Hello guys! Wow it's been three weeks since my last update, I'm so sorry! Please take chapter 6 as an apology? Thank you to AnonymousAK for the review for the last chapter and yes Tsukune is still a ghoul. Please enjoy the chapter!
"I think you might be wrong, Mizore." Kurumu told Mizore.
Kurumu left to help a group of children and left the yuki-onna with her thoughts. She was so torn that she didn't even notice Takeshi and Ruby walking towards her.
"Mizore? Are you ok?" Ruby asked, noticing her friend was out of it.
Mizore jumped a little before looking at them. "Yeah, I'm fine." She lied and Takeshi knew it but he decided to leave it alone.
"Ruby had an idea. If we can get Kyoko then we can get her to tell us what else she knows about monsters." Takeshi explained.
"We need to find out what she and the rest of the world already know about us." Ruby followed on.
"But I've sealed the village in, we won't be able to get out in time." Mizore said, disappointed.
"We can and I know a way to find her." Ruby said just before a red book appeared in her hand. She chanted a few words and smiled at Takeshi, who just looked confused. "Hold on." She warned and closed her eyes. The book disappeared and Ruby took Takeshi and Mizore's hands before they disappeared too.
"Where are we?" Takeshi asked looking around at his new surroundings but all he could really see was snow. He relaxed a little knowing that they obviously hadn't gone that far.
"We're currently on top of the village. Good work Mizore, it explains why Kyoko hasn't found it yet." Ruby praised smiling at her friend.
"So where's Kyoko? I thought that's where the spell took us." Takeshi asked.
"That's what I thought." Ruby said looking confused. "Maybe I got the spell wrong or something."
"Well, she's got to be around here somewhere. If she's as cunning as I remember then she's probably hiding." Mizore said looking around.
"Well if she's as stupid as I remember, then she's probably hiding over there." Takeshi said, narrowing his eyes as he saw a random pile of snow moving a distance away from him.
It was as if Kyoko heard him because she dived out of the pile of snow. She didn't even spare any time to warm up before she started to run. Mizore immediately chased after her. Kyoko wasn't used to the icy temperatures and Mizore used that to her advantage as she got closer to her. She grabbed Kyoko and ice ran up her arm until she was completely frozen.
"Take her back to the temple. She won't be able to get away if all of us are there." Mizore said when Takeshi and Ruby caught up with her. Ruby's book appeared in her hand again and all of them were transported back to the temple.
Takeshi went to round up the others while Mizore took Ruby and the frozen Kyoko to a dungeon like room beneath the temple. The ice around Kyoko had just been melted and she was being tied to a chair just as the others arrived.
"Hey wake up!" Koko yelled at the unconscious girl in the chair but she didn't stir.
"Wake up." Kurumu said in a dangerously low tone just after she slapped Kyoko awake. She struggled in the chair while glaring at Mizore.
"I won't tell you anything. You and your kind will be dead before I'll speak." She said still glaring.
"You've changed your tune. What happened to the girl and was sorry for everything she'd done and wanted forgiveness?" Mizore asked stepping forward.
"She grew up." Kyoko said bluntly.
"It's been two months" Ruby said. "What could've happened to you in the last 62 days that's made you so angry?"
"A monster killed my parents." Kyoko replied.
"There it is." Koko muttered under her breath.
"Punishing all monsters isn't going to bring them back. Trust me, I know how you're feeling." Ruby said, her voice becoming softer.
"How can you possibly know how I'm feeling?!" Kyoko yelled at Ruby.
"Because my parents were killed too!" Ruby yelled back, Kyoko opened her mouth to say something but she couldn't do it. "They were killed by humans so with the help of my mistress, we planned to get our revenge on them. But then I met Tsukune and I realized that not all humans are evil." She said quietly, calming down.
"I understand that you want revenge but you're putting all humans at risk by waging a war on us. It'll only end in tragedy." Moka said.
"You're right." Kyoko said.
"That's it." Koko grabbed her neck and squeezed until she was sure Kyoko wasn't breathing.
"What are doing? Let her go." Moka tried to pry her sister away.
"Don't you get it?" Koko asked as Tsukune pulled her off of Kyoko. "She's trying to get us to feel sorry for her so we'll let her go. Her parents were killed but she's just saying that to distract us from our original intentions."
"That's insane, Koko." Kyoko exclaimed but she failed to hear the sneer in her own voice and, unluckily for her, everyone heard it.
Tsukune let go of Koko just as her vampire aura started pouring out from her body. Moka looked at her sister and wondered why one person could get her so worked up. The said girl placed her hand on Kyoko's head, her power emanated through the blonde's brain, giving her an unbearable headache and the feeling her head was on fire.
"I'm only going to ask you this once." Koko voice was dark and merciless. "Where are your soldiers attacking next?"
"And how much do you know about us already?" Ruby added.
Kyoko tried not to speak but she knew the searing in her brain would stop if she said the truth. The pain had been unbearable for the last five minutes and it was obvious that Koko wasn't going to kill her until she spoke. After another five minutes of screaming, she finally decided to speak.
"I'll say something! Please stop!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Koko withdrew her hand but the pain still tore through her body. "The army found a whole society of monsters living in Tokyo and their going to storm them. They found out how to kill monsters from fantasy books and their making new weapons to fight your kind." She said quickly and immediately kicked herself for the one secret she sworn to keep.
Ruby stepped forward and touched her head. The red book appeared in her hands and she whispered an incantation. She looked at Kyoko right in the eyes before turning back to her friends. "She's telling the truth." She announced before they all started to leave.
"Where are you going? You can't leave me here!" Kyoko yelled after them. "Takeshi, please." He stopped and turned around. Her heart broke a bit. She wished he would look at her like he used to.
"What Kyoko?" He asked.
"Don't you just wish things had been different between us?" She asked looking lovingly at him as he came closer.
"Of course I do. If you hadn't threatened the lives of all my friends then we could've been friends." He said truthfully but his eyes didn't hold the same love that her's did.
"How many times do I have to apologize?" She asked and put a hand on his arm. He relaxed a little by her touch but then a thought hit him like a rock. She'd untied herself! He was about to call for his friends before something flew past him and straight into Kyoko's heart.
He turned around to see Mizore standing behind him with an icy arm extended in front of her. She lowered it as it she returned back to her human form.
"Thank you." He said smiling at her.
"For an all powerful vampire, you're fooled too easily. You're way too forgiving." Mizore said as they walked from the room.
He laughed a bit at her comment, "It's all part of my charm."
Hello again! I don't know if this chapter made up for my lateness but I did my best. Until next time! Please review! Bye!
