Wei§ Kreuz: The Angel Chronicles-- Takatori Blood Reigns
Chapter Eight: Angels arent easily replaced
Yumi turned her head to the side as she felt the strike of Crawford's hand across her face. She was held upright by a rope tying her hands behind her, keeping her facing them. She just glared at him with her cold eyes. He just stared right back at her, the smirk that made her blood ran cold across his handsome features as he held her closer by her torn shirt, "....I see you still enjoy your daily flagging I gave you..."
Yumi spat in his face, causing him to casually wipe it away. "I see you're still as tasteless as ever..." she said with hate in her voice. She loathed Brad Crawford with all the spirit she held in her body.
Crawford smirked, his eyes twinkling like black cobalt, "....Well... should I make your life more hellish," he crooned, gently caressing her upper body underneath her torn shirt, "By telling my naughty little blue kitten the truth about her family?"
Yumi's blood went cold as she heard him say that one line, ".....what do you mean?" she asked, her eyes radiating with shock as she glared at her captor.
Crawford smirked, "Well... the orphaned girl does not know what to do with the news....? Well...." He smirked as he began to beat her several more times, explaining her past as he beat her. "The truth is... you were given to us as a reward by your 'Father'....but the truth is... Reiji Takatori is not your father at all... the one who you witnessed die before your eyes.... is yours and Mamoru's real father... the one you were lovingly called... Persia..." he smirked as he said this, "Too bad you and your twin brother couldn't have really truly known your father before his untimely death..."
Yumi screamed, taking each and every beating Crawford gave her, her mind going through flashbacks as she remembered seeing Shuichi...no...her father....die in her arms... then seeing Omi... her mother...then seeing flashbacks of her childhood... of Hirofumi....Masafumi.....her mother....and a young boy she always used to see, just slightly younger than her....Mamoru...... Omi.....?
* * *
In an opposite room, the other members of Schwartz were standing guard, Schuldich smirked, standing up stiffer, "....They've come for her...we have them."
Farfaello smirked, licking his dagger, "I want to let the blood flow free...." Before any of them could say a word, the glass of a nearby window broke, and in flew all four members of Wei§, arriving with a vengeance.
Ken saw Farfaello standing to the side, and with a scream, releasing the bukaretsu, he yelled with fury, "WHERE IS SHE?!?!?!?!?!"
He easily dodges, taking a swing himself, "She's enjoying a fun time with Crawford... the true owner of the kitten..." he smirked, enjoying the verbal taunting and the reaction he was getting from Ken.
Ken's eyes went wide, and he slashed at him one more time, and took off down the hall. Omi and the others followed close behind him, their mission to save Yumi, their avenging Angel; pushing them on.
* * *
Yumi stared at Crawford with such hate in her eyes, "....You wouldn't dare harm my brother... or the others.... You have me now Brad....do with me what you wish....just leave them alone..."
Crawford shook his finger at her, "Tsk tsk tsk.... I'm afraid I cannot do that my dear Yumi..." he said, accenting the 'Dear' with sarcasm as he ran his finger down her bruised and bleeding cheek, "....You see... they will be dead... as well as you eventually." He ran his hand down the side of her leg, standing dangerously close to her body, "...Mr. Takatori didn't give you over to me for just....anything...." he said with a sneer, his lips curled with the most evil grin.
Yumi shrank back as far as she could in fear, then when Crawford came close enough, she rammed her knee up in between his legs to where his most sensitive spot rested in her direct sights.
He doubled over in pain, glaring up at the bound and helpless girl. She just glared right back at him, a small smirk rising on her lips, "Gomen yo... Crawford-kun.... It just ...slipped..."
He felt his anger begin to grow inside the pit of his stomach, and with a hand raised, he began to beat her harder, his anger growing with every punch, kick, and slash.
Yumi felt her strength begin to slip more and more, each strike bringing on more and more pain. She was beginning to find it hard to keep her eyes open. She could see Shuichi in her blurred vision, his smile gazing down at the young girl. She thought to herself, .oO(Oji-san....ie....poppa....gomen ne.....I failed...)
Crawford smirked, "Now die, wench...." He then stopped, feeling as if a strong line of wire held his hand from striking down on Yumi. He looked behind him, "...Kisama..."
Balinese stood there, his anger and rage apparent as he saw what happened to Yumi, "...We want our Kitten back!!!" he shouted in anger, his eyes boreing a hole in the forehead of Crawford, wanting nothing more then to break him limb from limb.
Crawford looked around him, only to see that all four members of Wei§ surrounded him, all looking at him in return with rage and fury in their eyes. He laughed, "Do you really think you'll want to destroy her?" he then looked over at Omi, "and you...Mr. Mamoru Takatori... do you really think that you would kill your remaining family member left? She is your sister after all..."
Omi closed his eyes, his anger seething as Yohji tried to hold him back, unable to fight the pain and rage that roiled inside him, "Kisama.......KISAMA!!!!! ONEE-CHAN WA HANASHTE!!!!"
As outnumbered as he was, he smirked, "Flies should know their lives are short and they don't think...." He spoke as a riddle. Before the others could realize what was being said, gunfire rained down in the room where they all were standing, and they all tried to dive for cover, hearing Schuldich's evil laughter rain down on them all.
"Damn!" Ken yelled as he ducked another barrage of fire from Schuldich, "We're trapped here!!!"
Omi dashed to miss another swipe of Farfaello's knife, and felt the striking pain of a stray bullet hit him straight in the thigh; causing him to fall to the ground, clutching his leg in pain.
Yohji saw this, and tried to make it as soon as he could to Omi's aide, "OMI!!!" he yelled in fear.
Yumi, who had been secretly working minute after minute to loosen her bonds, felt them snap away as she noticed Schuldich begin to aim his gun at Omi and take aim. Without thinking, she ran towards Omi's form and with a scream she yelled, "OMI!!! HABUNAI!!" , As she pushed Omi out of the way to safety, she felt the bullet penetrate her lower side, blood spurted from her mouth, she fell to the ground, motionless in front of Omi.
Omi just stared in shock, the whole moment going in slow motion, as he saw Yumi run in front of him, the sound of the bullet came as a slow ricochet, and the image of her body collapsing in front of his eyes caused them to flash in fear. He fell to his knees, his voice high pitched and etched with fear, "ONEE-CHAN!!!!!!!!!"
Ken couldn't believe his eyes as well, the pit of his stomach falling like the bottomless ravines, his heart wrenched with intense pain and sorrow.... He tried to run for them and grabbed onto Yumi with his strong arms, "YUMI!!! YUMI!!"
Schuldich was going to go again for the group, but Crawford yanked him away, indicating with no words that this was the mode for escape, and that they would kill her another day. The four members of Schwartz disappeared into the shadows, the members of Wei§ not even paying any attention to what was going on.
She looked up, a small trail of blood fell from the corner of her mouth, as she smiled weakly at Omi and Ken, ".....Ken-kun.... Omi-kun....." she looked at Aya and Yohji standing nearby, ".....Yohji-kun......Aya-kun......Gomen ne... watashi..."
Omi, crying very hard, started screaming, "Why Yumi-chan??? WHY did you do it???"
Yumi coughed a little, "Omi-kun... gomen ne.. watashi... I had to protect you all... I had to....." she coughed hard, "I had to protect... my family... Persia.... Otou-san... would have wanted it that way..." she felt the tears well down her cheeks, "....I had to protect you... Aya-kun... Yohji-kun... Ken..." she then looked to Omi, her eyes wet with unshed tears, "And you... Omi-kun......I had to protect you....."
Omi just sat there, and held Yumi as tight as he could trying to help stop the blood from leaving her body, his eyes full of tears that would not stop falling from his face, "....onee...chan...." he whispered shakily.
Yumi coughed up blood again, gasping for air, "Omi-kun..watashi no kawaii ototou...sumimasen.... Demo... Reiji.. Oji-san... hid it... from otou-san...Persia... and us... I had to protect you all.. otou-sama loved you .... He loved you all... as I do...I...." She gritted her teeth, "Gomen.. minna... ai shiteru.... Ai shiteru..." she began to cry, her body shaking with the loss of blood and the sadness that racked her body.
Yumi felt her body grow weaker.. as Ken grasped her tighter in his arms, working to stop the blood flows with his jacket. Omi was crying even harder, feeling as helpless as a little boy, "Nee-chan.... NEE-CHAN!! No.. NO NEE-CHAN!! You can't leave us!!" Omi flung his body over hers, "A MEMBER OF WEI§ DOESN'T GIVE UP!!!"
Yumi smiled softly, her blood-stained hand gently touching his cheek, "Omi...daijoubu... I saved you... poppa would be proud... I saved you all..." her eyes gazed deep into Ken's, his own eyes welled up with furious tears, "...Ken..."
Ken held her tightly his body beginning to rack with sobs of pain, "Yumi.... you can't leave us... you can't.. you can't leave me...!" he leaned his head down and kissed her with all he had, his lips trembling as he released the slow, tender kiss, "...Ai shiteru... Yumi... Ai shiteru..."
Yumi, hearing the only words she ever wanted to hear from Ken Hidaka. Feeling finally peaceful, let herself be consumed by the awaiting darkness.
