Jack and Misty made it back to the hotel safely a few hours after the others did. Maka and Soul were able to catch another kishin but sadly Black*Star, Tsubaki, Kid, Liz and Patty didn't catch anything. Misty sat on the window sill in the room, her legs bent up and her torso leaning down, making her look like she'd been shoved into a small box. Jack sat on the floor beneath her, rubbing her arm.
"GrrrAUUHH! Why can't I ever catch anything?!" Blacl*Star wailed, ripping at his hair.
"Because you're an annoying blue haired monkey faced midget who can't keep his mouth shut." Misty muttered, raising her head enough so she could look at him, her long bangs falling over her eyes, but the ominous purple glow from them shown through. Black*Star shuddered at seeing her and turned away.
"A star like me should be able to get three thousand kishins in one hour! Something is throwing me off, and I think it's you." Black*Star accused, pointing at Misty. Misty only tilted her head like a curious dog at that notion. "You're creepy soul wave-length is scaring away all my kishins." Misty sat there, as though allowing this new thought to sink in before looking to the ceiling and leaning her head back, her bangs falling away from her eyes, to almost anyone in the room, this was the most of Misty's face they'd ever seen.
"My wave-length…?" Misty mumbled, as though really taking this under consideration. "Let me tell you about my wave-length." She said softly, turning around and setting her feet on the ground, leaning forward so her elbows rested on her thighs. "I know my wave-length is strange, and it's because I'm not exactly 'human', I have no blood, at least, it's not red." Soul peeked an eye open at her as she mentioned that fact. "In fact, I don't know what it is." Misty allowed a blade to extend from her left arm and then run her right wrist over the blade, cutting the skin. "Does this look 'normal' to you?" She asked, showing them her wrist. From the cut on her wrist, black smoke like tendrils came, lapping at the air like fire before dissipating. Soul shuddered as the other just looked on in amazement at both the smoke and the fact her skin was healing fast. "So how can my soul be normal is my blood is fake?" Misty asked, her face breaking out into a crazed grin.
Jack stood quickly, she'd never seen Misty smile before, no one had, and this smile was anything but warm and welcoming. She looked as though she had gone mad. "Mist…?" Jack asked, placing a hand on her friends shoulder. Misty looked at her, the smile never leaving her face until she fully noticed the look on Jacks face. Jack looked worried and scared for her. Misty swallowed as she allow the smile to fade, replaced by her usual emotionless face.
"I'm sorry…" Misty said, shaking her head before leaning back and falling from the window. Jack didn't worry about her too much, Misty was one girl who could handle herself.
"Will she be alright?" Tsubaki asked, looking to the window worriedly.
"She just needs alone time, Tsubaki, I'm sure she'll be fine." Kid said, staring at the window as well, his brows furrowed. He felt there was something Misty wasn't telling them, and he wanted to know what it was
Misty walked down the pre-dawn lit streets, hands shoved her pockets and her head down. She'd let it get control again. The madness in her soul. She gritted her teeth and started running, where to, she didn't know. She started weaving through the streets, trying to get lost but always knowing where she was.
When she finally stopped she found herself at the end of a dock, looking down at the dark green water. Misty swallowed and shook her head wildly, hitting her temple with a clenched fist. She growled and turned around, passing back and forth, allowing some of her anger to release itself slowly so as not to lose complete control.
She swallowed a lump and slowly kneeled down at the hard wood of the dock. "Monster…how should I feel….creatures lie here…looking through the window…The night he caged her….bruised and broke her….her struggled closer….then her stole her…violet wrists and then her ankle…..silent pain….then he slowly saw his nightmares were his dreams….monster….how should I feel….creatures lie here…looking through the window…..time will hear their voices….I'm a glass child…" Misty paused before muttering the last line. "I am Hannah's regrets…" Misty shook her head, replaying the song over and over again in her mind. It calmed her most of the time but it sometimes made her even angrier. Misty laid down on her back and stared up at the overcast sky, thinking it was going to storm. She felt the heaviness in the air and didn't like it. She preferred cloudy days with no rain.
"So…we found them here…here…and here, right?" Maka asked, laying a map out on the floor and mapping out where they found the kishins.
"Weren't we at Bells Beach?" Soul asked, looking down from the bed.
"Yeah, but you didn't see a kishin there." Liz said, looking in a mirror and plucking her eyebrows as Kid begged to do them for her. Soul nodded absently, looking at the map.
"There aren't many kishins here." Patty observed.
"That's because they all ran off at the sight of me! The great and powerfull Black*Star!" Black*Star said loudly. Jack growled at him.
"No wond'r wah Mist ran off, you are annoyin'." Jack said, glaring at him.
"Ah, go back to your ranch." Black*Star said, leaning back.
"Black*Star, please don't be so rude…." Tsubaki urged, blushing at the embarrassment of being his weapon. She respected Black*Star very much but sometimes she felt he didn't deserve the title of 'ninja'…even though he had never proved himself to be one.
"Ya'll keep talkin' like that and Ah'll hog tie you to the back of a semi doin' fifty down a dirth path." Jack warned darkly. "Misty ain't never done nothing to ya and ya still give her a hard tahm! Ah just don't git you Black*Star, how cin someone claiming to be sooo great lack the most importn't thing!"
"What thing is that? I got everything!"
"How about some modesty…" Everyone said, staring at him blankly. Black*Star only shrugged them off as he left the room.
"We prankin' him tonight?" Jack asked softly.
"To the fullest extent." Soul said, an evil glint in his eye
