Upon arriving she sheathed the sword and slowly let her soul untangle the laws keeping Kuroka in this state. The sword was bathed in a golden light and soon after Kuroka was once again standing before her. She had a purple tattoo on her left collar bone in the shape resembling a heart.
"That was great!! I felt so powerful!!" Kurokiba exclaimed as she hugged the shocked Kuroka, she had also felt the power coursing through her veins and it drove untold waves of pleasure upon her.
"Ahem! Care to explain what that was?" Kuroka decided to regain control of the situation, with a raised eyebrow and an impatient glare she forced Kurokiba to reveal what just transpired.
"As I said that was a drive state, I just discovered it a few weeks ago, but apparently I can control a virus that alters the laws of the world and forges the souls of those infected into weapons. I wanted to surprise you when you got back so I've been training hard to access this power. "Kurokiba explained shyly.
"I see, well you certainly surprised me. I've never felt so much power run through me, I felt like. Like I could do anything." Kuroka mumbled to herself.
"Also the whole kissing and touching thing. It was necessary b-" Kurokiba tried to explain.
"Oh, T-that. Don't worry about it, I understand." Kuroka said with a strained smile, she felt mixed emotions about that moment. On one hand it had her questioning her sexual orientation and on another hand she felt awkward and ashamed.
"You don't understand, I did it because I wanted to. Like I said before I love you, it's like an instinct but it drives me insane with desire and affection. I know you want an heir and I can't give you a child but I just wanted to put my feelings out there." Kurokiba dropped a bombshell, she had mulled over this for over a year and decided to take ROB's advice, it was time to move on.
"W- what are you saying so suddenly? You're like a sister to me we can-" Kuroka said, she had never been so flustered before.
"I'm not asking you to be with me right now, I just wanted you to know. You make me feel satisfied and happy just take some time to think about your answer to me please and if you do accept me. I promise I will do all I can to make you happy. "Kurokiba was steadfast as she spoke.
"Till then I'll be out there exploring the world, and when we finally meet I'll have more stories to tell you. I might even go to high-school." Kurokiba spoke cheerfully as a bright smile adorned her face, it made her look feral but that enhanced her beauty.
Kuroka blushed at her thoughts, she shook her head a little and cursed her beating heart.
"Just be careful, make sure you come back in one piece." Like a worried mother, Kuroka hounded Kurokiba until she was sure she'd be fine.
"I'll be leaving in a week, so let's hang out before then." Kurokiba said happily, Kuroka nodded in agreement, she wanted to spend as much time as she could with Kurokiba before her eventual departure.
1 week flew by and the time came for Kurokiba to leave. Kuroka was not the only one there to bid her farewell, the mansions servants also packed her some necessities and saw her off. She was loved among the servants due to her energetic nature and charming antics as they were called.
After assuring Kuroka repeatedly that she'd be fine, Kurokiba finally left, she had informed Kuroka about their link that could ignore any distance and bring them together if necessary, and this eased a lot of Kuroka's worries.
After leaving Kurokiba started thinking about where to go, she'd been around the world for the most part. Mostly to hunt strays or deliver something for Kuroka.
Kuroka shrugged and just bought a plane ticket to Japan, she figured it was time she hunted for clues as to who killed her body's former host. After a long airplane ride from Rome to Japan Kurokiba finally arrived.
The first thing she did was lease an apartment in Tokyo using the card given to her by Kuroka, nobody knew that she was technically only 14 and hypnosis magic was easy to cast on normal humans. Her physical looks also suggested she was a sixteen year old. She also had the mentality of an old man she thus couldn't allow herself to live like a child. She had long since forged an ID and a license.
After settling into her new fully furnished apartment, Kurokiba decided to kick back for once, she'd been training and fighting for years. She decided to take a needed break.
She settled down on her couch, a cup of steaming coffee lay in her hand as she blissfully sipped and watched TV.
She moaned in ecstasy at the taste of the coffee, it had taken years but she had finally managed to create what was arguably a perfect cup of coffee, it tasted too good to be true.
As she relaxed, Kurokiba suddenly remembered a certain fire princess she needed to deal with, a groan of unwillingness left her mouth as she didn't feel like doing it. But she also knew she had to let her out eventually.
Closing her eyes, Kurokiba appeared before the altar in her soul world, she placed her hand on Azula's forehead and sent her intent to summon her.
Azula's body dissipated into tiny light spheres and reappeared in her living room. The girl looked worse for wear, her hair was a mess, like she had fought a pair of scissors and lost. Her golden eyes looked weary. Her hollow stare pierced through Kurokiba causing her great discomfort.
"Hey, how are you feeling? "Kurokiba asked with a friendly smile.
"Where am I?" Instead of replying, Azula looked around the room carefully, although she had lost everything and she was plagued by insomnia and on the verge of insanity. Her soldier mentality still held on, she looked at the woman before her wearily, and got ready to strike should need be.
....
There was a brief silent stare down between the two, Azula cautiously stood with a bit of weariness in her golden eyes while Kurokiba seemed a bit perplexed at her unexpected state at the moment.
"It's kinda hard to explain, but I mean you no harm. Please just rest for now, you look terrible." Kurokiba said with concern, she could see that the girl was barely holding on.
Azula looked at the girl in bafflement, usually she'd have snapped at her and maybe even attacked her to teach her a lesson, but right now she was preoccupied. There was a gap in her memory, the last thing she remembered was being shipped off to a mental asylum. Her brother had shamed her and spared her life, at that moment she thought death would be better, in fact she desired to just disappear into oblivion. She didn't have any will to live on anymore.
"Can I trust you?" Fighting off all of her natural instincts, Azula asked the most out of character question for her.
Kurokiba just gaped at the girl, she was shocked by the person that stood before her, she didn't have any semblance to the Azula he'd watched behind the screen, even when she devolved into insanity she wasn't so....passive.
"Yeah." Kurokiba gave a kind smile and answered genuinely.
After hearing that, all the tension left Azula's body, all the fatigue, sadness and pain finally caught up to her. She fell into a slumber, the last thing she remembered was a warm embrace and a rosy scent.
....
Kurokiba looked down at Azula's sleeping form with astonishment. Of all the scenarios that played out into her head when she planned ways to subdue her, it never occurred to her that Azula would simply be so out of it and purposeless, frankly she didn't know what to do now.
'What if she wakes up and decides to kill herself?' Kurokiba pondered, she couldn't really accurately predict what Azula would do. But she wouldn't put it past Azula to try and end everything once she finds out her perfect world has fallen apart completely with no chance to regain it.
Looking down at the fourteen year old princess, it really stung deep how bad her life had been. Nobody except her father ever given her the love she craved. Her uncle was too busy fighting a war and her mother feared her.
Sadly her father was also only chasing his own agenda, maybe he did love her, but his ambitions came first above all else. He had obsessed himself with power so much he sinned against his children. Their final Agni Kai was a testament to that.
Of all the fight scenes Kurokiba had watched in the Avatar show, no words could really describe how much of an impact that one fight had on her.
"I guess I'll deal with her when she wakes up." Kurokiba sighed to herself and walked away.
.....
The next morning Azula stirred awake, she found herself waking up to an unfamiliar grey ceiling, even more perplexing was the fact that she wasn't bound like a loon.
She looked around, the room had a single bed with white cosy cotton blankets and satin sheets, a light on the middle of the room illuminated the white and pink walls. The rest of the room was a little bare besides a wooden desk near the window and a closet.
She sat up from the bed. Fighting off an intolerable headache as images flashed in her head. She wasn't in her old world anymore, instead she had been summoned by the strange woman from yesterday.
Images came into her head like a flood, telling her to obey her new master, a preposterous idea!!
'Ridiculous!! How could I a princess stand to be under someone else's boot?!!'Azula screamed internally, on the outside She only uttered a dissatisfied groan.
How could someone dare spout such nonsense to her? The great Azula. She may have fallen from grace, but she was still a princess and a proud warrior to boot.
As she delved into her own little world of delusion, Azula didn't notice a new presence enter the room. Kurokiba looked curiously at the girl, her overall condition was looking much better now.
Kurokiba stared at Azula who scowled as her thoughts delved deeper and deeper into confusion as she sorted through the information in her mind. Kurokiba didn't know this of course, she brought down a cup of coffee on the desk and pulled a chair to sit beside Azula, not daring to disturb the girl's thoughts.
After a few more minutes, Azula finally regained her bearings, she jumped up in caution and got into a ready stance once she realized that someone sat beside her.
"Hey, whoa I told you I'm not going to harm you. Calm down and have a coffee, you were pretty out of it yesterday." Kurokiba spoke in a disarming manner.
Hearing this, Azula stared at her trying to discern any lies in her words, after sensing no malice, she settled back down and took the offered cup of coffee, which was kept hot using magic.
The two sat in silence, Azula glared at the cup showing clearly her suspicion that it was spiked.
"Don't worry, I didn't put any poison or drug in it." Kurokiba assured.
Azula hesitantly sipped the coffee. Her eyes widened as she tasted the fragrant beverage, Never in her life had she tasted such a delicacy. The sweet heavenly taste and the hint of bitterness melded perfectly together. She moaned involuntarily into the cup.
"I assumed you like my coffee! You're reaction reminds me so much of my sister when she also first tasted it..." Kurokiba started talking merrily as if Azula was an old friend and they were catching up over a cup of coffee.
"Shut up!" Azula's cold vice dominated the room, she craned her head slightly and looked at Kurokiba's confused eyes with her hollow golden eyes.
"I don't wish to hear you yap on about your pathetic life as if I care or even asked you. I don't know your purpose for bringing me here but you'd better take me back to my world or else." Azula threatened.
Kurokiba just stared at the girl for a few seconds, seeing this Azula smiled internally as the she gained leverage in the conversation.
