《Gate keeper》Chapter 28 Isabella's shock and Setsuna's mansion?
Advertisement
"Who are you? Why do you seem familiar." (Setsuna)
"Setsuna...I know that you didn't mean to kill Hina." (Yuki)
(Sorry I had to explain who she was so we'd get that she was somehow related to the mc.)
As a response she flinched, her left hand went straight to fixing her hair. This response made even Yuki smile. As Hina's reincarnation how can she not know that nervous habit of her own younger sister.
"You never changed even that natural response of fixing your bangs on a impulse." (Yuki)
These words froze Setsuna into place, her eyes widen as she connected the dots.
"You're one of my sisters. And the only one to talk like that is Hina. Does that mean you inherited her memories also." (Setsuna)
Leo looked at them confused but he eyed his ghoul as if to say charge those idiots ignoring me. Annoyed by the grunting ghouls behind her Yuki took out her bow from her angel wings that she hid. She shot 4 arrows at once hitting them all in the head with a splattering sound and left even Isabella stun at the accuracy of the arrow.
Isabella was shocked because she knew Yuki for centuries as a gatekeeper and the she could've only hit one target. Yet here without practice she actually hit all four of the ghouls. Setsuna glared at the ten ghouls surroundings her in anger. Then her eyes went to Leo.
The reason she hated baron class vampires was because ghouls were the closest thing to zombies she had a few runs in there with Hina as a child too. Yuki was annoyed cause it brought her unpleasant memories of when she and Aki were playing in the backyard practice grounds with their archery. This was considered a traumatic experience for her and Aki who was age 8. The graveyard for their ancestral grounds weren't too far from the two. As Yuki shot down another ghoul the flashback became more clear and she had goosebumps on her skin remembering.
They were kids back then, the two were just there because Aki asked her to teach her archery. But instead they saw corpses raising from the grave for no reason. Scarying the daylights out of the two girls who ran screaming to the rest of the family. It took them a whole year to kill those things.

She notched 3 more arrows and shot down the last 3 ghouls as Setsuna killed all five of hers. Her anger went straight to Leo for bringing back a unwanted memory of hers.
"Control." (Leo)
He nervously laughed when he saw the immortal (Setsuna) and the former ice demon stare him down. (She's still a ice demon. She just unlocked Hina's memories through Lin's memory inheritance.) Yuki was good at every other weapon but her archery, Hina was known for her archery so much so that she could be titled archery god. Isabella looked stunned when she saw Yuki expressing more emotions than before.
"By the way I go by Yuki in this life." (Yuki)
"So reincarnation huh? That's fine too but you kinda remind me of myself back when the whole I was in heaven me. You know rebellious." (Setsuna)
Yuki rolled her eyes at the joke but Setsuna shrugged as if saying worth a try. Leo was about to run. Setsuna reappeared holding him by the collar of his white t-shirt. Without warning she quickly let go of him when she felt danger. Isabella was even more stunned at the two's timing. Yuki had shot the collar and made Leo hang off the wall with her arrow. Rather she was wandering what made Yuki change so much.
"Hey he was my prey first sister." (Setsuna)
"But the boy annoyed even me before you met him." (Yuki)
"Ah fair point." (Setsuna)
"Quick question can you two let him go or else how am I to explain to Jade and Selena." (Isabella)
"Denied." (Both of them answered in sync)
Isabella was more confused at Yuki being strange and acting unfamiliar to her. Usually at the mention of their leader Jade, Yuki would consider it and let him go. Yet here she was with two unpredictable valuables in the equation. She felt more of a headache so she groaned.
"Killing him would solve future problems." (Yuki)
"And why is that." (Setsuna)
She glanced up at Yuki with her lilac emerald hair and silver eyes. Instead she got a questioning stare.
"Cause he will betray us and try to kill us again if we let him go." (Yuki)

"Oh he's like a annoying rabbit than." (Setsuna)
Yuki winced at the remark, Revric rabbits they called them that due to the size that could fit a country (meaning millions of rabbits) and those rabbits could topple kingdoms. The issue was they were like sharks on dry land. Her only thought was that's a bad reference Setsuna.
"Why the hell are you two ignoring me." (Leo)
"Shut it you disturbed my sleep when I was depressed." (Setsuna)
"Wait a immortal sleeping in depression is the worst thing to do. How the heck did you survive." (Yuki)
Setsuna shrugged like it was no big deal. Yuki face palmed when she saw that. It was as if she was saying don't know don't care I could sleep where I want to.
"So if someone say kidnaps you while you were sleeping, they wouldn't be in the wrong would they." (Yuki)
"Hey why'd you use that example." (Setsuna)
"It's cause I'm thinking modern day technology and government system." (Yuki)
"So what was the question you wanted to know." (Setsuna)
"What was the real reason you revived me and Hima back then." (Yuki)
Setsuna blinked at Yuki but didn't answer. Rather her only thought was that the god and devil that were controlling her sister then was long gone so she revived her sisters so they could live their life peacefully yet. She didn't expect Hina to attack her after she was done transforming into a devil. Which made her stab her by instincts. Setsuna avoided eye contact with Yuki.
Yuki wanted to hear the reason herself. Her hand went to her bow before she gently looked at Setsuna before sighing.
"How about we look for a place to stay where we can actually talk after we deal with the boy." (Yuki)
Isabella watched stunned as a spear of golden and silver pierced through Leo leaving a bloodied corpse that fell to the ground. Rather throughout the whole situation she felt powerless. She couldn't stop the two and the conversation they said only confused her more. It made her unable to tell heads or tails on the whole conversation. (Trans: the start to finish she couldn't understand where it started and where it ended. She just stood there and watched the whole scene unfold.)
Setsuna led Yuki to her mansion. Upon seeing the silver gates, the large miniature garden that expanded for miles on the hill, and the large castle like house. Even she paused blinking unable to say anything. She had followed Setsuna cause she said I have a place to stay. Yet she wanted to retort why the heck were you sleeping out in the streets in depression then.
"Why the hell were you on the streets then." (Yuki)
Instead she got a nervous laugh from Setsuna who was looking around.
"Don't make it seem as if I'm talking to the air. You know sleeping in the streets of a back alleyway close to the harbor could've made someone from gangs kidnap you and sold you off." (Yuki)
"Which they didn't right." (Setsuna)
"Consider it your luck they didn't." (Yuki)
They walked inside the gates as Yuki admired the flowers of the garden. Setsuna just silently walked in gloom, she was lectured by Yuki who was younger than her. Here on Iris she was seven millions years old. Yet she was lectured by a girl younger than her.
Yes she was having a identity crisis on her age. But her mind was reasoning this is your older sister which means her soul is older than yours even if you lived longer than her. This made her not know whether to laugh or cry being in this awkward situation.
"You look like your condemning yourself already." (Yuki)
Yuki guessed right, this was how Setsuna was back then and even now she hasn't changed. A smile formed on her face as Setsuna led her inside.

CODEX
The call of adventure was prevalent in Eric's mind since he was a fledgling of a boy. He loved exploring new places so much, that he happened upon a magical tome in a cave he found when he wandered around his neighbourhood. And from this tome, manifested the ghost of a dead sorceress who made a home in his mind. And so began his journey in becoming a legendary mage; and also a royal pain in the ass. NB: Just a side project made purely for fun! HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL. NO PLOT! Well, maybe a little plot. Okay, it has more plot than I first intended for it to have. And uh, there's not much, but expect profanity.Check out my edgelord book:https://books2read.com/u/mgg7dD

Shadow Emperor
In a world of magic where those who can wield the elements reign supreme our hero Savani finds himself reborn with a strange Assistance chip. Watch as he climbs higher and higher in a world far different than the one he knew and develop strength enough to stand at the top. ** Warning this story has a very slow boil as the MC begins to grow in power from scratch. Starts picking up around chapter 25. As story progresses themes of slavery, human experimentation, and some sexual content will be added. ** This is a story inspired by novels like Warlock of a Magus World and Age of Adept. I will be taking some ideas from each but trying to make my own story using the world ideas i love from these novels. I am also a first time writer mainly doing this while trapped inside due to the events going on in the world. So feedback is appreciated.
