The Villainess only wants to go home

Chapter 37 - Feeling the loss of home

I had thought I would never see the face that would mark my end but right now Diana's ex-fiancé is chasing after me with Edmond the douche bag next to him.

'Where the hell did that bastard appear from?' I thought meeting Edmond was bad this guy he takes the cake. I want to go home.

"DIANA, IN ORDER OF THE CROWN PRINCE I COMMAND YOU TO STOP RIGHT NOW!" Damon yelled out to me, but I ignored him and took a sharp to the left and leaped over the huge gap between the house and shop. Landing silently as usual I bolted off again without slowing down.

I looked behind and saw the two stopping and looking down then to each other.

'Heh good luck jumping over without missing the land' I grinned in victory. "HEHE, those dumb humans try jumping that. MUHAHAHA" Homura roared with joy.

But we both spoke to soon when Damon used his magic to create a golden bridge across to my side with Edmond following behind.

I clicked my tongue and pursued on running, leaping over the huge gaps. "That was just unexpected" Homura said in a gloomy manner.

'I'm going further and further away from the blacksmith and I'm loosing breath." I started to pant heavily. "Oi you better not start slowing down. We have to lose chase or else those nut jobs are going to catch up with us" Homura warned me, I heard a hint of worry in his voice.

"I'll try to lose them" I said under my breathless voice.

"I thought you were an assassin. Shouldn't you have more stamina then this" this sly fox never stops pointing out my secrets.

"Your just disappointing me every second" he said.

"Homura there are things that you don't know about me, and I want to keep it that way" I said trying to catch my missing breaths.

"Like what, your from another world?" my heart sank to the bottom. "How did you know" I leaped over another gap nearly missing due to my tired legs.

"I heard you mumble strange words in your sleep." He confessed.

"I don't know you tell me. It was some unknown language I had never heard before plus you said something of Tokyo and Daisuke and God forgive me" he explained.

To be honest I don't know what I dreamt last night but this fox never ceases to surprise me.

"And I know that there is no such thing as Tokyo or the strange language" he said while I leaped over a chimney nearly tripping. I'm getting at my limits; my heart wants to explode from all that beating, and my legs are giving up on me.

"Tch if I told you that I'm an assassin from another world far more advanced but died to a betrayal to reincarnated into a body would you believe me" I explained trying my hardest to speak under my panting breath, tasting the awful iron liquid in my mouth. I need to stop and rest before I collapse from exhaustion.

Homura was quite not saying a word like he was in deep thought. "Did you see God?" he asked.

"IS THAT WHAT YOUR CARING ABOUT. IF I SAW GOD OR NOT" I yelled in frustration.

"Yes. I just want to prove to you humans that there is a God" he smirked.

"Yes, not physically but I heard him, and he wasn't very happy with me"

"I wouldn't be either" "thanks Homura for the compliment"

"DIANA" both Edmond and Damon screamed out.

"Stop." Homura ordered. "Why?" I asked furiously.

"Your going to collapse and I'm heavy. Stop and take your breath" he begged me, his amber eyes looking straight into mines begging with his worried eyes to stop. This stupid fox when did he start caring about a lost soul.

"Please".

Finally giving in, I obeyed him. I slowly came to a jog then to stop. My legs gave out on me and collapsed. 'Stupid, weak body'

I wanted to curse at this body, at everyone and everything. Why was I in such a mess? Why can't God just take me home now? I want to go home. Out of this mess, out of this stupid frail body that can't run a kilometre without collapsing. I would have be in my room by now, sleeping or pulling an all nighter playing video games with Daisuke or watching anime. But no. I'm just running away from people I don't want to interfere with at all.

Tears came prickling down my eyes. 'Why had I fallen in love with a dirty scum bag like you, Itami'

I sat silently, hunched over and with a sense of loss so powerful that my muscles wouldn't respond to me. I could hear them running closer.

I let my tears keep falling, every dread and anger came rolling out in tears. 'I just want to go home that is all I ask. So why? Why can't you give it me?'

"Artemis?" Homura whispered in concern, his little head tilted to the side in confusion and his honey amber eyes was saddened. I hugged the little creature and snuzzled my face, hiding away the wet and gloomy face.

"I just want to see Daisuke again"
