Chapter 11: Retreating?! Who?!
A/N:
I've been stressed lately by the amount of assignments and projects we've been tasked to do. And here comes my story. I'm sorry it didn't reached three chapters... But oh well, I wrote yesterday the whole 2 chapters. And you don't know how good I slept at night. (But my father yelled at me and woke me up for school, geez...)
And lol, there was this guy fighting my ex-crush (they're insulting in a playful way). Then my crush was like, 'Hey, (my sassy classmate from the last A/N) can you please control your husband?' And I was like 'Ohhhhh~' But the guy replied, 'Hey (Otome-san), can you also control your husband?' (I swear I almost choked on my lunch. Since when did he know my crush?! Only the girls know it, except if his sis told it.) But I calmly replied 'Nah, he isn't my husband...' Then, he became silent. 'Lol, are you okay (crush name)?' But strangely, I felt guilty. Welp, Otome-san's feelings are confused now.

"I'll fight you." She declared. I looked at her, and I saw no hint of doubt or a scared look in her eyes. Instead, she looks determined.
"Let's see if you can manage to keep up with me." I said while getting ready for any (surprise) attacks.
"Blinding light!" She casted and I dodged the attack.
"Dark Roar!" A black thing came out and roared loudly, it almost become deafening. Hime stopped on her tracks and covered her ears.
Now is my chance! I thought while running towards her direction.
"Dark Sphere!" She looked at her back and dodged the attack in the nick of time.
I guess I shouldn't underestimate her. I groaned.
"Magical Aurora!" Then a rainbow spiral enveloped me. I tried breaking free, but failed.
The aurora wrapped around me, I gasped when it tried changing me to my normal-magical girl state. (The previous transformation I mean.)
"Gambatte! H-Hime!" Her wounded companions cheered at her. I tried squirming, but to no effect.
"Oh, no you can't! Dark age!" The once bright aurora turned into a dark spiral and quickly dissipated in thin air.
She gasped and stopped her attack. She eyed me and I smirked back.
"Come forth! My power! Cover this place with darkness!" Then some sort of darkness covered us both. I can see clearly, but I couldn't say the same to her.
"Little light!" She casted a small ball of light, enough to see her surroundings, yet not that much. Let's try surprising her.
I crept to her back and made a dark sphere quietly. She still is being alert even with the light she has. I quickly released it and it went hurling over her direction. She quickly looked back and moved to the side.
Hm, she has sharp instincts... This is fun!
I quietly crept onto her back, but she quickly turned around and kicked on my direction. Whoops, she noticed. I was about to retreat to the dark surroundings for another surprise attack, but she didn't let me. Instead, she tried attacking me, both physical and magic. I defended myself from the attacks, but she just kept on going. I need to change my stance somehow...
She tried kicking my face (Wow, she's quite flexible @~@), but I grabbed her leg and tried knocking her out. But she also kicked using her other leg, which I didn't notice, and got knocked out.
"Memory of Light!" The light hurled towards me, and I didn't have any time to dodge it. It enveloped me and a vision came.
"Onee-san," A girl with blurred features said to my child self. "Isn't she the girl who saved me from the tree?"
I looked at her direction and saw a girl with a frown. I couldn't see her eyes, hair, or anything, except for her lips that were in a frown.
"She is!" I exclaimed. "Now, let's say thank you to her!"
We went over to her direction. She was sitting on a swing, all alone. When she heard footsteps near her direction, she looks up at us.
"What do you want?!" She asked rudely.
"We just want to thank you for saving my imouto from that tree. I would feel bad if she got hurt." I thanked.
"Hai! Arigato onee-san!" My little 'sister' bowed.
"I-It's nothing." She faced towards the other direction.
I grabbed her hands, and I felt my eyes sparkling.
"No! It isn't nothing! You saved my imouto's life. I'll repay you!" I said.
"I SAID IT WAS NOTHING!" She screamed then slapped my hand away. The force sent me tumbling away and I winced in pain. I looked at my arm, the bandaged one. Before, there wasn't too much blood, but now, I think it reopened.
"Onee-san!" My little sis went to my side and helped me up.
"GO AWAY!" She screamed at us. My sis went to my back and hid; she was scared.
I patted her head, and decided to leave her alone for a while. But not before vowing to myself,
'I'll be friends with her no matter what!'
I gasped at the memory that flashed. That was too much for me to take in.
"What did you do?!" I asked at the female.
"Lily-san, you need to open your heart!" She said while staring right through my soul. "Stop this madness, and be one of us! You'll get nothing from being evil, except for the added misery and loneliness."
She reached out a hand for me. I was tempted to take her hand, if it wasn't for something pulling me back. It seems like her hand was the light, and I am stuck in the darkness. I tried desperately to reach out the light, but something keeps pulling me back. It was as if something was wrong...
"I won't!" I replied before standing up. "You, you don't understand!"
She gasped as I released a strong darkness aura around me. I looked up at her and smirked.
"Dark Fury!" I released a powerful violet beam towards the Light Girl. Her eyes widened.
"Angel's Light!" She countered and a powerful looking beam that's white clashed with my dark one.
Both of our beams are clashing so much. It looks like we have almost the same capacity of power. Our beams power just stayed in the middle, none of those giving up. I'll just heighten my effort! My violet beam moved a bit towards her little by little. She widened her eyes and increased her efforts as well. Now, it was her beam going towards me.
"Maximum, activate! Dark Fury!!" My beam moved towards her much faster than before.
"Super! Angel's light!!" Her light was defending, but much slower, back. At this rate, we'll lose our powers!
The beams were much stronger than before, and it seemed like it'll explode!
BOOM!
I flew away from the explosion, so do Hime. I tried standing up, but it took all of my strength to stand up. I forced myself. So, who won?
I couldn't really see what happened to Hime due to the smoke from the collision. I squinted my eyes to see...
Hime standing up! What?! She survived?! At this rate, I'll lose!
"I-I am not giving up!" She exclaimed then went towards me. Oh how I wish to cast some magic on her, but I think my power hasn't come back after that. I trembled from fear.
When she took her fifth step, she fainted.
"HIME!!" Her companions exclaimed.
So, I won huh. But, why do I feel sad? Guilty? This is the path my 'character' chose, so why? I guess I couldn't really act like her. Heh, I wonder what her reaction will be for defeating the main character. Happy? Joyful? Proud?
I fell down to my knees and kneel down. I lost all of my strength. I looked at the brothers, and they use stealth to go and get the fainted girl.
"Ice Wall!" A wounded Mahiru casted between us. The brothers widened their eyes and quickly went to their side before the ice could cover everything between us. But in the nick of time, the wall enclosed, leaving the brothers halting their movements.
"Dammit!" Yuuma punched the Ice Wall. "We were almost there."
I wanted to call them out, but my voice was stuck in my throat. Instead, a croak came out.
Yuuto came to face me first, then Yuuma.
"You've done a good job Lily-chan!" He patted my head. "Yet that was very dangerous, you know."
I cannot speak, so I only looked down.
Then I felt being hovered in the air. I gasped and tried fighting back.
"Chill," Yuuma said nonchalantly while carrying me bridal style. "Now, let's go back and rest. You've done a lot."
And the two didn't bother teasing or annoying me. The silence was comfortable. Before I knew, I snuggled near the redhead's chest and slept.
... It was comfortable...
I didn't notice a certain redhead bearing a soft and warm expression to my unconscious form.
