"Coming through!" a booming voice screamed outside of Oriana's room.
She didn't have time to try and get up before the doors burst open and a flying motorcycle invaded the room.
"Oriana!" Asta called.
Filled to the brim with emotions, her shoulders dropped and tears fell with the view of Asta and Magna riding the flying motorcycle. The light from the corridor illuminated the blissful in her expression. Her family, her actual family came for her. Doesn't matter what road she takes, her family would always bring her home.
"Hold on tight, we are getting out of here!" Magna stretched out his hand.
A genuine smile appeared on Oriana's face as she accepted Magna's hand and got up to her feet with difficulty due to her tight skirt.
"I'm sick of this." Oriana groaned.
She grabbed the end of the skirt and with one swing motion, she ripped the fabric up to her hip on both sides. Holding tight to Asta after taking the seat behind him, she spoke,
"Let's go home!"
"Hell yeah!" the boys screamed in unison.
Riding the motorcycle through the corridors filled Oriana with adrenaline. They would laugh in the face of stunned servants and the little yelps of surprise. Magna kept on going faster. In a matter of a couple of minutes, they were hovering over the debris in the entrance hall. The bull form of the Black Bulls base peeked inside the Kira Estate from where the door used to be. Oriana laughed delighted with the scenario in front of her. She would not miss this senseless place or the ill-mannered people inhabiting it.
"Welcome home, kid." Captain Yami greeted.
Oriana would not worry about her sister. She knew Finesse wouldn't rebel against their father, in fact, she wasn't sure if her sister believed her. Oriana was the only one who felt the bone chilling cold in these corridors. Finesse would be just fine and, hopefully, Oriana wouldn't have to come back. Ever again.

It was a costume in the Black Bulls to turn anything into a celebration. As soon as the squad reunited, Vanessa didn't even wait to be back to the Common Realm and immediately opened a bottle of wine to share with everyone and more were to come. However, Oriana couldn't help but notice Zora's absence. He was missing that night.
She wasn't expecting a knight in shining armor to come and save her, she knew that wasn't Zora's style and she liked that about him. But, fuck, giving her five minutes to explain. Was that too much to ask? Oriana had extended her arm to him, pleading, and he turned around and rejected her. How stubborn was he that he couldn't understand that the Kira family was never something she wanted?
Maybe he would understand, only if she actually had told him before. Now she couldn't forget the look in his eyes, dismissing her.
When the Black Bulls base settled back in the forest in the Common Realm, almost immediately there was a knock in the door. Oriana was done with surprises for the rest of her life and groaned at the door. It wasn't Mereoleona's roaring knock, thankfully, but it was desperate and persistent. Gordon mumbled something after opening the door to a figure that rushed in. Disoriented, a boy with a Coral Peacocks robe came in inspecting every face present.
"Suga?" called Oriana.
"There you are!"
Sugawara pushed through the other squad members and enveloped Oriana in a tight hug.
"I heard what happened! What is this story about you being a Calmreich?" Suga asked, stepping back from Oriana.
"A long story..."
