Cage of Crimson

the reunion

Everyone was in the practice area unaware of Yori's comeback. They were testing their new skills and weapons whereas they were unaware of the truth and celebrating because they thought Yori died.
"Did you hear that the only student to ever graduate from the academy has come to visit us. I heard she is a hottie."
"Watch your mouth or Alain will slice it. Dude you are talking about his older sister......"
"The crescent bloodline. I wonder why they are feared like tsukuyomi clan by others."
"Genetically gifted kids of demons who once ruled the nations..."
suddenly Kaguya stepped in the area
"Hello boiz and girlz. let's start deathmatches as we have gotten a lot of power on all sides." said while she was smiling and she was excited like hell.
". . ."
"I want the first duel of my current strongest student and my son." she said while looking back. Yori was sitting there yawning and his presence was so unknown that no one realised when he got there..
Everyone had a look of fear on their faces as they knew that the guy who survived after a victory in fortress is no longer in reach of human level.
one of them shouted
"This is bullshit! You just want to see blood." he said while in fury
"Maybe I do. What else do you expect of me?" said with cold voice and a stare that sends chills down the spine.
Yori came forth with a lazy expression
"It'll be a drag to take the shit out of an egoistic girl who will die in a year."
"We'll see about that. MR. Prodigy" Yorino said with an egoistic expression
". . ."
"Lets go. Yori, you'll not get food for a week if you lose," Kaguya said while smiling
Yorino stepped forward and took out her cap. She put it on Yori's head.
"If you love me then don't try to resist to my attack. Don't worry You won't die my dear prince."
"Prince you say" Yori expression of laziness changed into excitement. The cap on his head burned into ashes and got blown off by the wind.
"You can't be more serious. There is no way you have a spell like this. anyways You can't move now.
Yori walked out to her in arrogance while smiling and went close to her face
"I'm 3 cm away from your lips. If you have power just kiss me. I'll forfeit and announce you as my fiance then leave all my power to you."
She tried to move but realised she doesn't have control over her body anymore. Her power sources were all blocked. "Is this the full power of Emperor?"
"It not, I haven't even used my new skills yet." The moment Yori removed the seals, He stepped back in shock. A tear dropped out of his eye.
~this presence is so familiar. The person I've been findinf for years. Now that I have my memories back. Maybe I could meet and recognize her.~
""Kaiser, take over and do my leftover work of bullying this bitch."
A person stepped out from the camps...
"You have kept your promise, Yori-chan." Said with the same cold smile of Kaguya."
"I-it's you, It's really you. Cynthia...." said with an expression of happiness
~wtf mayn this is the same name as my little sister..~
"You are wondering why did you call me by your little sister's name. right?" said while laughing lightly.
"You are as beautiful as ever" said with an expression of joy.
"Look who's talking.... I can't believe you turned out to be even cuter than I imagined! I'm so happy" said while grabbing Yori's cheek. He was giving her a cold stare of annoyance..
"I don't think interrupting the duels is a good idea. Let's go somewhere else."
"What about your duel?"
"She is already out of confidence to even hold a sword against me.."
"Fine then...... I'll go ahead. To your favourite place!"
"I can't believe you remembe-" Before he could complete his words she dissapeared in thin air.
~Moon Goddess, as I expected of her.~ following this thought he also disappeared in the air.
"How do you know this place?" Yori asked with a questioning look.
"You didn't knew me. I remembered every last bit of you. I was here everyday everytime you came here even the days you weren't here. I saw you crying, screaming, calling for me. I still hate them for erasing my identity yet yiu remembered everything we did and whom I was to you. "
said with a gentle smile.
" That's so selfish of you. You never ever even showed yourself to me. " It was clear that he was holding his tears.
Cynthia went close to him and hugged him tightly." I am here now. I'll fill up all the emptiness in you with my love.
.
.
Hehe
I'm being a pedophile right now. " she was calm yet her voice had a soft touch of the emotions he was able to express completely.
"I was so lonely. Just promise me you'll never leave me again." said with tears in his eyes.
"Ask me to be your girlfriend then....."
"Huh"
"You heard me right. You love me right? I heard you screaming I love you a million times here..."
"Can't you stay without it?"
"I will but. I'll feel lonely being a one sided lover of you. You'll be able to go on dates with me. You could get kisses.
Your wierd fantasies will also not overwhelm you because I'll already destroy your innocence. We could live together alone if we get engaged.
What do you think?. Is it bad? And as for my parents, you killed them as they tried to raid the fortress with the desire of attaining power.. "
" Bad idea. It's so sudden. I decline. "
" Liar"
"I'm not."
"Then I guess I'll have to find another boy who is interested in me... Maybe Yuzaki is fit for it."
"Fine, I was lying."
"Good boy," said while patting his head.
"Let's just be normal and go to the room."
"That's all we would do now. I'm so sleepy."
"How much time has it been since slept at night.?"
"I don't remember! Anyways let's head to the market and grab a bite."
"I'll handle everything but please just go somewhere quiet. I want to talk to you a lot."
"Then we should buy stuff and eat it in your room."
They reached the market. Everyone was shocked to see Cynthia there because she never came back after she graduated from academy.!
The owner of the flower shop asked
"Do you know her young boy."
"What would you do if I say she's the wife of tsukuyomi clan's head."
"Do you mean your older cousin?"
"I will take over the entire throne of the clan. I can't take being weak anymore."
"I'm rooting for you.!" said Cynthia while messing with his hairs.
"Stop messing with my hairs."
"Ahhh! good thing you said that. We are going to get you a new haircut and a new hairstyle. This hairstyle of mine has a counterpart hairstyle too. You are gonna get your hairs like that!"
"I can't say no to her majesty."
"Good boy!"
"Do you believe that I will ever confess to you!"
"No chance in hell."
He got a new haircut went to the market to grab few bites and on their way back they stopped by the vending machine.
"Wait, I need to buy a bottle of water?"
"are you thirsty?"
". . ."
"You have fever." he said while touching her forehead.
". I'm okay leave it."
"You are hotter than the sun right now and yiu are saying you are okay!"
"My my thank for the compl--." before she completed her words she collapsed on the road but Yori held her.
He took her to her room and left her in bed and sat in the corner of the bed while she was asleep. He had tears in his eyes. A crybaby as always. After 6 hours she woke up her fever was down a bit.
"Am I dead?"
"Do yiu think you can die so easily?"
"What do mean and did you stay up the whole time I was sound asleep?"
"Sure did!"
"Bakaaaaaaaaa! Why you your eyes are all red too I bet you were crying all the time."she screamed at him but when she finished she started coughing.
" You are not even recovered completely don't boss around so much. On top of it yiu were way too cute when you screamed baka. "
" Don't say it out loud like that. What If anyone heard us. "
She said that while blushing. She could vered her fave from the blanket and turned towards the wall.
" Sorry for that. "
" You took care of me when I was sick cried for me when I was gone. If the moon were to fall what'll you do? " Cynthia asked while in the blanket and her eyes were closed.
"Well I'll protect you even then. I'll just take you to any other safe place where only we are present."
"What about the other people? You'll leave them to die and let the moon be destroyed. I was talking about the tsukuyomi clan too when I asked that."
"Either the world or the clan, both made me go through hell. You were there for me even when I forgot about you. You took me out of darkness of this world when I was on the verge of getting devoured by it. My loved ones will also do the same and leave the place. I don't care about the moon because I see the moon as beautiful as you. I fell in love with yiu not the Moon."
~crap I said it out loud. ~
" Cynthia?! Yiu awake. "
". . . "
" Thank god you slept! I would've died out of embarrassment if you heard that. " he finished and left her room not knowing what he did!
" You fucking Idiot. Why didn't you say it when I was walking beside you! I heard the whole thing. "
~I love you.... More than anything else in my entire life even my own life. I couldn't find the right moment to tell you this all this time and always ended up giving you stupid hints. ~
Her face was all red and she was smiling not stop. Her heart was pounding like crazy. This was beginning of the journey of life for them. They had a lot of hindrances trials and challenges waiting for them in their way. On the other hand Yori was experiencing something that he never did in his life.
"What's the matter. Kitty?" asked Yuna while she was sitting with the other three
"I accidently confessed my feelings to Cynthia while she was sleeping. I don't even have enough confidence left to talk to her."
"Damn I bet you'll have a girlfriend in few months." said Yui
"He will be dumped the second day." said Yuzaki
"He will lose his V card." said Cynthia while laughing.
"I support Cynthia." said Yuna while smiling.

"Y'all are sadists who love to enjoy the pain. I'm going to bed." he went to his room and sat beside Kaguya.
"How'd it go?" Kaguya asked him.
"She slept before I confessed."
"If things remain this way I am sad to say that you'll die as a Virgin single boy."
"I just entered the age of puberty. How do you expect me to do these things so fast?"
"Don't tell anyone but Shoya was 13 when he experienced his first times in everything. I even made him drink wine."
"W-wtf. I know that you know this makes you a Pedophile."
She moved a bit forward and whispered in his ears "Don't use protection or you'll miss the fun part."
"How can you say this with such a straight face?"
"I'm your mother." she said while patting his head.

"You should sleep now. Tomorrow morning are the official duels and you'll get the anonymous tier as your revaluation result."
"Tomorrow is the end of me being simple and single! I'll tell her everything tomorrow after the ceremony."

"Good luck, emperor of cuteness." Kaguya said this while she was smiling and Yori smiled back at her
"Don't call me cute ! What if someone hear yiu!"
"You already have the name kitty."
"That's also true but still."
"Go to sleep now.! otherwise Cynthia might dump you."
He went to sleep and after some time Kaguya slept too. It was a tiring day. Yori was awake thinking Cynthia is sleeping even though she was still in shock because of what happened! Tomorrow will be an important day for both of them and the entire Tsukuyomi clan.


The next day all the students who raided the castles of all five academies were present. They all knew what Yori did yesterday too. Kaguya appeared from the usual place where she does every time.
" Deul start. 1st round Yori and Cynthia vs Yorino and Kaizo. Those who lose shall lose their rankings." she said while yawning but everyone went silent as If a dragon just appeared out of nowhere and if anyone moves it will go on a rampage.

" I will kill him this time," said Yorino
" Give me this honor my sister," said Kaizo

"Important announcement: Cynthia has a fever n cold and Yori got caught by it too. He says he shall take you both on at once.'' Kaguya said
" That's suicide! Kaizo here already has a crush on Cynthia and he once tried to kill her when she rejected him."
Yori appeared out of nowhere.
" I'm ready! come at me with everything your bitch duo got. "

"you'll regret coming here. prodigy" said Kaizo
"So you are that motherfucker who touched my woman." You'll never see a woman in your entire life after this. As he finished his words a dark smoke surrounded his hands. The sky was covered by thunderstorm clouds. The ones who thought they were near Yori's level were traumatized by that scene.
~this is no ordinary gifted power. that monster is controlling the forces of nature. not only the thunder. he is controlling the fire, water, ground, air, light and nature. No wonder he is the son of the leaders of Tsukuyomi and Uzumaki clan. ~

There clearly was the presence of a devil "Drake bring me his eyes after I cut his head and Kaiser ravage him. He took out his sword and went towards him. He was terrified by his first encounter with the power of Tsukuyomis. Crying and hopelessly and begging for mercy on him. Suddenly Cynthia stepped in between.
" What will you get by killing a human? Leave him. He is already so pathetically disgusting. "
"But he tri-" She put her fingers on his lips
" I don't wanna hear another word. Just take your new anonymous tier gear. Now we are entering the class where slayers become hunters. "
" We? you are entering with me!"
Yup. I was selected eternities ago. it's just I was waiting for you. It won't be fun without my crime partner."
"Ok! Lemme finish off his sister first."
" Don't worry boi. I killed her already! Don't ask me why. No woman will let the girl who tried to steal his man live."
" Well you still don't know if I feel like same way."
" I was awake last night -_-! You made me feel so embarrassed that I wasn't even able to move in your presence. "
"Let's go then. " he didn't show it but he got a heart attack out of embarrassment due to it.
~why you bastard. Why did you even say it in the first place.~
~ You know when we are touching each other we can read out thoughts~
~no way, just by holding hands~
~someone please kill me. I can't take this much happiness~
~happiness?! what do you exactly mean?~
~let's reach my house first. I live near the city. we will stay there from now on. its dangerous for hunters to be out like this when they are sick.~



It was quite a shock for the kitty and and after 10 minutes of a walk while haolding hands and communication through their thoughts they reached her house.
"we're here! "
" you should go n sleep now. you have fever."
"Don't you have it too?"
"I can manage. Yk"
"No fucking way. You are gonna take rest with me."
"Wait tell me where should I? I will go n sleep there."
"For the kind information, there is only one bedroom in my house which is mine. You are gonna rest in my bed."
"Wait no- how? it is bad! "
" No way it's bad. You are mine. I'm okay with you resting there."
they kept arguing until he agreed to go there!

"This is my room. "
"It is full of your beautful presence. yet I'm focusing on you."
"B-bakaaaaaaa! don't say such things it's embarrassing. "
"I also feel this when you do it. "
she threw him on the bed. " Now rest! You are weaker when it comes to immunity. "
" You got me there. "
she sat beside him and lifted his head on her lap.! lowered her head near his face. " Now then, tell me. How much do you love me? "
" even Infinity can't measure that. No words can ever express exactly how much I love you. "
" I love you double to that extent then. I will prove it one day. "
" Did you just make me confess it again? "
" yweah.! so you wanna do it? ''
" I am not denji so I don't have a reason to deny but it's way too early for me to lose my V card. ''
she laughed and her breath touched his face as she got a bit closer to him and said " I was talking about kiss "
"I'm more than happy to do so. "
she looked at him with an annoyed look " You lost the chance. I ain't doin' it anymore. Now die from fever "
" . . . "
" Hey, from now don't ever hesitate to come close to me or touch me. You are completely mine from now on."
"I never said we should start dating. "
"Fine then I'll have to find someone else! "
"Please go out with me. I will always make you happy. "
"Are you that possessive and scared of losing me? "
"I can go as far as doing mass genocide for you. I know I won't end up like Eren because you are the same as me. "
"aishteru nee! "
"aishteru |^_^| "
"awwwwww! You were being so cute just now. "
"B-bakaa! don't say it out loud. "
"Cuteiyyyyyyyyyyyy "
"Stop it " he tried to stop her.
" cute cute cute " she was laughing while trying to move away from him and reached the wall.
" Don't call me that! "
"Make me stop if you can. "
"Stop now or I'll take your first kiss."
"Okayyi! I don't wanna lose that precious time at a moment like this. "
He came and sat beside her on the bed and put his head on her shoulder.
"Spending time with you like this was everything I desired. "
"You can desire for things more than this. I will fulfill them. "
"It'll be selfish of me to do so. "
"It's alright to be selfish. I'm the most selfish human on Earth if loving someone is being selfish. "
He moved closer to her face with an unknown emotion flowing in him. It was unknown to both of them but she knew what he was going do to and closed her eyes. he put his hand on her handand moved forward his hot breath fell upon her lips thennnn.....
