Seeds of Agito

While Miyuki, the main protagonist from "Miyuki-chan In Wonderland" gives you reader something to feel apprehensive about, this chapter's going to give you something to glued you to your seats...as another CLAMP character is set to come back to this fic, and it will start right about now…


At the Tokyo General Hospital, the scene shifts to the Intensive Care Unit where Umi remained confined...and in comatose. So far the nurses made regular visits every hour to monitor her condition, and so far she is breathing well, mainly due to her being hooked to a ventilator. However, neither the nurses, or the doctors, have no idea that someone is inside the room, but thanks to his magic, he is undetected as he glances at the ex-Magic Knight and he glances at her...seeing how peaceful she has been yet he felt that she cannot remain like this forever. He felt that now is the time for her to "awake her soul".

141: Fukkatsu

The Overlord of Light glances at Umi as he uses his magic to recall the events that happened several weeks back, where Naoto Kirihara uses his psychokinetic powers to break her and came to understand her refusal to fight back, but seeing that she nearly lost her life when kidnapped by ARK and the Scarab Lords. Closing his eyes, he looked back at how Umi bear the pain she went through as she attempted to use non-violence in trying to calm her then-opponent.

-x-x-x-

- At a park near Tokyo's main road, Umi stopped by to get a breather as she tries to regroup and figure out why Naoto wanted to kill her and wondered if he is part of the Akatsuki Ferry passengers and/or whether he has Agito powers or not, but then Naoto arrived and rammed her motorcycle, which causes her to be thrown off and hit the ground, which he got off and began applying his psychokinetic assaults.

"Die, you witch! You are the reason why our work is ruined! You are working with the Unknown!"

"UUNNNFFF! I told you I'm not an Unknown! I'm human! I have superhuman abilities just like you! Please stop this and let's talk peacefully and rationally about this!"

"You won't fool me!"

Naoto continues to pummel her using his psychokinetic powers and slammed her repeatedly onto the ground, but despite being throttled around, Umi still has her presence of mind and tries to talk to Naoto to stopping his attacks and asked him why he is assaulting her, but Naoto insisted that she is in league with the Lords, which she denies the accusation, and this made him agitated as he uses his psychokinesis to slam her on the ground hard.

"You cannot hide the guilt on your face…but…if you repent what you've done…I'll consider sparing you…come on…beg for mercy and admit your crimes!"

"Uuuhhhnn…why…would I…confess…when I truly am…innocent…?"

Seeing that she is not begging for mercy, Naoto demanded that Umi change into Gills, but she refused and continues to proclaim her innocence, and he further uses his powers to slam her further to the ground, busting her head open and blood spilled out of her forehead, even though she kept on telling Naoto that Hinata died at the hands of the Plant Lord.

"You really want to die…do you…? Then die! Die! Die! Die!"

As Naoto continued with his assault using his psychokinesis, he is surprised that Umi kept on standing up and told him that she is innocent, but he then uses his powers to slam her against a lamp post and then against a parked car, yet she persevered and told him to calm down and talk things over.

"Why won't you stay down?"

"Because I have…done…nothing…wrong…and…I won't…use my…Agito powers…on a…fellow human…"

"You…fucking bitch!"

Further irritated, Naoto uses his psychokinetic powers to land "punches" on her body, and this time blood spilled from her mouth as she is beaten up by psychic assaults coming from Naoto. Umi is slowly getting weakened by every minute yet she refuses to assume her Agito form knowing that her attacker is misunderstood, but she is unaware that someone is manipulating him into attacking her.

- At Tokyo, Naoto continues to pound Umi using his psychokinesis and he became more and more irritated as she is not staying down as she kept on telling him she is innocent, but then he stopped his attacks for a moment as the Class M member glances at her hands up to her forearms, seeing that she is beginning to suffer from the effects of cellular deterioration, shocking her.

"Huh? My hands…my forearms…it's just like what occurred at the research facility…am I suffering from cellular deterioration…? What is happening to me…? Is this a side effect of having Agito powers? What is happening to me…? Why is my body reacting in such a negative way…? I've got to put a stop to this senseless battle…!"

"What's this…? Why his her forearms getting wrinkled…? Am I going to far…? Did I really make the wrong move? Maybe she isn't really the one I'm after…what if she's telling the truth…?"

"Ignore it…you have your orders…kill her! She is a threat to you and our cause! Show no mercy! Kill her! I order you! You will do as I say and this cannot be denied! She is an enemy that must be destroyed! Kill! Do not stop until she is dead! For the plan to succeed you must slay her!"

As Naoto saw this, he hesitated, wondering if he has been going to far, but then a voice spoke to his head and told Naoto to continue attacking Umi, and though he questions the voice, Naoto's mind surrendered as he resume attacking her, and once more uses his psychokinesis to slam her to the ground…HARD. As Umi screams out, Naoto continues to pound her several times until he held her in place.

"Now then…I ask you one more time…admit your crimes and I'll consider sparing you…"

"And…h-how can I…c-confess…w-when I did…not commit…anything…w-wrong…uuhhhnnn…"

When he gave Umi one last chance to admit her "crimes", she refused as she told him she really is innocent, and there Naoto did the unthinkable. He uses his psychokinetic abilities to snap the bones on her arms, which Umi screams out in pain. Not satisfied, he did the same to her legs and demanded that she begs for mercy which she refuses and he resumed throttling her around and on the ground.

"Bitch! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!"

Driven by lust, Naoto uses his psychokinetic powers to shatter the bones in her ribcage and then continues to pound her and finally uses his power to shatter her spinal cord, and again Umi screams out in pain as she became paralyzed to the waist down, and kept on hurling her around.

- As the person (shown only in first person view) is heading for the scene, still far away, the scene shifts to Tokyo Park as Umi lay on the ground, she is critically wounded as her woes piled up and she could no longer move due to her broken arms and legs, as well as her spine is shattered, and she realized that she has been paralyzed, and thus she could no longer defend herself as Naoto stepped closer to her, though he is surprised that her spirit hasn't been broken and told him she is innocent and that she is not in league with the Lords.

"Are…you…happy…now…?"

"You still defy me? Aren't you suffering enough? Just admit your crimes and I'll spare you the further punishment and will let you live…that way you won't have to suffer more from me…"

"Again…I tell you…this…how can I…admit…when I really…am…innocent…"

"You really are stubborn…what if I kill you here and now…?"

"W-will…that…bring…peace..to…Hinata Asahi's…soul…?"

"You piece of…just die, you murdering whore! I care not about the consequences as long as I bring you to justice the easy way! Let eternal punishment be cast upon you! I will deliver judgment onto you for the murder of the girl you killed!"

Enraged at the "lies" Umi gave, Naoto further assaulted the already battered Umi with his psychokinetic powers and had her levitated high and then slammed her repeatedly on the ground, but to his surprise, she still persisted in reaching him through talking, and this time she is shouting at him to open his eyes to see the mistake he has done. He angrily repeated the assault and again she persisted, and Naoto is starting to lose his patience.

"EVEN IF YOU KILLED ME…IT WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING! IT WAS AN UNKNOWN WHO KILLED HER! I'M A HUMAN…NOT AN UNKNOWN! YOU ARE MISTAKEN! YOU'RE USING YOUR POWERS ON THE WRONG CULPRIT! WHY NOT ASK THE WITNESSES AT HINATA ASAHI'S NEIGHBORS TO GET THE TRUTH? THAT WAY IT WILL PUT YOU AT EASE…"

"Enough lies! Your judgment will come forth and you shall be banished at the lower end of the afterlife! You will suffer eternal regret for killing her! I will be the angel that will expose you as the demon that you are! You will be despised by the people for being a demon pretending to be human!"

"You…really…are…crazy…"

"You will pay for those words, you demon…"

-x-x-x-

Seeing enough, the Overlord of Light decided to make a decision to get Umi healed at once, and with his counterpart making his move in tracking down the remaining "Agito" seed holders, he realized that now is the time to bring the blue-haired beauty back as she is going to be instrumental in helping Hikaru and Fuu.

"With the current events that has happened…I must see to it that you are restored to your full health…but at this point I cannot afford to use my power…but there is someone I might find in getting you out of your current situation…for you have suffered enough and you must get your own bearings back as your power is needed in the future situations ahead of you. Be a bit patient, ex-Magic Knight of Water…you will be physically restored to full health…"

Closing his eyes, he uses his psionic powers to search for the current seed holders who may have the power to help Umi as he couldn't afford to use his as he needed his powers to keep the Overlord of Darkness at bay while assembling his own team besides the Sumeragi siblings. After a few minutes he has finally found SOMEONE who can help the still-comatose ex-Magic Knight, and where to find her.

"Ah…looks like I solved THAT particular problem…and now I can make some solutions to approach that person…"

-x-

At DDS the next day, Class Q and M meet up at the rooftop of the main building where Fuu is waiting as she tells the others about an incident where a fuel truck crashed onto a car and killed two persons, though she clarifies that up until now the victims' identities remained unidentified, and Megumi recalled that the area is where Miyuki showed up and saved her from her stalker, which Kyuu became concerned.

"…and that's what happened..and up until now the MPD is still verifying their identifications…"

"Wait…that's the spot where Miyuki-chan saved me from a stalker…"

"Really, Megu?"

"Yes, Kyuu…he seem to know that I possess photographic memory and claims that I possess something else…but she saved me as she said she'll deal with him…"

"Thank goodness…wait…isn't she the one you mentioned about…the woman who is also a survivor of the Akatsuki Ferry incident?"

"Yes…she's the one…wait…Hikaru…you said that you went to Miyuki-chan's apartment…did you get to meet her?"

"Ah…no…you see…"

By then Hikaru said that she was at Miyuki's apartment with Ringo and Kobato but said that she is not at home during that time and assured to them that she may be out doing some office job as she showed to them a text message stating that she looks forward into meting them again soon. By then the two sections decided to head back to their classrooms as classes are about to resume, and the scene shifts to Class Q's classroom where Kinta stated that since Kelberos is jailed, there has been no word from the police or from Dan about Pluto's current activities.

"So then…there's no word from your dad about interrogating Kelberos, Kinta?"

"Afraid not…and even Dan-sensei didn't mention anything…I bet Pluto's is getting disorganized after we caught one of their top dogs…"

"I wouldn't be sure, Kinta…"

"Come on, Ryu…we dealt Pluto a big blow…so we should act confident for once…right, Kyuu?"

"Right, Kinta…"

"If only you guys knew…"

While Kinta's comments implied that since Kelberos' "capture", Pluto appeared to have lie low, yet Ryu is silently apprehensive about this, as he suspect that his grandfather is hatching a scheme like recruiting new members or coming up with a plan to break him out of jail, since he assumed that no one could replace Kelberos as "field leader".

"I wonder what my grandfather is planning this time…"

-x-

At DDS' computer room, Kazuma and Megumi are there after being summoned by Hikaru, where the Class M leader showed to them the list of the surviving passengers of the Akatsuki Ferry which the computer genius immediately copied it top his laptop, and there she told the two that they must find them no matter what, stating that the survivors might hold the key in providing clues on why the Unknown are targeting them.

"…and that's why we must find the survivors…so that we might get answers and protect each other…"

"Okay…I'm copying the names on my laptop…"

"I hope that we hear from Miyuki-chan…she is our o0nly lead at this time…huh? Wait…I got a text message…hey! Check this out! She wants to meet us now…!"

By then, Megumi received a text message from Miyuki which she, Hikaru and Kazuma looked at, which it says that Miyuki wants to see them in the next few days, and there the three DDS students decided to head there tomorrow after DDS classes, and a few minutes later Kazuma boards the limousine while Hikaru boards her Ducati Desmosedici motorcycle and the trio head off to Miyuki's apartment, as Megumi said she'll catch up later as she is going to submit a school report to Hongou.

After a few more minutes the Class Q beauty left the school grounds and is about to head home when the Overlord of Light, in his civilian guise, approaches her and uses a coded conversation to make her curious about him, such as mentioning her photographic memories and her exploits in solving cases. While she answered back politely by saying that all have been in the newspapers, he surprised her by her time at the Tokyo Research Institute with Ryu, being hypnotized by Kelberos into forgetting Ryu, and being "de-hypnotized" by Morihiko Dan. She is surprised by this and demanded an answer.

"So…you have photographic memory to memorize certain places…and use them to solve crimes…"

"Ah, yes…I'm doing this at a school…"

"A school for detectives…quite a worthy course…"

"Thank you…"

"And you and a boy met at this so-called Tokyo Research Institute since 10 years ago…"

"Huh? How did you know about that?"

"And during that time, a man uses a swinging pendant to make you forget about that blue-haired boy…the man who hypnotized you is currently a member of an elusive organization…"

"H-how…"

"And it took a semi-elderly man bound on a wheelchair to remove that hypnosis and you remembered that boy…"

"How do you know all of that?"

"I happened to be a stranger…but I know about your abilities…including a hidden one you have besides photographic memory…"

"What?"

"If you're willing…I can show you what I mean…the hidden ability you have holds the key to save Umi Ryuuzaki…"

"Are you serious? And what do you mean by that?"

"Come with me to the place she is currently held…and I will show you the answers…of course it is up to you…"

Megumi became even more perplexed when told that she holds a hidden power besides her photographic memory and said that he will show it to her if he accompanies him at Tokyo General Hospital, stating that she holds the key in saving Umi. Although suspicious, she nevertheless went along to see what he meant about saving Umi. She figured that if she tries to call for help now he might run off and do something to the Class M member.

-x-

At Tokyo General Hospital, 30 minutes later, both Megumi and the Overlord of Light are inside the Intensive Care Unit and she is keeping her eyes on him to see if he is planning something bad to Umi but then she demands an explanation as to why he claimed she has "the key" to save Umi, and he simply stated that she has a hidden ability that is not related to her photographic memory and instead he secretly goaded her into placing her hands onto Umi's body saying that she will find out what he meant and asks her to close her eyes.

"Now then…close your eyes…concentrate…think that you can save her…focus on the thought that she will recover from her injuries and that she will move again in full health…"

As she did as she is told, which he instructed her to think that Umi will be alright, the Class Q beauty unknowingly activated her hidden power and her hands glowed as she started to undo the damage to the ex-magic Knight's body, healing her fractures and her spine, this went on for under four minutes and when she opened her eyes, the Overlord of Light is nowhere to be found yet she saw Umi is relatively fine, but started to lay on her side, which surprises her and Megumi called for the nurses and after a few minutes, even the doctors are summoned as they are mystified to see how Umi's body is able to move.

To Be Continued…


Looks like Megumi stole the show in this chapter and she became the "key" in saving Umi from becoming paraplegic forever…but what scope of her health has been restored?
