The Plan Set to Action
Kat's POV
Marcus led me outside to the garden which basked in the light of the full moon, the stars twinkled in the black sky. Once we stepped out of the ballroom a breeze blew and I shivered, "I'll be right back, I'm going to go change." Marcus smiled,
"Ok, I'll wait here." I ran back to the house, up the stairs, and into my room. I took off the Christmas costume and smiled as I placed it on my dresser. This costume will be preserved forever as it contains so many memories of this Christmas. Quickly, I changed into black pants, a black blazer with a white shirt underneath and slipped on black shoes. Then I scurried to my balcony and looked down to see my room was right above where my former dance partner waited for me. I smiled then placed one foot on the concrete railing and leapt off, my black wings bursting from my scapula. Marcus looked up and his eyes widened a little as I descended. When my feet touched the cement path my wings disappeared, Marcus smiled,
"So you really are a Shinigami." I nodded then bowed my head but looked up at him with my golden eyes,
"Yep, sorry I never told you. . . Things were . . . complicated."
"Don't worry about it, whatever the conflict was I hope it's all resolved now." I smiled,
"Yep, things are just super~!" He laughed,
"Good, I'm glad." He looked straight at me and his dark eyes had a gleam of mischief to them, "Now," Suddenly he grabbed my wrist and hauled me to him, my eyes widened in surprise while his countenance remained serous. Our faced were only a few inches apart. "Dance with me."
"Heh?"
"I haven't danced with you in years, please?" I blinked then smiled,
"Yeah." He took my hand and stood next to me, we both faced an invisible audience then he looked at me,
"You remember the last dance we did together right?"
"Yeah, oh, but I was wearing a dress for that. It won't be the same since I'm wearing pants." He laughed,
"Just fake it." I nodded then we closed our eyes and stood in silence as we faced the imaginary audience. My hand in his while the other held up the edge of an unseen dress, while his other hand was held behind his back. When we danced we were considered 'The Couple of Darkness' since we always wore black clothes in our numbers. For example, in this dance we did I wore a long gothic loilita dress with a small black hat, with lace around it, clipped to my hair and long black gloves that reached my elbows; Marcus wore a black button down shirt, pants, and shoes. I was about to start when I heard music playing. I looked around and noticed Marcus winking at me; I smiled knowing he was playing the song we danced to on his iPod. He twirled me into him and we began to waltz. I smiled at him and he smiled at me. I miss this . . . dancing with him like this. I had so much fun dancing, I always loved to dance and sing but dancing with Marcus made it extra fun. We continued to dance under the full moon light in the garden behind Gallows Manor.
Kid's POV
I smiled as I stood on my concrete balcony and watched my sister dance with her former partner under the full moon. She really is an amazing dancer. Then something caught my attention, I turned to see Toshio walk into my room. "Oh, Toshio, what's wrong?" His lime green eyes were distant as was his entire entity. It was like his mind had left him to be a lost entity. He raised his head,
"Oh, sorry, Kid. I thought this was my room." He bowed, "Sorry, to bother you." He turned to leave,
"Wait." He stopped and cast me an oblique, "Take a look at this." After a moment's hesitation, he approached me and looked down when I gestured to the two in the garden. Then I noticed hurt seep into his eyes, "What's the matter, Toshio?" He bowed his head,
"It's nothing," he turned and headed for the door, his hands in his pockets, "I'm going to bed, goodnight, sorry to have bothered you." Without another word he closed the door behind him. I then noticed why he had that look on his face. I assure you, Toshio, Kat has no interest in Marcus. Don't give up.
Kat's POV
At last we ended the dance and stepped back. I beamed at him, "Been a while since we did that, huh?"
"Yeah, I miss that." I giggled,
"Me too~." Then he grabbed my wrist and hauled me to him before kissing my cheek. I blushed,
"Wh . . . what was that about?!" He laughed heartily,
"That never gets old!" I puffed out my cheeks in annoyance; he winked at me, tears from laughter in his eyes, "Teasing you is just so much fun!" I growled,
"You idiot!" I cried. He hugged me close,
"C'mon you know I'm just messing with you, there's no way I like you in that way. You're like my little sister." I smiled and tazed him. He flinched and I stuck my tongue out as I smiled with a wink and giggled.
"And that never gets old." He laughed mockingly then another laugh made us jump with a gasp,
"My, my, my, what a touching scene." We turned around to see a shadow leaning against a tree and the figure's arms were folded,
"Too bad we-," Said a male voice,
"-have to interrupt." Concluded a feminine voice, Marcus and I looked around at the figures that surrounded us, Marcus stood in front of me and I turned my back on him so both of us could see the new arrivals. I narrowed my eyes,
"Kono, Neko." I said with heavy venom in my voice,
"Who're they?"
"The question is-," Neko said as she came right up to his face, her face shadowed,
"-who aren't we?" Her brother said as he did the same to Marcus. My friend stumbled in fear and I narrowed my eyes in determination, I grabbed his wrist and ran forward,
"Let's go!"
"Wait, where are we going?!"
"Away from them."
"Good luck with that." I skidded to a stop when Neko and Kono appeared in front of me, the two leaning their backs against trees, their eyes closed.
"You can't escape us, Kat." Kono replied, "Remember what lives inside of you." I bowed my head and narrowed my eyes,
"What lives inside of you, Kat?" Marcus asked and I was silent,
"Tell me, Kat!" I still said not a word,
"You're friend has an evil spirit inside of her." Neko said with a smile and an evil gleam in her red eyes,
"What?" Marcus asked as he took a surprised step back,
"In the end that very spirit will consume her entirely."
"What!" Marcus whirled me around and stared hard into my eyes, his hands holding me firmly by the shoulders, "Why didn't you tell me this, Kat? Damn it why didn't you! I could have helped you!" Then he gasped when he saw me crying,
"No . . . you couldn't help me, Marcus . . . that's why I never told you." He narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth.
"Aw you made your little girlfriend cry." Kono said as he leapt next to me,
"Now that's not very nice." Neko added as she rested an arm on my shoulder, I tensed up.
"Kat!" A cry made us all jump and we saw my brother racing toward us on Beelzebub, shockingly he came alone, I didn't even sense anyone's soul to be around to launch a surprise attack.
"Kid, what are you doing here!" He dismissed his skateboard and landed in front of me,
"There's no way in hell I was going to leave you here with these two bastards."
"Onii-chan~." I murmured then he whirled his head around at Marcus,
"You, get out of here! It's too dangerous for you normal people."
"But-"
"Just go!" I cried, Marcus was taken aback and I held his arm with pleading golden eyes, "I don't want you to get hurt! Just go!" He stared at me for a moment then hugged me,
"Please be careful." I hugged him back,
"I'm a Shinigami, and besides I have my onii-chan to protect me~." He smiled before running off. Kid and I watched him leave then more laughing caught our attention, "What's so funny?" I glared at the two sibling lovers,
"You two are alone now." Kono said with a smile and an evil gleam in his red eyes,
"So?" Kid glared at them through narrow golden eyes as he stood protectively in front of me,
"That means there are no witnesses." Neko concluded, Kid and I narrowed out eyes in suspicion,
"Witnesses to what?" A new laugh behind us made us gasp in fear and we whirled around to see a woman with blonde hair twisted in front of her glowering at us with an evil smile,
"Medusa!" Kid shouted,
"What do you want?" I demanded and she laughed more,
"What I don't get a 'hello'?" Kid and I snarled,
"How are you alive?" Kid commanded and we watched as the snake lady smiled as she gestured to the raven-haired siblings,
"It's all thanks to Kono and Neko, Death the Kid; they are the ones who revived me." The two closed their eyes bowed as they placed one hand over their heart."
"Anything for you, Madame Medusa." Neko said,
"You are the one we gladly serve." Kono added. Medusa snickered then quickly stretched her arms forward,
"Now go!" Then two snakes slithered down her arms and grew as they raced towards Kid and I, we tensed up to fight then Kono and Neko used their dark magic to paralyze us, then we struggled greatly as the snakes coiled around our mouths and bodies, I tried screaming for help but the massive scaly body constricting me prevented such actions, then the pressure around my body became overwhelming and I went limp as I fell unconscious.
Kid's POV
Damn this bitch! I struggled to free myself from the giant serpent, but my efforts were futile. I opened my eyes to see my beloved sister fighting with all her might and I tried shouting her name, then she went unconscious. K-Kat! I gave one more violent struggle before going unconscious myself.
Oh nos! Kid and Kat have been abducted by Medusa, Kono, and Neko! :o What's gonna happen! Stay tuned for next chapter to find out! :)
