CHAPTER 7
Emi's P.O.V.
I walked into my classroom to see Laito sitting towards the back. He waved me over, so of course wanting to avoid causing trouble, I complied. "You sit here." He demanded, pointing to the desk beside his. The rest of the class turned around to look at who Laito was talking to; me. The desk he was pointing to wasn't empty. Suddenly his hand shot out and shoved the girl at the desk, who happened to be Miyuki. Miyuki crashed into another desk, and being that there was no teacher in the room yet to see this, Miyuki ran to find another empty desk. "Sit." Laito said again.
I stood there in shock. "How could you do that to Miyuki you idiot fedora boy!?" A few of the people in the class giggled at the comment. Kanna, who was listening to music on her iPod took out her earbuds to comprehend what was going on. Noticing that Miyuki was on the floor underneath a desk and Emi was standing in front of Laito. Kanna stood up and walked over to him.
"What did you do this time?" she asked him in a more than annoyed tone.
Miyuki's P.O.V.
I hid under the desk, nursing my many bruises from crashing into the desk. Peeking out from under the desk, I watched Kanna approaching Laito and Emi. What's going on? I wondered. Laito stood up and grabbed the arm of each girl. "A word in the hallway." He then dragged them into the hallway. I stood to follow, but tried to be stealthy so they wouldn't notice my presence. Once there, I saw the girls sitting on the floor, and Laito stood by the opposite wall with Reiji and Kanato. "You girls are expected to behave yourselves. You have no rights as you normally would, and if you don't learn that faster, we are going to have problems." Reiji said, annoyed. The girls looked at them with hate and disgust in their eyes.
"Well, that fedora idiot over there pushed Miyuki off of her chair "Kanna growled. Reiji scowled, and slapped Kanna across the face. "You idiot girl! Did you not hear what I just said?!" He yelled.
Emi stood up and stomped her foot on the ground. "I don't care who you are. NOBODY HITS KANNA!"
I was fed up now, I was fridging angry! How dare they kidnap us and then fridging torture us like this! Before I knew of my own actions, I had tackled Reiji to the ground and pulled on his hair. "Go horsey go!" I yelled. Reiji growled from beneath me, and suddenly I was kicked across the floor to the other side of the hall. Subaru's footprint left yet another bruise on my side. I got up into a crawling position, the most I could manage in my current state, and tried to crawl away. "Holy crap!" Emi yelled. "What are you trying to do? Kill them?! I'm surprised nobody else is out here yet! But seriously….. Why does nobody realize the fight that's going on here right now? Doesn't anybody hear it?"
"It isn't a fight" Subaru spoke aloud. "It's a lesson." "Oh! So we're learning now….. Learning what idiots you are? The classroom is that way." Emi said pointing to the right. I only made it three feet before I was lifted off of the ground. I kicked and screamed and punched, trying to escape. The classroom door started opening and kids came out trying to see what was going on. A hand clasped around my mouth to keep me quiet, but I still squirmed around trying to get free. "Shit." Subaru whispered under his breath. "Let's go, we can't stay here anymore." Reiji said, getting to his feet. He grabbed the girls, and they headed outside to the waiting limo.
Kanna's P.O.V.
We were stuffed into the limo and were driven back to the mansion. The ride had been silent and eventless aside from a few unhappy glances. I touched the side of my face where Reiji slapped me. I looked over at Emi and she moved over to show the window. I looked at my reflection through the window. There was a pink hand mark on the side of my face. I scowled and looked at Reiji angrily. I leaned over to Emi's ear and whispered, "If this mark doesn't heal by tomorrow, I will kill Reiji." She smiled at me and shifted her glance to Laito.
I looked over to Reiji again. He was reading his book. Suddenly my hand grabbed the book and pushed Emi out of the way. What the fuck? I didn't do that!? I thought. I skimmed through the pages reading a few words at a time but Reiji snatched the book before I could keep going. I growled and stood up, my fedora falling to the ground. I pulled the book out of Reiji's grasp again somehow. Looking outside, I noticed it was pretty dark.
Suddenly I couldn't control my arm and everyone watched as I threw the book through the window, the glass shattering everywhere. Reiji tried to grab me and pin me down but I resisted and twisted his arm back instead. He winced and fell to the floor. I looked at Miyuki and she looked scared. Fucking hell! What am I doing?! I thought. Suddenly someone grabbed me from behind and pinned me down. I smirked when I saw Subaru, "Well, someone wants to play! Well then, let's play!" I growled. I bashed him in the head with my head and he fell, unconscious. Am I going insane? I thought. I stood up and looked around. "Anyone else want to play?" I asked. Suddenly I felt a pain in my heart. I fell to the ground and my whole body started to ache. It all went away as quick as it had come, and I now felt numb. I couldn't control myself. Shit! I thought. I saw people coming towards me, trying to grab me. I watched as Miyuki and Emi screamed to me, wondering what in the world I was doing. I pushed them both away and Emi hit her head on the door of the limo. I looked at the broken window and felt my legs push me towards it. I felt a strong hand try to grasp me but I jumped out of the car and stepped onto the street before he could grab me. My expression went blank as I stood on the street, motionless. "I need to find him." I said. What the hell! That's not even my voice. What is going on? I thought angrily. I began to panic and it was showing through my eyes, it was showing through whatever this… thing was that was controlling me. I saw the limo come to a stop, all of the brothers got out, but my possessed body had already teleported to the woods before they could reach me.
Ayato's P.O.V.
I looked down at Reiji's book that was on the ground, then to Reiji, and then to Miyuki and Emi who were still in the limo. Emi was on the floor unconscious, Miyuki's beanie was beside her, which revealed a pair of cat ears on her head, and Yui looked as if she were having a panic attack. Damn, these girls never know what to do in a stressful situation I thought. Reiji mumbled something to himself but the only word I could make out was the one word I never wanted to hear again. Cordelia.
Suddenly Miyuki stepped out of the limo, and walked closer to the woods that started only a few feet away. Her ears perked up and she seemed to sniff the air. That girl has lost it. I thought to myself. Then she started running right into the woods. "Follow her" Emi said drowsily, beginning to wake up.
Reiji speaks up and he sounds upset. "We need to get back home." Emi looks to me. "My friends are out there. I am NOT leaving." She said with a worried look on her face. I look out into the woods and sigh. Reiji is right, we need to get home and try to fix this mess. I look at Reiji who has picked up his book and at Emi who has gotten out of the limo and is now yelling for Miyuki and Kanna. I frown and decide to confront her. "I don't think they are coming back anytime soon". She looks at me with tears forming in her eyes. I see Laito get out of the car, and he sees Emi looking like she is about to cry. I climb up a tree to see if I can spot Miyuki or even Kanna. I see nothing. Getting down, I try to convince everyone that we should leave and get everything ready for when we come back to find the girls and cure Kanna. "Let's go" Subaru says. Reiji and I nod in unison and we all pile into the car. Laito has to carry a crying Emi into the limo. I feel bad, but we will fix everything before she knows it.
Back at the mansion, we spread out to different rooms. Reiji immediately went to his room to search for a cure for Kanna. Emi had stopped crying on the way back, and was now curled up on the couch beside Laito. Shu lay on the couch opposite Emi listening to his MP3 player, and Kanato sat at the window gazing outside. No one knew where Subaru had disappeared to. I simply watched as Laito attempted to soothe Emi's nerves. Soon we would travel back to the woods to find Kanna and Miyuki.
Kanna's P.O.V.
I looked around the woods, tears were starting to form in my eyes. "What's happened to me?" I screamed. I was so angry and sad that I slumped against the nearest tree and cried. Is this real life? I thought. I pinched myself and I looked around again. Of course it is you foolish girl. A foreign voice came from inside my own head. I looked around to see if anyone was there. Standing up, I climbed the nearest tree. Looking around again I saw no one. I decided I had to be on alert if I was to find my way out of the woods, and started walking on the clearest path I could see. I knew no one was around, but I still didn't feel I was alone.
My theory was proven when at the snap of a twig I could no longer control my actions. Whipping around, I saw Miyuki lunging at me. She had a huge smile on her face, but I couldn't share that smile. Suddenly my hand swung out and wrapped around her neck, throwing her into a tree. "Don't get involved in this little girl." My voice said. I fought for control as I watched Miyuki struggle to get up below me. I squeezed tighter at her neck until she wasn't squirming anymore. I then finally let her go and watched as a limp Miyuki fell to the ground.
Right after I almost choked Miyuki to death, I was on the floor crying for her to wake up. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Keep your friends out of my way, and they won't get hurt. The voice said.
"WHO ARE YOU!? WHERE ARE YOU!?" Keep your voice down! Speaking louder doesn't make any difference. The voice snickered. Then I was standing up against my will, and moving deeper into the woods. It seemed like forever before I...we stopped. There was a glowing plant before me...us. It looked like a mushroom, yet it had glowing yellow stripes. We stopped and picked it up, stuffing a few smaller ones into our pockets. Then we continued on. Deeper and deeper into the woods.
Emi's P.O.V
I couldn't believe that Kanna and Miyuki were out in the woods, while the brothers simply lazed around the mansion. Uncaring. I sat on the couch curled up and crying, Laito sat beside me. "Pop-Tart stop crying would you? Tears won't find Kanna and Miyuki." Laito spoke softly, suddenly pulling me into his arms. "Can you get your girlfriend to shut up already? She's drowning out my music." Shu spoke quietly, but was clearly agitated. Laito chuckled, and winked at me. I felt my face turning red. Shit. I thought. Laito laughed even more and picked me up off of the couch; cradling me in his arms. "I- I can walk Laito!" I said, embarrassed. He simply ignored me, and kept walking. "Let's go in the pool!" He yelled. "Laito I'm busy!" Reiji yelled from upstairs. The other boys didn't argue though, and left for their rooms, supposedly to get changed.
I really didn't want to go in a pool, but I guess it would get my mind off of worrying. "Laito I don't have a swim suit." I told him. He set me down in what I guessed was my room, and took a bikini out of my closet. It was Tardis blue with beautiful green plastic gems lining the top and bottom. "Laito I can't wear this! It's basically two scraps of fabric!" I yelled. Laito frowned. "I think you'll look adorable Pop-Tart." He said softly, and pushed the bikini into my arms.
I found the pool to be quite large, even though I couldn't see much from my hiding place behind one of the large white pillars. I couldn't hide for long though, because soon I was being dragged towards the pool by Ayato. Yui, who couldn't swim, sat on a towel by the side of the pool. All of a sudden, we were all shoved into the pool by a Kanna running at full speed screaming "AYATOOO!" I pulled myself up to the surface, gasping for air and coughing up water. How is this swimsuit still on me…? On the bright side, it held up better than I thought it would "Emi what the fuck are you wearing?" Kanna asked, disapprovingly. "Ask Laito." I said, still coughing up water. Kanna turned to Laito. "LAITOOO! What is Emi wearing?" she asked as she swam to the ladder. Laito looked at me and grinned. "She is wearing a bikini" he said and winked at her.
"Oh I forgot, the crazy purple haired bitch is still inside me…" I said, now standing on the concrete. "Where's Miyuki?" Kanato asked. Everyone was silently watching Kanna know. Kanna dropped to her knees, tears forming in her eyes. Subaru scowled. "I didn't do it... She did." "What did Miyuki do?" Shu asked. "Not her, the person in my head" Kanna spoke in a whisper. "Kanna what happened to Miyuki?" I asked, pulling herself out of the water. "S-She found me in the woods... I c-couldn't control myself a-and I almost killed her..." Kanna stuttered. "Is she ok?!" I asked. "Yeah, she probably is. She is unconscious in the woods." Kanna answered. "Let's go get her then!" Kanato yelled.
The boys along with Yui, Kanna and I walked to the main room, but before we could get changed we heard a knock on the door. Subaru cautiously approached the door, and slowly opened it. Outside the door was Miyuki, unconscious, being carried by Richter.
