The Eighth Sin Of Chaos and Mystery

Chapter 8: A Touching Reunion!

Tsubaki's POV

Flashback...

"Oh come on, Tsu... You have to learn how to control that power of yours." I groaned loudly, throwing my head back. "Do we really need to do this now though? Tosh, really?" I groaned, looking over to him. "Yes, besides... If you can learn how to perfectly use those amazing powers of yours, it can come in handy someday." Toshiro smiled at me, "I don't want to use this power.... It's scary." I sighed, looking down at my hands. "I know it might be scary but if you don't learn how to get those powers under control, you could hurt yourself or unintentionally hurt someone else." Toshiro took my hands in his, as I looked away from him. "Tsu-bean... You know I'll always be here for you." I looked back at Toshiro, who was standing in front of me. "No matter what happens... I'll help you find your way if you get lost." He gave me his signature smile that I had grew to love so much, "Thank you, Toshi." At this time we had just lost our whole village, we were now living in a smaller village than before in a small house. It was big enough for both of us to live in, we sometimes went into the village to buy goods, clothing or pastries. Everything else came from the forest around us, we lived just a little outside of the town.

But just before I could say anything, the scene changed and everything seemed familiar. I was laid down on a bed, in a small house which looked like it was only built for one person. I moved around only to feel that both my arms and legs had been tied to the bed, which made me nervous.

"Finally, you're awake. You know it was hard to get you in here without you fighting me." A sudden voice sounds, I look around until my eyes land on a man. He looked like he was around Dreyfus's age, he had short brown hair and hazel eyes but I could never forget the look in his eyes. His eyes were literally full of lust, it made me shudder in disgust. "Who are you? Where am I? What do you want from me?" I questioned him but he only responded with the shake of the head, "Why do you think I have you here?" My mind finally settled on the idea that he could possibly want me for my body, which made me very nervous. "No, you can't possibly--" I started tugging at the ropes but it was no use, the man came closer. He crawled on top of me, putting most of his weight on me which didn't allow me to move. I struggled as much as I could, but could barely move making me cry out. "Stay still, this will only hurt a little." I let out a terrified scream as he came closer.

Dream over....

I sat up quickly, letting out a terrified scream, and grabbed onto my chest. "Tsu... Tsu, what's the matter?" Meliodas burst into the room, seeing my panicked state made him worry. "Are you alright?" Meliodas sat down beside me, as I managed to calm my breathing. "Yeah, yeah... I'm fine. Just another nightmare is all." He handed me a cup of water, which I gulped down quickly and gave it back to him. "Are you okay to come downstairs?" He asked, placing a hand on my shoulder. "Yeah, yeah..." I crawled out of bed slowly, stretching as I put my feet on the floor. I then followed Meliodas out of the room.

"By the way, Captain... Where are we headed next?" I looked at his short figure, not sure where we were headed next. All I knew was that I didn't want to run into another Holy Knight, especially if it was Gilthunder. I just couldn't believe how much he changed, but I can't judge him. I changed a lot as well over the years, after losing my family and the boy that meant more to me than my own life.

I took a seat down at the bar, next to Elizabeth while Ban was in the kitchen. It smelled absolutely delicious in the room, I was always a sucker for Ban's cooking. "Is Ban cooking?" I asked, "Yeah, he doesn't want to eat Sir Meliodas's cooking." Elizabeth explained, making me smile and roll my eyes. "Yay!" I cheered, making Meliodas chuckle a bit. He ruffled my hair, making me smack his hand. "So you said that our next place is the Capital of the Dead? What's there?" I asked, as Ban placed a plate in front of me. "That's where we will go looking for King." Meliodas explained, "Didn't that fat bastard die or something?" Ban asked, "That's the only lead we have, so... may as well check it out." He shrugged, as I took bite out of my food.
