"Ah~, Ah~ More~ give me more~"
A voice of a woman in drown in pleasure can be heard from outside of Kuro apartment while one of the neighbors knocked the door harshly and yelled to them, Taiga awkwardly stood next to her and said "wow, someone's having the time of her life".
Kuro didn't answer his words and silently dropped her head toward the ground. A fool Taiga was, nonchalantly he said "What? Are you not going inside?", he shifted his gaze to Kuro and saw her trembling, only for him too late to realize that it was Kuro room. Hesitantly, he touched her shoulder, Kuro turned her face to Taiga, with her fierce eyes she said "What?"
" I have nothing to do at home, so how about accompany me on the park?" Said Taiga
Whether Kuro knew the meaning of his invitation, she silently nodded and the three of them walked toward a nearby park. While Shira sleeping soundly, her body sometimes trembling because of the coldness of the night even though Kuro already wrapped Shira with her blazer. The situation got worsened because Kuro getting hungry for blood.
At the park, Taiga bought some drink and gave it to Kuro only for her declined the drink. Taiga looked that Kuro's face became pale, her breathing got rough, and her eyes became hollow. "...hey, Tenma-san, let me carry Shira-chan, your face is a little pale" Said Taiga
Kuro handed Shira to Taiga, and without a word, the Augmentation activated by itself
"Augmentation commenced, increase body temperature activated, Modifier 15%"
(....this is new) What was Taiga thinking inside his mind, he can feel his body getting warmer than usual. not long after Taiga carried Shira, her body stopped trembling and she still sleeping peacefully
On the other hand, Kuro started to smell something when Taiga activated the augmentation system, she was holding on the brink of her sanity, only for her to notice something else.
Red mist surrounded Taiga's body, Kuro clawed Taiga's arm and yelled "Run!".
Taiga surprised by her nail pierced his arm, leading to Augmentation system to activate
"Augmentation commenced, Enhanced Durability Activated, Enhanced Jump Activated"
Taiga jumped from beside Kuro, while he jumped, he saw many things, started from Kuro surprised face and her long sharp nail, and a fire began to light up at the place he was sitting before
Following this Taiga Augmentation changed into Enhanced Senses, Enhanced Reflexes, Accelerated Perception
Crazy enough, this time he saw everything in a slow motion with a brain that can process faster than usual, there he saw Kuro growing a batwing with some of the fire hit her arm, a Man in black lurking around in the trees with 4 knives floating around him, and he can hear a womanly voice whispered "incendia mos satus"
This time the ground he can feel another fire sparked around his body, with Enhanced Reflexes and Accelerated Perception, he can dodge it in time, but some of the fire got into his arms because he didn't jump far enough. he immediately looked toward Shira and sighed of relief because none of the Fire hit her
On the Kuro side, the Knives launched at her, two knives hit her wings, one knife hit her in the head and the last one pierced her throat. Surprisingly Kuro kept flying like nothing was happening, while the knives flew back toward the Man in black
Not yet Taiga's brain process everything, a woman with a broom flying in, she looked as surprised as each one of them was but she continued to mutter something only Taiga can hear "Sit tenebris noctis de anima cingere"
With her stood in the center of each one of them, a black chain came from her surroundings and started to move like a snake searching for its prey, unlike the instant fire from before, Taiga easily evaded each one of the Chain only to realized that the chain kept chasing him
While Kuro tried her best maneuvering above the sky, but slowly but sure the chain started to surround her
The Man in black, circling more knives around his body, with accurate precision each of the knife pinned the chain to the ground, while 3 knives flying toward the Woman with broom
The Woman with broom changed into a black cat without saying anything and evading the 3 knives, on the other hand, the Man in black yelled "Bullshit! did you see that!?"
Luckily for the other two, when the Woman changed into a cat and moved from her position, the Chain started to disappear.

The Man in black others knives started to float and fly forward the cat and Kuro, the only one he didn't target was Taiga, he then yelled to Taiga "Bring that girl outside from here!!". As soon as he finished his words, Kuro flew toward him, each of that man knives pierced her body, only for the wound closing up while laughing maniacally she screamed "gyahahahah!!! DIE!!!" with her long sharp nail, she slashed the Man in black shoulder or not
"Augmentation commenced Enhanced Sense, Enhanced Perception Disabled. Enhanced Stamina, Enhanced Speed Activated"
Right before her nail pierced the Man in black, Taiga Augmentation shifted, he jumped in and kicked her hard in reflexes, only for him to get Yelled by the Man in black "You stupid!!! why don't you drop that kid before you came right in!?" . "she's safer with me, maybe" Said Taiga without confidence and he continued "...so since you're wondering about this girl i assume you're the good guy?". "And i assume you're too, anyway what's the story of that monster?" The Man in black asking for a clarification. "...dude, beats me" Taiga replied
Not for long they catch a breath, Kuro flew toward both of them while screaming "Effer manubrio infixum, detrahet me falce falcem est quod Daemones licet hanc vitam", this time there's a red-blooded scythe in her hand, Taiga with Accelerated perception, Enhanced Stamina and Enhanced Speed managed to bring the Man in black along with Shira and evaded Kuro strike. Only this time he can't stop in time and reflexly he dropped the Man in black on the ground and used his body as a pillow absorbing all the damage for Shira, and his body crashed into the Slide
Not yet he managed to wake up, a chain bonded his legs, he shifted his gazes toward Man in black and he had the same condition, While the two of them talking and evading Kuro, the Woman with broom used her spell to bind them. while her other Chain tried to catch Kuro, she slashed it down with her scythe, slowly but sure this time Kuro moved toward to Taiga.
"Augmentation commenced Accelerated Perception, Enhanced Speed and Enhanced Stamina disabled. Enhanced Strength Modifier 200% and Enhanced Durability Activated"
Maybe in his subconscious, Taiga hoping he can break the chain with pure force of strength, and it worked. Without harming Shira's body, he pulled away the chain. while he pulled the Chain away, a woman screaming in pain can be heard. Too focused on what was coming to him, between evading and defending, the Augmentation system or maybe Taiga subconscious chose the latter, he shifted all of his augmentations into Enhanced Durability.
Kuro, free from the Chain, flew directly toward Taiga, while Taiga desperately turned his back and covered Shira with his body, only the sharp point of Kuro scythe managed to pierce Taiga skin, there was no drop of blood coming from it. More likely the scythe absorbed all of Taiga blood, even though the wound wasn't fatal and there was no pain, Taiga can feel his body growing weaker, on the other hand, Kuro was in ecstasy "Ah~~ More~~~"
"Warning: Critical Loss of Blood, Effect: Passout, Suggestion: Rest or Enhanced Regeneration"
*Gasp!* "Fucking do it!!" Taiga yelled
"Augmentation commenced, Enhanced Durability, Modifier 300% disabled, Enhanced Regeneration, Modifier 300% Enabled"
The scythe slowly dived down into Taiga skin, the pain of his meat regenerated only to be pierced down was unbearable, immediately he regretted his decision, the frenzied Kuro yelled "GYAHAHA!! WHAT IS THIS MAN!? I SEE!!! I GET MY OWN PERSONAL BLOOD BANK!!!"
"Warning, Force energy is low, stopping the Augmentation"
Following the announcement, a nauseating feeling grew in Taiga body, he felt like he can pass out anytime soon, while the maniac laughter of Kuro continued, it got stopped by someone ".....nee-san, you're too loud" Heard the half awake or talk in sleep Shira, Kuro laughter became quieter and calmer, only for Taiga to realize that the scythe already gone.
Taiga was bracing himself, he turned his body, and saw Kuro confused face, not long he managed to catch a breath, both of the Man in black and Woman with broom stood up, a crow came down to the Woman with broom, it brought a letter in its mouth, the Woman opened it, looking toward Taiga and Kuro, gave a sour face and drawn a complicated circle on the ground and disappeared. On the other hand, the Man in black took off his modern looking earset, the rest of his knives flew toward him, then he said "....i owed you one" and he left after said that.
Kuro on the other hand, crouched down, held her head and shaking in confusion while muttering something
While Taiga heard another voice in his head
"Limit has raised, User can use four Augmentations at the same time."
"New Augmentation: Wall Running, Awareness"
"Warning, Stamina is low, suggestion: sleep"
"Automated scanning procured...... Scan complete, Result: Wounded shoulder (Light), Mental fatigue from the pain trauma, suggestion: Enhanced Regeneration, Normal Regeneration, Rest, Recreation"
".....now after everything over, the limit is raised, are you trolling me?" Said Taiga, before he pass out on the park
