Chapter 16
I stayed with my grandpa rather than trying to find Chiaki to apologize or to help Miyako with the notices from Kaitou Jeanne and Sinbad. It was safer this way. I hoped. Because in the shadows of my timid mind, a demon's hate had taken root. I couldn't be sure what this thing was willing to do under the premise of 'helping me.'
I jerked up from my grandpa's bed side. Ew. I wiped the dool from the side of my mouth. I must have fallen asleep. That's weird, I never drool. What was that sound? I opened the door and went down the hall way. It became more distiguisable the closer I came. It was the sound of someone crying. But...the hospital seemed to be empty, practically abandoned.
"Hello?" I called, allowing my anxiety to show. The crying didn't stop and no other answer could be heard. I rouned a corner and saw someone with brown hair and..."Maron!" I ran to her and touched her shoulder. "Maron, are you alright?"
She whipped around, her hazel eyes wide and a bit red from crying. I felt sorry for her. She must have been sad from being all alone here. It was big scary acctually when no one else is around. Where was everyone anyway?
"Get away!" She pushed me back. She may as well have hit me with a sledge hammer.
"Maron..." I was shocked. "It's me."
"Leave me alone!" The brown eyed girl turned away and ran from me. "Demon!"
"What where?" I looked around but there was nothing.
"Stay away from me, demon!" Her voice echoed, like her footsteps, down the hall. What? Did she just call me demon?
"Maron!" I ran after her. There had to be a mistake. Before I could reach her, I slammed into something, wait, that's someone. I stepped back and rubbed my nose. "Ouch."
"Yamato." Chiaki grinned at me. I was plesently surprised to see Chiaki, let alone that he called me by my name. I absently noticed he was wearing a doctor's coat like his father.
"Chiaki!" I nearly cried, I was so happy to see someone that I could trust. "I'm so glad to see you. You have to help Maron she's..."
"I'm not worried about Maron." He's blue bangs covered his expression as his hands grabbed my hips.
"Chiaki?!" I blushed as he picked me up and set me on one of those storage room gurneys. Oh my god! This was just like Kagura and Dr. Nagoya. The look in those golden eyes told me naughty things.
"Wait, stop!" I protested as his hands began to reach up my shirt. "I'm not ready for this!" He kissed my neck. My heart was pumping wildly in my chest. Then whispered something in my ear sent a frozen chill down my spine.
"Demon." He said.
Suddenly the world stopped and a thought came to me. Chiaki had gone to the movies, walked me home and kissed me all while I was under the spell of the demon. Was it possible that I wasn't the one he wanted? Or that he wanted me because of what I had become, without really knowing what I was.
In the blink of an eye, Chiaki jumped back and whipped off his doctor coat blinding me for a moment. All at once, Sinbad was before me. He had his boomarang in his hand and swiped at me like it was a dagger.
"AH!" I threw my body back just in time. But I used too much force apparently, because I rolled right off the gurney. "Iittai!" I rubbed my rump.
"Are you okay, Yamato-kun?" The dark haired angel fluttered over me.
"Access." I was so happy to see someone that wasn't scared of me or wanted to hurt me. He smiled, reaching out his small hand and I reached out to him.
The moment our skin touched, the little angel seemed to be electricuted. He jerked and screamed violently and a strange light was zapping around his body. I jerked my hand back and he fell on the floor before me. I couldn't believe it. What happened? More importantly...did I do that?
"Demon." Access mummbled his gold eyes wide with accusation. What? He looked like he had been tossed around by a dulled blender. I did this to him? I'm not, I'm not a demon!
"No, I..." I looked at my hands. My eyes grew wide with shock. My hands were leathery, dark red and my fingernails were claws. I was hyperventalating. This can't be! I'm not... I hid my face with both hands. "AHHHHHhhhhhh!"
I jerked awake, falling off my chair that was propped up next to grandpa's bed. I lie on the floor breathing for a moment as I realized it was all a dream and yet... I stood and took the fan from my pocket.
"I'm done." I gripped the fan in my clenched fist. It hurt Chiaki and was making me think of hurting others. This thing had to go and now! "I don't want you anymore." I tossed the paper fan across the room.
"~You're too late.~" That once soft voice was course and cruel. The fan flipped into the air before I could blink."~You're mine now.~" The fan unfolded and a blinding light struck my eyes.
"Wha..." I took a step back trying to guard with my arm but...Suddenly, I felt weightless. When I opened my eyes, they weren't my eyes anymore.
"Minazuki-san!" Kagura shouted as the door flung open and the light clicked on. I blinked. I felt disoriented something happened.
"Kagura-san." I said, barely audible.
"What are you doing?!" The secretary, followed by a nurse rushed into the room.
I didn't understand, until I saw the cords in my hand. The wires connected to the sensors set to monitor grandpa's vitals and the IV hose were all in my white knuckled grip. My hand threw the cords down.
Then my controlled body grabbed the IV rack and threw it at the two. The secretary managed to get himself and the nurse out of the way as it clattered on the floor with a loud clanging sound. My body ran past them and straight out of the hospital. Stop it! I screamed inside of myself. Then I heard my voice.
"~You ungreatful little fool. You can't do anything without me. I gave you the power you wanted. It's not my fault you can't do anything right. Now I'll show you what it means to take what you want.~"
NOOOooooo! This can't be happening. This isn't real. Wake up Yamato. Wake up! On the street in front of the hospital my eyes caught a glance of Miyako.
"There he is, Father!" She pointed at me. Huh? "Iinchou," she came up to me followed by her father, Harukawa, Natsuda, Akita and Fuyuta. "I'm glad we found you. Look I'm sorry to tell you but the notices from Kaitou Jeanne and Kaitou Sinbad are targeting you. We just figured it out and..."
"~So,~" My body controled by the demon smiled. "~They're coming.~"
"Don't worry Minazuki-kun," Harukawa told me. "We'll protect you."
"~I don't need protection!~" I heard the hospital doors open.
"Yamato-san!" A doctor and two nurses were following Kagura. My body took off like a shot, while the others were distracted. "Stop him!" The secretary shouted. Great just great, now I'm a criminal. I'm being chased by the police and soon by two mysterious theives.
Why are Kaitou Jeanne and Sinbad after me in the first place? Wait. Everytime I was possessed by a demon Jeanne or Sinbad would show up and take it away. Access, when you were talking about god's servants...were you talking about them?
Hard to think of theives as servants of God, but I was willing to believe just about anything that would help me out of this situation. If only there was some way to reach them. If I could scream. If I could just stop myself!
I blinked with surprise, because as if the demon had listened to me, my body stopped. My eyes looked to an old broken down church. What...what is this? My body walked without my will past the decrepit doors.
My body continued, till I reached the center of the room. I was surrouned by old wood, cob webbed candle sticks and years of settled dust. My feet stepped into the moon light that streamed through the only intact stained glass window. The scene in the colored tiles depicted demons, angles and the sins of man. Why? Why did it come here? It's condemned.
"~Demons aren't just born you know.~" The course voice of the demon spoke through me. I didn't think the demon would want to talk to me anymore. But it's tone of voice made me think this demon needed someone to listen. "~You must become a demon.~"
I had the feeling that this place held memories for this person. Demons aren't just born... I tried and tried but I couldn't think of why anyone would want to become a demon.
"~We have our reasons.~" the demon said through me as my body knelt.
My fingers brushed some dust off of a panel on the flooring. Are you looking for something? I waited to see. The floor board was loose and came free easily. Underneath was a small ceramic doll. The head was ceramic anyway and it was cracked, one of it's cheeks was broken up to the painted eyebrow.
The little dress that dangled from it's neck was a bit torn. It's dark hair was matted, but still in the rough shape of braides. Was this...you're doll? My hand touched the dark matted hair of the old doll.
"~This was my mother's hair.~" I was shocked only to be shocked again.
"There you are." I heard Sinbad's voice behind me. I was almost disappointed to see him. I was relieved that he had come to save me, but I was starting to become interested in this demon's history.
"~Bless me father, for I have sinned.~" My hands cradled the doll to my chest. "~It has been seventy eight years since my last confession.~"
"What?"
"~I want to start over.~" I stood slowly and turned around to face the light blue haired theif. "~This will be my vessel.~" My hand touched my chest. No! I can't be like this for the rest of my life.
"I can't allow that." Sinbad brought out his boomarang.
"Hold it!" Kaitou Jeanne echoed from the rafters. "This one's mine."
