Hikaru POV A calming breeze hits my face lightly as the sunset once again paints the sky a beautiful scarlet red. Kaen moans as he nuzzles against the side of my chest, his head resting on my shoulder blades as his arms were wrapped around my torso. His bangs cover his face as he clings tightly to my shirt. He looks so adorable when he's sleeping! I smiled to myself as I move his bangs to see his cute face more. You worried me a lot today... I thought as I recalled what happened.
Kaen POV I sleepily open my eyes as the morning sunlight creeps through my window. To my dismay, I didn't wake up to the glorious gorgeous sight of my sweet, Jessica but rather to an empty bed. Maybe I should have taken up on her offer to stay with her in the palace but she's the love of my life and I want to do it right. I sigh as I get up and stretched. My heart stirred with excitement, it is another wonderful day to spend with Jessica. I wonder what should we do today? But I don't really think it matters since everything we do together is wonderful! I smiled to myself as I got ready for another day.
Kaen POV " What?! What happened?!" I stood up in alarm causing Hoppy Bun to leap onto the table to avoid falling to the ground. " We don't really know, Whiskers was at the scene and protected her. She didn't have any physical injuries but when she woke up this
Terrius POV We waited outside of Jessica's room, the Queen pacing back and forth filled with worry. We had to remove Princess Sana since she burst into tears. Whiskers followed her to comfort her. After what felt like forever, Kaen finally opens the door. " How is she?" Her Majesty asked as she did her best to sound okay. " I managed to fix her mind but part of her soul was missing. I have done all I can but .... she feels like something that shouldn't be part of this world..... very unnatural. ...." Kaen sighs as he leans against the wall next to the door and falls on his bum. He sat on the ground depressed as he held his knees to his face. The Queen, Manor, and I immediately rush in to see Jessica. She was sitting on her bed and was looking out the window, she then noticed us, turn, and gave us a smile. I was overwhelmed with an ominous feeling that she shouldn't be there. Like it was very wrong for her to be there and it shook me with fear. The Queen cried as she hugg
Kaen POV It's nice to have friends, I smiled to myself as I headed down the hallway and came upon Manor talking to Hikaru. Manor looked extremely pissed and heartbroken as he screamed his heart out to Hikaru. Hikaru was trying to calm Manor and it looked like he wasn't succeeding. Ever since Manor joined our team, he has always been butting heads with Hikaru, and I never managed to really find out the root cause. I thought things were going well for the past couple of weeks, but then I saw them butting heads again this morning. All this seems very strange. Hikaru never really defined his relationship with Manor, but they aren't close enough to be friends yet, not strangers. I had never even seen them casually hang out before and whenever they are alone together they fight over Hikaru's very personal matters. What exactly is Manor to Hikaru? Wanting to put an end to it, I approached them, but as soon as Manor noticed me, he sighed and walked away from Hikaru. " What happened?"
V4 (Galahad) POV " I just don't think Cynthia was just a normal witch. It would make much more sense if she wasn't one from the start. " Kagome debated with much frustration in her voice. " But if she isn't a witch then what could she be? There aren't any other theories supporting this." I rebutted. We all sigh once more as we sat around a table, in what was once mine and Cynthia's home. Trying to figure out what Cynthia is, who is the creator of Version Slayers, what they plan to achieve by killing off Versions, and who could be their next target. In front of us were notes of what we had discovered from talking to the villagers, the conditions of the Catacombs, and a map of the catacombs that we drew out. Marking what we found in the catacombs and where we found it. We even were trying to paste together our stories of what happened during that day but V7's and Hikaru's part was the only pieces we didn't have since we didn't want to disturb them while they were busy lookin
Manor POV *Growls* Damn that Hikaru! What the hell is he thinking?! How can he trick Kaen like this!! I know that Kaen is an idiot for even thinking of trying to kill Hikaru, Misaki's son but that doesn't give him the right to do something so cruel!! Yes, it does higher the chances of Kaen not killing you because he loves you..... but it doesn't change the fact that it's still horrible! Starting to think about this might even fuel his determination to kill Hikaru! I mean finding out a lover figure is the guy you're supposed to kill? And that lover knew and approaches anyway, plotting every move to sway your decision while taking away your destiny?!! A destiny that was given by Misaki and taken away by Misaki... Wait... How is Hikaru at fault here? I mean it's not like he forced his mother to give it to him, right?.... Wait but how can Kaen be V7 if he doesn't have a grantee?... Could Kaen be an imposter? But V6 called him V7 and they did grow up together. .... V6 would notic
Kaen POV " Hey, sleepyhead. Time to wake up." A familiar voice whispered to me as I could feel a warm breath against my cheek. " Mhh?" I felt a hand run through my hair. I slowly open one eye and came face to face with Hikaru who was just inches away. Normally I would have been surprised at this but now I felt calm and relaxed at the sight of him. " What do you want Rookie?" I asked him as I snuggle against my pillow while a happy feeling overwhelmed me. The very thought of having a friend who is as close as family. A brother in arms, someone that always has your back on and off of battle, an equal to me. " Everyone is gathering for an early dinner since most of us missed lunch. You have to keep your strength up if you want to join tonight's patrol. " Hikaru gently informs me as he sits down on the edge of my bed. " Hmm... I hope they strike again tonight. I'm really looking forward to giving Bankotsu the beating of a lifetime. " I said in a half-asleep manner an
