Chapter 6: Message on the Wall
Light shined in through the window of the Dai Kaioshin's bedroom window, pouring in onto the sleeping faces in the bed. Kaioshin pressed his eyes shut tightly, trying to avoid the morning light. However, he had no avail. His eyes soon fluttered open. He gazed up at the large golden clock that was hanging on the opposite wall.
"Wow, is it that late already?"
He slowly pulled himself up into a sitting position. He then noticed the lump beside him in the bed. He yanked the covers off gently.
Treasure-chan?
*Oh yeah, that's right.* He thought, remembering the events of the night before.
He'd need to wake her up now; it was getting rather late in the morning. He was surprised that nobody had wakened him up yet. It was amazingly quiet.
*I wonder why it's so quiet?*
The palace normally would be rustling with noise as all of the maids and house workers went about their daily chores. However, today it was dead silent.
Shin didn't like this. Slowly he crept up to the door and slowly opened it to peer out. He frowned. Nobody was there. *How odd*
He closed the door gently and returned to the side of the bed. Softly he shook his daughter until she hesitantly opened one eye. Immediately she clasped it shut, the sun shining in her face. She groaned.
"It's time to wake up Treasure-chan." Shin said kindly to the child who was still half asleep.
".........Already papa-san.........?"
"Yes dear."
She rolled over and pulled the covers over her head. "Just five more minutes....."
Shin sighed and got up. "Only if you don't ask for five more after this five is up."
He left her sleeping in the bed and went into his bathroom to change into his Kaioshin uniform. He took his time so that Treasure could have a bit more sleep.
When he came out of the bathroom she was still in his bed, laying still. He shook her again. "Come on Sleeping Beauty, it's time to arise!" He said, taking her blankets away before she could object again. He knew her game. She'd try several things to get in a few more minutes of sleep. The child could easily sleep 16 hours at a time! That could not be that healthy.
"........fine.....fine......", she grumbled, getting up ever so slowly. She didn't appear to happy to be getting up, as always. However, after about 10 minute of being awake she would snap into her normal self.
Slowly she slid off of the tall bed, landing on her hands and knees on the floor. Leisurely she got up and started to walk off to her room to get some clothes. Shin allowed her this as he headed downstairs to find out where everyone had gone.
When he had reached the second floor he stopped as he heard a distinct shriek in the distance. *Shit!*
He had left his daughter.
Alone.
*SHIT!!!*
He cursed at himself as he literally flew up the steps at break neck speed, trying to reach her before something got to her. Down the hall he ran, a cold sweat trickling down his cheek.
He came to a halt right in front of her bedroom door. All was dead silent, the only noise being his deep breaths. He paused for a fraction of a second, unsure of if he wanted to see what laid behind her doors. Not wanting to face the truth............
Kaioshin yanked open the door. He gasped.
The first thing that was noticed was the blood on the walls. It was something that you could virtually not miss. It was painted all over the walls and on the ceiling. He knew it was blood; the room reeked of it.
Shin was mesmerized with the crimson lettering on the walls. He could not take his eyes away from it.
"Die Kaioshin!!!"
"Sin!"
"Shame!"
"Disgrace!"
"Sickening!"
Dai Kaioshin felt his breathing speed up even more. His eyes were widening without him even realizing it. His jaw quivered.
The words were all over the room, written obscenely over and over again. Shin's knees gave out on him and he sank to the floor. However, there was nothing better their either.
"ACK!!!" Shin screamed, caught by surprise by this new piece of evidence.
A dead Earthling maid.
Obviously the source of the blood.
He then saw his daughter as well. She had tears streaming down her eyes, her tiny hands plastered over her mouth. She was barely standing, her body shaking violently with fear.
Seeing her there made Shin try to mentally gather his strength. He needed to be strong for her. He pulled himself to his feet slowly, his body feeling like it was a ton of lead. He placed his hand on Treasure's shoulder.
She did not seem to notice this however. With his shaking fingers, Kaioshin tried to shake her out of her trance.
"It is because of me, isn't it?" She said, not truly directing her comment to her father.
Shin did not like the look that was in her eyes. He tried to push her out of the room, but she didn't seem to budge.
A little bit more freaked out now, Kaioshin asked, "What......what is because of you?"
He stared into her dilated eyes. There seemed to be currently no life there at all.
"I am the disgrace. The shame. It is me, right?"
Shin could not reply. He hadn't thought of that. In fact, he had not thought of the ancient Kaioshin law against his daughter since she was born. He had been too enthralled with her wonderful being in general. Could it be...........
"That's what I thought." She replied, then fainted dead away.
