[quote=AbigailTenshi] Fumio suddenly turned around, stopping Souta in his tracks. Fumio smiled at Souta before the latter nodded, bracing himself as he retracted his Crystal Spikes back into his body. Dropping to his knees, Souta hunched froward while placing his palms on the floor, breathing heavily. Fumio looked down at Souta, frowning. If only Souta wasn't such a softy he wouldn't have to go through this pain... Fumio then turned back around. The odd-looking couple seemed closer than earlier, plus they were heading straight for him and Souta, waving at them. Fumio asked, raising an eyebrow as Souta slowly stood up and sheathed his blade. Taking a look at the strangers, Souta shook his head. Fumio glanced back at Souta before looking at the girl who began talking. Fumio's voice was smooth, unaffected by the girl's taunts since he'd hardly let others he didn't know nor care for make him angry. Souta, however, looked at the two in slight shock... He didn't expect them to know Hozumi at all, but why? What did Hozumi do to deserve a fate like that? Souta's temper was slowly raising however he held it down while keeping his mouth shut. Fumio could handle this, he was the more calmer one out of the two of them... well... in these sort of situations. [/quote] "Ohhh my, quite the smooth talker huh? I guess I'll waste my time if I taunt you more, it seems someone else has already ticked you off. Hopefully he put you in your place" She said, letting out a small giggle afterwards. She then turned her attention to Souta as Fumio . She smirked "You're probably wondering why a child deserves such a fate? Well it's simple, because he was born. His presence, his existence is nothing but a parasite of this universe. He shouldn't exist, and I'm gonna make sure that happens. I guess both of you have something in common" She looked into Soutas eyes as she spoke "Both of you have nowhere where you belong" She said, with a delightful but twisted smile. "But I know his mother is up ahead, we were gonna go pay her a visit actually. She's going to be a fun test subje-" Ragnarok cut her off, speaking up [b]"I think you've told them enough"[/b] Lahel sighed, turning away from the two and looking back at Ragnarok "You're right, I wanted to try setting one of them off but it looks like it isn't working"
