Pains of Past

"Otou - san! Please! Don't hurt us!" screamed young Yukina as she's pinned onto the table. Her green eyes are showing fear & confusion.

"Please, Otou - san! Okaa - san is now happy there! Don't bring her back!" yelled a ponytailed girl, Himawari.

"SHUT UP! YOU BRATS DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL! FUMIKO IS MY WHOLE LIFE!" shouted a man with a pained expression.

"We miss Okaa - san as much as you do, Otou - san. But we have to let her g-"

"GO? GIVING UP TO HIS WILL? SCREW IT, HE SCREWED MY LIFE!"

"Nee - nee... Why is Otou - san... Being mean to us?" asked Yukina with a broken voice. Tears start rolling down her cheeks.

"Yuki - chan, don't cry. Everything will be just alright, I'll convince Otou - san. Trust me okay?" the younger girl nods as agreement.

"Nothing will convince me at all. My whole life is in front of my eyes & you think I'll just let it slip off? NOW, FUMIKO WILL BE RESURRECTED BACK TO ME!" as he pushes a button, his daughters are electrocuted by the shock from the cables attached on their heads. Screams heard, bruises appearing, & blood coughed from their mouths. To Yukina's horror, Himawari turns her head at her with an almost blank look, "Yuki - chan... I'm sorry..."

"NEE - NEE!"


"ONEE - SAN!" as the girl awakes from her nightmare, she realizes that tears had already stained her cheeks. She wipes them away after calmed herself down. Then she looks at the window, it's still dark & it's 8 o' clock in the evening.

When she is lost in her thoughts, a knock on her door snaps her, "Mademoiselle Yukina? Êtes-vous bien?"

"Ah, oui. Je suis très bien, Cecile - san." replied Yukina, she's able to recognize people correctly only from hearing their voices. Even from sighs or other soft sounds.

"Est-ce que c'est ainsi? Bonne nuit à vous puis."

"Bonne nuit." then Yukina covers herself inside her blanket and is ready to close her eyes again. Until she remembers something, "I was helping Rika - san to carry Kanda - san to the guest room, right? Then why am I here now?"


Meanwhile in one of the guest rooms, Kanda is finally conscious. He groaned as he turns around & finds Rika sitting on a chair. Reminded by the pain on his stomach, Kanda growls, "You Brat! I'm gonna' kill you right now!"

It seems she is mumbling something under her breath. As Kanda tried to avenge himself, she tilted her head up, "Kanda - nii, don't come any closer. And by the way, I've called Komui - san about the Innocence."

"You don't scare me, Brat-!" when Kanda is trying to reach her, he finds himself hit by an invisible force & sent to the bed.

"I told you not to come closer. I'm in the middle of suppressing right now." some strands of her hair covered her right eye, which turned red in color.

Kanda who doesn't understand her statement launches at her again, only to be hit again, "Damn it! What the hell is surrounding you? Your ridiculous magic?"

"Look, I'm sorry I hit you earlier but rather than taking revenge on me right now & end up hurting yourself, better stop trying to hit me at least for a while. Now back about the Innocence, Komui - san agrees about us keeping the Innocence in the doll until we figure out how to take it out safely. ThenAfter this mission is over you may take your revenge. "

'You let him to take his revenge on you? If I were you, I'd love to kill him right now~' said a voice inside her head.

"And you're not me, Rieka. Please, I killed Akuma, not humans. Even though there's blood, it's not even human's blood. Then again if I kill, I only destroy a false container of a soul rather than a body." seems the girl is getting desperate in getting rid of her other - self disturbance.

'Ah~ Rika - chan, are you so helpless right now because of my continuous teasing and getting desperate of getting rid of me from your mind?'

"Do you mind for not being greedy sometimes? I get stress whenever you're thirsty of blood and that's not good for my heart as well as my brain, you know? It'll give me some sort of stroke later and death." Rika knows that her other side needs her body to survive & exist, it'll be a good thing to say in order to stop Rieka.

'... You're right... Alright, I won't bother you any longer, Rika - chan... Later, we'll meet again in a blood fest someday..'. she finally leaves & Rika sighs audibly.

"Final-!" after Rika got up from her seat, Kanda immediately launches his fist right on Rika's face. "Jeez! That's so unfair!"

Kanda ignores Rika's whining & walks to the door, "Che, you said I can take my revenge. There I took it."

Seriously, he acts like a little kid. she rubs her swollen cheek then takes out a bandage from her pocket to cover it.


Kanda walks through the hallway with a rather foul mood, terrifying the servants he passed. Damn, I'd have the Innocence now if that Brat didn't stop me! That woman to-… Ugh, what was I thinking? Her words meant nothing to me... He just realized, Yukina's words… They distracted him, the man who always believes he's no longer a human but a weapon.

"Kanda - san?" a familiar voice called.

The called one merely turns his head to side with an emotionless face, "You."

"Ah, kombanwa. Are you here to take some fresh air?" asked Yukina.

"None of your business." he replied coldly.

Nonetheless, Yukina keeps her smile on, "Ah, Kanda - san. Do you know how to play Kagome?"

"Kagome?"

"You know, our country's traditional game. I used to play it together with my sister when we were young, also with Okaa - san. Actually I was thinking to teach Ojou - sama about the game."

"I don't play games. Heck, I don't even know about the game in the first place." now Kanda is facing an awkward moment where Yukina is looking at him with a clueless face which he tries to avoid.

"What?"

"You never played the game before?" asked Yukina, seemingly curious.

"No and why do you have to ask?" he said irritated.

She gives no answer but starts chanting, "Kagome… Kagome… Kimi wa tori no naka no torikago… Yoru ga kuru... Anata ga haigo ni aru ka shitte imasu ka?"

"So you two are going to play Kagome?" asked Rika who suddenly appears, "Shouldn't Kagome be played by 5 or more?"

Kanda retorts, "There's no the hell way I'm going to play that childish game!"

"Oh, really? You played that game when you were young?" teased Rika, knowing that the man never played any kind of games in his entire life.

"Urusai!"

"Ah, please don't fight here." said Yukina trying to avoid any unwanted things.

"Khehehe-" her chuckles stopped as she feels something familiar, This energy… It's similar to mine... Impossible, he's here?

"What is the matter, Rika - san?" asked Yukina.

Rika snaps from her thought, "Huh? Oh, I have to make sure of something. I'll be back after a while." then she runs to a certain direction.

"Wait, Rika - san!"

"Che, an akuma?" the samurai exorcist then follows his partner.

"Kanda - san!"

"Go hide yourself!" shouted Kanda as he runs.

Yukina feels useless, she's not an exorcist to begin after all, "… Be safe…"


The sorceress stops in the middle of her track, "So the void ends here. Guess I'll just have to wait for a while... I know you're here, just come out whoever you are…" she said as she feels someone's watching her.

"Ri… Ka…" that voice startled her, she turns around to find someone's that's really unexpected.

"G… Grace?" there's her cousin with a soft smile she used to wear, but her body is covered by blood and the wound on her chest where the murderer stabbed her is still there. Her eyes, is blank with no signs of life in it. To Rika, she's more like a living corpse.

"Ri… Ka…"

It's sickening, like forcing her to throw up. The body in front of her, is the same body she held before the death, "Grace… It's really you?"

"Ri… Ka…"

"Grace, you..." for a split second, Grace's smile turns into a wicked smirk.

"PITIFUL EXORCIST, JUST DIE!" "Grace's" hands turned a pair of horrible clawed hands & grasps Rika who's caught off guard.

"AKH! You disgusting SHELL! HOW DARE YOU?"

"KIHIHIHI, YOU HAVE FALLEN INTO MY TRAP! NOW DIE!" the fake Grace turns back into it's real form, a level 2 Akuma. Then it crushes the brunette in its hands, breaking the bones beneath as it emits blood.

"GYAAAAH!"

"KYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! I KILLED THE EXORCIST! PRAISE ME, EARL - SAMA! KYAHAHA-!" a large black scythe pierced through the creature's chest.

"Fallen into your trap? You think a dead person can be resurrected? Stop messing around…" Rika appears with a darkened expression, she has been angered by the fake Grace appearance from the start.

"H- HOW DID YOU?" the akuma turns its sight to Rika's death body, it's disintegrating. Only an illusion.

"Sorcerers are required to be capable of making illusions, starting from the one that's easy to see through… And the one that feels very real. Now… "May the pitiful souls receive final freedom & peace"…"

The akuma felt a dangerous energy surges into him from the moment Rika chants the spell, "GAAH! STOP! STOP IT! NOOO!"

"Exorcise!" just like what she had done earlier, the akuma explodes. Leaving nothing but dust and a once entrapped soul which goes off to the sky, "That wicked disgusting old fat geezer… Some of them are already here, huh?"

"Hey, kid!" shouted the samurai.

"Kanda - nii? Didn't I say I don't need to be followed?"

"You didn't say any of that. There were 3 akuma invading the mansion, but I killed them," he glances at the dust left by the destroyed akuma, "Seems you met one as well."

Rika frowns when she inevitably recalls her meeting with the creature, "Hmph, in a very unpleasant way as well…"

"We should get back to guard the Innocence now." he starts walking but stops when he notices that Rika doesn't even moving a bit from her place, "Hey brat, start moving right now!"

"Please wait for a moment, I'm waiting someone." replied Rika.

"Who-"

"An aid sent from the organization." in an instant, an area in front of Rika glows and there forms a clock - like circle. The needles move fast & when they struck together at the Roman numeral of 12, a blinding light shines.

After the light slowly disappears, a boy who's almost identical to Rika appears in front of them. He's wearing a black sweater which covers his white shirt, a black tie, black pants, and black boots. While in his on his belt, there's pocket clinging onto it which holds a Blackhawk dagger. Opening his eyes he smirks to his twin, "You knew I'll be here, huh?"

The girl can only smile happily to see her sibling, "Glad meeting you here, Rikkun."

"Hey, who's the other kid?" asked Kanda bluntly.

This makes the brunette boy snaps, "What the hell? It's Riku Tylore and I'm not even a freaking KID anymore!"

"Calm yourself down, Rikkun. You know how he is, so bear with it." his sister said while holding him back.

"Don't tell me he called you either brat, kid, or runt."

Rika sighs, "Well, only the first 2 even though I told him for a dozen of times..."

"Whatever, come on. I'll have to report Komui about your appearance. You 2 are coming or what?" Kanda's question breaks the twins current conversation as they catch up with the older teen.

After a while Rika starts a conversation, "So why did Kaito - san decide to send you here?"

"Long story but shortly, I'm an Accommodator as well." Kanda glances at them from his shoulders upon hearing this.

"Seriously? How?"

"It seems the Innocence somehow teleported itself to our dimension and it fell hard on me. I can still feel the pain of being struck by it. Then when I tried to examine it, it fused into my dagger."

"Hmm, I guess there's one thing to worry about. How good is the synchronicity?"

"Yeah, I'm worried about that as well. So I didn't use it yet. By the way, how's yours?"

"93% according to Hevlaska - san."

"Atta girl, that's great."

"Yeah, thanks."


"So, Rika - chan's younger twin came as a back up? Well, that's a good news to know he's an Accommodator as well." said Komui through the phone.

"Good for you but not for me. Now I have to babysit 2 brats." growled Kanda.

"I'M NOT A FREAKIN' KID, YOU ST- OFMGH!" before Riku can endanger his own life (not that he can't defend himself from Kanda's rampage), his mouth is immediately shut by Rika.

The older twin sighs & stares at Kanda, the stare sends a warning that sounds like "you - better - not - anger - him - more - than - this - or - else". So the blue - haired continues his conversation with the supervisor, "What a pain..."

"But it's your duty as an older brother figure to take care of them, Kanda."

What the hell? "I'm NOT their brother."

"Come on, children like them need an older or 2 figures of family in times like these. To be separated from their parents in a long period of time is pretty cruel."

"And I don't give a damn. If you don't have anything more to ask, I'll hang up."

"Oh, I almost forgot. Hevlaska sensed that there are 3 potential Accommodators around there. One of them must be Rika - chan's twin, I have high hopes for you to find the other 2."

"Che, alright." then he puts the phone back.

"What did the Supervisor said?" asked Riku.

"There are 2 Accommodators here, now we have to find them. Tsk, it should be a General's job... And once we're back to the HQ, you're an official Exorcist." the older Exorcist said, mentioning Riku.

"Rika - sama! Kanda - sama!" shouted a familiar voice.

"Hey, Charles. Meet my twin brother, Riku Tylore. From now on, he's an Exorcist. Rikkun, this is Charles Kingsley."

"Nice to meet you, Kingsley. Call me Riku." he stretches his hand to shake.

The boy willingly shakes it, "Nice meeting you too, Riku - sama. Just call me Charles. I came to report that Akuma are going to show themselves. They're still far away but we should get ready now."

The 3 Exorcist then frown. Kanda unsheathes Mugen, "Go tell everyone else to take shelter."

As Kanda runs off, Rika turns to the boys, "Alright, I should find and warn Louis - san first. Charles, go with Rikkun to find Yukina - san. And then tell the servants to hide too."

Riku & Charles nodded, "Roger that, Rika."

"We'll meet outside, Rika - sama." they split up at once.

Kanda is already outside and told the Finders to stay out of his way. As the enemies are moving closer, Kanda runs his index & middle finger along his chokuto, "Innocence Activate : Mugen." The strongest Exorcist is ready to battle.

Little did he know that between the swarm of Akuma, a girl with gray skin and golden eyes is with them. "I bet it's gonna' be fun!"

~ End ~


Riku : Yes! I'm finally in the story!

Charles : By the way, why does Rika - sama called Riku - sama "Rikkun"?

Rika : It's my habit to call people who are close to me with the nicknames I made for them.

Tama : Mine is Tama - chii, if you haven't noticed. And she gave Suza - chan the pet name "Suzakun".

Suzaku : Shut it, don't call me Suza - chan.

Tama : But you don't mind if Rika - chan calls you Suzakun.

Suzaku : W- Well, that's... Urgh... *blushes*

Riku : Ha! You can't deny it, can you Lover Boy?

Suzaku : WHY YOU-

Rika : Please calm down, Suzakun...

Suzaku : Tsk, fine.

Tama : He really can't deny it.

Riku : That was too easy.

Charles : Does that mean Suzaku - san has a crush on Rika - sama?

Tama : By the way since Ri - san is off to study for exam, we should end this now.

Riku : You're right, okay see you later guys.

Rika : Hopefully sooner, as soon as Ri - san's final exam ends.

Charles : I hope you enjoy the story so far.

Suzaku : Review or else.
