Chapter 4: Revenge: No where to go
Hiei cought up to Katana before she was able to get very far.Minoka sat on the couch. Her leds were crossed and her left hand was slung over the couch, while her other had fiddled unconsiously with her necklace. The whole time, she was still in demon form. Kurama walked into the room. He spotted her and sighed.
"Do you want to know how to get to your human form?" He asked. Silence was his response. She never turned, its as if she didnt know he was there. Kurama sighed again and walked over to her. He sat down next to her. He couldent speak at the sight he saw. Her eyes were cold, and void of all emotions. That was not the normal Minoka everyone knew and loved.
"Sure" she finally spoke. Her voice matched her expression.
"Ok. Close your eyes and imagin being human."
She did what she was and soon enough her ears, tail, and paws disappeared. Her fangs only shortend in length, but they were still normal, yet not normal. Soon everyone was in the room, waiting to here her story. Minoka sighed.
"All the years of my life, I have never seen people who actually cares" She started. "Of course at school, people pretended to like me, but I could see through their acts. But my parents, never acted. They hated me, because of my eyes. They say I was the devil's child, I was a curse. I was something they didnt want. But they kept me and made my life a living hell. They treated my sister like royalty. When my dad was beating me, my mom would watch, and if I got close to escaping, she'd only push me back in. I really dont know how I survived. All the blows to my head." She chuckled. "I guess being a demon is good."
"What about your sister?" Keiko asked. She clutched Puu (Is it Poo or Puu?) in her arms.
"She'd get me into more trouble. Anything I get she wants. Then my dad would beat it out of me."
Katana growled."Can I please go now?" She asked.
"Not with out us, your not." Hiei said.
"Please Minoka! I learned I had demon heritage a while back too remember? I know how to do hurt them without killing them." Katana whined. Its true. Katana did have demon heritage. She had powers like Hiei's Jagan except more powerful.
"Fine. Lets go."
The whole group got up and followed Minoka to her house. When they got there, they sensed her faminly in the house. Minoka stood infront of the door.Katana was to her right and slightly behind her. Kurama was next to Katana, Yusuke beside Kurama, Kuwabara behind Katana, and Hiei in a tree. They nodded and Katana raised her hand, using her powers to blow open the door. Minoka's family, who was in that same room, whirled around in shock. When they saw Minoka their eyes widened in fear.
"W-what do you want from us?" Toriko shouted in fear. Kuwabara answered.
"To show you that anyone who hurts our friend, will have to deal with us."
"You think she has no friends. eh?"Kurama asked.
"Well your sadly mistaken."Hiei spat.
Katana locked the windows, and cut off the power in the house. "Time for you to see what true friendship is."
Yusuke cracked his knuckes. "This will be fun"
The whole time, Minoka stood and watched, with an emotionless expression. Yusuke walked to the dad and picked him up by his hair.
"No Daddy!" Yukiko yelled, reaching out but Toriko pulled her back, tears threating to spill. She looked at Minoka, hoping her tears would soften her daughters heart. Minoka stared, that emotionless stare. Toriko saw that nothing would snap her daughter out of it. Her husban's scream caused her to look at what was going on. Yusuke had punched Yusaku in the gut.
"you see how that feels? That is the pain you caused her." Yusuke spat. Thunder cracked outside. That last statment stung Minoka.
'The pain he caused me..' she fought back tears. Kurama pulled his rose out of hair slowly, so the whole family could see. When their attention was on him, he transformed the rose into his infamous Rose whip then struck at Yusaku.
Yusaku shut his eyes, waiting for the blow. When it never came he looked to see that the whip hit the wall instead of him. The whip cam flying at him again. This time it wrapped around his neck. The thorns peirced his skin. When he cried out the whip let him go and was turned into a rose again and put back into Kurama's hair. Yusaku held his neck, trying to hold in the blood.
Little did the group know, Yukiko had ran to her parents room and returned with her father's gun. She aimed at Minoka...then fired. The bullet would have got Minoka in the heart if the power of the gun didn't jerk Yukiko's hands. So instead the bullet caught Minoka's left arm. Kuwabara grabbed the gun from Yukiko. Hiei held her down and put his sword at her neck so she wouldn't struggle.
'The pain they put me through...my friends are hurting them too...would my friends hurt me? They worry for me. I will be the cause of their deaths. I cant stay with them...I...must...leave' The tears Minoka held in, streamed down her face. Without thinking, she ran out the door, into the ran that just started.
"Minoka!" Kurama called. He was distracted enough, along with every one else, so Yusaku grabbed the gun that Kuwabara threw and aimed.
"DIE!" he yelled. he pulled the trigger. The gun was pointed at Hiei, but it missed him completely and hit...Yukiko. "No...No...NOOOOOO!"
The gang moved to the door. Yukiko was only shot in the shoulder. She would live, but they wouldnt say that. Toriko thought she was dead but Yukiko had only lost conciousness. The gang walked out the door.
"What about Minoka?" Katana asked.
"We should let her be alone for a while." Kurama said.
"But she got shot!" Kuwabara yelled.
"I know. She'll be fine"
Yusuke glanced at Kurama. "Yeah. besides, this may hurt her more than that gun shot."
"Huh?" Kuwabara was confused.
"Seeing others hurt because of her, no matter how cruel they are, can really break someone down from the inside." Kurama answered.
"If she takes to long to come back, we'll look for her." hiei said.
-With Minoka-
Minoka walked down the street, crying, holding her injured arm, leaving a trail of blood behind her.
I couldn't tell you why she felt that way,
She felt it everyday
Minoka was drenched in rain water, blood, and tears.
And I couldn't help her
I just watched her make the same mistakes again.
'I can't go back. I'll cause to many problems. I'll get them hurt.-'
What's wrong, what's wrong now?
Too many, too many problems.
'-I dont belong'
Dont know where she belongs, where she belong.
'It's cold, I dont wanna be out here... But I can't be a burden to them'
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
Her tears fell freely. She sat under a tree, alone.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
She closed her eyes, she felt rejected. She knew she wasnt, but her own thoughts betrayed her. She didn't know why she felt like that. She just...did.
Open your eyes now and look inside and find the reasons why.
You've been rejected, and now you can't find what you left behind.
She looked up. She wouldn't let nothing hurt her friends. She would make sure of if.
Be strong, be strong now.
Too many, too many problems.
'I feel...empty. It's like I'm missing something'
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs.
'I want...'
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
'...to go home'
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
She stood up. 'I have no home.' She started walking down the street.
Her feelings she hides.
Her dreams she can't find.
'My friends care right? My parents dont. Does any body care? ARG!'
She's losing her mind.
She's falling behind.
'Maybe I should go back. No. They dont care. no one ever did. Even Kurama. He doesn't care at all'
She cant find her place.
She's losing her faith.
Minoka chocked back sobs. 'They dont care' Minoka tripped over a fallen branch. She was so consumed in her thoughts, she didn't notice that she was in a forest.
She's fallen from grace.
She's all over the place.
Yeah, oh.
Minoka didn't care any more. If no one wanted her back then she'd stay away.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
'I'm alone...for good.'
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
I'll stay alone. No one needs me. I only cause trouble. I am my own world' Minoka couldn't think any more. The pain she felt, physical and emotional, was too much for her. The light faded from her vision, has she pasted out in the middle of an empty forest.
She's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeah
She's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeah
