Seraph of the End - Demons Lulluby

Four Horsemen of John

Waylon POV

The slow walk through the city was demanding. My feet never hurt so much from walking before. Though I suppose it's because of the terrain being different than usual.

Back at home and the city, the ground was always perfectly paved, but here I had to trudge over hills and even large cracks in the streets that went into the sewers.

Not that I'm complaining, this is good training. As much strength as I can hold is better than nothing, that's what Tsuhiko told me at least. More the better, every moment I get I should get stronger.

Tatsuka was behind everyone, sluggish moving and heaving breathes, how'd he get into the military if he's so slow? I frown and look at the others. It seemed that Kirishima was ahead of everyone, a blank look on his face.

Tsuhiko was right behind him, and then it was me and Miramoto. She had a kind smile on and made me feel relaxed. She noticed me looking and her smile grew bigger.

"Do you need something, Kojima-kun?" She asked, tilting her head at me.

I squirm and look straight ahead. "N-Nothing, you just don't look the soldier type..." I said.

Miramoto's smile grew a bit and she giggled. "Oh don't worry. I'm more than capable." She said, reassuring me.

"Uh... sure." I mumble, watching her walk ahead of me and start talking to Tsuhiko. I frown as I try to piece together what's she's about, but Tatsuka behind me taps my shoulder.

I turn my head to find him looking pained. "Can you carry me?" He said in a groan.

"Carry yourself." I said quickly.

"Worth a try... talking to Shiina?" He said, looking ahead of us.

I flinched a bit. "You call each other by first names?" I asked him, this made him blush a bit and he scratched his cheek.

"I met her in elementary school, so we've been stuck with each other for awhile, but..." he trailed off, looking ahead at her with a sad face, which made me confused.

Did something happen to make him not want to talk to Miramoto? He hasn't really been close or even a yard close to her yet, keeping his distance.

"What's up?" I asked.

Tatsuka snapped out of his trance and laughed nervously, scratching his head. "N-nothing, it's nothing! C'mon, were lagging behind." He said energetically, sky rocketing ahead of me and past everyone else.

Tsuhiko sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "Hey, Tatsuka! Be careful!" She called over to him.

Tatsuka grinned and waved his hands around. "Huh? I can't hear you~!" He chimed.

As he's wiggling around comically, I see something shift inside a building, which catches my eyes. It seemed Kirishima saw it too, and Miramoto was already pulling her knifes out, but for some reason she was still smiling kindly.

Tsuhiko didn't pull her weapon though. "This is perfect, take it out." She commanded as a giant black and red monster came charging out of the building.

"A horeman of John!" I said to myself, pulling out my guns and getting ready to shoot, but I couldn't, it seemed Kirishima was in the way, already unsheathing his katana and running up to it at a speed which was incredibly fast.

He jumped upwards at it, slashing one of its four limbs off, it screeched it pain but tried to sway at Kirishima. He easily landed and jumped over the attack, landing next to Tatsuka.

"Get your weapon out, moron." He mumbled a command to Tatsuka as he scrambled to do so.

It was open now! I aim at him and fire my weapons, piercing red bullets went through its leg, making it topple over. I got it! That was the first time I used Lilith, and it barely had any kick at all!

Tatsuka pulled his hand Scythe out and slashed it across its bell, making its guts come out, which made its screech a little more gagged. Miramoto then ran in, giggling a bit as she did so.

She jumped on its neck and stabbed both knife into it, and ran them through its neck like carving a pumpkin. She then dismembered its head, spraying blood into the air and making the corpse fall to the ground.

Miramoto looked up at the blood and smiled over at us.

"Nice work everyone~!" She said in a sweet voice, though she was covered in blood.

Tatsuka whispered beside me. "I don't go near her much because she's a bit messed up in the head." He said.

Even Kirishima seemed distant of her as she walked up to us with a smile and thanked us for the assist and told us how good we did. Was she like a sadistic sister figure or something!?!?!

Note to self: Don't piss off Miramoto.

Claire POV

I stopped in front of the building and looked around. This should be the area. I guess they aren't here yet, I should wait for them to come. I sit down and cross my legs, sighing deeply.

Allan came and sat on the ground cross legged. "Oh? Tired are we?" He said with a grin.

"I thought I told you not to talk to me, worm." I said with a dark voice. This made him laugh a bit.

"Ah! So cold! No wonder people call you an ice witch." He said with a smirk, getting up and walking around me, sniffing me like the freak he is.

If he wasn't a noble, I'd crush him and feed his limbs to dogs. The thought made me less mad and I ignored him while he got bored by my reaction and looked to our right.

"Ah! Those three are here!" He said, a smile on his face.

A ways away, a convoy of vampires were walking into town, in the middle were three high class looking nobles. They all came to us and me and Allan bowed deeply.

"Very nice to make your acquaintance, you three." I said, using the best mannered speech I had. These people were friends of the queens, I should do well to impress.

One of them smiled. "No thank you, lovely. It's great to have a lady of your caliber as protection." He said.

I frown, but hide it so they don't see, turning as if I'm going to show them their lounging. The hotel had been well groomed for vampire use, and humans were captured for food inside.

We enter and the three nobles go to feasting, so does Allan, who is loving his time binge eating.

"Oops, I killed one." Allan mumbled, dropping the little girl.

I looked down at the little girl in shock. I grit my teeth and try to hold back, and I do manage... until he says something that makes me tick off.

"Cattle sure are fragile." He said just as my hand slapped across his face. He looked over at me in surprise, then smirked. "Oh. Sorry. Have I hurt your pride?"

I frown at him and turn away from the room, screw this. "No. I just don't like that word. Besides... if there's anything in this room that resembles cattle, it would be you." I said with a dark voice.

I walk out of the room in anger. Humans should not be treated as such. I will get closer to the queen, and I will make sure that someday, humans are given freedom.

Even if that means if I have to play dirty.

(More insight on the characters! Today we find out Miramoto is a sadistic girl who loves to kill things. And that Claire is actually repeatable towards humans, why? You'll find out in the future. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoyed and have a wonderful day!) - MnMs171
