Her Return
Chapter Seven
The woman who took Areiko's form headed to West City skipping over the Son House. She decided that her massacre would start there. It would be the most logical place anyway. Of course she knew that Areiko was basically wanted by everyone now, but that gave her more enjoyment. She could actually kill people who ran towards her instead of away from her. Inside she felt all happy because she was finally going to be able to kill and eat human flesh instead of animal. To her, human flesh always gave her more energy then animals.
She adjusted the bag on her shoulder groaning. "What the hell does she have in this fucking bag?" the lavender haired woman pulled the bag off of her shoulder placing it onto the ground. She bent down onto her knees unzipping the bag.
She peered into the bag pulling out some of Areiko's clothing that she had packed for herself. She then spotted a wrinkled, kind of torn, picture at the bottom of the bag. She blinked picking it up. She unfolded the picture and looked at it.
There stood Areiko, she was standing in front of a microphone with a strap around her shoulder playing the acoustic guitar. In the back, a girl almost dressed in black was in the background playing the piano and over to the side was a boy playing a red electric guitar.
The woman made a discussing face. She crinkled up the picture tossing it to the side. The wind then took it away as she left the backpack and clothes scattered across the ground. "I'm not going to need those to do a massacre."
She then continued onward down the dirt path with a wide smirk plastered on her face.
Soon, she came to West City, and everyone recognized her. She grinned wickedly baring her fangs at the city people. She got onto all fours and charged herself forward killing the first officer within ten feet of her.
"Areiko!"
The woman stopped as she was about to devour her wonderful meal. She turned her head looking over her shoulder to see Yamcha, Krillin, and – surprisingly – Eighteen. She smirked getting up onto her feet wiping her mouth clean of the blood smearing it on her arm.
"What are you doing?" Yamcha asked, "you're acting like a monster!"
"That's what she is." Eighteen announced harshly. "Didn't you see what she did on the news?"
"Eighteen, this is Reiko we're talking about here," Krillin said to his wife. "We've always known that she's had this side of her. So she's not a monster."
The woman basically sat back and watched as the three of them talked about this. She yawned once then got extremely bored afterwards. She then threw her hand forward launching a ki beam straight through Yamcha. Yamcha was caught by surprise, but his surprise quickly ended when it took his life.
He fell lifelessly to the ground. Krillin and Eighteen were shocked as they looked down at their fallen comrade. Krillin growled looking back at her clenching his fists. The woman smirked as she got down onto all fours waiting for them.
"Are you coming? Or are you going to make me come to you?" she asked.
"Bitch!" Krillin shouted lunging himself forward. Suddenly, Eighteen got worried about her husband, but since this 'Areiko' just killed his best friend, she decided to stay out of the fight.
Krillin started throwing a series of fast punches. The fake Areiko dodged them easily. She then swiped her claws upwards cutting his chest open. Krillin winced in pain stumbling back. She then lunged forward again punching Krillin in his face.
Krillin tumbled but he got up onto his knees quickly. He lifted his hand into the air glaring at the fake Areiko as she stood there in front of him. "DESTRUCTO DISK!"
The woman smirked watching as this spinning ki blade thing came at her. She lifted up her hand stopping the attack then sending it back at Krillin. Krillin's eyes widened not being able to believe the fact that she was able to bounce his attack back.
"Krillin look out!" Eighteen came out of nowhere pushing him out of the way. The Destructo Disk flew right through Eighteen, cutting her at her midsection. Eighteen's eyes instantly became blank as her body hit the ground, in two. Krillin's eyes widened in horror as he looked at his wife, at both sections of her.
"Eighteen!" Krillin shouted. "Ei—" Krillin's eyes widened as he felt something go straight through his back. He looked down at his chest to see the woman's arm soaked in his blood. Krillin took one more gasp of life till he then hung against her arm.
She pulled her arm out of Krillin's body and watched as he fell forwards on top of his wife. She smirked turning around instantly looking at the crowd of people who were watching. She growled at them lifting up her arm licking the blood off of it.
"Anyone else wanna play?"
"AREIKO!"
The woman turned her head to see two people hovering in the air above her. She turned fully looking up at them. She recognized both of them. She smirked baring her fangs at them.
"Gohan…" Videl started looking at her husband. "I don't think that's Areiko."
"I wanna believe that too Videl." Gohan said looking over at his wife. "You go see if you can find my dad. I don't want you getting hurt."
"But…"
"Do it Videl!"
Videl stared at her husband. She then nodded her head turning around and taking off to go find her father-in-law. Gohan looked down at the girl that he assumed was Areiko. He lowered himself taking off his glasses and tossing them to the side. He then took off his pullover jacket.
"Just getting out of work?" the woman asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"Maybe." Gohan replied. "Why did you kill them?"
"They were getting on my nerves," she answered truthfully. "This is so much fun you know. You should try it."
Gohan stayed silent just staring at her.
"GOHAN!"
Gohan turned his head to see Piccolo landing behind. He took off his turban hat and cape approaching Gohan. He looked at him seriously and then started speaking. "This isn't Areiko."
The woman rolled her eyes. She knew that someone was going to ruin her fun. Gohan blinked a few times looking back at the woman as she stood there with her arms crossed and her weight shifting from one leg to the other.
"What do you mean?"
"Her energy is different." Piccolo answered. "Can't you sense it?"
"Woops," the woman began lowering her arms. "I forgot to change that part."
"Who are you?" Gohan bellowed realizing that this wasn't his sister. "What did you do with the REAL Areiko?"
"The Areiko in which you seek is perfectly fine." The woman answered refusing to shape shift back to her normal self. She turned her head looking at Piccolo with a smirk. "You're a smart Namekian; I think I'll end your life first."
Piccolo growled. "Who are you?"
"I won't reveal my physical appearance to you." the woman smirked. "But I will tell you my name. It's Kira."
"Well Kira," Gohan started getting into his stance followed by Piccolo. "Your fun ends here!"
"You keep on telling yourself that."
Videl flew around West City till she finally spotted someone. "AYA!" she called out to her.
Aya – who was flying a few feet in front of Videl – turned her head to look at her. She came to a stop allowing Videl to catch up to her. She watched as Gohan's wife came flying up to her looking rather distraught.
"Is there something wrong Videl?" Aya asked watching as Videl came to a stop in front of her.
Videl nodded, "yeah." She answered. "There's something wrong with Areiko!"
"Where is she?" Aya asked.
"Down town." Videl pointed out. "When me and Gohan arrived there she had already killed Yamcha, Krillin, and Eighteen!"
Aya's eyes widened. She then took off flying towards down town. Videl watched her shouting out to her. "Aya! Where's Goku?"
"Don't worry about him!" Aya replied. "Find Marron and get to Capsule Corp! Inform Bulma and Trunks what's going on and tell them to get to the lookout! Then go look for Chichi and Goten! Get your daughter too!" Aya's voice trailed off as she disappeared into the distance leaving Videl behind to go look for everyone.
Aya knew that if what Videl said was true, it was only a matter of time that she either, one came in physical contact with Goku, Vegeta, Tien, or Chiaotzu. Or two, she'll find out for herself. When she came to down town, she was horrified.
Blood splattered everywhere, red and purple blood. Aya landed softly on the ground looking down and around. Aya only knew one person with purple blood, and that would be Piccolo. But the red blood could be anyone. She then turned her head over to see the corpses of Eighteen, Krillin, and Yamcha.
Aya cringed then looked away. "What's the matter?"
Aya looked up spotting Kira, who was still disguised as Areiko. "Haven't you ever seen blood before?" Kira kicked something at her feet.
Then Piccolo's corpse fell to the ground. Aya's eyes widened from the shock. He was covered in blood, from head to toe. Holes were found everywhere in his chest. His eyes were blank and lifeless as they stared at Aya.
"He wasn't the only one." Kira started getting Aya's attention again. Kira bent down picking up a body. She walked to the edge of the building.
Hanging in her grip by his wrist was Gohan. His shirt was all torn up with gashes on his exposing skin. His eyes were closed and blood poured over his right eye. His right arm was almost missing of its flesh, almost like someone was eating him alive. That's what they both looked like.
"Areiko you…"
Kira dropped Gohan; "who ever said that I was Sister Lekira?" she asked placing a wide smirk onto her face. "If I was, do you think I would be wasting my time talking to you?"
'Sister Lekira…?'
"Who are you damnmit!" Aya shouted clenching her fists. "And where is Areiko!"
"You pathetic humans." Kira seated herself down on the side of the building. "You keep on calling her Areiko. Her real name is Lekira. You do know what that means correct?"
Aya stayed silent.
"Silence is so golden." Kira said with a smirk. "You're silence tells me that you don't know."
"My silence means that I don't care!" Aya bellowed.
"That's a complete lie." Kira leaned back a little. "Her name means, killer or monster. And mine, it means shape shifter." Kira smirked, "I'm assuming that you know nothing of the saiyan customs or heritage. Even though you live with one."
"How did—"
"I know many things." Kira started. "Like you're name is Aya Briefs, and you were adopted by the Briefs family when you were three years old."
Aya stared at Kira.
She smirked, "see? I know almost everything. I've done my homework."
"What do you want?" Aya finally asked. Kira stood up then leapt off of the building landing in front of Aya approaching her.
"What do I want?" Kira repeated.
Aya walked backwards keeping her distance from the Areiko look-a-like. "I want to destroy everything in Sister Lekira's life. And then after that, kill her!"
Kira punched Aya, starting a war.
