Couldn't Believe...

Chapter 40

"So, what will you do?"
"I will go guard for now, you go enjoy the party"
"What? No! We said we'll enjoy the party together!"
"We will, but not now"
"Not funny" *pout*
*sigh* "Would you stop being such a baby? I told you we'll go together, just let me check that everything is fine"
"...Okay, but don't stay for too long"
"Yeah, yeah. Now go and have fun"
"..." *nod*

Now then, shall we have some fun, but in my way...

...

At 11 PM....

"Oh my god this is the best party ever"
"I know right! I can't believe Black Akari did all this"
"Talking about Black Akari, did you see her?"
"Now that you mention it, it's true that she disappeared"
"... I'll go search for her"
"No, wait! You can't search for her this suddenly. She'll get upset and you know that
"..."

I know that but what if she's in danger? I haven't seen her anywhere since our last talk. What if she ran away?

*sigh* "Let's go search for her"
"Thanks"

Meanwhile...

"Blackie, you're still guarding the party? You're the director, not the guards. Let me take your place"
"... Didn't I tell you yesterday to keep an eye on the others? What if they come now? What will I do?"
"I don't think they'll come. They're having too much fun"
"... *sigh* Hope you're right"
"Anyway, how many monsters did you kill?"
"1 monster and 5 demons"
"... Well that's a record"
"They thought that I might let my guard down if I was in a party"
"...Okay but change your clothes before going back, they're covered with blood"
"I know, I know
"... Blackie, can I stay here? I wanna have fun as well"
"No. you go enjoy the party"
*pout*
"... Doing this won't change my mind, and you know that"
"Not funny"
"Whatever, you better head back before-"
*BAM*
"... Too late. Just sit back and don't do anything okay?"
"What? Why?"
"My, my so you're the famous Black Akari? You're even more beautiful than I thought"
"And you are?"
"You don't need to know my name now. We're not staying here for too long anyway. I just came here because I knew that 5 demons were dead because of you"
"You know they're not completely dead"
"For now, they are. More importantly, the Demon Lord told me to come and pick you up. So please, be gentle and come with me because he really wants to see you"
"... Not before I become strong enough to beat him"
"And why would you do that? He just wants you to return home and take the throne."
"You know that's not his intentions"
"... Yeah, whatever. Just come already"
"No"
"You're quite stubborn. I'm not asking you, it's an order"
"... *smirk* And you're quite bold. If you don't want to end up just like your friends, you better go back"
"As if a stupid little girl like you will terrify me" *take out his sword and attack*
*slash* "And as if I'll let you hurt me" *slash*
"Not bad, but I'm better" *slash*
*slash* "Never underestimate a girl thirsty of revenge" *slash slash*
"Aghh!"
*attack*
*stands up* "I won't loose against someone like you" *flames directed towards Blackie*
*dodge*

Damn it! At this rate I will become a roasted girl before even doing anything...

"Sword of Hexes, you who are in me, transform me!!"
*Blackie transforms*

So... this... this is the rumored transformation of Hexes... I have to say, she's... terrifying.

"... You asked for it" *attack* *slash*
"What-"
*glare*

What in the world...?! Just a minute ago she was just a normal girl. After she transformed, the look in her eyes became even more terrifying than before! I have to do something

*block her attack* "Wait a second, I want to ask you something"
"..."
As if I'll hear you
*slash slash*
*hardly dodge her attacks* "Who is this guy? He's quite handsome."
*slash slash*
"Oh my... is he your boyfriend?"
*cut his hand*
"AGHHHH!!!!"
"Don't play with me, especially if it involves these kind of subjects"
*huff huff*

This girl... I'll make you pay for what you just-

"Black Akari?"
*stops* "...Yamel?"
"Black Akari, what is going on?'
*gasp* "I- is... is this b- b- blood on your clothes?"
"..."
"Oh my god..." *collapse*
"Monica! Are you okay?"
"I, I..."
*tsk* "And this is why I told you to keep an eye on them"
"So these people are the ones we should be thanking~ well, thanks for bringing back Black Akari."
"... Who are you? And what do you want from her?"
"What I want from her? I just want her to go back to her dad"
"What?! What are you talking about?!"
"Oh, didn't she tell you? My my~ you should know that this girl is not an ordinary magician. She's-"
"Shut up."
"Huh?"
"I said shut up!"
"... You don't want them to know, huh?"
"I don't care if they know, I just-"
"Could it be that... you still like them? Or do you still have feelings for this guy?"
"..."
"No way~ our dear princess actually has feeling? That's the biggest news of the year! Well, as a reward for letting me discover this and bringing her back, you'll get the honor of dying by my hands" *attack*
"Yamel, be careful!!"
*Yamel hugs Monica and close his eyes*
*slash*
*open* *surprised*
"... You can't die until I get a proper revenge"

Black Akari... actually saved us?

"Attacking a stupid and poor middle school girl like this is really bad, you know?"
"I was aiming for the boy"
"Who?" *push*
"Ouch!"
"Yamel? Pfft, he's even weaker than her"
"You're getting on my nerves" *slash*
*slash* "And about your question from before. I don't have any feelings towards these guys other than anger. I thought you understood that by my silence, but looks like you understood the opposite. And looks like you're not that affected by your lacking hand" *slash*
"AGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" *collapse*
"Maybe you'll be more affected without a heart. I know you're hearing me, so tell your king that I'm not coming back no matter what, so stop attacking for today and just go enjoy your New Year already"
*disappear*
*transform back to normal*

Now that I'm done with this one, let's take care of the others.

"B- B- Black Akari... What was that?!"
"No, more importantly, what about your dad?"
"... Let's talk inside"
*woosh*

A/N: What do you think will happen? Will Black Akari tell them the truth or no?
