Ch-18; Will it never end?
HoroHoro was sat up in his bed, holding his head in his hands, on the verge of a mental breakdown.
"Horo, its ok…" Ren tried to soothe but he could tell HoroHoro wasn't hearing him…he was locked in his own thoughts, his own nightmarish world of self torture and sorrow.
"Ren-sama?" a small voice asked at the door. He turned to find Niandra at the door gesturing for him to come out so she could speak with him. Ren sighed; he didn't want to leave HoroHoro this way but he had no choice…he had to learn to get along with these people and help HoroHoro but that didn't mean he had to like it.
He stepped out of the room and closed the door quietly behind him. He looked up and found himself the centre of attention. The whole room was staring at him, some with suspicious eyes, others with interest and a few with minor pity.
"You wanted me?" he asked crossing his arms. The stranger from outside walked over to him and linked arms with him leading him to a separate room to speak with him.
"Yes I did. Earlier you asked who I was, and now I can explain all. Ask any question you want." She said sitting down on a similar bed to that which HoroHoro was currently falling apart in.
"Let's start with your name." Ren said leaning against the wall opposite her.
"Ok, that's a good start. My name is Lorena Syline." Lorena said introducing herself.
"Uh huh, so how do you know Horo?" Ren asked next, sitting himself down on the floor.
"Well, last time, I found them. I helped to heal him and after that we formed a strong friendship. But before he left, a prophecy was foretold that he will one day return and when that day comes, we will be united as one." Lorena explained whilst plaiting her hair into a braid.
"So you're betrothed?" Ren gasped almost gaping at her. He was thankful he was sat down now otherwise he may have fallen down.
"In a way…" Lorena blushed violently.
"YAHHHH!" a hair rising scream shrieked.
"Horo…" Ren breathed and was up and by his friend's side within seconds. He was writhing on the bed holding his head and screaming. Ren sat down on the bed and held him close but HoroHoro continued to scream.
By this point there were various other people in the room, trying to hold the bucking boy down while others began trying different methods of calming the boy. Lorena was the main one doing that.
"Usui! Listen to me! Its happening, are you ready?" she called out to him as he clutched his head in agony.
"What's happening? Ready for what?" Ren asked but he went unanswered and was pulled away from the bed leaving HoroHoro fighting on his own. He fought the restraining hands but it was to no avail.
"Do it!" HoroHoro screamed out, "Just make…it stop!"
"You heard him girls!" Lorena said and stood with her hands pointed in HoroHoro's direction. The others followed suit and they began to chant as one;
"Earth, Water, Wind and Fire
Spirits of the elements hear our cry
His time has come
His past undone
Convert his soul this very nigh!"
(A/N spell does not work in real life!)
An eerie light began to emanate from their open hands and surrounded HoroHoro. Ren watched as HoroHoro's body slowly calmed down and his eyes slowly closed once more. He intensified his struggle and began ranting;
"What the hell did you do to him!"
"Ren-sama, please…he knew what had to be done, and he gave his consent…it could not be avoided." Niandra said gesturing to the large man to release the enraged China man.
Ren was by HoroHoro's side immediately, checking his vital signs and making sure he was breathing while venting his questions again.
"What did you do? Why won't he wake up? Tell me!"
"Calm down and we'll tell you!" Lorena yelled. Everyone was silent as she walked over to the panicky Ren who jumped up in a defensive position and put himself between then and HoroHoro.
"What did you do to him?" he asked again but this time there was venom in his voice and daggers in his glare.
"He is no longer Shaman; he is now one of us; Homo Magi." Lorena said, holding her head high.
Ren went berserk, (A/N due to language barriers, swear word content and my laziness, we're gonna skip what he said out loud; you could pretty much guess the basics of it anyways.) he summoned his Kwan Doe and caught it as it flew through the rooms to his waiting hand, he spun it around and stood ready to kill the next person who peeved him more.
"Undo it now" he said growling out the words showing that he was not happy. (A/N well duh!)
"Ren-sama, you must understand, if it can be reversed, then he will be in pain again, it will eventually kill him." Niandra explained in a soft voice, "Don't let him go through that again." She pleaded. She looked up and directly into his amber eyes and saw confusion mixed with large quantities of concern and untrust. "Please."
Ren looked deep into the blue/green eyes and he could tell that they'd done the right thing…he lowered his weapon and sighed before turning back to HoroHoro who remained quite still and unconscious through the whole episode.
'I hope I'm doing the right thing,' he thought to himself, and then another thought hit his head.
"How can I contact my spirit and his?" he asked sternly.
"You can only contact your spirit if he/she is really needed. Koloro is on her way here." Lorena said as she sat on the other side of HoroHoro's bed and taking his hand in hers. "It is a most horrifying feeling. It burns but freezes your blood cold, it wracks you body but softens its touch, it is also very traumatising too."
"You've been though this?" Ren asked noticing that the people in the room were slowly disappearing.
"Yes, it was most strange and I called for my spirit friend, I also managed to reach usui, he wrote me a letter of how he felt that I was in pain…he is so sweet." Lorena said.
"Sweet isn't quite the word I'd use, but he's a good person and deserves a much better life than this..." Ren said remembering how his childhood was mild compared to HoroHoro's.
BANG!
Ren and Lorena both looked at each other in fear.
"What was that?" Ren asked knowing the answer full well. Lorena closed her eyes and concentrated…
"It's them…the phoenix corporation…they're here."
A/N well, already writing the next chappi! Tell me what ya think!
