🐉 XXXVI: Merry Christmas

"Rumor has it Taiju hit poor sweetheart, and she lived to tell."

"By now, she should be in an emotional breakdown, fighting against the anger issues. Is it too much to ask for her to kill him already? Why is taking her so long?" The devil was exasperated for waiting weeks for the girl to accomplish his plan.

"Maybe she tamed the dragon."

Doing mental calculations in silence, Kisaki discarded the idea she might know something. He knew there weren't loose ends. "In that case, we'll unleash the old beast. It's time to move to plan B. No one would expect it."

"Don't dare get back late, sweetie." The woman warned when her daughter left the house with a bunch of cookies to deliver them.

In the last days, to keep her mind busy aside from the next day's events, she baked her annual gesture for her friends and tried to fill the blank spaces in Kisaki's situation. For her unluck, those missing pieces were hard to gather.

The first step was to find out where Kirito lived, but the visit didn't pay with more information than somebody, a tall and evil guy without mercy, robbed his backpack with his school stuff and threatened him. His family thought they were being targeted again and decided to move out before the extortion began.

Second, Peyan, the first airhead of the day, said that with the anger he was dealing on that time, he didn't remember who was the one giving him the idea of attacking Draken, a weirdo with spiral shapes on his hair, besides it was more than four months ago.

The next, but the girl's favorite airhead, was Pah. Due to his good behavior during the last months in the juvie, they were able to bond in the courtyard without having to be in the visitors' room.

"Do you have more of those?" He asked, finishing his designed cookies, and as always, she got an extra pack for him. "I thought just relatives could come."

"I told them I was your lost sister." They laughed comfortably as watching the snowfall more with each minute.

"What fools! So, what happened to you, sis? Is everything okay out there?"

"I slammed into a door. I'm in trouble, actually. I'm a black dragon, and I haven't been able to see the boys."

Crushing the snack in his hands, he turned wide-eyed at her. "What?! Did you betray Toman? Impossible!"

"Somebody set me up, I think. Now, I'm trapped." She let out a long sigh leaning onto his arm, searching for warmth. "Pah, why did you stab Osanai? You would never do that shit. You're a strong fighter, not a killer."

"I was angry, I guess." The boy looked up to the sky in thought, accepting her embrace and keeping on eating the crumbs. "But there was a guy who suggested I should finish his leader and avenge my friend's family and girlfriend."

With a spark of hope, Y/n straightened her back promptly. "Really? Who? Who was it? How does he look? Think!" She was crushing his cheeks with both hands, looking intently and desperately at him.

"Uh-hm. I don't know. I've never seen him before. A nobody." He tried to articulate with difficulty.

She was already expecting he wouldn't remember, but still, she was disappointed.

The next one on her list was the least she would want to meet, but it was the last that may say something.

The curious girl went from the juvie to jail. She didn't know how to act with the anticipated anxiety hitting as she waited for the guards to fetch the convicted guy.
