Chapter 35

Meanwhile, we see Abe walking awkwardly as he was already sore from training. He looked like he was hit by truck as people and students were looking at him.

"Man, Isaac is intense. I'm sore where I didn't know I had muscles. And it was obvious he was hold back. But…it's incredible how strong he is. If only I could be like him and Ana." Abe thought to himself.

He looked up and found Lilith waiting by the boys dorm as she was covered up. She even had a scarf covering her face and sunglasses on, so that anyone won't see her face.

"Uh, Lilith?" Said Abe as he approached her.

"Abe, hey!" Said Lilith as she took off her sunglasses.

Lilith's piercing green eyes look beautiful to Abe as he blushed a little.

"Jeez, it's like she's flawless." Abe thought to himself.

"Is something the matter?" Lilith asked.

"Uh, nothing. I just thought you have nice eyes." Said Abe.

"Oh, thanks." Said Lilith.

"So what are you doing here?" Abe asked.

"I actually want to see you." Said Lilith.

"R-Really? Why?" Abe replied in surprise as he pointed at himself.

"I…had fun talking to you. I don't know if you noticed, but I don't have that many friends. And I was wondering if…you'd like to hang out. If that's okay with you?" Said Lilith.

"Sure! I hate to say this, but I don't have that many friends either. You want to hang out in my dorm room? I don't know if you noticed. I'm really tired and sore." Said Abe.

"Absolutely! Whatever is fine with you!" Said Lilith.

It would be moments later as they both walked into Abe's dorm as it was small. It was similar to Isaac's dorm, but Abe had selves of comics and manga. Lilith looked around as Abe quickly picked up some of the comics and trash that were everywhere.

"Sorry for the mess. I'm a fan of these series." Said Abe.

"I can tell. Can I put my coat here?" Lilith asked as she pointed at a nearby chair.

"Sure. Feel free to sit anywhere. But there's a coat hanger over there." Abe replied.

"Oh, oops. I didn't notice it." Said Lilith.

She took off her scarf and coat, while Abe quickly organized. But he glanced up and saw how she was wearing casual clothes. Her shirt was a bit tight on her and had sweat pant. She had a perfect figure, curvy and was bigger than average for girls her age. Abe flushed red, but he shook his head and focused on cleaning up his mess. But they both sat down awkwardly as it was quiet for a long second while Lilith saw Abe's bruises.

"I noticed that you have some bruises on you. We're you bullied?" Lilith asked.

"Oh, no. I've been training with a friend of mine. Trust me if I were bullied. My sister would literally hunt down the person who hurt me." Said Abe.

"You two seem very close. Especially, since she calls you Ham." Said Lilith as she giggled.

"Ugh, don't remind me. She's been calling me that as long as I can remember." Said Abe.

"I can't relate." Said Lilith.

"You're an only child?" Abe asked.

"Um, not exactly. I have a sister. Her name is Delilah. But we were separated at a young age. She's actually my twin. But we're not identical. Physically, we're opposites. I got my looks and a human body. She has strength and looks demonic. You really couldn't tell if we were siblings at all." Said Lilith.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Why did that happen?" Abe asked.

"Demons are just…naturally cruel monsters. And my mother never wanted me or her. We were born from a random human she seduced. The end was bad for him since she ate his soul when he passed out." Said Lilith.

"Lucky guy? Sorry I say what comes to my in uncomfortable situations." Said Abe.

"(Chuckles) It's okay. But she didn't want us but knew selling us would bring her a lot of money. She kept us until we were five. Delilah was sold to demons who ran fights. They forced their slaves to fight other slaves. While me…I was worthless. But she noticed that I inherited her looks and she…had me working." Said Lilith as she paused.

She started to look upset and uncomfortable as Abe quickly stood up but ended up losing balance and falling to his table. Lilith was startled as Abe was moaning on the ground but got back up.

"Uh, I forgot to ask if you wanted something to drink?" Abe asked as he rubbed his leg.

"A-Anything is fine. Are you okay?" Said Lilith as she crouched down.

"Yeah, peachy. I'll be back." Said Abe as he limped away.

Abe grabbed some bottles of juice as he looked concern, while taking his time.

"I can't imagine having a mother like that. And I can't imagine what she went through. But it's none of my business. What happened to her is personal. But she's surprisingly open to me. Maybe it's because she doesn't have any friends. I have heard the rumors that other girls at this school spread. And the rumors guys spread about sleeping with her. But…she doesn't seem like that kind of girl. Makes me wonder why she's talking to me. I won't lie, I do like talking to her. Or maybe it's her aphrodisiac affect getting to me. I mean, she does have huge —NO! NO! I'm better than this! Forget about all that. I shouldn't judge her. We might become good friends." Abe thought to himself.

Abe walked out of his kitchen with the drinks and saw Lilith looking at his collection. Even her standing casually, made her look gorgeous to him as Abe stood motionless.

"Oh, god, give me strength." Said Abe.

Part 3- Meanwhile, we see Jasper on the phone near a trailer that said security break room. He had his security shirt on as he was leaning against one of the trailer walls.

"Thank you, mihijo. The money you sent has helped a lot." Said Mrs. Cruz.

"You must be working hard. You are definitely a Cruz." Said Mr. Cruz.

"Thanks, pa. How are you two doing?" Jasper asked.

"Fine. Just tired." Said Mr. Cruz.

"And you? How is school?" Mrs. Cruz asked.

"You know, the usual. Making sure I pass and working my team." Said Jasper.

"Have you meet any pretty girls? I bet you see a lot of them of different countries, huh?" Said Mr. Cruz.

"Amor, don't corrupt my son with those thoughts. He's not like you. Trying to flirt with any pretty girl he came across." Said Mrs. Cruz.

"That's how I got you." Said Mr. Cruz as they both giggled.

"I'm gonna hang up if you guys are going to keep traumatizing me." Said Jasper.

"Ya, ya, we'll stop." Said Mr. Cruz.

"And we should getting going too. Our break is about to be over. Take of yourself and behave as well, okay. Te quero mucho, mihijo." Said Mrs. Cruz.

"We'll see you someday soon, Jasper. Cuidate, Adios." Said Mr. Cruz.

"Love you guys too. Bye." Said Jasper as he hung up.

Jasper hung up as he sighed, while rubbing his head. He then remembers in his past as his parents were looking at bills in the kitchen as they had many to pay. Jasper stood by a doorway as he looked guilty. He faded out of his memory as he walked into the breakroom and saw the others sitting down together, while Garry and Iris weren't there. He sat down, looking glum as a soda can slid in front of him as it was Franklin who gave it to him.

"It's on me." Said Franklin.

"Thanks." Said Jasper.

"What's wrong?" Scarlet asked.

"Nothing. Just finished talking to my parents. I realized I got a lot to do." Said Jasper.

"Like what? Marcus asked.

"Make money." Said Jasper.

"I hear ya." Said Marcus.

"Don't worry, guys! Everything will turn out good in the end." Said Franklin as he placed his arm around Jasper's shoulder.

"You seem really happy." Said Jasper as he looked tiny compared to Franklin.

"He's just happy that he got to hang out with his gal pal, Valerie." Said Violet.

"Yeah." Said Franklin bashful as he looked to his side.

"I'm glad to hear that, man." Said Jasper as they butted fist.

"Thanks, bro." Said Franklin.

"And what about Garry and Iris?" Jasper asked.

"They should be heading here soon. They went to get some frozen yogurt." Said Marcus.

"Not for everyone, if you're wondering." Said Violet.

"Aw, I was actually expecting to get some." Said Scarlet.

"Hey, is it me or are those two getting really chummy lately?" Violet asked.

"Now that you mention it…" Said Franklin as he stroke his chin.

"Yes, do you guys think they're…you know?" Violet replied as she stroke her chin.

"No." Said Marcus.

"What makes you think so?" Violet asked.

"Because we're team. Romances within is just a bad idea. I mean, Garry has had a crush on Iris for a while, but he knows better." Said Marcus.

"Wait, he has a crush on her!?" Scarlet asked.

"No way! Tell, now!" Violet shouted.

"Look at what you've done." Said Jasper.

"And we made a pact to keep our secrets between us bros." Said Franklin.

"So a bro pact, huh? And tell me!" Said Violet.

"Ugh, I had to screw myself. Look, but no telling okay?" Said Marcus.

"Lips sealed." Said Scarlet.

"No promises." Said Violet.

"Good enough, I guess. Garry's always had a crush on Iris. Because, you know, she's pretty. But he didn't do anything because, we're a team." Said Marcus.

"Aw, I actually ship them." Said Scarlet.

"Let's make it happen!" Said Violet.

"Shut up! And no! And that's an order from your second in command. So no buts." Said Marcus.

"But—" Said Violet.

"No, buts!" Said Marcus.

"What about butts?" Garry asked as he and Iris were there with frozen yogurt cups.

"Violet was making butt jokes." Said Marcus as he pointed at her.

"Of course you'd be talking about butts. Let me guess. Guys butts." Said Garry as he and Iris sat down.

"Y-Yeah. I saw a guy with a nice butt. And it was Marcus." Said Violet as she looked at him.

"W-What!?" Marcus responded.

"Yeah! Ooh, wee, Marcus has some cake on him! You should totally wear tighter clothes." Said Violet as she started to drool

"Can we change the conversation?" Jasper asked.

"Second." Said everyone else.

"Anyway, have you guys seen Isaac lately?" Marcus asked.

"No. I haven't seen him at all. Only your butt." Said Violet.

"Stop it." Said Marcus as he bopped her head.

"I guess he's been busy lately." Said Scarlet.

"I guess so." Said Iris, enjoying her yogurt.

Meanwhile, we see Isaac at the lair as he was breathing heavily and sweating with Rely in his hands. His body was emitting out steam, while he had destroyed a couple of the androids into many pieces. The lair elevator opened as we see Yuko there with her hands in her pocket, listening to music. She looked around in surprised at the mess, until she saw Isaac heated up.

"Whoa, what the hell!? Did you call me to help you clean this massacre?" Yuko asked.

"No. But thanks for coming." Said Isaac.

"Sure, no problem. What's up?" Yuko asked as a clean-up robot started cleaning.

"I was going to call your mom for help, but she's usually busy. So I thought of the next best thing after her." Said Isaac.

"Aw, thanks. I'm flattered." Said Yuko.

"Yuko, I need you as a training partner and a teacher. I need to get better with a blade. Will you help me?" Isaac asked.

"Of course. But after we're done and in return for my help. I want that rematch." Said Yuko with a confident smile.

"Alright, deal. It's been a while since we've fought." Said Isaac as he took off his shirt.

Yuko stared at Isaac as she quickly turned around and cleared her throat. Isaac was muscularly lean and covered in sweat.

"Oh my god, he's hot! Literally and metaphorically! He's really grown a lot. Wait, did he have a eight pack?" Yuko thought to herself as she was red.

"You okay?" Isaac asked.

Yuko then took a deep breath and exhaled as her demeanor changed as she looked serious and quiet as her eyes were focus on Isaac. She then swiped her hand out as sword handle like rod popped out of her sleeve. The rod then extended out a blade as it was then covered in energy as Yuko stood ready for Isaac.

"A little toy made specifically for me. I kept on breaking all of the swords I had, because of the strength I have. Her name is Shinken. So get ready, Ai. I'm not holding back." Said Yuko.
