113 Himejima 1 (1/2)
Edited by: Arezz
Suzaku was currently looking at some reports in a room of the Himejima Clan
She was quite focused while the reports were on a small table, she turned her gaze to a table in the corner of the room that was broken
She had a look of resentment as she deeply sighed and focus her attention back to the papers
Suzaku: ”... I do not think this is going well” She started to worry
The strength of the other supernatural beings was growing to an alarming state, some strange 'Magic Pills' suddenly appeared and strengthened those beings
This put the Clan Himejima clan in a big bind, the weaker you are, the juicier you will be when someone steps on you
Suzaku knew that absolutely, therefore as current Clan Head of the Himejima's she had to find a way to fix this
She was thinking of the words spoken by the man named Agarus
”If you need any help, you can come to me, after all, we are family now”
Tempting words, but she immediately y dismiss that though
She didn't even know if that was true, she dropped the reports and sighed tiredly
Suzaku: ”... I'm too young for this” She laughed bitterly and closed her eyes to rest
*Knock Knock*
Sounds of knocking on the door came from outside, she immediately became alert, the door didn't take long to open
”Clan Head!”

Suzaku immediately ran out of the temple, she saw the grum and pale faces of all her fellow Clanmates
She felt really agitated as she ran and came immediately to the entrance of the Temple, in the air, there were almost a hundred of fallen angels
She felt drowned by this sudden event, just what she feared most seemed to be happening, but she stood firm
Suzaku: ”... Can I know what brings the Fallen Angels to my humble faction?” She spoke trying to sound calm
The Himejima's were placed behind their leader, either for protection or to be prepared if a fight occurred
The Fallen Angel that seemed to be the leader, waved His wings as it slowly descended to the ground
Suzaku looked attentively at the winged man who was in the distance, she felt nervous
Fallen Angel: ”Nervous?” It was the first-word winged man said with a smile
Suzaku frowned. ”Is there anything you need from us?”
Fallen Angel: ”You can say that, but tell me something, are all the Himejimas gathered here today?”
The Angel looked closely at all the humans standing in front while he asked that question
Suzaku: ”What does that have to do with the fallen angels' faction? are you planning something against us?” She quickly realized the situation
Fallen Angel: ”Whether or not we are planning anything, can you really do something about it?” He scoffed while walking slowly
Suzaku bit her lips with force ”If you attack us you will provoke the wrath of all the other factions, you can't break the balance that has been maintained until now”
She said her last word trying to threaten him, everyone knew that if one of the main forces vanished, it would cause a war between the remaining forces.
The Fallen Angel stopped and laughed lightly. ”So what? To be honest ... That's what we're looking for too, isn't sound like fun?”
Suzaku made a difficult expression, she had completely realized the intentions of these angels
They were here to kill or capture them, any option was equally bad, so she quickly asked her companions to prepare for a battle.
Suzaku: ”prepare, for now, take the children to a safe place, we can't allow them to do anything against them, we have approximately ten minutes before they break the barrier!”
She gave orders quickly, the barrier placed by the Himejima clan was strong, but with a large number of fallen angels it was unlikely to withstand the attacks
”Hai!” Some retired to be able to protect the children, they should not let them see what is going to happen here
Suzaku knew that it was only a matter of time before the battle was unleashed, she knew the strength of his allies, this will possibly be a ma.s.sacre
Even so, she was not going to give up, anyway, there was no escape now, and making time for the children to escape was the best plan
The fallen Angel laughed when he heard the commands of this woman, he waved his hand and his companions in the air start circling the place
Fallen Angel: ”It's not a good choice to oppose us, you know, just stay calm while we do our thing”
The Angel walked slowly while extending his hand and touch the barrier
*Thump*
He tapped it lightly with his fingers and smiled
Fallen Angel: ”This thing is so fragile, do you really thought something like this will give you security?” He laughed
He made signs with his hands and twenty fallen angels lined up to draw light weapons and explode the barrier
Seeing them, Suzaku's pretty face went pale as she bit her lips
This was her family and she was about to go through a tragedy, she felt very hurt and powerless
But being hurt would not save them, she clenched her fists tightly and looked at her allies behind
Suzaku: ”I wasn't a good leader ...” She apologized to them
But her allies smiled and shook their heads
”Is not true”
”You have always take care of us during all this time”
”You're wrong, girl, you're the best leader we've had”
”This is just destiny, it's not a big deal” (EN:/ ”Chill out we are just going to have a tragic death no biggie :D ”)
Some young people, adults or old people spoke while saying that it was not her fault
After all, each of them knew that the strengths of the other factions rose suddenly and sooner or later this would happen
Suzaku was speechless, but she smiled gently at her family
She was grateful to everyone, looking back at the Fallen Angel in the distance she clenched her fists
At least she would try to take this b.a.s.t.a.r.d down with her
Fallen Angel: ”Now!” Shout and the twenty of his companions threw their light weapons against the barrier
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
Large explosions were present while the weapons collided with the barrier
Each Himejima tensed while waiting for the barrier to break, preparing for attack and defend
*Crack!*
They heard a sound and everyone could notice how a crack suddenly appeared in the air
That was the barrier
Suzaku: ”Get ready!” She urged her allies raising her hands with several s.h.i.+kigami between her fingers
She also prepared to take out the Vermillion Bird as soon as the battle began.
*Bang!*
It was the last impact when the barrier was completely shattered, from the sky it seemed to rain something similar as if were broken gla.s.s vanis.h.i.+ng in particles
It was their last line of defense
