Suisei pov: Toko and I sat in the same position for about a minute, and from the corner of my eye, I could see Mikochi was freaking out and had to be held back.
"Sui-chan, I lov-" She suddenly stopped what she was saying, "gwrauuu!" She screamed as she began to be shocked by her collar. I immediately reacted and noticed a small device attached to it and slashed it, also knocking the collar off in the process. Her little locket popped open, revealing a picture of us together, but I ignored that.
"Are you okay?" I asked as I reached my hand out for her.
"Yes, I am Sui-chan..." She panted as she grabbed my hand and her collar, letting me pull her up. She put on her collar and tightened it.
"So the picture, when did we take it?" I asked
"Ah, so you saw it!" She panted. "We took it when we were kids," she said.
"So tell me what that device on your collar was for." I asked
"It's to make sure I kill my opponent and always fight," she explained.
"Who did that to you?" I questioned
"Some man with a creature called phantom," Toko-chan explained
"Grrrr...." I growled for some reason and was pissed off as all hell due to this, even though I don't really remember her much.
"Sui-chan, you're going to have a visitor!" Azkichi yelled
I looked to the side slightly and noticed that Mikochi lunged at us, so I stepped back and watched as she slammed into the ground face first.
"Oooh..." I winced in pain seeing the blood trail left behind.
"Is she okay?" Toko-chan asked
"Yeah, go help her up," I stated.
"Yes Sui-chan!" She eagerly stated I noticed she perked up like a dog as if I activated some sort of instinct inside her. She walked over to Mikochi and picked her up with one hand.
"Don't touch me." Mikochi hissed as she swatted her away. Toko's eyes went feral once again, and she snarled, kicking her in the stomach and sending her flying into the wall. She almost broke through to the other side.
"Toko-chan bad!" I said she looked at me and immediately stiffened up. "Hmm?"
"I'm sorry, please do whatever you want to me!" She shouted
"Jeez, what the hell did you do to this woman?" Roboco asked
"She's like a puppy!" Sora-chan said as she jumped down and gently patted her head.
"I'm not going to do anything to you, I just want to know more about our past; my mind is still fuzzy, so please help me remember," I told her.
"Sure, but we'll have to escape," she said.
"This should be easy; these are all demons, so I have nothing against killing anyone who gets in our way," I said.
"So we both agree that it doesn't matter how we get out?" Toko-chan asked
"Yeah, we do," I told her.
"Thank you, I promise we'll talk more later," she said.
I went over and grabbed Mikochi by the shirt and lifted her up. She was unconscious, which was better for me because I didn't want to have to hear her cry about whatever she was mad about.
All of us quickly broke out of the coliseum fairly easily; they all seemed scared about trying to fight Toko, which was nice since we didn't have to kill anyone.
"So Toko-chan, why did you look so happy when I ordered you around?" I questioned
"Because you own me," Toko-chan said.
"Please stop," I said.
"I'm honestly interested in what she means when she says I own her," Azkichi said.
"Hmmm... I do remember you saving a Cerberus girl a long time ago from slave trading," Anemachi said.
"Yeah, I'm forever indebted to you!" Toko-chan said cheerfully
"You should have brought that up sooner..." I sighed
"Well, I didn't get a good look at Toko until now," Anemachi said.
"Who is that?" Toko-chan whispered in my ear.
"She's my Onee-chan; she's obsessed with me," I said.
"I'm not obsessed with you!" Anemachi shouted
"You are pretty obsessed with her." Sora-chan said
"You legit refused to sit anywhere but next to Sui-chan at the wedding," A-chan stated.
"Shut it, glasses!" Anemachi yelled
"Wow, that's so scathing." A-chan said as she rolled her eyes.
"Your sister has a nice smell that reminds me of you; I love it," Toko-chan whispered into my ear.
Again, I felt my body begin to shiver at the sound of her voice and her breath hitting my ear: "Ehhhhh!" I said loudly.
"Did I say something wrong?" Toko-chan asked
"N-no, you are fine," I commented.
"I'm just so happy to be with you again." Toko stated
"So I'm sorry for asking you this, but how were you captured?" I asked
"Ah, it's okay. I'll answer anything, as long as it's you. So I was on the hunt to kill some stray demons and fell into a trap set by Temma while trying to catch rare animals; I took eighteen tranquilizers to the back, neck, and head."
"I am 100% killing him; Mumei said he is locked up in the council room, correct?" I asked
"Probably why?" Azkichi asked as she snapped out of some sort of trance.
"I just said; I'm going to skin that bastard alive." I growled
"Do you remember me again?" Toko-chan asked
"No, but for some reason I'm pissed..." I commented
"Oh well, we'll keep trying," Toko-chan said.
"By the way, I noticed your personality changing. Why is that?" I asked
"Oh, because I am extra happy with you and some people have a bad aura about them like that redhead you're holding," Toko-chan stated.
"She is nice, but she is clearly moody; I don't understand why she is so mad." I sighed
"So dense..." Nodoka commented
"What!?" I shouted, "I'm not dense!"
I suddenly had a thought. Toko-chan was about to say something earlier, but then she was electrocuted and stopped talking, so one question rang in my head: what was she going to say?
