It had been a month since the fight. The leaves had started falling off some trees and the air had gotten cooler. Akasuki was worried about them and ask Nagisa to stay until Pandora healed. Meanwhile Akasuki trained Nagisa in movements and treated her like an errand girl. Often asking her to retrieve things from the woods or town. In that month Nagisa got used to the town and more wary about people. She had also gotten pretty close to the little fox boy, talking about various things. Pandora and her had also gotten closer to each other.
While Pandora healed she taught Nagisa from the side lines about sword fighting and breathing techniques.
Akasuki also showed her some herbs that could help on the move, as well as some potion making. Pandora slowly became softer with Nagisa and Akasuki, showing that she was more than what she appeared. Nagisa’s feelings for Pandora had intensify as well. Her cheeks were often red around her and her heart would skip a beat at the sight of her. Pandora also blushed a bit.
“Nagisa?” Pandora whispered standing above Nagisa was sleeping in and large bed they shared. Nagisa’s hair was a mess and she was drooling a bit.
Nagisa groaned a bit and stretched “Sparing?” Nagisa mumbled tiredly rubbing one of her eyes and opening the other one. Her brown eyes shimmered as she pushed herself up to sit. Her orange hair moved softly as she moved.
Pandora blushed a bit as her eyes watched Nagisa ‘that’s weirdly cute..?’
“N- no, I was thinking we could go down to the beach near here, but if you want to spar….” Pandora teased, sitting down on the bed next to her. Nagisa pause for a second, thinking about what Pandora had said. Stars appeared in her eyes quickly realizing what she said. “The beach?” she questioned “There’s a beach here?”
Pandora gives her a confused look “Yeah? What, did you think we didn’t have beaches?”
“I guess I never thought about it...” Nagisa replied sheepish.
“Your world is so interesting.. I wonder what your beaches are like!” Nagisa day dreamed about giant squids and rainbow fish.
“Your world was rather interesting as well, you have these weird devices that you talk and write with?” Pandora replied.
“Phones you mean?” Nagisa questioned.
“P-phones?” Pandora asked while watching Nagisa jump out of bed and walked over to a bag in the corner that held her old school uniform. She reached her right hand into one of the pockets and grabs a small rectangle box with a pink case. Nagisa half ran back over to Pandora and sat onto the bed close to Pandora. “This is called a phone.” Nagisa stated, holding it to her. Pandora’s peeked up as she leaned closer to it. Nagisa pushed a button on the side turning it on and showing off the lock screen that had of a cat. “Most people use their phones for the internet, but there are other this you can do on it.”
“In...ter...net?” Pandora asked popping her head to the side.
“a global computer network thing that helps a variety of things. It has a lot of information and you can communicate with basically anyone! There’s also games and schools.” Nagisa rambled.
“Do they kill people?” Pandora questioned poking it softly.
“Probably?” Nagisa giggled.
“What’s that at the top? ‘No Service’? Why is someone denying you service? Do I need to kill them??” Pandora asked concerned.
“It just means I have no internet connection.” Nagisa laughed and ressured.
“I can take pictures too.” Nagisa replied as she pulling up her camera. Nagisa wrapped her arm around Pandora’s waist. “Say ‘cheese Pan!” Nagisa said. “Cheese?” Pandora asked looking at Nagisa puzzled Nagisa giggled and flashed a warm smile as Pandora stared at the screen confused. A flash went off and a picture was taken. Nagisa pulled up the picture on her gallery as she showed Pandora the picture. Pandora's eyes widen and her eyes poking forward as she stared at the picture “Woah!!! That’s us!!!”she took the phone and looked closer.
“Yeah it took our picture.” Nagisa stated as she took the phone back and changed her lock screen to picture of her and Pandora.
“I don’t have a swimsuit, so how am I supposed to go swimming?” Nagisa stated placing the phone down on the bed.
“We go buy them. I don’t have on either.” Pandora replied with a grin.
“Okay…”
After a short trip to town they entered the store that sold swimsuits.
Nagisa quickly grabbed a few and ran to the drawing room “You be the judge!” Nagisa smiled at Pandora “After I’ll be your judge!” Nagisa disappeared into the small changing room and got changed. Nagisa pushing the curtain open, reviling and white one piece with and cut heart shape on the navil. Nagisa spun around and pose. “So?” “No.” “Okay…” Nagisa whispered while closing it again. After a minute she came out again in a two piece with a shell bra “No.” Pandora said harshly. “Fine!” Nagisa yelled. After another minute Nagisa came out with a white two piece on with frills on top and small frill skirt with bows on the side.
“Y-yes..” Pandora muttered. “Yay! We have a winner!” Nagisa posed. “Your turn now.” Nagisa grin. Pandora grabbed a few then slowly walking into the changing room. After two minutes Pandora came out in a black one piece with a high waist. Nagisa’s face went red “N-no..” Nagisa muttered. Pandora came out again in a black one piece with a diamond cut out of the chest with a frill skirt. “No!” Nagisa made an X with her arms. Pandora came out again after a few minutes. “Is this okay?” She huff with a blush.
She was in a simple black bikini with a see through black Sarong that wrapped around her waist. Nagisa nodded and just stared.
Nagisa Eyes went wide as she stared at the ocean and the sand “Wow it’s so pretty!” Nagisa and Pandora went down to sand where other people already set up. Pandora place a blanket down on the sand, while still where her cloak. Nagisa’s white frilly bikini moved softly and she tied her hair into pigtails.
“Your still wearing the cloak...?” Nagisa asked a bit disappointed.
“Of course.” Pandora said “Why?” Nagisa pouted.
“Because it makes me feel comfortable.” Pandora replied stern.
“fine..”Nagisa said sadly
“This is suppose to be having fun. Go swim dumbass.” Pandora stated.
“Anyways before we do anything fun we should do a little sparing.” Pandora stated “Awww Pan!~”Nagisa whined.
“I know, but we gotta spar a little,But i make it little interesting i’ll add stakes I’ll take off my cloak if you knock me down. Okay?” Pandora said
Nagisa blushed “Let’s do this!” she yelled ‘I’m gonna win this! Seeing Pandora in her bikini with her fair skin would be so nice...’ Nagisa face shifting to some of a perverted face as she stretched.
“Glad you agreed.” Pandora grinned.
Pandora walked over to where they put their stuff and picked up the two wooden swords. ‘Let's go!’
Pandora picks up one of the swords and tossed it at Nagisa. Nagisa stumbled as she caught the sword in her hand.
“Lets begin, shall we?” Pandora said
Nagisa smirked as she ran at Pandora ducking under Pandora’s swing.
Pandora grabbed the back of her bikini top and threw her into the sand. Nagisa dug her heels into the sand as she moved back the sand feeling hot on her feet.
“Try again.” Pandora ordered
Nagisa ran at Pandora again as she swung at her, Pandora blocked her sword with her own. Pandora and Nagisa swords slashed against each other. Nagisa moved back and slashed at Pandora’s leg. Pandora jumped as Nagisa hit the ground where she originally stood. Pandora landed back on her feet. she disappeared moving so fast that Nagisa couldn’t keep up. She looked around trying to find her. Pandora appeared behind her and kneed Nagisa back. Causing Nagisa to fall in the sand. Nagisa quickly spun around grabbing Pandora’s cloak. “I’m going to beat you.” Nagisa stated, Pandora kicked her off and jumped at her. Nagisa moved her sword hitting Pandora in the side as she pins her to the ground causing Pandora to fall to the ground dropping the sword on the ground with a plup. They stared at each other for a while before Nagisa moved to sits up. She flashed a huge warm smile “I Win.” she giggled. Nagisa’s flames slowly appeared on her arms. Pandora's eyes went wide in shock as her tail shot up, and her fur spiking.
“Nagisa, your on fire!” Pandora yelled.
Nagisa looks down at her arms covered in flames “..but they don’t burn.” Nagisa said.
“So you really can use fire magic?”
“Yes..”Nagisa mumbled
“I think I have an understanding of your magic, since it’s not unlocked my emotions trigger my magic, right now your happy so it triggered it, you were angry and sad and you need to protect us, you made that barrier.” Pandora explained.
“Interesting..” Pandora replied as flames around Nagisa disappeared.
“Nagisa i want to try and train your flames” Pandora explained
“Now i want you to close your eyes” Pandora stated
Nagisa nodded as she closed her eyes,sitting down as the hot sand warmed her. Pandora’s tail laid on the sand peacefully and her ears were relaxed.
“Now I want to imagine your happiest memory and use it as anchor to trigger your Flames...” Pandora whispered.
‘The only happy memory i have…. Is when i’m with Pandora…’ Nagisa thought as she thought back to memory of Pandora saying they were friends and a tiny flame appeared around her hand. The heat warmed hand soft causing Nagisa to opened her eyes. “It’s so tiny...” Nagisa muttered.
“Your still learning so it’s okay, soon that tiny flame will spark into a big flame, but we need to find you a better teacher. I’m not the best to teach you about magic.” Pandora explained
“Is magic not common?” Nagisa asked
“No Magic is pretty common but there’s fifty percent of people who don’t have it.'' Pandora explained standing up and stretching.
“Lot of people have to use a spellbook before they can fully control the magic on it’s own, you’re an exception as your ‘The Star Child’, but you still have problems with control.” Pandora explained.
“Well i’m going to practice until I can use unlock my flames and use them with control and protect you from that Kaze.” Nagisa said determined.
Pandora blushed softly as she looked away “I can protect myself dumbass.. Besides you won fair and square i’ll take my cloak of as promised.” Pandora replied pulling off her cloak and letting it fall onto the soft sand. Nagisa’s cheeks become red as she stared at Pandora’s pale strong body.
“Wow, your so beautiful Pan… I never knew your boobs were so big..” Nagisa said in wonder. Pandora felt caught off guard “What the hell are you saying dumbass?!” Pandora yelled as Nagisa hugged her softly. She flinched but the warmth she felt when she first hugged Nagisa it felt homely. “Relax Pan…” Nagisa whispered.
Pandora’s arm wrapped Nagisa around returning the hug. “I thought you didn’t like hugs?” Nagisa smiled.
“I...I guess if it was you… I wouldn’t mind it much...” Pandora whispered. Pandora’s tail wagged slowly as they held the embrace for a little bit. Nagisa eyes open her eyes softly, catching a slightly dark mark on Pandora’s right breast.
“What is that?” Nagisa asked touching it slightly.
“A birthmark… Nothing special...” Pandora repiled
Nagisa pulled her top down a bit showing her left chest a bit. “I had a similar one, but it’s on my left..” Nagisa explained touching the birthmark shaped like a star. Pandora and Nagisa stayed quiet for a while, staring at each other a bit lovingly, as if they had a connection.
“Will, what do you want to do?” Pandora asked breaking the silence.
“Oh, let’s make a sand castle!” Nagisa said excited.
“Are you a princess?” Pandora teased as Pandora unscatched her claws.“What are you doing?” Nagisa asked
“Digging? Makes it more easier without a shovel.” Pandora explained
Pandora started to dig using her claws quickly. when she was done she turned to Nagisa “what do you want to build?”she asked
Nagisa thought for a second. “A castle?” Nagisa asked.
“A castle, huh? How come?” Pandora asked as she gets up and heads to where their stuff was. “Here to make the stuff for the castle” Pandora explained tossing a small bucket over.
They both worked on it, adding details and making it bigger. Almost as big as Nagisa. Nagisa pause for a second looking at the small balcony. Nagisa felt nostalgia, but couldn’t place it. Pandora reached over and place and small sand person on the balcony.
“Who is that?” Nagisa asked.
“You.”Pandora stated. “Well if you made me...” Nagisa muttered reaching for more sand. “...Then i should make you.” Nagisa smiled.
“There, my Pandora.” Nagisa laughed.
“Your ‘Pandora’? Like a bodyguard?” Pandora asked confused.
“What’s a princess without her Bodyguard?” Nagisa asked.
“Sounds perfect!” Pandora smiled her canines showing
Nagisa felt a flash hit her head. A woman with white armor was standing next to her. She was saying something, but she couldn’t hear her.
“Hey, are you okay?” Pandora asked concerned her ears folded back
“I’m fine.” Nagisa ressured ‘What was that? I remember it, but I also don’t..’
“You scared me.” Pandora said as her ears went back up.
“Let’s go swimming.” Nagisa said taking Pandora hands in her own
Both of them went into the cold water, feeling refreshed from being in the hot sun.
“It’s cold!” Nagisa whimpered as she clung to Pandora.
“It’s not that bad.” Pandora laughed as she splashed Nagisa.
Nagisa screamed as she hit by cold water.
“I’ll get ya!” Nagisa yelled splashing water back at Pandora.
A mile away a Portal opened up, shimmering as Yami walked out of it and onto a fishing boat in the ocean. There sat three old men on the boat, one of them were sleeping.
“What the hell?!” a man closest to her yelled.
Yami stabbed the man in his throat letting his eyes widen as he coughed blood as he fell off the boat dead with a splash.
“Holy f*****g hell!!” One of The Fisherman yelled in horror.
“I’m here for your boat, King Aku’s orders.” Yami stated
“Aku?! That Bastard killed my Family like hell i’ll give him my boat!” The Fisherman growled.
“As his daughter I must do as I am told.” She stated. He took out on the sword on his belt. “I’ll kill his daughter and make him feel what I felt!” he yelled as Yami covered the boat with dark mist and stabbed him in the back “There’s something you should know…. my Father doesn’t give a s**t about what happens to me...” Yami said pushing the knife deeper into the Man’s back in till she hit his heart then pulling it out as man collapsed on the ground. The Last Man eyes open in shock in fear. tears formed in the corners of his eyes.
“Please...-”He begged shaking his head slowly Yami Pressed the knife on the mans chest and pushed it into his heart. Yami pulled it out then took out a device and a magical spell appears as the device glows i have the boat but the men weren’t willing to cooperate..” Yami stated.
“Good work Yami,underneath you should be near the ‘Leviathan’. They are the ruler and protector of the ocean, it has been asleep for thousands of years. If one was to threaten the ocean it will wake up.” Yami explained. “Anger it. Send a powerful spell of Darkness into The Ocean and Injury it.” Aku order.
“Understood.” Yami replied a bit worried. Darkness wrapped around her arms covering and overflowing. Tears formed in her black eyes as she slammed her hands into the boat causing darkness moves down the dark sea until Hit the Leviathan in the left side.There was a loud roar as The Leviathan raised out of the water. It was a light blue sea dragon with seaweed and barnacles armoring it. It’s eyes were light green and slitted, it fins were on its back, head and tail, it flippers for arms and legs on its body to help it move and it had Yami horrified as she opens a portal of darkness and goes through it and goes through it quickly. It roared again as it tail hits the boat sending hurling the boat. Pandora jumps at Nagisa wrapping her arms around her as she jumps out of the way. The boat hitting the sand with a thud. Pandora were folded down as her ears hearing people on the beach screaming at seeing a monster.
“s**t that’s a Leviathan!!!” Pandora yelled.
“What’s a Leviathan?” Nagisa questioned.
“He protects the ocean and isn't a fan of being attacked, someone must have pissed it off...”Pandora explained. Pandora ran to her bag on the blanket and pulled a Dagger from it as she stood against the monster. The Leviathan roared as it’s tail hit the water sending water at the beach soaking everyone and destroying the sand castle they made. Pandora eyes look blank as her expression was one of unamusement. Everyone else started to run away.
“What an asshole I just made that!” Pandora yelled annoyed. “Your Dead you Bastard!”
Nagisa Heard a sad voice. “it Hurts ,It Hurts!” It cried. “Pan! Someones in trouble!!” Nagisa yelled moving her hair away from her face. “Wat?” Pandora yelled back “It Hurts!” It cried out again.
Nagisa gasped softly as she realize it was the giant dragon like thing crying for help. “Pan! I think it’s hurt!” Nagisa yelled as another crash of water fell onto them.
Pandora face shifted to confusion “What the f**k are you saying?” she asked wiping her face.
“The Levithan I heard he spoke, Pan it’s in pain!” Nagisa explained.
“Pan you need to get Akasuki! He can help it!” Nagisa stated.
“Nagisa i-” Pandora question
“Pan Please!” Nagisa interrupted also in a pleading voice. Pandora didn’t want to leave Nagisa alone with a Leviathan,but she trusted her. As she ran, she picked up her cloak disappearing into the forest. Nagisa turned to the Leviathan “You’ll be okay! I promise you! You are not to blame!” Nagisa yelled and reassured.
The Leviathan turned to Nagisa it’s slitted eyes slightly calming down and looked confused as tears made its beautiful eyes shimmer. “You can hear me...?” it asked scared.
“Yes! I'm Nagisa! What’s your name?” Nagisa yelled as she flashed a warm grin.
“I’m Kaiyō The King and Protector Of this ocean..” Kaiyo replied sadly.
“What happened?” Nagisa asked as he swam closer to her.
“I don’t know… I was asleep and suddenly a sharp pain in my side” Kaiyo cried laying down next to Nagisa as his tail floated in the sea.
Nagisa petted him “ You’ll be okay..”
After 30 minutes Pandora came back with Akatsuki who’s tail fluffed up nervously when he saw how big Kaiyō was.
“Have you treated leviathans or animals before?” Nagisa asked.
“Bunnies or so nothing like him” Akasuki said shyly “,But this shouldn’t be a problem..” Akasuki’s eyes followed Kaiyō lines.
Akasuki pulled out herbs from his basket “ Would you mind if I go on top of you… You’re a bit tall..” Akasuki asked quietly. “Go ahead.” He smiled. Akasuki took off his boot as Nagisa and Pandora helped him up. Akasuki carefully walked to the injured area and began tending to Kaiyō wound. Pandora Pulls Nagisa into a hug wrapping her arms around Nagisa’s waist. Nagisa eyes went wide in shock.
“Wha?” Nagisa stated shock.
“I was worried about you,I didn't want to leave you alone here, but I trust you.” Pandora stated as she moved back. After an hour Akasuki hopped down onto the soft sand. “You should be okay, but next time you go to sleep, try to be under something.” Akasuki advised shyly. Kaiyō nodded his head in respect at the shy fox as he turned to Nagisa.
“Thank you, Akasuki and Star Child.”Kaiyō smiled
“You know that i’m the Star Child?” Nagisa puzzled.
“The Star Child is the only one who can understand any and all creatures.” Kaiyō explained.
Kaiyo yawned “So tired.. It's time for me to rest my dear children. farewell Star child, thank you.” Kaiyo smiled as he dove underwater vanishing beneath.
“Thank you for the help Akatsuki!” Nagisa smiled jumping onto him and hugging him.
“N-No Problem,Thank you... for the company for these few weeks, if you need me just ask.” Ataskuki smiled waving and turning back to head home.
“What do you want to do now? I know a quaint little Ice Cream Nearby?” Pandora asked.
“Yes Please!” Nagisa yelled happily.
Pandora flashed a small grin “Perfect~” before they went for Ice cream they changed into their clothes. Pandora ordered them both of their ice Cream, Nagisa had gotten Strawberry one and Pandora gotten chocolate ice cream. she walked over to Nagisa sitting down next to her. they both sat outside the small store that showed off the center of the town. They both enjoyed the ice cream in silence when Nagisa spoke,
“This is nice, your only friend i have ever had...” Nagisa smiled looking down at her ice cream.
Pandora raised her eyebrows “Oh..? I would have thought you’ve had a lot of friends sense your so cheerful...”
“Tanaka wouldn’t let me have any friends…. he got super angry once when i was paired up at a guy for a science project. he started accusing me of cheating on him and hit me. He forbid me from talking to any other guy, I ended up failing that project..” Nagisa explained. “Soon he wouldn’t let me speak to girls either…”
“Asshole...” Pandora muttered.
“I guess you’re my first friend, too. Sad I got such a dumbass friend though..” Pandora teased.
Nagisa laughed “I’m glad i’m your first, too.”
Pandora smiled back.
Yami fell to the floor and cough up blood. “You Failed me Yami!” Aku yelled in rage as he got up from his throne towering over his daugher
“I'm sorry father i didn’t know!” Yami explained. “You’re a failure!”
Aku placed his hand on Yami’s head as he pushed down on it implying a lot of pressure”I don’t want to hear your Excuses, you should’ve stayed there just it case!!” Aku snarled. “But i would have…” “Quiet!!!” He yelled.
“Kaze!” Aku said dropping his hand from Yami’s head “Yes Sir...” Kaze asked as he bowed.
“You have my Permission to get rid of the Star Child and Her Fleabag.” Aku ordered. Kaze smirked “with pleasure~”
Nagisa and Pandora walked back to the Inn chatting a bit, until they were stopped by Kaze who stood in front of them and smirked “did you miss me? He asked.
