~~Back on Earth

~Japan

~~~

Appearing in a home which was on relatively calm street in Japan was a someone who appeared to be in his late teens, a young man with a head of the darkest black hair which people may certainly fear due to its resemblance to the Void of space - eyes with iris as deep in pitch as a black hole is rumored to be, his hair was in a bed head style of sorts with bangs to yield shadows to his face a face of listless wonder- The clothes he wore were also a deep shade of black; jogger pants and a long sleeve mesh top which could were the type made for (Straight) men in naruto, above the top was a simple black cotton shirt. Tied to his pants was a dark demon fox mask with a black string. And black flip flops for his feet.

[Note: for those who would like an example its kinda like.. (Solid Color Casual Men's Harem Pants) for those who have no idea of mesh shirts and know only those for women or just would like to see what it is exactly.. (https://www.aliexpress.com/i/442471769.html)]

"So I'm home..?" The boy said.

Everything was mostly as he'd left it looking around he recognized this particular room as the living room. There was a kitchen large comparable to normal ones it was walled-off leaving the kitchen a bit to you right is a desk with a laptop on it, It was closed. Looking a bit to the left as you left the kitchen there was a sofa to seat your self room for a few with a table, leading to the living room against the wall is a table on the wall instead of sitting on a table. To the far left of you, you find stairs leading upwards. The floor made of marble rich white'ish'-gray with alternating white. Rugs with colors dark gray, blue, white, or black were placed in a decorative manner that looked good.

His wonder and the tickling excitement passed when his steps carried him to the desk. Pulling back his favorite gamer seat of blue and black he took a seat as he cut on the black laptop. Sliding his right hand across the top a slight nolstagia feeling was passing through him when he lifted the lid and input his password.

"I wonder how much time passed while I was gone from earth?" He spoke. Taking a gander at his home again from his seat before speaking, "sure couldn't have been long or this place wouldn't be as I had left it." He said as the laptop left the loading screen and went to his desktop, rather his home screen.

His home screen immediately was covered with his last opened pages which were of course.. "Un-unbelievable.. Its still here. She.." He murmered as he caressed the screen with a look of shock shaking hands following his softening eyes to the screen. On the screen a pop-up had shown him a picture of the girl who had taken care of him after he had been cast out by his family. The picture was really old and he never thought he would see it so soon, its been years since it was taken.

His mother referred to him as an accident while his bastard of a father called him 'thing-son' or reversed it some times to his own humor. His father didn't care either and said a number of times the kid had just been an accident while he was having fun with his wife.

To properly take care of the boy his father had gotten tired of caring for him at the young age of twelve, this day so happened to be his wife's birthday so he said 'what better gift than throwing out our son right?' Hence driving yonder to the other end of town and leaving him outside of someone's house before leaving as fast as he could.

Said kid was left with but the clothes on his back with miserable feelings about him. Yet they had not given him a proper; formal education so he was unsure how to respond to this. What came to his mind were the times he was allowed to play at a near by park; when it had come time to get in after dark he had to knock on the door.

Turning around in his eyes reflecting a house in the quiet neighborhood, its lawn was well cared for. The yard was maintained an excellent degree as was the house which was rather new is what it seemed. He knew he had been thrown out, unable to go back he was left without a proper well to draw from; education, money, a home. All of this was well beyond him and before he realized he was at the door and without much pause he knocked. "Coming!" He heard a voice which he came to was a girl once the door was opened. "Who is it? Huh.. Brat what are you doing here?" The voice was kind at first but with a better look at him she seemed slightly annoyed.

Viewing the lady from a short angle he spoke what he thought was closest to a proper response... Or maybe it wasnt? "Miss can I come in?" The annoyance became an irked expression as her response like. "Hah!? ...okay do me a favor first." She said after thinking. "Go get me a soda from that machine there." She said pointing across the yard at a vending machine across a small street. Following her hand he saw where she pointed - sliding his hands into his pocket he found he still had enough money that could keep him fed for maybe as long as a week with cheap foods like ramen if he ate just a bowel a day. He hesitated, 'should I find someone else? With seven days... I..' He thought.

She observed his figure and found something she recognized in other people. "You don't have too." She said while slamming the door shut in front of him.

'No! My chance' His thoughts an actions were immediate. "I'll do it!" He shouted and with determination he ventured out of the yard and to the machine buying all 16 different drinks. He instinctively ground his teeth at the disappearance of money but all he had left now was just good enough to survive barely a day buying him a single bowl ramen. A days food..

With rage at its boiling point a feeling welled up in him, he felt a word come to his tongue which his father said often around him "oops." He spoke. Still unaware that, that was actually the mocking of his father not even clearly aware of swearing yet. He 'swore' for the first time.

Grabbing all of the drinks that he purchased he dashed back to the girls house and knocked using a can as his arms and hands were unavailable. He thought to use his feet breifly but he knew enough to know that older people hated dirt and if this person would help him they deserved to be treated properly. 'Is this how it goes?' He thought.

The door opened and the girl stepped out with a single raised eye brow, "You actually had quite a bit of money on you huh?" She spoke, turning around she entered her place again making the boy think he wasted his time, he was even more miserable than before but in that instant he was brought back to that border of hopeful by her following words. "Bring them in, just set them on the table." His eyes gleamed hope reflected in the boy eyes.

Closing the door behind him self he lugged the drinks over to the table and planted them down, he stood and waited. The girl glanced over at him from the kitchen, she had been drying her hands with a towel. "I Live alone, dead parents and all.. Oh I dont mind if you sit down." He made to sit down but she had yet finished. "But!" She called startling him. "You have to shower first.. I'm not in particularly a clean freak but my shits' new looks like it right?" She spoke as her claim caused him to look around finding her true to her word all the black and gray decor, furniture and all was indeed fresh. It smelled new, it seemed new, of course they were used by this person but this made it all the more homely with her own taste. This person has a heaven defying interest in dark colors too it seemed as his sight gazed over the interior of this persons home. "So lets keep it that way ya? Go bath and meet me back here. I have something you can lather up with but... Clothes?" She wore a look of uncertainty.. "You won't wear girl clothes will you? ..Haha I guessed not!" She joked. His reaction however was a little..off. "Girl clothes?" His head tilted to the side as he made the question.

'Hes kidding' she thought. "Well if you want I have a large shirt and red garments for the lower body I don't really want. I can give them to you if that's what you want." She saw he was still looking quite confused actually dumbfounded. With an evil idea she wore an expression which expressed she thought of something which the person it was intended for would certainly disagree to. "Hold on stay right there, ill come right back." She said and left to the upstairs corridor in a hurry. Still confused the kid was left with that dumbfounded look.

"I'm back!" The girl alerted him upon jumping the last three steps down. She went in front of the boy and held up the clothes to him with but a small distance between the outfit and him. "Hmm.. I may be a natural when comes to tagging someone to a fashion suited to them. ..here put these on before you come out to see me again." The boy looked uncertain, "Is this okay?" Her eyes shone with a infatuated look of sorts it was the hunger to see this through. The result of her intuition. Or actually full intent on pulling this antic. "Absolutely now go go Go! You stink you smell absolutely horrifying. I'm terrified now go quickly." She said pushing him into the bathroom enthusiastically before slamming the door shut which was actually designed with blue, white, and gray.

"Hehe, My friends out of all of us I believe I have successfully carried out our dream!" In her mind flashed the members of the yankii group she was was part of.

The freshman girl of 14 years of age approached the sofa, took a pillow from it and dove face first or would have if not for the comforting pillow under her. She lay there for a while in thought before an excited scream left her albeit muffled by the pillow.

~

The pop-up had shown him picture of he and the girl who taken care of him all those years ago, since the time he was twelve.

This particular photo was of the time the girl invited her yankii group over atleast two years after his arrival at her place. He had met her yankii gang a year after met her through an accident. Some man had broke in when he had been at home beckoning a bento to him like it was some animal but just happened to find the kid the girl was taking care of inside. Upon meeting the boy the dude immediately tried to strangle him the assumed tresspasser. Luckily the guy was followed by her and she cleared the understanding cause this guy in particular beat people he put to sleep. Arriving just in the nick of time to clear the misunderstanding, after arguing about not telling them sooner they decided to throw a rather grand party at her place which was right around her birthday that winter so they did it then.

In the picture the the kid was challenged to pick up the girl who had taken care of him to 'test his strength', he successfully lifted her up but just in case she had put some energy into her legs should he fail. But the guys mostly mocked her for being scared provoking her go through with it and gave the boy words of encouragement.

In the end he proved successful, her figure wasn't particularly small her three sizes had already filled out too desirable sizes at such the age of 16. This picture everyone either wore a smile or were grinning their hardest, this was only the main photo; down to the corner of the right to the pop-up was a picture of her in a beautiful dress of black which suited her dirty brown but curly hair, pieces were highlighted by a deep pink hair color that was long and held by hair clips; The hair was also done back in a top ponytail by a black hair ribbon. This picture was absolutely recent.

He was caught up in that absurd death at age 16; the girl had been 18, they both attended the same school. With some fake information and drawing some strings they built his background story, she was immediately resentful when she first heard he was called 'oops' or 'the oops' around his family he told her he had no name but when his parents came around that's what they used to get his attention. While in public they just stayed near each other and mostly his father talked to him and if he need his attention he just called him 'kid' giving of the feeling of some sort of family connection.

So she ended up giving him a name. or at least she tried, when she offered a name he told her he wasn't ready so she decidingly referred to him as brother or ototo also meaning younger brother. As for how the people would call him in public he chose 'Contem' what it meant him was the present day being the beginning of his new life. Derived from the word contemporary. He thought to add 'White' for really symbolic meaning which would refer to a blank sheet he had begun but this idea was immediately chopped, shot, and brutally burned by here and they finished by just adding her own last name as his own when people got close enough they jested when saying his first name but stuck with his last name as it was preferable.

With longing the fondness, the loving bond between two he hid in the back of his mind all rushed back at him with a fierceness that shook his entire being. Subconcious shutting down was his body refinement technique he'd left on but he payed this no mind although noticed he let it be; Ignoring the power that left his body from the refined chakra. His right arm moved his hand giving a gentle meaningful caress of the picture on the screen.

"Lydia.." Spoke he softly. "Are you alright right now? ...where are you Lydia?" He spoke like this because he knew how much he meant to her. If she knew he was dead she could do alot of damage. But that's when he heard a click from the front door. Looking dead ahead behind his back was the front door - to the left of that were the steps leading upstairs.

"Lydia?" He watched the door knob twist with expectation, he hoped to see the girl he missed so.. The door creaked open as dim light from the night poured in. One step...then another. The figure stepped in but their face was twisted in a look of anguish. Her steps were filled with sorrow as she made her way to the kitchen; she turned its light on.

The living room was really really dark, to the point one must strain to see but light shone from the laptop allowed him to see. Even as a ninja he was still too green as he had not learned to see within this level of darkness yet, his eyes followed her as she made movement in the kitchen.

'What is she doing so late? School ends earlier than it is right now so where has she been?' He thought, 'Did she get out for a drink when she heard I was no longer in this world? She did not kill anybody right?' He thought cause he knew how depression works but it could be worse for a female yankii.

'Oh crap!' He hollered in his mind; distracted by his thoughts the girl he recognized as Lydia had closed the distance and already a kitchen knife was at his neck. "Hold on Lydia, I'm the last person you'd want to draw blood from." He protested with hands raised. With a dry voice that held hatred she spoke, "I don't know who you are but you have seconds to leave quietly." She gestured with the knife for him to get up and with no choice that's what he did.

Soon she had guided him out of the house and shut the door in his face...again. 'Well if this situation isn't anything like the last one...' He thought. "It isn't." He shook his head. "She believes that I am dead. ...how do I convince her I am alive though." He said with a puzzled expression.

"I am particularly interested in that apocalypse but first I should handle these things though.. I can only try." He spoke and vanished on the spot.

Lydia had just made it upstairs before she ran into the the man she'd seen down stairs. He had been waiting and rubbed his head with a nervous expression. "Lidya.." He called, seeming to notice the irritation in her face he spoke with rushed words, "I came back from the dead. I know I look really different but.. But look! I spoke to very important people while in my after life. There is suppose to be a zombie apocalypse very soon"

She sneered. "Well maybe I can die too now shove off!" She said and pushed him to the side as she past entering her room slamming the door shut.

'I should continue she's clearly not thinking straight.' He had seen the look in her eyes, the look of a girl suffering due to loss. The lost of losing one close to you. 'I can't possibly quit now.' Sasu thought vanishing only to appear in her room.

"Look! I couldn't get in through a closed door if was still normal right! I had seen the after life! I am the same kid.. I came to you years ago. ...four if we're exact." Sasu said as he locked eyes with the girl who glared into return. "I am the same one... Remember when I happened upon your door? I bought you soda." I spoke.

Lydia responded. "I don't care who you are dammit get the fuck out of my house!" She said fiercely.

The atmosphere was tense between the two; one was losing his hope, the other was in denial he couldn't tell if she believed his words so far or thought insane but he was obviously annoying the shit out of her..

"Lydia.. Remember when.. The time I..I wore girl clothes? You told me to clean up first befor-" that was all he could get out before she erupted in laughter. "Hahahaha" her loud but pleasant laughter filled the room it was a laugh of enjoyment. "Lydia..?" He said before she caught him in a hug.

"Lydia?" Sasu reached out tentatively. Her arms reached around him in a passionate hug. "What happened.. Brother?" She spoke softly.

"That's a story.." He said with a contentment that came from reaching her even though it was through the most embarrassing method. 'Did I really have to tell her like that? ...nevermind it.' Sasu thought before he looked down into her eyes, "Why don't you sit down this is gonna' be a minute." He said. "Oh boy. Well come on what could have happened in a day?" She said as she before releasing me and taking a seat on her bed.

"One day?" He her asked flabbergasted, she nodded. "The hell is going on?" Sasu spoke. This was unexpected, from the pop-up on the screen downstairs Sasu knew it had to be taken recently the one she took on her own. She looked the same as when before Sasu was hit by the truck in that absurd situation.

"How long were you gone?" She said pulling Sasu from his thoughts, raising an eyebrow he said. "I was in other world for a week actually."

"Huh? You're right! What the fuck is with that?" She spoke.

Sasu shook his head, "I should just tell you my story."

Nodding she said, "Mhm, do tell."

Sasu walked over her desk and took a seat in her chair as he done plenty of times before. More of that familiar feeling washed over him before he began to go over in his mind what happened after being hit with an absurd situation. 'How and why would the truck come from the sky?' He thought but shook his head. On her bed was she waiting his now relieved sisted, she was notably more vibrant too. Seeing his sister come from depressed to happy was certainly an improvement, one that made him smile from his heart.

"Well lets get on with it." He said with a loose smile tugging his lips.

~

"Hohhh!? Really I wanna see! Summon the skeleton!" She said as her eyes lit up in excitement.

Sasu had recounted his tale unto her telling her first about his meeting with the goddess of course not adding how close they were in that time. 'Even though me and the goddess are just friends it feels like I'm missing something.. There's something more to her.. This, Everything I'll find answers eventually.' Sasu thought in his pause as he resumed telling her about his time in the Naruto world. How he trained by fighting with bears starting with his first encounter with the bear when he appeared in the world of Naruto. Carrying on he explained his first attempt at tree jumping and was sorely laughed at as she admitted if she saw it she would have laughed too. Signaling for him to continue she finally stopped laughing then he went on telling her his meeting with the bandit.

"Wow! He was really arrogant tell me you kicked that guys ass!" She spoke humoring me a bit. This made Sasu laugh as he felt the load that he hadn't realized was there had finally been lift from his shoulders. He shook his head.

"That's when he showed up.." Sasu spoke with an ominous glare.

"Huh?" She saw his eyes and immediately felt worried for him. With a serious look she spoke, "Tell me what happened."

Sasu nodded and told her about his appearing in the village with the annoying jonin who stalked him after leading him into the village and exposing an important ability to the hokage.

"Wait so what's the limit of this regeneration? Are you finally one of those zombies now?" She asked while lifting an eyebrow.

Chuckling at her jest he spoke, "Most things can't kill me.. Poisons are useless as I could heal before they had a chance to take affect but if that wasn't enough my secondary innate ability keeps such things at bay. Still I went ahead and asked for something that allows me to eliminate life threatening ailments like those."

"I don't understand whats the difference between those two?" She spoke.

"What?" I said in question. 'Did I explain it wrong?' Sasu wondered but she helped him realize it was a similar case.

"You kept saying innate ability this; skills and abilities that. I don't know what you mean by these two? Are they not both abilities too." She spoke and he agreed it was indeed confusing the way he was explaining it. He opted to elaborate a little.

"Innate abilities are the ones I call which I received before my first rebirth-" She cut him off. "You died twice?" She said eyes widening. He nodded in response, "I'll explain that in time." She nodded.

"Innate abilities are what I was given after I died on earth. My time in between dying on earth and going to Naruto. What the goddess gave me." She nodded with understanding. "Skills and abilities I refer to those differently because I gain them during my time in Naruto, most of my abilities so far I was given to better help me adjust to using what I was given upon being incarnated into this world and I say I have gotten the hang of them. ...to an extent." Sasu said.

"What does extent mean here?" She said raising an eyebrow again.

"My arm and just about half my body was blown to pieces or most fittingly torn up by his rasengan just before he hit me with an unexpected attack before killing me." Sasu spoke bitterly as Sasu disagreed with that outcome.

"Where did he hit you?" She inquired. Sasu answered by scratching then pointing at his head with closed eyes. "Well if I understand correctly instant regeneration heals right? So instead of dying didn't you just get knocked unconscious from a hit to the head?" She said causing my eyes to widen. "It sounds like you were hit and knocked unconscious before you could consciously witness your body regenerate and its instantaneous so I expect it happened just as the rasengan left your body. No I'd deduce that if you keep it active your body was regenerating even during his attack so maybe you had not been harmed to begin with I reckon." She said a mouthful, this had actually made him feel a whole lot better and actually meant alot to him. He thought he had wasted his second life! In seconds he had her in a hug of his own. "Thank you Lydia!" Sasu said as she pet his back. She responded to her brother that was like this, "That's what I'm here for right? By the way... You go by Sasu now is that it?" She asked as they released each other and he stood to his height wiping his eyes with a hand. He looked at her and shrugged.

"Will you keep my last name-"She asked appearing hopeful. But was cut off, "Of course." Sasu smirked, "Just what do you think we are!" He said with a rare flaming passion in his eyes.

She smiled contentedly, "I see.. So one could call you Sasupenshon Okaibu?"

Sasu nodded in confirmation, but that was met with her uttering an. unexpected statement.

"Sasu is really good but I have something I think will do you justice.. Want to listen?" She spoke suddenly. He gulped but nodded expectantly at her proposal. "I was thinking... ..Wakai Okaibu Sasu! What do you think!" She proposed excitedly. Sasu thought the first word meant young but he always punched blank with the meaning of his last name. 'Still its just a name is it not?' Smiling he decided if it made Lydia happy then is it not worth it? So he nodded.

"Is it good? Phew! I was hoping you I didn't just tag your name with shit, ya know?" She spoke. "Haha your naming sense was always better than mine." He said feeling confident in her naming sense. 'Thousand times better than mine hehe' he thought.

"Really!? What happened next?" She asked and he continued telling her up to the point where he was brought back by the first dragon in existence and his meeting with the dragon in elf form as well as what they discussed.

"Hey.. Wakai, don't tell anyone else about what he told you alright?" Lydia said suddenly serious. She spoke with the utmost seriousness he'd ever seen from her. To his surprise she added another thing to the list of unmentionables, "Dont mention your full name either. No matter who anyone is no one and I mean nobody knows of it understand?" She spoke wearing a deathly serious ambience.

As surprised as he was he nodded. "Suspend your ability to speak of it. Actually its maybe better to suspend it from memory and existence for a short time. And use Sasu as an alias." She spoke in the same deathly serious tone.

This request had blown Sasu out of the water, "Why?" He asked shocked. It was like she was asking him to lock up his house, chain his foods in the fridge, chain it all up. Its as ridiculous as chaining up and locking up dust particles. "It's just that.. Its actually important to me ya know?" She spoke fidgeting slightly.

Seeing her like this Sasu did not really get it but agreed to it if it would make her happy. He breathed before speaking, "Alright so when will I remember it... Rather until when shall I forget?" Her mood immediately.

Her eyes lit up as she wore a vibrant smile, "Ahh, So you really will do it for me? Yay!!" She said with extremely cheerful pose. Seeing her like this made him glade he agreed, Sasu waited for her to answer as he wore a game smile. "So I want you to forget until..." Her last words were immediately given a fierce reply. "That won't EVER happen! Never!! Not if I'm around to do something about! Even when I'm not around still I will-" She cut him off by calling his name which caused him to relax a little, "Nothing last forever." She spoke and just as he was about to cut her off she rose a hand and continued to speak, "Still let me impart these words.." She looked into his eyes, "I believe in you, you are the only one I will place my faith in because.. You are my brother ya' know?" She spoke with confidence full belief in him.

Sasu's heart beat slowed and calmed down, "I will do it." He spoke. "Good!" Lydia spoke with a look of happiness.

Sasu closed his eyes and opened them almost a minute later. A brief look of confusion was planted on his face before he said, "Where were we? Ahh, would you like to see a skeleton?" He spoke.

"Yea I never seen one before! This should be spooky right?" She asked him as she blatantly ignored the lapse in memory with a smile plastered on her visage. "Yea I suppose so? This is actually my first time summoning one."

"What about before you left Naruto?" She spoke.

"Ah, I didn't really get to look at them but my chakra felt a major change to the environment." Sasu spoke honestly.

"Well why don't we see this one together?" She lifted a finger before her lips as she was seemed in thought. In a moment she snapped her fingers and looked back at Sasu, "Why don't you summon something small. Thats already sounding like a plan!" Sasu thought for a second and said 'okay' to him self and he stood in near Lydia as he positioned for a skeleton to be summoned in the middle of the room.

For a second nothing happened making them both look slightly confused. Sasu had been expecting a magic sigil but instead a skeleton appeared in the middle of the room out of thin air. Its appearance were rich black bones with empty eyes sockets with but a dull blue light emitting from them. A human skeleton.

Sasu looked proud while looking at his summon with mild interest but in turning to see his long time friend Lydia he noticed a look of shock and then a moment later it was replaced with a look of fascinaton. "So this is the skeleton summon of your abilities?" She said as she stood and rounded the skeleton with a look of inspection.

Sasu looked down at the weapon which the skeleton already equipped in its left hand. "Give me your sword!" Sasu eyes narrowed when he demanded the skeleton's sword. Fixing it self with a somewhat elegant posture as it approached him then dropped to a knee as one foot was forward. It held the sword by the handle down near the guard; point to the floor, allowing Sasu to take the sword in his hand.

"Wasn't that kind of him your majesty?" Lydia teased Sasu before she had been offered the handle as Sasu held near the sword's guard; point down. "You will be practicing.. I will train you in what I've learned so far for self defence." Sasu spoke resolutely getting a surprised shout 'Ehh!?' From Lydia. Sasu chuckled at her response, "Well that is what I should do.. I know but in thee end I've decided to just give you an entire army of monsters." Sasu said in a careless manner as if it was nothing.

"I ain't weak! I won't let you treat me like some weakling who can't defend herself.." Lydia shouted. Slightly shocked by her outburst Sasu remained unmoved, "Even armies have safety measures... Back-up, tactic and strategy. This is an apocalypse, for your survival my will be done Lydia."

Lydia frowned, "Your will? ... And mine? What about me?! Does my opinion matter or has the power already fucked up that head of yours?" Sasu looked plain as day which was the expression he wore when he spoke, "Then what do you suggest Lydia.". Lydia responded with shocked Sasu, "You will take me along with you where ever you go during that shitty apocalypse! Don't think you can just leave me behind in some army for my protection! If you want me safe then do it your self!" She shouted going in between the ill mannerisms she had as a yankii. Sasu thought as he looked in her eyes a moment before his head tilted back allowing him a view of the ceiling above.

Sasu remembered the times where she would help him when kids would exclude him while he was young. He wasn't really allowed to hang out with her until he got into her high school, once he was found by one of her brothers who came to her house looking for Lydia's bento was he able to hang out with them when their activities were on a relatively safer side. As he got older he was able to do almost anything he wanted although they introduced him to booze when he was a first year, a freshman in high school.

Sasu remembered his first taste of alcohol but the memory was simply to hazy to piece together. Putting back the memory together usually gave him a splitting headache but this time it was mostly numb and could be ignored but he decided to remember later. 'For now....' He thought, as he brought his attention back. "Fine, but I will have a set of summons with me as well when this thing hits the fan." He spoke.

"Great!" She said as she stretched her limbs then twisted her back to loosen up any tenseness. "But what will we do for now? And what about this guy?" She said as she sat down and pointed a foot at the skeleton still on its knee.

Sasu regarded the skeleton and spoke, "I can unsummon him but I thought to test its abilities first." Lydia regarded her room for a moment, It was neither big nor small. "Its fine with me. Go at it and show me what you learned the 7 days you were gone in other world." She said with a smile that would normally intimidate others he seen her use plenty of times on others.

Without words Sasu summoned his dagger of ice over his hand before taking hold of it. He gave the skeleton back its sword and it stood as he nodded before hearing a fascinated whistle from behind causing him to look back at Lydia. "That's some blade you got there." She said with a short applause.

Sasu smiled but wore a serious look when returning his attention back to the skeleton. "Attack." Sasu ordered. With no hesitation known to its bones it rushed Sasu at breakneck speed and their blades met before it spun on its phalanges and sesamoid bones with its right foot swinging its sword at Sasu which was deflected by Sasu who swung his sword in return.

The skeleton sent a quick barrage of stabs towards Sasu's abdomen but he deflected them without much difficulty while he studied the skeleton's moves. It launched a kick which was again block by the sword but unexpectedly there was more to the attack. Twisting in the air it kicked out with its other foot before climbing higher into the air, maintaining that momentum it rotated as it kicked the sword each time until it reach the tip finally snap kicking Sasu in the Jaw sending him flying back with force.

"Sasu?" Lidya called before she saw the skeleton charge the still flying Sasu whose hair covered his face leaving his expression a mystery. She had nothing that could form a proper weapon in arms reach but her bag so she grabbed it and just when she was planning to throw it she realized Sasu disappeared and reappered in front of the skeleton giving it a kick to the skull. The skeleton shrugged it off and cut crescently with its ordinary blade leaving a gash in his cheek. Now irritation began to creep into his face, Sasu formed a four spiked club of ice in his right hand which looked to made by a blacksmith. He swung it with no specific technique lieu smashing it against its head using power that made it skid towards a near by bookcase.. Rather almost until that was intercercepted by Sasu appearing at its side and bashing it in the head again causing its skull to shatter and fall to the floor in pieces. The body began to fall back from the force of the blow but before it did completely the club in his hand reformed into a long sword before Sasu cut it down the middle; causing the skeleton to fall in two halves.

Sasu released a breath at the same time dismissing the summoned skeleton and his sword at once. His face regained a normal expression as he spoke, "regenerate" making all wounds done or damage regenerate.

Applause came from his back and he looked back at Lidya with shock before giving her a embarrassed smile. "That was quite the show." Lidya spoke, "That combo was amazin'! what did you do!?" She said excitedly.

"I was just making use of a certain skill... I used the demonic walker skill to get to him and finish him off." He spoke.

"But you were in the air do you not need to touch anything for it to activate?" She questioned.

"My sword." Sasu said indicating he used his sword as the surface thereby meeting requirements to use the technique. Sasu responded and she gave a 'ahh' which expressed both surprise and understanding. "That's pretty clever of you actually." She spoke, "So was that skeleton specifically strong or not?"

Sasu nodded, "That specific skeleton was from some abyss somewhere. When I was summoning I just thought about something ominous and relatively skilled. That was a variant skeleton the information tells me it's pretty low rank in the world it comes from. The ranks of this world being low, med, high and 1-7 being their ranks in power. This skeleton was low 7; a high rank amongst the others ranking of the 'low' category." Lydia lifted an eyebrow and Sasu spoke again, "This information is apparently a hidden kink to my entity summon ability, with a vague description of what I want it attempts to meet my demands with a match. Upon summoning it I get most of the information on it like where it came from, ranking and the rank standards its world uses. Also I get information on its specialty including the attitude or aggro of my summon. That answers your question?" He asked.

"Yup! By the way..." She said and Sasu gave a questioning 'hm?' "You won't be going to school anymore." He asked her why because even though school never interested him he had fairly good memories there.

"You are dead in this world. And even if your appearance isn't too... Actually its TOO DIFFERENT!" She shouted. "First your hair why is it dark it doesn't reflect light at all, your clothes... Nevermind you might actually make it as a cosplayer!" Sasu rolled his eyes at this. He liked cosplay but was more the type to see someone else's then to actually dress up. "Right there! Your eyes too they suck in the light! Ah ah my eyes!" She said in fear which made him roll his eyes in annoyance. "Haha, lighten up. You actually look pretty good. So good in fact I expect women should be all over you soon as they lay eyes on you." She stood up and approached him with small steps before she reach him and stared up into his eyes, "Onee-San has had a looong day and I need to change but before that..." She wrapped him in her arms giving him a loving hug with her head was against his chest she stayed like that a moment before lifting her eyes and looking into his which held a seemingly slight embarrassed yet curious look and held in place by her at the same time.

That's when she closed in planting a kiss on his cheek too his surprise leaving him stock still as red crept over his skin in a blush. "Thank you." She said after taking a step back.

As the red on his face was becoming increasingly apparent he vanished from the room using his ability like teleportation.

Seeing his embarrassment Lydia laughed a bit before turning to her wardrobe she opened it before choosing night clothes, after she finally switched her clothes she slowly approached her bed, cutting off the near by light she layed down on the bed pulling the sheet back she covered only her lower half.

Laying on her side she positioned herself comfortably. 'An apocalypse is in three weeks huh' With a thought on the careless side she drifted off to sleep.
