Chapter 14 - Much Better Plans For You

One step.

Then everything seemed to go in slow motion. Kia took a quick run towards Risa, hazel eyes steady and determined.

Her twin moved.

Feet hitting the pavement, Kia slowed her run and kicked herself backwards. She could feel the rush of air across her stomach as she nearly missed a powerful kick from the other. Instantly, she knew this wasn't going to be a one-punch-then-done fight.

Risa made a quick turn, Kia blinked.

Gone. Risa had dissapeared. "Here!"

Turning to face her quickly, Kia felt all of the air suddenly rush out of her. Risa dug her boot into the stomach of her younger twin, and she went sailing.

Skidding on the ground, Kia gasped for air, her body feeling the need of oxygen. 'Move or die! Move or die!' her mind screamed at her. Opening hazel eyes, she saw the black boot of Risa's coming down, ready to crush her face.

Contorting her body, Kia moved herself out of the path of the shoe, hearing the hell slam and crack into the ground. Risa screamed, hitting the ground.

Twisting herself, the black-haired girl readied to run. Not even with five steps taken she felt someone grab a fistfull of her hair and pulled. She shrieked, feeling her body hit the ground once more. Once there, Risa grabbed her sister's arm, twisted and pulled.

Kia let out a cry of pain as she felt Risa lodged her arm out of its socket.

"One fucking down," she said, straddling Kia's hips. Using her back and legs, Kia bucked, sending the other reeling towards her. Pulling back a fist, the younger twin let her hands fly into her sister's face. Risa slid off of Kia, holding her nose and emitting a sound that reminded Kia of an injured animal.

"I'm not through with you yet, bitch!" she growled, wiping her lip. Looking down, Kia could see a streak of blood on her hand. "What?" her eyes widened.

"Surprise!" Risa laughed, sending a roundhouse kick to the side of Kia's head. She stumbled backwards and fell to the pavement. Blood seeped out of her ear, and all that came to her was a ringing noise.

"I've been through a shitton worse if you think breaking a nose and foot would actually do something," the darker twin giggled. Through her other ear, Kia could hear the sound of a metal bar being dragged across the ground. "A hell of a lot worse."

Kia felt a sickening crack in her chest as Risa brought down a crowbar onto her ribs. Once again, air rushed out of her lungs. Coughing, Kia could feel the copper fluid come to her mouth, and bright red blood gently slid past her lips. "What a pretty color," Risa said, amazed. Placing one boot on Kia's ribs, she made a quick jump and snapped the cage.

Kia had never in her life wanted to scream as loud as she could have. Tears spilled from her eyes, pain flaring her body. "Don't worry, Kia-Kia," Risa spoke sweetly, brushing a lock of hair out of Kia's face lovingly. "I'm not going to kill you yet. I have much, much better plans for you."

"Noh Marionetta."

"I'm going to off her, I really mean in this time," Ristuka growled, running towards the direction that Tansen told them.

"I don't blame her for her actions," Tsavera said, shrugging. The doll had short curled hair with light green eyes. She, too, was one of the oldest Dolls. "All for love, really."

"You should be one to talk, Tsav," a blonde haired girl mumbled. Her onyx eyes rolled to the side, not wanting the two to bicker anymore than necessary. "You've done plenty of dumb things over the concept of 'love'."

"Whatever Lanae," Tsavera snapped. "Anyways, you said Tansen and the others were going to show up not long after us, right?"

"Yes," the purple-haired girl stated. "Something must have happened at the fight, or they would only have us retrieve Kia and be done with it."

"What could have happened?" Lanae asked.

"She either died, kidnapped, or left for dead."

"Pity, pity," Lanae mumbled.

"Hold up!" Ristuka shouted, and the three froze in their tracks.

"What's wrong?" Tsavera asked, looking around. Holding up a hand, Ritsuka eyes scanned the surrounding area.

Nothing moved.

"Just," she murmured. "Something's not right."

A clatter. All three eyes moved towards the sound, waiting for a sign. Another clatter, and the sound of shuffling feet. Either a drunk, someone was injured, or a stray dog or cat. The noise came closer, shuffling feet and a plipping noise.

Kia stepped out of the shadows, blood dripping from her mouth and clutching her side. "Fucking really, Kia?" Ristuka growled, relaxing. The Doll released a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding.

"Sorry," Kia groaned, looking down. She stumbled, trying to stick her balance.

"Hello, Kia dear," Lanae said, waving. "You look like you've been through hell and back."

Kia mumbled something inaudible. "Huh?" the blonde asked. "What did you say, Kia dear?"

"...help..." she whispered, pushing herself to speak.

Ristuka stalked up to Kia, grabbing her shoulder. "That's why we're fucking here, brat," she said, her patience wearing thin. "We're here to get your ass out of trouble again. Seriously, why do you always have to run off and do stupid shit." Lanae turned away as Ritsuka continued with her lecture, Kia's hazel eyes still looking towards the ground.

Tsavera was looking around, never once relaxing her body. "We need to go."

"What is it, Tsavera," Lanae asked, placing a gentle hand on the elder's arm. "What is wrong?"

"There's another Doll here," she said. "We've got to go now."

"Understood." Lanae turned back towards the two, and was ultimately not surprised to see that Ritsuka had yet to finish her lecture. Walking towards them, she could hear the conversation continue.

"-And honestly, you are going to doing a shitload of endurance testing tomorrow. No, not after your done healing, tomorrow. Because I am sick and tired of your shit, Kia. You need to know when you can do what you want and when you have to listen to orders. You are"-BANG!

Eyes shut at the sudden noise. Lanae felt something warm spray her face, and the sound of something thudding on the ground.

"..."

Opening her eyes, she looked to see Ritsuka's pale eyes staring up, glazed over. A small hole lay between her once beautiful eyes, and she could only watch as blood seeped out from underneath her head. She felt her body shiver, seeing the slight twitching of the limbs for the after affect of death.

Ristuka was dead.

Trembling, Lanae looked up towards Kia. The black-haired girl was coated in blood, and her still usable arm was holding a small handgun, smoking.

The gentle clatter of an empty shell hitting the cement. "K-Kia?" Lanae asked.

Hazel eyes slowly moved from Ritsuka to her, and the blonde shook in her place. Barely moving her hand, she pointed the smoking gun towards the fair-haired.

The last thing she saw was down the barrel of the gun.
