Chapter 13

"What are you guys talking about?" Issa interrupts. He glances between me and Luke as no one says a word, but his red eyes are filled with an unfamiliar rage. I didn't know what all he had heard, but it was enough to piss him off. Him who easily turned any situation into a joke, someone who almost never showed his hurt. "(y/n), get over here." It was a demand. He was planning on doing something reckless. How Issa-like. But at least he knew it was reckless.

Luke grabs my wrist when I take a step towards Issa, "No." But we both know that was a bad idea as an overwhelming aura of power filled the air. Was that Issa? Was that his true power? I had never seen him like this before. Not at all these last few months.

But Luke had a true form too. His eyes become slits as his arms twist and curl into a monstrous blade. Something like how I'd heard the well known outcast ayashi's forms appeared. A typical hybrid, a strong one, but not enough. He goes to attack Issa but the boy stops it with his bare hand. The skin is slightly sliced, but Issa manages to avoid any severe damages.

He holds Luke's.. arm?? in his hand as his eyes meet mine. "Mind telling me who this is?"

"My ex," I reply in the most irritated face I can manage.

"How interesting," he chuckles. His cold, red eyes meet Luke's. "You need to learn that once it's over, it's over. You already had your chance, and she chose me after experiencing you." He lets go of the male's hand, if you can even call it that. "Stop, and get out of my sight." He forces his usual cheerful smile.

But Luke attacks again, "Shut up!"

"I don't think so." Blocking the next attack, Issa grabs the male and knocks him out against the cement of the roof. Issa takes my hand and tugs me towards the door. "Let's go before he wakes up."

"After a beating like that, I don't think he'll bother." I tell him.
