Review!
KatDrama: I like the theme they play for that episode! Why did Macha know? Maybe you'll know in this chapter!
Emotions
It was a hot summer day. Ryu sat on the back porch of his small apartment, and stared out into the bustling city in Japan.
**FLASHBACK**
"Your mother was shot, two nights ago today," said the cat smiling.
**PRESENT**
"She was..," he started saying.
**FLASHBACK**
"Hospital, how can I help you?" asked a dry scratchy voice from the receiver.
"Yes, could you please check if a patient named Shaikya Hiyaki checked in? And if she is, could you tell me why she's in there?" asked Ryuoku frantically. But then realized that he was being stupid. Of course she wouldn't be there. She's not checked in. There's no possible way that-
"Shaikya Hiyaki is checked in," said the scratchy voice; "She was shot in the gut two days ago."
**PRESENT**
"..Gone," he said.
He slowly got up, and walked into his room, closing the door behind him.
**GAME**
Subaru stood alone in the small boat that was slowly making its way down the river of Mac Anu. She remembered back to the days of the crimson knights. That was so long ago. How she'd changed since then..
"What's this? Mail?" she asked herself.
She clicked over to her desktop, and saw that she had one new mail. She opened it. It was subject-less.
It read; "He has been spotted, only briefly; but he has been spotted. Warped, Twisted, Icicle. Go quickly." It was signed with..
"Helba!" Subaru said to herself. She jumped off the boat before it had even reached the dock. She ran to the Chaos Gate, and warped in a flash to the field.
* * *
The front door clicked softly, as someone entered his house. Ryu heard the click from his room, and through the closed door. He had trained himself to hear things like that, in all hours of the night, in case his mom came home before he was asleep. She always closed it softly, so as not to wake him, but Ryu woke up with it anyway. And of someone wanted to close a door that softly, then they must not want to be heard.
He quietly crept over to the porch door, and opened it softly. He walked out side, and saw one thing, a black mini van that did not belong there. The thing that puzzled Ryu the most was that there was a CC Corp. logo on the side of it.
CC Corp! Wasn't that the company his mother worked for? They might be here to talk to him! Ryu walked over to the door and was about to open it, when he heard something that made him freeze in horror.
It was a deep voice. One that reminded Ryu of a horror movie villain. He heard him say, "Come on out, little Hiyaki, don't you want to join your mother?" he asked sinisterly, and then laughed as he prepared a gun to fire a new bullet. One that he planned would taste the warm flesh of a new victim, soon, oh so very soon.
Ryu slumped down to the floor. He was horrified. An intruder was in his house, one that wanted him to die.
* * *
Subaru stood in the icy one-room tavern of a dungeon. It was empty, but yet still menacing. She took a step forward.
Macha watched Subaru from the entrance of the dungeon. He hoped that she could defeat the virus segment here. It wasn't the same as the viruses before. This one couldn't be Virus Drained. It had to be beaten in it's own game, one that could emotionally tare someone apart and send them into a state of mental illness just by toying with their emotions.
The being slowly appeared in front of her. Macha and Subaru gasped at the same time. It took form of Tsukasa. Macha now knew that the battle had really begun.
* * *
Sharie walked into the dark clearing of the forest.
"Don't come any closer." The dark haired girl warned again. This time, there was a more serious tone in her voice. Her hair started waving wildly.
Sharie started to take the threat more seriously now. This girl might have some connection with the virus.
"Don't worry! I'm not here to cause you any harm at all!" Sharie said, hoping that her voice was as sincere as she meant it to be.
"What?" asked the girl. Her hair stopped waving.
"I'm not a threat," Sharie continued.
"Bring a person here, and prove it. Those who travel alone mean harm to me." The girl said. She put her head back on her knees.
"I'll bring Ryuoku!" Sharie said thoughtfully. And she sent him a mail as soon as she could.
* * *
"Here little Hiyaki, I have a present for you!" cried the intruder. Picking the lock of the door had been easy. All he had to do was exterminate Shaikya's son, and he'd be getting that huge raise. Now if he could just find the kid..
He heard a soft beep, just down the short hall, coming from what was obviously the brat's room.
"Gotcha!" he whispered to himself. He slowly walked towards the looming entrance. This was it. This was his big cut. Finally, he would be able to afford that car he wanted. Only a little longer now. Just a little bit more.
* * *
Subaru stared. She couldn't believe it. She wouldn't believe it. Standing in front of her was..
"Tsukasa?" asked Subaru, as she cautiously took a step towards him.
"Go away!" cried Tsukasa.
"What?" asked Subaru, taken back at what he just said. Macha his face in his paws.
"I said, go away!" he said again.
"No. You don't mean that," Subaru wanted to believe her own words. Oh how she wanted to.
"I do. You are nothing to me!" Tsukasa cried.
"What? Why? What are you saying?!" cried Subaru. She couldn't stand this. She must be imagining things.
"You don't even care!" Tsukasa's torment was relentless.
"Yes I do! I searched so tirelessly for you! Please, don't do this. Please!" Subaru was exasperated. How could he? How could he say these things?
"Then why didn't you find me?"
Subaru stared blankly at Tsukasa. He gave an evil smirk.
"No. NOOOOO!" Subaru tossed her head up in the air. She clamped her hands around the back of her head, and used her forearm to block out Tsukasa's torture.
"You don't care about me-,"
"Please!" she cried, "Stop this!"
"And I hate you. I completely hate you. You didn't even try to find me!"
"Yes I did! I searched so tirelessly! Why are you doing this? Why!?" Subaru began to cry.
"Shut up. Just shut up! You're a worthless piece of trash!"
"Tsukasa," she sobbed, "Why?" She surrendered to her weak knees, and dropped down onto them.
Macha pulled his hat over his ears.
* * *
Ryu knew that the familiar beep of mail spelled death for him. Even as he watched Sharie's familiar face pop up on the mail, she might as well have been death himself staring lifelessly at him.
He ran behind his door as it slowly opened. As soon as the intruder stuck the gun in, he slammed the door on his hand.
"Son of a-!" he stopped as he realized what he had done. He dropped the gun to the floor when he felt the pain, and now, the target, had become the assassin.
Ryu held the gun at the guy's head. "Leave my house!" he commanded.
"All-alright. Just don't pull that trigger!" He slowly backed out of the house, and ran down to his van.
Ryu heard a screech of tires, and the CC Corp. van was gone.
* * *
Tsukasa laughed as Subaru struggled to interpret what he had said, but to his surprise, she stood up.
"Stop this nonsense!" She demanded.
"What?"
"I won't take this!"
"N-No,"
"Your not even Tsukasa!"
"Wha-What!?!? Of course I am!"
"No! And I don't like imposters!"
"B-but!"
"You have said enough! Discontinue the words you speak, or I will be forced to use force!" She threatened, raising her axe to above her head.
"No," said a voice, that was obviously not Tsukasa's, "No one has ever been able to survive this. No one!"
"Well, virus, I guess you just met your match!"
The false Tsukasa turned blue, and then to virtual ash.
"I will find you one day, Tsukasa."
Macha smiled, then faded away into the air.
Subaru marched out of the dungeon, and left the dungeon.
**END**
I thought Subaru was being left out, so I gave her her own chapter! I might do this with other characters too. Don't forget to review, and I won't forget to update!
