Bolt Through The Heart (Quanxi X F.OC)

-Addition-

"THAT WAS AWESOME!!!" Was all she heard when the front door opened.

"Damn." Sei awkwardly chuckled. "Move." She said since the 'stay here' direct order turned out to be literal, all basically rooted in their previous spots.

"That was awesome! You are so strong!"

"Halloween!"

"Why did you hide this away?!"

"...."

"Wow calm down, it is nothing too impressive, many devils can do better then m-" She got a light smack on the back of the head.

"Stop comparing yourself too others." Quanxi said as she got a small glare from the devil.

"Whatever." She did half a pout before smiling. "I need to take a shower now after the literal bloodbath." She said, the shoes and pant legs were covered with blood with some spray on her top and face, hand also caked in it.

"She can't see how good she it huh?" Pingtsi asked as she watched Sei walk to her lent room.

"Always comparing herself to others and Makima." Quanxi answered her, arms crossed and leaning against the wall.

"I doubt many devils could do what she did so effortlessly." Long added in awe still, even this high up in the building she saw just how easy it was for her, having better vision then the others because she was the dragon fiend. "Heck, she realized what was going on before any of us... There would be more damage then bent window frames and blown out glass otherwise." She said, nudging the bag that was filled with the cleaned up glass shards now that they felt free to move.

"Halloween!"

"Yeah you are right! We'll just need to convince her." Pingtsi agreed.

"You all seem to get a long great." Quanxi pointed out.

"She is really nice and thoughtful, caring." Pingtsi said with a grin.

"Halloween!" She said, through out the years it became easier to interpret her words and this one was along the lines of 'I love her'.

"Yeah really nice, looking out for everyone tho that's before looking out for herself." Long added with hesitation as she felt like the others had said everything that could be said.

They stopped talking as the door room opened and watched Sei walk out and into the bathroom with a new change of clothes held balanced on her none bloody hand and closed the door behind her.

"Well you all know how I feel about it." Quanxi said after a longer moment of silence. "Interesting in more way then one and I want to get to the bottom of it.... Plus I don't like the idea of someone thinking they can have her."

"Are we adding her to the dream team?"

"Don't call it that Long, it is stupid."

"You are the stupid Pingtsi!"

"Keep the volume down." Quanxi softly reprimanded. "But what do you think about it?"

"Well it is like she is already part of it."

"It would be great!"

And the two that either talked really rarely or could only say 'Halloween' nodded in agreement.

"Alright." Quanxi wanted to be sure they all were for it before she went forwards with anything, she did respect their opinions.

---------------------------------------------------------

Sei dropped the bloody clothes in a heap on top of the least bloody ones, promising herself she'll clean up if it bleeds through the fabric.

She turned on the shower on the maximum setting without checking what side it was, if cold or hot, and stepping in, the bath way too big for one person she found from a glance.

She was glad to be alone now.

As the scorching water cleaned off the old blood on her skin it was replaced with new shining one.

As the water of the shower rained down, each impact of it was like a hammer was hitting in a nails through her skull but she couldn't move, a hand propped up on the wall as the other held her throat as blood poured out of her mouth and nose.

Sei watched the water swirl down the drain and bring part of the blood away, feeling the rest drip and pool down her face, chin, neck and part way down her body before lifting her head to have the water pour on her face and clean it all away.

"How long?" She thought, her whole body aching and wanting to fall apart like a Jenga tower held together only by only thoughts and prayers, not standing for much longer, waiting for that little nudge to knock her down.

She looked at the door of the bathroom though a clearing but still hazy vision, knowing who were on the other side of it.

A frown etched itself on her face like mold, something that was never welcome and is never good news.

"I hope they can forgive my silence." She didn't want to worry people, much less the firsts that seemed to really want her around, Kishibe was her friend but he was old and dealing with Makima, she could see that she was an added burden even if he kept saying no, she was.

But here she didn't feel that, it was weird, she liked it.

She felt like she had always been part of their life and it scared her, how easily she got used too this, it all scared her, wanting to flee but not at the same time.

She coughed a little again, she just spat the blood on the drain and rinsed out her mouth.

"Fuck." She whispered, she wanted to enjoy this for a long time, as long as they don't grow bored of her and kick her out and she gets on with her life, she wants to enjoy this while she still can....
