Chapter 2

AN: Okay I'm back with the next chapter! I'll try to make this one a little longer but I won't start making really long ones until after this chapter. At that point updates will slow down and I'll need a beta so I can keep from making a fool of myself.

Its Hard to move on when someone close to you dies. Its doubly hard when you are the one who took their life. Mio was not alright. she was siting in the back of her Uncle Kei's car as he drove farther and farther away from All Gods Village where she had been found by search parties an hour ago. It was with grim amusement that she realised the only reason they had found her was because the curse on the village had been lifted. Sai's spirit was now resting in peace as was the rest of the village and Mayu had gotten what she wanted she had become one with Mio if the ceremony worked correctly which it must have or she would not be alive now. And what was Mio left with?

Nothing.

Nothing but the red butterfly mark on her throat and a deep feeling of betrayal and emptiness. It was easy to see why a majority of the twins that performed the ritual came to a tragic end. Itsuki and Mutsuki had failed and Akane Kiryu had gone insane after a doll of her sister that her father had made her was possessed by an evil spirit and stole her soul.

As for Yai and Sai...well it was easy to see where that had all gone wrong. It angered Mio to think that such a ritual was performed simply for good crops and health. Blood money so that the village could live without suffering from famines or plague. But what was done was done and could not be undone. Mayu was dead and it had been Mio, her own sister, that had killed her. The thought made Mio want to throw up.

"Mio are you sure you don't know where Mayu is?", Asked her uncle Kei from the driver's seat, Mio caught him looking in concern through the rereview mirror.

A moment of panic lased its way through her mind. Should she tell him? Would he believe her? No, she decided, it was best not to take the chance Uncle Kei was a non - fiction writer there was about a snowball's chance in hell that he would believe her. "No uncle we got separated about two days after we got lost and I haven't seen her since." Mio replied in the calmest voice she could make hoping that he did not pick up the trace of despair.

Apparently he hadn't because he focused back on the road and didn't say anything else.

Mio laid her head up against the window and closed her eyes. Whatever effect that curse had on her body that let her go without sleep or food or water had been lifted and now she was feeling the eight days or so that had been spent in the village. Giving a huge yawn she sliped away from reality.

And stepped into yet another nightmare.
