Chapter Nine: What Do I Do?
At first, nothing seemed strange. He strode out into the lit room calmly. I was overrun with happiness.
"Shuichi!" I called happily.
But for some reason, he didn't answer. He didn't even move.
I looked over at Sapphire, who seemed to be enjoying what was happening. She snapped her fingers and immediately he was at her side.
"Whoever invented mind control is a genius." Sapphire cooed, stroking Shuichi's hair.
"WHAT?" I screamed, so loud I think the room shook.
She just smirked. "Well, he wouldn't help me on his own free will."
"Why you evil, cruel, b****!"(Hyacinth doesn't swear, but think about it. Doesn't this seem like the proper time?)
Sapphire took a break from her smug complexion to flash me an icy glare.
"Kurama!" She screamed.
"Yes, master." He droned. It didn't sound like his voice at all.
"Kill that wretched creature. She's hurting my eyes." Sapphire moaned, pointing to me.
"Whatever will please you." He turned to face me, and pulled a rose from his hair.
What is that for? It's just a flower...I thought curiously, until it transformed into a beautiful long green vine.
Before I had time to register this, he launched it at me. I leapt out of the way just before contact and it slammed against the floor, causing chunks of concrete to go flying.
"Wow." I said, very surprised. I quicky jumped out of the way again as he launched.
I took off sprinting, around the room, trying to dodge the strange vine. But he was much faster than me. Okay, now what do I do? There's nothing, absolutely nothing I know that can fix this...
HEY, wait a minute...
*FLASHBACK*
(This was the hint I was talking about for all of you who were wondering)
"Um, um, mind control?" I asked curiously.
"Oh yeah, it was something like, a true confession of the heart will cleanse a person's mind. And if that doesn't work, You have to show proof of it." She shrugged. "I never really understood that one..."
END
A true confession of the heart will cleanse a person's mind...
I quickly jumped behind a tall stone pillar, gasping desperately for breath.
Man, he is fast!! I rubbed my legs softly, which were aching like crazy. My healing was interrupted as the pillar exploded, casting chunks of rocks everywhere. Needless to say, I took off running again.
A true confession of the heart...
As I dived behind another pillar, Sapphire's evil voice echoed through the room...
"Why don't you just stop? No matter what you do, no matter how fast you run, he will not stop until what I asked of him is completed!" He cruel laughter filled the air.
The heart...
As I wiped sweat off my forehead, I had another idea. Why don't I just use my telepathic powers? They should be of some use...
But I knew in my heart that I couldn't. Even if he was under mind control, I could never hurt him in any way. I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
Confession...heart...
OH MY GOD.
THAT CONFESSION?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?
Not that confession...anything but that confession...
There must be another way...
But as I peered around the pillar cautiously and could see Shuichi approaching fast, I knew that I had to do it.
For his sake.
For my sake.
For the world's sake.
My thoughts were interrupted as this pillar exploded also, casting me aside roughly, hitting the ground hard.
As I opened my eyes, and saw Shuichi standing over me, a look of malice on his face, I knew it was time.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes once again.
I had no idea how this was going to turn out, but it was my last card. Nothing else to do...
Here we go...
