Thank you RebornsToast, xPeaceful Blissx for reviewing!
Disclaimer: I don't own KHR but I do own Yukiko
This guy really doesn't know when to give up. We been at this for an hour at the most and he still is determined to 'bite me to death'. I'm not going to let this guys anywhere near my neck.
"Woa you're good. But can you fight?" He questioned smirking at me. I glared at him breathing a little hard.
"I'm sorry that I was late, but what you're doing is making me more late!" I exclaimed angry. First I'm late, then this guys attacks me, and I can't even attack back! What else is fate going to throw at me?
"You need to be punished." His eyes narrowed at me and he held up his tonfas. I rolled my eyes.
"Look I'm sorry Vampire-san for being late, but it's not my fault!" I cried out in defense. It really wasn't my fault.
"Don't ever call me that." He growled out giving a dark glare. I shrunk back from the intense gaze. It basically screamed murder.
"I'm..sorry?" It came out more as question than anything. He ran at me and swung the tonfa fast. I bent back and heard it make a sharp swoosh sound. My eyes widen as the other tonfa neared my face.
I dropped down and swung my good leg under him. Lucky for him he jumped up in time, but unlucky for me. He swung down hard, but I was too slow and the tip of the tonfa skimmed my right arm.
I smirked lightly. It was a good thing my right arm was numb. Yet my right arm was beginning to hurt a little. That's it probably wearing off, but it came at a good time.
I grasped my right arm and looked down making my bangs shadow my eyes. A small chuckle escaped from my mouth. If the numbness is wearing off then that means I can fight.
Vampire guy stopped and stared at me unamused. I glanced at him through my bangs and smirked. He frowned at me and got his tonfas ready for another attack.
He ran at me in full speed. I let go of my right arm and clasped my hands together. He was getting closer. I blew into my hands and began to spread them. Something black began to appear the farther my hands went. But, I was still having a little trouble with my arm.
Vampire guy stopped and stared at me emotionlessly. But deep down I knew he was awe, I mean who wouldn't be awed my magic trick? Okay maybe he wasn't just surprised but hey, I can dream.
Once my arms were spread opened and I let go of the right side and spun my baton.
"Now we can fight evenly." I mused smirking at him. He smirked right back and charged at me again.
I swung the baton at him. He blocked it with his tonfa and I used this to switch the baton from left hand to my right hand. My left went straight to the ground and I used it for support as I kicked him with my right leg. He used his other tonfa to block the attack. I pushed myself away from him and while I was in the air, I struck the baton into the ground to help me land.
"Ma, I thought you were going to bite me to death." I taunted. Yeah I was screwed when my body was numb, but since it's back to normal I can be cocky.
He glared at me and charged again. I bent a little back making the tip of his tonfa nick my nose.
Pain seared through my side when he hit me with his other one. I jumped back and held my stomach.
It fucking hurt like hell! Pardon my french, but try getting hit by this crazy person!
I closed my eyes tight and began to concentrate a little. My eyes opened slowly and I held out my right arm. My hat, erm I mean Lady Kaichou's, appeared in my hand. I put it on and lightly tipped it down making it shadow my face.
"Didn't think I was going have to use this to fight in such a short time." I mused lightly. I snapped my fingers and a deck of cards appeared. I shuffled the deck like a pro and once I was finished blew onto it. I threw up the cards making them scatter everywhere.
In the next second I appeared behind him and held one card next to his neck. His breathing held no sign of surprise. He swung back not missing a beat. I disappeared and reappeared a few meters away from him.
He turned around and glared at me. I glanced down and saw I was standing on the Ace of Spades. The card of death. He caught my eye and looked down as well.
He charged at me again and like last time I disappeared and reappeared away from him. This time I was on the six of clovers.
He repeated his movement and I did the same landing on different cards.
Vampire-san stopped and smirked lightly.
"So that's you're trick. How petty." He stated his gray eyes piercing mine. I gave a small smirk and began to chuckle.
"Oh is that so."
"Making a show about the cards to make it seem likes it's important, to fool your opponent. Then start jumping around your way around quickly so as to not let your opponent see you and only land on the cards, making it seem like they are making you disappear. By distracting your opponent with this you take the time to attack them. It's a very petty trick."
I chuckled lightly hiding my surprise. He had gotten it, but I wasn't going to let him know that.
"Then do tell me about this trick." I taunted snapping my fingers making the cards disappear. However, three clones of me began to replaced them. He showed no sign of recognition.
I threw up my hat high into the air and as it descended down it became bigger. Three more appeared and each landed on me and the clones.
"Which one is the real one?" I questioned loudly for him to hear. The hats began to shuffle and I held onto one of the stitches so as to not fall. The hats started to gain speed and then just stopped.
Light flooded in as the hat began to turn back to normal. I smirked lightly and placed it on my head. My clones copied my movement.
"Make your choice." One to my right stated. The one that was at the far end corner chuckled lightly.
'It might just be your last." The one on my left stated.
Vampire-san made no move and stared at us with the same gaze. His eyes turned to me and he smirked. Casually he walked towards me. I made no sign to prove him right.
He stopped when he was just a few meters away. His gray eyes captured my own into a intense gaze. I gave him a small smirk looking down lightly.
He ran closing the small gap and jabbed his tonfa into my stomach. Much to his surprise confetti and balloons appeared.
I appeared behind him holding up the Ace of Clubs. My thumb rubbed the card as neither of us made a move.
"Right." I whispered lightly. To avoid being hit I switched places with one of my clones.
To put it simply, I was surprised. No one could ever figure out my tricks. This was the first time it happened and to be honest it scared me a bit and yet it was a little relieving.
The wind blew causing the card, which I held loosely in my hand, to fly away. I stared after it before smiling a little. Now I have something else to look forward to. If he could see through my tricks then I just have to get better.
"Ja Ne." I mused lightly snapping my fingers.
I opened the doors to the studio and dropped my bag on the floor before walking to the office. I knocked on it and heard a faint come in.
I sighed and opened the doors before closing it gently.
Papers where all over the floor and the trash can was filled with crumpled pieces. There were some trophies in the far end of the corner and in the middle the chair's back was turned to me with the desk in front. It too had papers all over it. The chair turned around and Aya was in the same clothes she was in yesterday with her hair messy and bags under eyes.
"What are you doing here Yukiko?" She asked yawning. I sweat dropped and cleaned one of the guest chairs before sitting down.
"I skipped school." I stated bluntly organizing some of the papers on her desk.
"You did what?" She screeched hit the desk with both hands. One of the pictures fell from the impact, but luckily I caught it.
"Some guy was at the gate saying I had to be punished because I was late. Then he said he was going to bite me to death." I put a stack of papers on one side and another next to it. I glanced up and saw that Aya's face was pale.
"B-Bite you to death?" She echoed lightly and began to sweat.
"Yeah and I laughed because it was funny and called him Vampire-san." I mused lightly. The next thing I knew, Aya had her hands on my shirt and her face was close to my mine.
"Please tell me his name wasn't Hibari Kyoya." She pleaded lightly. My eyes widen in realization. He was the guy that everyone was scared of! No wonder the whole biting thing sounded familiar.
"Ah so he's that Hibari Kyoya." I stated to myself pulling her hands off my shirt. Aya fell onto the desk and began to sob.
"I already found a dancer and now she is going to die." She wailed. I stared at her like she was an idiot.
"Aya-sensei.." I stated lightly slowly backing away. She was acting a little out of character and it was scaring me.
"Maybe you should get some sleep." No sooner did I say that did she stop sobbing. Slowly I walked back to her and nudged her lightly. She groaned but made no move.
I bent down and pushed her hair out of her face. Her eyes were closed and her breathing was normal. I sighed and ran my hands through my hair.
My eyes peered over to the computer was. I looked back at her and then back to the computer before getting closer to it.
"Cursiosity killed the cat." I mumbled lightly wanting to look at what she spent the whole night up doing. I shook my head and turned off the computer before I could change my mind and grabbed Aya. Gently I put her on my shoulder before exiting out of the office.
The good thing was that the studio had an upstairs room, where she stayed.
I carried her up to the room and tried the doorknob. Thankfully it was unlocked and I opened the door.
The room itself was a little plain. There was a twin bed off into the right corner and across from it was a dresser. Next to the door was a desk that had pictures on it.
Carefully I placed her on the bed and began to walk out except something on her desk caught my eye. Gently I picked it up and stared at the picture.
There was a young man with black hair and bright brown eyes. He had his arm on Aya's shoulder whose hair was down and in her arms was a small girl. The little girl had bright blue eyes and black hair. All three were smiling in the picture.
A tape was by the picture. I picked it up before looking back at Aya who was sleeping soundly. I walked out of the room and went back to her office. Once I was there I turned on the TV and placed the tape in the VCR.
"Okay it's going." A deep voice stated. A room showed and the girl in the picture jumped into view. She was wearing a light lilac dress and had one white bow on for her ponytail.
"Heibon dakara koso kokchiyo sa ga sonzai suru
Arikitari no naka no hontou shiawase ga aru
Donna seikatsu demo nichijou ni oitsumerarete
Onaji nichijou kara matta kiseki ga okoru hazu
Katachi kaete ai wa iki nokeru ka nante
Muda na toi wa ii kagen yame ni shite
Kimi no soba de kimi to sugosu
Kyou wa nante subarashiinda
Kimi to naite kimi to warau
Kyou wo shukufuku shitainda
Today" She sang in a little high pitch voice. A smile was on her face the whole time. Suddenly Aya appeared behind and picked up the little girl. The little girl giggled lightly.
"Kono aida guuzen mikashi no tomodachi ni deatte
Tagai no henbou ni tomadoi nagara waratta
Wakaregi ni "Mata ne"
To te wo furu futari wa
"Mata"ga nido to ko nai
Koto wo shitte iru
Toki wa nagtare hana wa chitte
Subete no mono was kawaru kara
Kimi to ayumi kimi to ikiru
Kyou wo shukufuku shitainda
Today" Aya sang in a sweet soprano voice. My eyes widen lightly as the camera was put down and the guy in the picture went into the camera's view giving Aya a sweet kiss. The girl made a disgusted face. They both laughed together.
"Saigo no hi ni subete "Kyou"
Wo nabete mita toki
Sono uchi ikutsu hontou ni ikutsu
"Ima" wo ikirareta no ka
Kimi no soba de kimi to sugosu
Kyou wa nante subarashiinda
Kimi to naite kimi to warau
Kyou wo shukufuku shitainda
Toki wa nagare hana wa chitte
Subete no mono wa kawart kara
Kimi to ayum kimi to ikiru
Kyou wo shukufuku shitainda
Today" The both sang together. His baritone voice matched her own soprano and made a perfect harmony. Their eyes never left each other as they sang. The little girl frowned and pushed herself in between them.
"I'm living this day like it's no other day" She sang in English with a heavy accent.
"Kimi no soba de kimi to sugosu
Kimi to naite kimi to warau
Kimi to ayumi to ikiru
Kyou wo shukufuku shitainda
Today." She sang the last piece of the song grinning up at the two. Aya smiled at her and rubbed her cheek.
The video ended right there. I stared at it in some shock. Aya never mentioned having a family. Maybe it was something personal.
I let the tape rewind as the curiosity from earlier began to grow. My eyes kept glancing to the computer.
Once the tape was down I grabbed it along with the picture and hurried out of the office and back into Aya's room. Cautiously I peeked in and let out a relieved sigh that she was still asleep. I placed the picture and tape back where I found it and left the studio.
"Relax kid, I'm not going to kill you." The old hag mused wrapping the cloth around my eyes. I sighed and mumbled something about how I was going to kill her.
See school has yet to be let out and you would think the old bat would be gone doing her job, so I thought 'hey why not go home', only to fall into that damn hole again with the old bat grinning at me with a drink in her hand like always.
Something pieced in my arm and cold fluid was injected in my blood stream. My head began to hurt a little.
"W-What did..you do?" I mumbled feeling like my body was going in circles.
"I like to eat dangos on rainy days!" I giggled hysterically.
"Did you know that I am afraid of clowns and dolls? Oh and I used to wet my bed until I was five!" I kept giggling and started to resist the restraints on my arms
"Last time I'm injecting you with this." Momoko stated patting my shoulder.
I felt something being placed onto my head. The dizziness finally went away. I stopped giggling and leaned back into the chair. It was nothing but black now.
A scenery began to appear. There was a small meadow with butterflies everywhere and flowers. The sun was bright making the scenery even more pretty.
"Mommy I got the prettiest flower for you!" A young girl with black hair exclaimed holding a white lily
"Oh is that so sweetie?" A young lady appeared and bent down to the girl. The girl turned around facing me.
It was me when I was younger. Then that must mean the woman is..
"Miyako! It's so good to see you again!" Another young woman exclaimed in Italian. She had bright short blue hair and vivid green eyes. Two younger kids followed after her shyly.
"Oh Reina I'm so glad you could come." Miyako stated in Italian. Reina grinned and told her anytime. She looked back at the other two kids.
One was a girl wearing a bright blue dress that matched her eyes and the other was a boy who wore beige shorts with a white shirt.
"Miyako, these are my kids Akane and Hiro." Reina smiled and pushed them forward. Miyako bent down and smiled at them.
"Nice to meet you! I'm Miyako, one of your mom's old friend and this my daughter Yukiko." She pushed me forward to them. I grinned at them and held out my hand. Shyly Akane took it and Hiro frowned and stuck out his tongue.
"I'm not touching you! Girls have cooties, except for Akane." He cried childishly. My smile left and the two adults laughed a little.
"It's okay I gave her a shot to cure her from the cooties." Miyako said ruffling my hair. Hiro then grinned and grabbed my hand shaking it excitedly.
"Good to know that I can play with someone else than crybaby over here." He nodded his head towards her making her shout in protest.
"Honey why don't you go play with them? I need to talk to Reina okay." She pushed all three of us out of the way. I looked back at her a little bit unsure. I didn't know much Italian.
The memory faded away with my mom and Reina talking. Another memory began to show.
It was dark and the only light came from a candle. It was a cold night and the only person in view was me. I was sobbing and staring out into the vacant space. Reina appeared and hugged me closer to her.
"Shh don't cry." She whispered to me running her hands through my black hair. I turned and sobbed into her chest.
My cries echoed out into place and overpowered any other noise that was made.
"S-She promised!" I cried out clutching onto Reina's shirt. "T-That she'll come back! But she hasn't! Why?"
Reina hugged me tighter and a small tear fell. She buried her head into my hair.
I took some steps closer. Tears pricked my eyes but I refused to cry. When I was close enough I sat down on the porch with them. By now the sobs had quieted down.
"She'll come don't worry and until she comes I'll take care of you." Reina mumbled into my hair. My body shook as I started to sob again.
"Don't forget your mother loves you very much. She'll come back for you." I whispered in sync with Reina.
I looked back up sniffling and wiped away my tears. Reina smiled and helped me stand up.
"Welcome to the family." She whispered rubbing my cheek. I nodded sadly and let her lead me back into the house.
I stared after them and closed my eyes. Small whimpers began to fill my ears making my eyes snap open. I was sitting on one of the couches and in the center Reina was tied to a chair. Her whole body was bloody and her hair made a curtain around her face.
A few men appeared wearing suits and another came in. He was slim and tall with dark red hair that was spiked. His eyes were onyx and held no emotion. One of the men gave him a glove to which he put on. He picked up Reina's head and examined her.
"No don't touch her you bastard!" I screamed running at him. But my body went through him. My eyes widen. I turned back at him and my eyes widen even more.
"H-He couldn't be..." I whispered horrified.
"Tell me where is she?" He growled out. Reina chuckled and spit in his face.
"Over my dead body."
The man slapped her hard. He turned back to the men and mumbled something to them.
"Let me rephrase this then. Either you tell me or this kid dies."
One of the men came back and held Hiro by his arms. Hiro was kicking and screaming but his efforts were useless.
"Don't touch him!" Reina hissed trying to get up but the restraints held her back.
"Tell us!" The man growled getting in front of her to block her sight of Hiro.
My body began to shake. My eyes traveled to the cabinets that was right in front of where Reina was. The cabinets where Akane and I hid.
"Let him go and I'll tell you." She whispered hanging her head in defeat. He smirked and turned back to the man the held Hiro. The man let go of Hiro, but no before knocking him out and just throwing him onto the couch like he was nothing but trash.
Reina began to scream and yell in a different language and tried to get up again.
"Tell us."
"She left abroad with her. They're not coming back." She whispered angrily glaring at him. The man smirked and left, but not before telling his men something.
The man that held Hiro stepped up and took out his gun. He shot Reina twice. Her chair fell and landed to where she was facing right into the small space where you could see Akane and I.
I fell to the floor staring at her with emotionless eyes. After this happened, in my dreams I would re-watch this memory like it was broken record, that I began to think myself it was just a nightmare. But know even I can't think that. I can't think that this was nothing but a nightmare.
All the men disappeared. Akane slowly exited out of the cabinet and ran straight to Reina.
"Reina wake up. Please wake up!" She cried shaking her. I stared not making a sound.
She let go of Reina and ran to Hiro. She started to shake him as well. Luckily he woke up.
Smoked began to fill the house. Akane started cry uncontrollably as Hiro stared at Reina. He said something to Akane making her stop crying.
Akane began to pull on my arm, but I stayed rooted to my spot. Hiro turned to me and slapped me hard.
"Hiro.." Akane whispered staring at him in surprised. Tears started to fall from my face.
Akane began to pull me again and this time I followed. Hiro grabbed something from Reina's neck and then followed us.
Light blinded me as the cloth was ripped off. Momoko was in front of me breathing hard. She took off the restraints and hugged me. I made no move and stared in front of me.
"I'm sorry kid." She whispered softly.
Momoko let go of me and stared at me. I stared back.
"I didn't think that those memories would show. I'm so sorry." She hugged me again. Slowly my arms wrapped around her.
We stayed like that for the longest time until she pulled away.
"I'm sorry you went through that for two days." She whispered.
That seemed to snap me out of my state.
I was like that for two days?
"H-How?" My voice croaked out. My throat hurt a little.
"It takes a day for the serum to finally settle down in your body. At first you only experience nausea and then finally it will knock you out. It takes another day for the rest of it to take effect." She explained picking me up. I leaned against her and let her lead me out of the room.
"I-It's okay." I whispered looking down.
"You made me notice something. I know who the man is. The one who killed her." I whispered giving a bitter chuckle.
Momoko sat me down on the couch.
"We killed him a two years ago." I continued staring at my hands that were shaking.
"But they told me that he wasn't the one. That he was still out there. So we kept killing." My head fell down and my hands covered my face.
"I killed innocent people for that! I killed children because I would think they were his or that he knew them in one way. But now it's all meaningless to me. I can't erase what I have done." My body began to shake uncontrollably as all the things I knew turned out to be lies.
"I'm going to get rid of them. I know their weakness." I stood up but Momoko pulled me back.
"They'll kill you the minute you see them. Let the Vendice take care of them." I looked down clenching my hands. There was only one thing I could do.
"I'll join."
"What?"
"I'll join the family."
Here's my other attempt =/
Though I hoped you guys enjoyed it. =)
It also came to mind that I didn't put what patto di silenzio meant. It means silence pact, but I also noticed that I wrote it wrong. It should have been turned around. Forgive me *bows head*
Thought I would reveal something about Aya for the moment XD and what had happened with Yukiko when she was younger
I couldn't think of another way for Yukiko to join and then this came to mind! Though it looks like she is doing it out of anger. Maybe something'll come up and change her mind ;)
