Monica's POV

I sighed. "I don't get why we have to go to this  party..what's the purpose of all this!?"

"The purpose is to have a good time, ma'am." Akuma answered.

'You didn't really have to answer that question..' I said to myself, which was directed at akuma.

Akuma chuckled, tying up my hair in a pony tail; making it as neat as possible. He then placed a due drop necklace around my neck, ever so gently.

"There, all done~" akuma cooed, caressing my cheek.

I slightly shivered. the way he caressed my cheek was kind of weird..I mean I don't remember the last time Kurisutaru had done that to me, but now that I mention it..has Kurisutaru ever done that to me..?

I shook my head and gently pushed akuma's hand away from my face, slightly frowning.

"Ma'am..what's wrong?" Akuma asked, frowning slightly.

"N-nothing..I'm f-fine.." I stuttered, turning away from him.

I merely heard him sigh, "fine, but I am your butler. Therefore you can tell me anything, okay?"

I sighed, "fine.." I then waved my hand off to him, "you can leave now.."

He nodded and began to walk out of the room, looking back at me once more before closing the door and walking down the hallway.

I jumped onto my queen sized bed, mumbling to myself. "What's the point in going to a party right after the fall of beacon..this just doesn't make any sense at all....doesn't anyone care about beacon..?"

I scowled, packing my purse and beginning to do my make up.

Akuma's POV

I silently walked down the hallway. "Was it my fault that Monica became upset..?" I questioned myself.

Just then, I felt a hand rest upon my shoulder, I turned to see Ben. "Hey.."

"Hello master Ben." I bowed, but Ben shook his head and laughed, "please..just call me Ben." He smiled so I returned the smile.

"So..where are you heading off to?" Ben asked, I merely shrugged in response.

"Just walking around until it's time to go, since I have nothing better to do.." I mumbled.

Ben smiled and chuckled, "ya know..I like you better than that retched Faunus of a wolf..god I can't stand him!" Ben growled.

"Speaking of Kurisutaru, where is he? Did you actually kill him?" I questioned, curious to know.

Ben shook his head, "nah..we only told him to leave and if he came back, then we wouldn't hesitate to kill him on the spot.." Ben smirked.

"Oh...." I looked away, hoping that Kurisutaru won't come back.

Ben cleared his throat, "anyway, since you're not busy at the moment..could you take out the trash for me?" He took out a black bag from behind his back.

My eyes widened in surprise. "When did you have that!? I didn't see you with it a minute ago!"

Ben chuckled in amusement, tapping his temple. "Sly fox.."

I shook my head and took the bag, "fine..don't tell me.." I continued to walk down the hallway, and down the seemingly long stairs. Once I had exited the large manor and put the trash in the garbage bin, I proceeded to go back inside when i heard a faint voice in the distance.

I followed the voice into the forest, which was across from the manor and proceeded to walk further into it. I looked around as the voice began to get louder and louder, until I found the source of the voice. I growled in annoyance..

.

It was HIM

.

.

He stopped mumbling words and slowly turned towards me, as if sensing my presence. "Oh..it's you.." he grimaced at my appearance and slowly stood up.

"kurisutaru.." I growled, "why are you here?"

"I want to be as close to lady Monica as possible, but the only people who are standing in the way of getting to her are: you, sir nightmare and Ben.." he hissed, walking closer to me.

He readied his katana, pointing it towards me as I got out 6 daggers from out of the inside of my tail coat pocket, pointing them towards him.

"Infinite in mystery is the gift of the Goddess
We seek it thus, and take to the sky
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest." Kurisutaru said, his expression was now cold and lifeless.

(Does anyone know where that is from? 😁😁 comment down below~)

I shake my head, not even trying to ponder what he had just said. I charged towards him, making the first attack, but he had swiftly dodged it and slashed my back.

"謎の無限は女神我々 のギフトはそれをこうして追求し、残りの部分を知っている水面のさまよう魂の空波紋形かかります。" Kurisutaru's expression turned dark, as he showed emotions of pity and disgust.

I hissed at the pain and stumbled back a bit, cursing under my breath.

"That pain..the pain you are feeling now..is the same pain I felt when I was threatened to leave lady Monica.." kurisutaru frowned, looking away slightly.

"Well it's not my fault..you're the one who couldn't protect her.." I said with no emotion.

His expression turned fierce, as if he was ready to kill me. "It wasn't my fault!! Don't you get that!? I tried to protect her!" He held his chest in pain and agony.

Kurisutaru growled and lunged towards me, swinging his katana at me, however I dodged it and stabbed his abdomen with one of my daggers. He howled in pain and tried to attack me again but I merely dogged it and stabbed him in the foot with another dagger.

"I would love to stay and play, but I have to get back to lady Monica." I sighed, smirking towards him.

"You're not leaving!" Kuri growled, swinging his katana towards me again, I sighed and dodged it.

"Is that the best you can do?" I mocked him, smirking.

"Hmm, so smug..but for how long?" One of Kurisutaru's eyes twitched slightly.

"For as long as I'm away from lady Monica~" I cooed, this caught kuri's full attention as his eyes widened.

"あなたを殺してやる!" He hissed, his eyes turning crimson red with hatred.

All I said was "No...." before I opened my six extra mouths and made them seep with black smoke, letting kuri inhale the smoke as he fell into a traumatising slumber. ( his semblance: dark void)

I scoffed, looking at kurisutaru's vulnerable form. "If no one will end him, then I'll do it myself."

I pulled out another dagger, approaching the unconscious wolf Faunus. I prepare to deal the finishing blow, grinning sadistically while doing so. Suddenly, a tall figure wearing a male yukata and a japanese straw hat upon its' head appeared.

(I drew this on my phone but it's kinda rubbish so..)

My expression changed to a slightly worried expression, what was this thing? And where did it come from. The mysterious swordsman slowly draws his sword, which was long and painted with crimson red substance as he held it up intimidatingly.

????'s POV

I held my sword which was decorated with blood, as I hold it up intimidatingly.

The boy, realizing the imminent threat before him, wastes no time and disappears in a flash. I look down at the still unconscious wolf Faunus, and slash my sword to the side, opening an eerie red portal. I walk away from The male and into the portal. At that moment, The male whom I had saved regained some consciousness and slowly gets back up. As he opened his eyes again, he got a brief glimpse at me before I disappear.
