The early chapters still going glacial. Read An note at the bottom of chapter one for my reasons.

Alita
I arrive on the balcony of Ash's apartment at the same time as Inari. After work coming back here is a joy as it's the first place I can call a home besides heaven. Also it's nice to take a load off. Work has become as Ash would say a Chore for both of us. We would rather spend more time with Ash like when we were attached to his soul.
"We deal with that puppy tonight right?" Inari says.
"Yea I have a plan to take care of her." I reply.
"Good. We have waited too long some more than others but still no god damn mutt is going to stop me now!" Inari shouts.
"Seriously. Though we have to be careful Ash adores that puppy and if we make a mistake it will backfire on us."I remind her.
"*Sigh* Yea I know. But still how do you plan to stop Ash from giving her power to break out of your trap?" She asks
"Oh thats simple we will be naked."
We share knowing smirks and head inside.
Right away both of our grins drop from our faces.
"Inari?"
"Yea I feel it too."
Both of us bolt towards the bedroom and burst in. Ash shoots awake and looks at us groggily. While Ciar is staring daggers at us.
"What the hell!? It's 4am! I need my rest to deal with my family tomorrow!" Ash says grumpily.
"Darkness give Ash back his body now!" Inari shouts and start gathering power.
"Huh?"
I take a look at Ash using my soul sight and see Darkness. It is revolving like a mad vortex in his soul. The black hole that silently spun no longer there. It completely overshadowed the other two elements.
"Inari...Darkness is attached mind, body, and soul." I say tears forming in my eyes.
Inari's eyes turn murderous. She starts building up power to annihilate him. Ash's eyes open wide at the sight.
"Whoa!Whoa! Hold on Inari its me! Do not shoot that holy shit man!" Ash hurries and tries to stop her.
"Goodbye Darkness." She get ready to unleash her power.
"Goddess damn it woman its fucking me watch. Hey god can you go- AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Fuck me!" Ash start rolling on the floor while holding his head.
Inari starts powering down while we trade confused looks.
"*Sigh* I guess there are some things I should tell you."

Ash
After explaining how truly special my elements are Inari and Alita were beyond pissed. The looks on their faces would make the toughest men alive beg and cry.
"So let me get this straight your elements retained both their souls and memories of their live in different dimensions. They have been silently coaching you without us knowing. Darkness fused his very being into you. And you decided to hide all of this from us because they told you too. Did I get everything?" Inari's tone was downright deadly.
"Yea pretty much." Somehow I was able to keep calm.
"*Sigh* Fine nothing we can do about it now. What are you at as far as mastery of them?" Shes asks.
"Oh uh haven't checked in a while. let me see." I look in myself to see what my sync is with my elements. What I saw surprised the hell out of me.
"Well I'll be damned. Darkness is at 40% lighting is at 35% and Ice is at 35%. That's one hell of a boost since last time. Then again when Ice showed me that move against Abyss some improvement should've been a given." I say
Inari is now looking at me like I am a monster. "How is that even- just how- What the fuck are you!?" She shouts.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
I am a little taken aback by her shout. "What? Is it the Ice boost? She is technically my prime element of my prime elements."
"NO! It's the fact that you have access to all of them as a two tail and are almost at half mastery! I can name a thousand 7 tails who aren't even that far!" She seems to be having a bit of a breakdown.
"Well.. Maybe it's my human DNA." Both girl gives me a confused look.
"How so?" Alita asks.
"Well lets put it this way. Humans live about 70-80 years right? While Kitsune live...." I shoot Inari a look.
"Depending on whether or not they get their ninth tail then they are Ageless." She says.
My eye twitches at that. Goddess damn immortal assholes! Why do we not have vrmmos? You bastards could've of totally had that shit made by now! I was seething internally.
"Anyway. As a human I almost reached about a fourth of my lifespan. So maybe my abilities are being sped up. To compensate the difference. So it shouldn't be weird for me to gain my next tail before I am thirty." I say my math is probably a bit off then again I was just rudely awoken.
"I guess thats possible....But why would you give off Darkness's aura now?" Alita asks
"Back in Chernobyl there were a few instances were my mood changed for the worst. But ever since I found out what my Grandmother did to me my anger has been impossible to keep in check at least towards her. Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day to say the least." I say.
"What did your grandmother do to you?" Inari asks.
"Right you guys don't know. We'll she put the magical equivalent of a chastity belt on me. One that comes with a serious amount of pain." I then filled them in on what Sam and Clare informed me of earlier.
When I mention the girls Alita and Inari's faces warped for a split second. Wonder what that's about? Eh I probably imagined it nothing to worry about. Then their faces took on the visage of pure rage.
"That fucking bitch!!!" Alita shouts.
Inari and I were gapeing at her. She wasn't done yet either.
"That speciest fucking cunt! How dare that wrinkled old whore do that to you! I swear to god I am going to make her dusty cunt ass regret ever messing with you!" Her words kept getting darker and darker.
At this point Inari, Ciar, and I were all cowering on the bed. Inari making sure not to touch me. Because this is Alita saying all of this in rage and anger we were all a little scared.
"Master isn't she suppose to be an angel?" Ciar asks.
"....Yea...." Was all I gave. I was honestly terrified.
Mental note: Alita has a limit.
Alita spins and glares at me. "So does this mean we can't even share the same bed for the night!?" Her eyes were glowing with power. Her tone had a dangerous edge to it.
I just nod my head. Her eyes pick up in intensity then she marches out of the bedroom leaving scorched footprints along the floor.
She goes out on the balcony and screams."RAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" A blast of pure holy energy shoots out toward a fallen Cherien ship and obliterates it.
This wasn't some small ship either it was about half the size of the city and lay half submerged in Lake Michigan. Which unless you have supersight you can't even see from here. Yet she took it out from this distance in one blow.
I was just given a peek at Alita's true strength. Not going to lie I am both terrified and turned on at the same time.
"Huh I guess she needs it more than me after all." I hear Inari say behind me.
