Kimyona Nejire

Chapter 6

–

[A/N- Well quick update I apparently got kicked out of the contest reasons don't matter lol. But I'm still going to write my Fic because this is a very good plot I will not lie. So Yeah, Here is the next chapter.]

It was this strange feeling that lurked within Rika's adult mind, a feeling of fear and worry. Something was wrong but she just couldn't put her finger on it. Looking over to the Mustard colored hair that belonged to none other than Satoko, she couldn't help but frown as the girl cupped her hands over her mouth and shouted for the lost dog. Rika wouldn't deny the thoughts that she knew Lue was gone, most animals lost in the town were never found again and she wouldn't blame them. Who would want to stay here? But that didn't mean she couldn't at least give her dear friend some hope, show her that there is always a slim chance for a miracle to happen as long as there isn't a 0-probability. Although it was only a matter of time Satoko would give up, then the tears would begin and her sadness would return for losing someone else close to her.

Rika sighed as she rested her palm against her forehead, Its almost useless, no matter what I do... She always ends up upse- Her thoughts were cut off short as Satoko's voice interrupted her, "Mii~ Uh, Rika-chan didn't hear... Can you repeat that, heh."

Satoko puffed out her cheeks in anger, she hated when people ignored her. Taking a deep breath and sighing she opened her mouth to speak, "I think if we split up we'll find Lue faster. You should go check and see if he fell in the gorge of the swamp, I'll check in the deeper part of the forest and if we don't find anything we meet back here in forty minutes and look some more together." Satoko smiled, she wouldn't give up on Lue, even if they didn't find him today they would look tomorrow and the next day, and the next! She wouldn't give up like everyone did on her brother, she had a responsibility for this puppy!

The Iris haired girl smiled, "Mii~ If that's what you wanna do then okay!" Waving to Satoko as they departed she began her decent down towards the swamp. The rain was now reaching them and was making the search for Lue ever so difficult. She wondered if this would only make Lue go into hiding or maybe it would make him run into the rain? She had no clue, she didn't like dogs really, she was more of a kitty person, and for one she knew that cats would have hidden themselves at the first sign of a rain shower.

As she made her way towards the side where the swamp was she found how difficult it was to just get there, I wonder if Lue really here? Making her way through all the rocks and little rivers of water she took sight of the swamp, Onigafuchi swamp... heh...w-wait...What the hell is that!

Apparently, the swamp basin that was filled with dirt had mixed with the newly fallen rain and returned back to its swampy like structure. She had seen this happen before but not like this, this was much different from usual. The filthy watery substance was brownish-green that stirred in the gorge. Bubbles busted in the swamp creating more of the disgusting material. A fume suddenly began to leak from the watery-growth, and not just that but the fumes were even visible, a green tint was able to be seen as they left the swamp.

I-Impossible... This can't be happening. Rika could care less about the dog, it was her friends she was worried about now, and the rest of the towns people. She had to alert the town to let them know that the swamp was leaking fumes again. She didn't understand why, usually when it rained it would only flood never leaked fumes. She had to get Satoko, she had to save her friends! She knew all about the toxins of the swamp, she didn't want to die anymore, she didn't want anyone else to die anymore!

She suddenly ceased to a stop. Her eyes quaked with fear, there in black attire and long blonde hair stood a familiar face she thought she'd never see again; Takano Miyo...

Rika rubbed her eyes trying to make sure that the fumes weren't getting to her and she just wasn't seeing things. But no, Takano was there, and Takano was not hurt or burnt to death, yet alive and well. But how? "Miss Takano...Your alive, how? I thought you were found in the mountains, in a barrel all burnt up...?" Rika asked in her adult voice.

Takano didn't say a word, instead she smiled as the rain continued to pour down onto her clothing making it stick to certain areas of her body describing her figure. The supposedly dead woman was rubbing her thumb and index finger for some reason, I really hate it when they fight back... She thought to herself as she rubbed, recalling the incident not to long ago with the Ryuugu girl. She smirked as she took a few steps forward and then stopped until she was a few feet away from Rika.

Rika was cold and wet, she wanted to hurry and find Satoko, "Miss Takano... I have to go find Satok-" She stopped her words as her gaze followed a chain linked to Takano's attire that was linked to a, Gun... Why does she have a gun? Rika started to step back, The Iris haired girl stiffened and her gaze intensified, "Takano-sama, I don't know what is going on, but I need to leave now." She insisted and began to slowly walk.

In a swift movement Takano whipped out her gun and pulled down the trigger. The iris hair whipped around as a bullet wizzed past the girl.

Her eyes were wide, Rika stood in shock and fear as her heart thumped hard against her chest, "M-Miss... Takano..."

Takano began to laugh manically and walked towards the girl, "Its time for the queen to die." Her voice was psychotic, "Time for you to be brought down. Once you die, and the villager's die, I shall be in control... Everyone will soon look at me as God." Takano snickered softly as she pointed her Colt .55 at the girl.

Quickly Rika got an idea and instead of running away ran towards the woman. As fast as her little sandals could carry her she flew under Miss Takano's legs and ended up on the other side tumbling, then pushed the woman before she could figure out what happened. Watching as the sociopath's black hat flew into the air and cape flapped widely as she tumbled down and barreled into the bank towards the swamp, Rika couldn't help but hesitate to help her.

Takano confused on Rika's actions had allowed the brat to knock her over, but as she began to tumble she struck her gun into the dirt to gain her balance which she luckily did, "You bitch! You'll fucking pay!" As she tried to get up she found the attempts to no avail as the mud kept her from advancing. She screamed in frustration and began to claw herself to the top leaving the gun behind, she would kill the brat with her bare hands if she had to. But each time she tried she slipped even more.

Rika seeing the gun gone was not going to let her actually die because of her. With Cautionary action she began to walk over to the fallen woman she knelt down and offered a hand, "Please, I know what your doing... you've done this many times before... But please... Do you actually want to die? Give me your hand and just go home." She said softly yet stern, her gaze was comforting and her shoulders were relaxed not stiff showing she was able to be trusted.

Takano's heart was literally about to crumble, a tear almost fell out of her eye. How the hell did this happen?It was all planned out perfectly! Should she? She pounded the muddy slope and groveled as she was about to grab Rika's hand when she noticed a dog running towards the both of them. Its a fucking dog?

Rika turned around and noticed Lue running towards her but first she had to save Takano, turning back around to help the lady up she suddenly felt something jump onto her back. Losing her balance, the young girl fell forward towards Takano but barley missing her, falling face first towards the swamp. Quickly she grabbed onto Takano's legs, "Takano!" She screamed, "Help, please!" The fear of dropping into the bottomless pit of dirt and water scared the girl actually, the thought of what lurked underneath... She didn't want to die anymore!

Takano looked down and saw the young girl dangling onto her legs asking for her help, the queen bee asking GOD for help. A sudden laugh sprung from the lungs of the blonde haired woman as she raised a black boot, "Sorry hunny, time to go and sleep with the demons now!" She slammed her boot hard onto Rika's feeling and hearing the crushing of her jaw and nose. Blood squirted out from the girl's face as she was knocked off her and sent the little girl plunging into the swamp.

The pain was unbearable, she couldn't even describe what even happened she only knew that something or many things were cracked or broken. Flying backwards and plopping into the swamp she screamed on the way to her doom. The was a large splash as the gory water engulfed her. She batted at the disgusting waters as she tried to swim back to the bank but it felt as if the demons of the swamp were dragging her down, when she herself and her panic was actually killing herself. "Please help! Don't do this!" She clawed at the waters as she tried harder and harder, the murky liquid reaching her neck, then her chin, her mouth, nose, eyes... In her last moments she saw a young girl with short blonde hair smiling at her with red eyes holding a puppy and an umbrella. Lue?

Then there was no more Rika.

Takano started to laugh hysterically, "I did it! I killed her! I killed the Queen! Ahahahahahaha!" Laying her forehead against her arm she laughed towards the cold, wet, earth. There was sudden clapping sounds above Takano's head. What? Looking up she noticed cute little pink sandals with pumpkins on them, what the? Trailing up along whomever was standing before her, she noted the person's attire to be childish, a pink summer dress that was kept dry with little pumpkins and candy decorations spaced out on her choice of clothing. As she went on her amber eyes widened in shock at the resemblance of this young girl, "How is this possible?" This girl almost looked identical to herself as a child it was not mistakable, this child could be her twin... Except for those eyes. This young girl's eyes were red as blood, and glowed like the morning sun on a hot summers day.

The girl twirled her lacy white umbrella causing a drizzle of raindrops, "Oh~ you've done excellent Miyo-san~ Just Excellent! Here let me help you." Bending over the young girl extended a hand and with incredible strength lifted the woman out of the bank and onto the ravine. A giggle escaped the young girls peach colored lips as she hopped foot to foot, "Oh~ Miyo-san! I won! I won~...Ahem.. I mean We won! We did it! We beat Rika!" She giggled loudly as she jumped widely around waving her umbrella. Looking back to the woman who was breathing heavily she grinned ear to ear, "You can rightfully call yourself...God...Go on now! Show everyone Miyo Takano~! Ihihihihihhii~ Don't hold back anymore, because this time, Rika-san won't be reviving!" She laughed hysterically and turned around while walking towards the forest leaving Takano in the rain who stood there confused, but felt as if she knew the young girl.

Skipping into the forest while twirling her umbrella she caught sight of Dark Iris hair flowing in the wind. Her eyes lit up with joy, "Bernkastel~ Oh Bernkastel~ Guess what?" She sung. Skipping over to the older looking witch and grabbing onto her arm she giggled, "Guess what?" She stuck out her tongue.

A sharp gaze pierced the young girl, "Lambdadelta, you've won, congratulations. You used the swamp as your key tool and the stupid dog... I didn't see it coming... I guess you can be clever." She hissed while trying to shake the girl off of her.

Lambdadelta growled in annoyance, "No! No! No! That's not what I'm saying ! Puueeeey~ I'm saying you lost~" Her eyes suddenly glowed even harsher than before, "Now you must hand over your head to its respectful owner!" She whispered in a stern voice as she grasped the woman's arms and cackled loudly.

Bernkastel looked at her with wide eyes as a shackle appeared around her neck with a chain linked to it. Following the chain, which lead directly into Lambdadelta's tight grip, Bernkastel glared into Lambdadelta's narrowed eyes, "What do you mean?"

"Our deal sweetheart... If I win... You must be my slave, and I get your head!" As she screamed the last word they disappeared into thin air.

The forest was quiet, there was no sound except for the patter of rain against the leaves of the trees. Nothing but silence.
