Okumura Syndicate

Chapter 10: Fae ends the fight

Vox sat down on Edward's knee. While a skinny man, his boyfriend certainly wasn't light and he was too tired to push him off. Not that he particularly minded. "That over there is a lad who came from another dimension. He was just fighting to display his skills. Or powers, should I say." He lowered his voice into a low murmur and leaned in to whisper into Vox's ear. "I had planned to dispose of him but he's seemingly able to match one of my most loyal caporegime in strength. Nethertheless, I do not trust him- my love. He could be a danger to the clan."

Fleur looked around curiously. "H-Huh? What's going on!! I'm not a baby! What's he saying?!" She huffed, softly frowning and getting up. She felt too flustered and upset about her emotions. Why was she so scared right now?! Fleur clenched her fists getting up stubbornly "You are both children.." she whispered sadly, maturely leaving the room and silently shutting the door, leaning against it her heart was pounding in nervousness. It was decided, she hated to see people fight. It made her feel sick to her stomach knowing full well she couldn't fight like that in a million years.

Vox pouted softly at Edward "Calm down dear!" He winked holding his finger up to it shaking it "Patience my love!" He hushed, winking before the pair ignored him, he sent them both a dark glare "I said....ENOUGH." he yelled at him angrily grabbing the backs of their shirts dragging them by force out the ring "I HAVE SAID IT IS OVER DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME BOYS." he dropped them leaning down to Aster tapping his nose "Whos this Eddie!? Looks a little young, you aren't cheating on me are you..?", he pouted. "Sorry love.." he whispered discreetly "I need to make my own judgement you understand?" he asked softly, his demeanor changing completely.

Edward jumped in shock- sudden noise interrupting the flow of the fight for him. He turned his attention to Vox and suddenly felt much calmer seeing him there. The words he said then sunk in and he groaned- covering Fleur's ears almost instinctively at his presence. "There are children present, dear. Plus you interrupted an interesting battle."

"Fleur--!" Edward suddenly felt guilty for doing the wrong thing. He wanted to chase after her but it was too late as Vox sat down on his knee. While a skinny man, his boyfriend certainly wasn't light and he was too tired to push him off. Not that he particularly minded. "That over there is a lad who came from another dimension. He was just fighting to display his skills. Or powers, should I say." He lowered his voice into a low murmur and leaned in to whisper into Vox's ear. "I had planned to dispose of him but he's seemingly able to match one of my most loyal soldiers in strength. Nethertheless, I do not trust him- my love. He could be a danger to the clan."

Vox listened carefully to his boyfriend. He respected this man with his whole heart, he was everything to him. Sometimes this wasn't clear through his jokes, but he trusted Edward knew. The dark-haired male nodded slowly "I understand..don't worry." He whispered, patting his head affectionately as he leaned close once more. "I say we use him. Recruit him, use his powers, 'accidentally' kill him in battle.. or keep him if he grows useful." Vox explained before jumping up playfully "I shall be learning some spells! It's getting late though everyone..I suggest you get some sleep soon or wind down give Aster a room..sleep on your choice.." He kissed Edwards cheek frowning gently he could see the look of guilt under his tough exterior..but doing anything more would embarrass him.

"That's not a bad idea..." Edward chuckled, putting an arm around Vox's waist. He was a reserved man but he was very confident around Vox. He could truly trust him with anything. He then turned to Rou and begrudgingly toward Aster. "It's over, you two."

"If you insist, I'm beat anyways. I declare this fight a draw, until next time, newcomer." Rou left the arena with a slight wobble in his step. As he was leaving, he thought to himself, "I'll be fine by tomorrow, this is nothing compared to what I faced on the field, but if we'd carried on a moment longer, it could've been way worse for the both of us...".

As the day was drawing to a close, Rou headed off to bed, thinking of the possibilities this recent arrival could bring.
