5 A Game and A Promise

Kuoh Park

Chess Tournament

Sona Shitori (Sitri)

This city is restively peaceful, I enjoy the atmosphere especially this park where over 100 people across the city are gathered to play the gentleman's game chess. Oh wait im a woman fufufu. I've never lost a game of chess ever sense I used the game to get out of my arranged marriage. In the devil society the population is dwindling fast due to all the inter and external faction fighting. It sucks but at least I get a break for a few years.

The day is going good until I hear some woman screaming "IMPOSSIBLE I TOTALLY HAD YOU, WHEN DID YOU PUT THAT PIECE THERE! CHEATER!" Naturally my eyes follow the rowdy voice and I see a rambunctious blonde arguing with a stoic black haired youth . Hmmm interesting he feels, warm and safe, yet I don't feel any magic or anything coming from him that also sends my natural senses to the 11 that he's dangerous. Maybe he's one of those Wuxia young master's since he has two busty maids with him in a public park.

"Ma'am this is an official tournament and there's a judge right next to me. Plus I have confidence in my skill to beat you soooo." Stated the young boy. I could feel her anger radiating off of her but before anyone could interrupt she throws the whole board in his face, startling everyone.

Quickly moving my Queen to A-6 I cut off my opponent's final escape route before saying "Checkmate" and walking off. For some reasons my legs carry me over to the young man picking up chess pieces as his maids search for the fallen pawns.

I slowly bend down tucking my skirt in the fold of my knees like a proper lady as I reach out for a piece. However at that exact moment he turned around reaching for the same piece as our hands touch. I jerk my arm away quickly but for some reason I can feel my body heating up. What's wrong with me?

"I'm sorry I didn't know you were behind me" he apologizes.

"No it's my fault I should have made myself known before getting behind you. Sona, Sona Shitori."

"Hibari Kyouya. It's great to meet you Sona-san as much as I'd like to spend time with a beauty such as yourself I do believe that our match is next so you should steel yourself I wont take it easy, just because your cute."

I raise an eyebrow at that one as I stifle a laugh "Very well then Hibari-san I shall bring my very all and I hope you don't disappoint with all that big speaking."

"Oh Ms. Shitori I never fail to impress." He states as he walks away. Peculiar. Very peculiar indeed, almost familiar. Nevermind I have to get focused. I narrow my eyes at his departing figure and I smile. Hibari Kyouya, please don't disappoint me.

"Oh? She looks like she's going to take this one seriously? I should get my camera ready!!"

The Ultimate Enigma

The Woman with 1000 faces

Dedicated Maid

Watching this game between Master and the girl in glasses I can't help but be impressed that she's actually keeping up with him and it seems to be like, she's winning. Every move he makes every play he tries, she cuts him off or even takes his pieces.

I clench my fist tightly wondering if I can allow her to live if she disgraces Kyouya-sama. Lupis is still just grinning spacing out thinking of her 'reward' later. Tch. Lucky Dog. This game is very interesting though. Oh did something interesting just happen? The glasses girl looks shocked? I knew my master was Amazing.

"How…. When did you place me into this trap?" Ha silly girl you still cant comprehend the greatness that is Master-sama!

"Since the beginning" he smoothly states and he moves a bishop across the board taking her remaining knight. She calms down a little as she moves her queen to start setting up an stronger defense but its too late because Master has officially gotten a pawn into the back row so now he has two queens running around the board cleaning up the glasses girls' act.

"Haaaa Master is so amazing." I sigh thinking out loud

"I know right, he always has everything moving exactly how he wants it too. Even when she didn't even realize he had her trapped since the 5th round" I stand there in shock looking at Lupis "What im not stupid ya know?"

"No its not that, its just im jealous. How come its you who got to receive Master's love next. Shouldn't it have been Aureole or Yuri next?" I ponder out loud

"Naaa Master does who he wants when he wants. He probably only agreed to me since I was so bold about it. Since its technically my fault I stole him today why don't you come join us later? It'll be fun!" she teases

No…could i….should i….i don't know….maybe I should though? Solution has clearly been enjoying herself the past few days so maybe I should join Lupis tonight after all he beat Sol in 24 minutes and then kept going for an hour.

"Uhhh…maybe I will jo-"

"Checkmate." As soon as I heard those words I looked back at HIS back and my face expressed my joy. My master is the best. I should help Lupis Reward him tonight. Yup definitely have to do my duty as his loyal maid.

Sona Sitri

Chess Extraordinaire

14860 W ….. 2 Losses

…What just happened? Did I just lose? NO! impossible, but …..how? This cunning bastard he played me from the beginning. I look over and see Tsubaki's shocked face. Knowing exactly what this loss means.

"Miss Shitori you should probably close your mouth, I'd hate for those beautiful lips of yours to dry out." This man still had the gall to tease me. Looking at him I notice his charming smile and all the anger I should feel is instantly replaced by this warm feeling of peace. I look at him as he slowly stretches out his hands toward me, I cant help but flinch as if he knew what this game meant and he was about to claim me as his prize. "Well Ms. Shitori I hope we meet again, and until then im keeping this king piece, one day lets meet again. Who knows you might be able to take it back."

The cocky bastard dares to tease me. UGH I should be angry but that cheeky smile, its taking every ounce of self control to not scream or retaliate, so I simply nod my head collect my chess set and walk away. Forever one piece lighter.

"Are you okay Sona? You loss you know that means he's"

"NO!" I stomp my foot "He's just human besides he as well promised to have a rematch to take back my king piece. I wont lose next time. Lets go Tsubaki!" I briskly walk ahead of her so she doesn't notice my flushed face or the small smile on my face.

???????? POV

"OHHHHH He beat her??? That's Interesting hehehehe, I didn't know you could make such a cute face So-tan!" exclaimed the bubbly magical girl in a Sailor Moon T-shirt and glasses as a disguise to take photos of her little sister. "Now i should meet my future brother in law <3 hehe So-tan don't worry Big sis will make sure your first crush goes 100% smoothly!" As she opens a teleportation portal heading back to her house in the underworld, not caring that she just caught the attention of a certain group of a Wuxia young master and his two busty maids.
