A/N: Okay, so I have finished writing this story now. I'll probably post the rest some time this week.
Chapter 10
Anri had always thought that she would never be scared of Mikado. Even when he was in his dark phase leading the color gang the blue squares, she had always known he would never harm her. She had just been worried about him. In this moment though, she was scared. The smile on Mikado's face just didn't look right. Almost as though the smile was being forced upon by invisible tacks. It was majorly creepy.
She didn't want to look at it anymore, but she had to since he was coming right towards. She pulled the sword out of her and held it protectively in front of her body. She was supposed to have her weapon with her for protection, but the shadow hunters didn't want her to do the main fighting. She was more of a just-in-case strategy. Anri didn't mind though. She really didn't like fighting.
She had been all too prepared to slash into the monster that tormented her greatest friend whom she loved. She would have had no hesitation slashing that monster. However, none of them expected Mikado to be used against them like this.
They hadn't downright said not to hurt him, but it shouldn't have needed to be said. Mikado was still in there, so Anri would not be able to hurt him. She didn't know what she would do if he made it to her. There was a purple blur, and then Anri could see Jace somewhat in front of her, blocking Mikado with his blade.
There was a thin cut across Mikado's arm where the blade caught him. As soon as the prince's command had been heard, Jace, Alec, and Isabelle had immediately formed a protective wall in front of Anri. Jace had been standing forward in the wall.
Mikado stepped back and seethed in pain. This time his mouth was a thin straight line. Again, nothing changed in his eyes.
"My master said not to let anyone get in my way. Sorry Jace."
Mikado raised his hands in front of him, this time the dark purple sparks shooting off of his fingers like crazy. He pulled his hands towards himself slowly, almost as though he was readying a catapult. Then as he quickly pushed his hands forward, Jace was surrounded by a dark purple mist that very quickly lifted him high into the air and threw him really far behind them.
"JACE!" Isabelle and Alec both cried out, but didn't move from their position.
The prince laugh maniacally. "Oh, another perk I discovered is that I can put some of my powers in him. The very powerful magic usually drains my energy, so this way I can use it without feeling drained at all."
A little bit after Jace couldn't be seen anymore, Alec doubled over in pain.
"ALEC!" Isabelle caught herself from leaving her position, knowing that's what the adversaries wanted.
Mikado casually walked over to Alec. "Well you weren't very hard to take care of." He placed the sparking fingers on Alec's neck, and the sparks turned white as he touched him. Instantly every part of Alec froze in the position of being curled up in pain.
He wasn't just still, it was almost as though he had been turned into a statue. This was very unsettling and freaky. Anri couldn't help but look up at Mikado very warily.
"I know Master said I could do whatever I wanted with them, but killing is just too messy. Neutralizing is so much more efficient."
Isabelle's whip wrapped around one of Mikado's wrists tightly. He just casually glanced at it.
"Okay, creepy-fake-kado. Just because I don't want to kill you, doesn't mean I won't do whatever it takes to get my job done." She flung her wrist and Mikado was flipped over backwards and landed hard on the ground facedown.
Then, Anri noticed white sparks shoot off of the whip and Mikado began to writher around spastically.
Oh, it must be an electric shock whip. Anri knew that Isabelle was protecting her, but she couldn't watch Mikado like this.
She looked away.
After the spasms stopped, Mikado just laid there for a moment.
Then, before they could even blink, a dark purple blur spun round and around Isabelle. When the blur stopped, Mikado stood in front of Isabelle. The whip was now wrapped completely around her keeping her from moving.
"You know, Isabelle, shocking doesn't feel good." He touched a sparking finger to the whip and then the whip became engulfed in dark blue sparks.
Isabelle started screaming bloody murder. She fell to the ground and writhed all around still screaming. Anri noticed that her skin was starting to turn red in spots. This was going on much longer than it had with Mikado. He just stood there with his finger still placed on the whip, not looking like he would move it any time soon.
Anri couldn't take it anymore.
"STOP IT!" She cried out. Warm tears started spilling out of Anri's eyes from seeing Isabelle in such great pain.
Mikado didn't remove his finger but he looked at Anri, still expressionless. Anri just couldn't believe that her Mikado could be so cruel…she just couldn't!
"MIKADO! PLEASE! PLEASE STOP IT!"
He still stood there, not moving his finger. Anri fell to her knees from all the emotion going through her.
I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU…she should have known that this would happen again. The tears kept spilling out and she couldn't stop them. She knew that wasn't really Mikado, but it still scared her. It still pained her to see him like that.
Isabelle stopped screaming, but her body was still thrashing about. Mikado finally removed his finger. As he stood up, Anri noticed something she hadn't before.
Mikado's face was still expressionless but…his face looked wet. She could see now, tears had been rolling down his cheeks. She looked up at him. Eyes still vacant, mouth still a thin line.
Yet, even though no emotions were being expressed, more tears rolled down his face the moment he looked at her. They kept going, just like hers had been a moment ago.
He very unnaturally stalked over to her.
"I'm hoping after the display shown you won't give me a problem. I'm not supposed to hurt you, but I still need to do what I have been commanded and that is to collect you."
Anri just stayed like that for a moment.
What do I do?
A/N: I didn't forget about Magnus.
