Little Battlers eXperience

The minute I got home, I was tackled by Wataru.

"Nee-chan! Are you alright?! Are you hurt?! Do you need anything?!" He kept asking.

I shook my head. "I'm fine Wataru really. Though I could use some sleep."

"No! Don't! You might still-"

"It's fine Wataru. The gas wasn't poisonous. It was just sleeping gas."

He looked up at me and blinked. "I... Seriously?"

"I wouldn't be here if I wasn't, right?"

"I guess..."

I smiled and patted his head. I went to my room to unpack my things and Wataru stood by the door.

"Mom and dad are away again, but I already told them that you're okay." Wataru said.

I nodded. "It's fine." Then I remembered the box.

I pulled it out of my pocket and opened it.

"What's that?" Wataru asked, sitting beside me on my bed. His eyes widen. "Belial Edge?! How did you get this?!"

"Muraku gave it to me..." I trailled. "He said that now he's using Magna Orthus and the Magnas Blade, he won't be using Belial Edge that often... So he gave it to us."

"Out of everyone in the school, he gave it to us?!" Wataru exclaimed, taking the box from my hands.

I chuckled. "You know, if you pay attention then you'll know that he respects you too."

Wataru looked at me and smiled. "So does this mean you're finally dating?"

I froze. "Wha..."

Wataru blinked. "Oh sorry. You probably didn't realize-"

"Wataru, what did you mean by that?" My eyes twitched in confusion and irrritation.

"Niko-senpai told me." Wataru said.

"He told you what?" I asked.

"That Muraku-senpai likes you." Wataru said innocently.

I slapped myself. Hard. Okay, not dreaming...

"Wha..." I shook my head. "Nikolai and his stupid rumors."

"Eh?" Wataru tilted his head slightly. "So you're not together? I always thought you two have a thing for each other."

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Wataru! You're twelve! How do you even understand these things?!"

"Is it wrong?" He asked, his head still tilted.

I slapped my forehead. "Forget it. Get out of my room."

"But-"

"I said, GET OUT."

"Okay!" He ran outside and closed the door.

I look back down on the Belial Edge in my hand. What the actual...

~~~~~

I often see Wataru battling with the Belial Edge now. I'd watch him battle with his friends from school. He looks like he's having a great time.

A few months pass by in a flash and I had just received an email... At 1 am.

I wasn't able to sleep so I decided to check it out.

'We did it! We finally turned the war zone to an LBX school! We'll still be using the Second World. But it's still pretty cool! Come back and visit soon! Or even better, start enrolling again!'
