-Previously on XConnection-

The girl who was already screwed, got screwed even more!

-Now!-

A somber voice sang in the silence of darkness:

"1, 2 it's time to wake up. 3, 4 or someone's going to kill you. 5, 6, I told you so. 7, 8, 9, 10 is 7 feet below your feet."

"Why me? Serious... What have I done to fuck me so bad?" Shizuna woke up, summing up the pillow.

“I see you've woken up in a good mood" kalius said, handing her a glass of water.

“AAAAAAH. FUCK THAT SHIT. FUCK THE WORLD! I CAN'T HAVE PEACE IN THIS SHIT! FUCK EVERYBODY. I'M OUT” she screamed by the second-floor window. “COME AND GET ME, DAMN! I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS.”

 “Kath!”

“Oui, Leader?” the young lady entered the room, confused.

“Go after her. I don't have the time or the patience to deal with this shit right now.”

“Mon Dieu! Why did she freak out?”

“I have my doubts. But I know you can handle it, you're strong. Go.”

“Oui! hey! Mademoiselle!”

-An hour later-

An owl delivered a note to Kalius.

"Leader, I lost sight of her. Crazy bitch. I want to cry. I'm going to kill her later.”

 “That bastard...”

- A few hours before-

“Dad?”

“No, Mom.”

“What the hell, were not you dead?”

“Ah, my foolish son who chose the Guild over the throne” she answered... I mean... The king, hugging him, squeezing him against the girl's breasts.

“Let me… go!” Kalius walked away, disappointed.

“Did you want me to die?”

“My face doesn't say that?”

“You wish I'd abandoned your mother?”

“I'm taking care of her," he said, clenched his fists.

“SO WHY THE HELL DON'T I SEE YOU IN THE HOSPITAL ANYMORE? YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT YOUR GUILD, UNGRATEFUL SON.”

 “SAYS THE GUY WHO ONLY CARES ABOUT THE TITLE.”

 “I left the throne aside just to take care of her, which, in the first place, was your fault that she stayed that way.”

Creating a sword of fire, Kalius departs on top of him without hesitation.

“Leader” Gron, the warrior in armor, stood before her. "Don't act on impulse, you can kill her.”

 “Thank you, canned.”

 “Shut up. I'm just protecting the shell.”

 “She doesn't need protection. Look... I should be surprised to be alive... in fact... dead. The owner of this body killed me, damn. I died shocked.”

 “And why did you own her?” asked Kalius, looking around him for enemies.

 “Because that's my karma. I own people who kill me.”

 “Wait, wait, wait. I was going to kill you, so...”

 “That's right. Your body would be mine.”

 “That's weird.”

 “But this girl is different. I wasn't able to own her body until she made a really crazy shit and I woke up now...”

 “GET HER!” more people shouted around them.

 “But what a lack of education, we are...” the Former Demon King has strayed from the attack of a sword. He took the sharp object and shoved it into the enemy's chest. “We're talking, no one's educated you?”

Suddenly, the Ex-King stood still, with a heavy breath.

“Damn it...” he said, before he fell to his knees, and a sword through his back.

 “SHIMISHIRO!” shouted Kalius, attacking all enemies. He took Shizuna in his lap and flew to his house.

-Returning to the present-

“Mark, an arrow hit her in the chest, and a sword went through it. How do you think I'm going to protect her like that?” Kaliu asked him, sitting on the bed with his hands on his face.

 “Leader, you know why you're desperate,” answered the guild archer. “She's a total stranger, and she's freaking out. Her feelings are mixing with your father's, that's very dangerous. Still, you just want to protect her because...”

 “AMEN!” said Katherine entering the room, carrying Shizuna on her shoulders. “This mother...”

Kalius stared at her.

“Pardon, Leader...”

 “Here...” said Kalius taking Shizuna in his lap. "Call Heath, and tell her to recharge her energies before healing Shimishiro.”

 “But Leader...”

 “Now, Katherine!” his eyes were engulfed in flames.

 “Oui, pardon” asked, withdrawing from the room.

 “Kalius” called Mark, opening the door.

 “It’s Leader.”

 “Kalius... Don't let it go to your head. She's not your girlfriend. She's not Ellie.”

 “Don't talk about her. Never again.”

 “The one who warns friend is... Leader” he left the room.

Kalius put Shizuna to bed, closed his eyes and with a punch, smashed a mirror from the wall.

“I can never protect anyone... And I'm not a fucking idiot” he stared at her in bed. "Why so similar?” he covered her up and withdrew.

Kalius went down the stairs leading to a little bar. At that moment, only the members of his guild were there. Everyone stared at him. After a long sigh, he said:

“I'm sorry, I'm an asshole. But my mind was already broken, finding her, got even worse.

 "Leader, we don't blame you," Heath said, hugging him.

 “All that shit only happened about three days ago, you can't get over it that fast-added” said Loomis, the guild shield, drinking on the counter.

 “We're going to help you protect her, but Leader...” started Katherine. “She's dangerous. After I lost sight of her, I could only find her because of the tracks of bodies squatted in the streets.”

 “But that may have been my father in control,” Kalius replied, confused.

 “Pardon, Leader, but she was lucid. And I heard her uttering forbidden words. Words that would hurt the Demon King, and even he wouldn't dare utter it, so, yes... it was her.”

 “We're going to look into this later when she wakes up. So, I'm sorry, let's drink to forget, my fellow” Kalius stared at Mark who was quiet, drinking alone in the other corner of the bar.

The hours went by, a lot of booze was rolling, and the arsenal emptied. All this drinking made them forget the stranger woman who was sleeping in the room on the second floor; just as they forgot to cure her.

“Excuse me” asked Shizuna, with the covering on his back, opening the door to the bar.

They stared at her, surprised and frightened, as if they saw a ghost.

“Shimishiro, you should be resting” Kalius approached her.

 “I smell like blood, is it okay if I take a shower?”

 “All right, then Heath will cure you again.”

 “N... No. She don't have to, I'm better. I'm going, enjoy it” said crestfallen, going up the stairs.

 “Fuck, she's very similar” observed Trent, guild sniper, smoking a cigar and drinking whiskey at the bottom of the bar.

 “For all this shit we're going through and we're going to pass. MAY DEATH KILL THEM!” They all screamed together.

Kalius was distressed, only alcohol to relieve the mood at that time. Many rounds later and many bets on darts and pool, the whole guild fell asleep at the tables and on the counter.

Despite what he had said, Kalius was still lucid but slightly drunk, sitting on the stairs.

“Why did I give you that idea? The arsenal is gone.”

He got up, staggering. Up the stairs, undressing. He opened the bedroom door... the room where Shizuna was. She had just been out of the bath, only meeting a mini regatta and panties.

“The... what are you doing here?” asked her, blushing, trying to hide her body with her hands.

 “You're so beautiful...” he answered, approaching her.

 “And you're drunk.”

 “I'm so lucid, I can tell you're the most beautiful mirage I've ever seen.”

Kalius fell upon her on the bed, holding her arms up.

“Why did you come to my life?” tears from her eyes flowed and fell on Shizuna's face. "Why the fuck do you and Ellie look so alike?”

“You also look a lot like someone I know.”

“What? Who?”

“My future boyfriend...”
