14 Hazuna

"You're so mean to him." Dante said.

"Just don't turn out like me." Arius commanded. Dante was balanced on his hip as he walked towards the car, Zuna followed behind a few meters back.

Zuna stopped walking as they advanced towards the car, Arius knocked on the window. He waited for Pierre to roll it down, then he said. "Get out of the car, Janice can pick you up."

"What?" Pierre was shook. "You're kidding, right?"

"We're bringing Zuna, so I'd rather you not die." Arius put Dante on the ground.

"Why not leave her then? Why me?!" Pierre simply couldn't understand.

"Well, shes my current priority." Arius said flatly.

Pierre angrily opened the car door and got out. He walked away from Zuna's range of death and stood on the side of the road, pouting.

With his eyebrows creased together, He pulled out his phone, probably to contact Janice. "Is Zuna really more important? What I am then?" Pierre muttered. Although Arius could hear his remarks, he chose to ignore him.

"Alright, let a go." Arius opened the back door for Dante, but Zuna also hopped into the back. Her eyes stayed on Dante, absolutely entranced. Arius closed the car door and got into the driver's seat, glancing at Zuna as he got onto the road.

"You should be more kind to Pierre." Dante said with his usual cuteness. Zuna nodded vigorously as she looked towards Arius for a response.

He sighed. "Pierre is spoiled enough." Arius understood what Dante was saying, however, he had a reason for being an asshole. Pierre was the CEO, so he had to treat Janice a little better to make up for it. Besides, Pierre needed some discipline here and there.

Zuna's mind wandered a bit, a question popped into her head. "Hey, why did you let me into your car so easily?"

"What do you mean?" Arius glanced back at her.

"Well, aren't you afraid of my ability destroying it?" She asked.

"You didn't comment on that fact before so I figured it would be fine. Besides, I can always just get a new car." Arius paused. "Also, how did you know that I knew about your ability?"

"What do you mean? I'm quite sure I put it on display while your people attacked me." Zuna stated. Anyway, it kind of would be weird if he didn't know after all that.

"So, how does your ability 'of death' work?" Arius couldn't help asking.

"Well, I bring fatal misfortune to people. The effectiveness deteriorates on a single person after some time though." Zuna looked out the window. "It also won't work on the same person twice in a short time span."

"Nice to know." Arius nodded as he drove.

"So, where are we going?" Zuna moved a strand of blonde hair out of her face.

"My house."

"What?" Zuna looked away from the window and at Arius. "Don't you have an office or something?"

"What makes you say that?" Arius kept his eyes on the road ahead.

"You have all these people working for you... don't you have some kind of executive position?" She didn't ask out of curiosity, just confusion.

"I used to be a CEO, but I've started a new life. My name is currently Phil, nice to me you." Arius smiled.

"What's your real name?" Dante sat up straight.

"Uh, It's actually Arius." He scratched the back of his head, with one hand on the steering wheel.

"Mine is Hazuna." Zuna gave a bright smile. Arius could see her through his front mirror, he felt a bit happy at the sight.

"Durante, or Dante for short." The small child said happily.

The trio sat content in the car for the rest of the ride, and Hazuna would entertain the cute little Dante. Arius would occasionally look back at them and smile, he was happy with how this had turned out.
