Chapter 7 - Destiny's Lotus
Notes: Love the title of this chapter! Also a song.. :p Really, really cool! I loved writing the last two chapters, it was a great, yet saddening experience... anyways, enjoy! (--;)
Full Moon backed away towards the door. She really did have no where to run. She desparately looked around for something; anything. She spotted a lonesome cooking spatula (those long ones they usually use in cookie factorys, kinda like the ones used in pizza restaurants). She lunged forward and grasped it. The imposter looked at her wildly and whipped out his small, silver gun. Full Moon picked up the spatula and swung it with all her might. A gun shot went off. It was like slow motion; Full Moon saw the bullet heading towards her. She knew she was dead, a graceful spotlight came upon her. Take me, she thought, take me from this hurtful world. But just as she finished that thought, the loud, booming voice emitted from the heavens again.
"Mitsuki...I will always be there for you..." The spotlight went away. Everything went back to normal. It had happened so fast: Full Moon saw the bullet deflected away from her, like a barrier was surrounding her. The imposter was wide eyed and shocked.
"NOW!" screamed Meroko's voice. Full Moon snapped into action and flung the spatula at the imposter. The spatula kissed the side of his head.
SMACK!
He was on the ground, still reverberating from Full Moon's attack.
"WOO! That was so awesome! Mitsuki you ROCK!" said Meroko, who looked as if Christmas had come early. Takuto just stared at Meroko, as if fearful for her sanity. Full Moon was still shocked, but managed to walk over to the door and run back into the hallway. She heard voices in the huge delivery dock up ahead. She gathered up her strength and walked into the area. She felt as if a beautiful lotus had opened up inside of her.
"Keichiro! Ooshige!" she screamed out stupidly. She looked around and saw them, tied to a tall crane, hanging by their hands.
"...EH! Boss, it's her!" said a buff man who was near her. She shot across the big room towards Keichiro and Ooshige.
"Full Moon! Get away! It's a trap!" screamed Ooshige, but it was too late. Full Moon stepped on a rope, and it pulled her off her legs and hoisted her upwards on the crane.
"So...this is the brat who stole my daughter's title... eh? Well, we finally have you, and you'll pay dearly.." said the man who seemed to be incharge. This must be Takanoru, thought Full Moon.
"What do you want with me? I haven't done anything to you!" pleaded Full Moon.
"Oh, you've done more than enough. You must know... my daughter was one of the runner ups in the singing auditions to become Full Moon... and some brat like you had to come and mess it up, while my daughter had it all in the bag. I lost all the money I bet on my daughter winning, and also...I lost my daughter because of you... her hopes were so crushed that she killed herself..." said Takanoru in a revengeful voice. "Yes.. I think slitting your vocal cords shall do. Make you pay for what you did to me and my daughter" he said again. As he went over to Full Moon, the crane began to shake. Suddenly, the ropes binding her to the crane released off of her legs, Ooshige's hands, and Keichiro's hands. They all plunged onto the floor. Full Moon hurt her ankle. Takanoru looked shocked, but he did not hesitate in walking towards her; the situation was in his favor. As Full Moon braced herself, another interruption came along. A voice, quite unlike the one Full Moon heard in her dream boomed and filled every corner of the factory.
"Father... stop this madness..."
