Another chapter! Enjoy!
The Curse
"It's going to happen." Kamiko mumbled as the three exorcists traveled through the sea to Japan.
"What is?" Allen asked gently, wrapping a reassuring arm around her shoulders.
"The curse. Komui didn't tell you guys, but the possibility of us coming back isn't large. First of all, it's Japan. Second of all, the Earl is expecting us. The reason we are being sent is to clear out as many akuma as we can. The finders already have the Innocence, we just have to fend off the akuma so they don't follow them and come to headquarters. It's a suicide mission. If I am to die, that means that I'm going to kill someone before that happens." She said and slid out from Allen's arm.
Kanda roughly patted Kamiko on the head as he came to stand next to her.
"If we're gonna die on this mission, I'd rather get killed by you than an akuma." He said as he stared out in the waves.
Kamiko nodded softly and walked away from the two to the cabin below the deck.
"Well now we'll get the answer as to which of us she loves." Kanda said flatly.
"How?" Allen asked, turning to face his rival.
"Whichever one she kills." Kanda replied as he pushed himself back from the edge and walked to the front of the ship.
When they arrived in Japan, the three exorcists were busy right off the bat. Hundreds of level 1 akuma filled the beaches to greet them.
"Don't let them become anything more than a level one! Kanda, don't get shot. Allen and I will be fine, but do your best to dodge." Kamiko said as she jumped off the boat with two guns in her hands and fired at the akuma.
Kanda nodded and joined her on the beach, Mugen in hand. Allen followed after and activated his crown clown. They fought until all of the level ones were gone before collapsing on the beach.
"Shit!" Kamiko said, looking down at her arms that were covered in stars. "I got shot more than I thought."
She shook slightly before collapsing over. Allen was quick to hold her up and Kanda swiftly brought his palm to his mouth. When he brought his hand back down, Kanda pressed it to Kamiko's lips in hopes that his second's blood would help heal her.
"I'm fine now. I've never fought that much before." Kamiko said shakily as she sat back up.
"It won't be long before more come." Said Allen, scanning the area around them.
"Look, over there, there's a person and an akuma." Kanda said, pointing off to the west.
As the person and the akuma approached, the three exorcists readied themselves. When the two figures stopped, not a breath escaped.
"Who are you?" Kanda yelled at the person.
"Ask Kamiko, she knows." The figure replied smugly.
"Kanda, the akuma is my mother." Kamiko said shakily.
"Then who's the person?" asked Allen.
"Nathaniel?" Kamiko asked the figure.
"Yes, yes sister! I'm glad you remember me! I came here to convince you to join me! The Earl is a great man, I am living a great life working for him." Nathaniel exclaimed with his arms open.
"You turned Mum into an akuma?" she asked, her voice shaking.
"Yes, I was dull then, but now I can always be with her! She died shortly after you left, then I joined the Earl! Come with me sister, you will never live fighting for the exorcists.
"Yes, brother, I will join you!" Kamiko exclaimed as Allen and Kanda gave her strange looks.
Kamiko ran forward as fast as she could and came face to face with her brother's insane smile. She let tears drop from her eyes as she watched the blood drip from between his perfect teeth.
"I'm sorry Nathaniel." She sobbed, letting go of the dagger that she had just ran through his heart. She turned to the akuma that used to be her mother and shot it with tears streaming down her face.
Allen and Kanda walked to her quickly and sat with her in the sand.
"You did the right thing." Allen said quietly as he patted her back.
"But it won't bring him back." She cried. "Nothing can bring him back."
Again, thank you all my supporters and I am reluctant to say that this story is coming to an end. The next chapter will be the next, but depending on my availability after I come back from Europe I may make an epilogue or whatever. If you liked this, please check out some of my other writings. I have 2 other DGM fanfics and one Skip Beat! fanfic and one My Candy Love fanfic. Thanks for sticking with me.
