Who Are We, Really?

"Proof that Raven is dead?" 

After both Oni's looked Alaska up and down they asked for this simple question and thankfully they had a way to prove she was gone for good. 

"Alaska get the sword out." 

The hilt of Raven's sword appeared out of a gate and she brought the entire blade out. 

"Good job then, Ayame. It seems your city take-over plan in the North will be going just as you planned. Now, the vampire by your side. Why have you chosen her to be your partner? We have a lot of fine men and women here that you can choose from, Ayame." 

The wording set Alaska off and something wasn't right here. 

"I knew people said you had a thing for vampires but I didn't think it was true." Her mother put a hand to her face as she blatantly said that out loud. No one could tell if it was on purpose or not but it had gotten the point across. 

A small elbow into Alaska's side and Ayame's pleading glance made Alaska play along with this whole thing going on. 

"I haven't developed any sort of bias towards vampires. I just think that Alaska is the one for me. Not because she's a vampire, not because she's a Black Cat, because of her personality." She earnestly put a hand on her chest even though she was straight lying to her family. 

"You, vampire." The dad called out to Alaska and her eyes jumped to him, "She told us your story but I want to hear it from your own mouth." 

Alaska gave a mental sigh at having to explain the night she got turned into a vampire but did so anyway. 

their faces were skeptical after hearing the full story as it was still a very strange story. It does just sound like something someone would make up for attention.

"...You also mentioned a fox there? Where is he now? All familiars can come down to the underworld so maybe I'll be a little bit more willing if you had a bit more proof that you really were formerly just a Black Cat." 

Ayame had taken a step back as this was Alaska's time to prove herself. It really is annoying trying to prove yourself while you know you're innocent. 

"I'm not even gonna lie, this is my first time being here." She snapped and with a zap of electricity the fox appeared and was the biggest thing in the room now, "Beta, shrink, shrink!!?" She didn't expect them to pop into the room in his big form. 

The Fox shook his head. Because the underworld brought out true forms, he can't change his size. 

Though her stupidness in forgetting that also had its proof that she's not really from around here. 

"What about Tsuryo?" 

"Who?" Alaska let that out in an almost disrepectful tone but that was mostly from the surprise of Beta not being able to shrink. 

"Wow, you really did just become a vampire and not care..." Ayame mumbled to herself hoping this wasn't going down. 

"Who's Tsuryo?" She stated after clearing her throat and paying attention this time around. 

"That's the name of the vampire queen!" Ayame helped her out from the side and Alaska turned her head towards her. 

"Really? That's a strange name? I expected something a little less weird." 

Ayame's father laughing startled both of them but once their eyes landed on him, he was completely stone-faced. 

"You've just insulted one of the four rulers of the underworld, you know that?"
