A/N: Hey, again me with a new chapter. Look guys, I'm sorry I updated this late, I had a lot of work for school and honestly, I didn't know what to write, I ran out of ideas.. Anyways, I made cover for the fanfiction, now just to figure out how to set it… Well, enjoy! Reminder: We left off when Kidd walked into Dispensary about recovering information from Rin. He saw Yoshiki by Tachiko's bed. Now let's see what will happen..

Chapter 12:

Emerging Chaos

Tuesday, November 18th, 01:34 p.m. - Dispensary

Yoshiki raised his look from his asleep meister, still holding her hand. Kidd was standing at Dispensary doorway, looking at two; it was clear to see he was still a bit irritated by other students' reactions on his sister's sudden disappearance and sudden appearance in infirmary and what he heard from Rin; The more he thought about both, the more it was budging him.

"Oh, hi Kidd.." Yoshiki said, breaking the silence that seemed to last forever. Gold eyes locked into deep blue.

"Good to see you've finally woken up.." Kidd replied, faking a calm tone, "So, how're you feeling?"

"Not bad, just a few smaller wounds and a broken leg." Yoshiki said, putting on a small grin.

Kidd's look slowly lowered; Yoshiki's chest was almost completely covered with bandages.

"That doesn't look like nothing.." he said.

"It's hard to say actually when it doesn't hurt as much." Yoshiki replied, still looking at him.

Kidd's look fell onto the bed Tachiko was lying on. The calm expression diffused like a breath cloud at cold weather, slowly changing into look of worry, the silence once again seemed like it lasted forever. Yoshiki seemingly interpreted the expression well. He looked down, to the side. Pain could be felt in air.

"H-hey Kidd, I wanted to ask you something.." Yoshiki said, again breaking the silence, slightly looking back up to him with one eye shadowed out under his uneven bangs. "What happened while I was out?"

Kidd sighed, clearly avoiding the answer, he sat down on bed left to Tachiko's, he had his head slightly bowed down and closed eyes. Yoshiki was stubbornly looking at him. W hen young Shinigami accepted the fact that he won't give up, no matter how much he delays it,

"Tachiko got kidnapped" he replied quietly, opening eyes to half but still avoiding eye contact with brown haired weapon, "It was just when father announced that festival started… Giriko appeared out of nowhere, knocked out Tachiko and ran backwards, into some kind of portal… Professor Stein, You, Black*Star and I chased him, you're the only one who managed to enter the portal after Giriko before it closed… Your soul responses disappeared the second portal had closed.." he took a second before continuing, his look was still glued to ground,

"Yesterday, we found you two.. You were found by Professor Stein and Deathscythe Spirit, I couldn't exactly see what kinds of wounds you had, but I suppose they weren't too bad.. Tachiko was though, in much worse shape… Mentally" he quickly added on, seeing Yoshiki's extremely worried expression, "Fortunately she wasn't seriously injured, she was soon fast asleep and Giriko was nowhere to be found.." he finished, closing his eyes again.

Yoshiki's expression was practically unreadable at this point. Worry, fear, confusion; but the most recognizable, shock. His look was flying trough room; To Tachiko, then to Kidd, after that to doors or window, repeatedly.

"But, I have a question for you too.." Kidd said, his eyes were shadowed out, his voice was cold "What was that headache medicine you gave me after street attack?"

"What are you talking about? What medicine?" Yoshiki looked back at him

"Don't lie.." Kidd wasn't giving up, "You gave me some amber colored liquid that you said is 'good for headaches'.. Professor Stein analyzed it and it was some kind of poison that sends fake danger signals trough body, causing pain and short feel of relief after taking it… I've practically drugged myself, thinking it would help.."

"I ain't give you any damn medicine!" Yoshiki replied staring at Kidd with eyes wide opened, trace of hysteria was easily heard in his voice and seen on his face.

"You cannot hide it!" Kidd replied with angry yell, shooting his head back up, staring right into young weapon's eyes "I clearly remember it you giving it to me, here in this room! Even Tachiko could confirm that you gave it to me!"

"How the hell would I give it to you, I was in my dorm whole freaking day!" Yoshiki yelled

"You weren't in the dorm, you said you were going to Tachiko and just disappeared! Crona told me she was in dorm, checking where were you! You got her worried and just disappeared until the situation calmed down, you coward!" Kidd continued furiously.

"Oh, so you think you know better what I done than I do myself?!" Yoshiki with a sneer, his look and voice was almost pure hysteria by now.

"I do, because you seemingly don't have a brain to memorize it with!" Kidd replied

"Why you little-" Yoshiki swung his fist, Kidd did the same.

"Stop it…" a cold voice suddenly spoke

Both froze, seemingly somewhere between startle and shock, they didn't even realize that what they wasn't each other but cold, pale skin.

Tachiko was sitting between with her eyes shadowed out. She blocked hits by catching their fists. Her cold touch gave them chills down their spines.

Nobody moved for a while.

"T-Tachiko.." Kidd spoke but was immediately cut off by young female's cold voice again.

"Stop it…" She repeated, tightening grip on their fists with her nails slightly sank into their skins "I can't stand it…"

Both backed away almost at same moment. They could finally see Tachiko's eyes, they were half closed, staring down at bed with a glasslike look. Her skin was still pale with bandages on some places and she was much more skinnier than before. For some reason, to two boys, that sight was more than disturbing.

"Tachiko, a-are you alright?" Yoshiki asked when he regained himself.

"I'm fine.." Tachiko replied with a note of calmness in voice, "But I get the feeling you two aren't.."

Silence ruled the room once again, her words seemed to echo throughout. She was seemingly waiting for answer, patiently, while two boys either were still in shock or were too embarrassed by their outburst, but they couldn't deny that they were still angry at each other.

"Last thing I want to do is to tear even bigger hole in friendship between you two.. After what happened was fully my fault." she put hand up, stopping Yoshiki before he could say opposite. "It's not Yoshiki who made you drink that medicine, it was me, Black*Star wasn't one that wasn't watching out on his post, it was me…" her voice got shaky, "And most important of all, it's me who is responsible for you two getting worried and hurt… Nobody else's, but mine…" she continued, "I was afraid too, there was a great chance Yoshiki could had been dead and Kidd injured even more seriously.. And now…" she gritted her teeth and continued, though every word seemed to hurt her like a stab, "You two are fighting over something that I am responsible for…"

A few tears dripped onto bed cover, they seen color coming back into her skin. "I don't know the outcome of this, nor am I sure I want to know, but what I want is that you two stop fighting and constant suspicions!"

Kidd didn't know what he felt, it was almost same as feeling when they found her; thrill and happiness mixing with fear. He knew it was good that his sister hasn't changed, but was that all she was thinking about while she was in that building? About how things are going here but with so many pessimistic thoughts?

"We'll try our best"

"Yeah.."

She hiccoughed once and pulled them both into a hug,

"You idiots..!" she said before breaking up in tears again.

Both smiled in relief and hugged back. Her skin was warmer, she finally shown emotions, they knew she was okay, or at least going to be okay.

02:05 - Forest

Rin skipped last class, he headed straight to home to think things through, even though it was hard counting he had no sleep last night. The little time they had to rest after mission he spent thinking. He couldn't force himself into sleeping even if he wanted to. When he reached the mansion his family lived in he stopped. He backed up a few steps and took a close look at the building.

It was a big three floor white building, mostly made out of white marble. Pillars in corners were made of nice smooth sea-blue stones; His parents clearly weren't afraid of showing off how rich they were. But he had no interest in beautiful blue-white contrast. Something else catched his eye, one thing that was off.

Above doors, at the height of first floor, a big rhomboid shaped stone was put in the marble, made of simple dark grey stone. It seemed very old. It was hard to see, but it was definitely the family crest. He entered the house and decided to look it up in library. He went straight down the main hall then right of cafeteria. He found himself in a huge library. He dropped his bag by table and gone to "family history" marked shelf. After less than few minutes, he found it, the crest. It was Rhomboid shaped like one at entrance, in middle of it was the family mark; three pedestal flower in a thin lined circle. Right of it was a silver sword, ground was green and background light blue. Under it was a light blue puddle that was going along with the background, that meant peace. Left of it was an vertically put eye, and a blood puddle under it that seemed to be dripping either from eye or from blood red sky, the ground also seemed lifeless. He didn't have to be genius to figure out that meant madness. But something was weird, their family symbol seemed to be the link between the two.

He redrawn the symbol then put book back in its place. He picked up his bag and quietly gone upstairs to his room on first floor.

He threw bag to by his workbench and practically fell onto bed. He heard a "cling" sound as soon as bag hit the floor. He looked over to it and seen a glass shard lying by the bag. He got up and picked it up. He remembered; back at that building, when Kidd wasn't looking, he picked it up. He seen reflection of his eye in the shard. It may look just like a piece of broken glass but he seen something else… It was a communication system, just like one Shinigami uses. But this one is different, there are shards scattered all across that building, and what's important, they are all made by one and same mirror. That means, one person can watch all angles of building, at once, like security camera system.

"But the thing is… It can be the opposite.." Rin thought when sitting back on bed, "I wonder how it works though.. I can't even know if whoever set that up isn't watching me right now.."

After a few minutes, he gave up and put shard on his bedside table. When he heard a knock at doors he quickly put it under his pillow.

It was just one of his babysitters, checking on him. He sighed and gone doing homework, he put shard back by him.

At some point, when it was already starting to get dark, shard seemed to glow for a second. He froze in place, looking at it, like he was expecting to pop out of it. He looked right into it and after a short flash of white saw a blue purplish eye staring back at him for a second. From startle he broke eye contact and after another white flash he found himself on floor, with his chair flipped to side; he fell from chair when he broke eye contact. He was still in a bit of a shock.

"What the heck was that all about..?" He thought, trying to regain himself. He got up

"Young master, is everything alright?" he heard a voice from downstairs.

"Yes, I'm alright.." He replied. He picked the shard up, it was still faintly glowing. He looked at it then out the window, he saw the same glow from in between the trees. He slightly narrowed eyes and blinked a few times, but light was still there. He took the shard, quickly gone downstairs and sneaked out of house. He carefully followed the light, he proceeded deeper into forest as the shard he was holding continued to shine brighter and brighter with each step, light shining in front of him was leading him, At one point light just disappeared, though the shard he was holding was almost pulsing. He felt a breeze and his eyes widened. He turned around and seen a shadowed person; the same one that attacked Kidd, the same that gave him a piece of his soul, the same presence that he felt when they entered that stone building now filled the air.

The tall figure was hard to see. He had blue purplish eyes, uneven dark brown-red hair that was a little longer than shoulder length and partly covering his left eye. He had skin a bit lighter than Yoshiki, a grey cloth covering from nose below and black clothes.

"You…" Rin's voice sounded like it's filled with held back rage.

"Missed me?" the tall figure spoke with a deep and calm voice, though, a note of amusement and mock was heard in his voice. "By your look, I think you put the puzzle together once again, didn't you Rin?"

"You're the one behind this all, aren't you?" Rin said, now the rage was clearly seen on his face

"Me? No, I'm Their right hand.. And They were too fast for you Shibusen brats.. The apocalypse will begin, we even have new experiments.." He snapped his fingers

Black figures started to come out of darkness, tall and muscular black monsters surrounded them. Rin looked more than frightened by the sight.

"Vengeful spirits of people that killed themselves in that little prison we closed your friend in.. They of course, don't have their own will anymore. Only thing they feel is anger, rage, they have an insatiable thirst for bloodshed.. Our marionettes and army." tall figure spoke.

"You won't get away with this.. You're the monster here… The monster who I'm gonna beat senseless!" Rin hissed trough his gritted teeth and charged at him

Tall figure chuckled, he slightly narrowed his eyes and in a dark voice said "Attack the boy.. Shred him.. Feast on his lifeforce…" he then teleported away with just a snap of fingers.

"Get back over here!" Rin yelled, but soon realized monsters are closing on him; he was surrounded.

He felt himself getting overwhelmed by panic, he ran at one weakly guarded spot. but next he felt his strong punch in face and his back hitting something hard. The monster sent him flying back by a mere punch into tree that was four meters away.

He felt his nose bleeding and attempted to get up. One monster rushed at him with mouth open, revealing long razor sharp teeth. It held him against tree by neck. Rin succeeded to do a counterattack, but he knew he didn't stand a chance.. He the monsters started beating him mercilessly.

At some point, when he was close to losing consciousness, the mirror shard fell out of his pocket. Monsters almost immediately backed away.

It took him a few seconds to realize what happened, when he did, he picked up the shard and held it so the monsters can see it. He backed away slowly, limping. When he got out of their view he ran the best he could with such severe wounds.

"To DWMA…" he spoke in his mind repeatedly "I have to warn others… I have to get to DWMA before it's too late.."

He ran trough school, ignoring students that were confused and shocked by a student practically covered in his own blood, air was piercing his lungs but he wasn't stopping, he ran into Death Room and immediately started yelling

"Shinigami-sama! Shinigami-sama!"

Grim Reaper turned to Rin, clearly confused. When he saw wounds, he flinched.

"What-?"

"Monsters! Vengeful Spirits!.. People who kidnapped Tachiko-san.. They are making an army of them! W-we have to do something..!"

Rin was trying to catch his breath, the fact that his heart was beating fast only made bleeding worse.

"… Spirit, take him to infirmary, quick!" Lord Death ordered to red haired Deathscythe by him, who wasn't any less confused or startled than the Grim Reaper. He though, followed the order and helped Rin who only held for few minutes before passing out.
