Kagome POV "... The hell is wrong with you. ..." Shin was about to turn to run but Hikaru grabbed his hand before he could. " Wait!" Hikaru pulls Shin and made him sit on the bedside before pulling him into a hug. " ... I'm sorry about that Master. .... I... I was so afraid when I was fighting them for the soul... I knew I made the wrong move, the moment they attacked back... and when they broke my arm it just became personal for me...I didn't want my soul to be stolen, I didn't want to die..... I feared for my life, our friends, and yours..... Never in my whole life did I want someone to drop dead that badly just so I could come back home... Once more... You understand. . don't you Master?" Hikaru asks as he strokes Shin's hair. " Hmm..... But you shouldn't ever do that again. ... I don't know what I'll do without you.... Leave the fighting to me, alright?" "* Chuckles* I don't know what I'll do with you either. " Hikaru says as he kisses Shin on his cheek. " Ri
V6 (Whiskers) POV " So how is she?" Manor asked as he strolled into the living room and sat down across from me in the armchair. " Jessica? Well, she's still sad about Kaen but she's been masking it well these past three days. The Queen is too happy organizing tomorrow's celebration to notice but I think the princess notices. I have a feeling she's going to be asking about it soon. What about Kaen? How is he?" I asked as I looked at the staircase leading up to the second floor of Terrius's summary mansion. " He's so depressed that he didn't even leave his room after that incident. Everyone was shocked that he broke up with her but thanks to Hikaru's explanation. ... Well... He did the right thing. Can you believe that there's a Version Slayer in the palace?! Unbelievable!" " Neither can I! But since Kaen killed the only Version Slayer that knows about his relationship with Jessica. It's a very smart move... but a sad one.." " Everyone has been trying to cheer him up th
V6 (Whiskers) POV "He told her to have, that life and if they were meant to be, then the universe would answer his prayers. Kaen then left the room, and as soon as he did Jessica fell to her knees crying. I had to wait until lunchtime to be able to make my escape!" I groan at the memory of it as I look up at Manor, he looked quite gloomy. Kagome was already crying. " I said it in the vaguest way I could! I even added a little joke to soften the blow, What's with you two?" Kagome wasn't able to answer since she was crying really hard. I turn to Manor and he was speechless as well. " Quit it!! You're going to make me cry!!" I said as I got up immediately, turning into my beast form and dashing outside heading towards the mirror. It was so hard to recall it back without crying but now that I finally shared that tale with another. .. I feel less depressed about the situation. I never saw Kaen that happy with anyone before but to see it..... torn away from him just like tha
Manor POV " Whiskers! Whiskers! Here kitty, kitty! Food time!" I called out, clicking my tongue. " Shh! Over here, but quietly. " V6 calls to me from the bushes near the eastern tower. I awkwardly bend down a little and follow him. We soon reached the door leading up to the eastern guard tower. I thought we were heading up but V6 sat a distance away from it. " What was so important that you had to see me before the ball started?" I asked as I squatted next to him since I didn't want to dirty my new suit by sitting on the grass. " It's freaking important, ok?! I would have gone through the portal and told you in person this morning but the portal was closed! I had to send a messenger your way." " Oh! Right, I forgot to mention it to you. Galahad moved the portal to that hole Kaen made on the outer wall, just a short walk from here." " Why would he do that?" " Just in case someone uses that guest room, it's important that the Version Slayer doesn't know where our p
Manor POV " He's asking her for a dance!" Kagome shook Galahad's arm as she chimed in a nervous, excited voice. I immediately focused my attention back on Kaen who was leading her to an empty dance floor. " The music isn't going to start any time soon, the musicians came in late and are still setting up." Whiskers happily said with a grin. Knowing that they won't be able to dance. " This kind of service in the palace? I'm shocked they aren't fired yet." I commented as I watched Kaen. Kaen whispers to Jessica before spinning her in a carefree manner and leaving her in the middle of the dance floor. Kaen backs up a lot like he's pacing himself for the dance. Suddenly a strong wind blows out all the candles in the ballroom. The whole crowd cried out in shock. What the in the world?! No window nor door was open! Where did the wind come from?! " My mother said I'm too romantic. " Kaen's voice echoed throughout the ballroom. As soon as he sings the first word, the sound of
Kaen POV I felt the annoying sunlight against my face, I turned around, avoiding it but then I felt something connected to my pillow and it was huge and warm and breathing? I slowly opened my eyes and came face to face with Hikaru sleeping next to me. I then realized that I was using his arm as a pillow. "Hiki, get off you're heavy." What the hell happened last night?..... I tried to recall as I sat up, but my brain wasn't being my friend as a painful hungover makes me groan. I could feel Hikaru stirring awake next to me. " You alright there?" Hikaru asked. I rested my head in my hands trying to overcome the dizzy painful feeling. " ..... No... I feel like my brain is being butchered. " " Makes sense since we finished that whole bottle of spirits." Hikaru says as he passes me a glass of water from the nightstand and I immediately drink it down. " We did? What happened last night?" I ask as I turn to look at him as Hikaru takes the cup from me. I noticed that he did
V4 (Galahad POV) " Is it just me or is Kaen, actually doing well these past couple of days?" Kagome asked as she stirred her tea before taking a sip from it. " It must have been that farewell dance he had a week ago. Maybe it did... you know. .. let him make peace with the whole thing?" Manor the punk gestured with his fork before sticking it into his food and gobbling it up. " Na, I say it's Hikaru he's been distracting Kaen from it. You're backing me up on this, right Terry?" I waved Punk off. " I'm not answering you if you can't remember my name." Terry huffed as he turned his head away from me. " *Scoff* Come on! How come that Punk Manor gets away with calling you, Terry?" I scoffed as I pointed accusingly at Punk. " Because I know he remembers my real name while you don't. " Terry snapped as he glared at me. " There's no way that punk remembers your real name!" I laughed as I poked Punk in the ribs. " Of course I do! It's Terror Terrible Terrorism Territory Te
Terrius POV " So the only Versions that were against you were the Grand Elder Versions. Why are they called that anyway?" I asked. " Because the 4 of them were made to replace Misaki. Mysterious V0 management, that bum V1 creating being, the slut V2 creating the brain and that rascal V3 creating the magical ability." Galahad explained as he listed them one by one. " I heard that V3 is the gateway to Misaki's laboratory. That's why she has a huge lock on her chest." Manor added. " Wait! So no one has been to her lab before?" I exclaimed. " Well, the Grand Elder Versions has." Galahad said as he took a sip from his tea. " If they were created to replace Misaki and are called these Grand Elder Versions then what are the rest of you called?" Kagome asked as she pointed at all versions present at the dining table. " Well Me, the prick V5, that moron V6, and the punk Manor are known as the Elder Versions and we watch over the kingdoms. " Galahad answered. " But don't V1, V
