"Brother Meliodas!" I heard a girl's voice. A voice, that sounds familliar. So familliar, yet I couldn't figure out who it belongs to. I turned my head to see the owner of the voice.

It was a girl, which wasn't suprising. She had black long hair, beautiful dark purple eyes. She was wearing a loose short-sleeved black shirt and a leather jacket with no sleeves along with her white pants and a black belt.

"Kuro. What are you doing here?" I asked with a stern voice. She was supposed to be in the Demon's world, was she not? (A/N : The timeline is after they found Ban and Harlequin and Diane, after the whole fight with Geera)

"I wanted to see you!" She said cheerfully. It seemed like talking to her brought Elizabeth's attention, because she then made her way and asked me,  "Who is she?"

I was about to talk, yet she interrupted me, leaving my mouth slightly agape.

"Liz! I missed you so much! Do you remember me? I won't be mad, I mean you rein-" She then was interrupred. By me.

"Kuro. Shut up." I requested, more like demanded, anger could be found clearly in my voice.

She stared at me menacingly as she closed her mouth and sulked, clicking her tongue at the end. "I am rein?" Elizabeth questioned Kuro's words, her face clearly showed her state of confusion.

"Nothing to mind about~ Now. Let me introduce her. She is my little sister, also known as Kuro. Her other identity is---- Dun dun dunn The Cat's Sin of Fear!" I said in my cheery voice towards Elizabeth.

"Wait- First of all. You had a sister!? Second of all, There is only 7 deadly sins, I believe? Since when was there 8?" She asked.

"Yes I have a sister, is that so unbeliavable" I said and laughed to then continue, "She didn't want to let anyone other than me and the King to know."

"But now I guess that was thrown out the window by my brother, Ahaha" She said and laughed at the end.

"There was no use of hiding it anyways, plus I would be needing you to fight with me to save the kingdom."

"Are you really making your own sister risk their lives for you?" Kuro said, her eyes was teary and she seemed very sorrowful. But I already know, that was all fake.

"And.. to think I was hoping for a happy reunion and for you to finally care about me.." She quietly said. Some droplets of tears slowly fell from her eyes. No, I am pretty sure she didn't come back for that.

"Kuro. We are siblings, I know what you are trying to do." I said as I glared at her.

"What do you mean?" Kuro sobs even more as she pulled on his sleeves. Her sobs finally took the public's attention.

"You are trying to ruin my life here, aren't you?" Meliodas accused Kuro.

"Meliodas! That person is your sister." Elizabeth said. Kuro cried even louder, bringing even more attention and pity stares was thrown at her.

"Why do you think so? Am I really such a burden.. Brother?" She said, while hiccuping and sobbing.

Elizabeth hugged her. "You are not a burden. Don't think so lowly of yourself" She whispered as she stroke Kuro's head gently.

Meliodas broke them apart as he held up Kuro's hand tightly, expecting a weapon, yet there was nothing. "Brother.. brother.. I am sorry for whatever I did to you. It hurts. Brother. Please let go." Kuro tried to pull away from Meliodas's grip as she cried louder and begged for forgiveness.

The public booed Meliodas,  an innocent naive kid couldn't bare to see the young girl cry and beg, he cried as well looking at it as he tackled Meliodas's torso. Adults started to take action by calling the knights. Some was even trying to pull Meliodas away from Kuro. But, his grip was strong and held on.

"You were about to hurt Elizabeth. I couldn't allow that to happ-" Meliodas said but was cut off by an emotional Elizabeth.

"Meliodas! She is your sister! Don't accuse her of such things" Elizabeth said loudly. All the loudness caught also some members of the Deadly Sins' attention. Ban and King was at the kitchen but went to the direction of the loud noises to check what was going on.

They arrived at a sight of a girl crying, her hand was getting abnormally pale with the blood circulation blocked by Meliodas's grip. Atleast that was what King noticed. Ban just saw Meliodas gripping a girl's arm tightly, as he put distance with the others. It was as if the girl was dangerous.

"Captain, her hand. You should let go of it... it's getting paler" King adviced and Meliodas didn't obey, he just loosens the grip a bit.

"Captain. Really. Just let her go. What did she even do to you?" King said once more. Meliodas still didnt listen. He could still see her hand wasn't getting much better and her sobs definetely aren't getting calmer.

"Meliodas, stop" Elizabeth said and grabbed Meliodas's hand and pulls it as strong as she could. "Look at your sister, look how much pain she is in." The crowd cheering for Elizabeth. Meliodas couldn't help but take a peek, and the sight just crushes his heart. Though it could be an act, he let his grip loose and off. The crowd lets out a big cheer and their vision focused to the girl, to see what condition she is in.

Kuro's sobs was getting calmer. "I am sorry. I won't visit you anymore. I won't go near you.." She said and rubbed over the part of her hand that was grabbed.

"I am sorry, I knew you hate me. But I still come to you" Kuro said. Elizabeth pulled Kuro to another embrace as she wiped Kuro's tears with her napkin. "He couldn't have possibly hated you! I mean, it must have been a misunderstanding." She whispered to calm Kuro down.

"Re-really. He doesn't hate me?" Kuro said in a quiet voice but loud enough for those around to hear.

"He doesn't. Now come on, Let's apply some medicine to your hand first, then we can talk more peacefully upstairs." She said as she gave a smile.

"O-okay." Kuro said as Elizabeth guided her upstairs.

"King, Ban follow them. Keep a close eye to Kuro" Meliodas ordered.

A minute was all it took for them to go up the stairs. They went inside a room with a bed.

Kuro sat on the bed in silence. Well, Kuro was sniffling and hiccuping. Elizabeth walked to a cabinet where they store herb ointment. Elizabeth grabbed it and walked to where Kuro is. Elizabeth then applied the ointment gently, the coldness mad Kuro flinched at the start, but she didn't struggle.

Kuro suddenly sobs again midway, making Elizabeth, and also the spectators behind of the door confused.

"Liz... Do you hate me now? I mean I was such a burden and I even gave you trouble. I am such a crybaby as well and-" Kuro rambled on and she clutched to Elizabeth's skirt.

Elizabeth shushed her pat her head, "I don't hate you!"

"Then... then.. Liz.. Can I?" Kuro said but hesitated and she retreated her question as she ducked her head down.

"What is i-" Elizabeth's stomach was suddenly sliced by a small dagger held by Kuro. Elizabeth screamed in pain as she turned around and pressed on her wound, so no more blood comes out. Afterwards, she asked, "Can I cut you?" And laughed, "Was that a no? Whoops- sorry my hand slipped." 

The scream was incredibly loud and continuous,  people downstairs could hear it. Meliodas definetely did, the two guys on the door also did. They barged in and Ban immediately supported Liz up. King searched for bandages and medicine. Meliodas very soon afterwards arrived and glared at Liz. While Kuro just smirked and said "Adios" as she left the boar hat, she also mouthed something that shocked Meliodas to the core.

"DIS-GUS-TING" Was what she mouthed. Over the years, Kuro had became even more desperate for his pain, as well as bolder with her actions.

Elizabeth survived. Thank god they brought a doctor in time. She hasn't lost much blood yet. And fortunately, The wound wasn't deep enough to cause scars nor internal damage. And the wound was also relatively little. It was just there was actually poison on the weapon that makes the affected feel excruciating pain.

"Captain. Who the hell is she? And why did she do this to Elizabeth?" The curious king asked.

"The 8th sin. My sister, named Kuro" Meliodas answered listlessly, the event from before seemed to have took a lot of mental energy from Meliodas.

"She is a really mischevious one. Don't blame her though. It was my fault she turned that way." Meliodas said as he gazed at the sun setting. It was a tiring day indeed.

My fault.
