The King Is Still Standing chapter 12
My body is so cold~ I couldn't feel anything but I was moving I could see that but not feel it, what's wrong with me. "oh it's shiva, welcome back" is that yukari-san? Yeah and she with the others~ this isn't good I need to tell them to run, "Oh shiva I'm happy to see you, mind if I ask you a favour~" moka no run, run while you still can "shiva? are you okay~?" my arms started to raise, no put them down what am I doing?! "shiva? Ugh! Shiva!" no what am I doing! I'm choking moka, I can feel my hands constricting around her neck Stop! "stop please stop~ your hurting me~"
"Shiva! what are you doing!?" I don't know someone stop me~ *crack! thud!* "I don't know what's gotten into shiva but it better stop right now!" thank heavens Keito intervened I don't know if I could of stopped it "k-kei" my speech was coming back "t-to~"
"shiva? care to explain yourself?"
"kill me~" I must atone for my sins "kill me Keito, I can't bare to live knowing I tried to kill my friends twice~" I am such a horrible friend why do I live, "you're such a loser, just explain yourself and we can forgive you, even I know you didn't mean it" but I feel so guilty.
"what happen to shiva? I never saw him act like that?" kurumu was really worried about what had just happened "yeah he tried to hurt you and now moka, it is worrying"
"no yukari, I mean this time he wasn't … in control of the situation~"
"hmmm~ now that you mentioned it?" Keito released as well, "when I attacked him he was sluggish in response?"
"yeah even walking towards moka he limbed a bit" it was fairly obvious to this group "but we need his reasoning behind this" moka spoke up "that is the final piece, why he lashed out but I have my faith!"
"Yeah! Me too" kurumu added "hey, I don't hate the man he's strong and that is all I need" Keito suggested "I plan of making sure he lives happily so I'm going to help him" mizore slid her way into the conversation freaking others out a little bit then, "hey everyone~" shiva came "hello shiva! are you okay now?"
"yeah~ I'm feeling a little better now" he came in looking exhausted "oh darling, you sure you're okay? you look tired~"
"I am~ but that's about it"
"okay~ would you like to tell us what you told ruby?" moka suggested sheepishly "oh sure, if you insist but it isn't that interesting"
"okay shiva I know you meant no harm but can you explain you lashed out?"
"I don't know ruby, one moment I'm meeting the doctor then next I'm strangling moka with my bare hands!" I curled up in a ball terrified now "what's happening to me~?" I spoke in a dead tone concerning ruby "why am I attacking people I care about, people I love!~ I- I just want to know what I did to deserve this~"
"shiva no one deserves punishment" ruby placed her arm on my shoulder, grabbing my attention "it is thrown at others to make sure you don't forget the things you truly care about, that is why you didn't kill your friends and why my master is an example of the other end of the stick"
"oh yeah~ I kind of forgot about the old witch, is she resting well?"
"well she's dead but I did plant her in the garden we grew up in and that's doing okay"
"that is what I meant, we mustn't forget the dead 'to be forgotten is a fate not even our enemies should live with'"
"that's really beautiful"
"yeah my older sister Shera used to tell me that, I used a lot of their lifestyles for my own~"
"well, I think everything here has been cleared up and I recommend you don't walk alone for a while"
"thanks ruby, I'll keep note of that and stick with my friends however I am feeling a little tired, so the bed might take more priority" she got a giggle out of that "that is okay, today has been weird"
"tell me about it."
I immediately broke the 'rule' ruby gave me, to not walk alone but I my defence it was to the toilet. "if I follow the signs I should get lost, right?" I'm kind of worrying myself "it says next left so next left and Wow!" I slipped on a pool of sorts "what the? I think the janitor Is sleeping on the job" I placed my hand down on the floor but when I looked towards it, the colour was a familiar colour "i-is this bl- AH! Gees!" the room I'm in was full of corpses "what happen here?!"
"ahh~ I'm glad I found you~" this voice why do I remember it "hello again Mr Abaddon, I'm from the outcast ayashi and this time I am to personally eliminate you, too bad your friends couldn't join you" from the shadows a girl with white hair and blood stained nurses clothes? "you say the outcast ayashi! Why do you persist to annoy me!?"
"weird, I was going to ask the same thing but that is your own fault, you shouldn't of messed with someone like us" *grab*
"Hey!? you're alive?!" the 'corpses' were moving "well they technically are dead, I just can control them with my fluids when I inject it into them"
"Wait a second! Inject!? You inject a mind control liquid into them?!" my brain ached as memories filled in "wow the doctor is correct, you are too smart for your own good figured that from inject even after the memory erasure, your death will be even more impressive!" *chomp!*
"Ahh! Get off!" they all climbed me weighting me down "Now hold still! And die quietly please!" her finger launched at me she was going to use me again, "No!" my mind blanked out when I saw pink hair cover my vision "I'm sorry shiva~ I wanted to protect you but I had no choice but to jump in the way~" it was moka she took the injection "but don't worry~ I know you'll pull through" she started to fall and I went to catch her but she unconsciously fell forward into my chest *tink!* and ripped my rosary off "Moka!" in an explosion of fire those embers burned the sparks I needed, releasing me from the flesh wall on me "Wow! Such untameable power! I must make you my puppet now!" those horrific nails spiralled towards me, such a disgusting sight *shink!* "AHhh! My fingers!"
"there those were my biggest problem, now let me finish the job!"
"Don't mess with me! I'm a member of outcast ayashi! This wouldn't be the end of-Gyak!"
"Shut up already you annoying bitch!" this has ended with a round house kick cracking her jaw. "so moka looks like you can take off my rosary, I guess we are a cute pair now" *slap!*
"ow moka that isn't very nice~" she had a dead look signally me "oh I see, the serum is still working" she went for another swing but I caught her in a hug "don't worry I'll forgive you after the serum is gone, k?" her dull eyes leaked tears but I knew they were kind spirted.
