Lost And Found; Crimson Blood and Poison Tears?
Slight boyxboy and heavy violence in this chapter. First official appearances of this chapter : Ragnarok, Eruka Frog
Shikudo's POV
I had my team together. We have been searching for Rosephine for 3 days now. I wasn't going to give up, though. She had to be found, or Kid would know just what 'Death' is. Me and Stein had picked up a soul wavelength a while ago, and we had been following that lead since to a dark looking cave. We had decided to set up camp and go in after we had rested up.
Crona's POV
It has been 3 days! I dont know how to handle this! The only reason I agreed to go was that Rosephine was one of the few people besides my friends that didn't pick on my pink hair, and I wanted to confront Shikudo about what he and Cirin did. I sat behind a rock, and then I felt a familiar sensation in my back.
"What're you waitning for? An invitation? Go over there already and give him a piece of your mind!" My black blood companion said.
"Ok. Thanks for the boost." I said. Ever since I stopped spazzing as much, Ragnarok has become more of a coach than a bully. I stood up, and walked over to Shikudo and froze when he took a sip from his water bottle. I do admit that I understand why Cirin would pick him to sneak around with.
"Why'd you freeze? Really, I thought you were past freezing up around guys!? Le t me help, then." He grabbed my hand and placed it on Shikudo's butt. He dropped his water bottle, but his hand was still twitching in place as he turned his head.
"Crona?"
"Yeah, Shikudo?"
"Would you mind, you know, GETTING YOUR HAND OFF MY ASS!?"
"Sorry, I just need to talk to you."
"So, you thought the best way to get my attention was to grab my ASS?"
"I said SORRY!"
"That does not make it better!"
"I know about you and Cirin!"
He stood there, shocked. I think my delivery was off, but I think the point still got there.
"Crona, look, I'm sorry about Cirin, but I'll tell you that there was only one time I felt something back. I honestly think Cirin just wants to get at you by sneaking around."
"Why?"
"There's one thing he told me about you two: he thinks that you lack passion. If you show him that, he'll be back on you like that." He snapped his fingers. "And I'll stay away from him for awhile."
"OK. Thanks."
"No problem."
Stein's POV
"Are you two girls done talking about your boyfriends, or we going to waste more time?" I said, warranting a angered reaction from the brunetted boy. I laughed.
"Dammit, Stein!" He said to me. I laughed more.
"But seriously, we need to get in there and find out what that wavelength is."
"That's true." Ragnarok said snidely.
Shikudo nodded as he walked to the opening of the cave.
Kid's POV
Shikudo bumped into me and knocked me over. He really hated me. All I did was break up with his weapon. I didn't tell her to run off to some dark, dank cave.
"Hey, watch it!" I said to him.
He turned around towards me. "You have no right to tell me to do anything, got it." He said angrily."We wouldn't have to do this if your punk self could've dealt with a little left right unbalance. You make me sick."
Just as he said that, a big beast popped up out of the ground. "Shikudo, BEHIND YOU!"
He turned. "Dammit." was his response to what he said. We all got in battle position, expecting the frog-beast to attack, but it just sat there. "What are you waiting for? I'll give you one free shot, how's that sound?" Just as he said that, the beast stabbed it's claws into him, and threw him about 100 feet back.
Rainera's POV
"YOUNG MASTER SHIKUDO!" I screamed as Shikudo was thrown across the field. I summoned Wytomac. "Bear form, go." Wytomac changed and charged at the beast, only to be smacked back. "Wytomac!" he faded. I'll have to wait a while to summon him again.
"Se questo era il tuo colpo migliore, aspettate di vedere la mia!" He walked up to the beast.
"Shikudo do you still have control?" If not, we had to defend ourselves as well.
"Va tutto bene. Ho ancora il controllo." I didn't know what it meant, but gave a thumbs up, so I knew the jist of what he was saying.
Shikudo's POV
I stood in front of it. I let the wounds on my chest become javelins and I sent them in the frog's blood stream. I waited until I had enough of my blood in it's body, and then I exploded it's veins. I laughed angrily and then looked at Kid. I felt myself revert to my normal form, but this time, I did not pass out.
"Huh, I didn't pass out?" I said
"That was me, I put a serum in the inhibitors that allows you not to fall into unconsciousness after you leave psychosis." Stein said, with a smile? He must be happier young.
"Well, let's go into the cave." Crona said.
We walked in to find Rosephine on the ground with thin cuts all around her left wrist and neck. She better be alive for Kid's sake of living. Stein picked up a piece of paper and handed it to me.
"I think I know why she came here." He handed the paper to me.
"It looks like one of my poems." Crona said.
I read it to myself as I walked out of the cave to keep guard as Rainera and Stein fixed Rosephine up.
rain, rain, go away
because of you the pain will stay
slit my throat, tear it apart
poison tears stream down my face
my heart beats at steady pace
as i try to stand again
i don't need you anymore
is what i think while tears pour
i hate you like i hate my life
but love is what cuts you like a knife
love is death and death is you
it's the pain like a black tattoo
and bids me in the ropes of pain
crimson blood streams down my head
like a long silk ribbon tied by a thread
to a platnium bullet a hole in my skull
now just a memory that's faded and dull.
I felt a pricking pain in my back upon completion of reading the poem. Then, i felt woozy . . .
Eruka's POV
I snickered. I still had some black blood from the late witch Medusa's expirements. He won't be awake for a while and whenever he tries that blood trick, the black blood will make him turn on his friends.
That is how one handles a fight. EXPLODY VEINS! By the wee, that poem was written by Rose201, and it's called Crimson Blood and Poison Tears
