Chapter 31

"What are doing here?"

Asked the young shounen. Kiryuu Shori makes himself brave and answers him.

Shori: we meant no harm. We just came to take shelter from the sudden downpour. The front door got locked when the wind slammed the door closed. So we are searching for an opening to go out of this house.

The two boys glare are each other. The other boy take a step forward. He swings the spear that is in his hand and aims it towards Shori. He dashes forward aiming Shori's arm with his spear and in a split second, Shori extinguishes his flames that are on the mid air, making the room goes pitch black. In that pitch black, Shori managed to push Koizumi Yuu away and dodged the attack.

"Ure good"

Says the boy who attacked Shori. From his voice, they can sensed that he's smirking.

"Play with me more"

Sounds of someone rushing to a certain place could be heard. Suddenly sparks of flames appear at each corner of the hall, making the hall brighter. Koizumi Yuu is still laying on the floor, taking support with both her arms. The young shounen that attacked Shori earlier is standing further away from the stairs while Kiryuu Shori is now standing on the platform of the next staircase. The young shounen has a short dark purple coloured hair.
The boy once again dashes towards Shori with his spear. When he almost reach Shori he jumps and intend to strike from above. Smartly Shori defends the attack with an irod rod which he picked up from the floor earlier. The shounen swiftly moves away from Shori and Shori uses that time to emit fire on his rod, becoming a fire rod.
Both of the boys jumps from their spot and attack one another. The boy with purple hair fights with a smile on his face. At one point, Shori managed to pin the shounen down on the floor but before he could do anything, someone called out his name.

"Stoooop!! Kiryuu!!"(faintly)

Shori shocked. So too Koizumi Yuu. The voice belongs to a girl but not Koizumi Yuu. It belongs to someone familiar. Then they saw one figure taking support from the wall. Both of them knew that person.

Yuu: m..mai Hao san??!!

Cheng Mai Hao appears with lots of wound on her body. She could hardly stand up so much so that she has to take support from the wall.

Shori: what on earth happened to you? More importantly why r u here?

The young shounen uses the opportunity to punch Shori while he's distracted. And it did hit him. Shori falls down to the ground while pressing his wounded cheek. The boy runs and grabs his spear.

Shori: teme... (enduring)
Mai: matte, kiryuu. Wait. Dont attack. That person is... Sabaku Natsuki herself!!

Both Kiryuu and Yuu exclaimed in shockness.

Shori: eh eh? Datte sa...
Yuu: tashikani... otoko desu kedo...
Mai : chigau yo , what i mean is... thats Sabaku Natsuki's body..

Again both of them exclaimed awkwardly. They look closely at the young shounen. That is definitely the eyes, the hair style and the figure that can only belong to a boy.

"(Snorts) huh, dont put me as the same being as my sister. Thats disgusting. Im Sabaku Fubuki, her brother"
Shori: brother... so u do know who did those wounds on Sabaku Natsuki, dont you? Or maybe is it you who did it?
Fubuki: heh! On what basis r u accusing me on that? And for ur information, ive never seen my sister since years ago.
Shori: never see you sister since years ago? What do u mean?
Fubuki: it means what it meant. And this is my house that ure trespassing.
Shori: ur house? This old abandoned house?
Fubuki: (rage) one more word from you

Fubuki jumps into the air and aims his spear towards Shori. Shori defends the attack with his rod and attacks Fubuki in return. It hits Fubuki hard on his stomach and it made Fubuki crashed into the wall and falls down on the floor. At that moment, Cheng Mai Hao falls on her knees in front of Shori, defending Sabaku Fubuki.

Shori: mai hao san, why are you?
Mai: like i said earlier, this person is sabaku natsuki.

Fubuki lose conciousness. To Shori and Yuu's amazement, the hair on Fubuki's head grows quickly and the figure somewhat becomes that of a girl's. And on the second thought, the person now lying in front of them resembles Sabaku Natsuki very much.

Shori: eh? Eh? Wha..? (rubs his eyes)
Mai: like i said.. this is sabaku Natsuki.. anyway, while she's unconcious, lets bring her back to the guild..

Mai tries to stand up but she falls back on the ground. Koizumi Yuu slided her arm on her waist and pulls Mai's arm over her shoulder and lifts her up slightly. Mai looks at Yuu and she replies with a smile. On the other hand, Shori picks Sabaku Natsuki in his arms.

(The fight was actually quite long, but somehow the words arent just coming so i cut them short. If this is a manga, itll take about 1 n a half chaptr.)

AT THE GUILD

Hamano Hikari, Kitayama Tsuyoshi and Fukushima Shinichi arrive at the guild as quick as they can. And there they saw Sabaku Natsuki sleeping on the bed, full on bandages. Cheng Mai Hao is also seen to be sittinf on the chair, also filled with bandages around her arms n legs. Hikari runs towards Yuu and hugs her.

Hikari: yuu chan!! R u alright? Did anything happen to you?
Yuu: im fine hikari chan.
hikari: (hugs tighter) yokatta!

Tsuyoshi: (turns to Mai) geeh! Where did u come from? (suprised after not seeing her for a long time)
Mai: i went to search for her in ur place.
Tsuyoshi: eh? (turns to natsuki) eh? (turns to Shori) eh? (turns to Mai)
Shori: sou da ze, we found her beaten up.
Mai: (throws a rock) do u have to mention that up, kid?
Shori: am i wrong?
Mai: (sighed) sou, i did went to search for her all this time.
Hikari: no wonder u acted weirdly when we saw that abandoned house.
Mai: maa na, because i dont want u to know. I can sense that its quite dangerous. ANyway, i went to that house and saw Sabaku Natsuki was badly beaten up. So i attend to her wounds and suddenly (cut off)

Cheng mai hao's speech got cut off when suddenly Sabaku Natsuki woke up in a sudden. She puts on a terrified face. She looks around her and sees that everyone is looking at her.

Natsuki: eh? Why am i here again...?
Mai: bcoz we brought u here, again with bruises all on ur body. Its done by ur brother, fubuki right?
Natsuki: eh? Fu.. fubuki? (looks down) again with this....
Mai: what do u mean?
Natsuki: (emotional) thats why i hate busy body people!! Why cant they let fubuki be in peace?!! Everyone is always mentioning fubuki fubuki!! But ive never seen him since that day!! So stop mentioning about ppl who are not here anymore!!

The room was in a total silence. They listen to every word of her heart's thought. Tears start dropping from Natsuki's eyes and she starts weeping. Yuu, who is closer to the tissue box, takes it and brings it to Natsuki. She offers to wipe her tears with the tissue bit instead Natsuki hugs her, asking for a body comfort. Yuu cant help but pities her. She strokes her hair as to calm her down. Everyone else sighed and goes to the relaxing zone. Some sat down on the chair and some leans to the wall. They can only hear the sounds of Natsuki crying.

AFTER A MOMENT

Tsuyoshi hands a glass of water to Natsuki, which she takes it and drinks a sip. She has finally calm down after crying her heart out.

Natsuki: Go..gomen nasai for my behaviour..
Yuu: its okay, Sabaku san. We're fellow Emperors, right? So we are basically friends. U can always come to us if u need to.
Natsuki: u can call me natsuki..
