Chapter 11: Killed living
A/N: thank you for the review morial otaku! Yes, it is a magical bathroom! That's why Tobi can't escape... And also because the castle has been protected against bad energies, so nothing can escape or enter... Except Tobi's good side...
And Ichibi is alive! Don't panic! She's fine!
No, Kisame will not become sushi because I hate sushi.
Again, enjoy and review!
Luna continued to scream at the top of her lungs. Wolfey, Akuto, Momo, Karo and Sebastian ran upstairs to see.
Ichibi was awake!
Akiri wasn't able to hear Luna's screaming because she was in a dream trance. Umbra tried his best to wake her up, but then gave up and pinned himself to the bed. Twit.
"OH MY GOD! SHE IS!" Karo barked, flabbergasted.
"Does she even remember anything? She looks stupid." Akuto pointed out. Ichibi's eyes stared off and drool trickled from her chin.
"She dislecsic?" Sebastian asked.
"Not that I know..." Luna mumbled.
"Are you sure you fixed her peanut, Sakura?" Momo questioned. She was busy with a glass of cherry.
Sakura nodded. "She could have become a zombie..." Luna trailed off, backing away.
"Zombie?!" Wolfey yapped, jumping back.
"Impossible!" Akuto barked and pressed her hand to Ichibi's temple. "She feels perfectly fine!"
"She looks dumb." Sasuke pointed out.
Ichibi snapped out of it and glomped Sasuke. "OMG!" She squeaked.
Eyes widened. Ichibi sat up, staring around. "Git off meh..." Sasuke muttered.
"What happened?" Akuto asked. "Did you see a bright light?!" She grabbed Ichibi by her shoulders and shook her like a ragdoll.
Ichibi's head lolled back and forth until Akuto was forced, by Luna with a pencil, to stop. "Whee..." Ichibi's eyes rolled wildly.
Momo slapped Ichibi. "What did you see?" She questioned.
Ichibi pondered. "Well, I did see a bright light... Then I heard bells... Then I was on some fluffy stuff... Then some dude comes up to me and says: 'its not your time yet.' And then I wake up here..."
Wolfey turned to Luna. "You've been out for a week!" Akuto barked.
Ichibi stared at Akuto in confusion. "O...key?" She looked around. "Where's Kiki?"
As if on cue, there was a heart breaking scream from Akiri's room. Everyone ran upstairs, Sebastian at the tollie front. Sebastian ran the door over and skidded to a halt.
Wolfey and Karo followed afterwards and froze. Umbra had dived off the bed in an attempt to save himself from Akiri's thrashing arms.
She was having a nightmare.
"Wait!" Luna hissed, holding Akuto back. Akiri stopped screaming and stared wide eyed at the roof.
"Move." Kisame ordered and brushed past everyone. Dante dove in front of the shark. "What the-? Move!"
"I can't let you touch her, fish-fry." Dante sneered.
"Elp meh..." Umbra whined, hanging off the bed. Akiri had a tight grip on his ankle.
"Move, asshole!" Kisame growled, glaring at Dante with his beady eyes.
"Make me." Dante snarled, removing his two pistols and pointing them at Kisame.
Karo's eyes widened and she panicked. "W-wolfey!" She shouted, grabbing wolfeys arm.
Sebastian stepped forward. "What the hell is your problem?" He questioned Dante. Dante didn't reply, he just glared intently at Kisame. "I fucking asked you a question, Dante!" Sebastian bellowed.
Luna wanted to reach out and run over to Akiri, but she didn't. "Nobody touch her! Don't even wake her!" She cried, face twisted in pain.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Akuto howled, glaring at Luna.
Toriko tried to enter the room. "She needs to snap out of it! We need to-"
"NO!" Luna barked. She stepped forward, threw her arms out and turned to face everyone else.
"Luna?!" Momo shouted, eyes widened. "Not you too!"
Karo fiddled. "We need to wake her up." She said.
"No." Luna said, turning to Karo. "She needs to wake up on her own."
"Look at her, Luna!" Kakashi bellowed, pointing at Akiri.
Luna's eyes turned down. "I know... I want to wake her up too... But..." She trailed off.
"No one touches her." Dante finished. Akiri screamed again.
Wolfey looked desperate. "What the hell is wrong with her?!" She cried.
Luna turned to look at Akiri. She then sighed. "She's seeing the past." Luna declared.
"How would you know?" Coco questioned.
"Yeah, I'd like to know that too." Momo said, finishing the half glass of cherry in her hand.
"Don't overdo it, Momo." Ichibi sighed.
"Yeah, whatev-shlurrr..." Momo passed out.
Umbra screamed suddenly. All attention returned to him. Akiri had tightened her grip on Umbra's ankle.
"Go help him." Dante said to Luna. Luna nodded and removed Akiri's fingers from Umbra's ankle.
"Stay put." She ordered when Umbra sat on the floor, staring at Akiri. Luna then returned to her original spot. "This..." She trailed off, looking at everyone. "Will take a while."
"Get out." Dante ordered. Akiri screamed.
"I don't think so." Sebastian snarled. Dante pointed one of his guns at Sexy Eyes.
"Don't make me shoot you. I don't think Pinkie there has enough chakra to fix your fucking head." Dante sneered. Sakura blushed slightly. "Get out." Dante ordered again.
Sakura dissapeared out of the room, dragging Ichibi and fast asleep Momo along. Sani backed out with Komatsu, Tobi and Toriko. "Get out." Luna resounded Dante's order.
Wolfey panicked and grabbed Karo, dragging her downstairs. Karo grabbed Naruto on the way out. Itachi, Kisame, Coco, Akuto, Sebastian and Kakashi were the only ones refusing to back off. Akiri continued to cry out in pain.
Sebastian stared down the barrel of the gun rigged at his face. Luna looked to Dante. They nodded at each other in silent aggreement and then lunged. Luna took out Akuto, Coco and Itachi and Dante took out Sebastian, Kakashi and Kisame. "I'll deal with you later..." He whispered in Sebastian's ear.
Luna helped drag the unconcious men out the room and locked the door. "Now we wait?" She asked.
Dante nodded and leaned against the wall. Umbra blushed and massaged his ankle. Apparently he didn't quite enjoy company. Akiri continued to cry out in pain for at least an hour before everything went silent.
Luna looked up from the book she was reading to check on Akiri. She grunted sleepily and sat up, looking around.
"What happened?" Akiri asked.
"KIKI?! ARE YOU OKAY?!" Karo called from behind the door.
Dante stared at Akiri. "What did you see?" He questioned. Akiri's eyes snapped to his.
"Ferda." Was all she said before standing up and leaving the room. Umbra was way too scared to follow her, so he latched himself onto Dante. Why? God knows. Dante stared at Umbra for a few seconds. Umbra blushed slightly. Dante then went downstairs, followed by Luna and a rabble of questions.
"What the hell happened?!" Kisame bellowed.
"Akiri!" Dante barked. He found her in the kitchen, making herself coffee. "Ferda, right? The girl you only had a slight sliver of dream about?" He questioned. Akiri nodded.
Umbra whined slightly. Dante's voice was rougher than Akiri's slightly delicate tone. He flinched every time Dante shouted. "This time... This time..." Akiri trailed off.
Dante sat down on one of the chairs, patting his lap. Umbra stared at him for a few seconds before his brain comprehended. He blushed and slowly sat down on Dante's knee, back facing the white haired man. Karo rubbed her eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing.
"This time..." Akiri's hands shook. "I felt like I was that girl... Ferda..." Her voice was soft. "She... She showed me what she went through..."
"Yes?" Dante turned to Akiri after she paused for too long.
"There was a war." Akiri stared off. "Her side won... The good side... But..."
Wolfey cocked her head to the side. Everyone stood at the door, listening and wondering what the hell Akiri was talking about. Luna leaned against the table, her full attention to Akiri.
"She changed." Akiri finished. "Her soul was different..."
Luna got something. "Karo, my room, black bookshelf, bottom shelf, the first red book from the right." She ordered.
Karo yipped and ran upstairs to find the requested book. "What do you need a book for?" Ichibi asked, cocking her head to the side like Wolfey.
"I've heard that story, better yet..." Luna's gaze never left the wall. "Read about it."
"Medieval Stories-" Dante started.
"Ferda?" Karo questioned as she walked into the kitchen and handed Luna the slim novel.
"By an unknown author." Luna sighed. Akiri sat down at the table. "You mind if I read this aloud?" Luna asked to Akiri.
Akiri nodded. "Go ahead." She said.
"Let's go to the living room then." Luna huffed, leaving the kitchen.
Everyoned followed her and sat on the couches. Thank whoever that Akiri had organized more couches.
"Medieval Stories: Ferda..." Luna started, opening the book. "I wish they'd make a movie about this." She sighed.
Tobi was slap happy and excited. "Yay! Story time! Tobi likes stories!" Akuto whacked him upside the head.
Luna began reading. Akiri leaned her head back on the couch after placing her coffee on the table. Dante let Umbra sit between his legs. Sebastian glared at the scene, jealous, but confused at his jealousy.
"'There's a man without.' Called one of the gate guards from atop the watchtower looking down to the castle gate. 'Inform his Majesty!' He ordered.
Another guard nodded and dashed away to the throne room. The hallways were decorated with beautiful tapestries of fantasy creatured. The guard knocked on the door to the throne room. He heard arguing coming from inside the throne room.
'Kill him!' A woman yelled. 'Kill him now!'
'My liege! I plead for mercy!' A man cried. The guard opened the door slightly to peak in. The leutenant of the guard stood behind a man in chains, tears streamed down his face. The king stared at him from atop his throne, thinking.
'Sir, if you won't kill him, then-'
'Silence, Leutenant!' The leutenant stared in disbelief at the king. He stood up and paced back and forth, still deep in thought. 'He may be a criminal, but yet, do you have proof that it was he who murdered Jeremy, Ferda?' The leutenant's breath hitched and she stared in disbelief at the king. 'This man doesn't have that look in his eyes.'
'Sir! I found him leaning over Jeremy's body!'
'Does that mean he did it? He could have walked by, found him dead and then tried to examine him.'
Ferda stared at the king, unable to speak or breathe. She sighed, turned around and walked out of the throne room. The guard jumped out of the way. Ferda closed the huge doors and stormed off to her quarters. Her eyes were half glazed over and dull as she walked on deep in thought, she didn't even notice anyone. Ferda felt a slight bump and stopped.
'Oh! Leutenant! I-i'm so sorry!' Gerald, the librarian squeaked. Ferda turned and looked at him. He was crouched low on his knee.
She thought for a few moments while staring at the young man. 'Come with me.' Ferda said and walked on. Gerald stood up and followed behind, confused. The guard followed them. He caught another guard and relayed the message to the king before following Ferda and Gerald to the library.
The huge wooden doors closed just as he rounded the corner. He cursed softly and then pressed his ear to the wood.
'The guards say there's someone outside.' Gerald said. The guard peeked through the keyhole. Ferda was seated on one of the chairs while Gerald restacked some books.
'Any idea who it is?' Ferda questioned. Gerald shook his head.
The guard left, remembering that he had to return to his post."
"What has this guard got to do with Ferda?" Akuto questioned.
Luna glared at Akuto for interrupting her. "Can I continue?"
NOPE! You'll have to wait till chapter 12 to hear or read the rest of the story. Its a short book, only like fifteen pages... But no ja. I hope you enjoyed and review for chapter 12!
