Chapter 12
Introducing, Hiroshin, Master of Atem
Rain held her katana before her and was ready for Atem's attack… he sprung towards her with his jowls gaping wide as if he could swallow her in one gulp despite the cold steel she held between them. Rain didn't want to hurt him so instead of slashing, she dodged out of his way and went to a corner. If wolves could smile, Atem was definitely smirking now… he believed he had her trapped in the corner but Rain knew better. Atem attacked her once more and she flew up and out of his reach…
"Get down here!" he growled.
"No! I don't want to hurt you, Atem," Rain cried.
"I won't be the one getting hurt if you don't get down here…" he said menacingly.
"What are you talking about? You can't touch me up here…"
"Who said you'd be the one getting hurt? I wasn't talking about you…" he said slowly. An image flickered to life above his head and Rain gave a strangled cry. It was an image of Hiei… he was chained to a wall and unconscious. Rain couldn't believe it… how could Atem sink so low? Rain drifted towards the image, transfixed by the fact that Hiei could have been in such a predicament. She was close enough to touch it when a black vortex appeared before her, issuing a gnarled grey hand and arm that grabbed her about the neck. Rain used her wings to try and fly back away from the thing but then many more arms flew out of the vortex and grabbed her… legs, arms, wings, and even some hair were snatched into the grip of the claws. Before she could cry out in agony, a clammy hand covered her mouth and nose, pulling her completely into the black hole, where she passed out.
When Rain finally came to, she found herself in a disturbingly familiar room… déjà vu flowed over her as she lay in that crimson stained bed! Looking down she found the white wedding dress that clothed her. She screamed and threw the covers off of her and started to sprint to the door… but the she remembered the dream and sprinted to the bathroom instead…
Right after Rain closed the bathroom door she heard a little creak from the outer door… her eyes went immediately as wide as plates and she looked around for something to help her if worse came to worse… her katana wasn't with her and she wasn't quite sure how to bring her powers out for fear that so much energy would blow her cover sooner than she wanted.
Quickly and quietly, the be-wedding gowned girl opened all the drawers and cabinets, hoping for something to help her… BINGO! She found some scissors in the last drawer she searched. Rain stopped moving for a moment and she heard some shuffling in the room. 'Probably Atem… looking for me…' she thought as she started chopping off the dress' long skirt. She heard the doorknob rattle and stopped in mid-cut to look over at the entrance to the bathroom. She finished chopping off the bottom of the dress and, slipping off her high heels, scurried over to the window above the sink. Atem had started pounding on the door but Rain wasn't slowing down. Poking her head out the window, Rain looked around to make sure the coast was clear which, thank all that was living, it was clear. She ducked back in and Atem sounded murderous on the other side of the door. Not sure how she did it, Rain went through the small window feet first and got all the way out the window. There was a trellis covered in ivy and she began to climb down. Once she was about half way down, she heard a howl of anger from above her.
Rain quickly looked up to see Atem growling like a mad wolf (haha!). "Don't worry my faithful servant. I will take it from here…" came a voice from behind Rain. 'Dang it! I thought I was home free…' Rain thought as she looked behind her to see the man who had haunted her dreams. Hiroshin stood, or rather floated, in midair behind her. Rain's body went limp against the trellis as she turned back to the wall, whimpering in fear… Atem had let this man out and now he wanted to make her his bride…
Hiroshin plucked her off the wall and carried her back to that room that she feared so much. Hiroshin landed gently on the ground with his arms around Rain's waist. "Now, my love, we can get married. You'll forget all about that team the Reikai Tantei and their girlfriends… the only person you will notice is me and you'll love me, care for me, obey me…" Hiroshin whispered in her ear. The man put Rain in the bed and covered her with the blankets. "Sleep no, my darling, and I'll prepare everything."
Rain was paralyzed with fear and just laid there looking up at her possessed cousin and the perpetrator. Hiroshin told her to shut hr eyes and she did… she'd play along with his game and once she was out of sight, she would make her move! Looking mighty pleased, Hiroshin walked out of the room followed obediently by Atem…
