Fearless

Chapter 14

A month and a half later, it was officially summer, and the class was finally sent out on their first mission. Her, Bon, and Konekomaru had been sent to Tamagawa to hunt for Bariyons while the others in the class were sent off to other places for their own missions. The three of them, along with their Supervisor Mr. Neuhaus were standing in the lobby of a hotel.

"Alright everyone, rest up as much as you can tonight. Tomorrow we'll spend the day hunting for Bariyons." Mr. Neuhaus said. "Miss Pheles, I'm afraid that you'll have to share a room with Mr. Konekomaru and Mr. Suguro. We were unable to get enough rooms to get you your own separate room."

"Wait, what did you say?" Bon asked, his eyes widening a bit.

"Why so freaked out, Bonny?" Kiara asked, "I'm just sharing a room, it's not like we'll be sharing beds."

"I know that! It's just—"

"Are you shy? I would of never guessed that you of all people would be shy." Kiara teased, watching as Bon's cheeks turned red and he covered his mouth and looked away.

"That's not it." He muttered.

"Let's head up." Konekomaru said, trying to defuse the situation.

Kiara laughed, and the group walked up to their hotel rooms and stepped inside. She saw that there were three twin sized beds on one side of the room, and a small tv and desk on the other side.

"Not too bad." She said, walking over to the bed furthest to the left and placing down her backpack. She sat down on one of the beds, watching as Bon placed his stuff on the middle bed and Konekomaru placed his stuff on the furthest right bed.

"We should get to bed. We don't want to be at our best while searching for Bariyons tomorrow." Bon said.

"Right." Konekomaru said.

"I'll take the bathroom." Kaira said, then looked towards Bon, "Unless you don't mind changing with you guys."

Both of them looked at Kiara with flushed faces.

"P-please change in the bathroom." Konekomaru said.

Kiara smiled as she got her clothes and stepped into the bathroom, locking the door behind her. She changed from her uniform into a sweatshirt and some pajama shorts. Before she stepped out of the bathroom, she unraveled her tail and stretched it out, knowing that since she was sleeping in the same room as Bon and Konekomaru she'd need to keep it hidden while she sleeps, so the more she could stretch it now the better it would be in the morning. After wrapping her tail around her waist once again she unlocked the bathroom door and stepped into the room. To see Bon and Konekomaru already changed and sitting in their beds, the only light being the lamps turned on beside their beds.

"Well, goodnight you two." Kiara said, getting under the covers and turning off the lamp between her and Bon's beds. She laid her head on her pillow, and after a bit of tossing and turning to get comfortable she finally drifted off into sleep.

Kiara soon found herself in a void, a dark fog swirling around her feet.

"Irajah! Come the fuck out and face me." Kiara shouted, pulling off her necklace and turning it back into a sword.

"Now now, is that any way to talk to your father?" He asked, stepping out of the fog.

"As far as I'm aware, you're not my dad. That spots taken by someone who actually deserves it." Kiara said, lunging forwards and aiming a punch at him, though before she could make contact there was a sudden pressure around her neck as a clawed hand wrapped itself around it.
