Sukiro stretches his arms as if he was pulling in for a massive hug, even though he woke up thirty minutes ago
He slowly walks out putting on his best I just woke up face
"Good morning guys…??"
"What happened?" he asked in confusion
"I already know what happened but gotta act innocent" he grins talking to himself
"Elijah happened" klaus spoke sighing, drying his hair
"What did he do this time?" sukiro groaned
"He got his ass kicked by me is the correct answer" he smirked again talking to himself
"He was pulling a prank on you and it backfired and he ended up destroying the tents again" sapphire yelled as she was making the breakfast
"Seriously!?" sukiro exclaimed his hand covering his month from the news
He looked over at Elijah sobbing while cleaning up the mess
Sukiro smirked looking at him
"Honestly Elijah, what did you think you were doing?" Sebastian muttered, handing the spices over to sapphire
"Thanks" she smiled
Sebastian smiled back
Sapphire paused mid-stir, a hint of red flashing on her before she cleared her throat like nothing happened
Sebastian whipped his hands as he walked towards sukiro
"Apparently he was training you by waking you up with cold water to show you you should always have your guard up" he muttered tired
"But somehow it ended up backfiring" he sighed
"Well he got a taste of his own magic huh!" sukiro laughed
Elijah slowly turned his head towards sukiro muttering to himself
"What are you looking at?!" sukiro yelled "clean that up, then we can talk" he smiled
"Sebastain!!!" sapphire yelled, calling him
"Well that's my cue, sukiro can you wrap your tent up" sebastian said already hurrying off
Sukiro gave him a thumbs up
He slowly looked around to see if there was anybody else..
He walked over to elijah and whispered "i was awake the whole time.., and i was the one who used the wind magic to send you flying" he smirked
"You pie-" elijah yelled trying to grab him
"Sapphire!!! Elijah is beating me!!" sukiro screamed dramatically so
"Elijah!!!, if you lay your hands on him, then you won't have your hands!!" sapphire yelled back from the kitchen
Sukiro smiled smugly "what are you gonna do now?" he muttered mocking him "are you gonna bite me? Doggy?" he backed off laughing
"These kids…" sapphire sighed as she cleaned her hands
"Tell about it.." sebastian groaned
And then utter silence..
Sapphire looked at him but sebastian already was
Silence..
And then laughter, it echoed throughout the forest both laughing like idiots at their situation
Finally the food is prepared
The party sits down for the meal, sukiro just done with his stretching and elijah wrapped up his cleaning
"So what's our plan for the day" sukiro spoke as he sat down
"I was thinking we could get your rank checked after all its been a while" sapphire replied
"What do you say suki..ro?" sapphire held her words back confused
Meanwhile sukiro stared at his food as if he just witnessed the greatest tragedy in history
Sapphire sighed, she knew exactly what was up
"Sapphire this… this is broccoli?!" sukiro said his voice backed with sheer horror
Elijah cried in relief he hated broccoli as well, but he wasn't alone
Sirius looked at the food, his face disgusted at the sight he saw..
"Sukiro!" sapphire said excitedly "you know broccoli is necessary for the greatest of warriors don't you?!" she yelled as if this was the last speech of a warrior
"But Sirius said that you just make that up so that i eat it…" sukiro mumbled his voice pleading
Sapphire slowly looked over at Sirius, her face twisting her smile screamed that she would literally eat him
Sirius backed down and he spoke up hurriedly "that was just a joke, sukiro! I was just playing around broccoli is the greatest of vegetables"
"See, sirius was just playing around sukiro now eat up those veges if you want to be the strongest hunter ever" sapphire smiled
Sukiro sighed in defeat "I do want to be the strongest hunter.. Guess i have no choice" he thought
He slowly picked it, swallowed his throat and ate it .. his face turned blue.. Pale as the sea
Elijah and Sirius cried in defeat, now that the kid ate it they had no choice but to eat as well
The clouds watched over them for another day.. The winds picked their pace up
And before they knew it they had arrived at the guild hall
It was time to check sukiro's rank…
They party slowly walked into the hall
All the eyes were on them, after all they were the S-rank party, famous around the kingdom
Sukiro held his breath, he was sweating, fidgeting his hands from nervousness
It was the moment of truth..
"So what can I do for you today?" the receptionist asked as she fumbled through the dozens of papers
"We need to get a rank checked" Sebastian spoke leaning towards the desk
The receptionist looked up her face lighted with a sense of familiarity
"Sir Sebastian! It's been quite some time since you visited us!" she gleamed with excitement
"Wow sapphire isn't sebastian quite popular?" elijah whispered in her ear as he smirked
"I mean he is just talking" sapphire replied confused
"How have you been?!, i hope everything's good" the receptionist smiled at him
"You know how its been, some days pass by while some days seem like years" sebastian spoke, still leaning on the table
The conversation kept going and going
Eventually it had been five whole minutes..
And then a aura hit sebastian harder than any monster has ever hit him
A terrifying aura..
He turned around slowly, and found sapphire looking at him..
Her hands were folded, her face twisting from anger as she tried to maintain her fake smile
"Sebastian wolf…." a voice roared echoing through the walls of the hall
"I think you have forgotten what we came here for" she glared at him
"Sebastian smiled nervously, "Of course not!' in fact we are supposed to check in next!"
"I sure do hope so" she smiled as her eyes twitched
"He is in for it now.." elijah thought as he grinned
"Oh boy." klaus whispered to sirius
Meanwhile Sirius had gained a sudden interest in the spider in the ceiling
"Next!"
Sebastian smiled as his life was saved
"Sukiro, come on let's go in now" he pushed sukiro into the room
There stood the fated crystal..
The same one that showed E-rank to him months ago..
Sukiro took a deep breath as he closed his eyes, his fist tightened
All the moments of hardship, training, blood and sweat came flowing back into his mind..
Then a soft gentle hand touched his shoulder
sapphire smiled at him, a real genuine smile, no words were needed..
Sukiro felt at easy, he moved towards the crystal ball
His hand raised slowly, his eyes flashed with power
His hand landed on the giant crystal ball
Everything went quiet, the ball was to silent
The party looked over in confusion, the analyst nearby stood waiting
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
A siren went off, so loud that everyone present in the guild had to cover their ears
S-RANK…..
