Me: Back again! I have an important notice! This is part one of the new seriese I'm working on. So there will be a continuation on this one. The disclaimer is the same as usual. Enjoy ^-^
Rin: I am ashamed with myself
Me: You should be
Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
Sealed with lies through so many tears
Lost from within, pursuing the end
I fight for the chance to be lied to again
- Lies by Evanescence
"Rin! Rin, where are you! Rin!" Elecktra called out, hoping to spot a head of white hair in the park, but much to her dismay, there was no one with white hair in sight. Well, besides Bakura.
"Isuzu Bakura, where are you?!" Anzu called out, fear and panic begining to rise in her voice. Marik came out from the other end of the park and shook his head, a discourgaed look on his face. "She's not here."
"Then where on earth could she be?" Anzu moaned, leaning on Bakura for support. Even Bakura had a stressed look on his face. A missing child was nothing to joke about, but where could their daughter be? Elecktra went over to a bench near the pond, spotting something shinning on the ground. Picking it up, she noticed it was a Yang pendent, the same one Rin had!
"Bakura, Anzu, Marik! I found something!" She called out. The others came over and looked at the pendent in her hand. Anzu gave a sigh of relief. "Isuzu was here. Thank god. But where did she go?"
Marik shrugged. "Maybe she left with someone?"
Anzu nodded at the idea, finding it plausible. "Maybe, but who? All our other friends have no idea where she went."
None of them had an answer to Anzu's question, so they hopped into their cars and drove home back to Akio and Amba. Both children were waiting for them on the porch, concerned looks on their faces. Akio rushed over to them. "Did you find her? Is she okay?"
Bakura shook his head. "No Akio, we don't have her. She's gone."
Akio felt tears spring to his eyes. "This is all my fualt. I...I shouldn't have said those things. I feel so stupid now."
Amba glanced at him. "You should be."
Elecktra glared at her daughter in disapproval. "Amba! That wasn't nice to say! Apologize!"
Amba looked defiantly at her mother. "But it's true! If they hadn't gotten in that stupid fight, we wouldn't be in this mess."
Akio turned to his friend, a look of anger spreading across his face. "Shut your face Amba, you're not perfect."
"Akio!" Anzu scolded. Marik got in between the two children with a no nonsense look on his face. "Enough you two, now is not the time to be arguing. We need to find Rin."
Akio and Amba glanced at each other, then followed their parents inside. Anzu sat on the couch, pressing her hands on her face. Akio sat down next to her, comforting her. "It's okay Mom, we'll find her."
Anzu smiled wearily at him. "I know, but I have this awful feeling that something bad is going to happen."
Bakura snorted. "More than likely, it will." Elecktra whacked Bakura on the head and went to sit next to Anzu on the opposite side. She wrapped an arm around her friend. "It's okay Anzu, calm down."
Marik looked outside the window and paled. "Uh guys, now is not the time to calm down."
Everyone in the room raised their eyebrows. Marik pointed out the window, indicating a dragon with flamming wings heading towards town. Everyone's jaw dropped and they hurried to the car. Before Akio got in, Elecktra handed him something. "Here," She said, "We found this in the park, it belongs to Rin, but for now, it belongs to you."
Akio nodded, taking the pendent and putting it around his neck. "Thanks E."
"No prob."
"So this is where you got the power?"
Rin was being led by Hidenori through a tent that was pitch black inside, except for the tiny spots of sunlight seeping through. Hidenori smiled back at her and fished something out of his pocket. "Yes. Only not in a circus of course."
Rin smiled. "Of course."
Hidenori pulled up a chair and Rin sat down in it. Hidenori stood a few spaces away, but Rin could feel a tense atomosphere in the air. It felt...hazy and disoriented. Hidenori began to speak. "Rin, do you remember the day your parents first discovered your powers?"
Rin nodded. "Of course! They...they...called me a freak." She finished, her voice trailing off as a memory embedded in her head. Hidenori smiled cruely. His hypnosis was working.
Flashback...
"Mommy, Daddy, I have something to tell you."
Rin's parets looked down to see Rin standing in front of them, a doubtful look on her face. Anzu smiled at her. "What is it Rin?"
Rin looked at her parents. "Please don't be mad, but I...I have powers."
Akio laughed, along with Bakura. Anzu ruffled her daughters hair. "Don't be silly dear, you don't have powers."
Rin shook her mothers hand away and looked at her. "I can read the future. You're going to make cake tomorrow!" Anzu frowned and stared at her daughter, a strange look forming in her eyes.
"H...How did you know that?"
Rin turned to her father. "And Daddy, you're taking me and Akio to the park tomorrow." Bakura frowned and backed away from her, as did Akio and Anzu. Rin frowned and clutched her hands. "Please don't be mad at me! I need you both!" She grabbed her mothers hand, but then Anzu slapped her in the face, sending the girl crashing to the floor.
"G...Get away from me! You...you...you FREAK!" Anzu said, all of them staring at Rin in disgust. Rin felt tears well up in her eyes and she began to sob as her family rushed out of the room.
"They...they called me a freak and didn't think anything of it!" Rin called out, a horrified look on her face as she remembered the memory. Hidenori gave a sad face. "You poor thing. They had no right to call you that."
"No! They didn't! But why!" Rin said, a tear rolling down her face. Hidenori sighed. "Because the world is evil. People with powers are shunned and hated," He paused for a moment, then another smile appeared on his face. "Do you remember when you wanted to play with your brother and Amba?"
Flashback...
"Akio! Amba! Wait for me! I want to play too!" Rin called out, her white hair flying behind her. Akio and Amba turned to her, a look of sheer disgust on their faces. Akio shoved her away as she came closer to him.
"Get away you freak! We don't want you!"
Amba sneered at her. "Who would want to play with a freak like you? Let's go Akio!" The both ran off laughing, leaving Rin alone on the ground, crying yet again.
"They...they were so mean to me! Just because I had powers!" Rin gasped, more tears rolling down her face.
"Do you also remember that time you found your parents and Elecktra talking in the kitchen?"
Flashback...
Rin stood in front of the kitchen door way, the door was open a jar and she could see her parents talking to Elecktra. Anzu ran a hand through her head and began to speak. "I honestly have no idea what to do with her. She's just so...weird!"
Elecktra placed a hand on her friends shoulder. "I agree. Amba and Akio are the only normal ones. She should just disapear."
Anzu nodded and sighed. "The only thing I regret in my whole life, is having that THING come out of me."
Rin felt her heart break and she murmured to herself. "Mama, Papa, please don't hate me." Bakura noticed her standing in the door way and grabbed her by her hair, yanking her into the kitchen. Her cries and screams could be heard through out the house. She stared at her mother and E as they smiled and watched Bakura beat the crap out of her.
"WHY! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME? AM I REALLY A FREAK?" Rin screamed out, sobs wracking her whole body and tears rolling uncontrolably down her face. Hidenori placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Shhhhhh, there there, it's alright now. They were horrible people."
Rin nodded. "I..I wish...I wish they could all die."
"You can punish them."
Rin looked at him, tears in her eyes. "I can?"
He nodded. "You can. All you have to do is join the circus, and I can give you the power of destruction." Rin looked doubtful for a moment. "I don't know, what if it doesn't work?"
"Do you remember the time they left you at home?"
Flashback...
"Akio, hurry up! We're going out to your birthday dinner!" Anzu called from the stairs. Rin came forward, a timid look on her face. "Can I go Mama? It's my birthday too."
Anzu looked at her in disgust. "We only have one child and that is Akio. Now get away from me you bitch!"
Rin backed away as Anzu walked out the door. Akio passed her as he was heading down the stairs. He gave her a sympathetic look. "Rin, I'm sorry."
"Really?" Rin asked, hope rising in her chest. Akio nodded and placed his hands on her shoulders. "I have a birthday present for you." With that, he pushed Rin down the stairs, the back of her head hitting the edge of the stairs and as she fell, she felt her bones crack and blood rush from her head. Akio gingerly stepped around the blood and smiled at her. "You're pathetic. No one wants you, so get out of our way. No one loves or wants you."
He laughed as he walked out of the house, leaving Rin alone on the ground.
Rin looked at Hidenori and she fell to the ground, tears falling off her face. She looked up at him, her eyes pleading. "H..Help me! Please!"
Hidenori smiled at her and took her hand. "Of course I will help you Rin. I'm the only one in the world who loves you. Accept the power."
Rin stared at him. "I accept."
You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceuived in love
You will not rise above
