6 Years ago, Formation of the Weird Fangs

Kanda had stayed with the kingdom while her friends were in hiding, she was still an apprentice holy knight and chosen not to become an official holy knight, 'feeling' she wasn't ready after what had happened. After she had finished training with some of the new generation holy knights, Kanda and Jericho were called up to the grandmaster's office.

"You two were specifically chosen to continue your apprenticeship under the order of the Weird Fangs, tomorrow morning you will be leaving to baste dungeon," Dreyfus tells Kanda and Jericho, they both nod silently and head back to their rooms to pack. On the way there Jericho tries to exchange in a conversation.

"I wonder why we were chosen to be sent to Baste?" Jericho asks as Kanda looks over and shrugs her shoulders, she's become well-known among the apprentice holy knights and the official holy knights, along with the fact that she knew the legendary seven deadly sins.

"Hey um... I have a question for you" Jericho asks hoping she won't get brushed off. Kanda just nods her head and mumbles a quick 'Shoot', that Jericho barely caught.

"Why haven't you become an official Holy Knight yet?"

"When the kingdom fell I was helpless in stopping the seven deadly sins. There was nothing I could do no matter how hard I tried. I guess since then I just haven't felt ready."

"What exactly did happen that day?"

"It was devastating, at least a hundred holy knights were killed, if not more. All mercilessly butchered in the blink of an eye, by just seven people, I was lucky to survive" Kanda says, her voiced laced with sadness. Jericho looks down trying to understand what that would have been like, she looks at Kanda, but Kanda keeps her face straight showing no emotion.

They walk the rest of the way in silence. Kanda stops when she reaches her room and heads inside, Jericho continues, she was only 2 doors away from Kanda, when they got inside they both packed their belongings and waited for tomorrow morning.

5 Year ago, Ban's Boredom

It had been a year since Kanda and Jericho went to Baste Prison to continue their apprenticeship under the Weird Fangs. Kanda and Jericho had become somewhat closer being the only two apprentices and 'similar' ages, Kanda never made any more friends after her old ones were framed. She chose not to get close to anyone after past events.

In the training room, Jericho and Kanda trained with each other, Jericho using all her might and Kanda holding back so she didn't hurt her friend. They pushed away from each other and circled.

"I though you were better than this?" Kanda shouted out to Jericho, trying to encourage her.

"Easy for you to say, you haven't even broken a sweat!"

Kanda opened her mouth to say something when a guard came in telling the two that the Weird Fangs have requested to see them, Jericho gave Kanda a confused look and she shrugged it off, putting her sword back in its sheath and walking out with Jericho following. As they approached the door they heard the weird fangs talking.

"I don't think we should tell them"

"Not them just her, wouldn't you want revenge after what happened"

Before they could hear more a guard knocked and let them inside, Jericho got down on one knee while Kanda stayed standing. She had given up on bending ages ago, Jericho looked up at the holy knights and asked "What did you wish to tell us"

"Ah good you're here, we have received news-" Golgius started but was quickly cut off by Friesia.

"Great news, in fact, we have the location of the fox sin of greed, Ban." As soon as the words came out of her mouth Kanda's head shot up and stared at Friesia, Friesia was already looking at her knowingly. Jericho had gasped and her mouth was still a bit open, she had stood up by now.

"Have you captured him yet?" she asked curiously

"Jude and Ruin have already got him and are on their way back, we have a highly secure cell set up and we want both of you there for when he arrives. If you like you could even help with a small bit of torture" Golgius mentions.

Kanda scoffed, catching everyone's attention. 

"There's no way you could have caught him"

"Oh and why not?" Friesia questions

"I've trained under him for years, it wouldn't be that easy. The only reason you could have would be because he wanted you to" Kanda says with narrowed eyes.

Friesia waves her hand and dismisses Jericho and Kanda, both of them walk out and around waiting to be called upon again.

"So... you gonna tell me what that was about," Jericho said, Kanda paid no attention to her and kept thinking about Ban. It had 5 years since they'd last seen each other after the fight. Kanda hadn't realized she stopped and that Jericho was waving a hand in front of her.

"Hello...? You there?"

"Sorry, I was just thinking"

"Was it about what you said in there? Cause I'm wondering too"

"It's Ban, there's no way he would have let himself get caught unless he intended to. He's up to something but I don't know what"

Jericho didn't reply knowing she needed to think, they were just walking around when Jude appeared, they both knew instantly that Ban had arrived and nodded, following Jude down to the lower cells. As they got closer to his cell they heard muffled screaming, Kanda kept looking forward while Jericho turned to her.

"Don't worry, they're just making sure he's welcome" As soon as Jude finished saying that they heard another muffled scream. Once they reached his cell Jude opened the door, they saw the rest of the Weird Fangs and in front of them was Ban. He was chained to the wall with a steel mouthguard stopping him from talking as well as steel spikes impaling him, connecting him to the wall, he had his head down and blood dripping in various places.

"Ahh, our two guests have arrived, nice of you to finally join us" Ruin declared, he looked at Jericho first.

"Would you like a turn Jericho?" he asks holding out a spike, Jericho didn't hesitate and walked up to Ban, stabbing him in the thigh quickly. 

He shook his head a muffled scream making its way out. Next was Kanda, he didn't know she was there but she planned on making him aware, she walked right up to him taking a spike from Friesia. Slowly and painfully she stabbed it right into his shoulder, Ban's head rose as he screamed and when he looked at her pure shock covered his face.

Kanda pushed the spike all the way through into the wall, behind them she could hear the holy knights laughing at Ban's shock. They went on saying some things while Kanda went and stood next to Jericho again, Ban's eye's never left her, even when getting he was stabbed again.

The holy knight's finished quickly and everyone left, as Kanda was walking out she looked back at Ban to see him already staring at her. Before she closed the door she glared at him, trying to figure out his plan, and Ban returned it with another one, seeing him again bought up old memories, memories that may not be replaced with new ones.

As they left Jericho turned to Kanda and peered down at her wrist.

"Is it ok if I can see it?" She asked hesitantly.

In response, Kanda took off her glove and pulled back her armour showing off the maroon wolf and some small scars that lay around it, there had been many attempts to get rid of it and take it off but they were futile. Merlin's magic could only be undone by her, even so, all the tattoos were made to be permanent and remind them of who they are constantly.
