Chapter 17 was a wild ride tensions were rising dramatically now let's see how they play out now. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO LET'S DO THIS SH*T! Also I did notice that some of the videos I used for music have been copyrighted and were taken down so I decided to write the titles of the songs so that in case they do get copyrighted I can at least remember what song I used and for you guys to hear it.

Yagyu's POV

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"Corpse Party Blood Drive Nirvana"

The door was frozen shut preventing me from going downstairs I could feel a dreadful amount of evil in the air to the point where shivers were running down my spine.

Lucian: Now we can have each other's time in our hands. So I hope you're ready to die because tonight it begins...YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE! Shinobi Barrier!

A barrier was made surrounding us both and from there we were in what looks to be a school it was then I saw someone who I thought I would never see again.

Yagyu: No...it's impossible...how are you here?...Sis...ter.

Yagyu's Sister: Yagyu!

My sister embraced me and I hadn't felt such joy in a long while at seeing her again.

Yagyu: H-How are you here?! I thought you...

Yagyu's Sister: Yagyu don't you know I'm always with you even if I'm in a different world. So...tell me something...why did you abandon me all those years ago? Did you not care about me back then?

I looked bewildered by her response.

Yagyu: What're you talking about? I never abandoned you.

Yagyu's Sister: You don't remember back then at the accident. When the car was still in flames you had a chance to save me you could've pulled me along when mommy and daddy grabbed you but you didn't.

I began to think back on the day of the accident but I don't remember much of it. All I could remember was the crash and from there the car burst into flames it was then I remembered both of us were in the back seat my sister and I. My parents managed to escape from the burning car first and from there I could remember I was being pulled out but I didn't pull her with me because I was frozen in fear when I was little.

-------Flashback

Yagyu's Father: Yagyu grab your sister and pull her with you hurry!

Yagyu: I-I-I can't....

Yagyu's Father: You have to do it! Now I'm gonna pull you when I pull you grab your sister!

I felt myself being pulled but I was still shaking in fear and because of my action my father managed to pull me out but he couldn't pull my sister out in time and from there she was burned to death.

Yagyu's Father: NOOOO!!!! DAMMIT! YAGYU WHY?! WHY DIDN'T YOU DO AS I WHAT I TOLD YOU TO DO?! GRAGH! DAMMIT!

Yagyu:....

I remember my father screaming at me and looking back towards the car where my sister was being burned alive all I could do was just watch as the ambulance took me to the hospital and from there the memory kept replaying itself over and over again.

------Flashback ends

Yagyu's Sister: You left me there to die so tell me did you really love me or was that all just a complete lie? Tell me sister...Do...you...love...me?

Yagyu: Y-Yes I do! I do love you!

Yagyu's Sister: Then why did you replace me with her?

Yagyu: Replace you?

Yagyu's Sister: You replaced me with her...that pink haired girl...why? *sob* You care more about her than you do for me. *sob*

I went towards her but she stopped me from going any further.

Yagyu's Sister: Don't try to comfort me! I hate you Yagyu! You left me to die!

Behind her a ring of fire was formed trapping us both and I could see what the fire was doing to my sister's face it was melting from the intense heat however it didn't bother her she only laughed wickedly.

Yagyu's Sister: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THIS IS A HEARTWARMING REUNION DON'T YOU THINK SO SISTER?

She immediately jumped at me and hugged me tight from her embrace I could feel my clothes catch itself on fire and then soon my body was engulfed in flames. I could only scream in pain as the flames kept burning me alive I tried everything I could to keep her away from me but she kept holding me tight. It was then she looked at my face, her face was half melted I could see the insane look on her eyes as she smiled sinisterly while keeping me in her embrace and I had to act fast otherwise I'll die from her embrace.

Yagyu: (I need to push her back!)

Yagyu's Sister: What's wrong sister? Don't you want a hug from your younger sister? Ahahaha!

Yagyu: Ngh! Back off!

I managed to push her far away from me the flames that engulfed my body died out and I surmised that getting into close contact with her will result in me dying.

Yagyu: (Most of my clothes are burned off, and my body feels like its been through an inferno. I'll have to make her see reason.) Sister please let me ex-

Yagyu's Sister: Shut up! I don't want to hear your excuses now come here and we'll die together okay?

She rushed at me again and in desperate panic I went into my shinobi transformation and used my umbrella to slice off my sister's head.

Yagyu: *gasp* No! I...I...didn't mean to...Oh my God...I killed her again! Dammit!

I then saw a red spirit in which it laughed at me seeing me mourn over my dead sister.

Spirit: Kihihi how sad your sister is dead. Kuhahahaha now what will you do cry? Or find a replacement? After all you certainly value this girl more than you do your sister. Behold!

In front of me stood Hibari blindfolded, crying, and scared beyond belief.

Hibari: *sobbing* Someone help me!

Yagyu: Hibari!

Hibari: Yagyu is that you?!

Yagyu: Yes it's me Yagyu! Don't worry you're going to be safe!

Spirit: Are you sure? Look behind her closely.

I had a look of shock when I saw my sister behind Hibari brandishing a bloodied axe.

Yagyu: No...

Spirit: Yes your sister's hatred shall never be appeased unless her replacement dies so say goodbye to your beloved Hibari.

Yagyu: NO! HAAAAH!!!

I immediately summoned ink kunais in hopes of freezing my sister in place. But my sister did something else she grabbed Hibari and the ink kunais pierced her vital organs. When I saw that I screamed, I killed not one but two people who I cherish the most. At that point my mind felt like it shattered. I couldn't come to terms with what I did. It was then I saw the shape of Lucian with his back turned towards me and out of anger I removed the handle of my umbrella which had a blade concealed inside of it and I immediately rushed and began to stab him repeatedly.

Yagyu: IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU THAT THIS HAPPENED! HIBARI IS GONE YOU TOOK HER AWAY FROM ME! HIBARI MY SWEET PRECIOUS HIBARI DEAD ALL BECAUSE OF YOU! IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR YOU I WOULD STILL BE WITH HER. HIBARI WOULD BE ALIVE! As for my sister it's my fault for not taking action and saving her. But as for you I know that you tainted her I will never forgive you!

I kept stabbing him repeatedly until his back bore a lot of stab wounds but what I found surprising was that he didn't scream out of pain. I turned him around to see his face but my eye saw that it was a transformation technique my face went into that of pure shock when I saw Hibari with tears enveloping in her bloodshot eyes her mouth open as blood was pouring out.

Yagyu: No! That can't be! I stabbed Lucian not you...what's happening? D-Did I really kill the people I love?

I could feel my body become weak, a thick black mist degan to emerge from my feet and made it's way to my body I couldn't feel anything all except the cold sensations this mist was giving off I felt like I was going to a deep slumber but the last images I saw before being enveloped in the mist is the faces of both Hibari and my sister. Hibari whose eyes was crying tears of blood with that same expression and my sister with half her face burned off.

Yagyu:...Th-This is it I don't have...any reason to live anymore...I'll see you soon sister and Hibari and from there...I will do every...thing...I c...a...n to....ma...ke...you....hap...py.

I closed my eyes as the mist began to envelop me I felt that my body was about to fall but the feeling of being slammed into the ground never happened I could no longer feel my body and from there I drifted off into the darkness.

I watched in joy as Yagyu was consumed by her own fears and submit herself to the darkening as I watched the events unfold from the red spirit's flame.

Dark Lucian: Kuhahahahaha! Submit to your own fears and wallow in despair damned bitch. Hm? Tch so found me at last did they? This time I'll kill them for sure.

————Before Lucian traps Yagyu into her nightmare. Ikaruga's POV

After dinner I went to my room and began getting myself ready for bed but I couldn't help but replay the events that happened and what Katsuragi told us.

Ikaruga: (Lucian...why? Why would you do such a thing? You have friends to talk to you don't have to shoulder that pain anymore.)

I began to think of how to make Lucian be more open with us instead of us just being silent.

Ikaruga: Maybe I should check on the roof to see if he's there that's his usual training ground.

I went up to the stairs that led to the roof and along the way I found Katsuragi.

Ikaruga: Katsuragi what are you doing here?

Katsuragi: Trying to find Lucian that way he can train me, and also have a talk with him. There's some things I want to discuss with him.

Ikaruga: So you as well. Well let's start with the rooftop that's where he usually trains.

Katsuragi: All right then!

We made our way up to the rooftop however once we got to the stairs I felt a sudden chill that sent shivers down my spine. I felt something cold, dangerous, and unnerving I looked to my side and found Katsuragi hugging herself while she shivered.

Katsuragi: Oh man it sure is cold out

Ikaruga:....I don't think that's the case let's hurry up!

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me and I knew the feeling I had was right the stairs that led up to the rooft was frozen in ice.

Katsuragi: Wh-what?! Why is there ice here of all places?

Ikaruga: Oh no could it be that?

I replayed the memory in which the Lucian was taken over by the yoma seal.

Ikaruga: Come on!

I climbed up the stairs making sure I don't slip with Katsuragi following and we made it to the door however the entrance was blocked off by a thick layer of ice.

Katsuragi: Leave it to me! Shinobi Transformation!

She transformed into her shinobi outfit as did I.

She then proceeded to kick the ice down but her kick did nothing to the ice.

Ikaruga: Let me try. Oukaensen!

I aimed the phoenix fireball but nothing worked the ice didn't have show any signs of damage or melting.

Katsuragi: Now what?!

I felt something cold within my chest and I pulled it out to see the pendant shining blue.

Katsuragi: Is that the?

Ikaruga: Yes! With this we can get Lucian to come back.

Katsuragi: Great now how are we supposed to activate it?

A flash of light shined on us and we then woke up to the abandoned school.

Ikaruga: We have to find him and bring him back...I noticed something our shinobi transformations they wore off.

Katsuragi: Yeah they did but no time we gotta find him and we may as well stick together since who knows what could happen here?

Ikaruga: Fair point.

We opened the door and began our search.

Dark Lucian's POV

I could feel their presences getting closer to my domian so I prepared myself I got my bloodied scissors ready and with my capabilities I should end them with no sweat as I hid them, I heard the door to one of the classrooms open and in front of me were my supposed to be friends.

Dark Lucian: (Maybe they don't know if I'm the good one...I should play this out to see how it goes. Play into the enemies hands and kill them when their guards are down.)

Ikaruga: Lucian we finally found you!

I put on my best impression of my other self since my voice was a lot deeper than my good self.

Dark Lucian:...Ikaruga, Katsuragi thank goodness I found you.

Katsuragi: Are you okay did Yagyu hurt you?

Dark Lucian: Yes...she did. We were on the rooftop and suddenly a flash of light appeared and somehow I ended up here and from what I'm seeing you two are here as well. So did a shinobi come to Hanzo Academy and flashbanged us to take us here? If so then why here?

Ikaruga: Well then we know how to escape from here. I have this pendant and it allows us to travel here and bring us back.

Dark Lucian: Really how?

It was then she revealed a golden heart pendant with angel wings coming out of it.

Dark Lucian: (! Th-That...That pendant...no...tch I need to take it away from her and smash it! However I can't look too suspicious.) W-well let's get out of here I can't wait to get back.

Katsuragi: Hey Lucian I want to ask something.

Dark Lucian: What is it?

Katsuragi: Why are your hands covered in blood?

Dark Lucian: (Shoot! I fucked that up.) Probably the kidnapper might've hit us with something. (Tch blast it I'll have to make my move and quick!)

Katsuragi: I see now tell me are you yourself right now cause when Ikaruga showed the pendant your expression changed into of pure shock and fright, and there is something glimmering in your pocket what is it?

Dark Lucian:...(Fuck it all!) YYYYYYAAAAARRRGGGGHHHHH!

I pulled out the sharp bloodied scissors and began to slice at the girls in which they quickly jumped back.

Katsuragi: I knew it! That's not the real Lucian. Who are you?

Dark Lucian: I'm Lucian.

Ikaruga: No way the Lucian I know isn't like you! So where's the real one?

Dark Lucian: I don't need to answer you since you're already going to die!

I quickly jumped over a table and began to slice and stab the girls but they kept dodging my strikes.

Ikaruga: Give the real one back!

Dark Lucian: Oh shut up will you?! Lucian this, Lucian that! I am him the real deal. So just shut up and accept it already!

Katsuragi: Ikaruga we got to transform!

Ikaruga: Right!

I saw them try to transform but to no avail I kept slicing and trying to stab them but they kept dodging my strikes.

Katsuragi: Wh-what the?!

Ikaruga: How is the transformation not working?!

Dark Lucian: What's wrong? No transformation out to help you now? Are you really that weak without it? What a pathetic bunch of make believe ninjas. I wonder why I haven't killed you yet.

Ikaruga: That's because the real Lucian isn't like this he's kind...and cares about his friends there's no way he's a bloodthirsty killer.

Dark Lucian: Oh please like I would want backstabbing bitches like you as friends! I don't have any! I prefer solitude more than being around you filth. (I'm going nowhere with this my as well improvise.)

I began making handsigns and much to the girls shock they fell right to my trap. They tried to stop me but I charged the scissors with lightning and extended it's range to a short sword and I managed to slice Katsuragi's body from the waist upwards her shoulder but it wasn't enough to actually kill her since she jumped back at last minute.

Katsuragi: GGGAAAHHHH!!!

Ikaruga: Katsuragi!

I went behind Ikaruga and got my scissors ready for it to be plunged into her head.

Dark Lucian: (Now it's your turn)

She turned around only to realize that now it was too late to do anything.

Dark Lucian: Die!

Katsuragi: I don't think so! Ikaruga get out of the way! (Man this thing is heavy!)

I saw that she managed to grab a bucket full of what appeared to be small screws and a rusted knife that was contained inside and she threw it at me. Ikaruga managed to get away meanwhile I all of the sharp objects was heading to my direction however they didn't realize that I just used a technique not too long ago so this was both a smart and a stupid plan.

Dark Lucian: Wind Release: Gust Dispersion!

I made a barrier of wind in order for the sharp objects to surround and I can hurl them right back at them.

Dark Lucian: Die.

I forced the wind to create a current sending the sharp objects everywhere Katsuragi and Ikaruga took cover however some of the sharp objects managed to slice their skin.

Dark Lucian: Well that was both a good yet stupid plan so seeing as how your all cut up from the legs down it'll be hard to stand up with that many cuts.

Ikaruga: Ngh...Lucian I know you're in there fight it! You can beat this!

Dark Lucian: Huh? You're still going with that nonsense? How pathetic.

I saw Ikaruga frantically grab the rusted knife.

Dark Lucian: Oh please you think that's gonna save you?

Ikaruga's POV

I saw him approach me with a psychotic expression holding the bloodied scissors in his right hand that was given the form of a blade made of lightning. I quickly grabbed the rusted knife and held it firmly.

Ikaruga: Lucian please stop!

My voice couldn't reach him anymore. I felt like now I was really going to die, I closed my eyes waiting for the inevitable but I felt something move my left arm in a quick motion. I opened my eyes to see a golden glow shining on the rusted knife. I could feel a slight warmth radiating from the aura and I began to stand up and put up a defensive stance.

Dark Lucian: Hmph you actually think that rusted knife is gonna do you any good?! Well think again!

He began rushing towards me and I could feel my left arm was moving all on its own accord I felt like I had no control and it was then both the knife and the scissors clashed and from there a bright flash of light shined on us I instantly covered my eyes. I opened my eyes to see Yagyu on the ground unconscious, however I felt something new within me something powerful was inside of me yet I instantly felt hopeful, and confident.

Ikaruga: Yagyu!

Katsuragi: It's all right I got her!

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"Umineko: Justice"

Dark Lucian's POV

As we clashed once more I was knocked back by a powerful force slamming me onto the wall it took me by surprise that she was able to push me back. I barely heard Ikaruga call out Yagyu's name meaning that she must've been released from her nightmare shackles.

Dark Lucian: Augh! H-How? How did you...*gasp* What is that?! (Is...is that a new transformation of hers?)

I saw that Ikaruga had done a shinobi transformation however there was something new to it. Two phoenix crests were glowing at the sides of her arms, her body was glowing in a radiating light I could feel the power of light coming from her. The rusted knife transformed into her sword which was on her left hand glowing blue but it had a golden aura covering it completely, it's almost as if she was holding a weapon of light I could feel myself reacting negatively to it.

(A/n): I know this is supposed to be a one winged eagle (*insert Sephiroth memes here cause of the one winged angel*) but to me this symbol is better represented with Ikaruga's new transformation.

Dark Lucian: Ggh! Th-this can't be?! (How did she attain that form?!) Grrr...This is not the way this ends!

Katsuragi: Woah...Ikaruga what did you do?

Ikaruga: I'm not entirely sure but...(This power...with this I feel like I can win and save him!) Give up now and give back Lucian!

She then charged at me and impaled her sword to where the yoma seal was placed. My whole body began to burn when it made contact in that area it felt like I was being burned from the inside out.

Dark Lucian: Ggggaaaaaaaagggghhhhhh!!!! T-T-This pain means nothing to me!

From the aura surrounding her swords of light emerged and impaled itself onto my body.

Dark Lucian: AAAAAAAAHHHHH...(This burns! It burns so much! I have to get out of here and fast!) DAMMIT! THIS IS NOT HOW I'M GOING TO BE DEFEATED!!! I WON'T BE BEATEN BY AN INSIGNIFICANT BASTARD LIKE YOURSELF!

With a snap of my fingers a dark aura surrounded me completely devouring the swords of light and it healed me completely.

Dark Lucian: If you called forth a miracle then I too shall call forth one as well!

I made my right arm have an aura of darkness and with it a sword appeared I immediately rushed at trying to kill her. However when we clashed I was being pushed back by her. I kept trying to hit her however she kept blocking my strikes until she punched my face and I could feel my face burning from the force in which she threw it at me.

Dark Lucian: Gah!...Grrr....Damn you!

Ikaruga: Give up! I won't let you do as you please with Lucian's body anymore. Bring him back!

Dark Lucian: Never! I won't give up this body anytime soon.

Ikaruga: Fine then it seems I have no choice...

She brandished her hand over her sword and from it the glow began to get brighter and she made the pose of when she used her Ninja Art: Oukaensen.

Dark Lucian: (I need more hatred...more negativity...more strength! Hate...Rage...Grief. I need more power!) Guh....GGGGRAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!

I looked to where my chest was and I saw that the yoma seal in which she stabbed me in became a spear of light which shot to the ground and it held me in place.

Girls: !

Ikaruga: It's now or never....Luminous Style: Shining Phoenix!

From her swing flames appeared in the forms of small golden phoenixes and aimed them straight at me I used my wind affinity to push them back but it was in vain by the time the wind made contact with the flames it was already weak in which her attack passed by and it struck me. I became engulfed in the flames.

Dark Lucian: Ggggggrrrrrraaaaaaagggggghhhhhh!!! *huff, huff*....No....how could I lose to her...Huh?

I began to notice that my right arm was going to disappear.

Dark Lucian: (N-No way am I...starting to disappear?) No...not now! Grgh! Damn you IKARUGA!

*music ends*

My body began to glow and I could feel myself getting weak rapidly I had to get out of there now otherwise my existence would be erased. The spear of light disappeared I took the chance and punched a hole into the ground and generated electricity making the girls back up with Katsuragi picking up Yagyu I sent the current in their direction forcing them to retreat.

Dark Lucian: Gah...huff....shit! Wasted too much power I need more negativity...I need to concentrate.

I focused my thoughts and I could feel negative energy surge into me but slowly.

Dark Lucian: What the hell is going on? Grr....Why isn't my body getting healed immediately? Unless...that last attack that bastard hit me with...she must've drastically caused my negative healing to slow down. Damn with the way I am now it'll be a long time before I can take over this body again. I need a big negative source in order to heal completely otherwise I'll be erased...for now it's best if I rest.

With little strength that I had I broke more of the floor and crawled into the hole where I punched through and dived down into the abyss filled with nothing but a giant pool filled with corpses and slept before I shut my eyes I could feel those disgusting presences leave my domain.

Dark Lucian: Tch finally fucking vermins.

Katsuragi's POV

As soon as we woke up we were back at the entrance that leads to the rooftop. I stood upplacing a hand over my head and realized the wounds I got from there are healed completely.

Katsuragi: (Looks like we made it back safe and sound...and from the looks of Ikaruga and myself our wounds are healed.)

Ikaruga: Mmngh...are we back to our world?

Katsuragi: Yeah looks like it hang on I'm about to bust this door down.

I kicked the ice wall and it shattered upon impact unlike before in which I could barely make a dent in it and from there I saw it both Lucian and Yagyu was on the ground facedown however Lucian's clothes were drenched in blood.

Katsuragi: I'll get Lucian you take care of Yagyu.

Ikaruga: No wait let me be the one to get him after all I managed to inflict damage on him.

Katsuragi: All right but just in case I'll back you up.

We cautiously approached Lucian's body I could feel my heart racing. In my own mind I could hear nothing but the beating of my heart it kept pounding as I could feel my fear begin to rise up. When we approached him he gave no reaction I then decided to poke him to see if there was any sudden movement.

Ikaruga: Back me up if this gets bad.

Katsuragi: Got it.

Every moment her finger was inching near his body she kept hesitating. I could understand why my mind began to play images of Lucian's appearance today when we were all in that abandoned school. His red eyes covered by his hair that haunting smile of his and that menacing voice I was truly scared of him it was then Ikaruga snapped me out of my thoughts.

Katsuragi: If you want I'll take over.

Ikaruga: No it's fine...I can handle this.

She poked his body and no reaction was shown not even the slightest movement except for his breathing.

Ikaruga: No movement...all right time to lift you up.

She placed Lucian's arm over her shoulder and I noticed something glowing underneath his shirt I pulled his shirt down a little and saw that the yoma seal he had been given was glowing a faint blue hue.

Ikaruga: Why is the seal glowing?

Katsuragi: Hey Ikaruga check it out the pendant it's reacting as well.

She looked at the pendant and held it in her hand then the glow shined brightly englufing us.

Ikaruga: Wh-what the?

Katsuragi: Woah!

WARNING THIS SCENE WILL BE BRUTAL IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS PLEASE SKIP AHEAD UNTIL YOU SEE THE NEXT BOLD TEXT. ALSO THE PART YOU ARE READING IS NOT BASED ON REAL LIFE EVENTS IF IT IS THEN IT IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL.

I opened my eyes and saw nothing Ikaruga was beside me and Lucian's body mysteriously vanished from my hold.

Katsuragi: Where's Lucian? I was holding him a couple of minutes ago...

Ikaruga kept looking around until she called out to me.

Ikaruga: Katsuragi look.

I looked to where she was pointing and I saw two kids punching and kicking another kid that was on the floor crying and bleeding.

Kid 1: Wow what a loser!

Kid 2: Why not run home to mommy and daddy?

We got closer and saw that the kid that was beaten up was Lucian but one question came up in my mind.

Katsuragi: Wait...how is Lucian a kid right now? He was around our height.

Ikaruga: Doesn't matter now all that matters is rescuing him.

Katsuragi: Right

As the kids kept bullying I tried to stop one of the kids from punching while Ikaruga tried to hold the kid that was kicking him back but when we tried to restrain them our hands phased right through them.

Kid 1: What a coward.

Kid 2: You really are lame.

Kid Lucian: *sniff* Why are...you doing this? *sob*

Kid 1: It's cause you're a freak.

Kid Lucian: Huh?

Kid 2: And freaks like you shouldn't deserve to live.

They kept kicking and punching him, all the while Lucian was covering his head but most of the kicks and punches managed to leave his head bleeding. We could only watch as he was being bullied we couldn't take this anymore so we tried to intervene and like before we only phased right through them.

Kid 1: Hey hold him up!

Kid 2: Right!

One of the kids held Lucian up and the other kid began punching his body and then punched him in the eye and the other kid that was holding him up tossed him aside.

Kid 1: Know your place freak.

Then the kid that held him up spat on his face.

Kid 2: That's your only lesson.

Kid Lucian:....

We got close to him to try to console him but it was then we heard his voice.

Kid Lucian: (Why?...Why do the other kids hate me? Did I do something to them? Am I really a freak just like they say?)

We then spoke up trying to cheer him up.

Ikaruga: No that's not true Lucian you're a friend to us.

Katsuragi: She's right we'll stay by your side always.

However our words fell on deaf ears, but we then heard another voice belonging to Lucian.

Lucian(?): (You want to know why those kids hate you so much? It's because they see you as a loser, a fool, an abomination. Your appearance, the way you talk, the way you act the kids see you as weak. This world has no place for a nice person but tell me something how would you like to get revenge on them?)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2: Orochimaru's Appearance"

It was then we saw another Lucian in front of his child self except his appearance looked like that of a phantom with a dark purplish aura.

Kid Lucian: (Huh? Rev...enge?)

Lucian(?): (Yes make them feel the pain you've felt. Make them suffer for everything that they put you through. Don't you want to to make them feel pain?)

Kid Lucian: (But that's not a right thing to do, if I was to do that then I'd be no different than them.)

Lucian(?): (*sigh*...allow me to tell you this...you kid have a good heart and soul but it's just not suited in this world. They'll take advantage of you...of your kindness and leave you to rot at that point you will feel empty however by exacting your revenge you would feel complete. Don't you want something earned back instead of nothing but pain? By receiving pain you can give the same people who hurt you more pain make them suffer for what they did to you, and the feeling you can get from delivering pain onto others is very fulfilling...tell me wouldn't you want that? The feeling of being complete?)

Kid Lucian:....

It was then Ikaruga began to shout pleading Lucian's child self to not give into the dark offer. However I realized what this is and it's best if I told her.

Ikaruga: Don't listen to him! Nothing good can come out of revenge! Lucian please listen to me!

Katsuragi: Ikaruga don't waste your breath.

Ikaruga: Huh?! What're you saying Katsuragi? We have to convince his child self not to gi-

Katsuragi: Ikaruga I don't think we can do anything want to know why? It's because this must be one of Lucian's memories and since we're seeing it we can't interfere. If we could we could've restrained those boys from hurting him...as much as I hate to say it but we have to let the memory continue to find out more.

Ikaruga looked at me with a look of uncertainty and disbelief but in the end she chose to accept it.

Ikaruga: *sigh* I suppose you're right.

We then turned back to the two and saw how the memory played out.

Kid Lucian: (I won't accept it, I'll be no different than them I don't want to exact revenge it's wrong.)

Lucian(?): (Then allow me to demonstrate what you can do once this is done.)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"Umineko: Golden Slaughterer"

It was then I saw his phantom enter inside his child self. He stood still for what seem to be only 5 minutes I saw him clench his fist hard, his face changed into a sinister smile and with a wicked laughter that sent chills down my spine he rushed at the two kids and took them down. He quickly got back up and began to brutally punch the kid that held him while the other friend simply watched the show.

Kid 2: Argh! Agh! H-Hel...

His sentence was cut short when I saw Lucian punch him in the mouth and was a crying mess.

Kid Lucian: Kihihihi Aww what's wrong? Where's that confidence you had earlier gone to? Are you scared? Do you fear me? Do you fear what this "freak" did to you? Tell me...Hm? Oh what's this? Your tooth has become loose...let's see how much punches and kicks will it take in order for that tooth or should I say teeth to come out?

He kept punching the kid as blood kept spilling I covered my eyes and I saw the other kid frozen in fear of what he's witnessing. I closed my eyes and covered my ears but it worked to no avail since the screams kept getting louder. I don't know how long we kept covering our eyes and ears to me it felt like an eternity it was then the screams died out, all that could be heard was crying. We uncovered our eyes and saw a horrific sight Lucian was caked in blood as for the other kid he was barely even breathing he could only whimper out a stutter until he finally cried.

Kid 2: *sob* Wwwaaaaahhhh!!!!

Kid Lucian: Pathetic...truly pathetic oh well a crying face won't stop me from having my fun.

He then jabbed his thumbs in his eyes making the kid scream one more time until it was finally over no movement came from the boy he was killed without any show of mercy. Lucian slowly rose his head then looked at the other kid who stayed and watched the carnage unfold.

Kid Lucian: Oh? You're still here good for a minute I was so focused on him I nearly forgot about you. Honestly if you ran quietly you would've lived. But since you chose to stay I take it you want death as well?

It took everything for the kid that was shivering in place to muster out a word.

Kid 1: N-no!

Kid Lucian: Oh then why stick around? When you could've ran quietly I wouldn't have noticed you so since you've stuck around I suppose I may just let you live...or...

I saw Lucian quickly grab a rock from the ground and jammed it into the kid's eye.

Kid 1: AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! Gah!

He then placed the rock on the ground and slammed his foot onto the boy's back making him fall in which it pierced his other eye.

Kid 1: AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! It hurts...it hurts....it hurts!!!!!

Kid Lucian: Oh how tragic...you know that tripping can be very painful you'll have to be extra careful.

I couldn't stand watching this anymore I quickly rushed at him while Ikaruga stood still in shock.

Katsuragi: I've had just about enough of this!

I tried to restrain Lucian and call out the thing that's possessed him unfortunately it was all in vain. I knew we were in a memory but still I wished there was something we could do instead of standing there and watching the bloodshed. After all my failed attempts the boy died and Lucian slowly rose up.

Kid Lucian: Kihihihihi....AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What a wonderful show that was! An amazing string of works...hm?

It was then I saw Lucian's body drop to the ground and the moment he hit it. It snapped him awake he rose up and rubbed his head but by the time he saw the bodies he went into a state of panic.

Kid Lucian: H-huh what happened?...! Oh my God! What happened?...What did I do? What did you make me do?

His phantom appeared before him and gave him a sinister smile.

Lucian?: Oh nothing much I just gave them their due punishment so how do you feel? Do you feel joy? Do you finally feel complete?

He didn't say a thing all he could do was look at the bodies and his hands after a couple of seconds he let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Kid Lucian: Ah....ah....AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! H-how c-could I d-do this? How did...it come to this? RRGH! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

*music ends* BRUTAL PART ENDS AS WELL.

A flash of light suddenly appeared and we covered our eyes, when we opened them we were back at the rooftop of Hanzo Academy.

Katsuragi: *gulp* D-Did that really just happen? Did Lucian really brutalize those kids when he was just a kid?

Ikaruga: That might be a high possibility, Lucian was possessed and remember what Hibari told us he was taken over by a dark force. He had no control over it and look at what happened he's a murderer now, but there's one thing I don't understand the children who were murdered how did their parents handle it?

Katsuragi: I don't know but right now let's wait for tomorrow if a reaction occurs from questioning that then we know that Lucian did murder those kids while he was possessed....poor guy I can't help but feel pity for him now. It must've been tough holding back after all this time, but it became too much so when that spirit possessed him all those hateful emotions he held back erupted into a volcano...

I then crouched down and ran my hand over his hair.

Katsuragi: Lucian I'm really sorry you went through such a horrific scene when you were a kid but....please don't give into its pull. You have a good heart, and you made great friends so please whenever you're sad think about us and hopefully it will cheer you up somewhat.

I carefully picked up Lucian and placed his arm over my shoulder and began to carry him to the infirmary, and Ikaruga did the same to Yagyu. We took them both in and the doctor wasn't surprised to see Lucian again so he began to patch both of them up and placed them in seperate beds.

Doctor: Okay that should do it.

Ikaruga: Are they going to be all right?

Doctor: All they need is rest Lucian's condition isn't too bad as for Yagyu she'll be fine all they need is some rest.

Katsuragi: I see well thank you.

Doctor: No problem now it's about time you went off to sleep right?

I covered my mouth as a yawn escaped from me.

Katsuragi: Hehe yeah you're right.

Ikaruga: Let's leave them to their rest.

We left the infirmary and went back to our rooms however during the walk back to our rooms that memory we saw won't escape from my mind it's like it was carved in there.

Katsuragi:...

Ikaruga: You're thinking about that memory aren't you?

Katsuragi: Yeah...it's just really surprising...the way he just mercilessly killed them...I know he was possessed but...rrgh...right now I don't know what to think.

Ikaruga:...Tomorrow we'll talk to him if he reacts to what we say then we can be certain that the memory we've seen today is true. He really did kill them however after that he shouldn't be a shinobi anymore after all to be a good shinobi you mustn't kill anyone but for Lucian well...

Katsuragi: Ikaruga if you plan on telling Hanzo about this you do realize that Lucian will be booted off the team, and once he's booted out what then? Our days with him will end and worse of all is how would you feel? I know you got a crush on him...but if he's booted your relationship with him ends...speaking of which how did you end up falling for him? How did that start?

Ikaruga: It was back to when we first met...when I first saw him I couldn't help but think how cute he was when he was hiding from us but that thought was completely washed away when he blasted us off with his wind release technique. I realized then that he was afraid of girls, but after your little "stunt" in the bathroom he began to talk with us normally and that was when I saw more to him. He's kind, strong, and caring, he helped train Hibari and I. For me he taught me one of his fire release techniques while for Hibari she was taught his lightning release technique, so if you were to go train with him I can guess that he will teach one of his techniques.

Katsuragi: I see...well then what's the plan?

Ikaruga: Plan?

Katsuragi: What do you intend to do now? If you tell Hanzo it's over for Lucian, if you don't tell him then Lucian gets to stay and you can know more about him and who knows I may even tag along for the ride if you know what I mean.

Ikaruga: No I'm not going to do that, I won't approve of any situation of a harem forming.

Katsuragi: Buzzkill. But anyways if you do tell you do remember that Sylvia's out there and she wants Lucian's power if she takes ahold of him who knows what will happen then?

Ikaruga: Fair point. I'll keep my mouth shut as for you you'll-

Katsuragi: Do the same? Of course after all things have gotten really interesting ever since Lucian joined the team.

I saw that Ikaruga looked to the ground and gave a small smile.

Ikaruga: Yeah that's true. We've talked and seen enough time to get some sleep.

Katsuragi: Oh yeah there was one thing I wanted to know back in that place what was that? Your body had an which shined like gold and your shinobi transformation had a small change to it what was that?

Ikaruga: That...I'm not too sure but somehow all I could think about was saving Yagyu and then in that moment when Lucian and I clashed that happened.

Katsuragi: Well transform and see if it stayed with you because that new transformation of yours really saved our necks our attacks didn't work but somehow yours did and it left some heavy damage on his dark self.

Ikaruga: Good point we may need it in the future. Shinobi Transformation!

I changed into my outfit however when I did nothing changed. My shinobi outfit remained the same I don't have that radiating aura from before.

Katsuragi: Looks like it's a one shot use unless it's your hidden potential in which you tapped into and now you can't use it cause you can't bring out the potential unless it's a last resort.

Ikaruga:...Hm that might be the case but somehow I'm getting the feeling that's not how it works. Okay now we've really talked enough let's get some sleep.

As we went into our rooms I heard a bloodcurdling scream and I knew immediately who that was.

Katsuragi: Lucian!

I quickly ran back to the infirmary along with the rest of the girls who were awake to the scream. We went inside and I saw Lucian fighting off the doctor.

Doctor: Hold still!

Lucian: NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

Doctor: Can you please restrain him? I'm trying to calm him down but he won't sit still.

Asuka ran to him and grabbed his arm.

Asuka: Lucian please just calm down.

Unfortunately that was in vain he pushed her hard and was slammed into the wall.

Asuka: Gah!

I saw that he immediately clutched his head afterwards once he saw what he did to Asuka.

Lucian: Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh MAKE IT STOP! MY HEAD! GYA! AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

Ikaruga: (What's going on?)

Lucian: GGGGAAAAAHHHH!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!! MY HEAD! THE VOICES MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP! RRRRRRAAAHHHH!!!!

I quickly kicked Lucian at the back of the head which seemed to have worked as he soon became unconscious. The doctor then injected Lucian with a tranquilizer.

Katsuragi: What happened?

Doctor: I don't know I left to get some water next thing I knew he was screaming at the top of his lungs.

Katsuragi: (I think I may know the answer to that...the memory that we saw it must've triggered a reaction when he woke up and that might just be the reason why he screamed and said make it stop.)

Hibari: Can we stay by his side?

Doctor: If it'll mean to calm him down then sure.

I placed Lucian back on the bed and we all kept watching over him. I could hear faint whimpers coming from him and it seemed like he was having a nightmare but the chances of us waking him up and he starts going wild again was something we couldn't risk. It was then Ikaruga held his left hand, and the whimpering stopped there was still traces of fear showing on his face but for the most part he's calmed down somewhat. Ikaruga then leaned close and whispered in his ear.

Ikaruga: It's okay we understand what you're going through right now so don't shoulder everything on your own okay? After all you made great friends so it's okay to tell us and we'll be there to help you.

The traces of fear soon left his face and he began to sleep peacefully.

Asuka: Looks like he's really calmed down now.

Katsuragi: Yeah. Still though I never anticipated he'd have that reaction.

Asuka: That reaction? What do you mean?

I realized that I said that out loud and immediately covered my mouth for my own mistake. Knowing Asuka or Hibari they would be pressing on to find out so it was better to tell them everything.

Katsuragi: That's the long and the short of it.

Asuka: I can't believe Lucian would do something like that when he was little.

Hibari: I know but he was possessed by that dark force I told you about so he couldn't resist it since it forced him to commit the murders.

Ikaruga: That's why it's important to not tell Hanzo or Kiriya about this because if they knew he would be kicked out of the team for committing such a crime.

Katsuragi: Now that I think about things carefully. I don't think we have anything to worry about.

Hibari: Why is that?

Katsuragi: Think about this very carefully if Lucian was kicked out of the team that would mean Sylvia could get her hands on him and do who knows what?

Asuka: That is true, so even if we told Kiriya-sensei or grandpa there shouldn't any problems because Lucian has two rare affinities and should they fall into the wrong hands well it will be a conundrum.

Ikaruga: Exactly.

???: I see so Amnael's influence affected him since he was a child how curious.

All of us were startled by the sudden response and from the infirmary stood Hanzo.

Asuka: Grandpa!

Hanzo: Sorry for eavesdropping but when I heard Lucian scream I decided to go and investigate however you girls beat me to it. I decided to see what you girls would do. Intentionally the plan was to go to bed once he was calm however once I heard Ikaruga's and Katsuragi's story about the memory they saw I knew it was serious. At the same time I grew curious how could Amnael's influence emerge when he was just a child? It normally occurs when the bearer of darkness turns 13 years old. So either two things have happened the influence emerged early or he encountered Sylvia before and she amplified the darkness. Also don't fret about him leaving the team if anyone should be leaving it's Yagyu.

Ikaruga & Katsuragi: What?!

Asuka: Huh?

Hibari: Yagyu leave the team why?

Hanzo: I saw what happened since Hibari started to improve herself Yagyu began to stare at Lucian with intense ferocity even during dinner she kept staring at him with hatred. It was soon then I noticed that Yagyu was on the rooftop with Lucian and she drove him to tears and to put an end to Hibari's improvement she "killed" Lucian. I tried to stop it but Lucian made a barrier surrounding them leading us to today's events now.

Girls: *gasp*

Hibari: Yagyu....just why?

Asuka: I can't believe it.

Ikaruga: It's not that hard to believe Asuka it would seem very logical.

Katsuragi: I hate to admit it but Ikaruga's got a point.

Asuka: So now what?

Hanzo: The answer lies within all of you, Yagyu needs to do something in order to gain back your trust so that you can forgive her, and if she can't then she's booted off the team but this is her last chance.

Hibari: Understood. But for Lucian what about him?

Hanzo: He'll be a very difficult obstacle to overcome seeing as how Yagyu decided to "kill" him. If he can find it in his heart to forgive her then Yagyu won't have to worry about being kicked off the team, of course she still has to make herself become forgivable to all of you as well.

Yagyu POV

It was useless no matter what I did I couldn't save either of them. They would die in many gruesome deaths and I decided to give up and accept this nightmare as reality. However for a brief moment I felt something warm radiate from inside me for some strange reason I felt love and happiness. A small smile formed in my face as I let this new feeling take over.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 OST: Mytyl

I opened my eyes and saw a white fog and soon a person appeared in the form of my sister and I accepted my fate of death by her own hands.

Yagyu's Sister: Yagyu.

Yagyu: I'm ready.

Yagyu's Sister: Are you sure?

Yagyu: Yes I'm ready to die with you my sister.

Yagyu's Sister: Die? It's not your time now to die, sister what you experienced was your worst fears coming to life because you couldn't let go of the past but now it's time to wipe those tears away. Hibari is still alive so don't worry about her dying but still sister please let me tell you this. Please find your own happiness and stop mulling over the past I may be gone physically but my spirit is still alive in your heart. You don't have to put on an eyepatch to cover the wound of the heart because all you're doing is setting yourself up for regret so please Yagyu it's time to move on. I want my sister to send me off with a big smile I'll always be watching over you so don't be sad. If you ever feel sad then speak with your friends they'll help you.

Yagyu:...

Yagyu's Sister: However there's one person that needs your help right now and he's hurting a lot not from what you just did but he's been suffering for a long time, so please don't make it any worse than it already is.

I noticed a faint light began to emerge from my younger sister.

Yagyu: Yes.

Yagyu's Sister: Now where's my big smile and hug?

I removed my eyepatch and opened my eye I embraced my younger sister in a hug and gave her the biggest smile I could muster the light forming around her began to shine brighter and I could slowly feel her fading away.

Yagyu: It's here...hehehe I'm going to miss you so much sister.

Yagyu's Sister: Me too *sniffle* remember Yagyu I'll always be watching over you. Please...be happy and here.

She took my hand and gave me a red ribbon.

Yagyu's Sister: Take care and don't cause any more pain for your friends. Make bonds that will last a lifetime cause your friends will definitely need it!

She then began to disappear and I woke up in the infirmary.

Yagyu: Mm...huh? Where am I?

I looked around and noticed a bed with Lucian on it.

Yagyu: Oh right I remember now I killed him but seeing as how he's breathing he's still alive thank goodness.

I got up and noticed that my left hand as holding something and it was the red ribbon my sister gave me.

Yagyu: That...was all real...sister you're always with me in my heart.

I looked in the mirror and I did what my sister told me to do.

Yagyu: It's time I wiped my tears away and I find my own happiness.

I removed the eyepatch and placed it in my pocket. I then proceeded to walk over to Lucian and apologize.

Yagyu: Lucian I...I'm sorry I'm so sorry for everything I've done. I know I don't deserve your forgiveness but when you wake up I hope you'll come to understand me better. I'm no longer the same Yagyu as I once was before I'm now a changed person.

All I got for a response was a light snore from him.

I then proceeded to head to the bathroom seeing as how the sun was beginning to rise. After I was done with that I bumped into Lucian in which I din't think he'd be awake that quick. I decided to talk to him to see if he would respond although with what I did to him I highly doubt it.

Yagyu: Good morning Lucian.

Lucian: Morning.

I didn't think he'd answer back after everything I put him through so I kept talking to him.

Yagyu: So how was your rest?

Lucian: Great I was lying in my own pool of blood thank you very much so how was yours?

His response took me aback and I quickly apologized to him.

Yagyu:...Oh...sorry about that.

Lucian: I don't want to hear your sorry excuse. Now get ready to report to class and don't be late. Although you could actually take your time fantasizing about Hibari. Do whatever it is the hell you want!

He then walked in angrily as I walked out regretting what I've done.

Yagyu: He must really hate me a lot.

I went back to my room put on my uniform and went to the classroom. I was greeted with stern faces from Hibari, Asuka, Ikaruga, & Katsuragi while Lucian was sitting in the corner of the room sitting with his arms crossed.

Yagyu: Good...morn...ing?

Asuka: We know what you did Yagyu.

Katsuragi: How could you do this to your own teammate?!

Hibari: I can't believe you! Why...why would you do this to Lucian!? Why....just why?

Yagyu: I-I-I can explain.

Ikaruga: Oh really then tell us then why would you kill Lucian?

Yagyu: *sigh* All right it was because Lucian was getting close to Hibari and I didn't want to lose her...I wanted her to remain the same as she was before. I...I wanted Hibari all yo myself so that no one can take her from me. Hibari I really like you a lot but when I heard that you only see me as a sister I snapped in my mind I swore that Lucian tainted you with his words, fed you his lies just so that you could be with him and the end result was that I took his life as payment because he tainted you Hibari. But seeing as how you're still alive I realized I made a grievous mistake and it's something I can't take back. I know that I won't be forgiven on the spot but I promise from this day forward I will change my actions!

Ikaruga:...

Asuka:...

Katsuragi:...

Lucian:...*sigh* Hibari what are your thoughts on this? I know how you feel but you may as well say what's in your heart.

Hibari:...Yagyu I know that you care about me a lot but at times when I want to try something new you won't let me. You look out for my safety like a sister and so that's what I thought about you. Lucian on the other hand sure he protects me but allows me to try new things and should I fail he encourages me to try harder or show me a new way to improve myself in which I was hoping you'd do but you never do. As for your apology it will take a lot more than sweets to make me forgive you.

Lucian: (Atta girl.)

Katsuragi: For me I say when Lucian forgives you then I'll forgive you because you made him go through a lot and with Lucian revealing the mental state that he was in before. I feel like I should be on board on kicking you out of the team and by kicking you out I literally mean using my foot to boot your ass out of here...but if you truly mean what you say then I'll give you one last chance however if you break it, I'll guarantee that you won't be able to sit down comfortably for a long while without feeling some backlash.

I saw Yagyu look down in guilt.

Yagyu:...

Ikaruga: With the way you are now I'd say that you are too dangerous for Hibari and the rest of us so it's best to for you to stay isolated and meditate that way you can have a clear head. All in favor say I.

Lucian: I.

Katsuragi: I

Asuka: I

Hibari: I

Yagyu:....I understand.

The day went on slowly and quietly none of us has said a word to each other or Yagyu after classes ended we had some time to relax for me I was headed to the roof of the school where I wanted to clear my head. I then began to think back on the memory that surfaced.

Lucian: (I know that what I did from back then can't be forgiven in fact I should be in juvie or in jail for what I did. But for some reason I can't remember anything after that...what did my parents do after that? What did the parents of those kids I killed do there's so much I don't understand and there's bound to be more killings of what I did back then that they all become a blur after the killing is done.)

I began to look out from the fence and see the entire city most of the buildings are in repair and while a few look to be complete on the outside there could be tons of damage on the inside.

Lucian: *sigh* Oh man it's one dilemma after another huh?

???: Indeed.

Lucian: !

I heard an unfamiliar voice and I quickly turned turned around to see a person wearing what appears to be a jester outfit.

???: How do you do my one man audience?

I quickly got into a battle stance.

Lucian: Who are you?

???: Ahahaha! Quick to defense I see...but fear not I have not come to harm you or your other fellow shinobis just yet.

Lucian: All the more reason I should take you down.

???: But can you really do it after all a shinobi like yourself shouldn't be trembling at the sight of another.

Lucian: What?

I looked at my hands and he was right my hands were shaking out of fear. I took a deep breath to calm myself down but the memory from before resurfaced making it hard to control my hands from shaking.

???: You love yet fear taking the life of another person.

Lucian: No I don't love taking the life of another person it's completely wrong.

???: Now tell me which of you is saying the truth?

Lucian: (Which of you?....!) You mean the other personality?! Well hate to break it to you but I'm not going to let it take me over!

???: Ho-hum what a stubborn kid you are. But of course you've haven't matured as of yet so that should be taken into account. You don't know whose side you should really be on, think about your choices and what you have done in the past plus not to mention the yoma seal you were given is a gift.

The minute I heard yoma seal I went full alert.

Lucian: So you're with that woman's group!

???: Whoops that was supposed to be kept a secret. But oh well who cares it's only a matter of time till you find your "true self." Also I take it that you don't know our great leader's name yet it's Sylvia. As for me I am called Jester so with that being said toodle-loo my one man audience.

Lucian: Hold it!

I ran to catch him but he exploded into confetti and streamers.

Lucian: Great more things to worry about, and about my true self...no...that murderous dark personality can't be my true self...right? Oh man this is so confusing! Am I really me or is that just a mask I put on myself to remove myself of all those bad memories temporarily.

I then went back to my room in order to sort things out. After two hours have passed I heard knocking at my door.

Lucian:...

I hesitantly grabbed a kunai and held it ready behind my back despite my hand shaking. I knew that if I let go of this kunai chances are I would die if Yagyu was on the other side. With the memory replaying things in my head and imagining different scenarios I decided it would be best to keep it.

Lucian: (Calm down and focus Yagyu could be waiting on the other side to kill me.)

Then my thoughts were dismissed when I heard Hibari's voice.

Hibari: Lucian are you in here?

Lucian: Yeah I am...! (Idiot why'd I give my position it must be Yagyu imitating Hibari's voice...okay stay calm and collected don't do anything unless she does something minute she does I'll kill...wait what am I saying now?)

As I kept thinking this over in my mind I failed to realize that Hibari made her way into my room and waited for me to notice her until she had enough.

Hibari: Um Lucian...

Lucian: ! Oh Hibari it's you...so uh what did you come here for.

Hibari: I wanted to ask if you can help me with my training and I want to develop a new technique of my own.

When I heard that Hibari wanted to make a new technique that piqued my interest.

Lucian: A new technique? What did you have in mind?

Hibari: I want to make long range lightning attacks and since you have a lightning affinity I wanted to ask if you could teach me a thing or two.

Lucian: Oh uh sure I can do that.

Hibari: So how long are you going to keep holding that kunai?

Lucian: Oh you're right I should put it away. (Well that's a screw up.) So you said you wanted to make a new technique right? In that case let's go to the bathroom.

Hibari: What for?

Lucian: Emergency precautions. We need a medical kit to help you out in case you get burned, cut, or need something to be cool off.

We went to the bathroom and I got the medical kit ready and I took Hibari up to the rooftop training her and trying to help her develop a new technique. After a couple of tries she sat on the ground.

Hibari: Huff...huff....I'm exhausted.

Lucian: Of course this is a new technique you've developed from scratch. So tell me what made you come up with this idea for a new technique?

Hibari: Well I started thinking about the way I fight what if I need a technique that deals with long range?

Lucian: So you're thought was to involve something with your lightning affinity if the opponent is far away...heh you're starting to get creative I like that.

When I said she was taken aback for a bit and I could've sworn her cheeks turned a bit red.

Hibari: Huh you do?

Lucian: Of course you're developing a new technique one that you would have to master yourself a technique to call your own. You've certainly become quite the adept shinobi.

She got happy when I said that and jumped in excitement.

Hibari: Really?!

Lucian: Mmhm because if you let creativity influence you a door of new possible jutsus will be unlocked all that requires is training and perseverance. All right that's enough of a break get back to it.

Hibari: Right...hm?

Lucian: Hm?

I turned back to see Yagyu behind us my right hand instinctively reached for the kunai in my pocket I only glared at her because I didn't know what she was going to do but strangely she smiled causing me to lose that glare instantly.

Yagyu: Hibari keep at it and don't give up.

She then gave a smile of confidence and replied earnestly.

Hibari: Okay!

However I was getting skeptical of Yagyu's new attitude of me training Hibari in normal circumstances she would've almost tried to kill me but so far she's not showing any signs of hostility.

Yagyu: Lucian...do you mind if I speak to you privately?

Lucian: Just say it out here I don't fully trust you yet.

She then lowered her head and her voice sounded sad.

Yagyu: I figured you'd say that after what I've done, and Lucian I...I'm sorry! I'm truly sorry for what I've done and I realize what I've been doing is wrong.

Lucian:...

She then lowered her head even further and her body began to twitch a little almost as if she trying to hold back the tears.

Yagyu: You are right I can't keep protecting Hibari forever I should let her get stronger and I'll let her find someone special to share...those emotions with...what I'm trying to say is you've opened up my mind. I understand everything now completely and what you said about Hibari and I is true all I've done is nothing but hold her back in which in turn held me back as well. I don't expect you to forgive me but please train Hibari to the best of your ability!

She then shed a tear in which Hibari immediately rushed to her and hugged her in her embrace.

Hibari: It's okay Yagyu Lucian's been training relentlessly he's also been helping me develop a new technique as well.

She then rose up and her eyes were puffy with tears still dripping however she gave a small smile at Hibari.

Yagyu: I see well keep at it.

Lucian:....(Okay who is this and what did they do to the real Yagyu...but in complete honesty I've never seen this side of Yagyu before I don't know whether to trust her or not most of what I'm feeling is a definite no but...maybe she has changed for the better. One way to find out.) Dry your tears it's so unlike you to be crying.

She wiped her tears away from her eyes and began to speak to me.

Yagyu:...Lucian do you mind if I trained with you as well?

I began to think in my mind what would be the best course of action.

Lucian: (I know I can take Yagyu down with ease but with this shaking in my hand I fear that I may lose control however Hibari here doesn't look like she has that weakness in her and it may be a great chance to try out that new jutsu on an actual opponent.) Very well your training begins now.

Hibari: Eeehhh? I thought you were training me?!

Lucian: I'll focus on you as well don't worry. Now Yagyu get into your shinobi outfit and come at me.

Yagyu: Huh? Are you sure?

Lucian: Grr...Don't make me repeat myself!

Yagyu: Y-yes understood.

She transformed into her shinobi outfit but again I'm put off by this weird behavior from Yagyu she's behaving entirely different she's becoming more what's the word..."open minded or indulgent I guess"? I don't know. She came at me with her umbrella in which I grabbed my kunai and parried her strikes then pushed her back with an air blast. I looked at my hand to see it was still shaking and held it with my right hand.

Lucian:...(The memory replaying back to that event and my hand shaking in fear won't stop it's annoying.)

Yagyu: Haah!

She quickly came at me again and try to hit me but like last time it failed causing me to push her back.

Lucian:...Use your ninja arts I'll allow it. (Not that it'll do you any good to be honest.)

Yagyu: No because I know what'll happen if I use them. You'll find a way to counter them all of them you see the weakness in my techniques.

Lucian: Of course every technique or jutsu has a weakness even my techniques have weaknesses for example my wind barrier it can deflect shurikens and kunais however if there's a consistent barrage then of course I'll have to spend chakra to keep the activation on. The spark barrier well...I haven't found any so far but it's bound to happen sooner or later.

Yagyu: I see...(I was once called a prodigy and I treated everyone like they were beneath me because their skills were lacking but here it's like I'm in front of a true prodigy...an actual shinobi genius. Although I would never say it to your face.)

I saw the way she keeps staring at me with her eyes as if she's entranced by me I felt creeped out by this so I called her attention.

Lucian: Yagyu...Oi! Will you stop staring at me like that and focus on your training?

Yagyu:...

Lucian:....

I flicked her forehead causing her to open her eyes and respond.

Yagyu: Yes! What happened?

Lucian: Snap out of it and focus. You're lacking in concentration that will get you killed...now Hibari ready?

Hibari: Mmhm!

She got into her fighting position and began to charge at me in which I blocked most of her strikes she then began to do feints in her attacks in which I had to say was very clever for her however it would work better if she was a bit faster in her strikes because from her last feint she's starting to become predictable in which she would aim for my face but would strike my stomach never thinking once that she can use her feet to disable me from kicking her. I then grabbed her arm and flipped her over me causing her to fall onto the ground.

Hibari: Ow! Ow, ow, ow....

Lucian: I will admit incorporating feints into your attacks is clever if I was to grade that on a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it a 4 at best. You have to be faster and less predictable in your strikes also you do realize you have feet to disable another person here's some advice move the opponent the way you would want thenm to move that way they play in your favor.

Hibari: How would I do that?

Lucian: All right you'll be on the defensive don't worry I won't strike you that bad.

Hibari: Okay then.

We got into our stances and I began to strike Hibari's face with my fist until she blocked it next I aimed straight for her stomach in which she blocked it again and I kept repeating the process until the tenth strike in which I struck at her right arm.

Lucian: So from that what were you doing?

Hibari: I was mainly blocking.

Lucian: Yes you were but you were also playing into my hand. I made you move the way I want you to that way I can exploit the weakness in your defense.

Hibari: That's really amazing Lucian.

Lucian: However that too comes with a risk, if an experienced brawler like Daidouji was fighting me she would make me think that I'm manipulating her the way I want her to but in reality she's manipulating me.

She looked at me and commented in amazement in what I said.

Hibari:....Wow there's so much to learn.

Lucian: Indeed.

I looked to my side and I would've assumed Yagyu was staring at Hibari but no in reality she was staring at me with a blank expression on her face.

Lucian:...(She keeps staring at me looks like she doesn't completely trust me yet.) All right that's enough training for one day. Let's head back all right Hibari and Yagyu.

Hibari: But I want to further develop my technique more.

Lucian: I admire your tenacity but rest is also important you've been at that new technique of yours for the past two hours now it's time to rest after all take a look at your hands.

Hibari: My hands?

She looked down and noticed there were some burn marks on the palms of her hands.

Lucian: If you keep doing that technique you're only burning chakra you won't develop anything. Give me your hands Hibari.

It was there Hibari got a bit flustered in which I took notice.

Hibari: O-Okay.

Lucian: Hibari I'm not gonna do anything that would make you get all flustered now give me your hands and I'll cool them off.

Yagyu:...

She then gave me her hands in which I gave her a cold rag and after I was done with that I applied the burn cream to help her cool off her hands.

Lucian: Can you still feel the chakra burns?

Hibari: Not as much as before thank you.

Lucian: All right then let's head back.

We went back to Hibari's room first and bid her goodnight. Along the way Yagyu was completely silent until she spoke up when she was near my door.

Yagyu: Um...Lucian?

Lucian: What is it?

Yagyu: I wanted to say I'm really sorry and you were right about me. I know I can't be forgiven for what I've done but please I just want you to know that I'm truly sorry.

Lucian: It's gonna take a lot more than sorry's to patch it up.

Yagyu: Then what do you want me to do? I-If you want I'll be your servant and I'll keep on serving you until I earn your forgiveness.

She looked at me with a serious expression when she said that.

Lucian: Huh? (Is this girl really serious?!)

Yagyu: So do you want me to serve you?

HOLY SNAP 12713 words! I'm ending it off with a cliffhanger so sorry that I put it out on Monday than the day I initially had it planned for but still it's finally complete! Holy snap did writer's block do a number on me. Thank you guys so much for waiting and reading the chapters I have a blast making them so until next time guys stay tuned.
