Chapter Nine

After dealing with hiding the corpses (and looting them, of course), we started to make a camp. "Looks like we got a ton of firewood, thanks to your last attack. How did you manage to do that, anyway?"

"Well, if I told you, you would be against it."

"Not if you already did the action."

"Remember when you sold your soul?"

"Yeah?"

"I may have done the same thing," Hope said while scratching her cheek.

Wanting to destroy a forest, I looked at her. "Prove it," I said calmly, restraining the urge to punch a tree. "How so?" Hope asked. "Well, they usually leave a mark on your ass. I mean where else would they leave a mark?" I teased. Seeing Hope blush with embarrassment caused me to howl in laughter.

"HAHA, you should see your fa- BLERG!!"

Meeting a hammer to my head, I looked at Hope, whose eyes were glowing blue. "Either tell me the truth or you sleep outside," she said coldly.

"Alright, though I'm surprised at the power you got from the experiments," I said with a sly smile. I stood up, walking over to the sniper rifle that was leaning on a tree. "If you understood the source of your power, you would be the only one to rival my power."

"What?"

"We both have access to the hell dragon god's armory. Vothit sees us as rulers of hell." I said while my eye glowed red. As two portals opened up, multiple hands came out and started disassembling the rifle. Hope walked up behind me and gave me a hug. "You've been through a lot, but I'm here now. You won't have to take on the burden alone anymore." Hope said in my ear. "No matter what happens, no matter what lifetime it is, we will always be together. You are mine and I am yours. Okay, snookums?"

"Alright, my emerald."

"Although, you can't have dessert tonight because of the joke you made about my ass," Hope teased. Well, shit. But the joke was worth it. Feeling a hand tug my leg, I looked at the rifle. "Well now, that's a nice looking gun," I said, giving the hands a thumbs up. The gun had a new design as a dragon could be seen clawing their way through the length of the gun. It was able to take my power into its chamber instead of what that girl called "bullets." The firepower and range was also boosted. though I lost the scope somehow. But it didn't matter since when I looked down the barrel of the gun, a crosshair appeared in my sight. "Well, this will take some getting used to," I said to myself, dismissing the crosshair.

"Damnit, just bang the girl already!!" Natsumine's voice boomed.

"WHY ARE YOU WATCHING???"

"Because, I am bored out of my mind."

"What- HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO STOP SPYING ON THE KIDS?" Obsidian yelled. The only drawback was they were ringing in my head.

"I was wondering when someone would say something, " Hope joined in. "The only thing is that I put him on a little punishment."

"Where's the scale, damnit? It's here somewhere.." I muttered. Why must he do this every time, I had no answer. Shortly after searching myself for a red scale, I ended up finding it on my red wing. "Sly little thing aren't you?" I said with a grin as I crushed it, cutting off the Dragon God's connection. "Always trying to spy on me. Talk to your wife or something, freaky lizard," I said while Hope let me use her boobs as a headrest.

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

At the cave of the Dragon Gods, Natsumine was throwing a fit. "THAT BRAT CRUSHES MY RECON SCALE!!! I'M GOING TO KILL HIM WHEN HE GETS BACK!!" he roared. While he could make another one easily, finding a good hiding spot for it was not his forte. Obsidian only shook her head. "That's what you get for spying. You knew he would find it sooner or later, he's an assassin-type Dragokin."

"It doesn't matter, he didn't have to destroy it when he found it," Natsumine pouted.

"What part of ASSASSIN did you miss?"

"He could have sold it, though."

"SO THEY CAN TRACK US???"

"I'm not winning this, am i?"

"No, you're not."

"Fuck me."

"I would, but you are being an ass," Obsidian teased before going to the shower. "Oh, it's on now," Natsumine muttered with eyes full of lust.
