Chapter 12
" Excuse me? What did you say?" Soubi was completely thrown. Granted, he'd had his suspicions, but he had never dreamed of it. He glanced at Ritsuka's fading body. Was it even possible?
" Master has Beloved."
" Beloved is dead." He reasoned. They shook their heads, " Seimei..." they shook their heads again.
" Beloveed has returned."
" Who is your master?" Silence
" Why won't you answer?"
" We... Don't know." They hung their heads in shame. The glanced towards the trees. Soubi took no notice.
" What do you mean, you don't know.' Soubi's temper was rising. Any more evasions and he would lose it.
" We have never seen him, only listens to the commands he gives." The boy explained. The girl cowered behind her brother. A tick began in Soubi's jaw. Another fifteen minutes of Ritsuka's life was wasted, he had no time. Then a thought struck him.
" Where is your haven/" Soubi was confused when a streak of genuine fear \ran through their face. They were so pale, they were almost transluscent. They took several steps back, shaking their heads.
" We do not know," They very nearly tripped over a small root sticking up from the ground. " Don't make us go back." They gasped. Now it was over. They let themselves slip. Without any provocation, they took another glanced towards the trees, then bolted away.
"Hey, wait!!!" Soubi, took off in the direction of Endless, unaware of the figure hiding in the trees.
---
" Heh, heh. How very interesting. so that's how it was going to be is it." The figure stared in thye direction of Ristuka's mostly naked, beaten and ravaged body. He had been nailed to the wall in a crucified pose. His head hung against the rope holding him painfully up.
" Sir, what do you want to do. Shall I destroy the Endless?"
" No."
" Sir?"
" Do nothing. How about we see where they will lead our friend, shall we?"
" SOUBI!!!!!!!!!!" He turned to see Ritsuka's body thrash against his ties. It seemed that he was reacting to his ousia and Soubi's mind. He sauntered towards Ritsuka's body.
" Hmmm.. Don't you ever STOP!!!!" He slammed a fist against Ritsuka's body, breaking at least four ribs and knocking him temporarily lifeless. " So sorry." He said nonchalantly. " Now where were we?"
