1The King Is Still Standing chapter 2
"How is she?" I questioned moka who cradle yukari under some shade "she still hasn't woken up but she seems to resting off her exhaustion from the fight, so okay I guess" a very vague answer, but I'll take it "I really worried about her now~" kurumu stared off at a tarot card "I am very surprised that she had such power to take on these monsters but why would she be so scared of the human world~?" kurumu questioned the relevance not knowing full well "*sigh* kurumu one can be immensely strong and still carry fears just look at me! I'm this terrifying demon with power to destroy mountains but I shutter away at the single sight of scared eyes, it hurts me deep down making me feel weak" I gripped my chest remembering horrors of this human world "I know" there was a hand on my shoulder "I know you've lived in pain to peoples fear you are probably the closest here to yukari anyway" her warm hand has always been a pleasure to hold onto, "umm excuse me~" a new voice interrupted "how is witch-san doing?"
"oh you are the guys she saved right? Her name is yukari, and she's doing well" the walked their way over crouching in front of her "is yukari-chan the witch that lives around this area?"
"well if that was true she'll be your murder, seeing those monsters back there were that of witches magic"
"your serious!" they were startled by this "however this isn't her magic, so she's not your murder so ease up, we are just a newspaper club doing research on this hill's mysterious properties" they seemed to settle down a little "sorry I was jumpy see we too are researching the mystery of this place for our blog, we wanted to explore a certain part called the witches ranch because it's rumoured that a witch resides there, but only recently did it become popular because of the factory that is being built in this area and since then people have gone missing" I'm already sensing a theme with this nature fighting back "see people think the factory managers have angered the witch and are calling it a divine punishment for trespassing on this land" weird of witches to be called divine, "you guys are really stupid if you blame witches without proof" a little head popped back into the living "humans can never understand witches" and she has quite the mouth already "welcome back to land of the living sleepy head, you feeling good?" kurumu tried to question her but it failed "you forgot your lasts words to her were, 'you're just a baby' and 'go home yourself'" she winced in defeat "anyway I believe this place is too dangerous even with the help of a witch I think we should get out of here"
"oh sure, do you mind taking us to this motel located in town, our sensei should be waiting there" moka asked "oh sure we can give you a ride, it might be a tight fit though~" they signalled their car as a suggestion "that would really help thanks" moka agreed to it but~ "I'm not getting in that car" I disagreed with the idea "why not shiva-kun?" kurumu questioned "I hate tight spaces~" I got queasy at the idea "don't worry it'll be a short trip, besides 'I'll give you a reward for enduring it~'" she gave me a seductive look on the last part "please don't act so sexual around me, you're making me embarrassed" I was blushing hard "hehehe~ you can't handle confident woman can you shiva?" my redness just got worse with annoyance "come on! They're going to leave us If you don't hurry!" she skipped along forcing me one option, endurance~.
"thanks again!"
"no problem! I hope we can see yukari-chan again!" we said our goodbyes to the lovely humans has they took off "I'm finally free~!" I gave a long needed stretch "I beg to all things living and dead that I never go into tight spaces again!" I was joyful for my freedom "I would be careful when wishing for things, during our honeymoon you might want the opposite~" kurumu came up to me with weird ideas "*chu~* there's your reward for enduring~" she passionately kissed me on my check with a light blush "uhh~ yeah, It was nothing~" my checks were brighter then hers and someone fumed of jealousy, moka's faced reeked of it "come on! The motel is this way!" she kind of scares me like this. We walked for some time and I can hear whispering form everywhere, "hey dude, did you notice the hotties over there?"
"yeah the super cute one with perfect hair and style and the other one with enormous tits and her skin looks so smooth" great more glory whores for womanly looks, "This is awesome! I can't believe that I could meet someone so beautiful!"
"owi!"
"Ouch!" me and yukari were shoved aside from the trampling "great now we're never going to get to the hotel~" I was annoyed by the attention those two bring with themselves "ummm excuse me~" it seems I'm going to meet the same fate "hey if it's not rude of me to ask can you flex for us~" I turned around to see a bunch of woman glorying their eyes all over me "umm what was that~" I was embarrasses to hear a request I didn't understand "you know?~ show off your muscly figure!" I was redden in the face has some gave me examples of 'flexes' "so like this?" I raised my arms up and pulsated a U shape with them "Yes, Exactly! Another!" I cupped my hands using fingers has hooks and leaned to one side showing my right shoulder bicep "Wow! How did you get so buff~! May I touch it?" one woman just kept questing me but she just went on without me answering "well I don't remember how I got so buff~ I just kind of woke up in pain and came to this~"
"you sound like one of those interweb-woman" I was curious and worried now "what are they?"
"they're like your companions over there busty, perfect, full of youthful givens~" she seemed to complain a lot "but if you know them they can be really nice~"
"sure what ever hunk, why don't you drop by my massage area and I'll give you a full work out for free~" this is very worrying, she was getting pushy and making me feel queasy "ohh~ ummm okay~ maybe~" her eyes were glued to me, god please someone save me, "hey darling~ why do you always attach so much attention~" kurumu was the one to act quick wrapping her arms around me, "darling!?" the woman questioned annoyed "yeah~ we came here to plan for our honeymoon~" kurumu wore the nastiest smirk, like she was preying on the weak "tsk! The hot ones are always taken, well I've had my fun, see you later hunk!" seems kurumu has a repellent on her, cause they buzzed off. "you shouldn't say such false information about me"
"why~? They were climbing all over you like a jungle gym and has a future wife and dear friend I can't let that happen" just more false information to eat up, "Stay away from me!" one minute it was quite the next a girlish scream burst along with the lights "Wow! The glass just suddenly broke!?"
"what the heck just happen!?" this is becoming a dangerous situation "okay time to go, let's go yukari!" I grabbed her and ran off only having moka and kurumu follow slowly behind. "I hate it here! I'm scared of those humans and there human world! I don't want to be here!" once we were at safe distance yukari just kept bickering "come on we are so far into the day we can't just go back now~" I eased her on "No! you don't understand! I'm just a little witch who's not meant to be here! I just want to go back home~" she was reaching the verge of tears, deeply saddening "yukari I~"
"Caw!" before I could talk crows started attacking me out of the bloom "What the hell!? Where did crows come from!?" there was a flock of them all diving from the sky "AHH! Don't come near me~ Stop it!" the were peaking everywhere getting more irritating "Okay! Enough!" a blast of energy blew them away has I stood angry by their appearance "You birds are causing me quite the trouble!" my appearance was no short of horrifying, like always the dark driven armour and abyssal eyes painted hatred toward any creature "now fly along or I will cook you into tonight meal!" I howled at the birds creating density on them some nearly fell to the floor. Once that was over I knew it wasn't truly over "Hey!? where's yukari?" moka noticed it as well, yukari has been kidnapped.
Sounds of wind and birds chirping non-stop over a metal endorse area woke our dear yukari up "huh? Where am I?" she looked around seeing the crisp air and felt cold concrete "welcome back, sorry for taking you unconscious, please believe it wasn't meant in any Ill matters" yukari looked forward to meet a tall blacked haired woman surrounded by crows "I just wanted to show you truth of this world" she spun around showing the comparison of fresh tattered clothes on a blank wall of construction "look at this city there's no wind, no water, no flowers not even a breath of earth can be felt, has a witch you know the only word for these humans is pitiful" this woman was reading yukari like she was an open book, like she knew yukari since she was young "who are you~?" yukari questioned "Oh! excuse my rudeness, I'm ruby I'm also a resident of the witch's ranch and I want to be your friend" yukari was curious by the request, "you must know by now how disgusting humans are? I've been here a long time and I watched the humans destroy everything, they destroyed the greenness of this land with their pitiful steel and pollute the blueness of the oceans with their factories, this is why humans are our enemy" ruby was appealing to yukari feint heart "those same humans, they're planning on destroying the sunflower patch along with my home" yukari started to reveal a sunflower "that is why yukari-chan, I request you to help, help fight against those vile humans and protect Our home" she placed it in her hands "so? will you help us? Dear friend yukari-chan?"
"sure~" without looking she blindly agreed with her hatred for humans "Really! Yay! Congratulation on join us! We'll be best of friends!" ruby closed her hug on yukari just delighted, "hold on one dam second!" both yukari and ruby spiked towards the edge of the wall seeing a monstrous figure spewing darkness "shiva?~ is that you?"
"yes I am shiva and I've come to tell you something important!" yukari didn't understand why he looked so angry but he was pressuring her "Why did you run off?" yukari thought she'll be yelled out more but she looked up to see an innocent face "you keep making me worried about you I nearly had a break down" she was confused, why is he so nice she then saw his arm raise up and worried again "come" she opened her eyes "come, let's go home I'm starting to hate this place as well, I just want to relax with my friends" she saw a pleasant greeting with softness behind it, she went to accept it. *Slice!* "gyak!" before her happy ending could come she saw blood explode and shiva fell "no, no yukari-chan~ humans are our enemy, no matter our monstrous they look it's just a trap to make you feel comfortable so they can betray you~" yukari turned to see a dull ruby sprouting wings like the ravens "we must kill on sight without hesitation, k?"
"SHIVA" yukari scream into total agony has shiva's body fell to the floor "now, now dear yukari~ don't look like your suffering" ruby began to talk "he might look weird but he was merely human, besides I'm going to be your friend from today onwards" ruby had a deathly glare in her eyes fixated on the 'corpse' "why would you do that~" yukari sat next to shiva crying tears for him "hmm~? What was that?"
"I said why would you do that!" yukari burst her anger "he was my friend! He cared about me and you just killed him!" ruby flinched "he could of helped! Helped with your stupid farm! Your stupid ranch! But your hatred has blind you to trust no one!" yukari also blinded by her anger said some mean filled things, "how could you~" ruby spoke weaken "how could you say mean things against your own race~? And worst to defend a human?! what is wrong with you!" this yelling anger as become a really problem. *tsh~* "will you girls shut up" yukari turned around to see a blacken body stand up "this talk of being human is really pissing me off" yukari noticed the cut was generating steam and closing "How are you standing! I sliced a vital organ! If you were human you should be dead!" ruby was confused and terrified "I thought it was obvious? I'm clearly not human!" the power I yield exploded a bit pushing her back a bit "what is this power? Humans are this strong!?"
"WILL YOU SHUT UP ALEADY! I'M NOT HUMAN! AND NEVER COMPARE ME TO THOSE SCUM!" anger also exploded out of my mouth "yukari was right you know! I would loved to help you!" she feared my demonic stare "but you just had to push your luck and cut me! Know I'm going to put you in your place!" I stepped closer to her she got more scared "stay back! Don't you know what I am!?" she rose her wand shakily pointing it at me "I'm a proud witch! an honourable race! Nothing will stop my plans from succeeding!" she arched her wings at me "SO just drop dead!" with one swipe she missed once more "I said die!" this time she dived straight down centre, what she didn't see was shiva disappear and appear behind her "Step off"
"Ugh!-" she met his fist plant straight down into her stomach knocking her out the sky, "so long little witch"
