Bolt Through The Heart (Quanxi X F.OC)

-''Die.''-

"You are aware of what you are asking from me?"

"And will you turn the proposition down? We both know how many people are dying as it is."

"Yeah, but it has left a bitter taste in my mouth."

"So you'll let other people die because of that?"

"No... I won't, but it will be temporary until everything is back how it was before all this mess."

"Good enough for me."

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

Sei still lit a smoke as she left the building, it's not like that could kill her.

It felt so odd to be normal again, a foreign feeling to her... Plus those gun devil pieces.

She more then once accidentally slammed a door open because she is not used to this strength, it would take carving them out of her body to get rid of the bullets anyway so she better get used to it fast because she is not about to do that.

(oh yeah and I just thought about it but if the chainsaw devil eats a devil they are forgotten and gone... Makima came back as Nayuta so not gone but it is basically Denji saying "I ate her ass up"... So like is it because he is a hybrid that it doesn't work the same anymore? Is it because he is not the chainsaw devil's pure form anymore?)

But she didn't have a lot of time to think about that.

She had something left to do before today can finally be over with.

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

"And you believe for any reason I would do as you say?"

The silence after the speech the minister of Japan made was palpable, but the silence following that statement was suffocating for everyone that wasn't the one that said it.

The head of the government got together and organized this meeting, expecting a known outcome and yet they didn't get it. They knew this devil... Or at least they convinced themselves that they did.

Gaping like fish out of the water, at a loss as too how the obvious answer had been a refusal.

"If you ever thought I'd agree to this you must be blinder then she was."

Familiar yet inverted eyes looked at them, a familiar yet new smile looking at them.

"Makima was Makima." Sei said, a hand lifted before lifting her other hand and moving them as if she was balancing something invisible. "I am me." Lowering that hand as if there was more weight on that side. 

"W-what?" Was all the old chubby man could say, she rolled her eyes, how blind they are now?

"I agreed to meet with you purely to know what you wanted to say to me. What you were up too. Not to make a contract with you. This thing, this offer, that just shows how much you thought of me, of us. Putting all your eggs in the same basket instead of using the two of us from the beginning has its negative points you know?"

"But the contra--" "The contract was made with Makima, sure, Seifuku the devil of domination is her half but you never took the time to even look at me. Doing all your dirty work through her and SHE made me do it for her. I do not wish to sacrifice people for me to live, I don't care if such a contract would keep me alive indefinitely, I am not driven mad by how you taught us to view the world since you didn't care to force me to listen... And you still think I'd agree to it today." She did offer this contract to China but it was her own initiative. "All because I am not who you want to believe I am... I'm Sei not Makima, I'm nothing like her. Be happy I agreed to help you with your bureau and stop asking for more."

Sei heard a blubbering mess and sighed. 

They had thought correctly, she had thought correctly, on several fronts. 

Makima was gone and her body instantly felt like it didn't want to die even tho the gun devil pieces were still ravaging it from the inside, Makima's words could no longer work away since she was no more.
And she was still alive even if Denji ate her sister. Since she is part of the conquest she knew the control devil would resurrect, the only way it wouldn't would have been if she died too.

She has no idea how Kishibe got so much blood on hand that day tho, probably robbing a blood bank? She didn't feel like asking... But she had survived that day even if still quite hurt, she is still getting back on her feet as her body is not used to being 'Not dying'.

Kishibe had already convinced her to help the bureau before she was summoned in front of the people that convinced Makima of this murderous mindset of 'the smallest evil'. They had expected her to be just like her, showing how little they knew of her. She almost pitied them.

But she didn't.

She pitied Makima.

She might be gone and that last fight might have been led by hate from both fronts... But she was still her sister and she can't stay hating her sister. She even missed her... She pitied her because of all the pain these people caused her, caused them both.

So there would be no pity she'd give them, as without them, they might have gotten along, Makima might have not hated her that much.

And that.

Deserves not pity.

"Do tell me, do you have backups?" Sei asked, eyes boring into the only woman on the board. A simple ask cloaked with an oppressive order.

"Yes." Came the demanded answer.

"Then all of you." 

She held her hands up shoulder height, with a huge grin. 

"Die."
