Dark °Forces U.A. High (MHA ×Hellsing)

Kitsune & Secrets (29)

Gale drove to an old section of Tokyo, the historic district.  It took a couple of hours due to traffic.  Gale was dressed in all black and a large hood was over her hair.

"Good morning young lady, we don't get many your age in here."

"Good morning Botan," Gale said and bowed.

"What is it you seek Kazane?"

"Sake of course..."

" You are up to no good?  The best?" Botan frowned slightly.

Gale smiled "I have Shouta Aizawa to impress."

"The pro hero Eraserhead?"

"The one and the same ,why?"

"You are tainted by the emperor of death and darkness!"

"Botan! Never ever call him that again!  He has a big enough ego already!" Gale said angrily.

" You pass the test but no sake.  You are bound to the dragon.  Leave the Aizawa family."

"Dragon wants me to have love, that he can't give me, with a human.  He knows of Shouta and in his own sick way, approved of Shouta," Gale said quietly.

"If you are still human enough you will not pursue this," Botan scowled.

"But I..."

"No!  If you love this man you will not," Botan preached at her

Gale closed her eyes as tears filled them.  She dropped to her knees and wept.  "I have nowhere to go.  I have to stay far away from Shadow King so I am a teacher UA high school.  I'm an assistant teacher with Aizawa.  How do I stay away?"

"You know very well, the strength of will...Nari."

"What?  I'm not Nari.  That's some woman Aizawa's family thinks is Raiden's daughter.  I would remember if it was me, besides I'm not that old."

"You are old enough and you are Nari but the prophecy can not happen.  You were supposed to meet Shouta ten years ago when you lived here.  The time has passed and you balance on the edge of darkness.  If Shadow King can't learn to love you, then so be it.  It's not about you and love but what is good for the world.  It will be six months then you can go back to 'him', you can wait that long."

"I understand Botan..."

"Kazane you are doing the right thing. "Botan said kneeling down and handing her a small and an ornate flask. "It contains a potent blood wine created by one of the All Father's first children that moved here to escape him.  When the blood lust hits for human blood drink this instead.  You may never change completely."

"Thank you Botan.  I should get going, I am supposed to bring alcoholic drinks to the dinner and it took me two hours to get here."

"I will have something delivered to UA."

Gale stood up and tried to smile.  She left the shop and got in her mini Cooper to slowly drive back to UA.  How to tell Shouta no to everything and still work at UA.

The woman walked slowly into the high school, back hunched and hands in her pant's pockets.  She let a tired sigh.

"All you need is a yellow sleeping bag.."

"Sure, I guess Aizawa."

"So what do I need to do since you're still upset with me?"

"There is nothing, it was better to find out that we are not compatible now..." Gale said turning away from him.

Shouta wrapped his scarf around her body tightly and pulled her to him.  He looked into her eyes so Gale looked past him.  Aizawa frowned and grabbed her hair so she couldn't look away.  The woman closed her eyes.
