Chapter 84: Afraid Yet Peaceful
.......
Morena was at first confused hearing the first sentence and it hit her only after he completed what he had to say as a mischievously charming smile surfaced on her face, she whispered to his ear with her arms around his neck.
"I thought that if by any chance I got hurt to a certain degree, you'll have to use your ability to heal me, hence canceling the purple mark on my chest. But too bad, it appears that my plan worked perfectly."
Yasuo arched his brows and just shook his head and analyzed with a calm tone, "This isn't funny, it doesn't matter what the rest of your plan is, it will still be a good plan at best.
The more variables there are the worst the plan is so your plan isn't that good as the only reason you won is that the enemy's plan has more variables than you.
If they used 'Gyo' in the middle of the fight and saw the black gas coming from the manhole covers around then your plans would become void meaning your death."
Hearing all of that made Morena's face twitch as she just let out a sigh, "Acting as a distraction is risky but its also the best way to get things done quickly without many hurdles and I was confident in my ability to a certain extent and especially confident in my ability to retreat if needed."
Yasuo started pinching her cheek as a smile came back to his face, "I guess I should give you some more lessons on how to be cautious 101 huh."
Then his mouth locked hers in an intimate kiss as she tightened her grip over his clothes clinging tightly to him while letting out a small moan, "Please do..." She whispered in the middle of what turned into a passionate kiss.
Suddenly her phone rang making them halt the kiss, she looked at the message growing for a split second before inquiring, "You sent the underboss and the other Nen user somewhere right?"
To which Yasuo nodded bringing a sigh of relief out of her, "I teleported them somewhere secure since I noticed you left them alive, their abilities are quite interesting after all. You sent you underlines to get them?" Wondered Yasuo.
Morena nodded, "I kept a few on stand by in case I found the underboss's ability useful and if it's possible to take him alive,"
"Well, you should have a lot of things to do so want me to take you somewhere?" Yasuo asked in a casual tone.
"They should be able to handle the rest so let's just go to my new house," Responded Morena, after which she informed him of the address.
"Did you add a condition on the black gas ability?" Wondered Yasuo while sending an Aeroeye thread towards the location to teleport there.
He sat down on the roof side with Morena on his lap as she just relaxed with her head resting on his shoulder.
"The ability is quite good of used correctly though the former holder only used it as a fatal poison that'd usually kill normal people in a few minutes, at least that's in my case I don't know how long it takes for him.
But there are weaknesses, it will take much longer to affect a Nen user, and it's extremely hard to control so it's easy for one to avoid it and to a certain extent, Nen offers a bit of protection against it so yeah, it's deadly against normal people but weak against Nen users."
Morena continued to further explain, "So I added another function for the ability, I can mimic any poison as long as I consider it as such with a few restrictions.
To mimic a poison I have to inject a certain amount of it on myself and can not take the antidote until 15 minutes passed and the black gas will return to its normal state once 24 hours pass which is a good addition because of my proficiency in transmutation, the poison ends up being much stronger than normal."
Yasuo remarked absentmindedly, "Well, the ability is quite suitable for you."
Morena lifted her head looking at him with concern, "Are you okay? you seem distracted,"
Only to notice his silvery eye's Iris turning shiningly scarlet as she looked a the beautiful sight before her bewildered.
Yasuo just caressed her head with a teasing smile on his face, "Don't worry about it, I'm just trying something and get used to my new eye colors. Also, it looks cool right?"
Morena nodded absentmindedly noticing a change in his presence, something she wouldn't normally notice if not for his presence becoming relatively apparent once his right eye turned scarlet.
She looked at the scarlet shining eye casting an illusion upon her, an illusion of a flowing river, one made of beautiful scarlet blood.
Instead of feeding the land around it, It absorbed the life force of all that's around her for its own benefit except two scarlet fully grown trees that stood tall within its shadow.
"It is... Graceful... beautifully so." As she said that, she went for a kiss with passion apparent in her eyes.
Yasuo gladly responded noting how she responded to seeing the eye in contrast to how 'others' behave seeing it.
They floated slightly as a portal appeared beneath them which they went through without breaking out of the kiss.
...
"Is quite simple really." Morena finished explaining to Yasuo after a long tiring night. She is lying her head on his lap lazily relaxing while in front of Yasuo is a floating laptop as he just read the files opened and listened to Morena explaining her plans, well the plans already unfolded and its effect is already spreading through the city, the whole empire even.
The Boss of the Cha-R Family and an illegitimate half-brother of King Nasubi Hui Guo Rou was declared dead though his body wasn't found, traces of his blood and a picture of his decapitated head was posted on a certain website from an unidentifiable source.
Yasuo smiled with interest in his eyes, "Orilin's ability ended up being quite interesting, his loyalty to you made it possible huh."
Morena lazily answered, "Hm, that's why I decided on such a plan, I knew that the Cha-R family's underboss is actually the strongest in the family from the former boss but I didn't know by how much nor was I able to get any information about his ability so I decided to take him on myself.
The Cha-R family boss's cautiousness is already quite known or in this case, it's cowardice and I knew he'll never take the frontline so I sent all of the Nen users in the family to what I thought he'd be and I left the rest to luck..."
Yasuo shook his head, "Luck huh, well you won't have to leave anything to such a thing anymore as I'll stay here for a while, I really need to teach you a lot of things~"
Her eyes brightened the moment she heard that as she jumped into his arms throwing her arms around him and kissing him passionately then asking to make sure, "Really? how long?"
Yasuo arched his brows looking into her glittering black eyes that couldn't hide the obsession within.
He started stroking her hair with a gentle smile on his face as he responded with a simple answer, "Yeah, a year or so~" He then asked wondering, "Are you that happy to having me around you all the time?"
Hearing that seemed to release some kind of shackles place upon her as she let out a long sigh of relief while hugging him more tightly than she ever has.
She seemed to want to deliver a response solely by how much she is clinging to him as she rested her head on his chest listening to his strange heartbeats.
Faint heartbeats that rarely sounded and if it did, it only did so to declare his detachment from what common human sense is.
She seems to want to dive into his chest more than she already did as a content smile painted her beautifully shaped face, she started whispering with emotions she never imagined she'd have, a tone of hope and love but most importantly... Fear, "You have no idea just... just how close I want to be with you all the time.
I can't not think of you all the time and I'm always scared of losing you, just what'll I do?
I feel like I have not interested in spreading chaos anymore though I still feel relief doing so from time to time.
You are my obsession now and it was soo easy for you to make it as such... you're just that different so you can only imagine how I feel when you're away when I don't feel the peace... The peace I feel when you're around.
I do things that give me some time of peace such as leading the family, or just killing random people but it's always short-lived..."
