Chapter 42: Chapter 42 “A New Pawn and an Unexpected Homecoming”



Once he got up, he stared at Kenji in horror.

"What?! Who are you?!" he asked.

"The person who kills you if you don't leave that girl alone!" Kenji yelled, drawing his sword. "Pick on someone your own size and age!" he ran forward, faster than anyone could see, and cut the man's head off without a second thought.

"Kenji!" Zest called. "When did you get a-"

"I'll explain later, Zest. " Kenji called back.

"You focus on freeing the kids, I'll focus on beating these other shits!" Zest nodded, and turned away, while Kenji ducked a blow from one of the guards, jumped onto the fist of another one attempting to punch him, and stabbed him in the neck. Jumping off, he sent a wave of Destruction at the next three, killing them where they were.

A large battle followed. Or rather, a large one-man massacre followed.

Guard after guard after guard attempted to attack Kenji, and guard after guard after guard met their end.

Kenji attacked with grace and finesse, always moving, never stopping, keeping one eye on his surroundings, the other eye on who he was currently killing, remembering the signs (based on his opponent's movements) on when and how to block, and when and how to attack, all lessons that Tobio had taught him during his swordfighting lessons.

And man, oh man, were the lessons paying off.

All in all, Kenji thought that, for his first real fight (the sparring sessions with Valian, Penemue, Albedo and Tobio didn't count), he was doing amazingly. He hadn't been hit once, he was careful not to hurt any innocents, his head was level, his mind was focused…

It was the perfect battle mindset.

"And… that's… it!" Kenji muttered, punctuating each word with a slash to a different guard's neck. Once the final head hit the floor, Kenji turned around, and saw Zest, cradling something, or someone, in her hands.

"Hey Zest, I've cleared all the guards out. " He said.

"And I've cleared all the kids out of here. " She said.

"And I'm also trying to heal this girl. " When Kenji looked into Zest's arms, he saw that it was the red-headed teenager who he'd saved earlier.

"She's going fast. " Zest whispered.

"I don't think there's anything I can do. The damage is too severe.

"

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Kenji whispered, feeling guilty that an innocent would die, and he couldn't do fuck-all about it.

Or could he?

He turned to the girl in Zest's arms, getting an idea. Since he could sense some type of magic inside her, it was a win-win for him, and for her.

"Can you hear me?" he asked. The girl nodded, unable to form words.

"I don't think you're going to make it, your injuries are far too severe. But if you want me to, I can give you another chance at life.

Do you want to live?" he asked. "Nod if you do, but if you don't… I understand.

" The girl in Zest's arms looked like she was weakening by the second, but with the last ounce of strength she had, she nodded.

She then succumbed to her injures, and drew her last breath. The girl died in Zest's arms.

"What are you planning to do, Kenji?" Zest asked. For an answer, Kenji drew out one of his Evil Pieces: one of his eight Mutation Pawns.

Zest nodded in understanding, and gently laid the girl down on the ground. Kenji knelt down beside the girl and gently placed the Pawn onto her chest.

Slowly pushing it into her, the girl shuddered for a second, and lay still.

"Okay, it's done. " Kenji said, standing up, and lifting the girl into a fireman's lift.

Creating a magic-circle that he stepped into, with Zest following suit, they left.

Line Break

Kenji, Zest, and the newly-reincarnated girl appeared at the front of Kenji's mansion in the Grigori territory. Without a second word, Kenji walked forwards towards the mansion.

"Do you… do you LIVE there, Kenji?" Zest asked, staring, astounded, at the huge seven-story mansion standing in front of her.

"Yup. " Kenji replied, shortly.

"You gonna stand there or what?" Zest followed Kenji inside the mansion. She barely had time to look at her surroundings before.

"KENJI!" a voice unknown to Zest yelled, and a beautiful woman in her late teens ran out of the kitchen-looking area. She had dark silver hair tied into a ponytail that went down to her back, and a figure that made Zest really jealous.

The woman and was about to hug him tightly, but stopped at the sight of the girl on Kenji's shoulder.

"Who is that?" she asked. "And who's she?" she looked at Zest.

"New peerage member, and someone I'll talk with you about later. " Kenji replied.

"I need a room for this girl, as she is my first Pawn. " Valian nodded, and let Kenji place her gently in his arms.

She headed over to a door, pressed a button, stepped into a lift-looking room, and the door shut behind her.

"Who was that, Kenji?" Zest asked.

"My half-dragon half-Devil girlfriend and Queen, Valian Lucifer. " Kenji replied.

At Zest's even-more-shocked face, he chuckled. "Yes, the one and only female blood descendent of Lucifer… is my girlfriend and Queen.

A real 9. 5 Richter Scale shocker, I know.

"

"KENJI!" another voice yelled out, and someone came careening down the stairs, and barrelled into Kenji's arms, almost knocking him over. Once Zest got a look at the woman, she saw that she was arguably as beautiful as Valian.

She had long blue hair, golden eyes and seemed to be in her early twenties.

"Valian was right, you're back!" a third woman entered the room and smiled widely at Kenji. She had long, thigh-length black hair, the same golden eyes as the first woman, and an incredible figure.

She walked over to Kenji and engulfed him in a hug as well.

"I'm glad to see you too. " Kenji muttered.

"Kenji" the blue-haired woman asked Kenji, and looked over at Zest. "Who is she?"
