When the masked figure jumps through I feel my body lurch forward without my input as my blades start to turn a F/C as my eyes cover in my blood. I can't see anything but I can feel everything around me, the wooden table, Kurome's snacks tilting slightly to the left and it all moved in slow motion. I feel the masked figure's fist smash into my face but I only skid back a bit as my face mends itself
"That hurt, you're turn!" I tear my lungs apart as I dart all around the room, jumping and running along the walls.
"Impressive" I hear the masked figure whisper under it's breath
I finally make it to the ceiling where I use the granite to launch myself down into the figure, attempting to smash it. I feel my arms break and shatter when I connect but I don't care, these people accepted me and I must protect them. I hit the figure but she blocks with her forearms. In return I allow my teeth to extend and I bite her arm, hard. I only made it a bit into the skin before ice covers her arm, effectively breaking my teeth off.
"I'm impressed you could survive this long, it would be an insult if I didn't go all out wouldn't it?" I feel the air below me rush forward as she lands
"Yes, please come at me with all you have" I feel blades slash out from their bloody prisons along my back and forearms as well as spikes forming randomly
Without another word we go at it once again, she dashes forward to hit my abdomen but I move to the left. I roundhouse kick her side, earning a grunt from her and a crater in the wall behind her. I stand there, teeth bared and breathing heavy like an animal that just found it's next meal. She runs forward into me, shoving her shoulder into my chest and braking my armor which reformed immediately afterwords. I wait a few seconds, back pressed into the wall. After the air stills I press my foot on the wall before dashing forward. We dash at each-other at full power and when we meet it's a battle of attrition, we exchange blows before she uppercuts me into the ceiling which gave me a launch pad. I push as hard as I can, absolutely destroying my legs in the process but I ignore it. As I make my way down I hear a large boom and see a cone form around me, I hit her dead center and hear what sounded like shattering glass. When I hit her I feel something form below me but then the ice breaks and I feel a person below me.
"A-are...we....done" My breathing is heavy and my teeth are now larger, just in case
"Yes, and you did quite well" A feminine voice resonates from below
"Good, now why are you here?" I remove her mask "Ahh, lady Esdeath, glad to see you" I saw before collapsing to her chest as my knees give way
"Please get off" She pushes me to the side as my armor melts into my skin as do the blades
"So, why did we just fight?" I look up at her slender figure, panting between words
"I wanted to see if the team could take me, apparently all you needed was this boy though" She finishes by shooting a glance at my team
"No no, they're fine, I took you myself to ensure their safety, AND I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO IF NECESSARY" Timothy lends me his voice for added effect and I stand up, blood covering my body slowly
"No need, they will be tested later when you are not present" She smirks at me
"Sorry lady but I will protect these people no matter the threat, I apologize for the inconvenience" I bow
"Fine then, let's see how well that hold up when you're unconscious" She hits me repeatedly in the head
"To reiterate, I will protect them when they cannot do so themselves" I stare her dead in the face with eyes still covered in pulsating silvery liquid
"Point taken, but you won't always be there, they need to train" She pats my head "But I'm sure they appreciate the gesture"
"Oh, I thought you'd kill them, I don't care if they're close to death as long as they aren't dead"
"Very good, now I can tell you're tired you need to ge-and there he goes" My vision blacks and that was the last thing I heard before I gave in to exhaustion.
Esdeath POV
This boy was nearly on my level, his one issue is that his stamina is lacking. He puts everything into a fight, that's good because it almost guarantees victory but bad because he can't last more than an hour. I sling him over my shoulder and walk to my quarters, as he doesn't have housing yet an obviously needs rest. When we arrive I lay him on his back and cover him with the comforter to make sure he woke up well rested. I had some paperwork to do so I left him as is, he looked comfortable enough. After about 20 minutes I hear him stir, I look through the doorway to see him sweating profusely despite the constant 50 degree temperature. He has been tossing and turning for about an hour now and it's impairing my focus, so I do what Bols told me would calm any soul, cuddling. I walk away from my paper-covered desk and walk over to him, taking off my heels for comfort. I crawl along the side of him before finding a perfect orientation to comfort him. After a couple of minutes he stops string and actually smiles a bit, but this wasn't like the smile he had given me before. The smile that was now plastered on his face was on that only an innocent child could experience, true bliss. He turns to me and returns my embrace, I find myself actually enjoying such a trivial thing, I didn't understand why but I also didn't want the feeling to go away. So I stayed, I stayed for about 15 minutes before falling asleep myself. And as by eyes slowly waver to a close I feel something I haven't in a while, affection.
