Reborn in KHR but as a GIRL!

Chapter 32 - Cubed

AN: First off I must apologise for the lack of update as RL has been hectic to the point of wanting to pull my damned hair out at times, I won't bore you with details but I have had time to flush out ideas for an original novel. Whether this see the light of day alongside this novel or after depends on how RL pans out. Secondly what the hell I turn my back for a little bit and the total view count is up to 2.3k? I have no other words than to say thankyou everyone for all the support you've shown by reading this story!! <3

----------------

Thinking about things logically I said that this is cloak and dagger stuff, but since the start of the raid we've made enough racket to wake the dead.... That said it's everything else that's going on in the background that has that dubious distinction, along with it enough stress to cause me ulcers and that's without the stuff back in our time on top!!! Before I blow a gasket from all this lovely stress I look back to the match ready for the windup of the fight, as that damned snake rushes towards Ryohei with the intent to snack on him. Meanwhile fatso is trying to escape.

"Baishana! Where are you going!? Don't tell me you're going to abandon your box weapon and run away!!" (Ryohei)

"Shut up!! We shall do as we please!!" (Baishana)

Ryohei dodges the snake and as it lands it coils itself ready to strike during this exchange, I shoot the snake a look of pity just as it launches at Ryohei again with the mindless rush that seems to be common amongst the Millefiore. Actually now that I think about things this trait seems to be amongst the White Spell, as it seems that the Black Spell actually treat theirs with a modicum of respect.... This makes sense when I consider who they were (technically) and who they will be again once this mess is over with..... Which reminds me I need to pass something over to Ryohei if canon holds out, which it should in theory as I haven't fucked about with things enough to change that... I hope.

During my musing I miss what Ryohei said but what I didn't miss was the resulting crash from his hitting the snake, he hit the fucking thing with such force from a text book straight right it flew backwards. The force was enough that not only did it flatten that annoying thespian it knocked a big fuck off hole in the wall too, whilst the boys talk I disengage my shield and pack it up alongside Chrome before pulling Lal onto my back just as Ryohei tells us to move I call out.

"Before we leave Ryohei I need you to hold onto something, just in case we come across Gamma as he's not likely to recognise me like this." (Aloy)

I pull out a letter and hand it to him just as we reach him ready to head out, he takes the letter and frowns as he hooks at Gamma's name in cursive on the front before tucking it in the jacket.

"Aloy chan..." (Ryohei)

"Don't make that face Ryohei, its all part of the master plan trust me... Just mention my name saying that I have a message for him, he'll know what I mean even if what's happened is eating at him..." (Aloy)

"Hime..." (Chrome)

I don't continue or respond to Chrome's worry as I turn and walk off as I've said enough already.... Saying any more will just make things worse as the others don't know what's going on and end up painting me in a bad light.... DAMN YOU CHECKERFACE!! Chrome catches up and gently grabs my elbow, slowing us down so the boys overtake us enough that we can talk quietly.

"Hime, what is going on? Even Ryohei can tell that something is hurting you." (Chrome)

"I wish I could tell you Chrome, I really do wish I could tell you..... But I my hands are tied by these shitty rules, just know that things are going on in the background that should tidy this mess up." (Aloy)
