Episode 3: Heartless
"I am here to capture that girl!" She screamed and everyone was surprised. She wiped off blood from her chin and ran into the storm.
"Koori-ana!" Aya stretched out her hand and she transformed into Ceres.
She paused with dotted eyes, "Eh?"
Koori-ana pulled out her arms and there was a small long blade appeared. Toya was astonished. She hit the girl's head with the end of the blade and she fainted into Koori-ana's arms. Being in the storm injured both of them and she was the only one who could withstand it. There was more blood streaming down her head it slid down to her right eye. She didn't feel any pain.
"Koori-ana..." Aya had tremble eyes and headed towards her.
"Don't get near or I'll kill her!" She threatened and she stopped. Koori-ana stood up and held the girl on her arms. She turned to walk away.
"Why are you working under Mikagi?" Aya asked with tears bursting out, "I don't want to be your enemy!"
She stopped, "But I don't want to be your friend." They paused. "As you see, I am dangerous," She pointed out, "I am protecting Aki, so don't you worry... But if I am protecting him, I must be your enemy. That is what I am ordered." She walked away.
"Being under Mikagi doesn't mean you will get what you want!" She screamed and she didn't pay attention. She suddenly vanished.
Aya had tears on her cheeks and looked down, "What's coming to Mikagi? Making others to work for him..."
"She's strange... she has the same power as me..." Toya looked down at his knife and his curiosity grew.
Koori-ana entered Yagami's office and he was shocked when he saw her bleeding. "Here's the girl!" She showed the girl and Yagami looked at her.
He opened a room and ordered her to place the girl on the bed. He looked at her; "You should check your wounds."
"I am fine," She refused and walked out, "I am going to check Aki."
He looked at her move; "You don't feel pain, do you?"
She entered in Aki's room cleaning her head with the towel. Aki turned to the door and saw her blood all over her, "Koori-ana?" He ran over to her, "Did you fight with my sister? Did you hurt her?"
"I did not fight your sister," She sat down to the sofa with an unconcerned look.
"Painful, isn't it?" He fisted and she looked at him.
"I don't feel any pain..." She replied solemnly as usual. Aki was shocked. "What's more painful is your heart..." She added.
"Heart?" He questioned.
"No one will hurt you unless they hurt your heart," She pointed out, "But since I don't have a heart, I won't feel pain or hurt!"
"What are you talking about?" He started screaming, "Everyone has a heart! Including you!"
She looked at him, "Does this show you that I don't have a heart?" He looked at her and saw her thrusting her sharp blade to her right knee.
His eyes widened immensely shocked, "You?"
"Yes, I don't feel pain even though I am doing it myself..." She admitted looking down, "But I don't care about that at all." The blade on her palm vanished and there was blood dripping down from her knee. She leaned back and looked at her wound when she felt that Aki was near. "Aki?"
"Even if you say it a hundred times, you do have a heart..." Aki wrapped a bandage on her right knee carefully.
"What are you doing?" She tried to move her leg away but he wouldn't let her.
"Let me do this. This way I can feel I am protecting my dear sister..." He had tears and she looked shocked. After he finished bandaging, he looked at her; crying; seeing Aya smiling at him, "Aya..."
Aya was in the bathroom taking a shower and she was shocked. She heard Aki saying her name, "Aki?"
The voice was calmer than before. She smiled looking down; "I missed that voice..."
She stopped and looked surprised; "I can feel he that he has calmed down, different from before..." Her eyes trembled, "Aki..."
Suddenly she saw a vision of Koori-ana in front of her eyes and snapped, "Koori-ana?" She sobbed and started crying, "Thank you... Thank you so much Koori-ana..."
She fell to her knees, "Thank you for comforting Aki..."
"Heart..." Koori-ana said to her self as she leaned on the sofa looking up at the ceiling as Aki leaned against her the side of her leg, sleeping calmly. "I don't have a heart..." She corrected and accidentally touched his head.
She looked down and saw him, "Aki?" He looked calmer than before. She hesitated to touch the back of his head. She calmed down and stroked him like a cat. She kind of liked it.
The door suddenly was widely opened by Wei and there was Yagami standing beside him. He stopped when he saw them. Koori-ana didn't realize they were there. "Aki?" She turned and saw them. He entered.
"You look like as if you are quite intimate with Aki..." He pointed out looking down at them.
"What do you want?" Her voice was very deep, "Another mission?"
"We just checked the girl you sent in and she died..." He turned to the door, "Well, I know you are not interested in it!"
She looked shocked, "Why did she die?"
"We fused her with Aya's blood and she dehydrated for some reason," He explained and walked out, "Keep up your work. Don't disobey me."
"Aya's blood?" She questioned curiously looking in front, "Celestial..."
Toya looked down at his knife wondering. He remembered a blade appeared suddenly on her palms just like him. He gripped on the knife and it vanished. "Who is she?" He murmured he never saw someone like himself. Could he be not the only one?
He turned his head as Aya hugged him from behind. "Aya? What's the matter?"
"Nothing! I just feel glad about Aki," She smiled happily leaning on his back, "Koori-ana is with him..."
"Koori-ana?" He repeated and she nodded.
"I need to thank her someday," She turned him around and kissed him.
Koori-ana looked at Aki after she placed him on his bed. She never wanted to care for someone before but for some reason, she wanted to start caring for him in return of his care. But that changed her mind when she realized she is strange and dangerous. She shut her eyes and walked out. She passed by the securities, talking ill about her.
"Look at her. She's scary, don't you think so?" They said to one another whispering. She could hear them well. She paid no attention and entered in Yagami's office.
"Yes?" He looked at her, "Do you want to see the girl you sent in?" She had the same look. Yagami sighed and pressed something that a door opened on it's own. She stepped in and saw a dead girl that lost so much water in her body. Her skin was tight onto her skeleton and she looked mummified. She kneeled down and checked her pulse.
"She's still alive!" She pointed out and Kagami had his eyes opened wide. "What do you mean?" He retorted seriously.
"She's a descendent of celestial, she won't die just like that!" She added and lifted her up to place her back on the bed. She sat down gently at the bedside and faced her right palm above the girl's forehead. She waved her hand around. Her skin looked better than before. She wasn't dehydrated anymore. Yagami was in amazed.
Koori-ana stood up and walked over to Yagami, "She will be conscious in a while so I hope you return her to where she lives." She passed by him.
An evil grin appeared on his face, "What other powers do you have?"
She stopped for a few seconds then walked out. "She's powerful than Toya." He looked proud and had conducted an evil scheme.
She walked back in Aki's room feeling lost. Why did she save the girl? She doesn't care about anyone. "Is it because of him? Mikagi Aki?" She thought looking at Aki and stared at him.
