Terrius POV " Oi! Topic change! Stick to the change!" Manor growled. I laughed. " Wait... If I'm greed doesn't that mean V1 is sloth?" Manor quickly added, trying to change the topic again. " In a way... Did Misaki create all of you to have one of the deadly sins?" " I don't know. .. maybe. .. Maybe that's how she checks if a Version is stable or not." " Wouldn't that mean that V1 and V2 aren't stable?" " I guess so... but maybe because of all the drama that's going on or that they are hiding it from her? Maybe that's why V0 doesn't do anything about it?" " Hmmm... So if V1 is sloth, V2 is lust, V4 is wrath, V5 is pride, V6 is gluttony and you are greed." " Which makes either V3 or Kaen envy. " " I can't see Kaen as the envy type. .. If you ask me, the way he acted when V1 piss him off was definitely a low level of wrath and he does come off as prideful once in a while." I pointed it out. " Na! Kaen's failure warning should be crying. He's too perfect to have any s
Terrius POV " Looks like we're lucky enough to get a horse. Due to the panic, everyone has been renting the wagon, carriages, and buying off all the horses. Looks like we'll have to share. " I say with a mischievous smile but then I noticed Manor still in his leopard form staring at the horse with panic swirling in his silver eyes. I then realized something. .... I have never seen a Version ride a horse before. " What's wrong, Manor? You afraid of the horse?" I grin knowingly at Manor. " ...Wha.. what?... Me... Afraid of that!... Please, I can easily eat it.... Besides, you have seen me control that... before..." " Oh? Then it shouldn't be a problem even though we don't have a caravan then." I say in a challenging way, as I mount the horse, knowing Manor would bite his tongue and mount even though he's scared out of his mind. "... Yeah... no... problem. ..at all..." He says timidly as he approaches the horse but what shocked me the most was how the horse didn't freak
Manor POV " Seriously? *Chewing* So much budding *swallowing* romance in a deadly dying forest?" Someone huffed in between talking with a full mouth. I instantly recognized that voice. " V1?!" I exclaimed. V1 suddenly appeared sitting on the ground next to the satchel digging through it and eating the food. " Oooh! Cookies! You always *chewing* did know my favorites Terrius. " V1 happily chimed as he pulled out the cookies. " What are you doing here? What was that shrieking sound?" I questioned. " Fake sheeps. * chewing* They keep watch and keep me *chewing* informed, but I'm sure you knew that, Terrius, since *gulp* you were purposely kicking *chewing* trees and waking up as many as you can on the way here. *Moans* Tasty. " V1 answered as he crammed cookies into his mouth. He knew? " I knew they were going to call you but I didn't expect them to start shrieking like that. I expected something like Repeater. Just like last time. " Terry nodded. " Repeater takes hours
Manor POV As soon as we left the dead woods and Terry gave the clear to take off our masks. I breathed a sigh of relief as I enjoyed the cool night air under the moonbeam of a half-moon glowing in the starry night sky. " Beautiful Night isn't it? Just seeing this makes me feel like the death forest and the nearing apocalypse of the world is nothing more than a distant dream." I turned to Terry with a smile just to notice he was looking a little pale. " Yeah, you're right my pet." Terry says as he looks down and gives me a weak smile. His milky violet eyes had lost that violent vibrant color that use to swirl in his eyes. Both my paws grab his cheeks, pulling his face closer as I noticed his rosy complexion a little faded. I then recalled how as soon as I reached there, he gave me the potion... We went to the lab and fought. " What's wrong, my pet?" Terry asks as he places a hand on my paw while looking at me. I left him at the lab and didn't see him at dinner. He left
Terry POV " So mean!" Manor pouts as he rests his head on my shoulder. " I'm sorry my pet, that wasn't my intention. I just can't get enough of you either, especially when you're looking so cute and delicious like this." I apologize with a grin as I pat his head trying to make him feel better. " 100 more and I might forgive you." " *Laughs* You sure you're okay with just a hundred? My greedy little pet?" " Then 200 and a kiss." " Oh? Just pats and a kiss?" " I don't want you pushing yourself. Tonight, let's just take it easy until you feel better. " Manor whispers to my lips as he kisses me tenderly again. Careful not to get me excited but just enough to keep me satisfied. I grin against his lips. " What a perfect pet you are." I say as I snuggle against his chest and look up at the night sky enjoying the beautiful scenery of the half-moon, shining stars along with the bamboo and small plants surrounding the hot spring, that has a little steam floating around. Th
Two Days Ago. Exactly 2 hours after Manor's departure. Hikaru POV " My apologies V7, duty calls. " V0 informs with an emotionless voice. I immediately luge forward trying to push Kaen out of the way but I was too late. Kaen once again collapses to the ground. I scrabble towards him and cradle him in my arms. I raised my hand above his head where he was struck. " Ricktrol Mutetai Bomount." I panicked while waiting for that blue clock to appear, turning back time, but it didn't come. My hand immediately reaching towards my pouch looking for the Link to the Flungoues wanting to turn back time but it wasn't there and it wasn't around my neck as well. I panicked scrabbling through myself with one hand trying to find it. Tears filled my eyes when I realized I didn't have it, but even though I knew that, my hands never stopped looking. " I wished the cycle would never end, but this is how it must be. Thank you for everything. Hik... ar..u.." Kaen struggles to say as blood tri
Hikaru POV Why?! Why!! Why can't it just be me? Why can't you love me just for being myself?!!! I cursed as I rested my face in my hands as I cried tears of frustration. At that moment, a brilliant blue light started glowing from one of the pouches of my belt and an even more annoying sound started rigging in my head. "Lips are turning blue A kiss that can't renew I only dream of you My beautiful" I groan... Stupid fucki** Soul!!!! I breathe trying to calm myself down since my fury of feelings is what's causing the Soul to sing. As long as I'm able to get rid of my frustration, it should stop signing. " Tiptoe to your room A starlight in the gloom I only dream of you And you never knew." I take deeper breaths trying to get rid of this nagging frustrating feeling, but the more it sings, the more it feeds my frustration. " Sing for absolution I will be singing Falling from your grace." " FUCK!!!" I ripped out the pouch from my belt, throwing it across t
Kaen POV I stare in shock as Hikaru suddenly appears and drags Repeater off before he could attack me. Unsure of what to do or say... I could only watch the door as he slowly reappears again. "..... Hiki....." I bit my lip and look away unsure whether he's still angry at me or not... Even I don't understand why I suddenly begged for his touch when I had Jessica. Worse, I even rejected to be his when I was trembling and moaning .... craving for him... He has every right to be angry ..... How could I have not noticed his feelings for so long? How could I have been so blind? How could I suddenly want to take advantage of him just from a simple kiss? " Look... Kaen. I know I never made it clear before and ... suddenly kissing you... I'm sorry." " No! I'm at fault as well." I shouted looking at him, he gives me a shocked look before smiling at me. My heart suddenly leaps in my throat. Hikaru then slowly moves closer and takes a seat next to me. " Kaen. I want to make this c
