Two hours go by and my three siblings finally arrive,
Penny has been ansy,
Leon's been dreading having to play the nice guy role,
Anton staraight up doesn't give a shit and Brandon put on his usual white suit and black tie,
unbuttoned and a black T shirt underneath, I open the door and go out to greet them from the taxi.
"Wow this place is a dump, you sure you're not homeless?"
Chase asks me.
"Oh what you see is a illusion as soon as Brandon takes down the illusion rune you'll see a buisness."
On que Brandon removes the illusion rune on the mail box and they could see the buisness.
"Never mind, so what kind of business is this and what sorcery did you do?"
Chase says surpised.
I look at Brandon and ask him if it was okay if I told them but he doesn't seem up there mentally,
matter of fact,
he looks like he shit a bunch of bricks, Brandon puts me in a headlock and turns us around to whisper to me.
"You didn't tell us your siblings were demons as strong as the Council!"
Brandon looks over his shoulder to see my three siblings waving confused at us.
"To be fair I can't sense power levels like you and I thought they were humans the whole time, anyway can I tell them about the business."
Brandon really seems on edge and panicing but he pulls it together,
he lets me go and straightened his tie. "Come on in everyone and meet the crew." We all go in, Penny was pacing,
Anton and Leon on the couch, Brandon holding the door.
"This is Penny, Leon, Anton and I am Brandon."
My siblings look around,
Penny is the first person to run up to them and greet them,
she told me how I was a joy to be around and a nice little edition to the family. "Yo pops, who are the noobs?"
He says that so easily,
like roll off the tounge easy, Brandon proceeds to scold Leon right there in front of everyone.
"You fool! These three are on the same power as the Demon Council!"
Welp Brandon your own parnoia caused you to play yourself, now we got no choice but to tell them.
"Demon Council?" Terra asks, I did my best to clue them in on everything, I kinda abridged the whole thing in simpler terms. "That explains why everyone has such ominous energy, yeah I think we might be demons too we just don't eat humans." Chase says. I'm amazed they took the news so well.
"Oh there's no doubt you three are demons, when you live as long as I have, you tend to pick up who are demons versus who aren't demons. Anywhoo, so this is my business, I'm the face of it here and the Demon Council is basically the CEO of it, sense you'll be staying here until further notice I'll lend you the guest rooms upstairs."
I show my siblings the 1st floor and they line up their luggage and travel bags by the wall.
"This place is so weird."
Chase says. "But in a good kind of way." Terra says in a curious tone,
I show them my room which honestly isn't impressive except for the walk in closet, they were surpised about that but didn't really react other then saying dang.
Brandon got them a key to their own guest rooms and we spent the day socializing with everyone and each other,
Penny hit it off with all three breaking the ice, Brandon kept us hydrated and gave us real food instead of the forbidden meat, Leon was Leon and called them noobs to which Sora instigates a brawl and puts him in his place,
Chase talked with Anton about anime and Leon also joined that conversation after he learned his lesson,
and Terra talked with Brandon about the business.
After a day of fun the next day Brandon opend up with a meeting today I was pulling a double with Leon and Anton,
Leon would be with me from twelve onward and I'd be with Anton for the night, Penny stayed to play hostes and Brandon also asked them if they wish to learn new things and hone their power to which they hesitantly agreed,
unfortunately they wouldn't be payed sense they didn't agree to join and they were only temporarily staying.
I pulled up a seat by table and prepared a coffee cup.
"Penny, could you get coffee as black as my soul?" Anton asks.
"So cream with lots and lots of sugar!" Anton looks at her like you know that's not what I wanted. "I know what you're thinking, you didn't ask for that, trust me I can read between the lines, I'm giving you what you need and I do it out of love."
Anton looks so annoyed and sense the living room is T shaped and not very big, Chase, Sora and Terra heard it all and busts out laughing.
Me and Penny made coffee together and I talked with my siblings about places they've been before finishing my cup and going to bed.
The evening was rather dull, nothing new, the sun started to set,
me and Leon got some food,
patrolled until my designated time to meet up with Anton.
We made our way to Greenville and that was when we got some excitement, a small squad of Exorcist spotted us and pinned us down on a less busy street that cars hardly travel. "End of the line!"
One says as I pull out two guns, twirl them on my fingers and aim the barrels sideways. "That's our line bozo."
Just when I thought we were going to fight this small burgundy fire barely visible traveld to the Exorcist from nowhere then suddenly got larger and as if it was a black hole it sucked them up and exploded.
It was now raining blood all over me and Leon. "Hey there Vittorio."
A woman says as she shows herself walking along the side walk,
she wore a pink sleeveless crop top that exposed her slightly above average bust size and her stomach,
she also wore white pants with black high heels that resembled more of sandals, had long pinkish red hair wrapped up with a white accessory that women use to put their hair in a pony tail,
her bangs on the side of her face, she also had red eyes,
and finally she had a odachi on her shoulder.
For those that are not sword enthusiasts a odachi is a Japanese version of a claymore, and if your still drawing a blank,
google search the word or look up Final Fantasy 7 Sephiroth sword,
anyway the sword is five feet tall and this woman is easily six foot and a few inches with those high heels and I'm short clocking in at five foot seven inches.
"Vittorio? Seth is there something you want to tell me?"
Leon braces himself as the blood rain stops, if Leon is unsure about something then you know it's a threat.
I make my shadow short sword and take stance,
If we take her together,
we might can win.
"Ummmm sorry miss, wrong guy?" I say more as a question.
"Ah! You don't remember muah?! I am offended!"
She says jokingly.
"Just kidding. Seriously though it's a shame you don't remember your old best friend, oh well nothing like the present to get reacquainted.
My name is Yuzuhara,
and as for what I am hmmmmmm I think I'll keep that a secret for now,
girl can't go revealing all her secrets now can I?"
She winks at me then takes her odachi off her shoulders and begins unsheathing it or rather she makes the blade phase through the sheath and her hand.
"Hey dude." Leon says.
"Yeah bro?"
Leon takes off his black coat and throws it on the ground,
oh shit this is the first time he's getting serious!
"A once wise man once said, never stick your dick in crazy. CONGRATULATIONS! YOU STUCK YOUR DICK IN CRAZY!" Yuzuhara takes a step back gasping, actually offended by Leon's words. "Hey now, don't go putting me in the same boat as the crazy humans, I'll have you know I am a very friendly woman!"
To be fair I'm not picking up murderous intent from her but I get the feeling she won't let me specifically leave without a fight.
"I'm sure you are miss Yuzuhara but we kinda got a job to do so do you mind letting us go?"
I ask as nicely as I can.
"Sure as long as you show me a good time first." She takes a step forward, I sigh as she really wants us to fight with real weapons. "Let's get this over with Leon." Leon takes stance and I could feel his aura flare up. "About damn time, let's do this."
_____________________________________________(Author's Notes)
Sup everyone, so just a little side note Yuzuhara's design is largly based off Yuzuriha from Under Night In Birth, however despite the similarities this is my own original character, well I say original loosely. At this point no one really comes up with something original, no matter where you look, be it fictional or none fiction someone has already come up or invented the idea. We use modern day works as a basis at best and make differences to call it "original", I talked to a friend of mine at work yesterday and told him a idea that I wanted to do and he's like "so you copied two different things?" And me I'm like is this really copying if your using two different designs as a basis to make something new? It's not like it's plagiarism. Anyway I just wanted to justify my character Yuzuhara, there will be differences but for now just humor me for using similar design. Anyway peace!
