Chapter 5: De Ja Vu
The silence was broken only by the occasional crash of thunder and crack of lightning as the rain came down in sheets, turning the sand beneath the group into a mud-like consistency.
"Nyuu's…."
Kouta began, but he felt the anger rise in his chest. This was some sort of sick joke, he couldn't believe this was true! He wouldn't believe it, after everything he had gone through will Nyuu how could he still have to deal with this?! "YOU'RE LYING"
He moved faster than anyone could blink as he grabbed the girl by the shoulders and shook her; his body moved on its own accord, fueled by the pain in his heart that he held since childhood.
"K-KOUTA!"
Yuka cried out in shock as she watched the one she loved shake this young child violently by the shoulders. She couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl, after all by the look of her she had already suffered so much.
"YOU'RE LYING! YOU'RE LYING! NYUU'S GONE! SHE'S GONE! YOU CAN'T BE HER DAUGHTER! SHE NEVER HAD A KID! YOU'RE LYING TO ME! WHO ARE YOU ?! WHAT DO YOU WANT?!"
His questions were not intended to be answered, but he kept spewing them out one after another in his rage. Someone, he did not know who, was playing some sort of sick, twisted joke on him by bringing that girl here! He didn't even notice the three girls pulling him away from the Diclonius child, but soon realized he was only shaking the air now.
The child looked at him in shock, as if surprised he would act that way at all…he had such a gentle face so how could he have been so violent? It all was too much for the child to take, her body was tired from running, hungry from starvation, beaten and wounded, but it had only now come crashing down on her all together…
Thwumph….
The child hit the sand face first…
Mayu cried out in surprise, going to check if she was dead. She placed her index and middle finger to the side of the child's pale neck…Thump-thu-thump….There it was, her pulse, but it was weak and extremely frail.
"She needs help." Mayu announced to the others, and without hesitation Nana managed to lift the child onto her back as Yuka brought over the umbrella to shield the girl from the rain, despite her being soaked already…Kouta stared in anger as his friends helped the girl, he didn't want anything more to do with it, but he couldn't harden his heart enough to let a child die.
"I guess we'll shelter her…..For now."
He said through clenched teeth as he fought within himself to push the anger back down into his gut, but he felt the sting of tears behind his eyes threatening to spill over…He led the way to the Maple in…Keeping watch for anyone who may have been chasing the girl.
Yuka sighed quietly as her eyes trailed from Kouta to the pink haired child being carried on Nana's back.
"Its like its starting all over again…"
