18 Lost Memories of the Predecessor (1/2)

[Later]

Gabriel was relaxing over a tree, thinking about the future in the Witch's Knoll, he knew that Ruby's master(The name is Ruby, with the Y, I checked the wiki) is dead, but when he extended his En in the garden, he found two unfamiliar auras, one should be Ruby, but he didn't knew the second one.

Then he heard a scream, and Gabriel hastily rushed in the place to find that Yukari disappeared, while the others were attacked by crows that slowly dispersed.

Gabriel: Tsk… Too late…

[Meanwhile]

Yukari opened her eyes to find herself in another place of the forest, and in front of her there was a young woman surrounded by crows, the woman had long black hair and wore a black dress. In her hand she had a sunflower and a magic wand.

Yukari: Huh? What… Where… Where am I?

?: Hey… You're awake. So, how's it feel to be with humans, you looked terrible back there, young witch.

Then a crow got near Yukari, and she panicked.

Yukari: Kyaaaa.

?: Oh… Don't worry about them, these crows are my friends. They've helped me bring you here from those humans.

Yukari: What… What are you?

Ruby: My name is Ruby, I'm a resident of the 'Witch's Ranch'. I really wanted to be your friend so I came over from the ranch. I have been living in the human society, so I understand that humans are powerless, pitiful creature that can't do anything, but destroy.

Then Ruby walked towards Yukari and gave her a sunflower.

Ruby: Those humans that fill us with hate are planning to destroy the sunflower patch along with our ranch. That is why Yukari, in order for us to fight against the humans, we need your help. Will you help us?

Yukari thought about it before she nodded, Ruby gasped and hugged Yukari with excitement.

Rubi: Really!? Yaay, now you are one of us, let's be friends

Yukari: Kyaa, Ruby…

They were interrupted when something crashed near them, raising a smokescreen, then they heard a voice.

?: Give me a break… Oi, Yukari, I can't always look for you…

When the smokescreen settled down, it revealed Gabriel, still in human form.

Yukari: G-Gabriel?!

Ruby: You human, how did you know that we were here?

Gabriel: I gotta to be an idiot to not notice the amount of crows here…

Ruby: Tsk… Disappear!!

Then she used her magic to make appear 3 pairs of bladed jet black wings and used them to cut Gabriel, but he just stood there, and let his tail do the job, surprising Ruby.

Ruby: You… What are you?

Gabriel: I'm the King.

Then his tail moved downwards, moving the wings too and then the stinger found itself in Ruby's neck.

Gabriel: Now… Why were you following us before?

Ruby gritted her teeth while Yukari panicked and runned towards Gabriel.

Yukari: Wait, Gabriel! Don't kill her!

Gabriel looked at Yukari and sighed before his tail slammed in Ruby's neck, making her fall unconscious. Then the tail grabbed Ruby's abdomen and Gabriel grabbed Yukari, and jumped away.

[Later]

Ruby was dreaming about her past, until she suddenly woke up, and found Tsukune, Kurumu, Moka and Yukari watching her. Ruby stood up and said with panic.

Ruby: What? Wh...Where am I…

Yukari: Ah! Ruby is awake.
