Satsuki pov: "Arcueid, wait up!" I yelled, trying to catch up to the devious vampire.
"I don't have to listen to you!" Arcueid said mockingly, "You can't beat me in a fight!" She scoffed
"T-that's true, but I can at least break your legs; I have a reality marble!" I shouted
"Hmmm.. you would be a tough match, but I'm confident in my abilities." Arcueid stated confidently.
"Sion would kick your butt in the long run," I said.
"Pft, I won our bouts!" Arcueid shouted
"No, all of them were draws, and Sion was packing you in each fight!" I said
"That's not true, I got hits in..." Arcueid pouted
"You seem so sad all of a sudden," I said, chuckling a bit.
"Shut up, moron!" Arcueid yelled
She ran into the distance and I had no choice but to follow. We both hate Roa, but she was being reckless as soon as she reached top speed, she suddenly launched herself into the air to try to lose me.
I followed suit, launching myself forward and soon realizing that I was in front of Arcueid.
"W-what!?" Arcueid said, in shock, as she landed and noticed I was there in front of her.
"How strong are you?" Arcueid yelled
"I'm not strong at all." I stated
We were silent for a while as the chirps of the crickets blared and drilled into our ears.
"You liar..." Arcueid scoffed
"Shut up..." I growled I wasn't going to be called a lair again. I'm not a monster. I'm someone who was suffering.
I glared at the moon, noticing it was red; we were truly under a blood moon.
"My sister must be around," Arcueid suddenly said.
"Why is that?" I asked.
"My father is the crimson moon, that's why I can summon it. My sister makes blood moons," Arcueid stated.
"What's the difference?" I questioned
"You naive child," Arcueid said.
I glared at her and began to laugh. Of all people, she didn't deserve to call me naive. I wasn't. I was well aware of what we were dealing with. I just wanted to imagine that it wasn't so bad.
"If you can keep up, I may as well just stay with you." Arcueid scoffed
I smiled at her a bit; she seemed to be warming up to me just a little bit, even if she had a rude exterior.
"So Roa was your husband, right?" I asked
"Fiancé..." Arcueid corrected
"Why'd you want to marry him?" I asked
"He used to be handsome," Arcueid said.
"Do you have any other crushes?" I asked
"Well, Shiki maybe, Ciel in the past, but she's an annoying bitch, and Sion is my current interest," Arcueid stated.
"Why's that?" I asked
"She can keep up with me," Arcueid stated.
She seemed driven by battle, so it makes sense; if she lost control, there is no way someone like Shiki could stop her unless it was Ryougi...
I didn't understand why I was so stuck on Ryougi; she was just like Shiki, yet so much more likeable; she has such a cold demeanor, yet she's nice on the inside.
I know that this Ryougi is only Shiki's interpretation of her, which formed a new personality, but it's so much better than all his others; at least she hasn't tried to kill me.
"Do you have a crush?" Arcueid asked
"I think I like Ryougi Shiki." I said
Her eyes widened, and she grinned.
"That's interesting; I thought you hated Shiki," she said.
"I do; well, hate is a strong word...." I said
"I get it!" She said loudly
We found a couple of ghouls. I lunged at them and crushed their skulls.
"Watch out!" Arcueid screamed
Suddenly a ghoul appeared behind me and smacked me, sending me hurdling into a nearby tree. Arcueid jumped at the ghoul, trying to kill it.
"Long time no see Arcueid," a woman stated.
"Altrouge!" Arcueid screamed
I got up in time to see Arcueid get swatted away by the black-haired woman staring her sister down.
"Oh, you're up..." Altrouge spoke calmly. "Swarm.." she said suddenly, a tone of ghouls appeared.
"S-shit..." I said one of the words that Sion told me not to say.
There were too many ghouls-about 500-and she had mystic eyes the same as Arcueid's. I gulped in fear.
"That's it, marble phantasm!" Arcueid shouted
"Not so fast, your opponent is me." Altrouge stated as she clashed with her sister.
"Damn it!" I screamed as I was overrun with ghouls.
These weren't low-level ghouls either; they have been buffs. There was no chance a ghoul got on top of me and managed to overwhelm me. I was going to die when suddenly someone bashed the ghoul's head in with a wooden plank.
"Are you okay, Saachin?" Arihiko asked
"What are you doing here?" I panted
"I live here," he stated, pointing to his house.
"I don't want to involve you again." I said
"Don't worry about it," he said calmly.
"I am worried!" I shouted
"Don't be... you can handle this, can't you?" Arihiko asked
I took a deep breath and bit my lip, feeling my blood drip down my face.
"I can try..." I stated
I could try my reality marble. I needed to strengthen it anyways, but I noticed that my powers have been toned down in the blood moon. I was weakened.
"Arihiko, stand back..." I stated, "Reality Marble: Depletion Garden!" I yelled
Everything around began to die as the reality shifted.
"Wait... I have to kill you!" Altrouge screamed
"No, you don't!" Arcueid screamed
"Move that girl! She can kill Wallachia!" Altrouge screamed
"That's the plan!" Arcueid spat
"Damn you!" Altrouge growled
"Special technique, infinite grapple!" I yelled
I grabbed one ghoul and threw him at the others. As soon as he bounced off, I grabbed him again and slammed him onto the ground. He bounced up, and I hit it with a barrage of punches on rebound.
If I wanted to, I could keep him in the air forever, but I had to clear out the others.
"I'll help you soon, Arcueid," I stated as I charged forward.
