[[24.Break The Chains To Kill!]]

[[Kurome's POV]]

Having had 20 bowls of soup, I was finally full. Throughout the time I was eating, I, surprisingly after all the training I received, all the conditioning I put myself into, through everything I did to banish my emotions, felt happy as we talked.

However, after eating, it was finally to talk about the scythe and how lucky I was. So, having set the bowl away, I prepared myself to know more about the scythe, about Derierei, and about how "lucky" I was.

"You said that you'd say everything after I eat. Well...." I trailed off, gesturing at the empty bowl. I didn't mean to be rude, but I couldn't help but want to know more. To distract myself from my onee-sama's betrayal.

"Yeah yeah. Anyway, you first. You're a v'ry lucky gal, know why? You don't, right? Well, let meh tell you. Yer lucky, because yer compatible with the scythe." As she talked, she added the wooden bowl in the fire, and remained smiling at me.

A bit confused, I asked, "'Compatible with the Scythe?' Is it a Teigu?"

I had heard there was a scythe-type Teigu, but it was one of the lost Teigu's. 'Was this it?' I thought to myself as I eyed the beautiful scythe. However, I was brought out if my stupor when Derierei had suddenly laughed!

"Hahahahaha! That's too funny! Haha! N-no, the scythe, Ricky's better than any 'ol Teigu!"

Once again, I was confused, both at the scythe's name and how it was better than a Teigu. Making something better than a Teigu was impossible, since it was made with magic. There was an attempt to make something better than Teigu's, the Shingu's, and they only ended to be inferior to the Teigu's.

"Ya don't believe? Understandable. But it truly is better than your Teigu's, because this is what the first Emperor used to make the Teigu's." Hearing this, I was both in disbelief and in denial. But I had to keep calm, to not feel any emotions, something that I kept failing to do since earlier.

Fortunately enough, I was able to calm down and think carefully. Derierei had proven that she was a "ghost", although I still have me apprehensions, it could also mean if she's this confident with what she is saying, then she could either prove that what she had said was real, or be proven as a fake.

"Well, first things first, hold the scythe. It's not a Teigu, so your Teigu shouldn't repell you from it. Actually, your Teigu should be afraid of it." Listening to her once more, I was able to confirm that Yatsufusa °did° feel afraid! Afraid of the scythe! I didn't notice it earlier because I was worrying how weak I was, eating, and it wasn't strapped to me.

Then, looking back at the scythe, I couldn't help but worry a bit. However, in the end, I stood up and slowly walked up to it. I passed Derierei, who was watching on with amusement, I passed the campfire, and finally, I reached the scythe. I raised my hand, and even though I was hesitant, I slowly inched my hand towards it.

And as I was close, I stopped to say, "If this is a trap, I'll kill you." Even when she saved me, even when she spoke with genuine emotions, everything could still be a trick. However, Derierei just laughed at my threat. Not feeling threatened at all.

So, finally, I came into contact with the scythe's handle, and I suddenly felt...something I couldn't explain! It felt, exhilarating, but also...burdening, something that made me feel like I had weights on my shoulders.

Then, suddenly, something appeared in front of me, surprising me, but it would have been disgusting of me if I flinched from it. {{'Defiance System' is now active. Welcome, Host.}}

Something, a floating transparent thing appeared in front of me, and on it were words I was able to understand. But I didn't understand what it meant.

"Ya see the holo-screen? The floaty thing with words in 'em?" I heard Derierei behind me, and being too focused on this...holo-screen, I just nodded.

"Means that you're compatible with it, like the First Emperor had, and can do many things with it." Then, after that, she began to explain everything about this System, the scythe, and herself.

__/__/__/

I stayed silent for the moment, digesting what I had just found out. The System was a mystical thing, something that allowed the host to make miracles and make impossible feats, possible, like how the first Emperor was able to make the Teigus.

And, apparently, Derierei is the scythe's personification, which meant, she was the scythe itself, but she still considers herself to be a different entity from the scythe, and that's why she named herself Derierei while the scythe was Ricky. Also, only the ones worthy to wield the scythe was able to see her, and feel her, so if I hadn't reacted to the feel of her thighs and her beauty -to which I blushed to in admission-, then she would have just left me in the cave. But, since she felt something in me that made her stay, she decided to follow her instincts and stay.

So, all in all, I now wield the weapon that brings miracles, the one used to make the Teigus, and can now do many unimaginable things with it. And not only that, but Derierei boldly claimed that, by extention, that I own her too -to which I had blushed to, once again, and assumed-, so she could easily teach me how to properly use the scythe and lead me. Also, Derierei had mentioned that she had been asleep since Ricky was used to create the Teigus, so she didn't know much about the present world.

"Now, say 'Status', or just think it. It would work either way." Deirerei instructed while I lay on her thighs, once again -they're really soft-, since I just felt so weak.

As soon as I thought about 'Status', this holo-screen, as Derierei said, appeared in front of me. It was surprising, but I soon got over it, like always, and began to carefully scrutinize it.

__/__/__/

It was a bit confusing, but I was able to understand the Status more. And as it turns out, due to my body being doped by the drugs, my body adapted to the strength the drugs gave me. But, with the drugs now out of my system, I became "weakened". Though, to remedy the problem, Derierei said that I had to either get back to that point by constantly moving forward in strength, or use the Status points, which not only instantly gave me power, but was better than any alternatives for strengthening in general.

So, I instantly used all my Satus points and I immediately felt its effects as I didn't feel weak anymore! Not only that, but I felt even better than I have ever did before!

"Feelin' great?" Derierei asked from above me, peering down at me as I continue to lay on her thighs. It was very comfortable.

"Yes. I feel...better." I confessed as I assessed my current strength by waving my hands in front of me, feeling how....smoother? my movements were.

"Good. 'Cause we gotta start moving. The Empire dogs're getting close." Hearing what she said, I immediately sat up, remembering about how I was sent on a mission to retrieve my onee-sama, and I haven't reported back since then.

"I need to-" I was about to hurry and go back to the Empire, to explain to the Emperor why I hadn't immediately come back, but Derierei held my shoulder, and I somehow felt a bit calmer.

"Sorry tah tell yah this, but ya ain't goin' back to that disgusting place." Hearing how she talked badly about the Empire, I wanted to reprimand her, but her grip on my shoulder got tighter.

"The Empire's shit right now, Kurome. And I know you won't believe what I said, nor what your sisters said, due to all the brain washing and conditioning, so let me help you out a bit. It's gonna hurt, but it'll be worth it."

Before I knew it, Derierei placed both her hands onto my temples, and I blacked out.

__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/[[Kurome's POV]]

I didn't know for how long I was out for, but once I opened my eyes, escaping from the nightmare I came to know as the Truth, I noticed that we weren't in the cave anymore. For a while, I just rested my head against Derierei's chest, well, I thought I was.

For the time being, I calmed myself. The nightmare, the truth, that I experienced took a toll on me. From the memories I suppressed since joining the Empire, the memories that °they° made sure to forget, the memories they implanted in me, I was able to get to see them all, able to relieve them all. All of the pain, all of the torture, the heartache, the lies, I know them all.

And I knew Derierei knew I was awake, but she kept quiet and said nothing, which I was glad for. I wasn't prepared to talk yet. So, for the time being, we kept silent as Derierei continued to carry me to wherever.

However, later on, I finally spoke up. "Where are we going to?" I asked, then I felt Derierei shift a bit before she answered.

"We're heading north to make camp there. The Empire doesn't have much of a hand there, so it would be a good place to start in." Derierei explained as she continued to carry me. I felt that I was able to walk properly, but I didn't want to leave Derierei's embrace. So, in a rare moment of letting my emotions control me, I decided to be selfish and just stayed in place, feeling a little bit warmer in the inside from feeling safe, feeling that onee-sama was hugging me like she used to.

"Just sleep fer the time bein', Kurome." And just like that, I don't why, but the darkness had taken me once again. To a dreamless sleep as I cuddled deeper into Derierei's bosom.

__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/[[Kurome's POV]]

By the time I woke up once again, I noticed that the sun was just rising from the treeline. I then noticed that I was inside a tent of some sort, something bigger than what I was used to. And other than that, I felt my head was resting on an arm, and I found it to be Derierei's arm as I turned around to face the woman, though I was actually facing her generous bust.

"Ya good? Been sleepin' for a long time there." I heard Derierei's voice higher up from her bust, causing me to look over them to get a look at her face.

"I feel...better than good, thank you. Just, a bit mentally strained from having to relive my memories." I informed her as I sat up, allowing her to pull her arm away from under me.

"Yep. S'rry about that. Had to knock some sense'n toh yah." The pinkette smiled, a smile that made me feel safe. And it was infectious too, because I also smiled, without a worry about my training, nor about how I made myself forget about my emotions anymore.

"No. It's fine. It helped me...see clearly. Thank you, Derierei." I expressed my gratitude as I cuddled up into the woman, glad about the current happenings. As painful as it was to relieve my memories, it opened up my eyes. The Empire, which I was conditioned to love and serve, has now turned into nothing but a cesspool of depravity.

"Nah. No problem. Yer my host, too, so it's only natural I help ya out." She grinned, and I blushed. Derierei just exuded an air of protection, of safety, and I couldn't help but be pulled into it, to feel safe.

"What are we going to do now?" I asked her as I snuggled deeper into her embrace now, content with where I was now. It wasn't like my onee-sama's hugs. It felt better in a different sense, where my sister made me feel loved and strong, Derierei's hug made me feel safe and able to go against the world. I don't why, but it just did.

"Depends on what you want. You could rest for a bit more, or get your receive your mission. I forgot to tell you by the way, but the Missions will mostly be something in the category that 'defies'. To defy the authorities, to defy fate'er destiny, to defy the laws, like that." Derierei pulled me in tighter into her embrace as she gave me my options. For a while, I thought about what I wanted. At first, resting for some more time would have felt good, but I was aching to use this System, to use Ricky. 'That's still a weird name for a scythe.'

"Let's...look at the missions."

From my answer, Derierei smiled, and suddenly, another holo-screen appeared in front of me.

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

Reading my missions, I was elated that I had one relating with my sister! The name was a bit weird, but having a mission to do this just gave me more reason to do this. It seems that the System knew what I wanted, especially with the rewards! The [Futanari] was a bit weird, but it would most definitely help me and onee-sama be together forever!

Looking at Deireirei, I noticed how wide her smirk was. Then, suddenly feeling both embarrassed and grateful, I suddenly felt flooded with emotions and I went to hug Derierei, kissing her on her cheek.

"Seems like someone's excited." I heard Derierei say as I broke away from the kiss, feeling her pet my head like I was a kitten.

"Of course... This mission... It just gets me more excited! My Akame-nee-sama....she left me there. She left °me°! And that's unacceptable! So, I must find her, and punish her, just like the mission says! Then, I have to make sure she'll never leave my side ever again! I love her too much to be far away from her! Even now, it's starting to hurt!" I gave Derierei everything that was in my mind, not holding anything back.

Then, Derierei began to caress the back of my head, and I began to feel...calmer. "Well, ya don't have tah w'rry about her for now. Just worry about gettin' stronger, so that yeh could punish yer Akame-nee-sama. But, for now, why don't I fill that hole in yer heart! I'll be yer big sister, and I'll definitely do whatever big sister's do to their little sisters! Like what I'm doin' now!"

Derierei was weird, but she was a good weird. So I just accepted her offer of being my "big sister", and let out a tear.

[A/N: Hope I did well on this one! Next chap will be some development, fighting, and some adventuring!

Also, Kurome will stay in the norther region for a while, training there, and making connections. Then, before Esdeath would attack the northen region, Kurome'll be gone and be doing around the capital, probably going to Aira's? and becoming her friend.

And, this world is morally shit, so expect some things to come easy, like love and shit.

I won't start making a poll yet about the any other world's, since I don't want to worry about them.

Anyway, hope I did well again!]
