I had a Seal specifically made for this kind of situation, and while that would get us out of trouble at once,
I knew that the tracker would've taken the opportunity to change their pattern and avoid making mistakes if Baraqiel was alerted.
…
But what if I tried to trick our pursuer?
Engaging a battle right now would be cumbersome for me.
Kunou and Koneko were the only one that had some legitimate fighting prowess, with Ingvild's abilities relying on her natural Devil disposition and her Sacred Gear meant to weaken Dragon targets.
Considering the chances of us being trailed by someone with dragonic nature… yeah, I wasn't going to bite that bullet right now.
Thus I had a single plan in mind. One that could end up with me getting some heavy lecturing from Baraqiel, but if it all worked as perfectly as I wanted, then it was going to be the only thing I was going to worry about once this was all over.
"Oh, before I forget," I muttered loudly, interrupting the conversation the girls were busying themselves with. "There is something that I forgot to give you, Ku-chan."
The blonde blinked in confusion at first, but then her eyes widened as I reached for her right hand, leaving the paper with the seal in there.
She glanced at it just briefly before tensing up in recognition. "N-Niichan-"
"I want you to use it when I tell you. Then you tell him to find me as quickly as possible."
"What is going on?" Koneko asked, turning to her Kohai. Ingvild looked confused too, but she didn't speak, realizing that I was quite serious about the situation.
"Seal to home. Stalker," I answered curtly. "Both of you keep near to Ku-chan. I will see you soon."
"I… O-Ok," Kunou muttered before nodding with a determined look. Silence ensued for a while as I started to count how much time I would have to turn the nearby corner and bolt away in a safer position.
…
"Now."
My voice was louder, and the young Kitsune activated the seal, opening a portal right back to the living room of my house. Once they disappeared from sight, I bolted away from the current position, leaving some cracks on the concrete of the sidewalk with that sudden blitz.
I was glad nobody was around to see this, but I wasn't planning to fight in the streets. I needed somewhere that would avoid dragging attention on me. A place that was naturally inaccessible…
And that was the roof of a building.
Using some Silver Linings, I propelled myself over a parking lot with multiple floors. Once I had landed atop of a large unused area, I took a moment to look around for any hints of our pursuer and… nothing happened.
Frowning, I lessened my guard just for a moment, looking more for anything that could give me sight over the stalker and… I paused when I saw a black cat curling on the roof of one of the cars nearby.
One would easily confuse it for a simple stray kitty that had wandered to a spot where to enjoy some sun but… I could feel some magic from it.
A familiar.
Which meant that its owner had to be nearby and-
Behind!
I rolled just in time, the dark blur that dived for my back ended up slamming and crashing part of the surface we were standing on.
Taking a guarded stance, I allowed the dust to settle- to reveal that my worries were indeed true in front of me.
"Nya~ You're faster than last time."
"And you are as cheeky as I remember you."
The rebuttal was met with a raspberry. "Meanie, I know ya love my company."
"Only if you submit so I can haul you to Grigori's own prison."
A huff left Kuroka's lips as she adjusted her Kimono, a mirthful expression on her face as she straightened herself up.
"My, oh my, you say one thing and then you behave like a pervert," The woman accused giddily. "'Submit me'? I didn't know you were into that stuff, Matey."
"I can use that word in its proper usage, but I suppose you lack the maturity to understand that," I replied fiercely. "And… Matey?"
"You like it? It's a pet name I wanted to use with you. You see… you made me think a lot of things about my life,"
Kuroka explained, sounding as genuine as she could be. "It was a little after I was kicked by that crazy brigade after being 'beaten by a lowly member of Grigori'. Do you know anything about him?"
She was… out of the Khaos Brigade?
"Only that he is currently napping away from Kuoh and from Japan altogether."
Before I had the chance to say more, I found myself backing away as she rushed towards me. I blocked the first three punches, then rolled away to dodge two rapid kicks.
"Li-ar~!" The woman rebuked before allowing a brief giggle. "Still, I respect the fact you're trying to keep your appearances.
If some of my former bosses knew that you were here… they would definitely try to siege Kuoh much earlier than planned."
I formed two Light Lances, busying my hands as I bolted towards her. She erected a couple of concrete walls from the floor of the roof.
I slammed through, piercing easily through the barriers, but failing to catch up with the faster Nekoshou.
"You're really going all in with that stupid act, aren't you? I can't see you ditching the fun place like that."
My banter was met with a sigh, my offensive halted and countered by numerous balls of Ki rushing towards me.
I blamed senjutsu, the skill allowing the dark-haired catgirl to keep on going with this, barraging me with Ki blasts-
Goddammit, I miss Dragon Ball!
"That's why I was the one kicked, and not the one that quit!" She remarked dryly. "I swear, it seems like you're not even listening. And that needs to change if you want to have a happy life as my mate."
