ON TO THE STORY!
Kyla picked Yuki up and looked at the teen, seeing the intense pain still touched all over her face. "Oh… Yuki… why?" Kyla murmured. She tried using her powers to counteract the effects of the previous attack, however it wasn't working well and she sighed. "This isn't working well…" Kyla thought. "She is going to die if I don't do something…" Kyla sighed and tried more, her hands burning with so much energy being put forth. The carriage came up eventually, and she sighed slightly in relief.
Sebastian stopped the carriage then jumped off of the seat. "What happened?" He asked.
"I dont know… i have a feeling it has to do with our mystery memory taker… she's out cold" Kyla said, holding Yuki gently.
"Do you think… she lost her memory as well?" Sebastian asked.
"Most likely… but I hope it isn't true…" She said. "Well… Get her in the carriage, we will take her back to the manor and see what we can do" Sebastian said.
Kyla nodded and she put Yuki in the carriage. Koyuki immediately clung to her sister, crying slightly. Ciel watched this with discontent. "How is it that everyone manages to get hurt or in trouble around here?" Ciel thought.
When they reached the manor, Kyla picked up Yuki and brought her to another room, bringing her pajamas up as well and dressed her in them. She put heavy blankets on her then left the room. She then tended to Koyuki, who was sitting on her bed crying now, using her wings as a form of extra warmth. It was partially because she didn't want to be bothered, and it was her personal shell. Kyla sighed and shook her a little bit. when she opened up, she hugged Koyuki.
"Don't worry dear… everything will be fine…" Kyla said. "She will only be like this for a little while i promise"
"B-but… if Nee-chan doesn't remember me.." Koyuki sniffed, crying still.
"She will remember you eventually darling I'm sure of it" Kyla said. "Please, dont fret"
Koyuki nodded and sniffed, trying to wipe her tears. "Would you like some hot chocolate? We can go down and make some" Kyla said, wiping tears that Koyuki didn't find.
the child nodded and Kyla picked her up. "Then we will go get you hot chocolate" Kyla smiled. They went to the kitchen and Kyla made hot chocolate for Koyuki, who stat on the counter drinking it. "Thank you mama" Koyuki said.
"You're welcome, Koyuki" Kyla smiled. "Anything to make sure you are happy and okay"
Koyuki nodded with a small smile. "Thank you" she said. Kyla smiled as well and she gave Koyuki a kiss on her forehead. "You are very much welcome. Perhaps we can convince Ciel to play chess with you" Kyla said
"I like chess" Koyuki said, smiling warmly now.
"I know you do" Kyla said.
Koyuki took her hot chocolate and left the kitchen. Kyla sighed after and slumped against the counter. "I'm alright stressed out…" She murmured. "What if Yuki did loose her memory? It will be hell trying to get it back… the mind is a difficult thing… you have to be open in order for anything to work"
She felt a hand on her shoulder and she opened her eyes, seeing sebastian. "Are you alright?" he asked.
"Not quite… I'm worried about Yuki" Kyla said. "if she doesn't have her memory, it will take a lot for her to remember it all… she doesn't trust easily and usually allows me or Koyuki to trust someone first… if she lost her memory then she will be completely stubborn and I won't be able to recover her memory for her" Kyla said.
"You can recover memories?" Sebastian asked, a little intrigued. "I can… however it leaves my body vulnerable as my conscious is needed to dwell inside someones mind, forcing the locks in their mind to undo. But… you need to be open to it for it to work" Kyla said. "If Yuki isn't open, I cant intrude into every memory and unlock it, she will force me out. While I could easily over power her, it is the fact of pain. I don't want her to be in pain. If I force my way into someones mind when they are trying to keep you out, it will cause pain" Kyla explained.
Sebastian thought. "So… how do we get her to open up?"
"I don't know… she doesn't like to trust people as I mentioned… but if there was a memory that she kept close, that will be the first to unlock. the thing is I don't know which memory that is" Kyla said. "Plus, worse even, it needs a trigger, something similar to that particular incident. If its a memory with her mother, it will be severely difficult to recreate"
Sebastian nodded. "I will be back, i must check on something" Sebastian said.
Kyla nodded and he left, she sighed and closed her eyes again "Yuki… please keep your memories…"
Yuki did not wake up for twenty four hours. Kyla was getting concerned. She was worried that the extensive damage may have put her in a deep coma. She changed Yuki's pajamas so she could wash them, and was in the process of doing the last button when a knock came to the door. "M-mama? Can I come in?" It was Koyuki.
"Yes dear" Kyla said, putting a small, fake smile on her face.
Koyuki walked in and looked to her sister, who was now back in bed. She sniffed lightly. "Is Nee-chan okay?" She asked. "Your sister… is in a heavy sleep right now, Koyuki" Kyla said. "She… she might be asleep for a while"
Koyuki's heart broke a little bit and sighed. "Okay mama… can I help Finny for a while?" Koyuki asked.
"Sure" Kyla said. "Be careful, okay?"
"I will" Koyuki said.
She left the room and Kyla sighed again. "That figures…" She said. Sebastian opened the door briefly. "Is something the mater?" Sebastian asked. "No, nothing really. Koyuki asked how Yuki was doing… I'm a little bit worried" Kyla said. "What if she ran off? She could get kidnapped…"
"I will make sure she stays safe, but the young master needs me now, good day" Sebastian said. He left and Kyla had a small smile. "At least he is willing to help" She said.
After she finished helping Sebastian prepare lunch, Kyla went back to Yuki's room, fixing the blankets slightly. She sat on the chair next to the bed and picked up something and a needle. It was Yuki's dress, since it was torn before. She made a few stitches before she heard noise. She looked to Yuki, who was starting to wake up.
"Yuki!" She exclaimed, standing.
Yuki's eyed opened, but they were empty, like they had seen nothing. Kyla knew this immediately and her facial expression dropped. "Do you recognize me?" Kyla asked.
Yuki shook her head. "Who are you?" She asked. "And… where am I?"
"In the Phantomhive Manor. My name is Kyla, I'm one of the butlers of this estate" Kyla said. "I am your butler as well"
"I… I am confused" Yuki said, sitting up.
"Please… you lost your memory in a certain attack that I am unsure of what went on. I need you to try and focus and remember for me, that or let me into your mind" Kyla said.
"I-into my mind?! No way!" Yuki exclaimed.
"That was to be expected" Kyla thought. "Please, Yuki. You need your memories back, or your little sister-"
"I have a little sister!?" Yuki asked. "Where?"
"She isn't here, she went to help the gardener. Please Yuki, its for her sake" Kyla said. "How do I know you won't kill me?" Yuki asked.
Kyla sighed. "Thats right, you don't because you are skeptical of everyone… will you at least come down for lunch?" Kyla asked.
Yuki's stomach growled loudly. "Fine" She replied, crossing her arms.
Kyla handed her the repaired dress and stepped out, allowing her to dress before they went. Yuki looked up to Kyla and rolled her eyes. "Alright where is the dining hall?"
"Follow me, please" Kyla said.
Koyuki's stomach growled. She replied to this by bringing out a small part of bread from her satchel, which she filled with food. She was sitting in the cave, she tried her best to fly there, having been taught by Kyla how to fly. She just was able to use it as a faster means of travel for the moment. She nibbled at the bread, eating it piece by piece. She looked out the cave, seeing the dark skies. "It might rain" She said to herself.
The wind started to kick up and Koyuki winced. She brought her wings around her body and shivered slightly. "Its cold…" She murmured. "I want to go back home…"
She yawned though, the flying had tired her out. "But… maybe a nap first…" she muttered. she crawled to where the wind didn't touch her and sat there, covering her self with her wings. She soon fell asleep there, unknowing of what her fate.
"Is Koyuki still in the garden?" Kyla asked.
"The garden? She was out there all day?" Sebastian asked. "Well.. yes" Kyla said, putting plates down. "Thats where she said she was going anyway…"
"Perhaps I will ask Finny… he should know" Sebastian said.
"Please do" Kyla said.
"Who is Koyuki?" Yuki asked.
"Your little sister. She is very worried and is very upset. She may have done something rash by now but I don't know if that is true or not" Kyla said.
Yuki nodded and started to eat, Ciel sighed.
"So you did loose your memory" Ciel said. Yuki nodded carefully. "What is it to you? You aren't anyone important" Yuki said, the last part being quiet.
Ciel rolled his eyes and continued eating. Kyla sighed and tried to get into Yuki's mind, however was met with a force that prevented her from getting far.
"Damn…" Kyla thought. "She's not going to let me in"
"Finnian! Has Koyuki been out here?" Sebastian asked the boy. "Uh… only for a few minutes, admiring the Violet buds. She picked one then left. I havent seen her since" Finny said.
"Do you know where she went?" Sebastian asked.
"No, I don't. It looked like she left the estate, though" Finny said.
Sebastian made a small sound and went back inside with no further words. He found Kyla and sighed. "Koyuki left the estate" Sebastian said.
"Did she? She may have gone to the grotto… there is a special area in a forest that the girls have found, and no body else can intrude on it. Its special to us, like a clear, pure place to think. She may have gone there… I'm not too concerned, she should be back before the sun goes down" Kyla said.
"Are you sure?" Sebastian asked.
"Believe me, I am worried, but I am confident that she will be okay" Kyla said.
Sebastian nodded and sighed. As they were cleaning dishes they heard a noise. "Sebastian… please tell me that was Bard blowing something up" Kyla said.
"I don't think Baldroy blew anything up" Sebastian said.
Kyla went to where she could look out the window, and saw rain heavily falling. "Sebastian… its raining…" She said. "I'm… I'm going after Koyuki"
"Wait" He said, grabbing her wrist gently. She turned with a small blush, Sebastian formed one as well. "You… you need to take care of Yuki, see what you can do to recover her memory… alright?"
In truth, it was more the fact that he was worried she would get sick again. Kyla saw it, and she nodded. "Okay… please be careful Sebastian" She said.
He nodded in reply and he left the kitchen, eventually leaving the manor. Kyla sighed and went to Ciels study, seeing him and Yuki play chess. "What will this do exactly?" She asked.
"Hopefully revive memories" Ciel said.
Koyuki was sleeping when she was disrupted by footsteps. She also heard the harsh falling of rain and clapping of thunder, making her wince. "P-papa? Mama?" She asked, looking above her feathers. She was met with an unwelcoming sight, however, seeing a black haired female who smirked. "Nope, mommy and daddy aren't here to save you, brat. You know, its shameful for an angel to have demons as parents. Now up"
Koyuki shook her head and curled up, tightening every limb including her wings.
Kita growled. "Troublesome brat" She said. She reached past Koyuki's wings and gripped her wrist tightly, she felt and heard the bones crack as Koyuki's eyes started to water and she cried. "Shut up, stand up and move!" Kita ordered.
Koyuki shook her head once again and Kita's eyes glowed Ivory. "Damn you brat!" She said.
Koyuki was thrown forward and she screamed in pain. Instead of going unconsious, however, she no longer felt her wings, which folded and pressed against her back. "Now walk!"
Koyuki winced and nodded, starting to walk. She was going in the direction of the manor for a small moment after she got out of the cave, but was only welcomed with a strong kick to the back, making her fall to the ground. "Wrong way, idiot" Kita growled.
"Where are you taking me?" Koyuki managed to ask.
That question was answered with her legs being kicked. "Shut up, no talking, brat. None of your buisniness you will see when we get there" Kita said.
Koyuki winced and she kept walking. Over the time of a few hours, she kept getting kicked numerous times by Kita. When they stopped, Koyuki was sure her legs were either fractured or broken, but she still kept walking some how.
Kita moved some things, since the area was filled with twigs and branches from trees. It revealed a hole, too small for an adult, but perfect for a child. However, it was deep. Koyuki would be trapped. "Get in there and dont make any noise, I will know if you do" Kita said.
Koyuki nodded and crawled in the hole, accidentally falling down it and getting hurt more. Her head was bleeding now and she winced. "Good girl, I will move you some place else soon" Kita said.
The hole was covered again, but rain still seeped inside. Koyuki sat on the muddy ground, crying silently. "Mama… papa I need you…" Koyuki thought.
By the time it was solid darkness, Sebastian had followed some kind of energy trail to the grotto Kyla was talking about. He looked around, but there was no sign of Koyuki. He looked around inside the cave even, not finding her then. He did his best to focus and call Kyla.
"Kyla.. is this working?" He thought.
"What do you need Sebastian? Is something wrong? Are you hurt?" Kyla asked through the mind link.
"Good, I can talk to you" Sebastian said. "I can't find Koyuki, she isn't here, but the grotto you mentioned is the last place she was. Its absolute pouring rain here" Sebastian said.
"Please try you best to find her… Ciel and Yuki are still playing chess, that much is still the same I suppose… are you sure you don't need my help?" Kyla asked.
"Yes I am sure. Don't worry Kyla, I'll find Koyuki" Sebastian replied.
"Alright… I trust you Sebastian… I'm very worried about her now" Kyla said.
"Don't be. She will return safe" Sebastian said.
The connection temporarily closed and Sebastian saw a foot print. The way the stance was told him something, it came from a tall woman and she had been very light on her feet. He followed the faint trail and eventually found a trail of blood. He realized it was Koyuki's, and his eyes glowed in their demonic way.
"Koyuki" He growled out, running after the blood trail.
Kyla sighed and looked at the two still playing chess. Yuki looked interested, but Kyla didn't see any signs of her memory. She was about to leave when an idea came to her mind. "Young Master, may I speak with you for a moment?" Kyla asked.
"Excuse me" Ciel said, standing. They stepped out the door and Kyla gave him a small look. "I have a small idea… I want you to kiss Yuki"
"What!? Why?" Ciel asked, blushing slightly.
"Because, I know a while ago you both kissed… if that is her most treasured memory, it will undo the first lock we need to get rid of for her mind to start opening up again… Please Ciel it will mean nothing. I'm begging you, its just to restore her memory" Kyla said.
They had a minor starring contest for a minute, before he sighed. "Fine… I'll kiss Yuki…" He said.
"Thank you Lord Phantomhive… thank you" Kyla said. They walked back in and Yuki gave them a look. "I didn't cheat, I didn't touch the board" Yuki said.
"Thank you… please come with me for a second" Ciel said. Yuki nodded and stood, though she was very cautions of this. She walked out the door first, pondering what the boy wanted. When she turned around, she was pulled down ever so slightly and felt pressure on her lips. She blushed, seeing that Ciel was kissing her. Ciel was blushing madly as well, and after a small moment, he thought it useless to continue, so he started to part. The next second though, was something he didn't expect. Yuki had grabbed his head and forced him to keep kissing her, her eyes were closed and her face was about as red as blood. Soon, she let him go and she took a small step back. "C-Ciel I'm… I'm so sorry" Yuki said. "B-but i remember… we tripped in the hallway and I fell onto you and we kissed… I'm so sorry I was just so into the moment and loving it that I… I… I wanted more…" Yuki said, her blush continuing to get brighter.
Ciel's did as well and he mumbled something before leaving. Yuki sighed and went back into his study, Kyla stood there with a concerned face. "Well? Do you remember anything?" She asked.
"Yes, I remember tripping and kissing him before… are we a couple?" Yuki asked.
"No. Lord Phantomhive is not in a romantic relationship with you. But you have romantic feelings to him" Kyla said.
"Thats why I felt different…" Yuki muttered.
"Exactly. Now do you trust me enough to dwell in your mind and retrieve more memories?" Kyla asked.
Yuki nodded and kyla smiled. "Alright… We will just go to your room so you can fall asleep, its going to be late anyway so come along" Kyla said.
Yuki nodded and they headed to her room.
