Shiro

Chapter 7: Sakae's pov
_____

The maid chuckled and whispered in my ear, "Is it that easy to catch a goddess, Sakae?"

"W-who are you?!" I asked struggling to break free of her strong grip.

"I'll explain it later." She cleared her throat, so her voice got softer. "For now, I have to ask you a favor."

"It depends on the favor..." I said.

"You must not run away after I let you go, or else I will kill you and the pregnant lady."

I looked at Okami who looked concerned and puzzled. "Fine."

The maid released me and shut the door. She walked towards Okami, "Sorry, miss, but I must knock you out now."

"Don't touch me! Saka-" Okami was hit in the back of her neck and fainted.

"Now... The name's Shiro, but some call me Shi-shi (Japanese for lion). I'm the King's daughter." She sat on the bed. Her legs didn't reach the floor since she was so short, around 5 feet to be exact.

"What?!" She does look like him; red eyes, pale skin, and long white hair.

She moved her legs back and forth, "I'm pretty sure that you heard the rumor of my father killing me when I was 16 because they feared I was some sort of threat or that I was too weak."

Oh, that's right, Akuma told me about his sister before...

"It was the belief of the eye colors." She pointed to her eye, "This eye used to be grey until I changed my eye color with human contacts. And two different colored eyes always mean something."

"So it could either mean that you have great power, your eye is a gem of some sort, or a sign that your fighting genes changed so you are weak?" I was lost in this conversation.

"Uh... Yeah." She took out a red lollipop from her pocket. Her tongue moved around it in a swift and disturbing motion. "Want one? I created them myself. I call it bloody-pops."

"N-no thanks..."

"Are you sure?" She waved hers around and smiled. "It's human flavor~"

Does she even know I'm a human?!

Shiro lightly chuckled, "Just kidding, I know you're a human nymph goddess thingy, I wouldn't give one to you anyways." She stood up and sighed. "Alright, may we excape before my weak brother comes?"

"Weak?" I was surprised she called him weak. "But he took away my powers and combined it with his!"

She shrugged and bit her lollipop. "He is still weak compared to me." As she turned around she stared at Okami. "She's the new queen?"

I nodded.

"Hmm... my father never changed." She carried Okami in her arms. "I'm not gonna let my step mother die to my brother, we need to take her... uh..." she put a napkin in her mouth and slid her under the bed.

"Wait! How is that supposed to work?!"

"She won't be seen and I doubt she's gonna wake up anytime soon." She cracked her knuckles and grabbed me. "Let's go."

Akuma was in the happiest mood today; he wouldn't stop singing. I couldn't understand him sometimes since he knows so many languages.

He was singing a old war song, from 70 years ago, as we walked to the castle. "If run away, you bring our country great disgrace;
if you die bravely, you win many glories.
Instead of surviving shamefully,
you must fall admirably!"

"Akuma..." I said interrupting him.

He continued, "you will be a samurai,
don't pass away at home!
It is not until your body is hoofed
and remains on the front without burying it
that people say: You are a true samurai!"

There was Angels flying towards the kingdom. "Uh, Akuma-"

"What do we fear at all?
Nothing in the world shall threaten us!"

The Angels flew to the ground. "Akuma!" I yelled.

"What?!" He barked back and shocking the chains with his powers.

It felt as if my arm was slowly chopped off, I let out a groan in response. "Angels... they have arrived..."

He shrugged and continued walking, pulling me along. "Angels can go suck my a**. What they gonna do, kill us?" He laughed. "The gates of hell has opened-" Akuma stopped in front of the castle and sniffed the air.

What are you smelling...?

Bombs blew off in the west, but he didn't even bother to look, he was focused on the smell. "There's someone in there with a weird aura... it smells familiar."

"Who could it be?"

"Mmm, I have no clue." He rubbed his nose and continued to smell. "I believe I haven't smelled this scent in many years. If I did, why is the smell so strong, stronger than any smell I smelled before...?"

"You know, Saka-chan," Shiro said as she kicked down the door for the library. "Legends say that my ancestors took a death book from the angels."

"A book?" I asked as I followed her.

"Yeah, the book of death dates." We reached the end of the library, there appeared a safe.

"I forgot the code..." Shiro scratched her head and stared rotating it. "Was it 5 666 721?"

The door didn't open.

"Screw it." She pulled back her arm and punched a hole through the titanium door (The titanium door was stronger with black magic).

What type of children did Kasai even give birth to?

Shiro opened the door and entered.

There appeared a huge black book, around 5 feet tall and 7 feet thick. I stood there in awe. This is the book that tells you when someone is going to die?

"I believe the angels took their quill back so we can't edit anything." She opened the book to S.

"It goes by first names?" I asked.

"It goes in the order the poseser wants it to." Her fingers trailed down the names. "Shiro... Ya..ma- Yamamoto. I found me."

"What does it say?" I asked.

"Huh, that's odd... All the demon names say invalid, mine says infinite." She carefully sniffed the air. "Sakae, do you know how to conceal your powers?"

"I never learned..." I gave her a puzzled face, "Why do you ask?"

The sounds of chains increased every second. "Whatever, I'll just hide mine." She pushed me behind the book, and away from the entrance.

"What are you doing?" I whispered. The sounds of the chains came to a sudden halt.

There was a small chuckle from outside the room and and a small humming noise. "Ah, so that energy came from you, Shiro-chan."

"He, he, he." Shiro chuckled, "We meet again, big brother."
