding back. At least, he cared more about Naomi or she would have no bones at all."
I'm scared just by hearing what he says, Karen without a single bone isn't something I want, if possible I want her to live as much as possible and not die because of me, that's when the cat jumps on my head and headpats me with his paws.
"Don't be scared. The world is scary, that's why you should face it with courage." he pleads.
"Don't tell me that... Plutaria is gonna, she is gonna hurt my big sister..."
"Crying doesn't suit you." Damien says with a smile as he turns back to his human form.
"Stupid cat ! You had too much fun this week." I yell.
"So that's why you said no to my proposal !"
"It's because you are not my soulmate." I explain carefully.
"I'm an idiot, but I'd love that you start living for yourself." he smiles.
"Stop saying that you love me... she might kill you if she hears you."
"I don't care, spending time with you is all that matters in the end. Really, I had more fun being together with you than when I was fondling the ladies boobs."
I'm crying, saying something so inappropriate to me and making me feel bad at the same time, water drooling over my face, I don't want him to die... I want him to stay with me, to spend more time with me... and that's when I remember the harsh words, the harsh truth I don't want to hear from Naomi that is stuck inside my mind, the fact that I am selfish for breaking his heart and wanting him to live... I didn't know that he would go that far for me and it doesn't change the fact that he is a friend to me.
"Don't die for me..."
"I don't think I'll ever love someone else more than you. I'm not in love with you for plot convenience."
"Haha !" I laughed at this "plot convenience" argument.
"Don't be sorry. We all love you in our family." he says widening his stupid smile.
"I beg of you to live !" I order him.
"Don't be so selfish, I guess I wasn't the nice boy you wished for..." he insists making me feel unconfortable.
"Since when ?"
"Since you always worry about everyone being treated nicely. It kinda melted my heart. Could you at least tell me what did I do wrong ?"
"You did nothing wrong... you don't have to die... I just wasn't prepared for it when you confessed."
"You shouldn't toy with anyone's feelings... that's what a bitch would do."
"I'd gladly become a bitch if it means saving you !" I retort sincerely.
"Come on don't say that. Have you thought about my feelings ? Just because you change your mind doesn't mean you love me, we spent a whole week together but nothing special growed inside you. Being rejected is so embarrassing."
"That doesn't mean you have to die !" I shout.
"You know, you mean the world to me. But since you rejected me, I don't want to live longer and become a bad person because of it."
"Then... let me be the one that kills you..."
"Sure. I will not die before your birthday, maybe my will to live will come back. I'm not dying on your birthday. Now, we should care more about these two."
He turns me around and we witness the two werewolves still in their human form, two of my oldest friends, our leader and her dog... they are fighting with all their might as the door 75 of darkness attracts them in it.
"You guys are about to be split up. Who shall I give the joy of having an intercourse with a special horse ?"
"I don't have time for you, bitch." he says.
"Well said dog. I am a bitch, I respect no one but the strongs and my girlfriend." she replies in all honesty.
Said like that, this is not nice, quite the opposite actually, it makes me recall how weak of a kitsune I am, unlike my parents who were strong enough to beat an entire army of powerful demons, I'm so pathetic compared to them.
"Plutaria."
"Oh, you called me my favorite kitsune !" she faces me as her hair gets lifted up.
"Don't hurt them..." I beg.
"They will kill you if I let them do as they please. Just stay back, I can't promise you that as they are nothing but my dad's puppets. It might not seem like it now but once they reach you, it's game over. They are influenced by my dad. God's will is not something a mere mortal can resist, it's the highest form of brainwash, I am the only one here who can resist it." she answers in a truthful way.
"You are immune to it ?" I demand extremely cautious.
"If only. He wants to put me in trouble." She breaths.
"Is there a way to remove it ?"
"Through torture and I'll choose an evil way of saving them." Plutaria is a girl of her words...
"But you have nice intentions."
"I'm not a good person. In a matter of fact, it might not work on someone affiliated with light magic."
"Why ?"
"It's the polar opposite of mine. My creatures will enjoy making her scream."
"What do you mean cream !?" I didn't say cream right ?
"Shut up and watch as I put them inside the door 75."
She now concentrates now on focusing them they are absorbed by the door slowly, even with the power of Naomi and him combined, nothing works against it and he is swallowed whole, the door taking her time as Naomi is slowly showing an expression of despair.
"There is only one thing you lack heroine, it's not power. Unlike me, there is something you are missing, so listen carefully to my advice. Get a life. Well, you'll give a life inside. I close you Door 75 of Darkness. Now, enjoy this wet dream of mine."
She says as my best friend light is turning into waves of darkness, the door disappearing.
"Where did you make them go !? How many doors of darkness do you have ?"
"Didn't count. And where they are... I never liked them, but since you are so eager to know I'll gladly tell you. It's a treatment to God's will, a place that reveals their true self."
"Bring them back." orders Karen.
"Shut up, trash. I'm the strongest and smartest person in here. Unlike you Unbearable girl, I don't betray my friends."
"You don't have any."
"If you want them to live you better be. Otherwise I'll have to show you something."
"Where is Damien ?" I ask worried as I look everywhere.
"We wasted enough time here, let's go to my perfectly fine kingdom ! It has no name as of right now so please deal with it you two."
"And the Demon Lord fighting against the Witch ?"
"Don't worry about it. It's all part of the plot."
"What ?!"
"Then... you are the one who planned to use him as a distraction so that we save Sanaë ?"
"Please call me Ellen, Sanaë isn't a thing anymore."
"If you say so... About that kingdom, is it such a great place as you make it sound to be ?"
"Well of course my dear friend, some call it Kingdom of Lust while others use nicer words and call it Land of... something, I'll remember in our way."
I'm stunned knowing that she doesn't even remember how is called the place where she lives and even is the princess of that Kingdom of Lust, we follow her. After hours of walking we reach it or at least the road leading to it, Karen and I are so tired that we rest in the middle of the night, doing a campfire and sleeping without anything or anyone putting us in danger.
