Chapter 30 : Taking Care of My Friend

What's the plan exactly ? Finding him, telling him the truth about what Karen told me, hurting his feelings even though he is the one who teached me how to toss paper in people's hair and well he is the one I hated the most because of how much he pressured me and made me running wild... I was such a savage before, only thinking of hurting everyone that isn't my kin, how much of a bad person am I ? I couldn't even kill, I remember how hard his kind is to control.

Karen managed to take them down on her own with her special bullets but even then she had to transform into a giant monster bear to fight them and bring them back to their original form.

I'm just running, running towards my destiny, searching for that lonely wolf that could do something dangerous and die in the process...

Where could he be, I can't smell his odor and yet I have that feeling he is closer than I think, so close in fact that I can't see him properly, what is he doing in here next to an empty pool in the desert ? I'm throwing fire at him just so he notices me and of course I'm only using it as light on that dark night and make it so it doesn't hurt him, he turns around looking at the pretty me.

"What are you doing here alone ?"

"I wanted to have a moment with you."

"You've never been good at lying Sanaë. Is my name so scary that you can't pronounce it ?" he is giving me one of those murderer looks.

"I can pronounce it perfectly, I just don't know if I'm still worth being your friend. And Naomi is working with the Demon's lord brother who happens to be the Devil and... well, how to explain it in a good way..." I'm confused on how to announce that.

"Karen told you that or it's what you've learned on your own ?"

"Karen told me, she told me that Naomi was having an affair."

"Then she is lying. Since you're here, show me how much you've improved.

"But Karen is my best friend ! She would never lie to me for such an important thing !"

"I could smell your girlfriend not so far away, ask her to show you what is happening to Naomi then, if it's really the truth then there is no reason for me to hate her."

"Karen isn't a liar ! She never lied to me... and if she did, she would tell me the truth right after ! You're just finding excuses for me to give up on my friendship with her." why am I even crying... why am I so weak minded after all this pain...

"Just go away before it's too late. You will not last long against me."

"I'm tired of running, I'll take care of you even if I have to hurt you ! Why are all of you becoming such selfish beings !? Damien wanting to kill himself, Naomi actually being a selfish demon who tricked all of us into being her friend while she enjoys being with the Devil and ruined my childhood, Karen giving up on you for being rich and you being as naive as to think Naomi is a good person !"

"She is, Karen is manipulating you."

"And me... my only friend is actually the one who killed me over a hundred of times ! She cares about me, her family and her people... but even her might as well be trying to hurt me in some way ! What happened for everything to be so shitty in such a short period of time !?"

He stays silent until the moon shows right in front of his eyes where he transforms into a furious beast that just wants to feeds itself as it screams at the moon with such big appetite, he jumps at me as I stay immobile, looking in the gaze of that monster's eyes.

"Eat me."

I'm not even moving, I'm letting him consuming me whole as I fade into unconsciousness.

Anyhow, I'm still alive since it just happens to be an illusion I made myself with the pink fire, in fact I am actually standing at the top of the pool behind him and watching carefully while thinking of my training. Since I'm considered to be a 322 years old kitsune, why would I need to train to get thunder powers ? I would know a lot more than now if that was actually the case but I can't make thunder fall from the sky or throw a lightning at all... I am so miserable in front of my friend, I mean this monster and the only way to turn him back is to beat him up.

"Hey come here big boy ! I am your prey !"

That dumbass wolf is going towards me with his animal instincts and tries to attack me with his horrific claws and his goddamn big jaw.

I skillfully dodge all his attacks which ends up making him faster and way more terrifying to fight, well I'm not scared anymore of that beast.

Pink fire, Blue fire, as I speak your existence, deny this beast descendance, from undergoing rash training and lazy attacking.

As I mentally think of that, my pink fire creates a hundred clones of mine that are just like objects and draw them together to gang on him as he kills half of them which gives me enough time to show off.

"Blast away, dog."

As expected, the monster in front of me is taking a heavy hit and burning while his screams hurt my ears, I put my hands on them to get away slowly from here to gain some time.

When I turn my back hidden behind a big rock, the beast is nowhere to be seen, I keep staring where he was before waiting for the right opportunity to strike, building up my magic.

There is nothing I can see, this is deadly silent, where could he be hiding ? I have to take care of him or else I'm not worth being anything but a sow, I lower my guard and sit down after a while of waiting...

"Where did he go ?" I mutter to myself, being confident he is close by.

Someone else took me by surprise, it's that girl that I asked to be my slave after I worked for her, what the hell is she doing here, the one who hates me for no reason ! She hasn't changed, she even sits next to me.

"I can hear your thoughts. That monster is you're friend ?"

"Shush... don't breath or he'll get you."

"You're ugly and weak, can't even count on yourself. Just watch and learn how it's done." she replies with her detestable attitude.

"Miss Slave, learn your place and go cook me something good. Or maybe you scared because of how bad you are at cooking."

"Fine."

Great this one is finally leaving, actually... as I am looking after her, that's when the werewolf shows up and almost eat her as she steps back.

"Truly pathetic that I have to get rid of him."

"Don't ! He is my friend !"

"It's not your friend, it's a monster."

As she says it she throws some sort of bottle that breaks at his contact then he is being liquified with something yellow that makes him scream louder, he is in pain and I want to help him, but if I kill this girl that makes me a bad person... if it's the only way to protect my friend... I don't want to lose any more friends... Aha I'm tearing up so much because of this.

"What's the fuss for ? Monsters are meant to be killed." this girl is... doesn't she have any feelings ?

"I see, well in that case. Just so you know, killing him won't make him die."

"W-w-what ?"

As he tries to attack with his claws, that arrogant girl laughs and take me by the legs and use me as her shield with her overwhelming strength, my friend suddenly becomes more agressive to me than he was to her, I use all the magic I can gather to shuffle fire onto his face but he isn't even feeling pain anymore and there isn't even a single trace of bruises.

I am getting shred apart by his gigantic claws, my blood spilling, my blood drooling, I am realizing my situation once the girl faces me with a grin.

"You deserved it, It's not like a hold grudge to you or anything."

"What have you done to him..." I'm feeling weak and everything looks like blood.

My eye doesn't work, why... why doesn't it work ?

Am I really gonna die here killed by my own friend ? I used all my ressources, what hope is even left there ?

"He is under my complete control now. And hearing your thoughts gave me a headache, so annoying... So I had decided to make you suffer as much as I did." that bad girl is feeling relieved to know I'm about to suffer...

"The real... monster... is you."

"How so ? You hate witches, you hate pigs, you hate lizards, you hate yourself. I'm just helping you realize that this world is dangerous and that you are very unlucky for encoutering me." she says with no problems.

My friend keeps using his claws on me, sharpening his while taking away my flesh, it's painful, I wouldn't want anyone to go through that ever, I feel like losing it anytime, my arms flesh is being eaten voraciously until I can even see my own bones, yet I don't want to beg for mercy, that would be too pathetic.

That girl is enjoying herself while my clothes, while my body is being torn apart and no one even shows up to save me, if only someone could find me... being restrained is not fun unless it's Olivia, even if you are not the one saving me I'll still love you.

At some point he even eat my brain, I'm losing my mind, I'm becoming crazy, laughing at the pain and my pathetic state while one enjoy his meal and the other mocks me and asks me something before I totally get swallowed by he who I cannot remember the name for some odd reason... my brain is fart.

"Since you're gonna die, I'll tell you why World Reaper Sauce Hamburger. The joke wasn't funny ? Well, you're laughing so it was. I'm part of a secret organization of talented assassins, in that department you could say I'm the worst. You know what Sanaë, the world will be better without you, you might hate me for this but... the Devil has always been you."

I cannot process much of what she says, but right now I wish to die as fast as possible and go back to the last place my eyes worked. Can't even close my eyes, can't even scream without a tongue.

I wait and wait and wait and wait and wait, eventually someone will show up.

Way way later, someone does show up, I can't see anything as what's left of my brain isn't connected to my eyes and well, seems like this shadow of a person is too late, this time nothing will stop me from dying, eaten whole by my friend and once he wake up, what kind of face will he make ? Will he regret it ? That's the last thing I could think about, that's no longer a story about me.
