Satsuki:...
Varakiel: "no one will miss you, no one will care if you were there, just like you don't care for others, you are strong, but how far that strength can take you? you're young, even if you don't see it like that, you're reckless, ambitious, bold, you're nothing special, just another human being."
Satsuki: no, i am satsuki kiryuin!
Varakiel: "and i am varakiel fateburn matoi, what about it? your name means nothing if you don't give it a purpose, if you were to die as now, you would be remembered in books as a tyrant that did nothing good for humanity future, and then in 2 or 3 years forgotten."
Satsuki:..!!
Satsuki for the first time felt despair, and fear.
Varakiel: "what are you feeling now is what all humans have felt since they were born, you will feel helpless, because humans weren't made to be alone, it's time for you to wake up from your delusion, you are just a human"
Satsuki: what a piece of cloth would know?
Varakiel: "oh but i am not a piece of cloth satsuki, i was a human before."
Satsuki:....what?
Varakiel: you don't know this but you know what's the secret material for kamui's?
Satsuki: pure life fiber, yeah i know that much.
Varakiel: how little you know, the secret material is a human body.
Satsuki: …..what!?
Varakiel: aye, for a kamui to be able to synchrony with their host they need to know the complexity that is the human body, Soichiro kiryuin discovered that when created your junketsu, and isshin matoi perfectioned the technique with me.
Satsuki: perfectioned?
Varakiel: have you never wondered why your junketsu moves so erratically? he moves like a beast? junketsu was created using a human baby.
Satsuki:.....
Satsuki was horrified, she has seen a lot of things in Revocs and life fiber investigation but using a baby, a new life that has reached the world, is plain out sick.
Satsuki:....and what about you? did isshin matoi turned you into a kamui?
Varakiel: he didn't turned me into a kamui, i asked him to.
Satsuki: what?
Varakiel: you see when i was young isshin matoi adopted me with what purpose to take care of ryuko matoi. and he asked me to protect a daughter of his friend too, satsuki kiryuin.
Satsuki:..... is this the reason why are you making us work together?
Varakiel: "quite, i made a promise to soichiro and isshin when i became a kamui, than i would protect both of them with my new life"
Satsuki: but i don't even know you.
Varakiel: "then we can begin, i am Varakiel Fateburn matoi kiryuin. nice to meet you satsuki-chan~"
Satsuki:...
Varakiel: "I know you can't trust me right now, but my teaching are the real deal, please, give it a try, leave your pride, your ambitions everything behind, and work with ryuko, believe me, i just want the two of you to be happy"
Satsuki: be….happy?
Varakiel: "mhm exactly, but for that you must become stronger, stronger than whatever ragyo is making, and if you weren't able to become that strong, i will give me life to protect you, both of you deserve a family, an actual family"
end of flashback.
Satsuki: Was it truly to protect us that led him to?...but still I must use junketsu, it's the only way to fight ryuko matoi and varakiel.
Soroi: i understand, milady.
Iori: is that wise, uncle?
Soroi: shiro, if you are my nephew, understand this one thing quickly. once lady satsuki has made her mind, nothing can dissuade her. all we can do is support her in that decision.
Satsuki: no, there's someone who could do such feat.
Soroi: ah right right.
Iori: who is that?
Soroi: that's a secret for now, shiro.
Iori: secret?
Satsuki: soroi. iori. i am asking much of you. however, continue to indulge me for a while longer.
Nui: oh, so you've been pushing yourself pretty hard, lady satsuki.
the voice of nui harime comes from the intercom.
Iori: who said that!?
Satsuki: that voice…is that you, harime?
Nui: indeed it is!
Iori: when did the high order tailor come aboard!?
Nui: I go wherever I want. no one can stop that.
Satsuki: What do you want?
Nui: oh, don't be all, "what do you want?" it's mistress ragyo. she says she wants a firsthand report of the school raid trip's results. i wasn't doing anything because a certain someone banned me from getting inside honnouji academy so i came all the way here to welcome you in person!
Satsuki: hmph, you just came to watch senketsu and junketsu fight.
Nui: i can't put one past you, lady satsuki! you're the only one who truly understand me!
Satsuki: amusing, coming from someone who defies understanding.
Nui: okay, let's head on back to the mansion, shall we?
Satsuki: *sigh* iori. send word to the elite four. "my return will be delayed. all students are to remain on alert until you arrive at honnouji academy. until you are home, the raid trip is still underway."
Iori: at once!
Soroi: *sigh* satsuki-sama it appears that we have time for another cup of tea.
Satsuki: if you may, please…..
Soroi then gets close to satsuki and whispers to her.
Soroi: satsuki-sama, varakiel-sama gave me this medicine for occasions like this, he seems to know ragyo-sama very well.
soroi shows satsuki a bottle of pills.
Soroi: he said that aslong you eat this your brain will block from your memory any nasty and unpleasant memories that you might experience with your meet up with ragyo, and this is are his words "isshin told me what she does to you, i am sorry, truly sorry that i can't do anything to help you, my dear sister, forgive me, please use this"
Satsuki:....so if i eat this after that i won't remember it?
Soroi: he said something more like you will believe it was just a bad dream, i just embellished it a bit.
Satsuki:.....okay.
satsuki take the pill bottle.
Satsuki:....if he gave it to me it must be for a good reason ... .and he's right I hate every second of it. someday i will make it stop.
Soroi: mhm, i know you will do it.
