Lazura: I know I don't put much author's notes in these chapters, but I was worried that some people would skip these parts of the chapters like my KHR fics. :( But there's a reason as to why I'm placing an author's note on this chapter.
It's because we're almost done with the first part of the Guilty Chains Series. :D Yeah! xD
[TRIPLE UPDATE (1/3)]
Disclaimer: I don't own Soul Eater at all except my ocs.
Previously
Sliding down to the floor, Aura's eyes were wide as she made a blank expression.
W-What's wrong with me?
She panicked inside her mind.
Why does Kid make me feel this...?
Aura blushed remembering Kid's smile when he held her hand.
Then the memories of her times close to Kid.
The time at the dance.
The time at the balcony (before Mathias).
The time at Operation Brew.
The time at the balcony with Mathias.
Finally to what had recently happened.
Does this mean...
She deadpanned making a small inward gasp to herself.
I'M IN LOVE WITH DEATH THE KID?!
"Oh nononononononononono!" She shook her head thrashing in anguish as Aura repeated the same phrase, "This can't be happening. This can't be happening. This can't be happening! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!"
"I can't!" She hiccuped as tears streamed, Aura buried her face into the palms of her hands, "I can't! I-I'll hurt Kid like my mother...I don't want to hurt anyone anymore!"
"Then, do you wish to return?" a familar voice entered.
Lifting her head immediately, Aura's voice trembled, "Y-You...!"
"It's been a long time hasn't it, my puppet?" There standing in the dead middle of the living room was none other than Asura, one of his bandages covering a shocked Mathias over the mouth.
"Mmmf!" Mathias cried from behind the bandages.
Now
"LET GO OF HIM!" Aura jolted up sending a kick to the Afreet in front of her. Only to be stopped by one of the Afreet's bandages wrapped around her foot.
"It's still useless, Aura."
Aura cursed under her breath, as the Afreet slammed her down to the ground , "You asshole!"
"Big sista Aurer!" Mathias yelled even though the bandages continued to muffle his voice.
"If I'm an asshole, then what are you?"
"Human, you fucking Afreet!"
"Heh." Aura soon froze as an uncanny sense of fear opened deep inside her. Cold steel touched her the skin of her neck.
A shackle clicked over her neck, as the afreet released the bandage covering her foot. Aura gasped as more shackled clasped on both her wrist and ankles. Pulling her down the floor, glancing down, she found her legs sinking into a black pool. It beared a similar sensation as the void from her dreams.
No...No...NO...NO!
"You damn Afreet! I'm not going back until you're dead!" Aura tried to shake off the pulling, but it tugged her farther in the portal.
"Since I'm nice, I'll let this boy join you as well." The Afreet threw Mathias into Aura's arms.
Catching the terrified boy into her arms, Aura glared back at the Afreet.
"You'll pay for this!"
"If you can return to this world that is..." The last thing Aura saw was the Afreet disappearing into thin air, as the void swallowed her and Mathias up. Leaving no trace behind them, except a faint mark on the floor of the room.
It was a muddied mark left by Aura's shoe as well as splatters of dirt were splashed on parts of the furniture, that the illusion Asura mistakenly forgotten.
At the Death Room
"AGHH!" Shade screeched in pain. He was clenching his chest painfully as Lord Death tried to calm him down. Shade trashed in Lord Death's hands as well. Lord Death didn't have the heart to chop him in the head, so he gently placed him on the floor.
"Lord Death! Shade! What happened!" Spirit charged in upon hearing the recent uproar in the Death Room through the mirror.
"Spirit, get Professor Sid and Nurse Nygus here quickly! If you can find Aura as well!" Lord Death commanded to the recently arrived Death Scythe.
"What's happening?" Lord Death muttered as Shade continued to scream his lungs out.
A few minutes later...
"Lord Death!" Nygus and Sid ran in immediately as well as Spirit returned to the room.
"What on Earth is happening to Shade?!" Sid questioned Lord Death who only gave, "I don't know...Nygus can you have Shade sedated?"
"Yes, Lord Death." Nygus readied one of the syringes in her pocket as she slowly injected the sedation inside Shade's vein. It forced Shade's body to return to a normal sleeping pace. Shade's eyes were closed, as he breathed calmly.
Lord Death turned to Spirit, "Have you found Aura?"
"No." Spirit answered, a grim expression was left on his face, "But in the apartment, a struggle was taken place. I found a muddied gashed foot print left by Aura's shoes."
"Aura and Mathias are missing, Lord Death."
Lord Death was saddened upon the news, "Someone must've kidnapped them, but from the looks of Shade's recent brash behavior now..."
"This can only mean one thing."
"What does this mean?" Sid asked the reaper.
Lord Death knew that the staff, Maka Albarn, Soul Eater Evans, and Death the Kid were aware of Aura arrived from a world different from there's. However they didn't know the reason as to how Aura came into this world. It was meant to be a secret between him and Shade, but this was different.
"The Afreet self of Asura has sent Aura back to her world." Lord Death hesitated as he continued his words, "But without Shade, Aura and Mathias have no way of returning here."
"Why is Shade necessary for Aura to return here?" Spirit continued.
"That is because Shade is the connection between our world and her's. Without Shade, Aura, is unable to move physically over here." Lord Death thus proclaimed, "Professor Sid, will you make sure: Maka Albarn, Soul Eater Evans, Kiddo, and the Thompson Sisters are here tomorrow. I need to deliver the news of their missing friends."
"I will do so." Sid promised.
"Now, lead Shade over to the infirmary. Nurse Nygus, keep an eye on him. If he continues to scream, sedate him longer. If he speaks, make sure you get everything he says to you."
"Yes, Lord Death." Sid, carrying shade on his back, and Nygus head off.
At Aura's Apartment
A shadow appeared inside the barren house.
Hovering over the area where Aura and Mathias had disappeared. The shadow figure smiled as it lifted placed a page onto the area.
"This may take a while over there, but with this page. I'll be able to return in about a few days later."
As the page glowed, the shadow figure's face was revealed.
Noah's face was shown as he quietly spoke while grinning, "I'm heading after you now."
As the same void-like portal appeared, Noah sank in as he awaited his arrival to the other world.
Lazura: Just a few more chapters, then I will proudly announce the title of Part two of the Guilty Chains Series. :)
Please Review.
