Chapter 6
Kiriya's POV
Little brother? She is my sister? But she summoned those monsters, didn't she? If her words are true, then what am I? UGH! This horrible headache is never ending.
Black: Aren't you… Poisony?! But we defeated you ages ago!
Poisony: Like always, YOU REALLY PISSED ME OFF! Zakenna, do my bidding!
The Cures are attacked by the eel again.
Poisony...nee-san? Those words came into my mind.
Poisony: (to Kiriya) Well, I most certainly did not expect you, of all people, would betray the Dark King. You are the SHAME of the family!
Me: Who are you? What do you know about me?
Poisony: Don't play dumb! You are my little brother Kiriya, you are a descendant of Dusk Zone but you are a traitor! You betrayed our King by joining forces with these brats. If you think you can avoid punishment by acting like an amnesiac, you are absolutely wrong!
Dusk Zone? Dark King? Descendant? Sister?
I look at Cure White, who practically is being tortured now, why do I feel like I've seen this before? Seeing her like this makes me feel like my heart can explode and burn any moment now. Why? I only know her a few days ago… unless… I don't?
AHHHHH! My head!
Huh? Humans are weak… No, it's because they work together that humans are strong, right? You don't know a damn thing about me, DON'T ACT SO HIGH AND MIGHTY! Kiriya-kun, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!
I won't run from my fate, even if I may suffer from it... Build up the courage to defy fate!
Fate? Courage? Right, I am a proud descendant of the Dusk Zone, my mission was to annihilate the Pretty Cure.
Poisony: Well?
Me: That's right, as a descendant of the great Dusk Zone, I was sent to defeat the Pretty Cure for the sake of our Dark King's immortality.
White: (half-consciously) No… Don't fall into the dark side again…
Poisony: Finally given up on the act huh? But that doesn't change anything, it's too late, even if you are my brother, I would not forgive anyone who betrayed the Dark King. As soon as I finish off these arrogant and annoying little girls, I will send you off with them. Let me see, who should I start with? Maybe I'll start with the good-looking one.
The Zakennas dodge while she lengthens her hair which is charged with electricity, and aims for Cure White…
Cure White braces herself with her arms which she knows is useless and closed her eyes.
A huge screen of smoke covers everyone's sight.
Poisony: (evil laughter) I'm just starting.
Black: WHITE!
Me: Heh! Don't overestimate yourself.
Honoka's POV
Huh? I don't feel any pain, except from the bruises and burns which are already on my body.
I widen my eyes in shock, I didn't get hit, but he did.
The green hair boy stands in front of me, being tied up by Poisony's hair and burnt very severely.
Kiriya-kun, you shielded me…
Poisony: Have you gone insane? Why in the name of Dark King would you protect a being of the light?
What were you thinking? You are an ordinary human now, that attack could have been fatal! It could have killed you!
Kiriya: My memories are still hazy but I remember that I want to be alive just so I can protect Honoka-san, I swore to myself I would protect the girl who had taught me to care, to love, to be brave. That's why, even if it's nee-san, even if it's Poisony-nee-san whom I missed so much, I will fight, by all means, I will protect Honoka.
(Gasp) Can it be..? No! I shouldn't think of this now. But if it's true…
Kiriya's POV
I said I will protect her though it's easier said than done, I can't expect either of the Cures to help, I'll have to do this on my own. But what can I do, it's impossible for a human to go against a servant of the Dark King, well, a past servant, but still. OWW! I don't think my consciousness can hold on much longer, and I don't think I can get out of this binding hair, what can I do?
Poisony: Strange… I don't feel any dark power from you, could it be you've lost your power? Haha! Then that would be easy for me, prepare to meet your demise!
She binds a few strands of her massive hair around my neck, I find it harder and harder to breathe but I have no strength to struggle, it has become harder to keep my eyes open as well…
Then suddenly I feel the grip of her hair loosened, I open my eyes and find Cure White kicking Poisony aside but unable to keep her balance when she landed.
I fall to the ground and cough for a few time, relieved that I can breathe again. Then I look at Cure White, who probably doesn't have much strength left in her just like me, even so she still stands up weakly and staggered towards me, then stood in front of me, she bites her lips to refrain herself from falling.
White: Kiriya-kun, that's enough already, please retreat now. I know you are just a human now, this is no place for you to stay, please escape, it's too dangerous!
Me: But you can't…
Poisony: (interrupt) Hello? Is anyone forgetting something? Me. I'm still here and don't think I've given up on killing you!
End of chapter 6
Author's note: somehow I feel like the next chapter won't be well written, be prepared… anyways, please review, thanks for reading.
