Виктория Олеговна Рогозина "Your wish"

“Move more, and I will break your arm,” Verdandi smiled bloodthirstyly, wanting her to disobey.

As expected, Necroline listened to only two people: Melania and Caroline. Verdandi’s order or request did not impress her, and so the kunoichi jumped to her feet with all her might, throwing off Verdandi, breaking her arm. The left limb limply hung along the body. Without waiting for the opponent to get up on all fours, Necroline slightly threw her back and punched her good hand next to her opponent’s temple. The first left a decent imprint in the ground in the rock, serving as a terrible hint.

“Don’t get in my way anymore,” Necroline spoke softly and decisively.

Rising to her feet, the kunoichi, without looking back at the loser, went to her friend. The medical ninja immediately started whispering a healing spell, unable to bear the pain and violence. Verdandi left silently. They’ve had similar fights before, usually ending as abruptly as they started.

– Stupid! Caroline gave her friend a resounding slap in the face.

Did I break my promise? Necroline’s eyebrow arched in surprise.

– Was it necessary to break your arm with a jerk?!

“We should have done it gradually,” Zander suddenly laughed nervously.

– That’s right, pointy-eared, – Necroline smiled, defusing the situation.

– Listen, can I ask a question? Dale suddenly asked.

Kunoichi turned serious again and nodded inВ agreement, froze inВ anticipation ofВ the question.

– Why are you trying to seem ruder than you really are? Dale continued. You are very beautiful when you smile.

– It’s just that when you start treating everyone in a good way, everyone starts to be rude, and it will be bad for me later. It’s better to be afraid then. And what?

– No, nothing, – Dale looked from Necroline to Melania, from Melania to Caroline, and then to Zander.

“Today you can rest,” the elder sister graciously allowed, which could not but rejoice.

Necroline nodded her thanks.

– I still have things to do today.

Together, the company headed towards the house, leaving the kunoichi alone with their “business”. Necroline sat at the very edge of the waterfall, listening to the sound of falling water, and looking down, thinking painfully about something. Yesterday’s chamomile stuck out in her hair. Caroline, on reflection, decided to return, approaching her friend from behind.

– Do you want to talk, – rather affirmatively than inquiringly whispered “fair”.

Necroline nodded. Now she looked very tired.

– Do you think about that girl, Lesya? Caroline asked again.

“Yes,” the kunoichi nodded. – She is very similar to me. Melania was threatened, and then I shielded her with myself. They told me to leave otherwise I would die. And I said that I would accept death with dignity. I was then eight years old, no more. You know, I dream that someday I will live in peace and not be afraid for the lives of my friends. But all these horrors… as if it happened yesterday.

– I understand you, – Caroline laid her head on her friend’s shoulder.

“Although something else worries me now,” Necroline hugged the “fair” by the shoulders. “I think I’m starting to fall in love. For the first time, my heart feels something…something other than anxiety.

– Dale?

– Yes. He looks so much like that guy, but is often silent. I read his mind several times. By the way, he didn’t even block me, but Care, he’s completely clean. Honor, pride and feelings – he has all this.

– You’re just afraid of getting burned. Like then… you’ve been alone for too long, so it’s hard to accept at least some feelings.

Necroline sighed sadly.

“Thank you,” the ninja smiled. You have supported and helped me so many times already.

– Necroline, I’m your friend. You can always rely on me.

They were silent for a little longer. Necroline sighed heavily, and Caroline touched her friend’s forehead with her forehead, helping to cope with mental problems. Whatever one may say, but they are still friends, the most real.

***

Necroline was sitting at the table with everyone. Melania and Caroline cooked well, so they covered everyone inВ the shortest possible time and forced them toВ eat aВ variety ofВ delicious food, cooler than any self-assembled tablecloth. Dale and Zander ate with gusto. Ninja very rarely eat well. Usually they have toВ eat pasture, not really relying on delicacies. Necroline sat gloomy, darker than the clouds.

– What’s the matter? Caroline smiled sweetly at her friend.

Necroline slammed her hand on the table. The girls jumped inВ surprise, and the guys calmly raised their eyes.

– Takasaki!!! Necroline said the name loudly, clearly, and with her eyes closed.

Dale nodded and immediately choked on his salad as he realized WHAT he had done.

– Hound?! – surprised not that asked, not that approved Melaine.

– How did you know? Dale, or now Takasaki, slowly got up from his seat, pushing his chair back.

– Purely by chance, – Necroline also stood up. – Why did you lie?

– Necroline, he’s half Hound. His father was a Hound, and his mother was from the village of Haya, – Zander smiled disarmingly.

– Why did you lie to me? the ninja girl insistently repeated her question.

– I lied, and then by accident, – the elf made honest eyes.

Necroline stood up, threw her dark cloudy cloak around her shoulders and said:

– I’ll be back late.

The door creaked shut behind the girl. Everyone breathed aВ sigh ofВ relief.

– So the Hound, – thoughtfully confirmed Melaine.

Is this aВ reason toВ hate aВ person? Takasaki asked.

– You understand Necroline correctly. Her family was killed by the Hounds. All Haya dream of revenge. The first one she will kill from the Hounds will be you, – Melania smiled bitterly, but confidently. “Though not all is lost. A truce is possible. By the way, where did my sister go?

“Save Lesya,” Caroline replied.

– The dark ninja saves, something terrible is coming, – Zander grinned and everyone burst out laughing.

***

Necroline came to the only fourth building in their settlement, still not understanding why she was doing it. As expected, Lesya was already there, on the roof, and someone else was with her. There is not a soul on the street, which was the norm at such a late time – it has become a kind of tradition in the settlement to spend evenings surrounded by relatives and friends. Dark dog. But ninjas see well in the dark thanks to the pumped human data, including with the help of magic.

Necroline climbed to the roof and saw a phenomenal picture. Lesya stood in a fighting stance, and opposite her a demon hung in the air. Demons are generally rare in this world, because in order to summon a demon, great magical power is needed. Every ninja dreams of “killing a real demon”, like killing a dragon in the Middle Ages.

Necroline attacked immediately, without asking too many questions, thereby saving Lesya from inevitable death. The fire attack burned the enemy, leaving only a clot of dark ash. Necroline chuckled. “Fire” is unique in the world, as well as the other three elements of nature. Most demons die from the touch of fire. The only exceptions are fire and water demons, they had to be tinkered with.

– You saved me! Leslie smiled. “So you still have Light in you.

The little girl was engulfed inВ aВ golden radiance, and snow-white wings luminous with purity and whiteness grew behind her back.

– I’m an angel. Necroline we will meet again.

The angel flew away, leaving Necroline, who stamped her foot inВ annoyance. It all happened too fast toВ be true.

***

Necroline returned home even more gloomy than she left. When asked: “What’s the matter?”, The girl honestly answered that she had saved the Angel…

They laughed at her for a long time and sincerely. The dark ninja saved not some “light-haired” one, but an Angel. In fact, the Dark Ones maintain their image and do not save anyone for free. And here??!

“Shame on my gray head,” Necroline shook her head in dismay.

“All is not lost yet,” Zander added, trying to remain calm. – You save a couple more Angels, the road to Paradise is secured.

Necroline shrugged. When the Dark One starts doing “light” things, it’s a nightmare, a loss of reputation.

– And also love, also a bright feeling. Do you like Takasaki!?! Caroline grabbed her hand, covering her mouth, realizing that she had blurted out too much.

Necroline continued toВ look collected seriously, with aВ stone, impenetrable face.

“If this is true, then you will have to be upset – this is not mutual,” Takasaki lowered his gaze.

Now he could not explain why he had lied again. He lied rudely and unfairly. He liked Necroline and Takasaki began to understand what “Ultimate Power” was. Absolute strength is not physical, magical or spiritual training and strength, it is something more, more sublime.

“Actually, I wanted to hire you, I need additional security to my village,” Takasaki put a heavy purse of money on the table.

– I agree, – Necroline sighed heavily.

Further, hike does not make sense of the description. It takes eight hours to walk to the village of the Hounds. Takasaki and Zander were delighted to be accompanied by three kawaii (seemingly) girls. Melaine was dressed in a crocodile skin jumpsuit, and her face was hidden by a cape wrapped up to her eyes. Usually, bandits do this when they go out on their “dark deeds”, or ninjas wear the same masks. They wear a mask that only reveals their eyes.

Caroline’s conscience “ate” all the way. Yesterday she betrayed – she betrayed her friend. Necroline said, “It’s okay!” but that didn’t make Kara feel any better. Her ninja friend was as calm as a tank. She was protected by the armor of tranquility.

Arriving in the village, the conscience attacked Necroline, and, having bitten, left. The reason lay in the Takasaki family. The family was very large – seventeen people. These seventeen included an ailing old mother, Takasaki himself, and fifteen of his brothers and sisters, between the ages of six and eleven.

The first thing the children asked for was money for food, but Takasaki just shrugged. He gave all the money toВ the three girls who accompanied him and Zander on the way. Now seventeen people will be hungry.

– Takasaki, darling! – some dark-haired girl threw herself on the guy’s neck.

Necroline watched with understanding as Takasaki hugged the girl, how they were talking cheerfully, laughing…

Necroline chuckled. Yeah, she wasn’t kawaii. But does it matter? But now the reason for Takasaki’s refusal is clear. He has the girl of his dreams. But with all this, Necroline was not upset, but on the contrary. It suddenly seemed to her that life was beautiful (such an incident happened to her infrequently). Usually a girl, like all Dark Ones, perceived everything in black.

Necroline was not exactly Dark, because inВ addition toВ black, she also saw white inВ life. Despite the entire Dark Code, Necroline still performed Light deeds without taking aВ fee, although she often spoke about it herself, as if she wanted toВ show that nothing but money bothers her. But, seeing the children, Necroline first thought about aВ completely selflessВ act.

She called one ofВ the Takasaki brothers, handed over the purse ofВ money, and left. She left unnoticed, inВ English, without saying goodbye. Such generosity was out ofВ character for aВ ninja girl.

Many knew her as a cruel warrior who does not betray or forgive. Along with this, there was also a myth that Caroline “holds” all the cruelty. The myth is unfounded. Caroline really reduced the number of victims to some extent, but here you still need to take into account the human factor in the face of Necroline. She is not a supporter of violence, but some sometimes very well suggest themselves. Or patience sometimes bursts. Although one does not interfere with the other.

Zander twitched his long, pointed ear. He heard Necroline leaving, but didn’t stop her. What could he do or suggest? Ninja honestly did her job. What else is needed? He did not know that the mercenary gave the money. When the whole company finds out about this, they will have a shock. The mercenary who returned the money is doomed to eternal disgrace. But everyone appreciated the wisdom of Necroline in the sense that she gave the money not to Takasaki, but to one of his brothers.

“Meet my second cousin Kaname,” Takasaki smiled.

AВ fragile pale creature with black, rather long hair, but unusually cheerful. Kaname was very pleasant despite her sickly appearance.

– Sister?!!? – Melaine and Caroline exclaimed in surprise, and the elf was aware, and for that period of time he was worried about Necroline’s departure.

– These are my friends. Melania, Caroline and… Where’s Necroline??? Takasaki’s face changed.

Who is Necroline? – Kaname portrayed puppet surprise.

“Good girl,” Zander waved him off. – With a kawaii appearance and the character of the Devil, – after which the elf giggled.

“Ninja of the Haya clan,” Kaname added, smiling and holding out her hand to Takasaki’s friends. – Nice to meet you. Today I am the head of the Hound clan and do not want a war with the Haya.

– I’m in charge for now, but literally in three days Necroline will be in charge, – Melania smiled. She won’t fight you either.

– Can we go to the house? Kaname suggested.

Everyone nodded in agreement. No matter how you slice it, it’s better to talk at home with a good snack and plenty of vodka. The main thing the next day is to remember what happened yesterday. And this is problematic.

Just then, Takasaki’s younger brother showed up, saying that “the clearing is covered” and immediately the truth about the money that Necroline returned came out. This is where everyone was horrified.

– At least she knows what she’s doing! Takasaki yelled, clutching his head.

“She is always responsible for her actions,” Melania said quietly.
