Simple-Magic:
Hey—hey, this is Simple-Magic speaking, and welcome to the second Chapter of Vengeance. I look forward to many plot twists and heartbreaking scenes. Look forward to betrayal and frightening scenes. The scheming will only get worse! Oh yeah, disclaimer… this isn't mine.
Recap: In the last Chapter of VengeanceThe mew mews expressed their wish to go to a festival, Ichigo was discovered to be just as boy crazy as ever; and also in desperate need for some pointers when it comes to Ryou. On the flip side of all this, Masaya and Zakuro seem to be hitting it off. Pai has returned along with a lovely friend named Serori. Just who is Serori and where is Kisshu? There's no other way to find out other than to read the story
love, Me!
COMMENT: Do NOT stop reading because of assumptions…Read till the end of the chapter please!
SHOUT OUT: To all the people who read it! To all those lovely people who wrote a review so I know how much I'm loved and to those fan girls who are waiting to stab me in the back when I put my guard down…I LOVE YOU GUYS!
Vengeance
Chapter 2
Music drifted from the center of the High School, usually the festivals were held in the center of Tokyo, but today, the school was the particular point of interest. The decorations awed their guests and people seemed to have lost their heads.
"Ryou! Look!" She chirped as she pulled him over to a small stand with a teddy bear for a prize. "Get me a teddy bear!" She said as she pulled on his arm.
He coughed and shook his head, "I'm not very good at things like these…you do realize this is an American game...right?"
She nodded, "C'mon! You can do it!"
He sighed, then he paid the man and lifted a ball…he steadied his hand before pulling his arm back and releasing the plastic. Hoping for the best he crossed his fingers and winced as it flew right past them…He picked up another ball, determined to get that teddy bear, sending Ichigo into gails of laughter.
Purin sat underneath the tree, waiting for someone… 'Special'. Twiddling her thumbs, she blushed slightly, watching as couples walked to and fro. Glancing up, she even viewed a couple kissing and—at this point, she stood and turned to face the tree…Silently, she played with the dress which Ichigo and Minto had forced her to wear. Purin was more of a shorts and t-shirt kind of girl, her choice of clothing tonight made her feel a bit awkward and she wanted to run away…
"What're you doing?"
The voice startled her and she looked up into the tree where Tarto sat, leisurely surveying her from the branches. A sort of silence passed between the two Purin blushed a deeper color of crimson.
"T…Tarto?"
He slipped from the branches and stood on the air, staring at her with a grin on his face. "Hello Purin." He looked at the ground, "You look…very…well…very pretty."
Purin blushed, turned and ran off.
"Come back Purin! Was it something I said?" He teleported next to her, reaching out to catch her arm, but she dodged it and ran into the school. She ran down the hallway and past the bathrooms. She flew through the next set of doors and into the pitch black gym…where she knew she'd be safe. She breathed heavily, hugging herself as she pulled at the dress… "I…I don't want to wear this anymore…"
From a deep corner….there came a quiet hisss of approval. A quiet slithering sound swept from one way to the other…and gradually became louder. Through her self-talk, Purin wouldn't and couldn't hear it. The hidden creature grew in volume and then at last took form…the lights flickered on…
A scream sliced through the silence of the school as a tall dark green shadow hovered over her, red eyes gleaming and ivory teeth dripping with an unholy color of dark red blood. A deep, yet whimsical voice filled the room and immersed Purin with dark feelings of hate and rage… "Bring me to her…" the voice said darkly, seeping into Purin's lungs as she gasped. "Bring me to the one…" the voice became a sick, twisted sort of voice as it was breathed into her body… "Give me the shell sweetheart…give me what I want…Bring me to her…" As it became part of her, she lost control over her legs, then her arms…and at least her head and heart. They began functioning in unison. A constant beating became a droning scream. The pain pierced Purin's body as her spirit was literally forced from her body…the Body screamed in agony and then her eyes rolled back into her head…her head fell forward and then suddenly she snapped to attention…and in a malicious, mirthful tone, she said… "Excellent…now…Move body…we have a job to do…"
"Lord Pai, are we going to visit him?" Serori's musical voice chimed in as she walked behind him, becoming accustomed to the sound of her own footsteps and the constant balance she needed to stay upright.
Pai looked up at her, "Hmm? Oh, yes." He jumped over the side of the cemetery walls. "Yes, We'll go visit Kisshu." He landed with a quiet thud and stood, turning to catch her as she leapt over the wall. She was a lot lighter than he'd anticipated and he nearly stumbled because of it. He released her, walking deeper into the cemetery. "Do you have his memento?"
She nodded slightly, "Oh, Yes Lord Pai…it's right here." She produced it carefully…a maroon collar with a maroon colored bell. "It smells funny." She commented.
"That, Serori…is the smell which awakened you…the smell of human flesh… We'll be sure they die for what they've done to Kisshu…and what they've done to me…"
"I didn't catch that last bit…repeat it please."
"We're done speaking." He said curtly, scanning the cemetery for any signs of life.
She nodded and then knelt before a new gravestone… She bowed before it and then she kissed her fingertips and brushed it against the words "To Our Beloved Kisshu. We will miss you." That is all it said…Nothing else, no death date, no Eulogy. It was a pittance to such an amazing Creature.
He sighed, "Place it there."
Serori placed the collar on the tombstone, and then she stood and started walking off toward a grave in the distance. She followed close behind Pai and was careful to keep off of some graves, Knowing what would happen if the bodies were given some of her energy. She pulled her attention from the other graves and saw the one in the corner…It was blank and had a picture of a small angel carved into it.
"Do it." He muttered.
She nodded, pressing on the angel and slowly the ground disappeared beneath them, turning to stone steps… "Those stupid humans…they think they are so advanced…"
Pai nodded "yes… we were here first…they should have known."
He rounded the last bend, pushing through the separating field. His eyes opened and he made his way to the white bed in the corner. Quiet beeping sounds came from the machine nearby…he was still living… a sigh escaped him and he sat on the edge of the bed. This human body tired him and he found it difficult to be as evil when he was tired. "How is your head?" he asked quietly.
Usually this wouldn't get a response, but suddenly the heart monitor picked up a change in pace. His eyes opened slowly, revealing the golden colour…they had lost their usual spark of enthusiasm…but sedated like this, he had no choice.
"Amazing...Can you sit?"
His head moved slightly, and then he sat up, holding his head in his hands. The doctor had confirmed where the break was. He had a crack running along his skull, it was a fairly long one, but after Pai stepped in, it seemed to heal a lot faster…
"All right…down to business."
His eyes slid slowly over Pai's human form. He recognized him instantly. He'd seen him every day ever since he'd woken up…
"Who are you?"
He paused, taking time to think about it…then he said… "I…Am Kisshu…"
Pai nodded… "Who am I?"
"You…" he hesitated… "Are Pai…and I don't know…" he gripped his head as a slight headache rocked his world… "The…g…girl…"
"She's of no importance to you."
Kisshu nodded…
"Where are you?"
"I…don't know." His words were a bit slow…
"What is your mission?"
Kisshu's eyes lit up at the thought of something…he wasn't quite sure why he was feeling this rush of adrenaline…but he said… "To Kill."
Pai looked him over, "To kill?"
Kisshu placed two fingers to his temples…and then he said… " To…get…revenge…"
He nodded… "On who?"
Kisshu's eyes became a bit clearer… "That wench…" he said in a dangerous voice…
"And what about Ichigo?" Pai asked bitterly…
Kisshu blinked, then he looked at him…his eyes loosing luster once more… "Who's…Ichigo?"
Pai smirked…shaking his head, he said, "Someone who's in your way…"
