CHAPTER 11: Seeing "Truth"
"The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."
- Albert Einstein
Previously…
"Embrace your greatest horror," Suddenly the room filled with dark flames. Everybody closed their eyes and shield their head with their hands. When everything seemed to settled down, Enma opened his eyes slowly and his eyes widen on the next second. He gasped when he saw the figure in front of him; the figure he has lost long time ago.
"Enma…nii-chan…" the figure said slowly and tears can be seen streaming down her face.
"M-mami…?"
"Wha-… how can it be…?" Enma whispered to himself. Standing in front of him was the figure that he has lost yet missed for years and he was sure that she has already gone forever.
"Enma… nii-chan…" The girl called out to him shakily. "I… I'm scared…" Enma, seeing his little sister scared and trembled like she was when they were much smaller couldn't hold his longing for his little sister. He approached her, still with disbelief eyes and he walked slowly and carefully.
"Mami…" Enma said half-whisper as he stood right in front of his little sister. He squatted to Mami's level and they stared at each other.
"Enma-nii-chan," Mami smiled. Seeing her smile, he couldn't remember everything else. Everything was forgotten, the fact that he was in a battle and the fact that...—
Just as Enma reached her cheek with his right hand, an evil grin emerged on her face. – …the dead couldn't return to life.
Without any delay, Mami's hand rose and slashed Enma on the chest. Enma fell to the ground and his hands reached for the wound in his chest. He started to pant and realized that the wound was very big and that he would die in minutes. He glanced at Mami and that grin was still on her face.
"Enma-nii-chan… are you okay…?" Her hand rose once again, preparing to give the final blow. Enma looked at her hands; its nails were sharp, just like a blade. Enma closed his eyes, not wanting to see anymore. But suddenly a slap came across his face and he instantly opened his eyes. When he opened his eye, he no longer saw Mami but another figure.
"Enma! Enma! Wake up!" Adelheid yelled frantically as she kept shaking Enma.
"Adel…?"
"Enma, what happened?" Adelheid asked, worry mirrored on her face. Enma, still panting, was about to get up but the feeling of excruciating pain returned to him. He saw his body and saw the wound inflicted to him was still there.
"Don't move Enma! We'll get you healed up immediately," Adelheid said. Adelheid was just about to stand and called for a sun-flame user but Enma's hand stopped her.
"Wait… Adel…" Enma said weakly. Adelheid quickly sat beside him again. "What happened to me just now?"
"I don't know Enma," Adelheid answered. "You suddenly stood still and didn't move… and suddenly this huge wound appeared on your body!" Adelheid explained confusedly to Enma. Enma stared at her, equally confused.
"Didn't you see-"
"Enma!" Tsuna called to him, stopping his sentence. He could see Tsuna flying toward them and his guardians along with Tsuna's running behind him. "Onii-san, please heal Enma!" Tsuna said to Ryohei as soon as they arrived.
"Ou!" Ryohei nodded and quickly lit his flame and opened his box and started to heal Enma's wound. Suddenly, he heard a familiar sound call out to him.
"Onii-chan!" Ryohei's eyes widen but didn't move an inch. After a few seconds, he turned his face, trying to look for the source of the voice.
"What's the matter, senpai?" Yamamoto asked, voicing out the question everyone has in mind but strangely Ryohei didn't respond at all. "… senpai?"
He then spotted a girl smiling in the middle of the room, and everyone was still there, every one of the party.
"Onii-chan~!" Kyoko called him sweetly with her hands on her back. Ryohei's eyes widen but then he remembered that Kyoko already evacuated and taken to a safe place. She couldn't possibly be here. He then turned his attention to Enma's wound, confusing everyone by his strange attitude. Suddenly, Ryohei straightened his back as he felt a touch on his shoulder, surprising everyone again by his sudden gesture. Enma, the one that has experienced it before, realized what was happening with him.
"Everyone… wake him… quickly…!" Enma said with great effort and between pants.
"What do you mean Enma?" Rauji asked.
"Onii-chan, what's the matter?" Kyoko said behind Ryohei. He turned around as he felt that the touch was real.
"Kyoko!" Ryohei exclaimed as he saw his little sister's face.
"What is it onii-chan?" Kyoko smiled at him sweetly, like she used to. Just about Ryohei was about to say another word, he felt that he was stabbed near his waist. He gasped, and the last thing he could see was Kyoko with evil glint on her eyes and a grin. "What's the matter, onii-chan~?"
Ryohei lost his consciousness and fell on his back. "Senpai/Onii-san/Turf-head/Sasagawa!" Everyone gasped when suddenly Ryohei fell and they saw the red color starting to spread.
"T-that's blood!" Gokudera exclaimed.
"Impossible! Nobody attack him!" Adelheid also exclaimed, attracting all attention. The Arcobaleno, excluding Verde and Mammon quickly approached them to see what's going on. Iemitsu, Basil, Dino, Romario, and Shamal also ran over to their place.
"What happened?" Iemitsu asked.
"We don't know, Ryohei was healing Enma but suddenly he himself have that big wound," Koyo explained.
"What was that, kora!"
"This is bad; they both have deep wounds!" Fong said as soon as he checked their wounds.
"Can't you heal him, Shamal?" Gokudera asked. Shamal shook his head.
"My trident mosquito could only heal diseases inside the body, but if it's wounds like this…"
"That means we'll have to ask for Lussuria's help since he's the only one that can heal him now," Dino said.
"Lussuria-dono, please come over here!" Basil yelled to him. Lussuria turned to Xanxus.
"Nee boss, can I?" Lussuria asked to Xanxus who scoffed.
"Hmph whatever," Hearing that Lussuria skipped to them.
"What is it~?" Lussuria asked to them, almost in a completely casual tone.
"Please heal them both!"
"Well, if it can't be helped~" Lussuria said. He lit his flame and opened his box. A peacock appeared from the book. "Healing Panel~!"
Light appearing from the peacock's feathers unto Enma and Ryohei's body and slowly their wounds are disappearing. Enma and Ryohei now could breathe more comfortably and every one quickly has a face of relief. 'As expected of Varia quality, his healing speed is no joke.'
"Enma, could you tell us what happened just now?"
"Just now… I saw Mami…" Enma said surprising the Shimon group; they all have their families killed when they're still very young and of course they knew who Mami was.
"But that's… that's impossible!" Koyo said.
"I know… I don't understand either," Enma said, trying to get into sitting position.
"Aah, I also see something impossible just now…" suddenly Ryohei said, attracting the group's attention.
"Onii-san?"
"I just see Kyoko just now…" Ryohei said surprising everyone. He slowly got into sitting position as well.
"But… we don't see Kyoko nor hear her voice earlier or now," Yamamoto said.
"That means we've been attacked by illusions," Ganma stated.
"But the thing that surprised me most is not that part," Ryohei continued.
"What do you mean?"
"Although I know that she's an illusion… when she touched my shoulder… she felt so real," Ryohei said as he touched his shoulder. "And Kyoko… she… stabbed me," Ryohei frowned making everyone have wide eyes once again.
"If you said Kyoko… then you mean that orange haired cutie right?" Julie asked. Ryohei nodded.
"It was the same as me…" Enma said. "I was also attacked by… Mami."
"Tch, what was happening exactly?" Gokudera exclaimed.
"At any rate, we have to make sure that no more of us got into their attack or else…." Lal said. "We're all going to die."
"But how can we stop it?" Dino asked.
"Adel slapped me just now and that illusion gone," Enma said, recalling that time.
"Then we'll have to do just that!" Shitt P. said.
"Hmmm~~ how fun~~ ushishishi," Bel said suddenly appearing beside the team, startling most of them.
"Auw Bel you can't startle people like that~" Lussuria said, completely unsurprised.
"Ushishishi, at any rate I would love to slap some certain people, ushishishi," Bel said. "I can't wait for it."
"Which side are you anyway Knife-freak? (note: it should be "Knife b*st*rd" but I guess it's rude so… yeah)" Gokudera yelled at him while most of them sweat-dropped.
"Hmph looks like you're underestimating us too much," A voice said. They looked over and saw Nyree and the rest of her group also completely healed and looked as if nothing has happened.
"We'll get you for what you have done to us just now!" Thea shouted at them.
"Just bring it!" Gokudera exclaimed back at them.
"Heh you can only use your power to two people? That's lame Mordred," Jason mocked Mordred although Mordred just stayed quiet and stared down at Tsunahime who was close to unconscious. Suddenly mist flames appeared in front of Tsunahime making Mordred to looked up slightly to see the figure.
"Kufufu, as much as I wanted the Vongola to perish, I want to be the one who destroy them," Mukuro said as he appeared in front of Tsunahime, along with his trident. Chikusa and Ken also appeared beside him.
"That's right, byon!" Ken grinned. "As if we'll let you do as you like!"
"Hmmm… though I know that not everyone of the Vongola will be taken down by the attack, I'll say I'm disappointed with the result Mordred," Killian said, glancing at said person. Said person just bowed his head slightly.
"Now we don't have time to delay!" Thea said to Killian with intent eyes. "Let's do that attack now!"
Killian smirked and looked at the Vongola team. He too wanted to defeat them as soon as possible and to ensure the guarantee of winning the fight. He grinned and said, "I guess it's time to show off your power Thea, Jason."
Thea and Jason brightened up and nodded. "We'll make you proud! Definitely!"
They both closed their eyes and spread their arms and suddenly soft sun flames surrounding their body. "Make sure you didn't do it on Tsunahime~!" Killian reminded to them. They both nodded slightly in response and stood still. The Vongola group, sensing the change of the atmosphere, already have their weapons in hand.
"Tch they just coming one after another!" Gokudera said annoyed with dynamites on his hands.
"Hmph, they were like cockroaches," Verde commented coolly. "They're just that hard to die."
Just in a few seconds, Thea and Jason opened their eyes, revealing golden colored pupils and stretched their arms toward the Vongola group. The Vongola group took a step back, preparing for the attack.
"It's finished."
