38 Chapter 31: A girl's secret is sacred

Eris arrived at the Temple of Pride Carrying the Corpse of Corvus on her Nevermore pet...

She knelt in front of the man in the throne...

A masked man, wearing a white Roman Toga.

But beneath the mask you could feel he was Beautiful beyond belief...

Beneath his clothes you could sense his power pulsating... lying dormant waiting to explode...

He was Pride.

He was the leader of all Sins...

He stared at Eris first, then he looked at the corpse of Corvus.

Pride pointed at the Corpse of Corvus.

Eris looked up, she explained what happened, or what she saw at least.

She started telling Pride about Haruki...

"Although he may have killed Gluttony and Corvus, I am more than enough to kill him my Lord..."

Pride waved his arms signaling Eris to stop, "Yes... you may be stronger than him, but so was Gluttony or Corvus...

it wouldn't hurt to take extra precaution, you wouldn't want to disappoint me now do you?"

He asked with a grave tone.

Eris shuddered not because of prides anger, but fear of disappointing him.

Pride then told her to Bring Corvus to Sloths Laboratory.

"He might still be of some use... go bring him to Aergia, she would probably be delighted."

Pride motioned his arms towards the door, "Take them with you..."

As he spoke a shadowy figure of four appeared...

Eris stared at Pride, "But my Lord I'm more than- -"

Pride raised his hands. "Enough! you will do what I tell you to child!"

Eris shrank back, afraid to fight back. Biting her lips she turned around,.and walked away...

Before she went away the four spoke... simultaneously.

""Mistress... we are happy to serve...""

They followed Eris towards her destination...

They were headed to Vale...

.....

Back at beacon Haruki was interrogating...

Light was flickering in the room.

He was sitting across the alleged Suspect.

He leaned in close, He told the perpetrator

"I'm not the enemy...

Not all authority will disappoint you.

Not all parents leave.

But be very clear, this is your last chance...

Your next words will define your future."

The perpetrator just stared at him, not speaking a word.

He slammed the table, "Damnit Zwei! Did you or did you not eat my chicken..."

Haruki was Held back by Ruby, "Hey! Hey! calm down..."

Haruki turned around he let Ruby handle it.

She sat beside Zwei, "I'm not your enemy, but you see my partner over there... he's a loose cannon. So if you're as smart as me, you'd better confess."

*Arf Arf*

Ruby put on her shades, "There you go chief! the suspect said he was guilty."

Haruki glared at zwei, And as he was about to read zwei his Miranda rights, Blake entered the room.

"What are you two doing? Why are the lights so dim?"

Ruby responded while tipping her imaginary hat.

"You're alright doll, but... this ain't no place for a pretty face like you to be snoopin' around..."

Blake looked at Haruki for help, Haruki shrugged his shoulders and just played along with Ruby.

He sat at the table and said, "This place is very dangerous Missy, a lot of hardened criminals roamin' about..."

Blake rolled her eyes at the two of them.

"Why don't you just tell me what's going on!?"

Ruby laughed, "We were reenacting a scene from a movie we saw at the cinema, awhile ago."

She moved her arms like an arc of a rainbow as if showing the title to Blake.

"The Wrong Person"

Blake sighed and asked them, "I didn't know you two hung out."

Ruby puffed her cheeks, "Hey! that's rude! Haruki is one of my first friends here in beacon! and yes we hang out sometimes!"

Blake chuckled, "Geez, relax... I thought you'd be busier Haruki especially with the whole Neo,Pyrrha, Emerald, Cinder situation..."

Blake said sarcastically...

Haruki scratched his head, "They all went out without me... apparently it's a girl's day out."

"He had nowhere else to go, so I dragged him along for a movie! I asked Weiss first and she said no, so I'm stuck with him."

Blake opened a book and sat down on the bed, "Alright, you two have fun, I'm going to read here..."

Ruby tilted her head, and asked Blake, "Are you sure? we might be a little noisy, you might get distracted while reading."

Blake looked at Haruki and her face turned red. "No it's fine, and besides someone has to keep an eye on you two so you don't go too far."

Ruby protested. "This is injustice! I demand the passage of maximum hijinks!!"

Haruki nodded his head at the background.

Ruby put on a fake moustache, "Captain... I find Blake guilty of being quite the buzzkill."

Haruki turned serious, "alright bring her here..."

Ruby dragged Blake into the interrogation chair.

"Wha- - Hey!!" She tried to escape Ruby But she used her semblance to catch Blake.

She sat across Haruki, And Haruki stared straight into her eyes.

He leaned in close...

Blake closed her eyes and she also leaned in...

She waited for it, but when she opened her eyes she saw Ruby staring at her weirdly.

"Uhh, Blake? what are you doing?"

Blake looked around and She saw Haruki inspecting her book.

She was blushing hard, Ruby then realized why Blake was so fidgety. "Ahh!! Could it be-"

Before she could finish Blake covered her mouth, but Ruby struggled and she signaled Haruki, waving her arms around randomly.

Haruki responded with a signal of his own, confusing Ruby...

She then escaped the clutches of Blake, she ran towards the back of Haruki and told him.

"Don't read that!! that's filth! Blake is reading something filthy!"

She took the book away from Harukis Hand.

"Huh!? Wait a minute this is not Ninjas of Love? Then why are you so fidgety?"

Blake covered her face from embarrassment.

As they were causing a ruckus, Weiss entered the room.

She saw Ruby and Haruki laughing, while Blake was covering her face in embarrassment.

Weiss wondered what happened, She tried to ask Blake but she was too embarrassed to answer...

Sighing she sat down on her desk, and opened her books while Haruki and Ruby were teasing Blake.

As she looked at her textbook, and found a problem that was confusing her... she thought about asking Blake, but she was distracted... so she looked at Haruki to ask about the problem.

"Uhh, Haruki can I ask you something?"

Haruki stopped on whatever shenanigans he and Ruby were doing.

Haruki nodded and pointed at her book.

"is it about that book?"

Weiss smiled and said...

"Yes, I don't understand this particular part of the problem."

Haruki approached her desk, He leaned in close behind Weiss, Making her blush.

"Oh, this one yeah... I get why this is confusing."

He said as he got closer to her face, almost whispering.

Weiss looked at Haruki's well featured face.

Smiling she asked even more questions even though she wasn't having trouble on it, noticing this Blake also asked Haruki about what books he could recommend to her, trying to interrupt Weiss at all cost.

Ruby being ignored on the side used her semblance to pull Haruki.

"I was supposed to hang out with him today! both of you back off!!"

She said while puffing her cheeks.

Weiss and Blake said at the same time, "We're just asking about something!"

Ruby retorted, "You to have been fighting over him for an hour already!" She put on her fake moustache and dragged Haruki outside to another set of her crazy hijinks.

Blake and Weiss were surprised on how long they hogged Haruki.

Weiss was the first one to break the silence, she said in a voice that is almost like a whisper...

"...I won't lose next time..."

Blake scoffed at her, "Same..."

The two sat back reading and asking about the problems in their textbooks, but they were preparing for the deciding battle...

Ruby and Haruki met up with Jaune, to do more crazy things... they spiked professor Ooblecks coffee with Adrenaline...

Causing a major incident in the school, which got them a major scolding from Ozpin...

He returned back to his room to find his women back and giggling...

"Ohh, hey you guys are back! How was your day?"

They looked at each other and laughed, much to Haruki's confusion.

They all said at the same time.

""That's a Secret!""

Haruki unsatisfied by their answers Grabbed all of them one by one and tickled them.

The first one He grabbed was Pyrrha, she was the most honest so she was the obvious choice, but she just laughed while clinging to Haruki.

He then Grabbed Emerald, but she used her Hallucination to escape, So Haruki used lightning form to catch her.

"Hehehe, little lamb, won't you tell me what happened?"

She just smiled smugly and pulled Haruki in for an embrace, she then kissed him on the cheeks. "Bad wolf, don't you know, that is a sacred secret between women?"

Haruki sighed so he looked at Cinder...

He dashed towards her, New to this kind of feeling, Cinder didn't know how to act...She searched her memories on what to do, then she suddenly realized she could base it on her alternate reality self...

She acted like a housewife, She pinched Harukis side, and coquettishly smiled at him. She pulled him into an embrace, "I'll tell you if... you have been a ~go~od b~oy~"

Haruki was surprised on Cinders sudden change, he almost pounced on her...This new Cinder is bad for the heart.

The Last Boss is required to be the Hardest... it is the battle where your accumulated skills are put to use.

Neo teasingly smiled at Haruki, She provoked Haruki with her finger, prompting him to come at her.

She opened her umbrella and jumped off the building.

Haruki gave chase, it turned out to be an illusion, when he climbed back up Neo has already hidden in the campus.

Cinder saw all these Happen, She was genuinely smiling on what they were doing, she enjoyed being with him... she enjoyed roaming around with her friends...

Emerald Approached her, smiling as she looked outside, watching Haruki chase Neo around.

Pyrrha then spoke to the both of them. "At first I was curious what kind of strength he possessed...

He had physical abilities, and a mentality that didn't stop him from using those abilities in a fight.

Someone who is strong, A Natural...

A natural born leader... He faced everyone who came his way...

Head on...

Without running away...

As I continued to observe him I was drawn more and more..."

The two didn't speak but they silently agreed as they nodded their heads.

Pyrrha then continued...

"All life forms are inevitably Drawn to things that hold large amounts of energy.

And the fact That Kazama Haruki was able to draw this many people to him...

proves that his energy far exceeded that...

Of any ordinary man..."

They all simultaneously thought,

'And that's why I love him...'

They jumped down from the window to Join in the fun.
