Chapter 27

Shiro looks at Raiden with an expression the younger can't really depict. But it wouldn't be a surprise if the male is not only confused but also stunned to see the other here. Not for a second did he think any force could bring Raiden to seek him out... yet here the male is, completely soaked from head to toe, out of breath from probably running most of the distance.

And more than anything, he looks angry.

"To make it clear, I'm not here to talk with you," Raiden spits with enough hatred in his voice to make an unsettling feeling pool in Shiro's stomach. The elder lets out a sigh, knowing it was too good to be true to believe Raiden was here to make up.

"But I need to speak with your supreme," Raiden adds through his teeth. Even though he hates that woman with passion, just as much as he hates Shiro, he must accept that she is one of the oldest supremes around. No one is near Seki's age, but if there's anyone who knows something, it's Chikara.

And when speaking of the devil, she shall show. Chikara, Shiro's supreme, suddenly appears beside her endear, looking at Raiden with just as confused eyes.

"Who's this?"

The woman is tall and blessed with a stunning face, long black hair put into braids and mixed skin that has a few tattoos here and there. It's not a secret that she's stunning, but Raiden can't help but be angry at the sight of her. He knows it's Shiro he should be angry at, but it's not like this woman wasn't aware of his and Shiro's relationship when she roped the endear into a pact.

"What do you know about Seki Masahiro's past?" Raiden gets straight to the point. He doesn't exactly feel like small talking with these people.

Chikara and Shiro share a glance before the supreme's gaze returns to Raiden. It seems she has remembered who this random endear showing up at her door is, meaning she also remembers who Raiden used to be to Shiro. She holds the authority of a supreme in the top 10, so Raiden isn't surprised when he feels all his defense mechanisms tensing up at the strong eyes catching him within their gaze.

Weirdly enough, Raiden has never felt that from Seki, but this woman is intimidating beyond belief. He doesn't even remember what her powers are, only that she is one of the strongest supremes in the country.

"Come in," the woman says before throwing her head to the side and turning around. She requests for Shiro to go get a towel so Raiden can dry his hair, otherwise he will probably be sick within a few days. What he forgets is that he's an endear, and would be fresh again before he would even notice, as long as he's near Seki.

But can he really see Seki right now?

Raiden has a stone cold look on his face as he's guided through the enormous house. Even though it's similar in size to Seki's, it's more modern and strong in it's curves where Seki's is older and more traditional. But it's not a secret that this supreme has a ton of money too.

He's guided to a large room, probably a dining room of sorts, and is encouraged to sit down. Shiro sits down in front of him as Chikara walks to the kitchen to get some refreshments for their guest. It seems she's friendly enough for that, even though Raiden by no means was expecting to get treated with kindness. It's not like Chikara hasn't already sent looks between him and Shiro in the short while he has been here.

As she leaves the two males alone, an awkward silence immediately falls between them. Raiden is softly running the towel through his hair to try and get it dried up, and thankfully, that manages to keep his face somewhat hidden from the other's sight.

"What changed your mind?" it suddenly sounds from the other side of the table. Raiden can only guess that Shiro is referring to the time at school where he supposedly tried to warn Raiden that Seki is dangerous.
