The Path to Supremacy

New arc p2

"So here we are, any ideas where do we go from here, Seig?" Issei asked as he looked around the train terminal they had just exited into.

"He said that there would be someone waiting for us at the terminal. Lets wait for a few minutes if there is no one we will have to improvise." Seigfried said in a rather stiff tone. He was by no means angry at Issei but the entire situation was mysterious and the underlying tension in the air was beginning to get to him.

"I see, will our contact find us or do we have to give out a signal that they will use to track us?" Ambriel asked as she looked around the terminal searching for a sign or any hidden traps. Probably both the things.

Seigfried looked around for a few minutes after which his eyes found a young man dressed in full black. He had short shoulder length hair that were bound into a short pony tail. His eyes were closed and he was leaning against a wall. Seigfried immediately recognized who it was and hid a grin as he motioned for Issei and Ambriel to follow, while he walked towards his friend.

After reaching within the range of 5 feet Seigfried said "Yo Itachi its been a long while hasn't it?"

A ghost of a smile appeared on Itachis face as he opened his black obsidian eyes and stared at Seigfried for a moment after which he eyes wandered towards Issei and Ambriel studying them. A moment later he went back to Seigfried and said " That it has, 3 years if I am not wrong?"

"No you are correct. Anyways you still eat pocky like you used to?" Seigfried asked in a light hearted joking tone.

"I will have you know that pocky is the snack of the gods, so don't you dare insult it." Itachi retorted with a mock sneer.

" Are you telling me what to do?" Seigfried asked with Narrow eyes causing a slight tension to build around air. Ambriel was increasingly getting worked up and thought that a physical confrontation would be taking place at any moment now.

Issei for his part was highly amused as he immediately noticed what the two were doing. He then turned his attention to Ambriel who was worriedly looking at the two boys infront of him and was signalling to him to try and break them up. When Issei made no motion to move or help she grabbed his arm and hissed

"Why aren't you stopping them? We can't afford any distractions right now."

Issei chuckled in response and held up 5 fingers and said "You will see why in exactly five, four , three, two, one, Now."

As he pointed at Seigfried and Itachi both the boys stopped glaring at eachother and now wore matching grins. Both then stepped up and gave each other a manly hug clearly happy to be back.

Ambriel gaped at the scene for a few moments, her jaw was dropped and she for one could not imagine a scene as absurd as the one happening in front of her to have been possible. Issei on the other hand was chuckling at her reactions. No matter how aloof she could be, she really was Innocent when it came to most of rare things in life.

He then lightly moved his finger to her chin and pushed her chin up and closed her mouth with a light click. "Careful there Amy chan we don't want you getting flies in that pretty mouth of yours do we?"

"You knew that something like that was going to happen didnt you?" Ambriel said with a glare as she turned to look at Issei.
