Need A Hand?
Myuka slowly woke up with Danielle and Yoru looming over her like fly's. She felt nervous the way they were staring at her. She slowly began to sit up and found her wrist and feet tied by a rope.
"What the hell is going on here?" Myuka asked in a near shout struggling to get out of the ropes. "Why are my wrist and legs bound by rope?"
"Who are you? Where have you done with Myuka!?" Yoru asked with a glare.
"What in lord's name are you talking about? I am Myuka!" Myuka said.
"LIAR!" Danielle said poking Myuka's forehead.
"Prove it!" Yoru hissed with hands on her hips with her legs braced apart.
"What is there to prove? I say who I say I am!" Myuka shouted squirming around like a worm trying to get out of the ropes.
"A cat demon saying she is a human girl! Ha! I think not!" Yoru said in Myuka's face.
Then Myuka remembered how she had transformed into a demon last while she was taking a bath. She would have thought that if she went to sleep that she would change back to her regular human self. It would seem she was mistaken.
"Look here you! I am Myuka! Ask Cristy if you don't believe me!" Myuka hissed at her.
Danielle and Yoru turned to Cristy who was drinking a hot cup of tea. She didn't bother to tell them that Myuka was a cat demon, she thought they should figure it out on their own.
"Is she telling the truth?" Yoru asked Cristy.
"Yes." Cristy replied taking a sip of her tea with a calm expression.
They turned back to Myuka and stared at her for a couple of seconds and as though seeing her for the first time their eyes widen in recognition.
"Oh . god . Myuka we are so sorry." Yoru gasped as her fingers stumbled a little untying the ropes around Myuka's wrists and legs.
"Its ok. I should have known I was going to be tied up by two of the members of my group." Myuka said sarcastically rubbing her wrists.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Danielle asked.
"Well because I didn't find out till last night when I was taking a bath." Myuka said eyeing Cristy.
"Well you look a whole lot different." Yoru said as Danielle nodded in agreement.
"Well since we got that settled we have to hurry and find a fifth member for the group." Myuka said getting up and heard her stomach growl in protest. Myuka felt her cheeks burn with embarrassment.
"Do you have anything to eat?" *sweat drop* Myuka asked with a nervous laugh rubbing the back of her head with her right hand.
"Umm yeah . I'll go and make us some breakfast." Danielle said and walked over to the kitchen and started making eggs, bacon and toast *yummy *. *~*~*~*One hour later, now in the forest outside of Y&D's home*~*~*~* "Tell me again why we are in the forest?" Yoru asked in a annoying tone of voice.
"For the last time. I sensed something watching us out here." Myuka said squinting her eyes and scanning the area.
"Are you sure you weren't sensing your hunger?" Danielle asked in a teasing tone.
"I'm sure!" Myuka said while restraining herself from slipping her hands around Danielle's neck and choking her. * Nerve popping out of her forehead *
There it was again! Myuka felt the spark of spirit energy from one of the trees on her left. She jerked her head to the tree behind Cristy; something was getting ready to lunge itself at her. Myuka ran towards Cristy shoving Danielle away in the process and pushed her to the ground before the dagger could bury itself in its target's side. The shadow figure in front of her disappeared faster than it arrived. Myuka eyes widen as the piercing pain in her side began to increase causing her to buckle down to her knees. Her hand shook as she eased the crooked shape blade from her side. She wasn't aware that Danielle was at her side when she collapsed to her knees. Her attention was on the agonizing pain penetrating every nerve of her body. Myuka looked over to where Cristy was and found her staring at her with wide eyes. A smile tugged at the edge of her lips.
"Oh no-Myuka don't move! This dagger it-it had poison sealed at the tip."
"Can you tell what kind of poison it is?" Yoru asked kneeling next to Danielle.
"Hmm . I think it's E.O.W poison. I can tell by the smell," Danielle said holding the dagger in front of her face examining it. "Myuka should be able to survive it. Her demon blood should cancel out some of the foul liquid's effects."
"And what are some of the effects?" Yoru asked growing nervous at the sight of more blood stream down Myuka's side.
"Fever, headache, shivers, and-." Danielle hesitated for a second and sighed and whispered. "Death."
"But since Myuka is a demon and all, the poison won't-won't kill her. So she should just get a headache and a fever right?" Yoru asked with her hands shaking a little.
"Yes. I hope. Now come on and help me get Myuka to her feet." Danielle said lifting Myuka's arms over her shoulder and hauling her up to her side. Danielle turns her gaze to where Cristy stood with her head bowed. She knew Cristy blamed herself for Myuka's wound.
"It's all my fault! I should have sensed it! I should have been more cautious! I feel so stupid!" She shouted clenching her fists at her sides.
"It's not your fault, We didn't know there was something here either. So don't blame yourself." Yoru said appearing beside Cristy.
"Yeah but-." Cristy didn't finish when Yoru raised her hand in silence.
"Enough, it's not your fault! End of discussion. Now lets go and give Danielle a hand with Myuka." Yoru said and walked towards Danielle with Cristy following behind.
They were in D&Y's home tending Myuka's wound when someone knocked at the door. Yoru slowly got up from her position at Myuka's side and went to answer the door. She looked though the peek whole and saw her dear friend Yukari. Yoru opened the door wide and welcomed Yukari inside with a smile.
"So what have you been up to?" Yukari asked looking around and left her gaze lingering on the red haired cat demon passed out on the couch.
"Oh, not much." Yoru said closing the door as her friend made her way towards Myuka.
Yukari walked over to the demon never taking her gaze off the bandage at her side. She saw Danielle lay a damp cloth on the demon's forehead. Yukari looked over to the chair and saw a girl sitting there with her head bowed with her hands folded in her lap. Her raven black hair went down to her waist and had two streaks of red in front. Her halter-top and pants went great together.
"Oh hey Yukari." Danielle said.
"Who's that?" Yukari asked nodding her head towards the girl on the couch.
"Oh. That's Myuka. She convinced us to enter the tournament." Danielle said to Yukari.
"I thought you weren't interested." Yukari said.
"She can be very persuasive." Danielle said with a weak smile.
"What's up with her side?" Yukari asked pointing to her side.
"She got injured." Yoru said with a shake of her head.
Yukari nodded her head and knew that her friend didn't want to tell her how she got hurt. She looked over at the girl who sat at the chair across from Myuka.
"Who's the girl in the chair?" Yukari asked with her gaze lingering on the girl.
"Oh that's Cristy she's a member of the group." Danielle said.
"She looks a little young to be entering the tournament." Yukari said eyeing the girl's appearance.
"Looks can be deceiving." Cristy said lifting her gaze up to Yukari.
"It would seem. Your eyes are a chilly red. Interesting. Your eyes tell me everything I need to know about yourself." Yukari said with a smirk.
"That's nice to know." Cristy said with a calm expression.
Myuka stirred catching everyone's attention. She started mumbling something that they could barely make out into words. Her arms and legs flailed about. Her hair kept changing from red to blue as though it was fighting to claim Myuka natural hair color. She started screaming in pain then. Her black cat ears twitched with each scream Myuka produced. Her nails grew short then long sharp then dull. Danielle started to panic. In all her demon life she had never seen something like this happen before. Sweat started to break out on her body. Yoru ran to Myuka's side and tried to grab hold of her arms to calm her but instead of calming her Myuka's left arm swung around and struck her square in the face causing Yoru to fly backwards into a wall. Danielle ran to her friend and found her unconscious.
"Yukari could you give me hand with Myuka? I just need her to stop thrashing about like a wild animal," Danielle explained. "Cristy take Yoru into her room and lay her on the bed. Make sure to put some ice on her on her right cheek where Myuka struck her. The ice is in the fridge on the very top."
"O.k." Cristy said and went over to Yoru and hauled her up to her side and headed for Yoru's room.
Danielle and Yukari managed to tie Myuka up with rope. Danielle didn't know what else to do but to wait and watch. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Myuka's minds view*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Myuka was in her human self was on her knees and hands with her head bowed gasping for air. Everything around her was dark; the ground she was on was like a mirror the ground's reflection showed her demon self-grinning. Myuka was once again struck by red lighting on her back. In the mirror ground her demon self was struck by blue lighting in the same spot as her human self.
"Why won't you go away!?" Myuka screeched at her demon self in the mirror ground. The demon girl's grin widened making Myuka's human self-angrier.
"Fool! I can't leave even if I wanted to. I will always be a part of you whether you like it or not!" The demon girl said and began to laugh that echoed through the dark place.
"How can you be a part of me? How can you?" Human Myuka asked her demon self.
"Do you not remember our dream? We were created to be only a weapon of destruction we could kill anyone we wanted to," Myuka's demon self said and paused for a second and continued. "Did you actually believe that you were a normal go lucky girl? Ha, don't make me laugh! Just accept what you are."
"I-I know that I wasn't normal! All I wanted in life was to be normal! I want to go back to my friends and my family! Is that to much to ask?" Myuka shouted at her demon self and broke into tears.
"Friends? Family? You have no family! All those memories of friends and family were memories of another. Not Yours! Susan was just a robot that was programmed to make sure you were "accidentally" sucked into the VCR." Myuka's demon self said with a smirk.
"You're lying!" Myuka's human self screeched at her demon self.
"Am I? Why would you lie? Myuka I am you," Her demon's self-voice soften then. "I know how much this hurts you but it's the truth."
"Why do you tell me thi-this? Why now?" Myuka's human self asked drying the tears from her eyes with the palms of her hands.
"When we got stabbed in the side by that poisoned dagger it caused our souls to separate. As you can see in the mirror floor," Demon Myuka said nodding her head at the floor. "Well by separating our souls the demon part and human part fight to claim one body. And if this continues our soul will cease to exist."
"What do we need to do to be one again?" Myuka's human self asked.
"Accept me." Demon Myuka said simply holding her hand out.
"I-." Human Myuka couldn't finish her answer. She wanted so badly to accept her demon self but couldn't bring herself to do it. She felt ashamed of herself. She was acting like some scared little Kitten! She shook her head and said those words that would help her life right now and become better.
"I accept you. Now and forever." Myuka's human self said as the demon Myuka and human Myuka began to glow with bright light. The two slowly joined together with smiles on their faces. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~End of View~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Danielle was so relieved when Myuka's eyes opened that she collapsed to her knees. Myuka had been asleep for hours. She was back in her human form. Myuka had red tips at the bottom of her hair. Myuka's eyes flashed yellow than went back to violet. Danielle found the change a little surprising. Yoru had awakened an hour ago with a temper thrashing about saying that she was going to kill Myuka. Yoru was so pissed off Danielle, Cristy, and Yukari had to hold her back from the sleeping Myuka. It was so hard to hold back Yoru that Yukari had no choice but to knock Yoru unconscious. Danielle gasped when Yoru dropped to the ground. Yukari kept telling Danielle she had no choice, Danielle went hysterical. Yukari dragged Yoru back into her bed in time to see Myuka open her eyes. "Ohh my! Hello?" Myuka said aloud looking around and saw a girl with light blue hair and brown eyes walk out of Yoru's room. Danielle was at Myuka's side with a wash cloth. "Finally you're awake! You look better." Danielle said with a smile. "Thanks. Umm.where's Cristy and Yoru?" Myuka asked Danielle. "There busy at the moment." Danielle said.
"Oh. Well can I ask a favor?" Myuka asked.
"Yes?" Danielle asked.
"Would you please UNTIE ME!" Myuka said in a near shout struggling against the rope around her body. "Oh!" Danielle said a little embarrassed and began to untie Myuka.
As soon as Myuka was untied she jumped from the couch and was in front of Yukari in seconds.
"How would you like to join my group for the Dark Tournament?" Myuka asked Yukari taking hold of her hands. "Umm....sure." Yukari said dumfounded. She was amazed at how fast this girl Myuka moved. Myuka's smiled so brightly she didn't notice Yoru marching out of her room with Cristy trying to hold her back.
"MYUKA!!!!!"Yoru roared with her face red with anger.
"Yoru? What's wrong?" Myuka said right before she dodged Yoru's punch. Yoru chased Myuka around the house for five hours straight. Myuka kept shouting over her shoulder that the fever made her. When finally Yoru accepted Myuka's apology the two sat down panting for air. Once Myuka got all the facts about Yukari The group began to train in the woods.
Myuka slowly woke up with Danielle and Yoru looming over her like fly's. She felt nervous the way they were staring at her. She slowly began to sit up and found her wrist and feet tied by a rope.
