Ch.9 : Asking For Help


I was on the boat looking through the stuff in my back pack. That Law has given me once the wind was calm. Layna was staring off ahead. I found in a little pocket a Den Den Mushi. Law told me about these one day. The snail looked real cute.

'Maybe it's a direct line to Law.' I thought to myself.
"Layna, do you which island is in the direction..?" I asked her. Layna nodded her head.
"I do actually its an Island called Maydrid, an odd name I know but, I have been to that village before though it could be considered a Town but most call it a Village.." Layna told me.

I don't know what was going to happen there with those people taken Mimika. I picked up the snail phone. I waited for it to ring.

"Kayla-ya, I wasn't expecting you to phone me so soon.." Law's voice reached my ears.
"I wish this could be a pleasant chat, but, in my current situation, I have feeling I am going to need your help, Law.." I said to him.

"Mimika has been kidnapped due to a storm and other circumstances, I have gotten separated from Tsuna and right now, I am headed to an Island called Maydrid, I will tell you the other details later, I have no other way of trying to convince you other then saying this" I took a deep breath.

"Law please help me, I need you.." I said truthfully before hanging up the phone. I felt kind of bad by hanging up with out hearing an answer.

Layna glanced at me.
"How many days..? " I asked her.
"Four." She told me.
"Alright, lets get Mimika back." I said to her.
"Aye.." Layna stood up her sword ready.

Four days of sail with just me and Layna. The boat felt kind of empty. I was worried for Tsuna. I trusted the Straw hats and their doctor. Vivi and Shaymi will be alright too. The only concern is remembering that scared face from Mimika. She was never like that during our voyage.

She was always smiling and at times reckless. That got Tsuna to argue with her. She was never scared or terrified. I had to help her because she was important to me, No, She was important to us because she was our friend and apart of our family.

I sighed a little but felt determination. I saw that island. I moved the boat up to the island. I took a step on the shore.

Layna right beside me. I walked towards the path. I fallow the trail to the village. What I saw there made my eyes widen.

There bodies and bodies of people on the ground. Blood was everywhere. I could hear screaming coming further ahead. I ran towards the screaming and to my horror it was Mimika going on a rampage killing people with her claws.

I stared in shock seeing the blood. She hissed and chased after people. She was going mad with her vampiric instincts.

"Whats going on!? is that really Mimika..?" Layna asked me. I stared at her. She was slaughtering the people left to right.

"She's in pain.." I said.
"Layna, stay back, leave this to me." I ordered. Layna look uncertain. She nodded her head giving me her unwavering trust.

I walked towards Mimika. When I got closer it was like hearing her cries of pain as she lost control. I don't know what those people did to her. I wasn't about to let them win.

Mimika was about to slash at another person. I ran over to her. I hugged her tightly in my arms. She struggled out of my grasp.

"Mimika! its me! Kayla! its okay!" I shouted. She hissed out. I saw the tears. Her eyes a blood shot red.

"ITS NOT YOUR FAULT! " I yelled out to her.
"it hurst for you doesn't it..? because of your uncontrollable thirst, its okay, Mimika.." I tighten my hold on her.
"I am here for you, lets go back to the other together..? okay? Shaymi is waiting with Tsuna and Vivi.." I said to her.

"And its okay, if you drink my blood, there is nothing to be afraid, just drink it, take as much you like.." I requested.
"please, Mimika come back to us, we all need you.." I whispered in her ears. When she bite down on my neck. I gasped out from the bite. I held on to her.

'She already hates herself from killing as these people, So , with my Dying Will, I refuse to die..' I thought to myself. I felt something inside of me resonate. I couldn't focus on that as my blood was being drained from my body.

I just tighten my hold on her. I encouraged her drink as much as she needed. Even when my vision was getting blurry. I kept her close to me. The harsh drinking from her slow down.

"Kayla..?" Mimika's voice was back to normal as she looked at me. Those purple eyes of hers have returned.

"Its okay now, Mimika, there is nothing to be afraid of because your Nakama is here for you, so don't blame yourself for this.." I was hanging by a thread.
"Let Go Back Together.." I felt myself falling and my vision turning back.

"KAYLA!" Mimika's screamed was the last thing. I heard before everything went black.
