Stage 6 : ReMeMber mE?
It was a silent night, Tet watched over different races. He was pondering about....a lot of things. When he finally got back on the enormous chess piece he called home, he sensed a strange presence.
"Teto.....remember me?"
The voice was disfigured, it was obviously from a female but who it specifically belonged to, no one knew for sure.
"BOO!!!"
Kaira seemed to appear out of nowhere as she jumped towards the kid sized God with a hug. She was obviously taller than Tet so from a normal perspective, it was like a child bonding with her overly active older sister.
Tet stood still as the taller woman continued to hug him.
"Tet? Its me....Kaira...." she was a little confused to why he wasn't reacting the same way she was.
She slowly broke off the hug and squat down to the level of his face.
At that moment, for the first time in a very very very.....long time. He was speechless.
"Where.....have you been....after all these centuries.....?"
Was what he could barely produce from his mouth.
"I'm here now...am I not?"
She asked him with a gentle smile across her face.
......................
"Steph! Cookies!!!" Sora yelled as he pushed away a pile of books from his table.
He patiently waited for the red head to arrived as he looked onto his sister.
"Found anything?"
Shiro replied with a simple shake of her head. It's been a couple days since Kaira's departure and they've spent all their time on reading books, finding any information about their enemies.
It took a while for them to realize that the books they needed badly to learn were not in their grasps. The red haired girl had informed them how a certain God Killer has managed to take possession of said books.
"You should have told us sooner, baka!"
"But I thought you two were just lazing off!"
Steph tried to defend herself from the amount of insults concerning her intelligence but to no avail, and before she knew it, they were marching off to the library won over by the Flugel.
"What!? Are you two insane? That's a God Killer! From the old era, they've been known to wipe entire cities in their past time!"
Sora giggled at the red head's line, replying with a line one of his own:
"A long time ago is the era of the strong, where those who face against them will lose! But this will be the era of man! And those who face against us will lose.....so don't talk about destruction in an era where it has no use"
"Nii.....which anime did you get that line?"
"Umm.......what do you mean, oh sweet sister of mine...."
....................
It was an easy, predictable win, in courtesy of Blank. Without the silver head, things were a lot calmer that before, no weird illusions, no 'out of this world' events. While he hated to admit it, Sora actually missed the presence of Kaira.
"Nii, look...."
It was only about a week since they've defeated Jibril and they were actually wondering what happened to their mystery......friend?
They were confused if Kaira was someone to consider a friend. It was dead obvious that she acts very comfortable around them but they had wondered if she normally behaves that way around any person.
They've never been friends with anyone, this was one of the biggest weaknesses of Blank.
As Sora looked towards the end of his sister's pointed finger, he could see floating books littering the entire library.
This world had a lot of magical creatures, what they saw in the library that day was one of them. A pink haired angel floated in the middle of the library, books floated towards her and circled around her. Pages flew as she as she seems to be browsing every book swirling around her.
"Oi! Jibril! What's up?"
Sora shouted at the angel in an attempt to figure out the scene that was happening.
She did not respond....
Shiro starred at her, from a distance, while her brother was starting to be annoyed after calling her a couple more times and decided to do something to catch her attention.
He grabbed a chair to get on the same level as her, she was still ignoring him.
"Kyaaa!!!"
Jibril suddenly fell to the ground with a.......delighted moan....?
"Wait......what touched my wings......"
She worded out as she tried to remove the blush from her face.
Shiro walked under a tall table to shield herself from the falling books, she must have lost her control on them after she fell to the ground.
"JIBRIL........"
Sora's eyes were full of flames as he starred down at the collapsed angel.
"Shoot.....that's me....." She muttered, audible only to her and Sora who was barely able to hear the words she had said.
'Shoot'?
This word made Sora widen his eye for a moment, from that point on, he knew something was up, but what excactly was 'up' he will soon find out.
"Sooo.....JIBRIL...where are the books that me and Shiro had asked for?"
"I'm sorry, master, I was not able to find them as of now. I've been searching the entire library for it but I have failed to do so.'
She bowed at Sora who wasn't flinching at the sight of her apology.
"Well, nevermind that.....focus on finding the location of the people I've given you yesterday."
"Ahh! Yes, master!"
She seems to panic a bit as a glint in Sora's eyes had formed.
"Shiro! Now!!!"
Jibril was confused for a moment, it was a little late when she had realized that a little blue sailor suit wearing girl, had jumped towards her.
"Ahh!!! NO!!! PLEASE STOP!!!"
Jibril squealed as she fell to the ground, yet again.
"Master?! Does this please you?"
She gently asked as a deep red blush formed on her cheeks. Sora continued to walk around her, he seems hesitant about something.
"Your name.....tell me..."
A sharp gaze was let out by Sora as he looked at the confused girl.
"Masters!!! Stop her!"
Another Jibril came rushing in the room. The first Jibril looked irritated while the new one, the one that just came in, was in a state of panic.
Amidst the confusion, Blank didn't look confused even by a bit.
"Soo....are you going to tell us your name?"
The 'first' Jibril had her hands, legs and wings tied down, while being interrogated. They didn't want her to escape.
She looked down at the floor. She was obviously shy to reveal her name. Sora observed her for a few more moments before turning towards Jibril, the real one.
"Jibril...do you know who this is?"
Sora continued to examine the 'fake'. He was becoming more and more curious as to how she...or whoever was disguising as Jibril, managed to copy the deadly angel, in many ways that it was actually starting to become creepy.
The reason they found out its true identity was mere coincidence. They had conducted it so smoothly that one cannot believe at first that it was mere coincidence before hearing the story behind it.
"Kanukanaira, The Cheater....."
"Hahahaha! "The Cheater??" what kind of name is that?"
Sora howled in laughter due to the weird title.
"......Kanukaira was a being that was able to defy the rules of Tet, there has been many stories of how he had watched the war that wiped out the gods, alongside with Tet. He was dubbed 'The Cheater' for one main reason. He cheats almost every game he plays...."
"Hmm.....so this one here....can defy the rules of God? How exactly does he cheat?"
Sora emphasized on the word "he" as he glanced at the fake.
"Well.....I don't know exactly...but there was one story of how, in a game of chess, the 'right' moves that you can make were not available.."
"Not available?" Sora asked in a confused tone.
"It was as if the pieces were stuck to the board. The player can only lift those pieces whose moves are totally useless."
Silence filled the after Jibril's explanation.
"Aw......I didn't know you were a cheater, Kaira"
Shiro stated in an emotionless voice as she continued to softly caress her wings.
Kaira looked at the siblings, a red blush slowly forming on her face.
"Cheater"
A name she usually bragged in front of Tet and other divine beings.....but for now, she was very embarrassed about it. Maybe she didn't want to let her two friends to know that she's a cheater.
Friends.....
Maybe they only thought of her as an annoyance, probably.......probably not....who knows?
As she lied down on the cold hard floor, she was snapped back into reality by Sora.
"Kaira.........I ask you, why are you here? Give me a full detailed explanation, skip nothing and don't hide anything from us."
"You lost.......remember?"
The small girl reminded her.
With a sour look on her face, she slowly explained:
"Well.......I was searching for a small book I lost a long time ago, Tet told me that I'd find it here...."
"Huh? that's all? That was a waste of question......Well Jibril, you can go help her find it."
"Yes, masters...."
As Sora and Shiro walked out the library, Jibril looked at Kaira with a penetrating glare, although it made Kaira giggle, regarding it as "cute".
"*sigh* Since it was the masters' order, I should help you. May I know what the title of the book you are looking for?"
A/N
I've restored the revision. I guess it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be.
If you didn't see my previous note.....don't mind this...
