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.
