A Tic?
Blood…
Yoh dropped his bag.
He slowly walked towards the hand which covered by blood that behind the sofa. At every step he can hear the loud beat of his heart.
Soon he saw the owner of the hand.
"Sharona?" he said weekly as he fell on his knees, seeing their maid.
The blond woman was laying on the floor, eyes opened and mouth slightly agape. Blood was visible on her neck.
He checked her pulse and felt terrify when he learned she was already dead.
He quickly ran upstairs, looking for his parents.
"MOM! DAD!"
His panic mind wasn't helping him. He opened every door in there and when he realized something, he quickly went to the baby's room. As he opened the door he felt his world fell down.
"Mom… Dad…"
The room was covered by blood. Broken things were scattered everywhere. Besides the crib he saw his parents' unmoving bodies.
He quickly moved towards his father and checked the pulse. Tears quickly flow from his chocolate brown eyes.
"Y-yoh…" a weak voice said besides him.
He turned around and quickly hugged his mother, hope started to build inside him.
"I… I'm going to call a doctor…j-just wait…"
But before he could stand up a grip stopped him.
He looked at his mother who was trying her best to give something to him.
"P-please… save… her…"
))21((
"You're finally awake."
Yoh who only opened his eyes, slowly sat up. He held his chest as he felt pain. He noticed his upper body was naked but covered with bandages.
He looked around, trying to figure out where he was and who own that cool voice.
Soon, he found a person at the mouth of the cave, sitting on the one of the flat stone in there, back facing him and looking at the heavy rain.
"Who are you?" he weakly asked.
"It doesn't matter who I am."
Yoh felt déjà vu. Somehow he heard those words from this person before. His eyes slightly widened as memories flooded back in his mind on what happened to him earlier.
"You… You're the one who save me?"
"I didn't save you."
"What? But you're the one who stopped that man to kill me."
"Stop?" She slightly tilted her head to look at him. "I didn't even know you're there until I killed that man."
"Killed?"
She looked back outside. "He didn't answer my questions so I finished his life."
Yoh felt taken aback. She talks as if finishing someone's life is normal. Besides, how strong is she? He who trained so much didn't even land a single hit to that Tic. Is she a hunter too?
"Then let me thank you for curing my wounds," he said dismissing the previous subject.
"Don't. It's a give and take situation."
"Give… and---"
"I cured your wounds in exchange of half of your supplies."
Yoh looked at his bag besides him which almost empty. Half?
Sighing, he gazed back at the person who saves him. He can't tell what she looks like as her back still facing him. He can't even tell what she is wearing besides that black ribbon tied on her waist. The fire built at the middle of the cave doesn't help him much.
"Can I know your name?"
She didn't answer him.
"Hey! I'm asking if I can know your name. "
Still no answer.
Yoh frowned. Why was this girl so cold?
"I just wanted to know your name."
"It doesn't need. After this rain we will separate our way."
"I just wanted to know the name of my savior."
"I said I didn't save you in any means."
Yoh stood up. Since the murder of his family, his patience grew thinner.
"Why can't you simply say your name? And will you face me?"
A dagger threw towards him and hit the stone behind him after leaving cut on his cheek.
"Shut up."
He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. "Just tell it."
She raised her brow, amused that he didn't get afraid on what she done. "You're too stubborn."
"You're more stubborn," he shouted.
"What will you get by knowing my name?"
"I simply want to remember the name of a person I will thank after I finish my mission."
"Mission?"
"Devastate all the Tics."
Lightning slashed on the sky followed by thunder.
She finally stood up from her position and moved towards him.
Yoh was amused by what he saw. A girl who he thinks the same age as him, wearing a grayish cloth over that black top and black short, face void with any emotion, have almost golden hair and blank black eyes.
"Do you really want to know who I am?" she said as she put her arms covered with grayish fabric above her chest.
Yoh nodded determinedly.
"Fine… I'm Kyoyama Anna, a Tic."
Woah! Done at last… Haha! A short one, ne? Anyways I hope you like this chapter.
Thanks again for reviews.
And please leave a review. =)
Chapter 4: It can't be.
Now Anna is here. But how could Yoh accept that the one who save him was a Tic?
My, my, I wonder too…
