Bolt Through The Heart (Quanxi X F.OC)

-''They made their bed, now they'll lie in it.''-

(Funfact number 1, I seemingly forgot Quanxi had a pony tail until I remembered just now at half past midnight and funfact number two, it takes so long doing these little edits the pics to look a bit more like Sei but each time I always tell myself 'it will be only a minute don't sweat it' and then I start sweating it.)

"This is the third new phone in like..... Three months?" She complained to Pingtsi without really meaning it, she only used it to call one maybe two people, those being Kishibe and Quanxi.

"You are the phone destroyer devil." Pingtsi said.

 It was a calm day, the sun was shining bright, Cosmo was watching TV, Sei laying on the bed too with her head hanging off it so she saw the screen upside down. Pingtsi was sitting at the little table in front of the bed, filling out some sort of logic game in the newspaper, Long had been locked in the library room because she had tried to bite Tsugihagi while both were sleeping and Long was still asleep even after that while the almost eaten fiend was taking care of her camera.

"Halloween Halloween?"

"I don't have games if that's what you ask, outside of the default ones on it." Sei held the phone too Cosmo, despite it seeming like a long shot, she was somewhat getting to a basic knowledge of what Cosmo could be asking of her depending on the situation, she still had mess ups but she was getting it and the fiend was getting better at writing, sadly that made the others interested too so Sei basically graduated from a devil hunter too writing teacher, lucky here, the others knew way more and Pingtsi didn't need help, already knowing how to write.

Sei still had a bit of a hard time understanding, expecting any of the fiends to suddenly throw hundreds of questions at her but no, Quanxi had pushed her to explain what was up with her and all the blood puking, the fiends had just listened before trapping her under a cuddle pile and never brought it up again after she said she didn't want to talk about it.

Sure, some aspects were annoying, treated like she was fragile sometimes but other then that, it was fine, no one reacting like how she thought they would.

She played with the charm on her necklace with a sigh, bored of the show on TV but Cosmo likes cartoons so there will be cartoons no matter what others wanted.

She held up her finger gun towards the TV before Pingtsi smacked it with the newspaper.

"Don't you even think about it." She watched the devil who just chuckled, a hand tucked under her neck, looking over as the door opened.

This time Sei didn't pulled the short end, this time the hunter got the chore of buying the groceries.

"Do not eat everything right away." She dropped the bags on the dinning table and almost threw the bag with all the things that needed to be cold in the fridge at full force.

"Do you hate food?" Sei asked amused by this.

"What you think Sei?" 

"I'd say yeah."

"Eaten anything today?" She asked, not reacting too Sei's words.

"Eh, haven't felt hungry and not because anything happened." She caught the apple thrown at her. "You know, throwing an apple at someone is a marriage proposal in ancient Greece." She took a bite out of it.

"Yeah?"

"Mhm, catching it meant accepting it." Sei threw the apple in the air, scooting her head on the bed so it wasn't hanging and caught the fruit again before spinning it on the tip of her finger like a basketball.

Quanxi sat on the bed between Cosmo and her, almost causing her to drop the apple as the hunters weight dipped the bed and moved her arm.

"Well I'm sorry but I haven't bought engagement rings."

"How rude." She flicked the apple up and caught it to take another bite. "And you make me dream here." 

"I'll make it up too you." Quanxi said, Cosmo leaning her head against her thigh, uncaring for the discussion going on next to her.

"Us too." Pingtsi added.

"Of course you girls too, no discrimination, I love all of you."

"Good, we don't want jealousy." Sei added before hearing two finger snaps, turning herself a bit before hearing a camera click. "Gee, have you at least caught my good side?" She asked with a grin as the stitch fiend smiled as much as she could, limited because of the stitching.

"She is good with it, I bet it will look good when the film will be sent in to be processed." Quanxi said. "None of you can look ugly."

"Now that's not true."

"It is."

"You can't say Long is not ugly after trying to cook." Quanxi didn't answer. "Ah ha!"

"She is still pretty."

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

But when the night set this happy atmosphere turned cold tho not for obvious reasons.

Gentle wind blew through the town's streets, a calm night that would soon not be it.

"Ready?" Quanxi asked, watching Sei throw and catch the core of an apple.

"With you? Always." She grinned, both staring up at the HQ of the Chinese hunters, they deduced they should 'nicely' ask if it was them that did this experiment of a human, turned devil, to kill Sei, if it was not them they'd know it could only be Japan.

"Time to teach them a lesson." Quanxi said, the spark of anger ignited that day still bright and lively in her heart.

"They made their bed." Sei threw the core at the nearest bin, smacking against the lids inside with a thud and falling on the rest of the trash. "Now they'll lie in it." She said as the caw of a crow was heard with wing flaps.
