CHAPTER 22

NO LAUGHING MATTER

That next day at Vector's house, Charmy was laying on his bed in his room with the door closed thinking about how he killed Wilt. He thought about the way how he had stabbed the demon all over his face. Blood was everywhere. It was on the ground, the demon, him, and his hands. He looked at his hands and remembered the blood that was on it. "I felt like a killer." He took his eyes off his hands, "But I think I was more than a killer. I felt like...one of them", he said softly. He shook his head slightly, "No! I'm not like them! I'm not a killer! I never will be. I'll just leave the killing to the rest of the guys. I get way too carried away. Besides Chloe may get worried about me."

"What about you?" A female voice asked from the doorway.

He looked over to the doorway and saw Chloe standing there with deep concern, "Chloe, what are you doing here?"

"It's our room of course", she said with a chuckle. "Is something wrong, hon?"

He shook his head, "No of course not. I'm fine."

She walked over to him and sat on the bed with him, "You know when Vector brought you back that day and I saw you covered in blood, I was so scared. I didn't know what to do or what to say. All I did was cry until all the blood was washed off you. I couldn't bare you see you covered in blood. It reminded me of death itself. I was so glad that you were okay." He leaned over to him and kissed him.

Charmy quickly broke away from her, "Chloe, you'll never lose me that's for sure. I'll always love you."

She smiled, "Me too." She kissed him again and for a long time.

Later in the city, a light pink haired demon wearing a black cloak with a necklace around her neck with a light pink jewel in it was walking around laughing for no apparent reason. She glanced at the sun and looked back at the people walking around her. She started to laugh again, "What a beautiful day for destruction! I love nice days such as these! They're so happy!" She laughed out loud and didn't seem to mind the people giving her weird looks making her look crazy which she was. She ran over to a man and was still laughing, "Don't you think today's great?"

The man was silent for a moment, "Sure", he said acting nervous. 'What the fuck is this bitch on?' He thought.

She continued to talk, "I love killing! It's fun! Don't you think it's fun?"

The man began to walk away from her, "What are you talking about? Do you kill people or something?"

"Of course I do!" Her smile faded, "You don't think killing is fun?"

"Hell no! In a matter of fact, you need to see a psychiatrist. You're out of control! Did you escape from the mental institution or something?"

She waved her finger back and forth at the man, "You don't make me very happy. Naughty, naughty." Then her fingernail began to get longer.

The man started to run away from her.

The demon pointed her finger at his back and her fingernail grew longer.

The man started to shout, "Someone hel-" He felt something sharp going through his back. He looked down to his stomach and saw the demon's bloody finger going through him. Her finger was quickly taken out of his back and the man fell to the ground with blood rising from his mouth.

After when a crowd of people saw how the man died, they all started to run around and panic.

The demon took her finger and licked the victim's blood off of it with her tongue. She moaned as the taste of blood touched her tongue. She began to smile again, "Oh yeah this is more like it."

Somewhere Rouge and Spike was on the same street and saw people running away they figured it was another demon.

Spike looked over to Rouge, "Something's up."

"And I think I know what", she and Spike began to run where the people were evacuating from. Soon they saw a young looking woman with light pink hair, wearing a black cloak, and wearing a necklace with a light pink jewel in it. She turned around and faced them with a smile, "You two got guts coming back here."

"Yaru", Rouge clenched her fists, "Just like a demon to start killings in the open like this."

The demon began to laugh, "Maybe you would like to join them?"

"Just try me."

Spike grabbed Rouge's wrist, "No way, mom! You can't win against her. She looks pretty strong. Maybe I should take things from here."

She jerked her hand away from Spike, "I'm not that old."

He crossed his arms, "Okay if you die, I'll just have to tell dad that you committed suicide."

Rouge walked up to the demon standing in a fighting stance.

Yaru did the same and extended her fingernail and pointed it at Rouge, "Prepare to die", she said in a cheerful attitude.

"You're wasting your time." She jumped in the air and kicked the demon in her face.

Yaru fell to the ground and quickly got off the ground laughing, "Is that all you can do?"

Spike looked at her in a strange way, "Whoa, she makes dying fun...for her that is."

Yaru took her finger and tried to stab Rouge with her sharp fingernail, but she kept missing because of her bad aim. She was getting frustrated, "Damn it! My aiming still sucks as usual."

Rouge smiled, "That's a good thing." She jumped in the air and kicked the demon in her stomach.

Yaru fell to the ground with Rouge's iron boot on her chest.

She crossed her arms and made a smirk, "You thought you had me beat didn't you?"

She made an evil smirk, "Pretty much", she took her fingernail and extended it making it stab into Rouge's shoulder.

"Mom!" Spike wanted to help her even when she told him not to.

She fell to the ground trying to get her sharp nail out of her shoulder. She even started to panic when she saw blood coming from her wound.

Yaru got off the ground and stabbed the nail deeper in her flesh while laughing, "Now this is what I call a good time."

"Don't count on it!" Both of Spike's hands were glowing light blue and set them both on the ground, "Chaos Assault!" Spikes then rose from the ground where Yaru was standing and stabbed her through her stomach. He smiled, ran over to Rouge and pulled out Yaru's sharp fingernail out of her shoulder. "You okay?"

She held her bloody shoulder and looked up at Spike and smiled, "Okay? I just got saved by my own son. I feel completely embarrassed."

He took her hand and helped her off the ground.

"I guess you really are Shadow's son."

He just blinked and smiled at the comment, "Yeah, the second ultimate being on Mobius!"
