Kuro and Haruki wait for the members of Abyss to awake. Haruki standing there impatient and his foot tapping the ground at one tap a second. Kuro stands there coldly and emotionlessly with his hands in his pockets.
The members wake up and looked worried. "Come on, please let us go. We were ordered to do this; it wasn't our fault!" Isolde says looking worried as he turned pale.
Haruki: Answer my questions. Tell me what team Abyss is and what they want.
"W..we can't answer that, or they'll kill us!" Malik says turning pale and absolutely terrified.
"Just answer the damn question!" Haruki grabs Malik by the hair and forces Malik to look into Haruki's eyes.
"We really can't! I don't want to die!" Malik says shaking like a wild man .
"no one else is around so spill it" Haruki says as he grips harder and showing frustration.
Kuro's mind: Something's not right... They are terrified of these higher ups in the team Abyss. This would only mean they were manipulated into joining a so-called team for good, then forced to do dirty work without a way to leave or the punishment would be death. It may just be a hunch, but I feel as if that's it, not to mention this feeling in my gut telling me to run but not out the door.
footsteps approach the doors. Haruki stands up and looks that direction while Kuro just stares. The footsteps stop in-front of the door as the handle slowly twists open. The door opens slowly until a sudden, "SLAM!". The door flies open and slams against the wall as two people walk through. The one in-front walks arrogantly over with his steps echoing through the silent gym. The man is wearing a long red overlay with black eyes followed by white hair and red eyes. The dude behind him is walking slow and precise like he knows he is the strongest there. He wears black pants and a black hoodie with his hands in this hoodie pockets at the front. He has black hair and black eyes.
Kuro's mind: "hold on... Isn't that Diablo and Void from the other day."
Haruki: Oh so it's you guys again! What do you idiots want.
"What did you just say! Know your place you pathetic weakling." Diablo says while being pissed off.
"Know my place? Who do you think you're talking to!" Haruki says getting a little mad
Diablo vanishes from his place undetectable. Diablo stands before Haruki after just disappearing and demonstrating incredible speed that even an S rank like Haruki couldn't see.
Before Haruki knows what's going on; Haruki is then hit with a windmill punch with the gathered momentum from the speed Diablo gathered. Haruki is then sent straight to the ground 15ft feet away and unconscious.
Kuro's mind: What the hell was that. he moved so fast I could hardly see it! To think he could one shot an S ran-
Kuro's thoughts were interrupted as Diablo appears before Kuro, back fisting Kuro sending Kuro sliding across the gym floor still conscious, before stopping beneath Void laying below staring upon Voids deep and empty black eyes that felt like a black hole.
Void stares helplessly below him at Kuro with his black hole-like eyes sending shivers down Kuro Akagame's spine.
Kuro then passes out and wakes up in the nurses office with Haruki in another bed still asleep next to him.
"So, you're finally awake" said Yoru while sitting on a chair in-between Kuro and Haruki.
Yeah. Kuro says emotionlessly like usual.
A yawn can be heard close by, so they look to the other bed to see Haruki awake.
"Well, you two have some explaining to do, unless you both just had a draw in your training." Yoru says while desperately needing to know what really happened.
Haruki then explains everything from his point of view.
"That's sums it up right, Kuro?" Haruki says exhausted
I nod as Yoru then says, "So it's those guys who showed up at our fight."
"That's right. They were so strong it was terrifying not going to lie." Haruki says with a hint of horror in his voice.
In the classroom the next week:
Mrs. Yor gets me, Haruki and Yoru in a bus to head to the battle arena where the tournament is going to be held. As the three of us sit in the bumpy bus, I stare out the window thinking about what I should do and what happened last week. Yoru and Haruki are chatting about the tournament and a plan to handle the first round. "sigh" I sigh and continue watching the houses and cars pass by.
