"Uhm...hehe this is Devil and uh.." Matsuri paused and looked at the shadow
"What are you looking at me for?" Devil asked
"Because I don't know if you're a girl or boy. I can't tell by your voice either. It's demonic so..." Matsuri said and the shadow just hissed
"What the hell!? I'm a female! Do you think the queen allows assholes around her?!" Devil exclaimed
"Jeez sorry I just didn't know. Besides...you really never introduced yourself to me properly" Matsuri said
"Hm? You are right. But it's not my fault I lost my memory back then..." Devil said
"Yeah yeah no be respectful and get back inside. You're scaring everyone" Matsuri said. The shadow just looked at Yuzu and Mei one last time before vanishing entering inside Matsuri's body
"Wh-what was that? Or who was that?" Harumin asked
"I-it's someone who saved my life. If it weren't for her I would've actually died. That shadow...is my savior. Hehe but she's annoying too" Matsuri said as she smiled
"A-and what does that shadow have to do with you?" Harumin asked
"W-well lately I've been feeling a bit of pain over my body that I feel like I won't be able to control this shadow thing" Matsuri said
"Is that why you left back there?" Harumin asked
"Y-yeah pretty much. I started to feel sick..." Matsuri said and laid her head down on her lap. Harumin stroked her hair softly and looked down at her
"And what about that kiss with your friend?" Harumin asked
"The kiss? Oh...well she ended up confessing and suddenly kissed me. I tried to push her away and that's when you came in..." Matsuri said. Harumin played with her hair and pulled it back making her look up at her
"Now that I know...I won't let you go alone. This time wherever you go I'm going with you" Harumin said and gave her a small kiss. Matsuri blushed deeply and trembled a bit. She pulled away and gave her a gentle hit on her head
"Still...I won't forgive you that easily" Harumin said
"Yeah I know" Matsuri said and stood up. Harumin wrapped her arms around her and made her sit on her lap
"Anyways Matsuri what was that about? That shadow person?" Yuzu asked
"Oh you mean Devil. Well...I first met her when I was about to die. She entered my body and it took a while to heal me. Once I was completely healed I decided to explore around for a bit and discovered my powers. That's when I started to use them and practiced to control it but now...I don't seem to be in control anymore" Matsuri said as she looked at her hands
"And how come that shadow was about to go after Mei? Does it know me or something?" Yuzu asked
"I-I suppose so because she told me that she's the Royal Guard of the Okogi queen. She was created by the queen and well...that's all that she told me but I have a feeling she knows more. I guess she doesn't remember at all...." Matsuri said and leaned back against Harumin
"Hm? Well...Matsuri is okay if we talk upstairs...alone. There is something I must talk to you about..." Yuzu said
"Hm? Oh okay" Matsuri said and got off of Harumin's lap. Yuzu guided Matsuri upstairs and into her room. Mei just walked to the couch and sat down letting out a sigh
"Is everything okay Aihara-san?" Harumin asked. Mei just kept looking down and clenched her fists tightly
"Something happened in the bathroom...I know something happened. I heard Yuzu talking to someone...but she won't tell me" Mei said
"I heard nothing" Harumin said
"What? Didn't you hear her at all?" Mei asked
"N-no I didn't hear anything. I just thought you were out of your mind or something" Harumin said
"Th-then if you heard nothing then how was I able to hear her?" Mei asked
"I'm not so sure...maybe it had something to do with the powers" Harumin said. Mei just kept looking down and remembered the shadow
"And that shadow thing...it went after me and she knows the Okogi queen" Mei said and thought for a moment
Why did it try to attack me? Is it because I'm an Aihara?

"So what? Now that bitchy queen is after you or something?" Matsuri asked
"That person is still living inside me...but it never really spoke to me" Yuzu said
"You know...whenever I'm around Harumin and I see her with someone else my feelings start to go crazy. It feels weird and all but...I'm starting to think since Devil is inside me and is part of me now...I'm getting a feeling that these feelings I feel for Harumin are the feelings she felt for the queen" Matsuri said
"So you're saying the first queen was dating a shadow?" Yuzu asked
"We were friends only" Devil said as she hissed
"But you're a shadow. Was she so lonely that she ended up creating a shadow as her lover's replacement?" Matsuri asked
"Shut up! Don't talk like that" Devil hissed
"Okay okay sorry" Matsuri said
"Hey Devil mind talk more about the queen? I need to know more about her" Yuzu said
"Hehe well...if you want to know. The Queen loved that Aihara with all her heart. She was really nice and sweet around her. Many people were jealous of their relationship. The queen Yuzik was very beautiful and kind. Her smile warmed up many people's heart. On the other hand you had that Aihara who was very strict and cold but had a sweet spot for her beloved Okogi. The two of them loved each other so much that they never left their side...not until that night. That night turned into a nightmare for Yuzik..." Devil said and growled
"What happened to her?" Yuzu asked
"Do you really want to know? If I tell you now...then you'll realize something" Devil said
"Stop playing games and just tell me already!" Yuzu said raising her voice. Devil just looked at her and chuckled softly
"That Aihara ended up bumping into the Taniguchi...Hamalie Taniguchi. What the Aihara did disgusted me...they ended up falling for each other and kissed each other. Made love...had sex...and guess what? Yuzik watched everything...every detail...every moment...heard their moans. Saw literally everything..." Devil said and laughed softly
"Wh-what? What happened n-next?" Yuzu asked
"Do you want to know?" Devil asked and smirked
"Yes...I-I want to know" Yuzu said
"Yuzu-chan I think it's best to just leave it at that or else...something is going to happen. I have a feeling something will happen..." Matsuri said and walked up to her. Yuzu looked down and clenched her fists tightly
"No...I need to know. I must know...I have to know. Please Devil...keep going and tell me everything..." Yuzu said
"Yuzik...kidnapped that Aihara and fucked her up. Torturing her in a dark room where no one could've helped the poor Aihara...not until that other witch came in. She took us out and destroyed our paradise keeping us locked up...but Yuzik wasn't going down that easily. She knew that she would be back...she would be brought back by you since that Aihara broke your heart" Devil explained and smirked
"N-no! But my heart isn't broken anymore! I'm healed!" Yuzu said
"But a bit of that dark magic leaked from your broken heart giving Yuzik enough power to be awaken anytime" Devil said. Yuzu just looked down and thought for a moment
"Why of course we...if I am you and all these people are your friends then of course I have friends. Like Miaseakuu..."
This bitch is lying...if she said she knows nothing then...that means she must be her friend
"Hey you...are you fucking lying? If you said you know nothing then how come you remember that and most importantly...I have a feeling you are someone really close to her" Yuzu said. The shadow just kept looking at her and chuckled softly
"So...it seems I've been discovered?" Devil said and smiled
"You're not just the queen's guard but her closest friend...right Miaseakuu?" Yuzu asked. Miaseakuu's eyes glowed and giggled
"You're a smart one..." Miaseakuu said
"What really happened to you?" Matsuri asked. Miaseakuu looked at her and looked down
"That bitch..." Miaseakuu mumbled
Flashback
Lady Liana possessed a powerful power that she activated within her. Yuzik just stood there and activated her powers but not to save herself but her friends. Yuzik just had tears rolling down her cheeks but smiled brightly at her two friends
"Thanks guys for being by my side but...it seems our fun is over" Yuzik said
"B-but cuz! We can't leave you here!" Her cousin exclaimed
"Yeah! We'll stay and fight by your side!" Miaseakuu shouted. Yuzik just smiled and activated her powers. The aura surrounded both her friends and began to vanish
"W-wait! Cuz!" Her cousin shouted
"N-no...no! Onee-chan! Don't!" Miaseakuu cried
"Don't worry friends. This isn't the end for us. We'll meet each other soon. Thank you" Yuzik said and Lady Liana released her powers. Yuzik just stood there and clenched the ring she held in her hand. Tears rolled down her cheeks and looked down at the ring that her lover gave her
"M-min...Min...even if you broke my heart...I-I'm sorry...I love you..." Yuzik whispered before she got attacked and her entire castle got destroyed. Miaseakuu ended in someplace else where it was dark. She gasped and woke up. She looked around and trembled realizing she had no body but was a simple shadow. She whimpered as tears rolled down her cheeks and trembled
"If only my Onee-chans were still here...I-I just wish they could embrace me and hold me in their arms...why did everything have to turn out like this?" Miaseakuu asked
End Of Flashback
Matsuri trembled and felt the shadow surrounding her body
"W-wait...then the main reason you chose me w-was because..." Matsuri mumbled and trembled as she clenched her fists tightly
"That's right...because you're me" Miaseakuu whispered as she let out a giggle
"Then that must mean...the feelings I'm feeling for Harumin must be how you felt a-about her" Matsuri said
"Correct" Miaseakuu said and chuckled softly
"Then that must mean there must be a third person...right? Because if you are Matsuri then Yuzik must have a relative" Yuzu said
"Now you're getting it. Hehe...you're really smart. Just like Yuzik..." Miaseakuu said
"Miaseakuu...I need to know something else. Now that I know you're me...tell me...what about...Onee-chan?" Matsuri asked. Miaseakuu stayed silent and that's when the shadow form ended up turning into a human figure. Miaseakuu looked up at Matsuri with tears rolling down her face
"Why care for them if they never cared for you? Hah...Hamalie and Malori were my entire world...not until that slut came along. I still remember how that bitch just left me alone..." Miaseakuu said
"Sh-she left?" Matsuri asked
"Yes...she did...hahaha...she always said a simple sorry won't do and now that she begs for forgiveness she expects me to forgive her? Ha! She thinks I'm a pathetic bitch! Hahaha! She's so fucking hilarious if she thinks I'll forgive her..." Miaseakuu said and growled
"Harumin wouldn't leave me...you're wrong. Dead wrong..." Matsuri said
"Awww you still won't believe me? Hehe well I expected that from you" Miaseakuu said and giggled
"Hey...Miaseakuu. Where is she?" Yuzu asked
"Hm? Where is who?" Miaseakuu asked
"You know who I am talking about so speak up..." Yuzu said sternly. Miaseakuu just sat down and sighed
"Heh...you're talking about your cousin right?" Miaseakuu asked
"Of course...since you said that Yuzik has a relative so tell me. Where is she? Is she out in the world?" Yuzik asked. Miaseakuu just looked down and looked up with a smirk
"Little Shiz is out and ready to play..." Miaseakuu whispered
