When Supernaturals Meet

Chapter 5: From the Start Please

The portal eventually ended, abruptly.

Yuki, being not used to the landing, fell forward landing on her knees first before supporting herself with her arms.

Cyril gracefully landed soundlessly behind her. Turning back, Yuki saw him dressed in a full butler uniform, his snow white fringe hanging just nicely over his eyes, tailcoat fluttering behind him as if it was a pair of wings.

Adjusting his collar and tie, he looked down on Yuki who was panting.

"I'd say my dear mistress, you ought to get used to this mode of transport! Learning to land gracefully is one, but stamina!"

Yuki frowned, she struggled to her feet, staggering little by little, she eventually got up, sweat pouring from her head.

Biting her lip, she looked at Cyril with a strained look.

"Take me back," she hobbled over to him and grabbed him by his collar with every little ounce of strength left. "Now,".

Cyril looked unperturbed by her action, instead sighed and gently held her hand. Yet again, with another tug, he pulled her hand backwards, pulling her closer to him.

Yuki was caught off balance, but Cyril swiftly placed an arm around her waist and pulled her in.

"Now, now my mistress, I just did that collar. Be a good girl would you? Didn't you tell me just now that you wasn't a person to regret?"

Yuki rendered speechless for a moment, her stoned face slowly fused into a hot mess.

Blood pumped non-stop to her cheeks, ears soon turning a tinge of red as well.

A wry smirk stretched across the Butler's face.

Wriggling away from his grip, Yuki calmed herself down.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Memories flooded back to her as this technique was taught to her by Haru, her missing brother.

"I'm scared, I'm scared Haru...it's so dark..." Yuki meekly mumbled to her 10 year old brother.

"Don't worry Yuki, it's just a power outage, Mommy and Daddy is handling it now, "

Haru patted her head tenderly and pulled her into his warm embrace.

"I'm here with you anyways!"

He smiled down to the little girl in his arms. Reassured, Yuki lit up and nodded gratefully.

"Yeah!"

The distant memory faded as the reality of the problem hit her again.

She had a missing brother to take care of and a horrid survival game to worry about.

"Lady Yuki, one more thing. Teleportation places a lot of strain on your body, so at times you might feel dizzy or lethargic after it," Cyril reminded, pointing up his slender index finger to make his point.

Yuki gave him a brief nod and stretched her back. Stifling a yawn, she looked around her surroundings.

Red stained clobber stones lined up down in front of her like a pathway to lead her.

Darkness surrounded them with seemed to go on forever. Light barely filled the place, apart from the glowing red torches. Red light illuminated the black path in front of them.

Pushing back her hesitations, Yuki started forward.

But before she could take another step, Cyril caught her arm from the back.

She gave him a puzzled look as she turned back to face him.

"Before we go, I would like to teach you how to activate your Cursed Weapon," Cyril explained, nothing but a stern look on his face.

He let go of Yuki's wrist as she stood there dumbfounded.

A small grin formed on his pale face as he brought his hand up to his temples.

"My,my," Cyril paused to take out a pair of silver thin-rimmed glasses," what a bother this would be,"
