Book One: Chapter Twelve: The Fight On The East Side

Last time, Katsu won his fight with Honos, and he carried Ally to the infirmary. They ran into Aoi and Kaoru. Aoi was cautious of Children of Purgatory.

Who are the Children of Purgatory? Ally asked. Well, they are a branch of those bastards attacking us. They are the most dangerous ones of all the people we were fighting. Aoi replied. You mean those two are going up against them? Katsu asked. I wouldn't underestimate your friends if I were you. Who are you? Aoi asked. I am the one who recommended that Rumiko to join. Kaori replied. I recommended Tomoe to come here as well. Higashiyama(Haru) replied. You will see why we recommended Rumiko and Tomoe come here and leave their post as castle guards.

I heard of you; you are the Princess of the Dragon, Rumiko Vestia. Levithan replied. You are the Prince of Dragons, Tomoe Saigon. Adelram replied. They are just titles and those are just words being told. Tomoe replied. Leviathan charged at her and clawed Rumiko. What the hell happened? Her skin didn't show any signed of my poison claws? Leviathan thought. I bet you are thinking, why didn't your attack hurt me? Rumiko asked. It is simple. All dragons have a certain weakness, but I am a unique case. Rumiko replied. What? Leviathan asked. Rumiko ran and kicked Leviathan in her side and sent her flying into the lake behind them. For example, because my dragon trait just amplifies my abilities, to be honest, I haven't used my powers in this fight so far. Rumiko replied. You are a dummy. Leviathan is a beast of the seas. Leviathan replied. Your friend over there will die at the hands of Leviathan! Adelram yelled. Wait, do you remember the story of Leviathan? It was a monster who plagued the sea. Tomoe replied. Rumiko watches out. She will kill you with her water attacks! Tomoe replied. Why don't you stay out of their battle? You are fighting me! Adelram yelled. You bastard, I will make you pay for this! Tomoe yelled. Tomoe summoned a sword. That is the spirit. Adelram replied. Rumiko was stuck in a bubble that was trapping her in a world drowning her. They sucked Rumiko into the bubble as she felt like she was about to fade away. She saw an opening. Cocky b***h got the nerve to think she is better than I, Leviathan? Leviathan asked. As the bubble started boiling, a sinister power was coming from it. Rumiko appeared with dragon scales. She was breathing hard. She summoned a spell circle. Wrath of the Scarlet Beast! Rumiko yelled. How are you alive? Leviathan asked. I escaped because you let your guard down. Rumiko replied. I see now. Aoi replied. I never thought I would have to use my dragon magic. Rumiko replied. Wait, you are about to use that sword? Tomoe asked.

I have seen that sword before. That was forged from one fang of one of the Dragon Kings. I replied. I have heard of those swords are hard to lift. Aoi replied. Yeah, you are right. Kaori replied. Wait, you wield one of the Shadow Dragon King's fangs? Aoi asked. Yes, they are hard if you don't go to the origin of the sword and train with a sword master of that specialty. Kaori replied. Isn't that right Haru? You are right, but some things are not supposed to be told. Higashiyama replied. Well, that sword is one of the most dangerous swords. It is on the ten weapons of the Ira Dragon King. Kaori replied. Wait, those are devilish weapons that feed off the negativity. I replied. That might be right, but if you master the sword to some extent, the true ability of the sword will reveal. Kaori replied. Leviathan, I want you to be careful. I have seen that tachi before. Adelram replied. What do you mean? Leviathan asked. Rumiko flashed pasted her and cut her sides. I didn't see her move an inch. Leviathan thought. It's because this sword gives me more abilities. Rumiko replied. I remember now that the sword increases the user's agility and speed. Adelram replied. So I see her strength leave her open. Leviathan thought. Leviathan started attacking Rumiko from both sides. Rumiko slashed her sword. Burn the beast, Crimson Ira Dragon King. Rumiko replied. Leviathan was burning and after the flames went away, Rumiko said. "I hate to break it to you, but I didn't even use my true strength." In the infirmary, Rumiko is such a badass. I replied. Outside, Adelram and Tomoe were frightened. Hey, Tomoe doesn't go easy on him, or you will lose the bet. Rumiko replied.

Tomoe show him no mercy. Rumiko replied. Also, you all came along with the other four. You are not very smart, are you? Rumiko asked. I figured you were going to use that chance to get in, right? Rumiko asked. One looked at Rumiko and said "You don't scare me with us, you might have beat Leviathan but not the others"

What others? Rumiko asked. Fool, you can't bring them up. Minami replied. Tomoe, let's make this quick because it seems like this is the trap. Rumiko replied. What the hell are you going on about? Tomoe asked. Don't act like you are better! Adelram yelled. Oh, I don't think that your going unpunished for trust passing. Tomoe replied. I will love to see you try. Adelram replied. He slashed Tomoe from all sides of his body. Tomoe used his powers and blended in with the environment. Tomoe ran and slashed him.

Where did that man go? Adelram thought. I found you! Adelram yelled. He cut Tomoe's cheek. Tomoe reappeared and slashed Adelram with the his sword. Tomoe looked at him and said, "... if you think I don't know what group you are all in?" We are the Children of Purgatory. Why do you have a fight against us? Adelram asked. Tomoe glared at Adelram and sheathed his sword. I didn't see or feel that slash. Adelram replied. Adelram bled out. My dragon ability is the opposite of Rumiko's fire dragon abilities. In the infirmary, we were astonished at how those two finished their fights so quickly. I am wondering what his ability is? Aoi asked. He is an elemental. He has powers of ice, snow and water. Kaori replied. So, adding his speed in with that, he is a force to be reckoned with. Aoi replied. Same for Rumiko. I replied. Outside, Rumiko and Tomoe were thinking. Hey, don't you find it odd that the people we just fought? Rumiko asked. This was too easy. Tomoe replied. Hey, who is your superior? Rumiko asked. That should be the least of your worries. Adelram replied. I never thought I would hear your voice ever again, Princess and Prince of Dragons. Makoto replied.

As Makoto appeared in front of Rumiko, she flipped.

Rumiko don't act like that. Makoto replied. Do you know this guy? Tomoe asked. Master, she is the one who did this. Adelram replied. Told you not to fight these two. They might look like they can hurt anyone. Makoto replied. One of them alone could have taken all of us on by themselves. This one right here is more deadly than she gives off. Makoto replied. Why the hell are you and your friends doing this? Rumiko asked. Can't we have a little fun? Makoto asked. Fun? Do you think beating up and injuring others is what you call fun? Rumiko asked. Why do you care? Makoto asked. He grabs her chin. Rumiko body overheated his hand to the bone. Those eyes of yours. Makoto replied. Hey, Rumiko, you burned the skin off his hand. Tomoe replied. I didn't give him permission to touch me. Rumiko replied. Makoto and his underlings left. Soon as the two ran inside HQ, they ran into the infirmary. They warned them about what had just happened. So Makoto has come out to play. Higashiyama replied. Rumiko, aren't you old friends? Kaori replied. Yes. We are one of the few survivors who were spared. Thieves and killers took him in. One day, I caught him trying a strangling a woman, but we saved her. I had to arrest him myself. It didn't feel right, locking him up. Rumiko replied. It's like that sometimes, Rumiko. Kaori replied. That man had life. How the hell did he get out? Rumiko asked. We will look more into it. Higashiyama replied. Rumiko, I could tell by the way you attacked him you really care about him. I replied. You never wanted to lock him up. Ally replied. I know that bastard. Last time, I saw that man he would talk about the woman he was obsessed with. She betrayed him. Aoi replied. Rumiko, I am sorry you have a stalker now. Ally replied. Now get your terms right. The term is called infatuated. I replied. Whatever it is, she needs a bodyguard for a while. Kaori replied. Everyone was looking directly at Tomoe. I can defend myself. Rumiko replied. I'll do it, Rumiko. Tomoe replied. That only means Makoto is planning on attacking us, but differently than today. Aoi replied. What are you talking about? Ally asked. He is going to have people attack every one of us. Aoi replied. As they were talking about it. Natsumi brushed by the door saying "That brings up memories doesn't it Haru?" Don't even remind me. Higashiyama replied.

How will Makoto fight them?

What are those two talking about?
