K: The 6th King [1]

Chapter 9 IV: Kid's Room

•Saruhiko Fushimi, J-Rank, JUNGLE's and CARNIVAL's leading clansmen•

"How am I going to explain to Nagare now?" I said looking at my hands which glowed a purple aura.

"Don't say anything because he won't care. You're still a part of the alliance anyway. He's a King that expects foul play." She said. "But for now, don't use your purple aura. You do have red, blue and green, don't you? Despite being my clansman, you are still a J-Ranker and that would never change."

I nodded in understanding because I can still feel the green aura passing through me. Wait . . . foul play? Does she think I'm using her as an advantage?

"I'm not saying that you're using foul play or anything." She said with a sigh. "It's Nagare who thinks that, even though, I'm the one who took you away from him."

I nodded in understanding. Of course, the Blue Clan and Misaki have already seen me as a betrayer. Why not Nagare too. But it wasn't their fault that I betrayed the Blue Clan. I only betrayed the Red Clan. Mikoto took Misaki, Reisi and Nagare is only acknowledging me because I went through the ranks.

"I trust my life to you now," she said, looking hopefully into my eyes. "My clan and my own brother had betrayed me. I've let you combine your world with mine. Something that I've never done before so there's only two of us. I have betrayed someone dearly to me without me knowing so I will begin anew and start with you. I hate the feeling of betrayal as much as you do."

"I will take your word in that," I said.

"Can I call you Saru-chan from now on?" She asked me suddenly.

Okay, that's new. I guess I could let her. I nodded my head to her and she made a smile that seems to put a lot of force. I guess she's trying to take control a bit of her body.

"Eon! Eon!" The sound of a bird squawking, alerted us. "Ready! Ready!"

Eon nodded her head towards the bird, Kotosaka as it perched on her shoulder. The gates were opening and I knew, it was the work of Nagare.

We walked through the gates with Nagare having his eyes on us. Nobody seems to be aware by our entrance. Have they really been slow at security after I left? I thought Reisi would have transferred some people.

The place that we kept all of the strains are beneath the building so we headed downstairs but before we could, Seri have arrived with the others and the surprise they got when they saw me was annoying that I won't mind fighting them.

"Eon, the half-sixth King, the Purple King," the voice that i know all to well sounded and made me clicked my tongue. "Why have you come?"

He walked towards us but still stood from a distance. I saw a new face among the crowd and know him as Goki Zenjo. I think he also had names like ogre or something.

"I think I did say it once during the meeting," Eon said. "I wanted something in return for the information I gave."

He held his sword on guard and so did Goki. Wait . . . is he suppose to be my replacement? Is this what the Blue Clan had resort to after I was gone? You have gotta be kidding me.

"State your demand." He said in a stern voice.

"I want my clansmen that you've kept locked up," she said, bluntly.
