A week after the fight.
"Big Bro! I'm so bored!" A young girl, around my age, who had her short brown hair in a ponytail sat to the left of my hospital bed, not letting me read. She was wearing a green track suit for some reason. She was a short girl, not as short as Nymph but at least a bit shorter than me.
"Don't call me that."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm your cousin, Nari!" That's right. The girl sitting next to me is one of my cousins. We were pretty close when we were young, but I haven't seen her for ten years. Her family moved to somewhere in Europe when we were eight. "Go bother Tomo or Zack. I'm sorta in the hospital so leave me alone."
"All Pervy wants to do is grab at my amazing rack!" She gestured to her nonexistent chest. You're flatter than Nymph...I didn't even know that was possible. "And Zack is...Zack. You know that you're my favorite!'
"Wow, that was surprisingly rude. Oh, and I don't care, I'm sort of recovering here."
"Pssh. 'Recovering'. If you ask me, you look perfectly fine." She wouldn't stop moving around in her chair. Stop fucking moving. What are you, twelve?!
"I don't know if you've noticed, but I broke my fucking leg!"
"It looks fine to me." It is...but I really don't feel like going to school right now. Or home. I've been using this whole "Broken Leg" thing as an excuse to not become Nymph's Master. Why? Cuz I really don't feel like it's the best idea. At the reminder of Masters, I look over to Omega who sat at my right. Completely enamored by a handheld Nari had given him to keep him distracted. "Who's this guy anyway?"
"A friend. Who really shouldn't be here. " I snarled. Omega recognized the order and stood up.
"Sorry, Ma-I mean buddy. I'll go now." Omega walked to the door and opened it. Before he left he moved to the side. it turned out that Nymph had come to visit, as she did everyday. Today she wore a pink dress. When she walked in and greeted Omega, he nodded and left the room.
"Adonis! How are..." Nymph then notices Nari and glared at her. She then turned her attention to me. Don't fuck this up.
"Hey, Nymph. This is..."
"Nari, nice to meet ya." Nari stood up and lifted her hand for a handshake. Nymph took the hand with a very strange smile.
"Hi. My name is Nymph. Adonis's girlfriend. Right?" She turns her gaze towards me once more.
"Relax, Nari's my cousin. Nice to know you have so much faith in me." Nymph drops her smile and replaces it with a look of guilt.
"Wait a second...what?!" Nari finally took in the situation. "You have a girlfriend Big Bro?!"
"Why the hell do you sound so surprised?!"
"Well...it's just. You're so normal Bro. It's kinda boring..."
"Wow. Fuck."
"I mean...ugh. Nevermind." She sat back down and hung her head low. Nymph takes the seat that Omega had a second ago and pulls the chair a bit closer to the bed.
"So, can you explain why you're here Nari? I mean, Europe to Japan is a bit of a long trip for a 'family visit'."
"Oh yeah! I totally forgot. I need you to teach me."
"Teach you? Teach you what?"
"How to use Zero."
"...What?"
"Hold on a sec..." Nymph interjected. "Isn't Zero that super special power that you have cuz protagonist reasons?" My brand of sarcasm is rubbing off on her to much.
"Yeah, and it should be impossible for two people to have Zero at one time. Especially Nari."
"What? Why? Are you dissin me?!" She stood up and tried her best tough guy pose, but her figure just didn't let it work.
"Yes. But the reason is because of your family." Nari sat down and a question mark somehow appeared over her head. "I don't know the details but apparently you're family is a pretty far branch of Takanashi's. So you guys didn't usually get any powers. And now, Nari has the rarest power of all. Doesn't seem that rare to me now."
"Well, aren't I awesome?! Now, teach me Sensei!"
"How the hell am I supposed to teach you when I don't even understand the power myself?!" As I got ready for an argument, Nymph awkwardly raised her hand. "Yes, cutey pie?"
Nymph blushed for a moment before recomposing herself. "I'd like to know exactly what this 'Zero' is. You've never really told me and you change the subject almost immediately."
"Well, it's sorta complicated and I'm tired and..."
"You can explain this or become my Master right now." Nari was confused for a second before burying it. Probably considering it some weird sex thing. It can be.
"Zero it is. Well, basically Zero is the ability to learn. Like me for example. I started out with Zio and now I'm able to do shit like Thunder Reign and Electric Armement."
"Is that why you at that chord from the electricity tower that time?"
"Yes and no. I had a theory that maybe if I had been able to access more electricity that maybe my power to manipulate it would increase as well. Either I was right or really lucky that I didn't die."
Nymph sighed the cutest sigh and rested her head on my lap. "You really get yourself into danger way to much. I get worried you know."
"Sorry, but shit happens."
"You two really are cute aren't you?" Nari spoke up. Now's when I noticed that she was watching us like we were a TV show. Popcorn and everything.
"Nari, you sure do know how to ruin a moment. Don't you." Nymph returned to her original position, now fidgeting and looking at the ground like it had the most interesting drama playing.
"Not sure you'd call that a moment. More like sexual pressure."
"Yeah, yeah. Stop being jealous."
"I'm not jealous. *sigh* Whatever. I'm headed to Pervy's house. Mom said I was gonna start living there." Tomo is not gonna like that.
"T-Then I guess I should walk you there. Let's go." Nymph quickly grabbed Nari's hand and lead her out of the room. Before she did she turned around, ran up to me and hugged me. "Get better soon, okay. And don't do anything stupid again." She kissed me on the cheek and walked out of the room.
"Aww. So lovey dovey. I want a relationship just like you and her!"
"Go home, idiot."
"Hehe." Nari happily skips out of the room. Training her is gonna be a huge pain in the ass. Oh well. Say la vie or whatever.
A day later
I was back home. Sitting on my bed alone other than the fact that Omega was downstairs doing research on Nymph's dramas cuz everyone was at school. Apparently Omega and Nymph got pretty close after the whole "wings" debacle. Now Nymph was teaching Omega as much about the human life as she could. Sure most of the info was wrong but at least she was trying. "Omega! Where's Nari? Girl shows up wanting me to help her and now she's gone?" I walked down to the living room to find Omega wearing a red suit. "Well you know how to clean up. Who's the lucky lady?"
"Beta"
"I'm gonna kill you. That okay with you?" Electricity began to spark off of me causing him to take a step back.
"M-Master! I did not mean that I was doing this for her! She's waiting for you!"
"What? Why are you dressed up anyway?"
" told me to wear this. Oh, and also give this to you." He handed me a black tuxedo. "She also said that we should meet her at a church near the edge of town." I have a really bad feeling about this. Anything that girl plans ends up in disaster. Mostly towards Tomo but still.
"Ugh. Fine, I'll meet you there. Okay?" I started to walk to my room to change. "Oh yeah, and be ready to escape whenever shit hits the fan."
"Yes, Master." I walk up to my room and fully change. Wow, I look like one of those background characters you'd see in funerals and weddings on TV. Fuck me
I walk out the house, making sure it was locked before I left, and made my way to the church. All the way feeling like someone or something was watching me. Is shit really about to go down AGAIN?! It better not.
When I stood at the doors of the church I felt worry fill me up. Dude, relax. It's not like you're getting married. I opened the doors of the church to be met with Iki, wearing a wedding dress on the altar with Sugata as the priest. Okay. What the fuck. "Master." I heard Omega whisper. I looked to Iki's right to see him sitting in one of the booths. I walked over to him. "Master, you are to be the 'best man'. told me to tell you to stand to the left of where Sakuri will stand."
"Okaaay. I have no idea what the fuck is happening but oh well. And what does this have to do with Nymph?"
"Well, you're 'wedding' is next!" Wait, what?
"H-Hold on a sec! I'm just 17! I'm not ready for marriage!"
" said that you were." I'll kill her! "Plus, isn't that what Beta wants?"
"Uh..." Before I could respond Tomo came through the church doors wearing a white tuxedo.
"What the hell is going..." He stopped himself when he saw Iki and walked up to her. "Ikaros..wow." I reluctantly walked into position.
"Do you vow to love and honor each other,in sickness and in health, for as long as you live?" Sugata said, starting the ceremony.
"I do." Iki answered. She didn't even wait for Tomo to answer, she leaned in for the kiss. Tomo, probably getting caught up in the moment. Leaned in as well.
But..."Wait a second! What's going on here?!"
Mikako appeared out of behind the altar dressed as a Nun. "What do you think? It's a wedding!"
"I got that, but why?"
"Well, you see Ikaros here told me about how you proposed to her. You didn't think that you could do that and run away, did you?"
"I-I don't know what you're talking about but you misunderstood! I don't remember proposing to you!" He yelled causing Iki to flinch.
"Oh really? Because I thought that this was such a good opportunity to bring everything to light." What the hell are you saying Mikako? Bring what to light? Is he a secret agent or some shit? Mikako snapped her fingers, then four doors open up. Revealing, Sho, Astrea, Nymph and Nari all wearing different wedding dresses. "Now then who will you chose Tomoki?"
"Well, this was fun. But, I seriously don't feel like watching this blood bath. So...bye." I undid my tie and signaled to Omega for us to leave.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Nymph grabs my arm. Damn...she looks really cute in that.
"Umm. Home?"
"Why?!"
"Cuz I've got to get ready to help Nari. I have to be a good teacher." Even if I don't want to be.
"Grr...but you've got to keep your promise!"
"When did I promise to marry you?" Wait, isn't this what Tomo was having a problem about literally five seconds ago.
"When you said you'd be my master. Remember?"
"H-Huh? When'd I say that?"
"Adonis..." There's no way out of this..,dammit! If only an angle would fall from the sky to save me from this!
*CRASH* The ceiling of the church burst open and a young girl in a nun outfit was falling right towards me with her arms spread open for a hug. "Papa!"
"Chaos?!" Everyone yelled as Chaos hugged me. "Wait...Papa?!" It took everyone a second to register that. Well...I got my wish.
Next day
"*sigh* It sure is getting crowded in here. Don't you think?" I was in my room attempting to relax. And failing, again. Omega refused to leave me alone with Chaos, so he always stayed near me since Chaos was always holding onto me. Nymph stayed near me as well but was giving me the stink eye the entire time. This situation is happening to many times. Maybe I should invest in a lock.
"Nope" They all said in unison.
"Big bro!" Nari slammed the door and ran into my room. "When the hell are you gonna teach me?!"
"Whenever I'm not surrounded." Nari's eyebrow twitched.
"Big bro. I did not move to a different country to not learn shit."
"I know. But..."
"Master. Do not worry. I will handle Chaos." Omega spoke up, pulling out his sword.
"Um. No. How many times do I have to tell you? Chaos isn't our enemy anymore."
"But Master..."
"No matter what you say we're gonna make sure she doesn't hurt you. Okay, idiot?" Nymph said angrily.
"I won't hurt, Papa. I promise!" Chaos held onto me even tighter.
"He isn't you're Papa! Get off of him!" Nymph finally snapped. She grabbed Chaos's legs and tried to pull her off of me. However, her grip was just too much. "Chaos, stop it!"
"No!"
"Chaos!" They continued going back and forth. Why is this my life?
"Nii-san." Zack walked into the room. Great. Even more people. "I need to speak with you. Privately." He went all serious mode.
"Sure. Seriously guys. Give me a break." Chaos let go but Nymph kept fighting with her.
Zack walked me out to the hallway. "What's up?"
"Mother called, and she wants you, me and Nari to go do some tests back in America."
"*sigh* I guess I should've seen this coming. Alright when'll we be leaving?"
"I'm not done." He suddenly went very pale. "She also said to, and I quote, 'Bring your Angeloid friends.'"
"...What?"
