Hilo everyone! I'm trying to write longer chapters. Honest I am, but I have to babysit so I hardly get the time especially since it took seven hours to type up the first chapter. I'm really sorry and I'll try to type longer since I just got a wonderful idea and end this story in possibly two chapters.
Here's a quote for your troubles:
"I haven't reported my missing credit card to the police because whoever stole it is spending less than my wife."
Yoko's POV
Sorry Kurama, but a deal's a deal, I thought as I regained control. Reina found out the truth about us and she told us all we needed to know and now her damned mother angered me even more which just makes my ideas much more interesting. So, technically I didn't break Kurama's deal.
I ran to Reina's home and to my luck her mother was there. I smirked evilly trying to decide what I should do with her. I'll probably decide later, after a few days while she's locked up in a dark room with no food or water and letting the rats nibble at her.
Someone was walking up to her and to my surprise it was a demon dressed in a horrible disguise. I could hear them even at a distant thanks to my ears.
"We had a deal," said the demon. His voice was raspy.
"She isn't dead yet. The Atropa Belladonna didn't work. I thought you said it would work? My worthless daughter would be dead!" Said the mother.
Atropa Belladonna? That's Deadly Nightshade, I thought. No wonder I didn't know what kind of plant it was. It grows in America.
"You had your shot to kill her and you lost it. I even distracted her friends for you with my own kin who were so dreadfully slaughtered."
So he's the one who controlled them! Now why would he make a deal with this petty human?
As if they heard my question the mother said, "I said that if you give me the tools so I can kill Reina I would give you my soul. She isn't dead yet!"
"Hehehehehe. Did you not hear your own words? You said if I give you the tools. I did and you couldn't kill her. You humans are all pathetic."
He was about to steal her soul before I slashed him to pieces with my claws.
The woman in front of me smiled 'innocently' and said, "Oh thank you. Thank you." She even had tears in her eyes. "Thank you for saving me!"
I just wanted to slash out her throat, but that would have been a too early death so I played along with her game. I bent down to her ear and whispered, "Let's go somewhere a little more private, hmm?"
She was shivering in excitement. "Yeah."
I was getting sick to my stomach. I lifted her up bridal style and ran. I had to run far enough away so no one would hear her screams of agony except for me. I ran into the forest, dodging a few stray branches on the way to a cave. It was good enough.
I dropped her on the hard stone floor and she yelped with pain. "What was that for?!"
"This is only the beginning." I grabbed her by the hair and dragged her farther in the cave.
She was writhing to get free and she was making frustrated grunting noises. "Let me go! I didn't do anything!"
My arm 'twitched' and I slammed her into a nearby wall. "Oh so you didn't try to kill your child?!"
She was moaning in pain before she answered me. "If she died I could bring back Hoshi."
"What?" Whoops, so I guess I did break the deal after all, I thought. "What the Hell are you spouting out?"
"If I killed her I could bring back my husband. His soul would reside in that worthless girl's body and I can have my life back!" She said glaring daggers at me.
I admit, she had guts, but what she was doing was sick.
She continued. "The body would be his and would change to look like him so I would truly have him back." She was smiling.
This is sickening, I thought as I slammed her into the wall again, rendering her unconscious, and dragged her again by the hair. I was thinking of a suitable punishment for two cases of attempted murder and attempt to disturb the dead. It was going to be slow, bloody, and painful for her.
Reina's POV
I had a wonderous dream. It was more like a fantasy really. Kurama and I were married and we had kids. They were so beautiful. There was a boy and a girl. The boy looked a couple of years older, probably eight.
The boy looked so similar to Kurama. His hair was a darker red, but they had the same face, not counting the chubbiness in the face because he was so young. His eyes were an extremely bright green that contrasted with his hair so much.
The little girl had a reddish-brown hair and she had hazel eyes that were beautiful. the outside of the iris was a bright green and the center was light brown.
I was so happy chasing them around and picking them up with the older Kurama. There laughs were the most radiant noises that had ever graced my ears. I was so happy I wanted to cry.
Then it was disturbed by darkness. Everything was crumbling. The boy that was in my arms turned to ash and flowed with the wind. I ran to Kurama and the little girl to hug them and when I did they, too, turned to ash. Then there was no ground or sky... no sun or moon... nothing dead or alive in front of my eyes. I was surrounded by darkness.
I felt like I was floating, drifting, with no way to tell where I was going.
"Reina..." said a voice.
That voice... It sounds so familiar...
"Reina..." said the same voice.
Kurama? I thought. "Kurama? Where are you?"
"Reina..." said the voice.
There was a bright light that blinded me.
"Reina... Come..."
I finally recognized the voice. "No! You abandoned me! I don't want to be with you! Leave me alone like you wanted to Dad!"
Just then I was back in the apartment and Mom and Dad were arguing right in front of my eyes. It was from before he died.
"Ive already heard this . I don't need to hear this again!"
"She isn't weak!" Yelled Dad.
What? I don't remember that...
"She is weak, but if you believe she is so strong you can keep her. She's too much of a weakling for my taste," Mom said.
Mom was the one that said that?... But... I thought...
"Give her a chance. She can change to stick up for herself. She just needs time," Dad said.
"No! Once you're old enough to remember something ten years from now you stay that way. Once a weakling, always and forever a weakling," Mom seethed. She looked so angry and Dad looked so calm even if he was in the shadows and I couldn't see him well enough.
He took a swallow of his Jack Daniel and said, "I'll be back to pick Reina up." He slammed the door on his way out. I heard my little footsteps run into my room. Mom didn't notice.
Mom growled and hurled her bottle at the door. It shattered to pieces and her liquor sprayed and dripped onto the floor. She grabbed the phone and called someone. "Make an accident happen... NOW!" She slammed the phone back into the cradle.
Everything disappeared again except for the light and the shadowed figure of Dad. "How did I get it mixed up so bad?" I asked. It became clearer to me.
"Your mother kept telling you that she loved you so much that you thought that you heard wrong and assumed I said what you believed I said."
"I still don't want to come with you though... at least... not yet," I said.
"What?" He sounded a little confused. "I didn't want you to come with me to death, I wanted you to come so I could show you that."
"I'm still a little confused. How could you love that homicidal witch?"
He chuckled at my words. "We were drunk and she got pregnant with you. I, indeed, was the father. So I stayed with her until you were born. In truth, I loved Atsuko. The father of Yusuke had disappeared so I thought I had a chance with her. I was planning to take you with me so we could be a family with Atsuko and Yusuke. Your mother knew I loved her so she was jealous. Do you understand?"
I nodded. I was actually happy and I wanted to cry. It all made sense now. The way Atsuko fussed over me and always talked about the good things about him and the way I always felt at home when I was with Yusuke and her.
The light dimmed and he was disappearing. "No! Wait please don't go! Don't leave me again!"
"I never left in the first place," he said as everything grew dark again.
I, once again, was drifting in the never ending darkness. "Ooooohhh. Wake up! I need to wake up!" I kept yelling
I usually paced when I was frustrated so I decided to try. Something kept tugging at me though. It felt like some sort of mask and a needle in my arm. I took them off and that's when I realized I was awake and my eyes were being blinded by the bright lights. My arm was bleeding because I took the needle out so I grabbed some gauze and sneak out by climbing through a first story window so there wasn't much of a drop.
I had to find Kurama, even if it was in the middle of the night. Actually I was glad it was the middle of the night, just so no one would see me in a hospital gown. I was a little dizzy, probably because I got up to early and because of the blood, but I had to get to Kurama's house. I had to walk since the buses close and I didn't have money for a cab. I think they're closed as well.
It was a long walk and I knew I couldn't make it so I decided to go to Yusuke's house. It took about an hour and I had to rest several times because I was afraid to faint. I knocked as loud as I could, hoping they could hear me. I pounded on the door with my fists as hard as I could for about ten minutes until Yusuke finally answered.
He immediately was wide awake when he took one look at me. "Reina?! What are you doing here? I thought you were in the hospital?" He took another look at me and said, "Oh. You were."
He brought me inside. I was shivering my butt off. He sneak into his mom's room and got some clothes. He even brought underwear. I tried to change without falling over with some success. The sink was a good enough hand-rail to keep me steady. When I came out Yusuke asked a ton of question that I didn't feel like answering.
"Why did you sneak out of the hospital? Why did you come here of all places? Did something happen? I everything alright? What about-"
I interrupted him by asking, "Can you call Kurama?"
He looked a little annoyed, but he called anyway. I waited patiently. Yusuke tried a couple more times and said, "He's not picking up."
"That's not possible. He always has his phone on and he would have woken up by the second call."
"Well he's not answering."
"Something's wrong then. Something has to be wrong."
"Alright, you stay here while I go and look for him."
"Oh no you're not! You're taking me with you. You're not leaving me alone after what that Yoko person... demon, did!"
"What'd he do."
"He gave me this weird flower and it sprayed this dust and I fell asleep!" I whispered loudly while thinking, I'll never forgive him for doing that.
"Oook. Well you still need to st-"
"No!"
"You're so frustrating... Fine I'll take you with me."
"Thank you Yusuke!"
"I don't think you should walk though so climb on or I 'm ditching you.''
I climbed on his back and we went to Kurama's house. We arrived there about forty-five minutes later. He carefully put me down and knocked on the door. About fifteen minutes later Kurama's mom answered the door.
"Yusuke? Wha-" She asked and then looked at me. "Reina? What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in the hospital!"
"I know, but I need to see Kur- er Shuiichi."
"Alright, come in and sit down. You should really be in the hospital, Reina. Someone tried to poison you last night."
"What?!" Yusuke and I yelled.
Maybe that's what ruined that wonderful dream I had, I thought, sadly.
She went upstairs and came down with a horror struck face. "He's not here. He's gone."
"What?!" Yusuke and I yelled again. Maybe I hang out with Yusuke a little too much.
"Alright I'll go find him," Yusuke said about to go out the door.
"Yusuke!" I yelled before he left without me.
He stopped and allowed me to climb on his back again. "Where would he go?" I mumbled out loud.
"I have an idea and I don't think it was Kurama that left," Yusuke said.
"Yoko?"
Yusuke hurried quickly to... my house?! "Stay down here while I see if your mom's here." I hid under the stone steps of the stairs while Yusuke went up the stairs. He knocked several times and there was no answer.
Mom's not here? I thought. Where would she go?
Yusuke came back down and said, "Yoko must have taken your mom."
"What? Why?"
Yusuke didn't answer and I knew he wouldn't. I climbed on his back and off we went. Yusuke looked like he was thinking and he ended up going in this forest on the far side of the city.
"Why are we in a forest?"
"Just trust me on this."
He ran as if he knew where he was going and stopped at the mouth of a cave. "What is this place?''
He put me down gently and said, "Stay here. I don't want you to sprain or twist your ankle or whatever." He ran in.
I waited for a few minutes and said to myself, "Likely excuse Yusuke, but I'm not falling for it." I went inside the cave. It was pitch black and I tried not to trip. I put my hands on the wall of the cave and slowly walked farther in.
After a few more minutes of walking I saw a dim light of a torch. I let go of the wall and walked normally. I walked farther and farther into the cave. I reached a strange door and slowly opened it. There was a bright light to reveal...
Hilo again! Sorry for the cliffhanger, but I have to babysit. Probably one or two chapters to go, depending on my mood. I suspect you're all going to get mad at me for the next chapter though. Ah well, it's my story. Please review though. I love hearing from you people.
