Chapter 10 - The Truth
~.~.~.~.~
The man was screaming, but it was not enough.
So she pressed harder.
He was still screaming, but still, it was not enough.
Willow looked down at her hands.
Blood covered her hands, her arms. Even her black kimono felt heavier, soaked with blood.
But it was not enough.
This man... this thing... he might be a low level Colombian, but he was the reason why Willow was back in this hellhole... they were the reason why Willow had come back.
Why Willow met Tara.
Tara's words had hurt Willow more than she cared to admit. She was a monster... she should not be hurt by words.
But she did... didn't she? Just as a monster should not have cared to plan for a future...
No.
Now, looking at that thing in front of her... she felt... numb.
No. It was not numb. It was peace.
Yes. Peace.
This was the reason why Asuka had chosen her in the first place.
This was the reason why... she was... Willow Kasen.
Yes.
Her lips curved up without being commanded to do so. Her hand shot forward, figures digging deep into the man's torso.
She did not pull out any organ... yet. Just wiggled her figures a bit, feeling the warmth that was uniquely human.
Or might be it was because of coldness in her heart that had made it feel so warm?
Willow closed her figures around something warm, and the man screamed again.
"YAMETE! WILLOW-SAN!"
Miyuki ran into the room, her arms tightened around her as her forehead pressing against Willow's back. "Mouiiyo..."
"Please speak in English. You will not be able to improve if you don't practice."
"Mou-" Miyuki swallowed. "That's enough, I beg of you."
"Did his screams wake you-"
"NO!" Miyuki shouted and spun Willow around. "You are not... please just... you are not... Asuka is gone..."
She could see the pain in Miyuki's eyes... and she wanted to take it away... because she was their monster. She was supposed to protect them. She was not supposed to cause them pain... she did not want Miyuki to be in pain.
"You are one of us now... you don't have to be that monster anymore..."
Willow raised her hand. She could feel the blood of the man's rapidly cooled on her skin. She touched Miyuki's cheek softly.
"No..."
Miyuki was the youngest. The family had always wanted to shield her from the outside world... but no longer. She was an adult now, and she was to join the family business...
She needed to see the truth, just as the peace brought the truth out of Willow.
"Just as you will always be a Kasen... I will always be that monster."
