Chapter 4: Kamayu, a Toki No Miramoru, and some Strange Eyes too!
"Dark, return to me, return to me so we can be together….again…" an eerie voice whispered in the thief's mind. Dark's eyes were clouded over as he spoke back.
"Yes….I will come…"
Kimi sprang up and ran after Dark in such a hurry that she almost stumbled on her own two feet. At the sight of Dark not so far ahead the girl sped up like a cheetah to stop him; then, without her noticing, a spear flew through the air.
"Eeek!" She jumped back and hit her captor, who then threw her against a tall elm tree with incredible force that knocked the wind out of her. As she tried to recover her breath on the ground two pairs of feet stood before her. She painfully moved her head up and looked straight in the faces of the pairs' owners, and to her surprise found that they belonged to none other than dark and a mysterious girl wearing a silver tiara.
"Who a-are you…?" Kimi gasped in tiny wheezes.
"I am Kamayu. Dark, take his girl back to the castle."
"Yes, Kamayu, as you wish." Dark then roughly hauled Kimi on his shoulders and flew to a clear area occupied by a castle, like the ones built for Britain kings. In a beautifully decorated room Dark cruelly tied Kimi's hands to a chair he forced her to sit on.
"Dark, don't you remember me at all? You know me, I'm Kimi!" the girl yelled, in hope that he would say yes, but her hope was denied.
"I know no girl named Kimi, I only know the name of the high Toki No, Kamayu." Not a word was said after that because just then the door flew open and there, standing in the doorway, was Kamayu herself. She walked in as if she were riding a cloud and looked at Kimi with a curiosity that looked almost terrifying.
"It's true, it really did happen," Kamayu spoke, half to herself, the other to the rest of the people in the room.
"Who are you? Why did you brainwash Dark?" Kimi yelled, but was silenced when Kamayu placed her index and middle fingers on her forehead.
"Become one of us Kimi; join the clan of the Miramoru…"
"Become on of you, why wou…." She was silenced after that, her eyes glazed over. Suddenly, Kamayu expression changed to shock and she withdrew her fingers quickly and walked over to a chair, shivering.
"Kamayu, are you alright?" Dark said, attending to her.
"I am fine, but…" She stopped as the tiara on her head illuminated black and released and ominous image into the room. All the guards were destroyed; the only ones left in the room were Kamayu, Dark, and Kimi, who now sat as if she had seen a vision. The completely black room started to fade away to a slightly dark gray in the center of the room, and soon to a pale gray. Then the scene became clear to both the eyes still open in the room. A village, burned and crumbling, lay in the middle while a giant, ferocious demon with a terrible demonic power and darkness miasma strode over it. A speeding blur in white and light aqua clothes flew towards the demon on wings of an angel. It attacked at such speed and accuracy that Dark lost sight of it for a moment.
"No….. This can't be…" Kamayu whispered in a voice that trembled.
The giant demon quickly grabbed the speeding thing in mid-air and held it, and then the humongous thing clenched the already closed fist and gave the angel pain of a thousand flames. It laughed at the small thing in his hand and spoke for the very first time.
"Worthless being, you can never beat me, you would have to face millions of hells before you could ever face my power, I shall now turn you into one of my minions just so you could be spared from the engulfing flames of the Underworld!"
"Hey you big ugly thing, over here, get me instead!" A boy with light blonde hair and blue eyes jumped up onto a roof of a building and sent and electrical blade whirling at the beast.
"Haha, what a small toy that you've sent me. It can't defeat me in any way" He sent the blade whirling in a different direction; he pushed the boy off the roof as hard as if he was hit by a car. The boy, weak and in terrible pain, tried to get up and face the colossal monster, using all of his energy just to get up; he could never make it onto his two feet though.
"D-D-Damn you, R-R-R-Riko…" His voice trailed off and stopped as he coughed up a handful of blood onto the dry ground. "Dammit…," He whispered in a low whisper to himself.
Just then the vision faded and Kimi woke up in a shocked position. Kamayu sat with her tiara, blackened like the ashes of a burnt out fire, her hands the color of stone. Dark, however, broke free of Kamayu's control and rushed over to where Kimi was.
"My Dark, where are you going?" Kamayu asked in a soft voice.
"I'm not your Dark, I don't even know you! Kimi are you okay?"
"I-I'm fine, just a little bit shaken up."
"You don't remember about us, Dark? If you don't then…..I shall make you remember." She then used the power of her black gem and created a scene of a tranquil summer night where Dark and her were standing next to a tree, but the scene vanished just as Kamayu looked down at herself. There, protruding from her heart was a black spear engraved with the words: I thought my heart was claimed by the darkness; some how it lived. Soon my soul shall fly again. Kamayu turned into the blossoms of a plum tree revealing the person who had thrown the spear at her. Their face was covered by the shadows of the room, but his eyes were clear. They somehow reminded Dark of…
"Those eyes, they resemble Krad's! Come back here!" The caped phantom escaped the scene, too fast for Dark; Dark cursed for thirty seconds after he had lost him. "Dammit! I lost the guy! It can't be Krad it just can't!"
"Dark, I think we should get out of this castle and clear things out in the next city," Kimi said in a strange voice.

Whew, now the chapter is done! Oh yeah, I may not have mentioned this, but the Toki No Miramoru is the tiara on Kamayu's forehead, it's very beautiful, as pretty as the mirror (maybe prettier) that Emiko gave Riku. I think this could be the longest chapter yet, anyways, who was the guy who "destroyed" Kamayu? Why was a vision of a burning village in Kimi's memories? Who was the injured boy and the angel? All questions will be answered in future chapters!
