Joker: Waaah, I've been such a procrastinaty poopy, RIGHT! Training self to write in Double Frees again it is! XD
Naru: Aren't you meant to save this for after? Idiotic daydreamer.
Joker: GEEENE! ({[Runs crying to said QT]})
Gene: ({[sighs]}) You haven't even used a disclaimer.
Joker: But this is a FANfiction website... ({[does kicked-puppy-face]})
Gene: Fi~ne...
Joker: OH! And this chapter has some NaruxMai, LinxJohn and maaaybe a bit of GenexYasu (THE RESULT OF NO ONE REVIEWING AND MAKING JOKER-INUSAN WORRY IF SHE'S WRITING CORRECTLY OR NOT!), but I'll deal with that when we get there... XD
XxXxX
Lin's POV:
I was being marched across the square towards Yi's house, Fu and Cheng holding tightly to either arm, my wrists tightly bound and my eyes covered, though I could tell where I was by the breeze in my wings and the smell of the many shops and food-stalls nearby.
Our course was pretty straight, so I could also tell people were terrified of me.
Damn it...
We were suddenly stopped, as I heard Yasu's agile and steady footsteps.
"[Hey! Fu, Cheng and Lin! Just the trio I want to see!]" he called - strange how having a blindfold on heightens the other senses.
"[We're taking Lin to see Yi, per her request. Return home.]" Cheng retorted (why does he sound slightly afraid of Yasu? It's just Yasuhara).
"[And you need to remember about the duties I had to show you yesterday! Didn't I even-]"
"[You're crazy, Yasuhara. Please, we're just doing as my sister asks. Why don't you-]"
"[Can I at least bring Yasu with me to see Naru?]" Gene interrupted. "[He's my twin, you can't-]"
"[Go. Home. Or do I have to ask for more Guardians to put you two under house arrest?!]" Cheng snapped.
I could sense how off things were - the negative energy was stifling!
I was pulled away again, as I felt Gene whisper in my ear indirectly somehow.
"John's in danger, Yi's got him locked up, and he's bleeding..."
xXxXxXx
Yi's POV:
I smiled as Fu pulled Lin in, Lin's wings were tied, and the blindfold was only pulled off once he was chained to the wall.
He froze at the sight of Naru and Mai standing in their respective spots, and he recognised the charm easily.
"Wait! No!" he exclaimed, "Naru! Mai!"
"Welcome." I purred, stepping carefully into my circle. "The plan here is to open a gate between our realm and Hell. While our dear Mai will be travelling through," I indicated Mai with a smile, "Our dear Oliver has had certain memories focused on in his head to do with her," I indicated Naru with a grin. "Through their connection, Oliver will pull our enti~re village into Hell, were flames and demons can wreak havoc; removing the village of its 「sins」 and the 「people」 making them!" ({[A/N: "「_」" refers to words related to the word within the brackets, I sorta got hooked on the idea of using that from watching so much Akuno-P vocaloid songs TTwTT" ANYWAYS! Back to the story! XD]})
I couldn't help but smile at Lin's face.
Yes, he'll watch his most precious be turned to ash ri~ght in front of him, how perfect.
"And, let us not forget our second and third witnesses, Father John Brown and Fu Ya!" I added, enjoying Lin grow even more horrified at the sight of John bound and gagged by the doorway, blood running down his arm as Fu sat by him to keep a watchful eye on the duo and the door.
I took a breath, grinning as I felt my power connect to the circle.
Perfect...
xXxXxXx
Yasu's POV:
I growled, before sighing.
"Monk, I need you to fetch Ayako and Cheng, meet me at the gate to the Demon district. James, I need you to keep an eye on what's happening, Masako will relay that then to Gene through your abilities as a medium - this place is like a hotwire of power, so it's merely like making a telepathic phonecall, you'll know your sorted when I say. Kaede, I want you to look after James and Masako, while I want Hibari and Hibiki to take Hikari to the vantage point up the mountain side, but ensure it's far enough away so you can see everything." I ordered. "Gene and I will get Cho."
Running to the Demon district, Gene and I found Cho, and got back just in time to find Monk, Ayako and Cheng.
"Come on!" I stated, quickly grabbing Cheng and Cho's hands so they couldn't escape, before walking hurriedly through to the Library. "Cho, the honours?"
Cho glanced at Cheng, before gently touching his shoulder, the pale platinum-silver symbol of the hourglass sinking gently into the wall, before we entered the Library.
"We can use Fu's book to get in where the trouble is happening, that way I can deal with the enchantment most likely used and both Monk and Ayako can deal with Miss-Zombie-Lover." I continued, pulling his book from it's stand and writing in my best kanji each of our appearances in the room...
xXxXxXx
Monk's POV:
I was shocked when I saw the ritual, and Gene gave a cry at the sight of Mai and Naru glowing as the chanting was twisting around the room like a snake, both lifted in the air as ice and earth swirled around like a barricade.
Lin was struggling against his chains, attached to the wall, the chains he wore covered in flaming ice.
"NAUMAKUSANMANDABAZARADANKAN!" I roared.
It... Works?
The ice and flames receded, Lin breaking his chains, before looking up.
"Yasu! Don't!" he yelled, quickly charging and blocking Fu before he brought his sword down on my head.
Yasu had snuck round behind Yi, and as she turned, he slammed the hand he had drawn a marking on onto the edge of the circle, his teeth grit in concentration.
It was like an explosion, Naru and Mai dropping limply to the floor as Yasu recited something quickly.
The ceiling and floor cracked, breaking the entire circle, before Yasu sat into a kneeling position, his eyes on the limp form of Yi.
"The dreams were all made by her - what better way to gain control over an entire group of people than taking control of their family?" he sighed.
LIN x JOHN! XD (Though it's only fluff, no kissing... ;w;)
Lin was silent as he lowered Fu's also now-limp form to the floor, before stepping over to John, helping Ayako unbind him as Cheng stood there, shocked.
"Lin..." John asked, before hugging him.
"What did she do?" Lin asked.
"She drank my blood, but besides that... Lin, what she said... Why did she called you "my darling"?" John asked, and Lin sighed.
"Yi... Once, back before she broke me out... I rejected her, since she didn't know my... Orientation. It's why I've been wanting to right the village the entire time, but today..." he gave a small, annoyed chuckle. "She said she wanted to burn everything to pieces so as to remove not only her memories of me, but also all the sin; I was the whole reason for her unhinged state, and I couldn't even..."
John hugged him tighter as tears began falling, making my eyes widen.
"So you basically took opposing views to how the same problem could be solved." I mused.
"And I made my childhood friends completely and utterly loathe my existence." Lin agreed.
"Fu won't." John replied, calmly, running his fingers through Lin's hair, making me smile at how cute they were. "Fu's been possessed by Yi ever since her return."
End of Lin-x-John-ness ;w;
"In igne comburet, in cinere, et factus est epitome de inferno!" Fu suddenly hissed, and our heads snapped to see his eyes fixed on Lin, Yi's smile painted on his face.
Lin quickly shot away from John as ice shot towards him, black feathers bursting into flame as Lin roared.
"Run! NO~W!" he roared at us, falling to his knees as his eyes flickered between red and pitch black.
Ryuuko appeared.
"Try not to touch the flames - it's hell fire, a type can completely corrupt you if you dare touch it." he ordered.
I retrieved Mai as Cheng picked Naru up hurriedly, carrying them from the room as flames began to lick around the building.
Ryuuko quickly moved towards his brother, pulling the flames into himself...
xXxXxXx
Hibari's POV:
Hikari gave out a little scream as she pointed at the Village.
"Dàgē! Kojou-dàgē and Ryuuko-dàgē are burning!" she exclaimed, and Hibiki and I froze, turning to face the direction of her finger to see the tendril of purple smoke...
xXxXxXx
James' POV:
I hugged my brother as he came running into the courtyard.
"Where's Kojou-dàgē?" Kaede gasped.
Monk looked towards the building, and Kaede tried to move towards it.
"No, Kaede. We can sort it out." John replied softly, as Mai and Naru stirred.
Naru's eyes snapped open, and he quickly pulled Mai close, making her wake up fully.
"I'll deal with these two, Gene too." Yasu stated.
John smiled, and his violin appeared, and he plucked it from the air, checking it quickly, before playing...
I suggest you put on Lindsey Stirling's Master of Tides for this XD it's the song I chose about a year ago for it ;w;
xXxXxXx
Hibiki's POV:
I watched as light began to wash over the village from the central square, reaching us, and I felt comforted, as 26 angels, no, archangels and archeia appeared, walking through the city.
I heard John's playing, and realized how it was a prayer without words, letting his feelings for the people and wish for purity out.
However, it was also how he was giving away his wings to be able to do so.
"Back to the village! It's John! He's going... He's going to let himself fall for our sakes!" I exclaimed, and Hikari and Hibari quickly followed me as I half ran, half rolled back to the village...
Joker: WAAH! I wrote a thousand more words than this, and it turns out I'd better have it on a new chapter (and I say this as I realise every time I update it's during a load of trouble... Weeell, Cray-cray's O~K 'K! XD). This is simply becaue Fanfiction didn't like me yesterday... (It wouldn't load the age at school OR home... TT~TT poopy)
Mai: Joker, why did you avoid showing Naru and I's state?
Joker: That was part of the delted part... *grumbles*
Mai: ({[Sighs]}) Well, in that case, can reader-shi please comment? If you haven't noticed, Joker-inusan has- ({[Peers towards Joker to see one of the office cushions being shredded in Joker's worry over others not liking her stories]}) JOKER! NO! ({[Runs to sort out]})
