30. I am Kia

" so let set a ground rule. I am Kia. Not Yui"

We went back into the house and the stiffling feeling had eased up now. Maybe it had come because I was fighting it. Denying it and that cause part of me rebel against me. We sat on the center of the house where it had a octagon shaped garden, with white marbles around it. Azalea, hydrangeas, and red lilies planted beautifully around it.

He had brought me a hot green tea.

"But... cant I just call you Yui.." he look at me with his own version puppy eyes. My God... where did that guy with overconfidence had gone. He's pulling a cutesy act on me and f*ck its working because he's working on it real good. He was too unbelievably gorgeous that he could work his charm like a freaking four leaves clover.

Part of me still cautious of him, because I still remember the chilling and dangerous aura around him earlier. But based on Yui's memories, aside from that nine decades, he became more softer and kinder to her the last one decade together with her. He brought her some flower... massage her feet. Sometimes, he would even act spoil around her.. and yui definitely had a soft spot for those who she love and care.

And I'm afraid I had that too. It annoyed me that I'm annoyed to feel like this.

I sigh. Must be nearing that once in a month thing again. I look at him, still looking at me with his 'pretty please face' and I couldn't help but say yes out loud. He look pleased and quickly ran out to do something, maybe. Then his head pop out at the door way.

"Can you understand japanese, Yui" he asked in japanese.

"I can. I learned it when I was thirteen" I replied him in japanese back. His eyes widen and then he smile.

"Then, that is good." He left me then.

I am thankful that he gave me some space to think. I would've thought he would keep pushing and I don't know how I'll act if he keep it up.

Now, I need to settle about the things that cat had wanted me. They said it was the white devil. There is no recorded thing such as white devil in the library. I had thought that they had everything recorded there, since its a gate of wisdom.. who the heck is this white devil?

Then I heard a a rustling sound before hearing a zap sound. In a blink of an eye, Kai appeared in front of me and grab something in front of me. I blinked my eyes. It happened so fast, i was sure he was somewhere behind me and he just appeared out of thin air.

"How dare you come to my territory and harm what is mine" his word was cold and hard. I stood up and saw he was unmoving and tensed. I look at his hand and saw some kind of a wicked looking arrow that had thorns around it. It looks like a fish bone and I shuddered thinking that if anyone got hit by that, it'll definitely hurt like son of a b*tch to take it out. The whole arrow was glowing with red, and the head of the arrow gleamed wickedly. Kai hand was dripping with blood and I can hear a small splatter sound of blood hitting the wood floor.

He break it into two easily even when the arrow was as thick as a broom's handle. I would have thought they were hunting an elephant with that arrow size. I'm small, they should've used smaller one. I know, I know.. i know I regress but damn, I'm quite offended.

There were ten men standing on top of the roof.

"Kill the woman" the order rang loud and clear as the night had blanket the whole place.

"Great. They are million ways to die but you had choose to die a miserable die to dare offend me."

What happened next had left me flabbergasted. And I had solved my current predicament just by seeing what was happening in front of me.

Kai long jet black hair instantly turn to white and he fly forward with speed that my eyes couldn't catch. Occasionally, I would see the crescent like splatter of blood and soon the whole place rain with blood all over the place. Even the white marbled had turn to scarlet colour. It was a complete massacre and it had happened in mere five seconds. The last person left was the person who had ordered the kill, currently had his throat strangled by Kai above the roof. The full moon stood behind as their backdrop and the whole thing was completely look surreal. With white hair paired with that cold and indifference look, it was peerless majestic and a sight to see. Completely a flip side from his harmless look earlier.

"Who sent you?"

The man in black took out a knife and was going to stab his own heart but it suddenly stopped inches away.

"Fine. You dont want to talk. I'll ask your soul instead" he punch his hand inside his chest, just like he had done to me. But this time he drag the whole soul out from the body and something transparent looking man came out from the body. The same man but this time, he was in apparition form. My jaw dropped and I couldnt believe what I was seeing.

It seems I am not the only one who was in shocked. The soul itself had screamed out loud as he was horrified to see his former body lying on the roof and his transparency situation.

One flick of Kai finger on that soul's lips and he started to talk.

"Dark Queen sent us" sh*t. That queen hadn't given up yet?

"Eilabel? Ha! That coward b*tch had finally grown spine. Did she accidentally lose her goddamned brain along the way to the god forsaken dead forest of hers?" Sneered Kai.

"Good then. She need to learn her place. You would make a good 'gift' for her."

"Wait." Kai slowly turn his cold eyes at me.

"Anything for you" his eyes become softer as it landed on me. Though I could still feel the oppressive tension around us. He was pissed but he is holding on it, barely.

"I don't want her to know that we know each other."

"And why is that?" He look at me with hurt and it seems he had misunderstood my meaning.

"I want her to come at me fully. This is not the first time she had tried to kill me. When the right time come, and that time will come... I'll make sure she regret for starting this. And I always return ten fold of whom had wronged me."

"Oh" i saw him sigh with relief.

"C-can you let me go now?" Asked the spirit a moment later. Kai who look like he had almost forgotten about him, look at the spirit with displeased look.

"Who said I'll let you go?" With a snap of his hand and the spirit tear apart into pieces.

"You should be thankful that I am in good mood. If not, You would have hoped to never exist in this world"
