AUTHOR'S NOTE: Okay, this chapter will be answering a lot of questions...where Yamaki is, the whereabouts of a hybrid, and the whole four gods saga. Oh, and a small new development. ^_~
The nice blonde lady is that same blonde secretary from god-knows-when early on in the story. And finally, a description of what Reiko looks like! Yes, the shirt is Ruki's new one with the full heart. 'Kay, think that's it.
Yamaki Mitsuo felt like dumping the cup of coffee over his head. And then getting about fifty more hot cups of the brown stuff and scalding himself with those, as well.
How could he have been so blind? He was such a total idiot...
In his grief for Reika, he hadn't even realized what he was doing. He'd been too far gone to see the sheer insanity of the whole situation. It had been such a waste. Using all of those resources to create something that hadn't been intended to exist on this Earth in the first place, and ruining the lives of others along the way. All for the small chance that it could bring about a way for the one woman he had loved to return...
Was there any way he could possibly make up for this?
"Why didn't we tell them?" Qinglongmon asked as he and his companions left the Lee home.
"It wasn't necessary. We may still be able to get rid of the Abomination." Ebonwumon answered.
"Don't kid yourself or anything." Qinglongmon commented.
"At the moment it is inactive, Qinglongmon. As long as it doesn't pass into this world, there is no reason for worry." Zhuqiaomon told his frustrated friend.
"Yet we still gave him the ability to change forms so that he could fight it? Just as a precaution, right?" Baihumon asked. Zhuqiaomon growled angrily.
"What is it with you two? The chances of it passing through are extremely slim! Why are you worrying?" Zhuqiaomon shouted.
"I'm worried because if that thing gets what it needs, then both of the worlds will be doomed!" Baihumon shouted back.
Pata sat on a bench, crying. When all those lights had gone off, she'd been so scared. And now she couldn't find Toge and everyone else...a nice blonde lady had helped her out of the scary place, but she'd gone back to go help some other people out and Pata was all alone. She wasn't used to being alone...Devi, and all the others had always been there for her. She missed being with everyone. She missed playing with Grey and Lord Culumon. She missed hearing stories about the outside from Devi. She missed Toge always being there to cheer her up.
Pata lifted her head as she heard someone come running by. It was a pretty girl with long light brown hair, streaked with red. She was wearing a denim jacket, a white shirt with aqua sleeves and a blue heart along with dark jeans. Then she stopped abruptly, seeing Pata.
"What's wrong?" the girl asked, kneeling down to see Pata face-to-face. Pata sniffled and wiped the tears out of her eyes.
"I can't find Toge or any of my friends..." the young hybrid answered. Reiko blinked in surprise. "Toge?" she repeated.
Pata nodded. "You're a hybrid, aren't you?" the girl asked.
"I...I guess." the little blonde answered. "Who are you?"
Reiko smiled. "I'm Reiko Matsuda. Who are you?"
Pata smiled. "I'm Pata." she said. Reiko smiled warmly and patted the small girl's head.
"How about coming with me?" the brunette asked. "I'm going over to a friend's house..."
"Wow, you go out late." Pata commented. Reiko laughed.
"Well, my parents kind of don't know I left..." she explained. Pata's eyes widened. "They don't? But you're being a bad girl!" the little kid declared. Reiko huffed in response.
"Okay, you've got me there." she said, admitting defeat.
Kiiroishi suddenly violently jerked, dropping the ring in his fingers. Something was calling him! Forcibly, he stood up and headed towards his window, as if being pulled there.
Outside his window stood what looked like a vampire of sorts, and Kiiroishi felt his blood run cold as the vampire glanced at him. "Hellmon..." the hybrid whispered, feeling a strong terror.
"What's that?" Pata asked, turning around to face a really scary vampire. It smirked at the young girl. Reiko trembled.
"That doesn't matter to you, or your friend." the vampire answered. His chest began to glow a disturbing bright red.
"Those foolish gods thought they could stop me. But now I have what I need." The Vampire said, his voice frighteningly soft and calm. He closed his eyes as the glow grew stronger. Reiko tried to grab Pata and run, but then realized she couldn't move as she begun to get taken inside of the monster's heart.
