Chapter Twenty: Luci Meet Mukuro

Luci ran as fast as she could away from the monsters. She soon found herself entering a village. Oh boy, I hope there are actually normal people living here. Wolf-like creatures came walking out and surrounded her.

"Human," one hissed.

"Meat," said another.

"Um…monster," Luci said, imitating the creatures.

Ignoring her comment, the wolf creatures charged at her. Screaming, Luci ducked down and formed a protective ball.

Suddenly, a thought struck Luci. What am I doing? I don't know what has gotten into me! Why, all of the sudden, am I acting so cowardly? I keep that part to myself! I can't do this!

Luci stood up and punched the first wolf creature she saw as hard as she could. The wolf-man flew as well as a paper airplane.

Whoa. I really didn't know I could do that! I bet in this world, I'm like the god! The most powerful of the powerful! Haha! Yes!

The other wolf-men backed off and retreated; Luci grinned in glory. Now, I have to find out what I can do here. Since I'm hungry, well, I guess I'll need some food. What can I eat, though? Aren't all the people—creature here carnivores??

Luci looked ahead and saw what looked like—like a store—a food store. The only problem was that in a store, one needed money, and she had none. Luci had begun to realize that the village she was in had many things she did not think would be in such a strange world. She looked around and soon spotted a…bank.

Luci took advantage of the power she had and soon grew greedy. She wanted food, water, and pleasure. She had forgotten about her home. Something about that strange land made her steal, forced her to beat up helpless beings.

Luci, of course, had her own reasons for what she did. Well, since there's nothing better to do, and plus it's their own fault that they didn't give me any money when I asked for it nicely—well, let's just say that thing deserved everything I packed into that punch.Soon, Luci was the big criminal; maybe she could become Makai's Most Wanted one day.

Luci's POV:

I couldn't really say what was happening to me…Perhaps it was easiest to say that something was controlling me, taking over my mind. The need of survival overruled the thought of other's peaceful lives.

I needed to survive in this strange world, so I stole from others, robbed others of their goods. If it was needed, I would fight off anyone who tried to oppose me. I was actually quite surprised that I could beat up all of these inhuman creatures, and the more I beat up someone, the greater my ego grew.

I knew that I was just getting myself in even greater trouble.

---

Luci had survived about three days in Makai. She was walking through the streets when a very large and hairy armored beast stopped her. Trailing behind him were others that looked extremely similar.

"What do you want," Luci asked.

"You've trespassed. Humans don't belong here. In addition to that, you have robbed banks, ambushed homes, and done the unspeakable. My orders are to exterminate you, but before we do that, let's say we have some fun." The beast rubbed his hands together.

Suddenly, Luci kicked it. The other beasts charged at her, but they were no challenge to her. Behind her approached another beast that held a knife. Luci turned around and was barely able to dodge the attack, and she was left with a two inch wound on her arm.

Angrily, she kicked the beast down on the ground. Walking up to the frightened creature, she picked up the knife.

What am I doing? Luci thought. How did I get myself into this? I've never actually murdered anyone, and I don't plan on…but he started it! I'm probably going to have this ugly scar on me for the rest of my life. Luci lifted up the dagger and planned to stab the creature, when someone from behind grabbed her arm.

Luci turned around and saw someone—someone quite different from the rest.

"Let me go!" She shouted as she tried to struggle free. Luci was kneed (very lightly) in the back and flew into a wall.

Luci wasn't extremely hurt—just a few scratches. Who is this person? It's my lucky day…I'm going to die…

"Who are you?"

There was no reply.

"I am just peacefully making my way around this strange land, so you can leave me alone," Luci said.

"I am Mukuro."

"Ok…So…Mukuro, what do you want?"

"Originally humans come, and they go, but there has never been such a human that has caused so much trouble."

Luci gulped.

Mukuro continued. "You walk so proudly on this soil. You think that you can just do anything here, don't you? You think that you're the most powerful one, so there's nothing you'll need to worry about, am I right?"

"Um…well actually, I was just trying to make a living. I have to find a way to survive, don't I?"

"Humans don't deserve to survive. Especially not in this world. Their fate is to die." Mukuro's eyes glowed.

Luci backed up. "I think this is a mistake." What am I doing? I'm not this weak! I can take her!

"No, it's fate."

In less than a second, Mukuro disappeared and then reappeared beside Luci. Luci was barely able to scream before Mukuro reached out and began to choke her.

Oh my gosh…I really am going to die. Suddenly Luci thought of Hiei. Why? Why is this happening to me? I'm sorry, I really am…

I didn't mean to cause any trouble. I just couldn't control myself. Once I beat up one beast, I just couldn't stop myself. I really am a sweet person…I couldn't hurt a fly.

What am I talking about? If I could only…Luci struggled and tried to remove the tightening grip on her throat.

-Bob: One moment please. We are having a short break. Beep, Beep. Will Luci die? (Of course not…or…she'll find some way to come back to life) Why are their strange voices in her head? What has made her bloodthirsty and then left her alone to die? (Ok that made no sense) NOTE: This fic makes you think, but it will all be clear soon enough (as in at the end), I promise!!!

-Bob: Well, you see, during the past couple of days… Well, let's start here. Luci was transported to Makai through a portal in the lake when she tumbled into it (trying to save Yusuke). There obviously is something wrong with the girl… something really wrong. She basically has two sides (ooh… like Gollum… yuk.)…at first she was her normal self, and then began to change (after she crawled down the tree and ran.)

-Bob: She began to steal from others (and it soon became pleasurable.) Her other half realized that she was getting into trouble, but couldn't do anything to stop her. Every time she did something, she regretted it, but she knew she had to continue. So she did.

-Bob: and that got her into deeper water. The beasts that Mukuro had sent to "exterminate" her in the beginning, found out that she was stealing and destroying, so they decided they would fix things. They failed and were defeated by Luci as well. Mukuro was contacted and arrived to fix things up.

-Bob: Mukuro wanted to show the girl her weakness and then kill her (because humans suck), and right now Luci's getting choked.

-Billy: Shut up, Bob.

-Bob: NO, I refuse!

-Billy: You make no sense, AND you're drugging the author.

-Lobs-StAcEy-Ters: Seriously! I really can't think, and you're screwing up my fic! Sorry, readers, I know this chapter hasn't been too great, but I promise it'll get better soon… I hope…I just haven't been able to think well recently….. so…… yeah, but I'm trying my best….

-Bob: Now back to the fic.

Everything around her was beginning to become blurry. Luci slowly closed her eyes.

-

I have to go and help her…

-

Mukuro grinned. She's almost dead…bitch… She tightened her grip even more. Suddenly someone grabbed her arm.

"Let her go."

Mukuro looked up (down) and saw Hiei.

"What do you want? You haven't been doing your job recently."

"I've been training."

"For what?

Hiei was growing impatient. "I'll take care of this now, just leave."

"I'm finishing this," Mukuro said stubbornly. "Hiei, you don't know what you're doing. Leave now or—"

"Or what?" Hiei took Luci and laid her down. He first searched for a pulse and felt a very light one, but he was relieved that she was alive.

Luci opened her eyes and saw Hiei. Oh my god…

"Hiei? I'm sorry…I really am…"

Hiei was confused.

Mukuro said, "Hiei, I'm giving you a choice. You can either get rid of her now, or you can erase her memory."

Review Please.
