Time passed...
The Takahashi Clan's situation became more and more severe.
Their businesses were raided by Kageyama Clan assassins.
Their business deals were cut off.
The Clan slowly started becoming dependant on Yamamoto Clan.
But, this all didn't affect that much to Arisu.
Her life had become very dull.
She had now no one to talk to, everyone stayed away from her...
Those who did talk to her will stop so from the next time.
The only ray of light in her world was Alex... He was her only ray of sunshine.
Arisu looked out of the window.
It was evening, the winter wind slowly entered the class and left from the door.
As the days of winter were coming to closure, the coldness in wind slightly decreased.
She remembered a certain news anchor saying, that it might be the last snow of the year today.
She wanted to see this one with Alex.
Arisu had come to a conclusion in last few months...
She had fallen in love with Alex.
But...
May be he didn't feel the same about her...
May be he just thought of her as a pitiful girl. May be a little sister or may be just a cute pet that he needs to care for.
Arisu wasn't lying when she thought about this.
Alex never touched her, at most he will look at her lovingly and pat her head.
She started doubting if he even cared for her...
But, that didn't matter. She had fallen in love, now he was the important for her.
Without him her life was meaningless. She was sure of this...
Arisu sighed and stood up.
She straightened the jacket of her winter uniform.
But, just when she wanted to go out a certain someone entered the class.
Arisu stopped for a moment, as she looked at the person who had kept bugging her for many months.
He had stopped doing so after what happened to her, so she was surprised seeing him here.
" Can i help you with something Yamamoto-kun? " Arisu asked to Yamamoto Ryuji, the prince of Yamamoto Clan and grandson of current head of Yamamoto Clan.
Arisu tried to sound well even though she was irritated with this person, as Ryuji was from same family as Alex.
" You can not, Arisu-chan, that's why I came here to help myself, " Ryuji said as he licked his lips while watching Arisu from up to down.
He looked like a perfect son of a bitch who needed a thrashing.
Arisu convulsed in disgust at Ryuji.
How dare he... Only her Onii-chan Alex could look at her...
Arisu's hand went to her trusty Kendo stick, she usually had these lessons from her uncle by this time.
But, he was killed by one of the assassins of Kageyama Clan..
Arisu even then kept training in kendo, as she didn't wish to throw it away.
" Don't even think about it, " Ryuji smirked as few more boys entered the class.
They were all seniors of Arisu.
Arisu felt nervous at seeing so many people, she now was doubting if Ryuji was really going to do something bad to her.
The camera in the class shined as a certain beautiful women was informed about Arisu's situation.
She was the headmistress of the National School, now one of Alex's slaves.
She called Alex quickly.
Alex who was busy with his adventures in another one of Royal families stopped whatever he was doing.
He was confused, but, then he understood the situation.
The situation that should have happened a year from now was happening right away.
Most likely this Ryuji was forced to do this because of his presence.
Alex sighed and teleported using another one of his expensive scrolls to get to the school.
He rarely used them, but now he needed to.
And as he expected, Ryuji was really doing this because of Alex's presence.
In the classroom, Ryuji glared at Arisu with an unpleasant glare.
This was the girl liked by that bastard Alex, he thought.
Ryuji by now knew that something very wrong was happening with the Yamamoto Clan.
His father had gone completely missing since few months and no one was even mentioning him. It was as if he never existed...
Also, his heart still ached whenever he remembered how one day he by mistake heard a weird sound coming out of his mother's bedroom.
The door was slightly open, so he peeked in and found the scene that sent shivers down his spine even now.
His always beautiful, kind and noble mother was completely naked.
She was riding on a huge white cock, that belonged to none other than Alex.
Alex's cock was going inside his mother's asshole while he fondled her breasts at the same time.
Ryuji was shocked even more when he saw another feminine figure around Alex.
She was his big sister, Minami who even though sometimes cursed him, was a very good sister to him.
But, she as well was kissing Alex feverishly while hugging him tightly.
Ryuji felt shivers down his spine, as he now tried to throw away that image.
He glared at Arisu hatefully, " Now I'll show you what it feels like, " He wanted to say this to Alex.
" N-No. Don't come closer, " Arisu said while unsheathing her kendo stick.
" It's useless Arisu-chan, " Ryuji said, confident in their numbers.
He licked his lips while looking at the young peach like figure of Arisu.
It was really a shame that she was already fucked by Alex.
" Don't resist, " Ryuji said with a vulgar smirk while trying to reach for Arisu's hand who was backed in the corner.
" Should we intervene? " A women suddenly appeared besides Alex who was watching everything from outside the Class.
" There is no need Kitsune, Arisu is not the one who is in trouble... She is the trouble, " Alex smiled.
He looked at Arisu whose eyes suddenly went dark.
The kendo sword she was holding took a turn at sharp angle as Arisu made its hilt hit Ryuji's jaw.
Ryuji had no time to even scream before his jaw dislocated.
Arisu glared with emotionless dark eyes at the remaining boys in the class.
" W-Wait.. " The nearest one to Arisu tried to say something before the blunt looking weapon was thrusted in his chest.
The blood flowed as the boy fell on the floor, his blood dying it.
Arisu now calmly looked at remaining ones.
" A D-Demon... " One of them said and tried to run away in fear.
But, Arisu disappeared from her spot and appeared right besides him.
Her next prey fell dead as she ended the last one's life.
She was now completely soaked in blood.
Her figure terrifying.
But, next moment the kendo sword fell from her hand, as she sat down on the ground.
Arisu looked around her with trembling eyes.
She was terrified... Of herself.
" I-I killed them... " Arisu said in a small voice as she gave one look to Ryuji who was holding his neck as if he was choking.
But, he soon stopped flailing... He had died...
" I-I'm also murdurer... They were right... " She gave a small helpless and sorrowful smile.
Arisu then went in the corner of the room and sat down there while holding her knees to her chest.
Her gaze now kept looking at unmoving dead bodies in front of her....
" Master... What was that? " Kitsune asked fearfully.
When Arisu suddenly killed all of them, even she a demi-godess felt a certain emotion... A fear...
" I don't know exactly... But... She has something residing inside her, but it's too weak, " Alex smiled.
" It's weak? " Kitsune was shocked.
A being capable of sending shivers down her spine was weak??
" Yeah. The creature is very weak right now otherwise I can feel its raw strength... When it was at its strongest its strength should be unimaginable by this World's standards... The lower worlds are really interesting, " Alex smiled as he walked towards the classroom.
As soon as he entered inside the classroom, he made a surprised expression at seeing the gory scene.
But, his eyes then fell upon his Arisu who was curled into a ball at one corner, her whole body as well covered in blood.
" Arisu, " Alex said slowly.
Arisu pulled her small head up and stared at Alex and as soon as she saw his her eyes started welling up with tears.
She stumbled upon her legs.
" Onii-chan... I'm sorry... " She cried as she held Alex's hand like an abandoned cat.
She was afraid that Alex will now berate her.
But-
A gentle pat from Alex was all it took to soothe her down.
Her love and trust in him multiplied as her belief that Alex was the only one who cared for her became more pronounced.
" It's fine. My Arisu won't do such a thing unless she was forced... " Alex said.
"T-Thank you onii-chan... " As soon as she heard that Alex believed her, she fainted in Alex's hands.
Alex didn't move to help her.
He just stared at all the dead bodies around and said in a disappointed voice.
" This is the least worst fate you could have by going after my women, " Alex kicked the corpse of Yamamoto Ryuji.
Soon, the principal of the National school entered the classroom along with some more females.
Alex took Arisu back to her small home.
There he sat in the living room as Kitsune helped unconscious Arisu wash up.
Soon, both Arisu and Kitsune showed up.
Arisu had wet hair and sullen eyes. Now for real she understood how big of a mess she had created.
She followed the very beautiful big sister who had helped her wash up.
She wondered if she was Alex's girlfriend? The thought slightly hurt her, but she knew that someone like Alex for sure had some relationships at least.
After coming near Alex, she just stood there while Kitsune casually sat beside Alex.
Alex seeing the hesitant look on Arisu said, " It's not your fault. What you did was justified. "
" B-But... " Arisu knew that, but she had killed a person who was in a lot more important position than her.
Even if Takahashi Clan was in normal situation, this event would have made Arisu go through hell, not to mention now when Takahashi Clan was half dependant on Yamamoto Clan.
" C-Can we hide everything? " Arisu asked.
" That is not possible, at least not anymor. The video of you killing Ryuji has been leaked by someone at school. May be someone from Kageyama Clan did that, " Alex sighed.
" I wanted to take blame upon myself... " Alex sighed again and just then the door bell of the house rang.
" I'll check, " Kitsune said as she went to the door.
And Arisu was surprised to see Hina there.
" Aunt... "
But, Hina just stood there and glared at Arisu, " Don't call me aunt. Because of you we are in a most unenviable situation. Only if you didn't have the same surname as us. "
" I'm sorry... " Arisu apologized, not knowing what to say she could only look down.
" If we were in any other situation, we could have sent you away. But, in current situation the only way to mend the relationship between two clans is by punishing you appropriately, " Hina said as she gave Alex a sidelong glance.
He was acting as if he didn't exist there.
" Appropriate punishment? " Alex asked.
" Yes, " Hina nodded.
Arisu clenched her fist knowing only death can be an appropriate punishment in this situation.
In Sakura country hurting someone of Royal Clans was a crime, because they held power.
As Arisu was feeling despair a gentle hand touched her head.
" You'll be fine. I'll protect you, " Alex said.
" You're saying so, but I wonder if now dead Ryuji's parents will agree, " Hina said sarcastically.
" I'll make them agree, " Alex said.
" I don't think so, after the news was leaked. This is now the problem that touches the reputation of two majestic Clans, " Hina shook her head.
" So, you are ready to foresake the reputation of your Clan and punish Arisu? " Alex asked.
" Yes. I'll punish her appropriately, " Hina nodded.
" And what might be that appropriate way? " Alex asked.
" We will send her away from the country, banished for forever from her motherland. It will for sure be a good punishment, " Hina said.
" No. I'm not going anywhere. Onii-chan, please. I don't want to stay away from you, " Arisu cried as she held Alex's arm pitifully.
Alex was the last person who she thought of as a family.
Right now, he had already surpassed the importance her heartless brother once held in her heart.
Alex caressed Arisu's head and acted as if he was thinking about something.
After a minute he said, " Hina, you don't need to care about this problem. "
" Why is that, may I ask? " Hina narrowed her eyes, but inwardly she knew that the conversation had reached to its destination.
" Because this is the internal matter of Yamamoto Clan, " Alex said making Arisu widen her eyes in surprise.
Even, Hina asked with a surprised expression, " What do you mean? "
" Arisu is my wife. She is no longer Takahashi, " Alex said calmly making Arisu stunned.
She now understood what Alex was doing.
He was taking all the blame on himself by marrying her.
" O-Onii-chan... "
Alex didn't say anything to Arisu, but he looked at Hina who smiled charmingly now.
" I see. So, this really has nothing to do with Takahashi Clan, " Hina nodded with a smile.
Arisu now had a hint about what her aunt was doing right now.
Arisu felt sad seeing that Hina was trying to use her to form a connection between Takahashi and Yamamoto Clan.
A marriage similar to that of Kai and Honoka that happened a month ago and bolstered their alliance.
Arisu felt like a pawn, but she felt infinite gratitude from Alex, who even though knew this scheme of her aunt decided to save her.
Alex then snorted, " You got what you wanted. I'll talk with my adoptive mother about making this marriage official soon enough. "
" Of course my dear brother-in-law, " Hina's seductive smiled was let loose as she came near Alex and placed a small kiss on his cheek.
" This is my thank you. I'll see you later hehe, " Hina giggled and then took her leave.
Kitsune pouted as she glared at the now closed door with her canines out.
Arisu as well was shocked, but she had something more important weighing on her heart right now.
" Onii-chan... Why did you help me? " She at last decided to confront him.
She wanted to know, if he really loved her?
