Note: I'm really sorry for not updating, I had a major Writer's Block not only on this story, but on all four of mine.
Yay, this is my first story on FF that's reached double-digit chapters! Wait, why am I getting excited over that...? Anyway, read on!
Chapter 10: Visible!
"Who…who are you?" the other Kimi asked. After a long pause she asked again. In that instant the older Kimi realized it. 'She can see me? No way…had that lady done it to torture me more…'
"I'll ask again: Who are you? You're not part of them are you?"
"No, no, I'm, um…" She hesitated for a second. 'I can't tell her my name; if she freaks out that I'm her…but…'
"Well, are you going to answer or what?"
"I'm…Karin." Kimi hoped that that could be a good cover-up name until the right moment. The other Kimi went over and frisked her before nodding in approval.
"My name's Kimi."
"Nice to meet you, Kimi," the older one said, trying to hold back saying that she was her. "Why are you out here? Who is this boy right here too?"
"He's…my brother…I got chased and I found him like this…" She started to tear up. The older Kimi placed a hand on her younger shoulder and tried to comfort her.
"It's okay, you don't have to tell me the whole thing. Look, let's set up camp, you look really tired and hungry."

Sukimaru stared in horror as the bullet flew, but not because he saw his life flashing before him; it was because the girl had offered her body to Death to save him. She stood before him, shielding him the best she could before she went down, cold and lifeless. The older Sukimaru suddenly burst into rage and dived towards the man with the gun without caring that he wasn't going to hit him. Surprisingly, Sukimaru had gathered so much rage (or so he thought was the cause) that he was able to land a blow on the man. He moved backwards, tripped over a chair, and hit his head on a vase.
"Come on, hurry up!" The younger understood, and, with tears in his eyes, left the horrid house.
"Who are you?" the younger one asked as they raced into the fields of emerald grass that now started to look like a golden sea.
"You'll never believe this…" Sukimaru said as he stopped to rest under a tree. "But…I'm you."
"What? How's that possible? I mean, you've got to be from the future right?"
"Just listen to me; I know what will happen next in your life, and if you don't follow my orders then you'll have a painful eight years ahead of you."
"What can be more painful then now?"
"Trust me; you don't want to know…yet." Sukimaru answered darkly.

"Kokuyoku, do you know the power of Zukinen?"
"Zukinen? You mean ancient magic that combines one emotions--!"
"And turns it into power so powerful that most sorcerers in the old ages couldn't even control it? Yes, it's that type of magic." At that moment the other Dark suddenly tried to lunge at the figure.
"You did all that so you can turn me into something nobody wants to be? You're twisted; you know that in the process the person using the magic and the specimen could die? Did you also know that hundreds of lives would have to be sacrificed just to complete it?"
"Yes, but I don't care, I've got everything figured out." The figure walked over to a basin filled with blood and started to chant an incantation. The other Dark was immobilized for a minute before white and black energy, in the form of feathers, starting coming from his body. All the feathers landed in the basin of blood, and as soon as they touched the water the basin glowed a bluish-white light. The other Dark started screaming in pain as his body seemed to start to painfully disappear. He had to stop this before he disappeared forever. Taking a black feather he suddenly jumped in front of the figure chanting and sent a blast of purple energy. The figure dodged and the incantation stopped, halting the searing pain that both Darks felt.
"Wh-Who are you…?" the other Dark asked painfully, gasping for air. 'What the hell…so that witch made me part of my memory.'
"I'm you, and if you want to live on then do as I say!" Dark replied.
"Guards, get the intruder!" the shadow yelled. Men surrounded Dark, but Dark weaved pass them. The other Dark jumped up and followed Dark down the stairs.
"If you're me, then why are you here?"
"I'm, not you all the way…you have another half named Krad," Dark panted. "Get ready to jump when I say three." Guards started to mass the staircase in front of them like germs multiplying.
"Okay," the other Dark answered.
"Three!" Both Darks jumped the staircase side and landed on the one underneath it and started dashing madly to the exit.
The figure stared at them as they escaped own the tower. He then went to a nearby cupboard and pulled out a sword. "It has begun…Kokuyoku, in order to stop your new found powers you shall be sealed by the Death-Sealing Sword!"
Hope you guys liked it! I've got nothing else to say right now except please review!
