Revenge Of The Trickster Goddess
Chap.4
Silver eyes remained glued on the stone ceiling of the cell. The boy cracked a small smile, remembering the shocked and scared look Tentei had had on his face.
'At the very least he hasn't forgotten me. It would be a shame to get revenge on him when he doesn't remember what I want revenge on him for.' Rem sat up, and stretched, the chains on his wrists and neck clanking. 'Better yet, I believe he's scared of me.'
Rem's grin widened; Tentei had had a scared look on his face when he had realized who he was really talking to. The blood drained from his face, and his pupils nearly disappeared within the iris of his eye in fear. He had been shaking, and he simply radiated fear.
"Rem? Rem!" A small voice called, and Goku ran into view, Konzen following.
"Goku? Oh, Goku, it's you." Rem scooted over to the bars in his cell to talk to the boy.
"What'd you do to get in here?" Konzen glared down at Rem.
"Just…disturbing the peace. I…er, thought that they shouldn't treat Nataku so cruelly, and I got tossed in here."
"Hm…" It was an obvious lie to Konzen, but the only truth as far as Goku was concerned. Konzen knew it was a lie, but something tugged at him to believe it was the truth.
"I know! I can't believe they would do that to Nataku! You're right, Rem!" Goku retorted. Rem smiled weakly, and reached out to hold one of Goku's hands.
"I know….Goku, you'll come to the meeting tomorrow with Konzen, Ten-chan and Ken-niichan, right?" He asked, almost begging. Goku nodded, tears running down his cheeks.
"Of course we will! Just don't die, Rem!" Goku burst out, and took Konzen's hand as they left the prison.
"Of course, Goku…" Rem called back, smiling weakly. Once the two were gone, his smile mutated into a disgusted grimace.
'Good, they'll be there tomorrow. After tomorrow, there'll be no more of this disgusting pathetic life I've lived for eight thousand years! I'll get rid of all those insolent fools who dared to banish me in the first place!' Rem leaned back against the wall. 'And the first to go might as well be that stupid Konzen…he's too aware of me. Too aware for my comfort.'
Rem turned his red-tinted silver eyes back up to the stone ceiling, and balled his hands into fists. 'It's not like those stupid aristocrats would let me do that, though.' His eyes went wide as he realized something. 'Wait! Tentei's my……little brother. That means that………' Rem laughed out loud, cackling evilly, in spite of himself. 'The throne, as well as my revenge, is already mine!'
A/n: Hopefully, by now, you've figured out for yourselves who Rem really is. Tell me. I know, I just want to know if you've figured it out yourselves. I think I made it painfully clear.
