Thank you guys for all the lovely reviews! :3 I've been kind of discouraged that i was not doing a good job in these chapters. I don't know why. But ili777, thank you for your long reviews! It really brought me back up! And don't worry i know how busy life gets. And so to answer your question; Shinobu recognized Miyagi because of his voice and name. He's a smart kid. Also there is history between those two. I wont say much yet ;)
Also thanks to MeikoKuran999, MagicAnimeWorld, Yin, TeraTrue, NGBW, and Ern Estine 13624 for your reviews! :3 Yes those damn cliff hangers XDDD mwhahahahahaha. lol
Hope you guys enjoy! Next one will be longer. Much love!
Shinobu slowly backed away from Miyagi's glowing red eyes. A spike of fear stabbed his chest. "W-what's with your eyes?"
Miyagi sighed as he rubbed his Wolf Mask warily. He couldn't believe tonight was the night everyone would succumb to the curse. Miyagi groaned silently. Great, he was stuck with the kid for the entire night. What were they going to do to pass the time?
"Hey! I'm talking to you! Why did you lock the door and what's…" Shinobu blinks as he witnessed the mask moving around Miyagi's head. "What's going on with that mask of yours?"
It started moving around his head and tightening. Miyagi winced at the sharp ache but he let it consume him without struggling. The mask soon settled and the pain was gone. "It's being one with my face." Miyagi answered.
The dumb look that crossed over Shinobu's' face told him to explain further.
"On nights like these the mask comes to life. The clay mask is absorbed by the skin making human and mask become one."
Shinobu lifts a brow as he studies Miyagi's mask. It was so weird! Was this what Misaki was talking about? He was reminded of the Egyptian gods were the head is an animal and the body a human. The black fur looked so real Shinobu was tempted to reach out and pet it. "Ok, so your mask gets creepier, I got that, but why did you lock us in this room? And what was that roar we heard earlier!?"
Miyagi rubs the back of his head, his wolf ears twitching from the action. "Well, it's part of the curse." Shinobu knits his brows at the way the Wolfs mouth talks. It was actually kind of funny since the mouth had to be moving in a different angle to speak the words. "Every few months the masks would tighten around our faces and everyone loses control-"
"Wait!" Shinobu's eyes widened in horror. "That's tonight!?"
Miyagi nods gravely.
"Shit! Misaki!" Shinobu tries to get past Miyagi but Miyagi reaches out and grabs his arm firmly. "What the Hell are you doing!?" Shinobu tries to tugs at his hand out of Miyagi's grip. "I need to get Misaki-"
"The others had probably locked him in a room already. You go out there and you'll die!"
"But Misaki-"
"Didn't you hear me? Misaki's fine. You don't have to worry about him."
Shinobu shakes his head. "He needs me to be there!"
Miyagi pulls him back none to gently. He hoped he was listening now. "Idiot! If you go out there then you'll die! What would Misaki think then?"
Shinobu paused at this.
"He'll feel guilty and probably mourn your death for years to come."
Shinobu clenched his hands as he found the logic in Miyagi's words. "…He needs me."
Miyagi's face softens. "Comfort him in the morning. We can't do anything at this point."
Shinobu sulked. "So I'm stuck here…with you…" It took a second to process his own words and when he did his startled gaze went to Miyagi's Wolf Mask to the locked door. "Oh my God! You bastard!"
Miyagi blinks, clearly taken aback.
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Shinobu roughly pulls his hand out of Miyagi's grasp and backs away from him. "Is it because I called you an old man? Is that why you want to kill me yourself?"
Miyagi frowns in confusion. "What are you talk-" Miyagi was cut off when Shinobu ran to the door. Miyagi sprinted forward and shut the door before Shinobu could get out. He then picked Shinobu up from the waist and dropped him on the king size bed in the far right corner of the room. Miyagi then quickly climbs on top of Shinobu and pins his arms down. "Stop it!"
"Hell no!" Shinobu struggles harder. "You're going to lose control and kill me!"
Miyagi scowls. "Idiot! I don't lose control."
Shinobu instantly stopped. "Huh? But Misaki said-"
"Not. Me."
"How?"
Miyagi smirks, causing Shinobu to blush as he realized the position they were in. "Not saying."
"T-then get off!"
"Promise you won't leave this room."
"Yeah, yeah! Just get off!" Before my heart stops beating. Shinobu thought sourly.
Miyagi nods in satisfaction before he gets off the bed.
Shinobu was quick to get off on the other side and place as much space between them as possible.
Miyagi sighs as he looks around the bedroom. If he was going to be stuck here for hours then he should look to see if there were any books to read.
-Usami
Usami raced down the dark halls, his frantic eyes searching for a brown haired boy, his heart beating out of his chest at the thought of Misaki being next to Ritsu on a day like this, and his mind cursed that witch over and over again.
Kisa left on a business trip. He was their only warning. He just happened to leave on this particular day. He had a feeling that she was behind this. It had to be. Usami's anger rose.
A loud roar resonated through the castle followed by screams of pain and anguish.
Usami felt his heart kick up as he imagined Misaki's fear.
Damn it! There were servants on the floor withering in pain. They had no time to lock themselves in their rooms before the curse took effect.
Usami quickened his pace.
Where are you Misaki!? Please be safe!
