Chapter: thirty-seven

"Sinners"

"The sinner Aion was one to fill so many hearts with fear and grief, and Chrono the sinner who killed over one million of his kind. Also all the other sinners who killed people randomly in their search for pandemonium. Lucifer, also known as pandemonium was needed for their dream along with the seven apostles…to bring heaven, earth, and hell together." Chrono spoke as if he was reading from a book. "I have reason to believe that Aion has tampered into different worlds to find more about his future. Why else would he send the five of you to different time periods even? He placed three girls in the past, one in the present, and one in the future. It seems odd to me." Chrono said shaking his head. Kaia bit her lip and shuffled around her sheets.

"Kaia, did the nurse say you could go?" Chrono asked placing his hand on the bed. Kaia nodded and started to get out of her bed. "Get ready, we need you to come with us. Since you're involved with Aion's plan this time." He said walking towards the door. "See you in a bit." Kaia said waving. He just gave a smile and walked out. Kaia could tell this situation was bothering Chrono and that he was taking it really seriously. Without waiting any longer she consulted the nurse and got ready to meet up with Chrono.

"The girl Mayu has been treated Madame Kayo." Fiore said, slightly bending over with a bow. She turned and exited through the main gates of the clinic. The gates swung and a tan hand caught the door. "Kayo…" Aion hummed walking through the door. Kayo turned around with disappointment. Without thinking she jumped into a fit. "Fukai could have killed that girl you know! Why did you let him interrogate her?" She asked in a worrisome tone. Aion pushed his glasses further up his nose and sighed. "Kayo my dear, that's why you were with him." He chuckled walking past her. Kayo couldn't help but to wonder if he was mocking her, or just torturing her by having her be with Fukai all the time. It was like he wanted Kayo to feel sad around Fukai since he killed her mother and gave her the scars on her arms. That's why she hated the sight of the poor winged girl, and her poor brother. It's horrible to lose someone that's close to you.

"Kayo, did you bring the girl?" He asked turning to face Kayo. Kayo nodded and pointed to a door. "She's in there." She said laying her hand down by her side. Aion laughed as he grabbed the handle. "It's funny, they never realize it's you, huh…Haruka He laughed entering the door and closing it behind him. The room was dark as Fukai's was and it smelled horrible. Aion stepped around for a while as if he was mocking the blonde haired girl on the ground. "Wake up Kirsten." He spoke sounding rather annoyed. She squinted her eyes and moved her arms around her eyes. "Who are you?" She whimpered placing her glasses back on her face. "You can't recognize my voice? It's Aion. I came to tell you that you will not be alone in this cell for long. Your friends will join you soon."

Kaia buckled the black weapon against her tan belt. She felt her heart race beneath the black robes of the nuns dress. "Why do I feel so nervous?" She asked herself slightly biting her lip. Once again she placed her hands out in front of her. "I-I'm really animated. It's not fake." She whimpered rotating her hands back and forth staring at the abnormal shines made by the light. Slowly, she brought them down to her sides. This can't be real. She told herself one last time while glancing in the mirror. She was the exact copy of Rosette Christopher, only with a more confused look and a different colored garment. This is the first time I've looked in a mirror since I've been here. No wonder Chrono is so nice to me. I look just like Rosette. She bent over and grabbed the black heaps on the floor beneath her, and then she proceeded to slide them over her arms until they reached her elbow creating two weird looking gloves for a warrior nun. She let out a gigantic sigh and headed for the door. "Maybe now I will get some answers."

Ali sat on the wooden porch alone staring out into the confetti filled festival. Everyone seemed so happy and she didn't understand why she wasn't having a good time. The problem with her is that she thought on things way too much. Why was Kyo upset? Why am I here? What is with Akito? Is this a dream? Is this real? She thought so much on these topics that it was about to make her head explode. All of a sudden the door swung open and a very annoyed Shigure came pacing out. He seemed to be rushing to do something, and he didn't even notice Ali setting on the steps where he just passed. She just assumed that he had something important to do and that he couldn't be bothered with silly conversation. So she just shook it off and started to fade into her fit of questions.

For what seemed like an eternity passed as she just watched the people pass by holding food and dancing, until a cold hand was placed on her shoulder. She nearly fell down the stairs with fear. "Hello, dear Ali-san." Akito said with a dark voice. It only made his lifeless eyes seem paler. It made Ali sick to see him act nice, although how pathetic the attempt may be. "Hi Akito-Sama." Ali said with a staggered expression. Why was he talking to her? Sure he had better things to do? "I wanted to ask how you like it at the Sohma house?" He asked taking a seat next to her, which she didn't greatly invite. "It's great. Everyone is so nice to me." She replied trying to hide her want for him to leave. "Good…good." He said staring out into the distance, causing Ali to fell uncomfortable. What's he thinking about? Surly he hates me? She fidgeted with the thought of the questions her mind oh so willingly asked.

"You know…I'm not really fond of visitors." He said turning his head toward her. His eyes lowered and caught glimpse of her bracelet on her left wrist; the black and white beaded one. His face turned into a scowl. Ali shifted and bit the inside of her mouth. "You don't say." She answered giving him a weary smile. He started to laugh, as though slowly but surly he was mocking her. "Oh, I HATE them. I can't stand people coming into my beloved family's home unless I wish it." Ali's face slowly turned into a frown. "Excuse me?" She clutched her jeans nervously as though she were having a conversation with a bomb that had 5 seconds left. He lifted his hand to his stomach and gave a cough, and then he laughed a bit more. "You see Ali, since I love my family "oh so much", I want to protect them from tramps like you from prancing into their lives. Let's just say I want to be rid of you…hmmmm… let's see…in two days…or someone might get hurt." He gave an evil smile and sat up from his spot next to her. He turned back and gave Ali's head a rough rub, and Ali quickly slapped his hand away. "Tut..tut..naughty cat." He said sarcastically, walking back into the room from which he came.

Ali's eyes widened. What just happened? Am I being threatened? She rubbed her head and started to walk towards the festival. What am I going to do? I don't know how to get home, nonetheless two days!
