The FireXWater

As Itori listened in class, her head began to hurt. She excused herself to the school's clinic, and Chizume followed her. Itori struggled to stand, but Chizume helped her along.

"Are you okay, Itori-chan?" Chizume asked with concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Itori replied, though her face betrayed her pain.

Suddenly, the Death Pieces broke through the wall. Itori gasped, wondering why they were there. Chizume positioned herself protectively in front of Itori, glaring at the Death Pieces.

"Give Itori up. What she's having is not a normal headache!" Pawn 1 demanded.

"Why should we trust you?" Chizume retorted.

"So you really want to play like this? Too bad," Pawn 1 said menacingly.

As Chizume blinked, Pawn 2 and Pawn 3 disappeared. Pawn 1 charged at her, claws extended. Chizume blocked with her arms, but Pawn 2 kicked her in the left waist while Pawn 3 carried Itori away.

"Are you freaking kidding me?" Chizume exclaimed as she struggled to her feet and the chase began.

Pawn 1 and Pawn 2 intercepted her, using ultima magic to launch multiple attacks. Chizume dodged as best she could, but one hit her, spreading smoke. As the smoke cleared, Pawn 2 emerged, thrusting a drugged arrow into Chizume's shoulder, causing her to slowly pass out.

Pawn 3 put Itori in a tree about five hundred meters away from the school and ran as fast as she could. Itori, confused by what was happening, felt her heart burning. Her eyes turned to fire, and a ring of fire surrounded her. She pulled a spear out of thin air and thrust it into the ground, causing a huge explosion. Pawn 3 barely escaped as Pawn 1, and Pawn 2 watched from a distance.

On the rooftop, Ashira charged at Itsuka just as the explosion occurred. Itsuka remained unfazed. The vice president and the president were immediately called to check on the explosion.

As Ashira's attack was mere inches from Itsuka, she backed away and glared at him before leaving.

Itori flew up, her hair ablaze, and laughed as she headed straight for the school. Chizume woke up and froze, seeing her best friend going berserk.

"This is what we were telling you, Chizume. Because you resisted, we ran out of time. Look at the situation now," Pawn 1 said.

The group on the rooftop watched as Itori, surrounded by three rings of fire and a giant spirit carrying a spear, flew towards the school.

"That's an X holder right there," Itsuka remarked.

"Huh, ISN'T SHE YOUR SISTER!?" Mazuri shouted.

"I know. I need to stop her," Itsuka responded.

Itori didn't hesitate to attack the school, throwing her spear and setting it ablaze. She rampaged through the school, burning students and teachers, laughing maniacally.

"I can't believe Itori is an X Holder. How did I not know about this?" Itsuka thought to himself.

The group readied themselves as they descended the staircase.

"Aoki, can't you do anything about this?" Itsuka asked.

"I can only use my ability for ten minutes. It'll be hard to fight her if I transform now since she probably doesn't have a limit," Aoki explained.

"How can you be sure about that?" Shosuke questioned.

"Because it once happened to me," Aoki admitted.

"You've gone berserk like this before?" Faye asked.

"Yeah," Aoki confirmed.

In the gymnasium, Itori was surrounded by the student council and teachers. She laughed at them.

"Hahaha! Do you really think you can put up a fair fight against me? I've already destroyed half the school, despite its seven layers of resistance from the previous heroes," Itori taunted.

Hutaro Hishira, the student council treasurer, grunted and stared at Itori.

"Fine, show me what you can do!" Itori challenged.

Minato charged first, his hand turned to metal. A strong wind vibration hit Itori, who blocked with her spear. She spun her spear, hitting Minato in the chest and burning him. Hutaro, a swordsman, attacked from above, but Itori created a clone of herself that charged at him. The clone thrust its spear, causing an explosion that sent Hutaro flying.

Ashira transformed, biting Itori's waist and smashing through rooms until they reached outside. Itori tried to escape, but Ashira breathed fire on her, burning her and throwing her across the school field. Despite her wounds, Itori laughed, pulled out another spear, and healed herself.

Caught off guard, Ashira tried to block with her wings as Itori's spear grew. The spear thrusted into Ashira, burning her and rendering her unconscious. Chizume arrived at the scene.

"Itori, what the hell is the meaning of this?" Chizume demanded.

"Itori is already dead. I consumed her soul. The only way to stop me now is to kill me. Hahaha! Do you know who I am? I am Daitrus, the Fire King, finally free! Now die, you idiotic lizard!" Daitrus declared, summoning a million spears to rain down.

As Chizume blocked the spears, the Queen Piece appeared, grabbing Itori and slamming her headfirst into the ground. Daitrus, now enraged, flew up to confront the Queen Piece.

"Don't tell me the second strongest Death Piece is already after me. Losers," Daitrus sneered.

The Queen Piece, Izayu, took out her claws and charged at Daitrus. Daitrus pointed her spear, but Izayu punched it, breaking it and hitting Daitrus in the face, causing her to bleed and fly across the air. Izayu followed up, thrusting her claws into Daitrus's chest. Daitrus screamed, transforming into a tsunami. Izayu flew off as Daitrus became Dayatress, the Water X.

Thinking she could finally destroy the school, Dayatress was intercepted by Aoki, who sliced the tsunami in half. Dayatress transformed back into Itori, who tried to reassemble herself but was too late. Aoki's sword struck, and Daitrus transformed back to Daitrus. She pulled out her spear, but Aoki's attack hit first, causing a large explosion.

As the smoke cleared, Itori lay unconscious on the ground.

As Itsuka, Faye, Shosuke, and Mazuri made their way down to where Itori lay unconscious, Itsuka cradled her in his arms, tears streaming down his face.

"Itori, please don't die on me right now, please!" he cried, hugging her tightly.

Aoki landed nearby, observing the scene. Minato and the others arrived and witnessed a rare side of Itsuka: a side that revealed his vulnerability, his suffering hidden beneath a mask of smiles. Minato, for the first time, felt a pang of sympathy for Itsuka. Ashira realized that Itsuka was just an ordinary student caught up in extraordinary circumstances due to the First Princess's orders. As rain began to fall, the scene grew more dramatic.

"What the f*ck caused this?" Itsuka demanded, his voice filled with anguish.

At that moment, the First Prince and the Platinum Knights appeared. The Prince gently took Itori from Itsuka's arms.

As the rain fell, Itsuka's thoughts raced. **Itori is an X holder. She's going to be taken by the Kingdom. I could help her, but let's see how this plays out. Besides, my act is just magnificent right now.**

"Please, don't take my sister away from me, Your Highness! She's something I cannot have twice!" Itsuka pleaded, his voice shaking with emotion.

"Well, I guess that's too bad for you, Itsuka. She's an X holder, and this business is not for you to handle," Hikaru replied coldly.

"F*ck, what did I do to deserve this!?" Itsuka yelled, his mind racing. **Am I fooling myself right now?**

Everybody felt pity for Itsuka as hikaru ttok away his sister as Itsuka was left at this cold raining scene, no one to comfort him as he rans away from school tears flowing down his eyes.

"I guess I was really was wrong for blaming him" Hikaru exclaimed.

The situation was deep and heavy. The next day, Itsuka stayed home, not going to school.

**This is freaking amazing. I'm acting like that sad boy at school, but isn't this so corny? Nah, I bet they are worried about me at school. Anyways, I better head back to base,** Itsuka thought.

He teleported back to the Death Pieces Base, where Nyatori jumped on him happily.

"Death, where have you been!?" Nyatori exclaimed.

As Itsuka patted her head, Kaname saw him and gasped.

"Itsuka, you're actually Death!?" Kaname stammered.

"What if I am?" Itsuka replied coolly.

"Nothing, sorry... But does this mean Hikaru was right?" Kaname asked.

"Yeah. Anyway, I'm staying here for the night," Itsuka said dismissively.

"Why? What happened?" Kaname pressed.

"Private business you shouldn't know about," Itsuka snapped.

"Stop acting like that!" Kaname shouted.

"And stop screaming at me," Itsuka retorted, grabbing her arm and pinning her to the wall. "Don't think highly of yourself right now unless you want to die. I'm the leader of this organization, and even if you are the new Demon King, I'll still easily manage to kill you."

Itsuka released her, and Kaname grunted as he walked away. Izayu entered, happily greeting him.

"Master, how has it been?" Izayu asked.

"I'm thinking of leaving school now to focus on the Death Pieces," Itsuka said.

"Ehhh!? Really?" Izayu replied, surprised.

"Although I'm not sure if I should do it," Itsuka admitted.

"Well, just pick the decision that you think is right!" Izayu advised.

Itsuka patted her head, and she closed her eyes, kissing him on the lips.

After class, Mazuri and Shosuke went to Itsuka's dorm. They knocked, but no one answered. Later, Faye, Lea, Alya, and Aoki also arrived. As Itsuka teleported back to his dorm, he heard his friends speaking at his doorstep.

"Itsuka, we know you're sad about your sister, but you have to understand we can't really do anything about it. Please, just listen to us," Aoki said.

"Itsuka, your sister was taken by the Prince. If we try to help her, we'll only get in trouble. So please, open the door," Faye pleaded.

"Itsuka, we know you're having a bad time, but please just open the door for us. We brought you your favorite food, curry rice," Mazuri added.

**For truth to be told, curry rice really isn't my favorite food. It's just something I picked since I wanted to be ordinary,** Itsuka thought.

"We know you can hear us, Itsuka..." Shosuke said softly.

**To be honest, I have five different emotions: sociopathic, maniac, delusional, mature, and chuunibyou. Combining those emotions makes the one I usually show at school,** Itsuka thought as he remained staring at the door in silence.

He sighs and took his important stuffs as he writes something on a piece of paper and placed it at his bed before summoning a portal and entering it as the portal disappeared after he enters.
