Dark Side of the Moon (1)
Kat's POV
I started for home after going grocery shopping and noticed how late it had gotten, I looked up to see the eerie moon smiling; slowly blood began to ooze from its white teeth. I narrowed my eyes. Someone is going to die tonight . . . I knew that by the blood. The more blood the moon released from its mouth, the more people died that night. I quickened my pace. I turned one corner and saw a crowd of people, women and young girls, surrounding a platform and I gasped when I remembered the last time I had been here. This was where I ran into those magicians! A feminine voice spoke out and I hid behind the corner to watch in the shadows, I stood on a box to get a better view, "A lovely rose for the lovely lady." Neko said as she bowed, one arm crossed behind her back while the other held a red rose to a young lady, who was amongst the hypnotized mob. She smiled and was about to take the offering when it immediately turned into a knife, Neko raised it and plunged it into the girl's chest, the victim's eyes widened and she snapped out of her hypnotism to release her dying, blood curdling scream. The female magician sliced her body diagonally causing her corpse to vanish and to only leave her innocent soul floating in the air. I watched in horror and started to feel sick.
However, the other girls didn't react at all; Neko took the soul in her gloved hand and swallowed it then licked her lips, "How divine." Then both she and Kono removed their hands and bowed like hosts (2)
"Thank you for your time, ladies." The two demons said together then they threw their hats out to the crowd who reached for them like fan girls. Then blades appeared on the hats' rim and they sliced at the crowd before ricocheting into Kono and Neko's white gloved hands. They bowed and I watched as the bodies dispersed leaving nothing behind, then my eyes widened in horror when I saw what lay contained in the hats: the souls of those girls. I gasped and watched as the two black-haired demons placed them back on their heads. I was freaking out and stumbled back, forgetting where I was, and fell to the street with a grunt.
The two heard me and I heard their black-booted feet approaching me, thinking quickly I hid behind the crate I stood on. The two looked around, their red eyes scanning the area, "Did you hear that, Kono?"
"Yes, indeed," I heard his lips curl back into a smile, "Some little rat's been a peeping on our act." Neko crossed her arms and smiled,
"And without applauding us, how rude of them." I held my breath and waited a few minutes and they finally gave up looking for me, "I guess we won't be getting her soul." Neko said staring sadly at the gravel,
"Neko . . ." Kono said,
"Yes-" She replied only to be boxed in against the wall by Kono who stared into her red eyes with his own, their faces only a few inches apart. I gulped and stealthy crawled around the corner of the crate so they wouldn't see me.
"I promise you, I will make you the next kishin." She gazed up into his eyes,
"But why me? Madame Medusa wants us both to become the next kishins." Then Kono pressed his mouth against hers fiercely to silence her and I gaped, Neko kissed back fiercely as well then pulled back and stared into his eyes, "Yes . . . brother." I gaped even more and an alarm sounded in my head. Incest! Incest! Incest! I turned myself invisible with my powers and summoned my black wings before taking off into the air; the two lovers stared at me without knowing where I was. I shuddered as I tried to rid that image from my mind as I flew home.
. . .
I slammed the front door shut and leaned my back on it as I closed my eyes to catch my breath. Toshio and Tomi blinked and looked at me, "Kat?"
"What's wrong?" I looked at them, still panting,
"Huh?" Then I groaned as I shook my head vigorously.
. . .
"Whoa, whoa, whoa." Liz said as we all sat in the living room, "So those two magicians are siblings . . . and they were kissing?" I nodded my head, my eyes clenched shut,
"Yes! Would you please just get it through your thick head! Remembering it has scarred me for life but having to retell it over and over again isn't helping in the least!" The two sets of twins shuddered and Kid walked in,
"What did I just walk into-" I made an 'X' with my arms,
"No!" I interrupted, "Have someone else tell you when I'm not here! I am not repeating myself for another time." Kid raised an eyebrow at his weapons and they gave him a look as if saying they would tell him. I shuddered, "I am going to my room and going to try to get that image out of my head now, goodnight." I trudged up the red carpeted staircase.
I walked into my room and plopped back onto my soft bed, the image of those two intruded my mind and I covered my face with my hands. As I lay there, time slipped away. I removed my hands to be blinded by sunlight, "Ah!" I said as I squinted my eyes, then I sat up and rubbed them, I looked at my alarm clock and jumped, "Crap! Not again!" I threw on new clothes and ran down the hall, down the stairs and into the kitchen, colliding with my brother in the process. "S-sorry, onii-chan." I opened my eyes and gasped when I saw him holding a box,
"Oh, sorry about that, Kat." I stood up and brushed myself off,
"What's this?" He cocked his head in confusion,
"Don't you remember? Chichue gave the DWMA students the day off to get ready for Christmas." I was silent for a second then smiled,
"Pfft, I knew that!" He smiled,
"Mhm."
"How many days until Christmas are there again?"
"A few days." My smile fell,
"Say what." I said flatly, Liz and Patty came around the corner and laughed,
"Yeah, you didn't know?"
"Well apparently not!"
"Oh come on-", said Tomi as he wrapped his arm around me, "You can't possibly-"
"-have forgotten that easily." Toshio concluded as he leaned on my shoulder and I glared at them before squirming out of their grasp,
"Shut up, I'm going to shopping. Bye~!" Without another word I ran out of the house.
. . .
I smiled down at my bags in success. "Ok, so for Maka I got her that great book I just finished; Soul a new leather jacket; Tsubaki a flower comb; Black*Star a bouncy castle house; Liz and Patty make up cases; Kid a new skateboard with his name carved into it, and Toshio and Tomi," I took out the gift and beamed, "A picture of the three of us." I put it away and giggled before heading off again and slowly it dawned on me that it was night. Damn it, time went to fast. I looked at the moon and saw the blood oozing from its mouth, I cringed and quickened my pace, carefully avoiding the street with Kono and Neko I went down a different street,
"Why hello my dear." Said one voice and I froze,
"And where do you think you're going?" I turned to see Kono and Neko, one leaning on the other's shoulder and both grinning in their creepy way,
"I-I was just going home from Christmas shopping."
"Aw, and you didn't get us anything?" Kono said leaning forward,
"Now that's just wrong." His partner concluded, the image from yesterday returned and I turned around and clenched my eyes shut. Then they stood next to me, leaning down to whisper in my ears,
"Aw, what's wrong? Are you feeling ill?"
"I bet one of our performances will cure you."
"No." I said shakily as I trembled a little,
"I think that's a wondrous idea." Darkness said from within me, I opened my eyes, determination blazing in them,
"No." I said firmly and I looked down at the bags I held, the turned black before vanishing. Good, now that they're safely transported to the safety of home . . . I pulled my hair into a ponytail; time to deal with these jerks. I ran forward, my sneakers pounding on the floor, my hair trailing behind me, and my arms straight behind me as I ran. I made a sharp turn into a dark alley, my pursuers on my tail; then I watched them run past me as I stood between the buildings, my arms and feet supporting my body in the air. I closed my eyes and focused. "Toshio, Tomi." I thought to them.
Normal POV
Toshio and Tomi stopped decorating the Christmas tree when their meister's voice entered their minds, "Toshio, Tomi."
"Kat?" They wondered aloud,
"Hm? You guys say somethin'?" Liz asked as she picked up an empty box,
"I need you guys now, those magicians are after me and I need your help to take them out; they're too powerful for my powers alone." The twins smirked like Soul,
"You got it." They thought back.
"We're going to find Kat." They said to Liz,
"Okay, is she okay?"
"Yeah she's fine, be back soon." With that they ran out to meet their meister.
Kat's POV
I smiled when I received my weapon's telepathic message, but by now my limbs were wobbly from supporting myself for so long. I clenched my eyes shut. Come on guys, hurry up. Just then I looked up when I heard the familiar sound of weapons transforming and saw two shining sais flipping from the sky and down to me, I smiled and dropped down, once I landed my weapons fell into my grasp. I stood and smiled at my partners' reflections, "Thanks guys; took ya long enough." I concluded with a wink then they smiled,
"Now let's go kick some ass!" Toshio cheered,
"Yes, let's." Tomi agreed calmly.
The two demon magicians continued walking until I called their attention with a whistle; I waved to them "I'm over here you guys." They narrowed their eyes before chasing me. I looked at the brick wall I was zeroing on, ran up a few steps before kicking off and back flipping, my skirt rippling and black hair flowing in the air, I landed behind the two and charged forward, digging the backs of the sais into their stomachs causing the wind to be knocked out of them, they wheezed before grabbing my wrists and flinging me to the brick wall, I turned so my feet met first then pushed off and sliced across their bodies with my weapons. I landed a yard away, one knee bent, arms stretched to the sides and my head bowed. Then I stood to look at my opponents with glaring golden eyes, their bodies dispersed leaving behind nothing. "What?" I whispered in surprise, "Surely their souls should have been left behind."
"Do you think they're still alive?" Tomi asked,
"Beats me." His brother replied as they transformed ad stood behind me, their hands stuffed in their pockets. Then a laugh travelled to our ears through the wind,
"Very good observation, young weapon." Said a certain witch's voice,
"You're right," Said another Neko, "we are not dead."
"In fact," said Kono's voice, "we are as alive as ever." We all narrowed our eyes as we stared at the alleyway, our backs facing each other's as we stood in a defensive triangle. Chuckles faded away and I shuddered,
"Okay, let's get out of here, onii-chan's probably wondering where we are." The boys nodded,
"Sounds good." We all headed back for Gallows Manor and on the way I noticed the boys reach for my hands, and then they gently held them,
"What's wrong?" I asked and they looked down into my round golden eyes, and they smiled,
"Nothing." I blinked then smiled, then a though popped into my head and my countenance became shadowed as my eyes gleamed and a fang appeared in my smile, I summoned my black wings and rocketed into the night sky, my partners screaming in fear while I laughed my butt off.
"Why do you torture us!" Toshio screamed,
"Because I'm your meister and I can!" I yelled back in delight.
At last we landed in front of our home, I dismissed my wings and immediately after Tomi picked me up horizontally under his arm, "That does it you shrimp." He began to charge for the door and I cried as I held my head,
"Hey! Hey! My head! My head!" Toshio opened the door and we entered the foyer, I struggled in my prison hold then flew forward in my attempt and rolled to my feet then stood and faced my partners; we stared at each other then I smiled,
"Thanks, guys. I love you." They flinched and I skipped up the stairs,
"I'll be wrapping my gifts now~! Goodnight, everyone~!" I walked to my balcony and rested my arms on the thick, cold, white stone ledge as I observed the starry night sky, snow began to fall and I extended a pale arm to catch some of the delicate flakes in my hand. Then my smile faded when I saw the moon. I saw half was hidden by a dark side. That reminds me a lot of myself; bright yet with a dark side. I bowed my head as I recalled that Darkness was still a part of me.
Normal POV
Medusa looked into her crystal ball which displayed Kat as she stared into the winter night sky. "Good work, you two." The witch commented the two raven-haired siblings who knelt behind her, their heads bowed and eyes closed,
"Thank you, Madame Medusa." Neko replied,
"Our journey has been quite prosperous." Kono added as he and Neko caught each other's eye and smiled,
"Indeed, it has." Medusa grinned, "And it has only just begun."
