The Twin Dragons

The Return

Now we return to the Guild Hall for a few moments for Illumi to change his clothes as he wished to clean up and change into a much more comfortable attire so he could rejoin his friends for a feast at the closest buffet. The main door swung open and all of the Guild members redirected their attention as they were all in shock to see such a familiar face returned to the home all except one who dropped down in front of Illumi and looked up to him ,Fon, standing at 3 foot 4 and had the appearance of a child age 5 smiled and simply nodded as he could sense the potent magical energy that Illumi was restraining within himself which was now on a level even past his own when he was within his prime. "Welcome home Illumi....Would you like to tell us all where you've Been?" Illumi smiled showing off his canine like row of teeth and he said "I had to kill a certain someone from my past.....There's nothing to much to worry about they won't be around much anymore and if you can find anything left of them be my guest to guess who they were. " Illumi stepped past Fon who had an evil smile across his face as well and he nodded before returning to his game of poker. "Killed someone?" Midnight said to herself as did the other who said it out loud however. Even Ace didn't know who his sibling would've killed at this date as they had no enemies nor anyone who would harm them deeply enough for them to resort to murder.
Each of the young slayers sat down and waited for Illumi to return to them after he changed and cleaned up. Illumi showered cleaned slipped back on the seashell necklace that Sayuri had given him. He put on a bright pink shirt and blacks compression pants which went under his white jeans. Illumi left his  room and walked down the steps and toward the door motioning for everyone to follow him.
"Come on guys you guys must not be hungry~" Sayuri smiled and hopped up and followed her older brother dragging Ace who didn't need much encouraging and Geo would never pass up a free meal but Midnight was hesitant as she couldn't comprehend the words which left lIllumi's lips. She stood then followed behind her friends her mind far beyond wandering but her eyes and body were able to naturally track their movements as she tried to pictured Illumi within her head being a killer but it was something she could accept.

"Hey Midnight catch up your suppose to be up front at all times remember you are the oldest now come lead us!" Illumi called back toward her as she was dragging behind and everyone waited for her to take lead. She had awoken from her daydreaming and walked toward the front and to her side walked Illumi who innocently bumped into her then walked straight and he spoke quietly so that only she could hear him.

"I didn't really kill anyone you know this right....I simply killed my old weak self so I could become stronger to protect the ones I love." "Of course I knew you didn't kill
anyone I don't know why your telling me this like I care jesus....." "It's because I know how you work Middy no matter how hard you try to hide it, You care about me more than Geo knows and I don't mind that. but you think I'm this little innocent kid who you can trust because I'm harmless but I want you to know I'm not.....I'm far from it you should trust me definitely because your my friend but harmless, sweet, inoocent? All those things should never describe me. Never forget that." Midnight's eyes had filled with tears yet she wasn't upset nor frustrated just a bit overwhelmed with emotions of happiness as she punched Illumi directly in his jaw which made him stumble and chuckle loudly as he stumbled himself back to balance and began to massage the heated area "Just like the first time we met....Could've sworn you hit harder than that though."
"You're lucky I like Illumi or I'd kill you you for that smart mouth of yours. I hate when you point out the obvious now will you tell us where you went when you left?"
The male simply shook his head no to her request as that was a story for another day. The group had arrived at the restaurant and entered through the front door and Illumi and Ace were immediately greeted by a waitress who saw the two normally and she uttered "Hey you two would you like the normal table or.....Oh my I think we'll need to see you all to a booth and tell the chef his "favorite" customers are here with friends."

The five of them were escorted to a table where they all sat down Midnight and Geo on one side and Sayuri and Ace across from them, Illumi asked for Midnight to come outside with him for a second as he wanted to tell her something very important. She agreed but Geo refused to move out of the way as he saw a scheme in Illumi's eyes but none of the others saw a problem with it and Illumi spoke up. "Hey Geo I don't know if you like it or not but Midnight isn't your property and you can't treat her like she is so if she wishes to join me for a quick word then so be it don't be a white knight for no reason now.....please move." Geo growled and looked at the male and moved for Midnight to walk outside where Illumi had wished to speak with her and said "Try anything and I'll knock your teeth down your throat...." Illumi simply smiled and walked away and went to catch Midnight. Leaned against the concrete wall outside Illumi opened his mouth and told his story and even pulled up his shirt just to  show Midnight the markings he had gotten before he left and explained why they appeared. "So when I left I just had to see who I truly was and what these meant so I went to see my mom...and she explained them to me and said that only I would get them as Ace's body wasn't pure enough to feed off the Earth itself so I continue to grow stronger each and every time solar energy is taken into my body sun or moon....But to keep me from dying from the excess energy I had to unlock my second Origin so now I can even surpass Master."

Midnight giggled and punched the male directly in his chest and Illumi exhaled suddenly and began laughing as Midnight headed back inside with a smile across her face and a light blush across her face as she had realized how fast Illumi was maturing which caught her interest slightly but as she slid back into the booth Geo seemed a bit more angry than when she had walked away. "So what did the Holy LightBulb have to say to you huh?" Illumi butted in and sat beside Geo and Midnight and said "That if you ever call him that again he'll knock your lights out without question isn't that right?"

The other four chuckled and laughed at the comment all except Geo as he was the only one who didn't know Illumi was only kidding about harming a friend of his and as the waitress had already taken orders for drinks and meals the buffet was now available to everyone seated.

Sorry the story part was so long everyone I kinda got carried away in the plot behind this one and just kept writing more and more but this is the end of this situation now we can pick up on that friendly fight between Geo and Illumi. We all know who's gonna win the fight obviously yet who's to say Illumi will even fight Geo......Next Time~
