The Devil's Kingdom

Ends With Us

Few days later

The sound of the steels of our swords colliding with each other echoed inside the room. We stood blocking each other's attack. Both of us knows we're holding back mostly, against each other.

But Giyu is going to learn nothing if we kept just blocking each other's attack like these.

I look at Jungkook and give him a nod, giving him a sign that I'm going to initiate an attack on him now and taking a step back, I attacked at him with a sideway slash. Jungkook turns his sword upside down in no time and defends my slash attack.

Both of us hear a very tired and impatient heavy sigh from behind and loosen ourselves from the combat position.

" I know you both are holding yourselves back but don't make it look so obvious! " Giyu complains sulking, " Baekhyun is better than both you! "

Jungkook and my head snaps to Giyu who's sitting on the floor infront of us, as our audience. It was his idea for me to combat with Jungkook, so that he could learn from us but guess that just failed badly.

He gets up from the floor saying " At the end, it was a really bad idea to make two of you fight each other. " He starts walking around the room to reach for the door, regretting his decision.

I rush from the middle space to him and stopped him. He turns around to look at me. I give him a smile and held him before I started dragging him back to his seat saying, " Giyyuuu! it's not good at all escaping from practice, you know. "

" Practice??? " he struggles to free himself from my grasp, " This isn't what you should call practice!! You two are fighting even worsely than kids! "

" Is that it??! " I ask him while fake smiling at him, " Then- " I look back at Jungkook before I asked him, " Let's fight like we're in real battle. "

" As the Water Princess wishes! " he says with a smirk on his face.

" How you're this strong.. " Giyu says almost out from breath while trying to escape from my hold. I realized he's not gonna stop, so I look down at him, " Giyu, how about we three go around the town stroll after this practice?? "

Giyu's eyes immediately shines up. He stops squirming, his head snaps up to me, " Really?! "

I nod.

He then just quietly walks back to where he was sitting before and sits back down and says, " Then, let's finish this soon! "

Bribing successful.

Now finally, Giyu could step out from this hidden place and walk around the palace at his will. It's taking him some time to adjust himself with so many people around but he's doing well. And more than anything, Giyu is a lovable child with whom anyone could easily take a liking to.

I adore him. He has gone through so much since his birth but still he doesn't let's that affect his kind heart. And never stopped walking forward.

I smile at him ruffling his hair before I walk back to the center space where Jungkook was standing, patiently waiting for me. I lift my sword up from the ground and then we start in a flash.

This time we didn't hold back, atleast we're trying hard not to.

The swords kept colliding with each other, blocking the other's attack.
