Chapter 8-She
Eriol opened his eyes, but he was not Eriol any longer. That orb which it him…
It was Fujitaka's orb, which could only mean that he's…
That fucken son of a bitch.
He killed one of the reincarnations so he could manage to fuse the magic together into the other.
Eriol looked towards the mirrors that were hanging on the walls.
He was now Clow Reed.
A man that hated himself more than anything.
Maybe this was a good thing.
The Clow Hatter stepped out from the shadows. Clow Reed glared at him.
"Why have you done this to me?!!!" Clow Reed snapped bitterly at his insane self.
"Revenge," The Clow Hatter replied with a grin, "now that you're here, we can have lots of fun! Can't you image what the world would be like if they have to deal with both halves of the same magician?"
"No."
The Clow Hatter crossed his arms as he looked at his sane's self.
"And I placed so much work to get you back into the world of the living," The Clow Hatter sighed, "I should have had my minion kill you while you were that Harry Potter knockoff and then raped that sweet fucken virgin hard! It going to be hard to kill you this time."
Clow Reed released the power of the key, which revealed his staff. He glared at The Clow Hatter.
"Enough with the sick jokes," Clow Reed said as he was ready to attack, "where is this girl you've kidnapped?!!!"
"Kidnapped?" The Clow Hatter replied, "She was ill and I decided to give her some medical attention."
Clow Reed used his staff and whipped a few fireballs at The Clow Hatter. He jumped back and released his own Clow Staff to create a barrier against the flames.
"Now this is what I want!!!" The Clow Hatter cried out, "Come on in fight me! You know you want to do away with your insanity just like any bastard Englishman!!!! We can fight for all eternity!!"
The Clow Hatter unleashed ice shards at Clow Reed. Clow Reed jumped back and unleashed a reflect attack to bring the ice shards back at their master.
But the Clow Hatter blocked the shards by melting them away with a fire spell.
This was a tough battle for Clow Reed. Not many magicians got the chance to fight against themselves.
KeroWocky wanted to join the battle, but Cheshire Sun cooled the 50ft mechanical guardian beast down. The two should know better and not meddle with their boss's one on one battle.
Both magicians were equivalent in strength, power, and intelligence. It looked as if one was fighting against his or her shadow, which was a fight that can never be won by one side.
YingGirl entered the area. She watched in horror as the two fought. She didn't know whom The Clow Hatter was fighting but she knew why he was fighting.
He wanted her. No one should fight for her.
She wasn't worth it…SHE WAS NOT WORTH THIS FIGHT!!!!
She started to run into the battle. It was at the same time the both magicians unleashed their strongest attacks in hopes to get rid of the other.
The spells were going to collide with each other…
Yet they hit another target than the desired one each magician wanted.
The Virgin Key.
"NO!!!!!!!" The Clow Hatter yelled as he tried to call back his spell.
"YingGirl!!!" Clow Reed cried as he watched in horror.
YingGirl screamed in immense pain as she had both attacks slammed right at her. She collapsed onto the ground. Her remaining clothes were ripped to shreds as deep slashes covered her arms and legs. The rest was covered with bruises.
***
The Clow Hatter and Clow Reed rushed towards the fallen girl. The Clow Hatter knelt next to YingGirl while Clow Reed held her in his arms.
"This was not part of the plan!!!!" The Clow Hatter whined, "My Virgin Key was not supposed to interfere and die in battle!!!"
"Ying…" Clow Reed asked as he looked down at her, "why did you do such a thing? Your magic level can't handle this much damage."
"Because…" YingGirl replied with tears running down her eyes, "I don't want you to fight over me."
"What?"
"I don't want people fighting over me. I find it to be selfish…that's why I refuse to know about love or even want it. I see people fighting and dying for love just like they do for everything else. So I refused to fall in love…but now, I regret what I did since no one will actually care that I die."
"What do you mean?"
The Clow Hatter began to speak.
"Can't you see Clow?" The Clow Hatter said as he looked at Clow Reed, "She has no one. Her friends and her siblings have someone to care…someone to love. She does not. Her life has been tormented by the past visions when she was badly beaten up and still is today. Her pain was so immense that it screamed for death. I thought I could get rid of her pain by letting her forget and making her live a life with me. So I used my magic to teleport my mirror to a place where I can get in contact with her."
"I see," Clow Reed replied as he held YingGirl, "but you were using her."
"I know. If she dies, can you seal me away in this imprisonment with her dead body or kill me as well? I want to be with her forever."
"Master Clow!!!" Cheshire Sun cried out. KeroWocky grunted.
Clow Reed smiled at the Clow Hatter.
"I don't think that will be necessary," Clow Reed said as he placed a hand on YingGirl, "she isn't dead just yet."
"You mean…" The Clow Hatter replied with his eyes lit up.
"She may not have my magic, but she is capable to be healed by magic."
YingGirl groaned slightly. The Clow Hatter held onto her left hand.
"Well what are you waiting for?!" The Clow Hatter shrieked as he held her hand, "Help her!!!! Please don't let the Virgin Key to continue to suffer more than she already has!!"
Clow Reed began to chant up yet another spell. Other than being a magician, he began a healer of sorts as well. His healing powers were just as great with all the rest of his magic capabilities.
Perhaps this is why witches and pagans grew to hate him.
He normally used his healing spells on the guardians when they were deeply injured.
This was the first time it was done on another person, not a creation.
But…
It felt the same.
YingGirl, possible the weakest magician he'll ever meet, has the exact same attributes as Yue and sometimes, Cerberus, as well. It confuses him slightly, even enough to turn a shade of red.
Was he falling in love this person has never met but has managed to control the Ying side of life while her older sister had controlled the Yang side of life?
Perhaps he was. His insanity was already in love with her.
But…
YingGirl started to recover while her wounds were disappearing.
"Thank you…" YingGirl muttered slightly as she looked at Clow Reed.
The three managed to stand up. YingGirl had a bit of help since Clow Reed helped her to get up.
The Clow Hatter smiled. His task was done.
Yet both Clow Reed and YingGirl looked back at him in confusion.
"Please…" The Clow Hatter said as he looked at the two and unleashed his staff, "The Virgin Key is tired. Go and return to your world without chaos. If you'll stay here longer…you'll end up being my toys, and I don't think the Virgin Key is willing to accept me as her toy."
"Clow Hatter!!!!" YingGirl cried out, "What about you?"
"I must stay in this world. If I do not, then Chaos will be unleashed and destroy your world as well as mine. Please go."
"But…"
"We'll meet again Virgin Key." The Clow Hatter unleashed his staff at the two, which only knocked out YingGirl unconscious.
The two managed to leave this mirror nightmare. They made it home.
And the Clow Hatter is still smiling back at them.
