6 Waiting

A week has passed ever since Kuro left the comfort of the witches' forest and saved that redhead, he understood a few things, the first is he needs more practice with with his maneuvering, the 2nd is his tenno abilities, he kept having these dreams of himself turning invisible and teleporting away.

Lastly he couldn't summon any other warframes or weapons for some reason, so the next day he decided to study his grimoire to the best of its abilities, though that crow outside his window kept staring without making a noise which made Kuro anxious.

"What do you want bird?!" Kuro rushed towards the window and stared at the crow in it's eyes. "What do you want?!" He kept staring into it's eyes while it stared back, it's pitch black eyes staring as if its looking directly into his soul. "Go back to mother shoo shoo!"

Kuro pointed towards the witches' forest, the crow followed his finger to look off into the distance before turning around to start cawing him, still it didn't budge. "Fine, be that way" grumbling to himself he went back towards his bed and started reading into his grimoire once more.

Creating a blood dagger, Kuro threw it into the air to cure a bit of his boredom. When it was about to land into his hand it automatically liquefied and got absorbed into the grimoire, Kuro's eyes went wide as a new spell with blood spots appeared.

[Garuda: Stain her talons crimson, steep the soil in red. To quell her endless bloodlust, the murderous maiden Garuda slays her prey with coldblooded elegance and strides upon their corpses in a horrific display of visceral carnage]

"This is just a guess but I'm assuming my grimoire must absorb different elements to bring out certain warframes and weapons?" asking himself this, he felt the mana spread through his body and just like Excalibur, A suit appeared before him on its knees that seemed to be a female considering its slender curvaceous build, its helmet was bird like helmet that was white, red, and blue with a white M in the middle.

Its neck was red with a white color going around it in a scarf design that went down to its breast, the arms were red but slowly became blue with a beast like appearance at the end, from its breast to its toes the body with blue with a line of red on the torso, around its wrist had weapon like talons that was tall enough to reach its head, its elbows had scarves reaching the floor as well, below its breast, thighs to ankles were covered in a white armor.

Looking at it from top to bottom Kuro hit the bottom of his hand against his palm, he has reached enlightenment. "It's the gore queen"

Kuro grinned and looked towards the crow, it's eyes were widened a bit looking at Garuda but it quickly went back to normal and looked towards Kuro.

"Welcome to the world Garuda, looks like I have a new partner" Smiling Kuro started to spread his many towards his right hand, slowly a blue, red, and white semi-auto crossbow formed. "Nagantaka, looks like I was right"

As Kuro was about to make Garuda disappear an idea quickly popped up into his head, dissipating Nagantaka he focused his mana onto his wrist and talons started to form. "*Whistle* Hey Mori, think I can change Garuda's form into a male? I don't mind her staying like this but I don't want to be considered a pervert by someone who jumps to conclusions.

"You should be able to, just place your hand onto her head and pour your mana into it" a confident voice resounded it his head.

Nodding his head Kuro hopped of his bed then proceeded to walk towards Garuda who was still on her knees looking at the ground, Kuro placed his hand onto her head and felt immense bloodlust pouring into him, letting out a nervous laugh he started to pour in his mana. "Aha, what else did I expect of a blood maiden?"

Garuda's form started to change shape into something more male like, once Kuro finished pouring his mana into the now temporary male form of Garuda he made it disappear. "Hope these 6 months fly by, I'm probably going to end up bored if they don't" with those words said Kuro started to meditate.

"Comedic Re- Oh he's meditating.."

--5 Months later--

"Wake up Tenno, wake up Tenno, wake up Tenno, KURO WAKE UP!"

Kuro eyes shot open and his body reflexively kicked against the wall sending him on the floor upside down. "YES, SPACE MOM?!"

Mori let out a sigh. "Its not Lotus you idiot, get dressed you have to help Rebecca with the restaurant today"

5 years, 5 months. That's how long Kuro's been in this world since Mori gave him another chance at life, first of many now thinking about it considering in the contract she'd send him out to reincarnate when she felt like it, over these 5 months he hadn't done much but work on his stealth and maneuvers, recently he's been helping Rebecca and her siblings with their work since he didn't want to considered a bum.

After getting dressed Kuro went the restaurant floor, as soon as the little ones saw him they showed a smile that could make the coldest of people warm up.

"Kuro!"

Marco came running over doing a circle around Kuro, Kuro smiled at this and placed his hand on Marco's hair to ruffle his hair.

"Morning Marco" He turned his head over to the rest of the group, Rebecca was there in her usual black maid outfit with an apron around her waist with Pem on her back, Luca was sitting on the corner waving towards him with mischievous smile on her face.

Kuro walked up to them and grabbed some menus, while Marco followed. "Is it true you're going to be leaving in a month Kuro?

Kuro nodded his head. "I'll be gone for a while but I'll try my best to write to you guys or come visit when I get the chance"

Rebecca walked over with food in her hands with a slightly red face but smiling as well nonetheless, she replaced the food in her hands with the menus and pushed the food onto Kuro's hands. "You better, things have been a lot livelier since you got here"

Over time Rebecca had warmed up to Kuro since he didn't mean any harm and came to help them work, which undoability made things easier, the same could be said for her other siblings as well, Marco came to see him as big brother figure since Kuro gave advice every now and then for some sweets.

"I really didn't do anything, redhead, I just didn't want to seem like bum even though you offered me a room for free"

Rebecca chuckled. "Just go work"
