Crimson Rose

»♥«Diciannove: For Milady

Scarlett's POV

Ningky dash toward Nogitsune with incredible speed before kicking his gut. This send Nogitsune crashing into the wall. He jumped on his feet before meeting Ningky half way, when Ningky charge at him again.

When I was watching Ningky fight I saw from the corner of my eyes Bennett's chain was about to wrapped itself around my leg. Before I could swing my scythe, an ice spear impaled the chain to the ground. Turning it into ice before it crumble to the ground.

"Don't you dare touch Milady, human. You have to focus on me" Ningky was glaring dagger at Bennett, while he just smiled at Ningky. "You okay there Milady?" He asked with concern dripping from his voice.

"I'm okay Ningky. You know I'm not made from glass. I'm more than capable to handle him myself".

Using his ice katana, Ningky is blocking all Nogitsune attack without any difficulty. "I know but I'm just worry about you Milady. Don't be angry at me".

Ningky touch the ground with his left hand and turned the ground where Nogitsune and Bennett standing into ice, they slipped from the slippery ice floor. But Nogitsune regains his balance in an instant. While Bennett stood up slowly using his chain to support him. Bennett use his chain to tie Ningky up before Nogitsune attack him with his katana. Nogitsune manage to land a few blow which resulting Ningky white jacket have a few red spot from where he was stabbed.

"Cat got your tongue now Ningky? Or you just admit defeat" Bennett said. He look as Nogitsune send blow after blow at Ningky. Nogitsune's katana was on the ground beside him. Ningky didn't said anything but just smirk. I think it make something inside Bennett snap because he command Nogitsune to finish Ningky off. "It was fun playing with you but the one I want to fight was not you but Scarlett. I hope you enjoy playing with me, so bye" Bennett still have smile plastering on his face.

Nogitsune raised his katana no doubt he about to slice Ningky again or stab him. I was about to step in when a gush of cold wind blew and send me a few meters from where I stood before. At the same time, I saw Bennett and Nogitsune was the same as me. They were pushed back by the cold wind.

"Don't be silly human. I'm not near satisfy playing with you, this just a warm up to me" emerge from the icy cold mist was Ningky.

His body was free from any wounds and bruises where Nogitsune inflict on him. His white jacket have also turned to it original state, there is none red spot on the jacket.

"I know Nogitsune have inflict some damaged on you but where are they?" Bennett voice was not panic or scared. If my guess was right, it sound like he was fascinated with the thing happen to Ningky.

Ningky swing his katana and send Nogitsune freeze to the wall. All part his body was covered in ice except his head. He growl and tried to free himself. But the ice was solid he can't even moving his finger.

"Yes he did. But that because...I let you. I was thinking when you land blow after blow at me. If I use my full power to handle small fry like you, it will damaged my image in Milady's eyes" Ningky tile his head to the side "Beside no doubt that those guys will laugh at me when they knew about that".

Ningky start to attack Bennett using his katana but Bennet block all the attack using his chain as a shield. He try to refrain Ningky from making any movement but it was no luck. Ningky dodge all the chains with ease.

Bennett look over at Nogitsune who was still trap with the ice. "I was surprised to see that your ice can withstand Nogitsune monstrous strength".

"You call that monstrous strength?" Ningky chuckled. "Sorry to disappoint you human. But my ice lock was special. It was not easily break because it have my will as its core. You can try anything but as long as my will to do anything for Milady still stand and didn't waver. You'll not break my ice lock easily even using fire it will not melt. Human I want to apologize in advance" Ningky smirk didn't sit well with me. I hope he remember what I said about no killing or I'll have to interfere the fight between both of them.

Bennett look at Ningky with confusion "For what?".

"For this" Ningky make many ice spears appear like before.

With the snap of his finger, the spears move as fast as bullet and start attacking Bennett. He tried to keep up with the attack but Bennett was pushed back to the wall. All his chains was impaled to the ground. Bennett tried to do some sneak attack at Ningky but the result was same as before. The chains was froze and impaled to the ground. Both of Bennett wrists was lock to the wall with ice spear on both side of his wrists. Both his leg was the same state as his wrists including his torso.

"I thought you would do the same thing as you did to Nogitsune to me" Bennett said. He look at both his wrists and legs.

"I want to do that but I remember that Milady told me,if a human was exposed to low temperature for a long time it will lead to hypothermia. Which also can lead to death and Milady said she didn't want any lost live today. That's why I didn't do the ice lock on you. Beside It's not like I can't do it later".

"So what're you gonna do to me? I can't to anything and I doubt Nogitsune will get out of the ice anytime soon. You can't kill me because I don't think Scarlett would like that idea" Bennett look at me,while I was walking to stand beside Ningky.

"Yeah I don't like the idea of you killing a human Ningky" I added standing beside Ningky.

Ningky look down at me. "So what do you want me to do now Milady?".

"Ask Bennett to call Nogitsune back and make him surrender. I think that's all we need to do now" I start to feel dizzy and I know the reason why. But I can't passed out before Bennett gave up. I need to get hold of myself. Turning the scythe back to a pin before putting it on my hair.

Ningky look at Bennett "You heard what Milady said. Do it" but Bennett just keep his mouth seal and just stare at Ningky. He make an ice spear appear on both of his hand before stab it on either side of Bennett throat "Said it. I don't have time playing some petty game with you. I need to spent some time with Milady".

"Okay fine. Nogitsune you can go back now" with that being said Nogitsune nodded his head and turn to smoke. "I gave up. Scarlett win" Bennett sighing.

Siren sounds signaling the end of our sparring match. "With Bennett gave up, the winner is Scarlett".

Ningky clap his hand once making the ice evaporate into the thin air. And the simulation room turned back from the Colosseum. I help Bennett stand when he fall down to the ground.

"Need a help?".

Bennet take my hand that i offer "Thank you Scarlett. I have to said that you are worthy opponent" Bennett grab both of my shoulder.

Ningky growled at Bennett and hug my shoulder "Keep your hand to yourself human".

I just laugh it off. We walk out of the simulation room. When we saw the other, I start to have a headache. I tried to endure it and act like nothing happen.

"You are cool out there Mistress" Xavier run to me.

Shawn follow Xavier running at me "My Princess can kick ass".

Both of them was about to hug me but Ningky growl at them make them stop on their spot. "Don't touch Milady with your hand, human. The like of you don't deserve to touch her".

"Why are you even here?" Shawn glare at Ningky.

Staring match begin between Shawn, Xavier and Ningky. Ningky have let go of my shoulder to glaring dagger at Shawn and Xavier. I want to laugh at the situation but the headache become more intense that I broke into cold sweat and black cloud start to invade my vision. That's not a good sign. I rubbed my temple tried to ease some of the headache and blink a few time to clear my vision. I hope no one noticed my state.

I think Hunter saw what I was doing and asked "Um, Scarlett are you okay? You look kinda pale".

"Milady are you okay?" Ningky look at my face "Your face is pale Milady. Did you eat your medicine yet?".

I tried to give Ningky a smile "I...um...forget to eat it today" I winced when the headache come. I lost strength on both legs and fall to the ground. The other want to touch me but out of nowhere ice wall appear and separating us. I just hold my head in my hand. I become more dizzier than before and the headache become worse. "The medicine was at the last draw on the left bedside" with that I feel unconscious.

I can feel someone caught me before I hit the ground.

Ningky's POV

I change from my battle mood to normal mood. Which also meant my clothes and physical feature also change. Dark purple fur hoodie jacket and blue jacket with white T-shirt paring it with blue jeans. In this form I was shorter than my battle mood. Even Scarlett was taller than me but that didn't meant I can't carry her.

"Hey what are you doing?" a redheaded dude asked me.

The ice wall I make separate Scarlett and I from the other 5 human guys. Not that I care we're separated.

I carry Scarlett bridal style. "What do you meant what I was doing? I'm taking care of Milady".

"So what with the ice wall" the glasses guy motion to the ice wall that separating us right now.

I raised my eyebrow. "I don't think I need to answer a question from a human like you".

I don't know why Rei put Scarlett with this guys. I can protect Scarlett perfectly fine on my own.

The guy from the battle, Bennett look at me. More like to Scarlett actually. "Is Scarlett okay? She look pale".

"You don't have to worry about Milady because that is my duty. Just show me where her room is" I look at them through the ice wall.

A blue hair guy with blue and red eyes said "I don't think we can do that" I think he have heterochromia.

"why did you say that?" are they playing with me? One second they asked if Scarlett gonna be okay and now he said that.

"Er...as you can see, your ice wall block our way from going to the door behind you" redhead say pointing to the ice wall.

I mentally face palm myself. Thanks God Scarlett is unconscious or I'll be embarrass. I snap my finger and the ice wall disappear. "Now show me the way" I let them lead the way by walking behind them.

On the way to Scarlett's room the heterochromia guy ask me "Do you need any help carrying Mistress? Because you are short I don't think you're comfortable carrying her".

"I'm stronger than I look you know. I may look short for now but I can freeze you to death in a second if I want to. You're lucky that milady are in this team or I have freeze you guy to death by now for saying those thing to me. From now on watch what you said human. Who know what will happen if Milady are not here" I look ahead. I didn't make any eye contact with any of them.

It's not that I'm scared or anything it just I don't want to start any conversation. For now my top priority is Scarlett that is unconscious in my arms. The guys didn't say anything but sneak a glance at Scarlett once in a while.

Finally we arrived in front of Scarlett's room. I put her on the bed before walking the left bedside table. I open the last drawer and take out the bottle full of pink pills. There also a few bottle of mineral water inside the drawer. I took one of the mineral water and put it on the table beside the bottle of pills.

"I didn't know that Scarlett have those pills on her drawer" glasses guy said.

"Is that a drug?" says the redhead.

Bennett enter the conversation "I don't think Scarlett into drug" the heterochromia guy agree with Bennett.

I just ignored their conversation. I look at the bottle,the pill and Scarlett. Because Scarlett is unconscious right now I don't think Scarlett will swallow the pill if I put it inside her mouth. But don't think if I put the bottle on her lips she will drank it either. If I forcefully make her drank the water there is a chance she will choke on the water. So it leave me no choice to give her the water directly from my mouth.

I took one of the pink pill and open the mineral bottle "I'll do anything for Milady" I take a sip from the bottle. I put the bottle to the side. Putting the pill inside Scarlett's mouth, I then kiss her to transfer the water.
