The Princess With The Jet Black Hair

Chapter 22

[Earth, Fiore's headquarters]

"Who sent you here?" Yukiko asked as she pointed the sharp end of her blade at one of the men's throat, who was barely alive.

He refused to answer.

She repeated her question for the second time but this time she applied more pressure on the sword. It dug slightly into his throat, causing a drop of blood to run down his skin.

Still, no responds.

That was it. Out of anger, she swung her weapon horizontally and slit the man's throat. She then went on to another man and asked the same question. That man also refused to answer, just like his other buddy. Irritated, she raised her sword and was prepared to kill him. But just as she was about to deliver the final blow, Jai stopped her.

"Yukiko, we still need him."

He asked her to step aside while she was left cursing under her breath. He pulled out a syringe and kneeled down next to the dying man so that he could stab him with the apparatus.

Yukiko made her sword disappeared as she stood next to Jai. Anna did the same for her scythe and joined them.

"Truth serum?" Yukiko asked while folding her arms.

"Yeah." He replied before questioning the man, "Who sent you here?"

The man wanted to keep his mouth shut but he could not help but to reply, "...The Phantom."

"Why are you guys here?"

"...The Princess, we need her." The man unconsciously responded.

"So, you guys are planning to capture her?"

"Yes..." That was his final words, before passing out.

Jai stood up as Yukiko marched towards the entrance and ordered, "Contact the others, we are heading to her school."

[Earth, Spring Valley high]

Mary took a couple more swings at Kyle, which he dodged swiftly to as if they were nothing. He disappeared for a split second and reappeared behind Mary, "Is that all you got? Please fight with me seriously, otherwise I'll get bored."

Mary quickly gyrated and swung her dagger once more. Kyle grabbed the her arm and tugged it behind her back. He applied more pressure on her arm, until she let go of the weapon. "You're boring."

He tightened his grip further and her face was contorted in pain. Emily panicked as she looked around for something that she could use. She stared down at her shoes and removed them. She picked one of them up and threw it directly at the guy's head, "Let go of her!"

He stared at her in surprise in the first second, but in the next, one side of his lips curved up to form a grin, "Alright, if that's what you want."

He then let Mary go and approached Emily.

She held the other shoe in her hand, with the intention of using it as a weapon. However, he did not back down, which was obvious. Who the heck would back down because of a damn shoe? As he took a step forward, she took a step backwards.
