Her Return
Chapter Twenty-Three
Aya's eyes widened, blood splattered all over her as she stared up into someone's face… Vegeta's face. Life was starting to slowly drift away from his eyes as he looked down at Aya. Blood started to trickle down the side of his mouth. His face grew pale as his body jerked and another gushing sound could be heard. Still, even though Areiko's arm was lunged into his body, Vegeta still managed to keep that same old smirk on his face.
Suddenly, Vegeta was whipped backwards, Areiko's arm exited out of Vegeta's back. The prince rolled on the ground and stopped, lying in the dirt face down. Aya sat upright suddenly sending a rush of pain going through her body. Areiko placed a wicked smirk onto her face watching as Aya ran towards Vegeta.
"Vegeta!!" Aya screamed getting down by his side. She rolled him over slowly applying pressure onto his back wound trying to stop the bleeding. Vegeta was coughing, as he coughed, more blood seemed to find its way out of his mouth. Aya started to wipe it off, but more just kept coming. From the amount of blood that was escaping Vegeta's mouth, Aya knew that Areiko had hit some vital organs, and that could mean his death. Without Dende, and with half of the city destroyed, Vegeta wouldn't last long without life support.
"Hang in there Vegeta," Aya said to him. Vegeta just nodded, unable to talk from the blood in his mouth. Aya turned her head to look at Areiko. She was sitting on the ground like some type of dog liking her arm savoring the taste of blood that doused it.
Aya lightly placed Vegeta on the ground, she knew that he was strong, and he would hang on as long as he could. Aya knew that very well. From living with him all of her life she pretty much knew how the prince of saiyans worked.
When the short teenager stood up, she instantly caught the attention of the animal Areiko. Aya knew better then to make eye contact with an animal, but this was Areiko. It wasn't a wild animal, it was her best friend. Even though her best friend was speaking to her in some different language and tried killing her; this was Son Areiko. The girl that she played pranks on Vegeta with. The girl that tortured populars in school. The girl that she'd get in trouble with in their math class during her freshmen year. The girl that kicked the crap out of a load of people and caused Scott to lose his popularity, making him one of them. The girl that was so cheerful, outgoing, and at times, dumb as a pig, or even dumber. Areiko was still her best friend, her sister, and Aya wasn't going to fight her.
"I'm not going to fight you Reiko-chan!" Aya called out to make sure that she heard her. "Do whatever you like, I refuse to fight you!"
Areiko placed a wide smirk onto her face. "Hear that Areiko? She won't fight you."
Aya! No!
"What are you getting all worked up for? She's not fighting you, she's fighting me."
But she doesn't know that! Please!! Stop!!
"Haha! Make me!"
Areiko charged forward, running in zig-zagged lines. Aya's eyes widened, shocked at the sudden speed that Areiko gained within only minutes. Aya blinked a few times when she saw that she disappeared. She glanced around a little bit as she then turned and looked behind.
Aya's face was suddenly hit with a powerful fist, sending her onto the ground. Aya tumbled a few times but then stopped when she felt someone's foot plant into her stomach.
"Oof!"
Aya rolled again, stopping on her stomach. She clenched her eyes biting her lip to stop herself from screaming. Areiko was laughing wickedly and demonically as she continued to pound her foot into her back on the gashes causing them to bleed more and sending more pain to rush through the eighteen year old's body.
Kira was up on a cliff top watching as Areiko beat the crap out of her best friend. She was getting a kick out this. She loved this so much that she seated herself down onto the side of the cliff, her legs hanging off of the side. She swung them as they dangled there; she was one of those people that had to swing their legs around if they weren't touching the ground. She rested her elbow onto her knee resting her chin into the palm of her hand. Kira smirked as she watched her sister grab onto the back of Aya's neck and began to slam her into the ground over and over again.
"Father Orx, you did a wonderful job." Kira began to talk to herself. "But, you were so stupid making her the way that she is. You should've known that there was something bound to go wrong." she paused again and then smirked. "You did know that this was going to happen..."
As Kira watched Areiko more, she then realized that there were two sides of her, even though she realized this before when she was talking in saiyan, but this side seemed to be taking its time killing the girl. Probably torturing the lighter side of her sister.
A wide and grim full smirk appeared on Kira's face, "she's loving this just as much as I am."
"K-Kira…"
Kira blinked, she turned her head to see Goku placing his feet onto the ground. He then fell forwards onto his face, wincing in pain. Kira rolled her eyes as she stood up off of the cliff and approached him.
"Y-You're… going… d-down." Goku said looking up into her purple eyes as he coughed. Kira sighed heavily bending down to face Goku, her knees cracked.
"What are you going to do?" Kira asked looking at the saiyan. "You're going to die. You have only… what? Fifteen minutes left?"
Goku was still coughing. He turned his head away spitting up blood, his eyes wide. Kira laughed as she then grabbed onto Goku by his wrist dragging him over to the edge of the cliff. She seated him down holding him upright as she then sat down next to him. Her right arm wrapped around his shoulders pulling him close to her to make sure that he didn't go anywhere.
"Look down Goku," Kira pointed down at Areiko as she continued to beat Aya. "You see that?"
Goku locked his eyes onto Areiko.
"She's not the Lekira that you used to know." Kira started. "She's much different, much stronger, and more ruthless. She's something that you'll never understand."
"Oh… y-yeah?"
Kira nodded, "yes! Look at what she did to your prince." Kira moved her finger over towards Vegeta, who was losing more and more blood as he laid there. "She did that with one simple thrust of her hand. She's unstoppable."
Goku turned his eyes looking at Kira, "tell me…" Goku started. "Why… why do you want to kill Areiko so badly?"
"Why?" Kira repeated, as if it was a dumb question to ask. She laughed, and laughed hard. "Why you ask?"
Goku stared at Kira, completely serious. Kira looked at him, "I can see that you were serious…" Kira smirked. "You see Goku, it's like this."
Goku winced as he felt a slight pain dig into his shoulder. He turned his head to look to see Kira's claws dug deep within his flesh. He listened as she started speaking.
"My father wasn't stupid," Kira began, "he knew what he was doing. And he knew that with the creation of Sister Lekira down there… flaws were going to follow."
"F-flaws?" Goku repeated.
"Yes, flaws." Kira looked up into the sky. "Sister Lekira was created to only kill; she didn't know that what she was doing was wrong. She always thought that it was the only way to live. So, basically, she needed to be taught things. Father Orx never taught her anything because he knew that she wasn't going to last.
"That's when he made her his sex toy."
Goku's eyes widened looking down at Areiko.
"He was hoping to create actual saiyans," Kira sighed, "but, she never produced. He even gave her to the guards, but the guards were much to afraid of her. Considering they knew what she was capable of, you see Goku."
Suddenly, Goku was pulled closer to Kira, a little to close for comfort. "She's powerful. Her type of power should always be kept under control. But he knew," Kira started waving her finger. "He knew that no matter what he did, she was going to turn on him. So, this is how my other siblings, and myself. Came about."
Goku looked at her.
"Yes, there are others." Kira began pushing Goku away, but keeping him within her grip. "During our creation, he fed us information of Sister Lekira, and even gave us special abilities to stop her. We were created to kill her, and she was created to kill. Kind of ironic how that works huh?
"But of course, we weren't going to be released unless we were needed." Kira stated. "Father Orx knew that the more information we were given about her power, we would want to exceed her, but never surpass him. If you get what I'm trying to say."
"Yeah…" Goku coughed. "You want to stay as puppets."
Kira dug her claws deeper within his flesh, causing blood to trickle down his shoulder a bit. "No, not puppets. We only wanted to keep our lives. Now that Father Orx is dead, we can kill Sister Lekira anyway we want."
Goku stared at Kira as he turned and looked at Areiko again. "A…"
Kira looked at Goku oddly, he took a minute to finish his word, and then he shouted it out. "AREIKO!"
Areiko suddenly stopped, right when she was about to kill Aya. She stood upright and turned her head looking up at the top of the cliff. There she saw Goku seated right next to Kira, her claws dug deep into his flesh.
"D-Don't!"
Kira sighed. "You're get annoying." She said. She stood up, grabbing Goku by the back of his neck and holding him outwards. Kira could see that Areiko was fighting with herself again. That's why she was holding Goku over the cliff, to see if she would let him die, or save him.
"Let's see what side of you IS actually stronger!" Kira shouted out, "with the poison in his body! He won't be able to save himself! He'll fall to his death."
P-poison?
"Let him fall Areiko, he doesn't care about you."
"It's your choice! Let him fall to his death! Or save him!"
Goku closed his eyes, feeling the grip on his neck starting to disappear.
Goku… I can't. I can't let him die!
"Yes you can! He'll only be in the way!"
Who's way?! Yours?! I don't think so!
"He'll be in ours! I'm not doing this for myself, I'm doing it for the both of us, but mainly you sister."
Fuck you! You're not my sister!
"No, I'm you."
Kira looked at Goku. "By the look on her face Goku… you might die here." Her grip on Goku's neck disappeared, and he plummeted towards the ground.
