I just hope I don't accidentally upload my chapters in the wrong order... I almost labeled this as chapter 6... that would not have been good.
"Somebody HELP!" Tamerack, out of breath, stammered into the town with Miranda practically falling off of his shoulder.
"I need a doctor! Where is the Hospital?!" Tamerack continued to yell.
A crowd of people started to gather as Tamerack fell to his knees. Miranda slid off of his shoulder and landed on the ground next to him. He tried to yell for help again but his voice was horse... he began to weep.
The mayors son, Slade, saw Tamerack, and ran toward him.
"Tamerack!" he yelled "Whats wrong?!" and then he saw... Miranda lay on the tiled streets. Her neck was bruised and her body lifeless.
He was frozen for a moment, then snapped out of his shock when he heard the villages whispering.
"Are these the strangers?"
"Should we help them?"
"What is going on?"
He was furious... his own people not willing to help, he had already lost his mother under his care, he was not about to lose her.
"MOVE!" he shouted as he forced his way past the crowd.
"You! Get a doctor, tell them it is an emergency!" He pointed to a young teen boy who looked like he could run pretty fast.
"You and you! Help me carry her to this bench!" He pointed to two older men strong enough to lift her.
The two men brought Miranda to the bench and Slade put his head to her chest...
'A faint heartbeat' he thought
'but it wont last long'
…
"It seems your innocence can actually kill me..." The level 3 said as he licked his wound. Kanda had killed the level 1 with ease and wounded the level three on his left side. His tongue long, slimy and green moved like a snake through the wound. It started to smoke, it was burning... he was trying to heal himself by burning the wound shut.
Kanda called for illusion 2. his sword burnt dark blue, the flames danced around Kandas shoulders as it morphed into a 2nd blade.
Kanda shot an array of illusion attacks at the akuma. The akuma dodged the attack but was struck from behind, Kanda moved fast, his feet barely touching the ground like he was floating. The akuma stumbled foreward from Kandas attack.
"Your fast" it said "but no matter... what ever wounds you inflict on me will only be erased... if you want to see my true power you are going to have to try better than that."the akuma finished.
Kanda just smirked.
They charged at each other parrying and both inflicting wounds and receiving great damage. Kanda stood with ripped uniform, and bleeding profusely.
"You look like death!" The akuma laughed.
Kanda just smirked.
He had figured it out... his body had gone numb and he could barely hold his blade, but that did not matter. The akuma has poison on his body and acid in his tongue. He used his tongue to seal his wounds and the poison to paralyze his enemies. He was untouchable.
The akuma let out his long tongue, and started to lick his wounds. The acid ate away the hard armor-like exoskeleton allowing another piece to grow in its place.
"You look like a hopeless puppy licking your wounds like that." Kanda said
"and you look like a half dead puppy" the akuma responded "seems like you can talk... I was beginning to think you were mute... puppy."
Kanda rushed up the the akuma, exchanges were made, and although Kanda could not feel his hands he gripped on as tightly as he could. His body moved out of muscle memory, motions and attacks were engraved into him. He danced around the akuma slicing him, and with every entry point, more poison seeped out from the akumas body, splattering itself on Kanda like blood. It soaked into his skin, absorbing and turning numb, the akuma laughed, his tongue hung out and started to heal the wounds... but nothing happened.
A sound came from the feet of the akuma, his tongue lay there twitching on the ground. Kanda looked up at the akumas mouth and shoved his sword straight in, piercing the armor exoskeleton in the back. He twisted the sword... The akuma grabbed him and pulled him close, spattering poison as he spoke. "Oh boy... it looks like you really were death... I loved our time together" its cut tongue made it difficult to understand. But as one last farewell the akuma jabbed its sharp claws into Kandas belly.
Kanda spit blood.
The Akuma died.
Kanda collapsed to his knees, mugen deactivated, he heard a dog barking... he passed out.
Author Note: So thanks for sticking with me this far. I again apologize how short this was, so to make it up I will post an extra long chapter preview.
Chapter Preview:
"Hello? Hello?..." a static electric voice came from the golem.
"I need Komui now!" Kanda yelled at the man on the other side of the golem. He turned to Tamerack and said "go to Miranda, tell her we found the exorcist we've been looking for."
"Komui here." A voice came in through the golem.
"We found the exorcist, but Miranda is extremely wounded and a level 3 appeared here." Kanda said.
"Not good..." Komui said "Protect them at all costs, I trust you. What type of innocence does she have?" That was strange because Kanda had never mentioned that the exorcist was a women... could he have known?
Kanda shook off the doubt in his mind and quickly focused on the task at hand.
"Parasitic in the left palm." he said.
"Bring her in as soon as Miranda is well enough to move, we must get them back here as soon as possible." Komui ended the call with that... nothing more.
Kanda rushed toward the direction that Tamerack had gone with the girl and her dog leading the way. A large crowd of people stood outside a large brown home. Kanda pushed his way through the crowds and slammed the door open. He looked around the room and spotted Miranda laying on a couch barely conscious. There was a blond boy blotting cold water on her head and holding her head back to open up her throat allowing oxygen to flow through easier. Tamerack stood nearby with a worried look on his face. Kanda pushed the boy aside and lifted Miranda from the couch.
