Chapter 2 - Bailey Family

The next day, at around 7:30 AM, the siblings are at a police station. The name of the girl is Kariko Bailey, and his brother is Kortis Bailey. They sat on the couch, and in front of them is Moria, the mother of Kariko's victim. Moria was crying, while Kariko was playing with her phone. Then, on the other side was the policemen, Officer Keg, and Officer David.

"Yesterday, in the afternoon, 5:43 PM, Ms. Bailey took Mista to their home." Officer David started relaying information. "After saying they will do their homework together in the Bailey family's house. However, the moment she got inside Ms. Bailey's room, she was put to sleep with a sleeping spray. Ms. Bailey took Mista's belongings and built a maze of mirrors using psychic powers illegally. 15 year old Mista died a horrific murder at 9:52 PM."

"I'm very sorry for my precious sister." Kortis looked down, but his voice was emotionless.

"Like that would change anything!" Officer Keg fumed.

"Well, I'm sorry that I couldn't change anything."

"Yes you could! Just agree to the conditions!"

"I'm very sorry, but our beloved parents would not like that."

"That girl's a monster! She's sent from hell!" Moria cried.

"I'm really sorry for my sister, please forgive her." Kortis lowered his head.

"Forgive? Have you seen my daughter's corpse?" Moria's voice broke.

"I did, it was indeed terrible."

"You…" Kariko pushed, and pulled his brother, but he wouldn't budge an inch. "Stop being sorry! Let's go home! I'm hungry!"

Kariko glared sharply as glass at Moria. "And you, crybaby…"

The two officer's eyes widened. Kariko has stabbed Moria with her glass trident. The trident pierced Moria's chest, and passed through her back. Kariko grinned as blood spat on her face, Moria tried to speak but no words got out of her mouth. In the end, both Mista, and Moria died under the hands of Kariko.

"Enough of this horseplay! We'll be arresting you!" Officer David aimed a gun at Kariko, but he trembled, he felt the presence of Kortis' eyes bore on him like an arrow.

"Hold it! We can't act on impulse!" Officer Keg held David's arm.

"But she just did another murder, Sir!"

"We aren't allowed to imprison a minor! And on top of that, she is one of the families above us commoners! They have an absolute advantage against us!"

Kortis and Kariko started to leave.

"The Government makes the law, and us police are ordered to keep the laws in order." Officer Keg drunk his coffee. "If you turn from the law, you turn from the Government, you'll lose your head."

When Kortis opened the door, he raised his brows, a mysterious man appeared before his eyes. He wore a long black coat, black fedora hat, and sunglasses.

"What is it this time?!" Kariko stomped her feet.

"I am codename: XA7. I'm an agent from Poet Liberty Mental Hospital-School. I-"

"You are here to scout my adorable sister Kariko to your hospital-school, aren't you?"

"I'm glad you figured it out, it is certainly true."

"This is the 6th school that wished to scout Kariko, Dibell Arc asked her 4 times, Phoenix Wings asked her for the second time, The Cunning hasn't given up until now I'm getting sick of it."

"Then, learn how to restrain your sister!" The policemen behind yelled. Then, their jaws dropped, Kariko smirked.

"My apologies…" Kortis' hand grew long nails like that of a hawk. "But, I would never sell my adorable sister to the likes of you!"

Then, he scratched the chest of XA7. Blood dirtied his fingers while XA7 fell on the floor. The wound isn't that deep, it should not kill him. The siblings quickly left after.

"That's also one of her advantages… Her brother is a well-known beast."

Then, the clock drifted to 10:12. Ylvin was sitting on a chair in front of a food truck, wearing his new leather jacket even when the sun is burning. He waited, nothing special, even the owner of the food truck isn't bothered. Then, in just minutes, a familiar face came into the crowd.

"Oi!" Ismaya called. He failed to catch Ylvin's attention, so he approached him instead.

"Ismaya, you're early, eh?"

"And you've been waiting here?"

"I have nothing much to do, anyways."

"So, what do you want? You can have two or three dishes."

"Eh? D-do you have enough money?"

"Don't worry, I just had my payday"

"Then, you should eat more than me."

"Stop sweating it, seriously."

Then, there was silence. Ylvin's face grew red, he's tried to hide it but failed.

"I would not need anything then." Ylvin stood up.

"Eh?" Ismaya hit the chair next to him twice. "Hey, hey, I get it let's just eat."

But Ylvin proceeded to walk away. Ismaya quickly followed him. "Alright, you can have your usual soup, or do you want to eat somewhere else?"

Ylvin turned to him. "You left your work for me, are you?"

"Sure, but it don't ma-" Ismaya paused to stare at Ylvin. We have known each other for three years, and before I knew it, you're now a grownup.

"You look cool on your jacket, here's 50 dom." Ismaya tried to liven it up by giving Ylvin enough money (He knew Ylvin would feel worse if it's an even higher amount).

"No, stop! You don't need to!"

Ismaya then approached a nearby post, and pinned the banknote with a stone from the ground. "Then, I'll leave it here."

Ismaya turned to his back, and waved as he left. Now, Ylvin was left alone. Not with his usual cheerful self, this time, there's a solemn look on his face.

Don't worry, I won't be bothering you anymore

"Alright, I'll be using 30 dom for food, and 20 kos for a bus to Merixote."

Now, back to Arizona where Bailey family lived. Kortis, and Kariko are greeted by six maids when they entered the house. The siblings are truly rich compared to Ylvin who's rock bottom. This is why no one can go against their family, they are Nobles, they have this extravagant mansion, they have three cars, they have a lot of maids who served them, they are in a simple word; wealthy.

"Aww, my babies are back." Mayumi Bailey, their mother welcomed them with a tight hug, and pecks on the cheeks.

Mayumi was pale, and skinny. She have a dark hair with an even darker eyes. She's pretty, but it's evident that their children got their appearance from their father; Klinton Bailey.

"Cough… Perfect… cough… We were just about to… cough… eat"

The dining table is filled with different food, and they are nicely plated. The family sat on their chairs, and started to dine.

"So, how did things turned out?" Asked Mayumi.

"Kariko killed the mother, and the case was closed, Mother." Kortis answered.

"Darling did?!"

"But I believe this incident has reached the higher ups." Kortis was about to eat a spoonful but he paused. "We'll be forced to send Kariko to a Mental Hospital-School soon."

"I've been… cough… thinking… cough about that too… cough, cough, cough" Klinton tried to speak but his throat failed him.

"I'm also here ya know" Kariko spoke then, she began to fill her mouth with different foods grubbily.

"I know those places are very dangerous for our princess but…"

"Waff va aym ooh hoffs wi awf?" Kariko eats more than she look, and it doesn't bother her family either. She just dumped and dumped every other foods in her mouth. No etiquette, no pause, she's such a glutton.

While, Kortis watched his sister from eating her fourth chicken to filling her glass with juice to drink. She didn't touch the pitcher nor the glass because her hands are a mess. She used her power, it is quite handy on times like this.

"I've made… cough… considerations… cough"

Suddenly, Mayumi knocked Klinton to the floor with her hands. Green lights flashed like magic. It startled the maids but the siblings only sat there like it was normal.

Then, Mayumi, and Klinton fixed their seat.

"It's gone! The cough!" Klinton looked even more refreshed after. Mayumi gave Klinton a sweet kiss on the cheeks, and left a kiss mark. While, the siblings watched them emotionlessly.

Mayumi is no doctor, maybe it counts, but she learned the ability to heal.

"So, as I was saying; I've made considerations, and has found a less strict School, but have excellent Officers" Klinton spoke loud and clear.

"Phoenix wings?" Kortis asked.

"No, the one in Merixote."

Kariko clapped twice, and caught the attention of one of the maids. "Gravy!"

"Coming right up, ma'am!"

"But Akiara the witch of war, and The Himuraki kid was there." Kortis said

"Eat carefully, Darling." Mayumi talked to Kariko, but she was ignored.

"That's why it is more suitable isn't?"

Kortis proceeded to eat while he's all ears to his father.

"It have no bad reputation other than the two menaces you mentioned."

"And me, and Victoria knew each other." Mayumi added. "But it comes down to what our princess thinks."

Mayumi turned to Kariko, but Kariko's only answer was a sudden loud burp.

"I think she likes the idea!"

"As for you Kortis, please be our eyes." Klinton said.

"With your honor, Mother, Father."

Klinton finished his plate clean first before standing. "I shall arrange things now, I have the headmaster's contact."

Meanwhile, at the police station where Ismaya was working, he shared what happened earlier to another police whom he trusted.

"Eh? Is that so?"

"That can't be helped, he really has matured now." Ismaya filled a coin bank with money. "But this thing is almost ready, he will stop sulking too."

"Are you still saving money?"

"Of course, one day, I'll buy a house for me, and Ylvin!"

Then they both laughed softly. Ismaya genuinely cares for Ylvin, and they both know that. However, that is exactly why they argued. Ylvin knows how much Ismaya have done for him, and he don't know how to pay him back other than be grateful.

A golden glow illuminated the sky as the sun started to set. The shadow of the trees, houses and the people walking around are spreading. It was not that hot, in fact it's starting to cool. The playground is now also cleared of children, and that is the time Ylvin approached the security guard.

"Say, do you have a pen and paper?"

"What do you need them for?"

Ylvin said nothing, but he was still given the pen and paper. Then, Ylvin sat on a table. He hummed a tune as he wrote on the paper. What could it be? When Ylvin finished, he gave back the pen to the security guard.

"Merci!"

"Just what are you up to?"

Ylvin suddenly stepped his right foot forward, and raised his arm. "I'm going on a journey!"

The pair of beautiful moons showed up again. It's time to sleep, for tomorrow is a big day for both Kariko, and Ylvin. How will their fates change? How will they face these fates?
