16 Creation of the Ten Tails (1/2)

”Get back here you little bastard!”

Noctis laughed as Luna chased him around the cafeteria. ”If I'm a bastard, then so are you!”

”ARRGH! Get back here and let me beat you! I'll steal everything you've collected 'till now!”

Neutrum shrugged at this and sat between Serenus and Chao. ”Do you have any sweets for me?”

”Have some of this. It's very good.” Serenus served a caramel custard pudding while she lifted a spoon to his lips.

”Thank you Darling.” Just as he was about to cover the spoon with his mouth, Chao devoured it. ”Mmm! So good! Inamorato, you don't mind me stealing a bite of your pudding do you?”

His eyes dimmed and he swept his frosty glance over her. ”I do mind actually. Compensate me later.”

”Sir Neutrum you're such a pervert!” A young man squealed. Luna turned to him and her eyes glowed. A pair of twins walked in.

”Introduce me to the eye candy Inamorato.” When Chao said this, both Serenus and Neutrum became calloused. ”Chao, Sweetheart, if you talk like that again, I may really have to get mad.” Ventus, Tellus, and Inrigo shivered when they saw how dead Serenus looked. Nubis and Caligo on the other hand, began to sparkle.

”Don't forget that you're a part of me Chao. Don't trigger the you in me,” warned Neutrum as he rubbed Serenus' back.

”The one with shorter hair is Meteorum. The one with the longer hair is his brother Cometes.” He didn't speak any further and continued to eat.

”That's all you're going to say?”

Neutrum didn't reply to Meteorum causing him to pout and come up with an ultimatum. ”If you don't introduce us properly, I'll ban you from reading Cometes' stories.”

No reaction besides a small shift. Cometes wrote some really nice books, but at the same time, it's too much work to speak.

”I won't let you look at my art.”

Neutrum looked at him in disdain. The only art piece he truly admired were the paintings Meteorum made based on Neutrum's stories of the past.

”I didn't want to use this, but you've left me no choice. I'll tell the two of them about that incident.”

”You're all bark and no bite. Why would I care about something I have no idea about? A rascal like you only knows how to hide behind your brother.”

Meteorum smiled evilly, 'I'll remember what you've said. For now, let's make you sweat a bit.' ”To jog your memory, we were supposed to be chasing a comet to get some materials when -”

”ENOUGH! I get it. Give me your notes.” Meteorum smirked triumphantly missing Neutrum's lack of passion on his face.

'He did it on purpose to let him feel smug before he strikes him back down.' thought Ignis.

”Stahp itt!” whined the whiny child. ”At least introduce my bro properly.”

”Just because I don't take a rascal like you seriously doesn't mean it will be the same for your brother. The young man to the right is Cometes. He's much more scholarly than the toddler. He keeps his hair at collar length for this reason and also wears fake glasses. The two of them have been following me for a year. I brought them here so they can attend Darling's school.”

”You had the same thought as well Inamorato?” asked Serenus.

”What do you mean Sweetheart? Are you bringing him here too?”

”Yes.”

”Where is he then?”
