Mimiko POV
A few days later
"The disappearance of the woman is devastating, any evidence relating to the crime is unknown, although her appearance has been reported several times, any leads to where she may be are none" I sighed, the daily news, Jiro couldn't see this, he would just freak out and be really worried about Kotaru. He was so simple minded, stop bad guys, save Kotaru, resurrect Alice, and die in the process. Okay, I would not be okay with that game plan!
I heard the door open, Jiro was home; I immediately turned off the TV. "What did you get?" I asked, since he had gone shopping. He began pulling think out of the bag as he said, "Rice, Teriyaki, noodles, and I grabbed some cookies for Kotaru." His voice was so gentle, sometimes it was hard to believe that he was the so-called, 'Silver Blade'.
Kotaru ran up, "Cookies!" he sang, I smiled, "Not now Kotaru, after dinner." He looked kind of bummed when I said that, but he walked off and talked to Jiro. Kotaru was so positive and sweet, but all the same very brave. Just like Jiro. I looked through the fridge, looking for fish, "You forgot the fish, Jiro" I said, slightly annoyed, how did I not have fish?
"Sorry Mimiko!" he apologized, I smiled lightly, "Don't worry about it; I will go get some now. You stay and watch Kotaru." He didn't seem happy about this, but I left before he could protest. I walked towards the store, I felt like something, or someone for that matter was watching me. I looked around quickly, nothing. That was relieving, but the feeling wouldn't retreat. I took in a deep breath. It didn't help so I decided to ignore it.
Soon I was at the nearby store; I quickly grabbed some Salmon, paid and walked out. My heart stopped for a second, and I immediately began running the opposite direction of home. What was she doing here? What did she want with me? Why Cassandra? Or as Jiro calls her, Cassa. I ran as fast I my feet would possibly take me.
Was Cassandra going to kill me? Probably, I really do get the feeling she doesn't like me, well because of the circumstances. I honestly do think we could have been friends. It doesn't matter now, does it? We can't be friends at all because of these circumstances.
I ran into an alley, I went as fast as I could, then I stopped abruptly, "No" I muttered. There was a dead end. I turned around, I would run. One flaw though, there was Cassandra. Crap. There was no more running from her. I was stuck in one spot, waiting for my doom. Cassandra stalked towards me, my heart began to race. "Ji-!" I yelled, but before I could scream '-ro' there was a knife at my throat. My heart skipped a beat, maybe two. "Say anything, and I will kill you."Cassandra threatened. The Salmon in my bag dropped, Cassandra quickly glanced at it, and then had her eyes back on me. My eyes flickered back and forth. Wasn't there someone who could help me?
Jiro POV
About the same time
I looked at the clock, where was Mimiko? She was only going to get fish. I was beginning to get worried; she had a tendency to get herself into trouble, and with Cassandra in the special zone that could make things a lot worse. Then it hit me! How had I forgotten? Mimiko is a perfect target for Casa! I had to find Mimiko, and fast! What about Kotaru? I couldn't leave him alone!
But why am I even so worried about Mimiko, she is just a friend, not to mention there are other people who could help. Why did I feel like I HAD to go? Why couldn't I let someone else help her? 'Because if I did it might be too late' a voice echoed inside my mind. I couldn't leave her, every moment she had helped me in a critical situation flashed repeatedly in my head. I had to go, if I didn't I don't what I would do. Mimiko was special to me, I couldn't leave her, especially now.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Kotaru said, he must have just walked in, there was something very wrong, but I couldn't tell Kotaru that. I smiled lightly, "Do you want to go the young lady's house?" I asked him, already knowing the answer. Kotaru nodded his head, "Why don't you go then?" He went immediately, now I didn't need to explain anything, which was a relief! I ran out looking every for Mimiko, where is she?
Return to Mimiko POV
During Jiro's search
Cassandra had a hideously evil smile planted on her face, "What are you going to do?" I asked courageously. With the hand she wasn't holding the knife with she punched me as hard as she could in my stomach. For a second I gasped for air, "Be careful, or else next time I will use the knife." Why was she keeping me alive? She had intentions, they weren't pleasant. I wish I actually knew what they were!
I secretly prayed for Jiro to come, but all the same I didn't want him to. I had a feeling this was all to get a hold of Jiro. So I ended up praying Jiro didn't come. Cassandra would hurt him. I felt a huge pain on my neck, a sound of pain exited my mouth, and Cassandra was pushing the knife against my neck harder. Soon I knew why, in front of me was Jiro, and until now I hadn't realized my hands were on her arm, attempting to push it away. Now I was very weary from resisting, but I didn't dare make a sound, Jiro, noticing this said, "Let go of her now!" he began to walk towards us.
Cassandra's smiled just widened, "Take one more step closer and I will kill her"
