Chapter 10-
A/N: Ok, Ok, so I said I was not going to update until this weekend… so Kate lied. It is not hurting you is it. I just couldn't take reading all the books, writing the papers and translating stupid sentences like "Mary said she is good at driving a car." in Japanese… brain hurting… must write fan fiction… must…
Anyway- so here is the next chapter- sorry for the wait!
Enjoy!

"SORA!" Matt screamed as he could do nothing but watch as the auburn haired girl fell to the floor with a thud. "Takeru, what did you do to her?"
"Me, dear brother? I did nothing. It was him…" Takeru pointed to the figure that came out of the darkness.
The deep red hair was spiky as the short man showed himself for the first time.
"May I introduce to you, the great and powerful Izumi." Takeru smiled as his partner finally came. "I was worried you wouldn't be here Izzy." The blonde said coming closer to the short man with the menacing eyes. "She was becoming a nuisance…"
"I know. I say everything. You have failed to kill him Takeru. With that I am not pleased." Came the cool and collected voice of the red headed boy.
"Yes, but now that we have her…" Takeru said as he approached Sora's body. Kneeling down he moved closer to push her over so she lied on her back until his body stopped. In mid motion, he froze due to unknown forces.
"I believe you have worn out your usefulness… I am no longer in need of your services. But thank you for all the help you've given me."
"What? Izzy, we had a deal. You promised me I would have Kari and we would be a force to reckon with…" Takeru called out to his once friend.
"I did? I do not ever remember saying anything like that. All I know is that Prince Taichi is on his way to save his friend and this girl. We will kill him when he gets here. I also can get rid of you and your worthless brother here. With the two of you gone, plus the prince… I will be poised to take over our world." Izumi smiled as he, with some unknown force pushed the younger brother off near Matt. "And the added of all bonuses, I have the tool to open up a new world for me to conquer with this… this sad looking girl." Kneeling down next to Sora, Izzy pushed her none to lightly on her back. Taking her chin in his hands, he studied her better.
"Really, the gods thought that such a worthless creature could really stop me? What a joke." He laughed. "Really my dear, you couldn't even save your mother and yourself from the rubbish of society. How can you be worthy of such powers… how can yours be any match for what I was granted?"
"Let her go!" Matt struggled once again seeing Sora in danger. "You can kill me, but please, let the maidens go. I know you also hold another here against her will. They are innocent!" The older blonde tried to reason with the obviously deranged person near Sora.
"You don't seem to understand your position here do you? You are in no place to be ordering me about. In fact I'm merely keeping you all alive until the prince gets here." Suddenly the short man's gaze turned away from the blonde brothers and back towards the girl.
Calmly returning to her side on the floor Izumi began to laugh hysterically.
"You think you can resist my mind control?" He asked kneeling down close to her again. In the short time he had looked away, Sora's body had somehow turned so she was once again on her stomach. Looking closer, he could also make out the slight twitch of her body, indicating she was fighting to awaken.
"I said for you to be a good little girl and stay quiet!" He yelled at her as he grabbed her chin again and pulled her off the floor a ways. "This is precious! She's trying to repress those dark memories… but it's useless."
Suddenly something else caught Izumi's attention and his fixation on seeing Sora's futile attempts to break his control ended.
"It looks like our main guest has finally arrived. You'll all have to excuse me while I go and make sure the prince has a welcome befitting his stature." He smiled evilly as he let Sora's motionless body slump to the cold floor once more.
-
In the world of darkness Sora found herself, she was determined to get out. All around her as figures called out her name, she felt the coldness slowly wrap around her.
Some of the voices were familiar but the one that haunted her most was one she had hoped to never hear ever again.
"Sora! Get your worthless butt down here!" He screamed at her, his voice echoed in the void.
"You're nothing but problems!"
"I told your mother we should have gotten rid of you!"
"Where do you think you're going?"
They came from all sides as the whimpers and screams emerged as well.
"NO!" Sora screamed out in reply to the noise. "NO! I left you behind! I got away from you!" She cried as she slumped down to her knees and began to tear up as her father's voice resonated repeatedly.
If things did not seem bad enough as the sounds grew stronger images began to appear. In darkness one minute, the next it was raining and she found herself standing in front of her house back in Japan.
Standing wide-eyed, she could do nothing as she witnessed her father slap her mother around in the doorway. Near the sidewalk crouched a frightened little girl who was weeping. As Sora approached, she was hesitant to look at the little auburn haired child, because she knew who it was… it was her. She recalled this incident with such clarity it made her shake, just like the little girl.
"She's worthless!" The man yelled after he grabbed the slender woman's arms.
"She's your daughter!" The woman cried in response.
"I didn't want her! And who is to say she is mine? I know you go out after work! How do I know that you're not cheating on me?"
"But I love you!"
"STOP IT!" Sora screamed as she began to run away from the scene. Nevertheless, no matter how much she ran, there was no getting away from the painful memories. Everywhere she ran another memory appeared before her to haunt and confuse her.
"Please, please make it stop! Please!"
-
"Are you sure we're going the right way?" Joe asked in a whisper as he followed Taichi and the few men that had accompanied them.
"I don't know. We have to go somewhere… otherwise we're sitting targets." Tai explained as they made their way down a darkened hallway.
"Highness, there's a locked door over here. I can hear someone on the other side… they seem to be crying." A man told Taichi before they continued their search of the large building.
"Let's have a look, can we pick the lock?" Tai asked hoping that Sora was behind the door and safe.
"Consider it done sir." The guard said as he went to work and like he said it was open in no time.
"Good work, now be careful. Who knows what's really in there."
"Tai let me go first, it could be a trap." Joe insisted as he stepped in front of Tai and slowly opened the door.
Entering the room quietly, he found no guards of any kind standing guard. Looking over to a mass of cushions Joe saw the outline of a woman who was apparently crying. He motioned the all-clear signal to Tai and he continued to walk into the room.
"Excuse me… miss?" Joe started out quietly trying to get the woman's attention.
-
Mimi did not know how long she had been crying when she heard a voice call to her. 'Great, now my mind is playing tricks on me… I'm hearing Joe's voice again…' She sighed and attempted to dry her eyes. She was just so worried about Sora. It seemed like forever since they were separated, and she knew better than to trust Takeru to not hurt her. No one was safe from him.
"Miss!" Came the voice again from the door. "Hello? Miss, are you alright?"
'Wait, I can't be hallucinating this much can I?' She wondered as she slowly began to sit up. Even though she knew to not get her hopes up, she could feel her heart pumping faster as she saw a familiar face, one she had almost given up hope of seeing again.
"MIMI?" Joe stammered seeing the most important person in his life there in front of him. He had slowly worked his way closer so he could see her face perfectly. Yet he could not move. She had been gone for so long… so very long.
"Joe… Joe is that you?" Mimi asked as tears once again began to commence falling.

A/N: I did it again! I guess I am getting more evil ^_^; I don't mean to keep leaving with the cliffhangers… really… but I guess that just adds incentive for you to do your part and make me want to procrastinate! *Review*
