DRAMAtical InSaNiTy

Chapter 10: The unexpected…at the end

I didn't think I would go this far to achieve a goal that didn't really matter. I started to lose sight of every single thing. I was completely aggravated. I found out about how my life, shouldn't have existed. I found out who my parents were and what they did to me, just to bring me back to life. Now, here I am, going face to face with my dear dysfunctional parents and trying to save Ikumi's life. I know she is terrified on what she sees and also finding out about me dying. No one knows, except Mizuki. So, these news must have shocked her even if she is in a injured state. My mansion, my clan, my own selfish-ness; was being destroyed into an oblivion. As the trigger was pulled, a loud bang interrupted the silence. Did you think a single gun-shot was going to kill me? You thought wrong. For that, I'm already seeing myself giving an attack to Tatsuya, my father. My red flamed up hair, followed my every movement as I gave Tatsuya my punches. He blocked them, of course. I look to where Haruki, my mother, who stood and just watched us dual. I wasn't very impressed on how she couldn't give a fight but I'm pretty sure she is planning to attack me at any moment. My dad finally gave a punch to my stomach, and it hurt pretty badly. His hits had the same strength as my own. It was such a hard blow that I managed to spit blood out. I wiped the blood off and ran towards him to give the same attack. He got it but it felt like it didn't even give him a scratch. I held my stomach this time, as I stare into his red eyes. He crossed his arms and gave me one of those dissatisfied looks.

"You're pretty tough." He says.

"I guess I take it from my insane dad." I tell him off and then spit blood out.

He didn't give off a giggle like Haruki did. I rolled my eyes, and gave out another fight stance. I motioned him to give me another attack but this attack was different from the others. He ran towards me, grabbed me by the neck and pinned me towards the broken down wall, bashing my stomach once again. Fuck. It hurt like hell. Why was I feeling weak now? I coughed out blood again and just kneeled on the floor, with one hand holding me up. I can feel the bruises on my body get swollen, and I was also bleeding. When I looked at my dad again, all he did was staring down at me.

"I expected my daughter to be stronger than this. What's going on?"

"What's going on? I'm just an experiment in your eyes. What more can I possibly do to try to put up a good fight, huh?!" I yelled at him. When I did that he started to choke me by the neck and strangle me down on the ground. I gripped onto his wrist, trying to get some air but he had a tight hold. My mom just watched on the sidelines as I struggled trying to fight back. My vision started to blur a bit, but when I looked over to Ikumi, she was already in tears. I didn't mean for her to see this but there was no other way. She had to see me get beat down by my own dad. He finally stopped beating me and I was left on the ground. I felt helpless and I was breathing in and outwards really hard. I looked at the night sky that had smoke floating above me. The flames continued to burn the place, and I looked over at Ikumi, who I noticed was trying to struggle out of there.

"Iku…mi.."

"ECHO! GET UP! PLEASE!"

I can hear her screaming. She was yelling hard so hard. My vision continued to blur out but I didn't want to close my eyes. I didn't want to pass out now. I have given my word to Clear that I would save his girl, no matter what. I couldn't lie.

"Come on body. Move.."

I told myself. I did not want to be taken down by my own father who just stood next to my mother like nothing was wrong with me. I can taste the blood in my mouth again and started to choke from it. At least I was able to turn my body to the side.

"Echo! Come on! I..I know you can get up!" Ikumi continued to yell.

What caught my attention was how my parents didn't pay attention to Ikumi. I wasn't expecting them to do anything else with her, but why was she being held hostage like that. I got up slowly, and stood.

"Want more?" My father asked.

"Heh. I didn't hurt much..*cough*"

As I said that, I had t cough out the blood in me. I held my arm, and slowly brought it up to a stance again. Instead of attacking, I went straight forward to go get Ikumi. When I did that, my father instanly rushed and kicked me away from her. I tumbled to the ground once again.

"Fuck…" I said.

"Stop hurting her! Please!" Ikumi yelled out.

I see Haruki walk over to her, touching her chin and towards her cheek. She then whispered in her ear. I wasn't sure what it was but I noticed Haruki holding out a syringe, of some sort and gave a shot to Ikumi's neck.

"IKUMI!" I yelled out.

Haruki dropped the syringe on the floor and untied the rope and I see Ikumi fall to the ground. What the hell did she do that for? I tried to run towards her but I kept getting hit back by Tatsuya. I kept running to her over and over again, but nothing would work.

"Echo, you know your destiny. Why do you keep on protecting?" Tatsuya asked.

I looked at him and just went for another punch.

"She's my friend. I live in a different world from you so get out of my fucking way!"

"You choose your friends over what happens to your life?!"

"I don't give a damn what will happen later! I deserve it, right?!"

I finally got a chance to kick him away from me and grab a hold of Ikumi. Tatsuya had reached up to us and he kicked me in the back while I carried Ikumi. I landed first on the ground so Ikumi wouldn't get bruised, even though she was a little bit.

"Ikumi….Ikumi! Hey!" I started to yell out. Ikumi looked at me. Her body felt stiff and she couldn't move. I looked at Haruki.

"Did you just paralyze her?!" I cried out.

"It won't hurt her, just leave her on that groun and fight your battles first.

I gave them a glare and just held on to Ikumi.

"Echo…let's run…" She tried to move but she couldn't. I know she was trying to reach my hand so I held her hand back. This wasn't time to run away. My red hair continued to glow, and I put Ikumi at a safe spot. I couldn't let her get into any more danger. Once I ran towards Tatsuya with another punch, he grabbed my fist and threw me on the ground.

"What' wrong with your tactics? It's becoming weak?" he said.

"Shut up, dad!" I gave him a blow to the face and he stayed on the ground. Haruki's gaurds came surounding us, and raised their guns at me. I clenched my hand and stared at all of them.

-Control them-

The voice said.

"Shoot yourself" With that command, the gaurds had shot themselves in the head. All I could see in front of me was blood. I looked around for anymore gaurds while all the blood was being splattered everywhere. Flame was roaring up, and blood mixed in was a sight in my eyes. My body didn't feel normal at this point and I felt like going insane. I had stabbed the hell out of the rest of the guards with a nearby knife, I also even slashed some In the neck. Once that was all over, all I could hear is the fire dying out, and the droplets of blood around me. I looked at my parents with bloody hands and stood in front of them.

"Is this what you wanted to see me do?" I asked them. All they both did was stay quiet. It didn't make sense on how they can just beat me up and then watch be go insane with anger, killing their gaurds as if it was a goal. Haruki walked over to me, and touched me by the shoulder. My red eyes meets with hers and all I could see was that she started to cry. What the hell was wrong with her?

"My dear, I'm sorry..," those were the only words she said and I heard a gunshot that happened. Blood had splat in my face and I noticed her being shot in her back.

"HARUKI!" I hear Tatsuya yell and run towards Haruki. He held her in his arms and then we saw a helipcopter above us. I even noticed Akushima in the helicopter and I went to grab Ikumi away from the place. I grabbed a hold of Tatsuya and we escaped out of the area. We headed out to somewhere safe for now and I looked at Haruki who was bleeding, a lot. I ripped part of my dress and tied it around her around arm. Surprsingly from the shot, she was only hit there. At first I thought it was in the back. She looked at me.

"I'm sorry we had to put you throught this."

I was confused. First, they wanted to hurt me and now this. I touched Haruki's hand.

"You both put up some weird battle there, and even destroying my home." I gave out a glare and then I looked at Tatsuya.

"That wasn't us. It was Toue."

"He used you both to lure me out and kill me, is that right?"

"That wasn't it! I know I hurt you but I knew he was watching. We even brought you to show your power around that area." Once he said that, I slapped him. Feeling disgusted on how my own father, was known to be someone who was a leader of his own mafia, was bowing down to an asshole. I grabbed him by the shirt.

"Why? Why does it have to be like this?! Huh?" I wanted to give another punch but Haruki slowly grabbed my hand.

"It is my fault for accepting the experiment plan when I had you, Echo."

I looked at her. Haruki sat up slowly and looked at me with the most serious look she can ever give.

"Before you were born, we had worked for Toue for a long time. We had learned so many lectures to form a child with a strength, different from Aoba and Sei. We knew how much he was infactuated in using their scrap power but when Tatsuya and I found out about a new scrap, compared to what they have, it was far more powerful then it seems." She explained. I looked over to Ikumi to make sure she was fine, but she was asleep for now. I bet she still had that paralyze shot still in her. I continued to listen to Haruki some more.

"This scrap power is something ancient. You are able to go through time, and fix mistake that would occur, and with that power you are also able to control a person's mind, and control what they do. If you had heard about Aoba being able to voice out his words and being able to go in someones mind, your scrap power is far more worst than that. You look into them and see memories that you were involved in. Those memories are memories you forget, once you awaken this power. That power you have in you, has awaken, and it's making you remember past things that happened. You found out about Koujaku being that child-hood friend, you found out about Noiz, and then you found out about your missing memories of Ikumi and when you were with someone, making Clear. But since now, this scrap of yours is changing you, due to Ryuuhou,putting those tattoo's on you. This made it difficult to control. I noticed it." She stopped talking for a few minutes and just stared at her hands.

"So your saying, my child-hood, was a good one but then once everything started, and I died and came back, this is when that power was able to be in good use?" I asked her. I see Tatsuya nod his head and began to speak.

"We didn't know, that Toue figured out about you, so he asked someone in his company to come to kill us but got to you first. After you passed on, for just a bit. We took you home, and gave the experiment that we wanted on you, and hid you. For Mizuki, we asked him to take you away, and keep you hidden away from Toue."

I remember the times Mizuki had hid me in his place back then, everything was making sense. My own parents had to leave me, Mizuki had a reason to hide me, but I screwed that up. I rubbed my head and wanted to punch something again. I felt disappointed in myself. I thought I could hate my parents for what they did to me. From their words, I knew this was for a reason. They wanted me to kill Toue. That was the main goal. Well, that was the theory I thought about.

"Now that I'm 23, alive to have this second life, why….why did you hide? Why did you go back Toue, and try to bring me to him?" I asked, holding both of their hands.

"We wanted see you again, after we heard you were part of Morphine with your own will. Toue knew you were around just didn't think you were the child, he could of just kept you. But…thanks to those twin boys that hanged around you, we had heard a lot of things from them, and they kept you away from Toue, since they read about a lot of information about you and what you are, and seeing us, who are your parents, they had an interest in you." Tatsuya said.

Twin boys? I blinked my eyes and gave myself a face plant. Oh god. Virus and Trip, those fools.

"Those guys aren't twins, they just used me for their fun. They have no real objective." I said with an annoyance.

I hear my parents both giggle. I looked at them wanting to smile but I kept a straight face. I wanted to face Toue myself.

"Mom. Dad. I'll face Toue for you. I want you both to stay away for awhile."

Haruki gripped onto my hand tightly and it hurt a bit.

"No! You are not going to go alone! Are you-"

"It is my goal. If anything, just know that, you got to see me again, but all grown up. Be glad I'm still alive right now." I looked at her. I pushed her hand away and stood up to grab Ikumi in my arms, to carry her. I threw some keys to Tatsuya and he caught it.

"I have a little house near by, go there and stay there for now. I'll promise I will come back." I told them.

Tatsuya stood up and then gave me a hug.

"I'm sorry for everything. You are all bruised and hurt."

"Heh, you fight like me but with more power. You better use those to hit gaurds that may get in the way." I gave a pat on the back.

"You both are my parents, and I will only say this once. I love you both."

I gave them a smile and ran off with Ikumi in my arms to go drop her off at Glitter with Aoba and everyone else. I arrived there this time and I see them all sit in the living room. I looked at the mirror first to see if my hair was still red but I was back to normal. My green eyes appeared and my hair was back to it's normal state. The only problem was that I had blood all over my body and that part of my outfit was ripped. I walked in with Ikumi and Clear jumped up and grabbed Ikumi away from me.

"Ikumi! What happened to her?!" Clear started to yell a bit. I crossed my arms and looked away a bit.

"She was trapped at my place but knowing that my place was trashed by Toue, things from there got a little out of hand and bloody." I tried not to go into deeper conversation with it so I left it at that. I started to walk up the stairs.

"I'm going to go shower. I have more stuff to do."

Koujaku knocked on the wall near him and suddenly called over two people to the living room. When I turned around, I see Virus and Trip.

"You want to explain why these two were the ones who brought Clear, we found out about you three in Morphine. You can't run away with just small talk, Echo." Koujaku said. I gave a gulp and then tried walking up the stairs but Mink was in front of me and he grabbed me and carried me over his shoulder.

"Hey!" I started to yell and then he threw me on the couch. Noiz handcuffed my hands and held onto my wrist above my head tightly. Aoba sat on the right side of me and Koujaku sat on the left of me. Mink stayed near the wall and Clear wasn't around so he was busy taking care of Ikumi upstairs. Virus and Trip sat on the other couch and just stared at what was going on. Did they say something about me being part of Morphine? I shot them a glare and they both shrugged their shoulders. Aoba grabbed my chin and Koujaku put his hand on my leg.

"How long were you part of Morphine?" Aoba asked me.

"When you were being Sly Blue, and knew Virus and Trip when you were a bit younger, I even….." I paused at my words and remembered when he kissed me back then and looked away. Koujaku's hand felt through my leg and I had chills go down to my spine. His touch was exciting me but at a wrong time. I can tell Virus had a jealous vibe right now. This was not a fun thing.

"When you were part of Morphine, how come you didn't mention that when we went to save Mizuki?" Koujaku added in while giving my leg a pinch. I winced in pain a bit because of all the hits Tatsuya gave me was still there. But I couldn't tell them that I was fighting with my parents. Noiz even went forward in this and touched me by my breast and my face started to heat up.

"uh….let…let go!" He kept feeling on them and I felt violated.

"All the information about you were pretty true then, remember I'm an information broker, I can get anything out of you. oh? Her boobs feel big." Noiz commented. I got so angry this time and I grabbed Noiz by the wrist even if I was handcuffed and pulled him over to throw him across the room. I even slapped Koujaku and Aoba in the face. Virus and Trip whistled in the back ground and I got frustrated. All Mink did was take a smoke and just mind his own business. Ren came up to me and I looked down at him.

"I apologize that these men are being complete idiots. We didn't think you would be part of Morphine when you have your own gang." He says. I picked him up and pet him.

"It was a long time ago, and I quit being part of Morphine because of my own reasons. I'm a Taikyokuzu leader who—" I paused at my words and pointed at Koujaku, Noiz and even Mink and also Virus and Trip with my finger.

"A better group than all of yours at least. Except my place is in ruins." I said.

I see Aoba rub his head and then crossed his arms.

"You are one crazy woman to be able to go through something a woman shouldn't be doing." He tells me. I looked at him and then sat next to him.

"Well, I wasn't supposed to exist in the first place."

They all looked at me and I gave out a sigh and got up.

"Well, I need a bath. I'm going up." As I said that, I walked away from the group and went upstairs to shower. I knew Virus was eyeing me but I ignored it. I was thinking about my parents for a bit once I closed the bathroom door. I slouched down on the floor and felt like curling up into a ball of what happened recently. My body felt like it was shaking. I started to remember how much I had killed all those guards with such easy motions and felt like I didn't care. I even got to know the fact that my power was ten times more powerful than Aoba's and even Sei's. I started to feel scared and I was already crying. I heard the door open and close but I didn't bother looking.

"Echo.."

When I heard that voice I looked up and see Virus in front of me.

"Why are you crying?" he had this concerned look in his eyes and I looked away.

"It's nothing. Get out of the bathroom." I told him while standing up and about to take my clothes off. When I got naked this time, I noticed he was still in the bathroom with me and I literally just almost punched him in the face but instead he grabs my wrist and holds me in his arms and kissed me on the lips. I tried pushing him off me but he held on to me tighter, he turned on the shower and continued to hold me. He took off his suit and continued to kiss me from my lips, to my cheeks and to my the nape of my neck. He finally got undress and entered the shower still holding on to me.

"You know what I hate the most?" he asked me. I rolled my eyes while he kissed me and he pinched me on the ass.

"I hate it when other men touch you." he says with a bite to my lips. I pushed him off me and started to soap myself up and clean everywhere on my body while he was behind me.

"Be jealous. It's not like I'm going to fuck them. So, take a chill pill." I started to wash my hair after and he pinned me to the wall. While doing that, he entered me without even giving me a chance to say anything. I started to think about Virus and I. I know right now is not the time to do things like this to each other, and the fact that now the group knows about me of used to being part of Morphine, they don't know the whole story to everything, yet. I grabbed onto Virus tighter, and covering my mouth so no one would hear my moans but he bit me really hard to the point it started to blurt out. To talk about romance about this, I knew I was more closer to Virus than Trip. I even started to feel bad about being around Virus more than Trip. Virus and I have similar triats that we share but he was more the go forward type, and I did liked that about him. I couldn't help but dig my nails onto his back when he suddenly put up a faster pace. He even started to moan himself. I wasn't hoping no one was hearing anything that was going on in the bathroom while we were doing this. My thoughts even started to think about Koujaku. That time when we were in the bathroom together, something could of happened. I did kiss him, too. Maybe that's what made Virus more insecure and this is what he is doing to me, so I won't be touched. I knew for a fact I would never be with Koujaku because Virus and even Trip were always on my mind. While giving out my last moan, I started to cry. Virus turned me around and looked at me with one last kiss and he wiped the tears off my cheek and he turned the shower off. I watched as his wet blond hair dripped water, while mine was dripping as well. Virus gave me a hug this time and whispered in my ear.

"I love you, Aya."

I became wide eyed and I watched as he walked out of the shower, grabbing a towel and went out with his clothes. I got out of the shower as well and looked at myself in the mirror, looking at all the bruises and the love marks Virus had given me just a few minutes ago. I love you? He never really said it seriously and this was the first time. My heart started to beat faster and I shook the thought off, knowing that I didn't want a real relationship with anyone, even thought these feelings are strong. I see Virus had left his glasses on the bathroom counter and I started to dry myself with a towel and grab his glasses. I had no extra clothes with me since mine ripped due to the fight I had with Tatsuya. I gave out a huge sigh and walked out to the upstair living room, with just a towel and my hair still being a litle drippy. I see Trip on the edge of the couch, with his arms crossed. He didn't look happy so I tried walking to my side of the room of the hotel, and he followed me. Fuck. Is he going to do something to me as well? Once I quickly walked in, he caught up with me and closed the door behind him while he stared at me.

"If this is about Virus, let's not go there."

"It's not. I already knew his horny ass was going to do that." I looked at him with a weird look and went closer to him, putting my hand on his chest.

"Are you…jealous?" I asked.

Trip put his hands in his pockets and looked away. This was the first I ever saw him so pouty. I started to giggle a bit and than walked over to the bed, removing the towel off my body and dried my hair some more. I crossed my legs and sat there naked while I was drying my hair. I looked at Trip, who continued to look away from me. He was acting weird, too. I know I just had sex with Virus, but the way Trip looked at this moment was a bit adorable. Trip rubbed his head this time and walked over to the closet and threw clothes at my face.

"Put this on, please." he told me.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. This doesn't feel right. I looked at it and realized he gave me a lacey type black dress. It didn't have straps but it was pretty. I looked away for a bit and then stood up and walked over to him. I grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him towards the bed, and went on top of him.

"What's wrong with you?" I said. I let my fingers roam around his face and all he did was look at me. What was going on with him? He wasn't reacting to my touches like he used to. Something was definitely weird with the two of them.

"Trip, did you forget to bring my undergarments?" I asked him with a little glare. He shook his head and then pointed at the drawer. He was being completely obdient for the first time. I got off him and went over to find some and put it on, including the dress. I looked at the mirror and stared at myself. I wasn't the type to wear pretty things, but I decided to wear it. I notice in the reflection of the mirror, I can see Trip getting up and putthing his hands in his pocket. I started to feel a bit concenred with his actions and just slapped him on the face. He looked at me with those puppy eyes of his and I looked at him weirdly.

"Are you okay?" I asked. All he did was just give me a nod. This wasn't helping me. His expression looked…depressed. I wasn't understanding anything. I held him by the face and all he did was walk away from me and then stood at the doorway.

"Were going to infiltrate Toue's favorite hangout spot, heard they are having some sort of ball to celebrate his success. You are the one that is invited to this event and we have to bring you along." He told me. I crossed my arms.

"Trip, listen to me. If something is actually really troubling you, tell me. This is not you at all." I told him with concern in my voice. All he did was look at me with those light blue eyes of his and walked over to me. He gave me a hug this time and held me really tight.

"I'm just worried because I love you. That's all. Come on. Virus, you and I will go there on our own. I want you to act like you are going to be part of Morphine, again. You want to assasinate Tour for everything, right? Let's go." He let go of me and walked out the door. I just stood there and felt really confused as if my head was going in circles. Both Virus and Trip were acting like someone else. My felt my chest for a second and looked at the mirror in front of me. Was something going to happen? I pull my hair up into a pony tail and put on the accessories that were left on the drawer and headed out of the room. Once I walked out, I see the door open in the next room and I took a look inside. I see Clear sitting by Ikumi's side, holding her hand, and wiping away marks that was on her skin. I noticed that Ikumi was awake and she was speaking to Clear. She was no longer in a paralyze state, and I bet Clear had a way to take care of that. Clear was a robot, and Ikumi was his girlfriend. I watched as Clear gave her a kiss on the forehead and see her smiling. I smiled a little and just noticed how much love a man can give to the woman he is with. My side of the story, it was plain difficult. I had two men that would think they own me, use me and destroy me. But knowing that it seems a bit different now, I wonder how can I really handle that. I felt like I wasn't loyal to one guy. That wasn't right. I was questioning myself and I hear someone footsteps. I slowly closed the door to their room and looked at the person near me. Koujaku just stared at me with those handsome red eyes of his.

"You look beautiful as an actual woman." He commented on how I looked. Everything was happening so fast and I wasn't sure if all these small smiles will ever continue. I looked at the childhood friend in front of me, and wondered to myself if I never met Virus and Trip, maybe I would devote my love to him. Virus and Trip had said they loved me, but I wasn't sure if that was a joke.

"Thanks. Were going to do some Morphine business at this point, and I need to act like I'm back at Morphine, just to get back at Toue." I told him.

Koujaku looked at me and just stared quietly. I wanted him to say something but we just stood in front of each other in silence. I looked to the floor and I hear him step closer to me.

"Are you in love with those two?" He asked. My heart skipped a beat suddenly and I didn't know what to answer. I was going through a lot and when it came to relationships, I didn't know what to do. I wasn't good at this.

"That's a sudden question to ask."

"It isn't. I want to know."

"I'm not with anyone."

"So, then why can't you look at me in the face when you say that. I know you did it with Virus in the shower just a few minutes ago."

I froze where I stood and my mind was now lost. I couldn't just say he was just using my body to just get his needs, or maybe it was like that. I feel his hand on my wrist and stepped back. I had the vision of myself giving Koujaku a kiss on that day but I knew I didn't mean it. I continued to look down at the floor and all Koujaku did was give out a sigh and walk away from me with small words.

"If you are going out, please becareful."

I heard him close the door to the room he was staying in and slowly walked downstairs. I don't know why but I felt like crying. What did I want? I didn't want to think about feelings or love. It wasn't important, and I can't do nothing. I noticed Virus and Trip waiting at the entrance and Aoba and the others were probably in their rooms.

"Did you guys let them know?" I asked them. Both Virus and Trip nodded and just opened the door. Everything was now feeling awkward. I stepped outside of Glitter and we see one of their cars outside.

"Get inside, Echo." Trip said, while opening the door for me. I went in and sat in the middle of the car, looking at my hands. Virus and Trip had sat on both sides of me. While the car drove, it was very quiet between us three. Virus and Trip usually would give some sort of action or talk about anything but this atmosphere was totally different. I started to think all sort of things, and even thought if they were both mad about something. I looked at Virus who looked through his coil, reading his emails and news that he usually would go through. I even looked at Trip, who just looked out the window, minding his own business. All I could do was just sit here and think. I had my coil with me but I had nothing to do with it at this point. My only plan right now was to do my job, but as a Morphine member, even though I'm a leader of my own clan. I couldn't leave things behind. Everything that happened so far, Taikyokuzu was not going down in flames. I will not let Toue do any more of his destruction anywhere else. I thought about my parents and hope they got to the small house safely. I also hope that Ragna had brought Mizuki and his family safe somewhere. I looked straight forward to where we were being lead to and waited until we arrived, but I ended up falling asleep.

Couple hours later~

"Was this the right thing to do, Virus?" I hear Trip's voice.

"I don't like it, but in order for her to fight someone, this is what we need to do. Haruki even said it herself." I hear Virus speaking."

"Oh. Were here." Trip had said. I feel myself being shaken lightly and I started to open my eyes. When I looked around, I noticed I was on a private jet plane. I rubbed my eyes and just looked around. Virus and Trip had let out their hands and they pulled me up from my seat.

"Where are..we?" I asked them.

"Sorry we didn't tell you, but we are in Germany right now." Trip mentions.

"WAIT! WHAT?!" I exclaimed. I ran out of the plane and noticed that I was not in Midorijima right now. I was wide eyed and looked around. A man came up to me, giving me a jacket and tried to pamper me with manners. I kept shaking my head that I didn't need help. Virus and Trip wrapped an arm around my arms and we headed out to a place that looked so big. The place looked like some sort of castle.

"Virus. Trip. I want to go home." I told them.

"You said it yourself, you would do anything to get to Toue. This is it." Virus says.

Once we stepped inside, there were so many people in rich looking outfits and people who were not even japanese. There were diffferent races all around. Loud music played around (if anything, the music was playing "Puppeteer" from MAX). I can see dancers on stage, party poppers going every where. People playing poker, pole, black jack and all these different games. I looked up to the ceiling to see acrobats performing above the people around us. What bothered me the most was when the people around us looked at me. Yes, me. I should be used to this vibe but this was something way different from my comfort zone. I noticed Trip and Virus's grip was tightening my arm.

"Hey, guys. This hurts a little, can you loosen your grips?" I asked them.

But they didn't say a word. All they did was pay attention to what's in front of them. On stage I noticed Sei was sitting on a chair.

"Sei…" I said quietly.

There was a big crowd around and I also saw someone else on stage sitting next to him as if he was some king. The man was in a white suit, he had white hair that was a bit spiky, red eyes and he was tall. He gave a smile to people all around him and started to clap his hands. Virus and Trip gripped to me tighter and I was wondering what the hell was their problem.

"Welcome beautiful people! Thank you for coming to our greatest event to celebrate how glorious our Sei has been doing to concur the world with such great power. I thank Toue for doing all that he can to make this a success!" The man raised his hand in the air, and the crowd was giving claps and screams of excitement. I noticed something that they were being controlled. I kicked both Virus and Trip in the ass lightly and they let go off me. I could sense that this wasn't right to do.

-This is a danger zone, Echo-

The voice inside my head warned me out of nowhere.

"What do you mean?" I asked, within my conscienceness.

-This man is one of the people that you have to kill-

I looked at the guy and all of a sudden I see him giving me eye contact. He gave me one of the most terrifying grins.

"Well. Well. Well. My favorite guest has arrived." He said out loudly and then pointed at me.

Sei stood up suddenly and was shocked.

"Echo!" he yelled out.

The whole crowd around me looked at me and gave our little commotions to each other. The man stepped down from the stage and walked towards me. There were even gaurds coming at the three of us and two of them blocked Virus and Trip's path. The man in the white suit looked at me up and down and licked his lips, and grabbed my by the wrist. He touched my hair and brought something out of his pocket and put a chain necklace around my neck with a chain leash.

"You turned out to be beautiful. How exciting.." He says. I tried to push him away but instead he lifted me up and carried me.

"Echo!" Virus yelled out.

"Hey! Get out of our way." Trip yelled out as well. I tried to shake the guy off me and then he looked at me then out to the crowd.

"My dear queen has finally arrived. My bride to be."

The crowd gave out cheers and started to celebrate out of nowhere. What was going on? I looked at Virus and Trip who was being pushed around by the gaurds. Sei even looked shocked. the party had continued and I was still in this guys arms and we entered a private room. He dropped me on the floor, and closed the door behind him. Once he was busy doing that, I kicked him with my heel and backed away from him, but I forgot I was stuck with a chain leash and he pulled me towards him. My neck was then grabbed by his hand, and the other hand was tightly holding onto my waist.

"You should remember me somehow." His red eyes stared at me. He began to caress my leg a little bit, giggling at the same time. He throws me on the couch and sit on my lap, caress my face.

"I didn't think this little girl will grow up to be alive and sexy looking."

"Who the fuck are you?!" I pushed him off me but he grabbed me and faced my chest on to the edge of the couch, pinning me hard. His voice ranged in my ear and whispered like he was whispering into my soul.

"Remember the name, little princess. I'm your worst nightmare. The worst nightmare, who made you lose your first life to be normal. The name you will remember dearly is, Jiro."

He started to unzip my dress and kiss me behind my back, I didn't like the feeling and I tried to kicking him again. But then an anouncement came through the room and asked for him. He stopped what he was doing and fixed his suit.

"I guess I'll continue my touches later. Go have some fun." He walked out the door, and I took the chain off my neck. The private door suddenly opened and I see Virus and Trip run inside. Trip had immediately held me in his arms in an embrace.

"Did he do anything to you?!" He held onto me tighter and I was wide eyed. Were they worried?

"I—I'm fine. He touched me a bit."

"What?! I'm going to fucking kill him!" Trip yelled.

"Hey! Hey calm down!" Virus told him and Trip grabbed Virus but his collar and pinned him to the wall.

"You don't fucking tell me what to do?! Did you even hear what that asshole had said?! He touched her as well!" Trip yelled towards Virus.

Virus pushed him off him and fixed his collar. Trip backed away slowly and then listened to Virus.

"What can we do except follow stupid orders, if we do anything to ruined whatever is going to happen, they will kill Tatsuya and Haruki. I don't want to risk that." Virus mentions.

"Wait..kill my parents?" I asked. Virus and Trip looked at me with concern.

"You know them?"

"Uh…yeah. I met up with them…that explains the bruises I had on me." I said quietly. Trip kneeled down to me and touched my cheek.

"I promise you, we are going to get you our of this. I'm not going to let your parents die."

"And when did you both start caring?"

"A change of heart." Virus ends everything with those words. I looked at the both of them and watched as Virus walked out the door. Virus was acting more distant and I see Trip just sit on the couch bringing me next to him.

"I don't want you to go through this, but…everything is a deep mess." he tells me. I look at him. They both had a change of heart but I wasn't processing that in my head. I've known these two for awhile and now their personality wasn't the same as before. I felt like something distant had become between them as well. Trip looked at me, touching my cheek again and I felt his hand, looking deep in his eyes.

"I mean't my words when I said I love you, Echo. I regret the things I have done to you before. I am still an asshole, compared to Virus. I just feel left out."

"What do you mean?"

"The both of you and Virus make a great couple, and have been together more recently instead of me being with you."

I let go of his hand and stood in front of him. What were these words that was coming out of his mouth right now.

"I don't make a great couple with anyone, Trip. You know that." I told him.

He started to put his hands on his face and he started to tear.

"We can't lose you, Echo. That's what I'm scared about. That power is going to kill you. This is also the reason why I've been acting different because I know that my heart should be yours, and I want to make sure you live."

I stood there and looked at him. He held my hand and kissed it and looked at me.

"That man will destroy you for good."

I shook my head and kneeled down and touched his face.

"Not for this woman. I'm going to promise you that. If this power kills me, I need to have your child first."

Trip looked at me and I just instantly kiss him on the lips and walked out. It took the hair tie out of my hair and walked out to the stage. There was a guard blocking my path and I punched him in the gut and kills him with a knife he had in his pocket. I took his machine gun and walked out on the stage while all the people were out there having their fun. Sei saw me and was about to walk up to me but I gave out the shots. Everyone shut up around me and I looked around me, and see a certain mirror up in the ceiling and looked at it. My hair had turned red and my eyes went red. I looked around me and jumped off the stage and looked around the crowd.

"Echo..what are you—" I hear Sei behind me about to talk but I shot out more bullets in the air. The crowd started to scream, and I see some people pointing out their gun towards me. Some even had weapons in their hands. I dropped the gun and raised both my hands in the hair. The vibration in my head started to ring in my brain. I had to let loose.

-Kill…them all with everything you got-

"My pleasure." I felt a smile form in my lips and I turned around to Sei and signal to cover your ears and eyes to make sure he didn't see this. I look towards everyone around me, and snapped my fingers. All the people around me tried to attack me. Some even dropped their weapons and I was ripping heads, slicing them with swords, choking some with chains, using their own guns to shoot them, all the things you can think of while decapitating a person life. I twirled my fingers in the air and all the people around me started following my orders and started to kill themselves and I didn't have to do anything at this point. I can hear myself laughing at all this bloodshed around me and I couldn't help but feel happy. I was losing my humanity like this and I knew I wasn't supposed to let this side of me out. All around me I can hear different voices screaming and yelling in agony.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" I kept on laughing and enjoyed the sight. There was a man who was afraid to hurt me and he raised his little sword towards me. I looked at him with fright and I took the knife away from him and cut both his hands off and laughed while he cried.

"DO YOU SEE THAT?! NO MORE HANDS!" I told him.

I can see myself stabbing the shit out of the guy with the most happiest smile on my face like I was so used to this. I stood up finally and walked in the center, and see everyone around me all dead. I dropped the knife and felt my head this time, feeling pain. A vision had popped up and I can see Jiro in my sight somewhere and I found his location. I shook the thought off and see Virus and Trip in front of me, holding both my shoulders, and looked up to the mirror ceiling and noticed my hair was turning back to it's normal color and I kneeled down.

"Oh my god….what…what have I become?"

Trip covered his mouth as if he was about to throw up and Virus looked at me with concern.

"It's becoming worst, Echo." Virus says.

I see Sei walking towards me and he looked really scared.

"Echo….don't do that again..please don't do that again."

Everyone around me was shown with blood, like it did at my mansion. I sensed that Jiro had escaped and figured out he had ran away. Sei gave took off the coat that was around him and put it around me. My body was shaking and Virus took out a bomb out of his coat and started it up.

"We gotta get out of here, or else were going to be caught."

"Yea. Let's go back to Midorijima. Forget you being someone's bride." Trip said. Sei nodded and held onto me and we all ran out. We got into the jet plane and we all sat there in silence.

"I didn't think the plan would ever come to that, the plan was for Echo to go with Jiro. But he ran away." Virus says.

"This made Echo use her power." Sei mentions.

I was sitting by Trip and he had one of his arms holding onto me. He patted my head and kissed me on the forehead.

"Everything is going to be alright, it's not over yet."

I looked down to my shoes and then looked at Virus who had jealousy in his eyes. I lay my head on Trip's shoulder and just closed my eyes. That wasn't me back there. I'm so scared.

-Back at Midorijima, two years had passed.-

For the past days, things started to feel normal for once. Toue and Jiro haven't tried to do anything. Virus and Trip had taken Echo away from Midorijima for awhile, just to get away from it all. But not only did they did that, Echo had lost contact with everyone at home. Even her own parents. Echo thought it would be best to be away from everyone and try to control the power she had but everything that had happened, continued to grow stronger. Virus and Trip had build a home for the three of them, and made sure they had some of their Morphine gaurds to fix up the place and protect it. Echo had contacted some of Taikyokuzu to recreate their mansion but in a different location. She didn't want anyone to be hurt again. Morphine and Taikyokuzu had formed together as a clan to protect Echo's friends and family away from Toue's crazy projects or money making plans. But Echo's heart and mind was hurting because that power of her was lusting for destruction and she couldn't do anything. She wanted to finish off Jiro and Toue for good once she had the strength to get back on her feet and be strong again, but something else had got in the way.

"You think you can win over Echo, can you?"

"Virus, not right now, alright? I'm getting a headache."

Virus and Trip were in a room, and sat around quietly. Virus came up to Trip and punched him in the face. Trip felt his cheek but then punched Virus back.

"I love Echo! You think I will be fine on what she has to go through?! You know she has a job to finish, thanks to her being all I can kill off everyone and get my revenge. YOU THINK I'M OKAY WITH WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO?! NO!" Trip yell out to him. Virus punched Trip again, and all they both can do was punch each other up.

"Shut up! I feel the same towards her, but you don't have to go on and think you already got her." Virus yelled back.

Virus and Trip held each other by their collars.

"At least I gave her the sex she needs"

"Sure, with that small dick you have, I can do better!"

They continued to fight each other, and then saying the most stupidest thing to each other right after until Echo busted inside the room with something in her hand. Virus and Trip finally stopped.

"WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW?! YOU FUCKED UP EVERYTHING YOU JERKS!"

"Echo.." Virus said.

"Oh fuck…"Trip said.

"Can I kill them?"

"Them?" They both said.

She threw the paper at their feet and Virus slowly picked it up and was wide eyed. Trip had the same reaction.

"Twins?" Virus says.

"Boys?" Trip mentions.

Echo rubbed her head and she picked up a tv near by and threw it at them but they both dogde it and she had little tears come out of her eyes.

"I'M PREGANT!"

Now how the hell was she going to finish what she was going to do!

stay tuned for next chapter!
