I'm going to finish this story. Just this chapter and the epilogue.

There is some slight gore, I apologize.


Chapter Eleven: Crimson Flower

SeeU's POV


I sighed, everything was done.

The truth had been told, no matter how much it hurt everyone.

Neru knelt on the ground, tears flooding her eyes. Honestly, I had known right from the start when Haku had gone missing, she was dead.

I acted like I knew nothing so I wouldn't hurt Neru even more.

Miki was angry, not caring about how much she was worrying Piko.

Luka had almost snapped.

Gumi had been untied and Miku was talking to Rin and Len.

Meiko and Kaito were next to me.

I looked at Kaito, "What ever happened to you and Gakupo?"

Kaito shook his head, "We used to be best friends. He stabbed me in the back. When I was reunited with Meiko after years, I spent a lot of time with her, blowing off Gakupo. He captured me and had Haku and Neru deform me. I was the first member of the Dark Woods circus,"

Meiko sighed, "Gakupo, Kaito and I used to be old time friends when we were younger. I had moved away, but when I grew up I moved back,"

Miku glomped me, "SeeU! You did it! You totally saved us all!"

Kaito patted Miku's head, "Yeah, she sure did,"

Meiko smiled.

Rin and Len didn't move.

They were silent, looking in different directions.

Miku shivered.

Kaito peered up.

Meiko looked to her left.

I looked behind me to see Luka… cowering under the sword of Lily.

Gakupo's eyes widened, as if he was trying to figure out what was really going on.

Luka pulled the whip out of her belt, whipping Lily's sword away.

Lily growled.

"What are you doing?" Lily screamed.

"What am I doing! What are you doing?" Luka shouted back.

Lily dusted off her sword, "Fine. If you don't want to be the first to go, then he will,"

Her finger was pointed towards Mikuo.

He gulped, grasping the sword he had in his belt.

Lily went for a full-fledged jump attack…


Gumi's POV

The last thing that went through my ears was Mikuo's scream.

Lily had cut his cheek, his face now oozing red blood.

My mother clutched her head in pain and Lily laughed.

"You stupid, stupid spirits!" she squealed.

Mikuo pulled his sword out, but Lily was too quick, she hit him with another slash, this time hitting his shoulder.

He clutched his shoulder as Lily cackled again.

I closed my eyes as Mikuo screeched again, I peered through my hands and saw that she had slashed his leg, blood dripping all over the floor.

His teal shirt was becoming red from blood and Lily stood over him, sword in hand.

She smirked before pointing the sword at his neck.

The tears from his eyes were dyed crimson red…

Tears dripped from my eyes, as if an older brother was being attacked.

I looked at everyone else.

SeeU didn't move.

Miku was sobbing.

Miki was smiling… Piko with her.

Neru was too busy crying over Haku…

My father had his hand on my mom's shoulder, comforting her.

My mom's hands were rubbing her temples.

Lily let out an attack scream before I covered my eyes, my tears splashing on the floor.

Then Lily screamed a scream of fear, not power.

I took my hands away from my eyes to see my mother's whip wrapped around Lily's waist.

"No more," she said.

Lily cut through her whip, pointing the sword at Luka's throat.

"You wanna play it that way, sweetie? Then we'll play it that way,"

Luka smirked, pulling out a sword and hit Lily's.

It went flying out of Lily's hands.

Luka pushed Lily on the ground.

"You are an abomination to everyone here,"

Lily moved slowly upwards, grabbing her sword.

The two went out into a duel, slashing each other left and right until Lily fell on the floor, Luka's sword pointed at her throat.

"Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you."

Lily panted, "B-because I'm trying to save you,"

My mom scoffed, "Yeah, right,"

"You don't understand, Luka, I- I want to protect her! If you continue this way, Ritsu will make you kill your own daughter!"

She looked down, "Why kill Mikuo then?"

"Because I'm trying to get the spirits… OUT!" she shouted.

Then she put her sword through my mother's chest.

"MOM!" I screamed out her name so loud, my throat hurt right when I was done.

Pink blood gushed out of her chest as her body fell to the floor.

Lily smiled, putting her sword into Mikuo's head as he lay in his teal blood.

Lily fell to the ground after, and I saw my father's head down and his katana through her small waist.

Everyone looked down, my father's arms around my small body.

I broke from his grip.

"Why did you all just stand there? WHY DIDN'T YOU GET UP AND HELP HER? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?"

Miku sobbed, her tears splashing everywhere.

SeeU looked down…

Kaito and Meiko looked around…

"Well? Why aren't you saying anything?"

SeeU took a breath, "Gumi…" she said.


I hope you all enjoyed this story! All that's left is the epilogue, which will be in SeeU's POV the whole time.

I really like doing Gumi's POV for this because I feel like it's her moment. I know she called her mom Luka, but I didn't feel like saying mother or my mom for everything and I thought it sounded better as Luka.

Once again I apologize for the slight gore but I really needed to add it.

Alright, this will be one of my final author's notes…

See you in the epilogue! (Which will be really soon)
