Chapter Six
Kaede grinned and stepped over Momiji, who was still out cold on the floor. She walked closer to Kusanagi with long strides. He stared at her, without taking his eyes off of her. He watched her every move, so she wouldn't have a chance to trick or even deceive him. She was the other Kushinada after all, which meant that she was his enemy. But he had to worry more about her than Momiji, since she was a greater threat. And that she was after Momiji, too.
She started stroke his cheek with her finger, but he jerked his face back, grabbing her arm. "Kusanagi, you used to love it when I touched your face. Or would you rather have my sister do it instead?" she said, glaring at him. "I'm sure you wouldn't mind that, now would you?"
He lifted a brow. "I'm not sure what you're trying to get at, Kushinada, but I won't fall for your tricks. I'm much more stronger than that."
"I know you are," she said with a sultry smile. She stepped closer to him and placed her arms on his biceps. "You were the only one who understood me when I was sad or felt adrift from the whole world. We have a connection, you and me. We're the same like two peas in a pod. It's just too bad that we'll have to kill each other before we actually realize it."
He pushed her away. "We're not the same, Kushinada," he snapped, and moved over to Momiji. "I am not linked to a powerless god as you are."
She darted her eyes at him like daggers. "Susana-oh is my god and a powerful one he is," she hissed, pulling the back of his red jacket. "He has given me the ability to use my Kushinada powers in a way to help Japan overcome it's suffering. He has given me more than the Arigami has ever given you."
He turned to her and said, "The Arigami will overrule Susana-oh. You and Susana-oh cheated the Arigami, and for that we'll make sure you never see your plans come in to action."
"Foolish, Kusanagi, you're just a tool for the Arigami. Once they're done using you, they'll push you off to the side and ignore you," she said. "Trust me on this."
"I would sooner die than to trust an enemy," he said, and pushed her to the side. She fell to the floor, landing hard. He grunted and continued to walk over to Momiji. He bent down and scooped her in his arms with such ease as if she only weigh an ounce. He then turned to Kaede, who had trouble sitting up, due to the stinging pain she felt in her arms and legs. "See, Kushinada? This is why I rather the Arigami over your god. You are helpless against me. I'm the wolf and you're the frightened rabbit with nowhere to go but to its death."
She finally managed to sit up. "Leave my sister here, Kusanagi. She is of no use to you. She's not fully mutated to be the Kushinada yet. She can't even create the Kushinada Pulse."
He smirked. "That may be so, but when she dies, Susana-oh will be killed along with her."
"And so will the Arigami," she pointed out.
"It's a risk we'll take," he said, and opened the kitchen door. "I will see you again, Kushinada. Very soon."
"I'll take that as a promise," she said, and disappeared into the thin air.
Kusanagi grinned. "Don't break it," he whispered, and then took off into the dark forest, filled with unknown dangers that lurked in the shadows of the night.
--
The next day at the TAC building, things were hectic; a little more frantic than usual. Momiji was missing and new Arigami have appeared all over Japan. And not only are the Arigami invading Japan, but also plants that curl into mitamas, like those that are on Kusanagi, are scattered all over the country. Japan is slowly turning into the world that existed 3.5 billion years ago, long before men even breathed a dose of oxygen and way before they walked the land. A country-wide forest.
"Any information on the whereabouts of Momiji?" Yaegashi asked.
"You make it sound like she's lost or something," Kome said, wiping off her gun. "If she was lost, we would be able to find her. But she isn't. She was kidnapped, even though she's not a kid, and then taken somewhere we can't get to. Like another world or something."
He blushed and went back to his typing on the computer. "Sorry, Kome," he said meekly.
She was about to forgive him when someone stepped into the room. They both turned to see Akima standing in the doorway. The smile on her face was obviously forced, but she didn't care. She didn't care if they liked her or not. All she cared about was finding out their plans to defeat the Arigami. Other than that, they were insignificant to her and to the Arigami.
"Hello Kome," Akima said, and then smiled at Yaegashi. "It's been a while since we've last seen each other. I was starting to think you were hiding from me, Yaegashi."
He swallowed hard and pulled on his shirt collar that seemed to be getting tighter every time she batted her eyes and smiled in a flirty way. "I--I wasn't hiding. You jus---just haven't been here t--to see me--I mean, us," he stuttered nervously.
Kome rolled her eyes. She suddenly was irritated--maybe even jealous--over the way he was acting. He was acting like a twelve-year-old in front of a supermodel or something: stuttering, tugging on his shirt, blushing, and other things she didn't want to know about. It didn't surprise her, though. It's not the first time he's ever been like this in front of a pretty girl, and it won't be the last. But the thing that did surprise her was that for some reason, she felt jealous that he never acted like this way over her.
"Yaegashi," Kome said, and stood up. "I'm leaving."
He turned to her with a surprised look on his face. "Where are you going?"
She walked to the door and then said, "I have to look for Momiji. It's my job as a member of the TAC."
"Do you want Akima and me to come with you?" he asked.
She looked at him, considering the thought. But when she saw Akima roll her eyes, she changed her mind and shook her head. "No, that's all right, Yaegashi. I can do it all by myself. You stay here just in case she calls or comes back."
She left, leaving them alone in the room. She wanted to go back in, but her body pulled her away from it. Her mind was set on finding Momiji, but her heart was set on Yaegashi. She couldn't believe it, but it was true. She wanted to stay with him and for them to be together.
She leaned her back against the door and let out a long sigh. "I'm such an idiot," she said to herself, and left down the long corridor in search of her friend.
--
"Akima, stop!" Yaegashi shouted. "Get off of me! Now!"
She was pinning him to the floor by holding his arms down to his sides and straddling his stomach. He tried to push her off, but the weight on his arms and stomach kept him fastened to the floor like glue. He tried to scream, but the pressure on his stomach was too great for him to even let him breathe.
"What are you doing?" he asked in short breaths.
She grinned and lifted a small needle from her pocket. She pushed lightly on the end of it, making a little bit of the liquid inside of it to shoot out. She then poked his skin with it, but it didn't break his skin. She just held it there, threatening him with it.
Yaegashi eyed the needle nervously. "What a-are you gonna do wi--with that?"
"This my dear, Yaegashi, is going to make you tell me everything," she replied with malice in her eyes. "And I assure you that it will."
"You're not really a member of the TAC, are you?" he asked.
She shook her head. "Of course not! A devoted member of the Arigami , such as I, would never stray to something as meaningless as the TAC!"
"The Arigami?" he repeated. "You're with the Arigami?!?"
"Wow, you are the smart one, aren't you?" she said sarcastically. "But I'm afraid that you're not smart enough."
His eyes widened in fear. The thought of her being with the Arigami never crossed his mind. It was actually the farthest from his mind. [But I guess it's always the person you least expect.]
"Now, Yaegashi, you're going to tell me everything the TAC has planned," she said, lightly pressing the needle against his skin. "Or I will inject poison into your veins."
