Chapter 9
Black and Nezumi were now on their way to their next mission which was a town that was hunting down people and using them for human sacrifices. It was up to Black to put an end to it all. They were on the trail when they were stopped by something in the road. They couldn’t tell what it was until they got closer but when they saw it the sight was something quite disturbing. There lying in the road was the body of a child who had died and now there were vultures hovering over the body. Black couldn’t stand to see the sight of the child so she took the body and buried it properly. Who the boy was or who his parents were Black didn’t care about but she just felt sorry for the boy to be left there alone with no one and die. Black and Nezumi continued their journey until they reached their destination. To their surprise though when they walked into the main gate they saw the town was almost completely empty. There wasn’t a single person in sight that could be seen. The town was almost like a ghost town and both Black and Nezumi were a little weirded out. Where were all the people? Had they all left from something terrible or did they just leave. They kept walking into the town until they saw someone running towards them. It looked like a man and he was running straight at Black. At first he looked harmless but as he got closer Black saw a strap of explosives tied to his waist and the fuse was lit. Black pushed Nezumi back and pulled out her sword. However the fuse me it’s end and the explosives blew tearing the man in half.
“What the heck was that all about?” Nezumi asked.
“Don’t know but maybe they can give us an answer.”
Black pointed to a group of men in masks dragging the body away. One of them saw Black and quickly ran away with the others. The two decided to follow the group and see where it led them. They followed them to the center of the town there was a huge pile of dead bodies and surrounding it were people in masks. To help blend in Black and Nezumi knocked two people out and stole their masks and costumes to help blend in. The sight was disgusting as it was but Black stood there and watched as the group from before dragged the body to the pile then stepped to the side. One of the people stood up and said,
“People! The purification is almost complete! Now all we need is a maiden of pure and the purification will be complete!”
The crowd cheered and raised their bloody fists into the air. Then the man in the middle settled everyone down and said,
“The maiden must be one of our own though. Tell me who will be brave enough to take on such a task and be willing to sacrifice their lives for the greater good of our people?!”
A couple people stepped forward and the man walked over and started to unmask them. He looked at the girls but shook his head no saying they were not pure. Then suddenly Nezumi was pushed forward and the man saw. He walked over and pulled Nezumi’s mask off. When he saw her face he gasped and said,
“This is the maiden of pure of whom we shall sacrifice to our God!”
The crowd roared but Nezumi didn’t look to happy. She was about to draw her weapon but then two other men came over and tied her hands and covered her eyes. Then they lifted her and carried her around the town. Black had no choice but to follow and stay hidden for if she attacked she would be outnumbered. They paraded Nezumi around town before finally bringing her to a certain house and everyone left. They would do the ceremony tomorrow which means Black was going to have to get Nezumi out by then. The house was heavily guarded and there was no way of getting inside just by charging. She had to think like Nezumi and think of something Nezumi would do. It was then she got the idea of taking one of the shovels that were nearby and started to dig a tunnel underground and into the room Nezumi was in. She was able to get in and when she popped her head out she felt something hard hit her head.
“What the heck is that?!”
“Nezumi calm down it’s me!”
Black looked over at Nezumi and couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Nezumi was in a white kimono with red flowers in her hair. With the way the moon shined down on her Nezumi really did look like a maiden of pure with her creamy skin reflecting the light giving it a gentle glow. Her eyes looked soft and gentle as if there was no evil inside. Nezumi looked beautiful and Black thought she had never seen her like this. Nezumi blushed and said,
“Are you here to rescue me or what?”
Black nodded her head and showed her the tunnel she made.
“Not bad Black not bad at all.”
The two escaped into the night and when they were outside Nezumi said,
“We can’t let these people keep living this way. We’re gonna have to put an end to all of it.”
Black nodded in agreement and handed Nezumi her weapons. She smiled and said,
“The maiden of pure is about to become the maiden of death…”
Then the two went and started killing people from left to right. Black slashed them down with her katana and Nezumi used her threads to slice the men into chunks. The two went from house to house killing any who lived there. What disgusted Black though was that even the children were involved in this. Black was going to spare one of the children but then even they pulled out knives and tried to kill Black. She had no choice but to kill them and Black hated killing kids. Eventually everyone in the village was dead except for one and that was the leader who was held up in his big house. Black was about to head to the house but then there was a loud scream. Black rushed over to the spot and found Nezumi pinned down by the man and he had a sword pointed at her neck. Black didn’t move as she watched the man pick Nezumi up and hold her close to him. He laughed and said,
“You think you can stop this?! No it doesn’t work like this. If we don’t sacrifice to the God then we will all perish! Don’t you see we’re only trying to save humanity? It’s thanks to people like me we’re all still alive today.”
“Shut your mouth fatty!” Nezumi said.
“Quite you! It’s almost time for the ceremony and I’m going to make sure you’re sacrifice is painful.”
“Bring it on!”
The man raised his sword and was about to strike Nezumi. Black was going to move but something shot past her and hit the man right in the head. He hit the ground crying in pain and Black quickly pulled Nezumi back. Then out of nowhere Center walked over with a dark look on her face. She looked down on the man and said,
“You think your God even cares about you? Anyone who throws away lives for someone who doesn’t give a crap about you is just trash and should burn.”
Center snapped her fingers and the man was set on fire. He stood up and started running screaming for his life until finally he dropped and burned to death. Black and Nezumi stared at Center surprised at the sudden appearance but also a little relieved. If it weren’t for Center Nezumi would be dead. Black walked over and was going to thank her but then Center turned around and barked at Black. She was almost set on fire as well if Nezumi hadn’t pulled her back.
“Oi what’s your problem?” Nezumi said.
“It’s nothing… just leave me alone!”
Center vanished in a puff of flames leaving Black and Nezumi confused. They decided to leave it be for now and instead leave this now empty town. They left the town and right as they exited the gate, the whole place caught fire. Black and Nezumi knew it was probably Center who did it and just kept walking. They set up a camp and rested after such a long night. Black checked to see if Nezumi had any injuries but she was fine and was now sleeping. Black walked over and was about to place a blanket over her but then Nezumi grabbed Black and pulled her down. Nezumi wrapped her arms around Black and held her close as she cuddled in her chest. Black blushed but also thought Nezumi looked a little cute holding on to her. Black stroked Nezumi’s hair and kissed her forehead before falling asleep.
(Meanwhile at Yuko’s house….)
Yuko was sitting at the table eating with Rena and the two were talking about normal things when suddenly there was a knock at the door. Yuko opened it and as soon as it was opened something hit her and she was knocked out. Then the figure stepped in and found Rena eating waiting for Yuko. The figure pulled out a dagger and aimed it right at Rena however she decided to play around a little before killing her. The figure cut Yuko’s face and left a little blood on the floor. Then she grabbed Yuko and left a note. She walked out of the house without Rena even noticing until it was too late. When she saw the blood and the note, something in Rena snapped and she started to lose herself.
“Yuko-san!”
Rena ran outside and started looking tearing apart the fields and grass looking for her precious Yuko-san. However she had no luck and was still searching for every possible place. Then she saw something that made Rena’s heart just stop. There on the ground was a huge puddle of blood and next to it was Yuko’s scarf that she always wore. The worst thoughts possible flooded Rena’s mind as she fell to her knees staring at the bloody scarf. Images of Yuko’s dead body flooded her mind as she suddenly felt a heavy feeling in her chest pull her down. Then finally something snapped inside her and her whole world crumbled. There was a loud crack followed by a twisted giggling. She then took off to a town where she started killing anyone in her way. People screamed and tried to run but she would catch them and kill them in the most horrible way possible. As chaos unfolded the figure who took Yuko smiled in the background and then turned to Yuko who was staring at her with furious eyes. The figure took off the mouth gag and smiled.
“Long time no see Yuko.”
“Shibuya why are you doing this?”
“I wanted to have some fun since I’m constantly being watched over by the others. Things have gotten really boring ever since you left the palace.”
“I left for my own reasons but you don’t have one to do this to Gekikara. Let me go to her and end this mass killing spree.”
“Sorry no can do. I had orders to keep you back and let Gekikara destroy this town and all the people in it.”
“You’re horrible!”
“Yeah whatever and when you wake up everyone will be dead.”
“Shibuya don’t you da-“
Before Yuko could say anything else she was knocked out and this time Shibuya hid her somewhere where she couldn’t be found. Then she looked back at Gekikara who was tearing the head off a man and smiled. Then she ran off to look for a certain friend.
(Over at the Palace…)
“Torigoya have you seen Shibuya anywhere?” Sado asked.
“No I haven’t and I haven’t seen Center either.”
“I’m here.”
Center walked in with a ticked off look on her face.
“Where were you?” Torigoya asked.
“None of your business.”
Center stormed off leaving Sado and Torigoya alone. Something was wrong but they didn’t have the time to deal with it. All they cared about was finding Shibuya because whenever she went out she always caused trouble. It was then suddenly a mark on Haruna’s hand stared to glow.
“What is that?” Sado asked.
“It’s a seal I placed on Gekikara. It’s supposed to glow when it’s close to breaking.”
The seal then broke and vanished on Haruna’s hand. The two looked at each other with dark looks and then suddenly Shibuya walked in.
“Hey there guys what’s up?”
“Shibuya where have you been?”
“Around…Oh I saw Yuko today! She says hi and oh you won’t have to worry about Gekikara anymore. I took care of her.”
“What do you mean?”
“I set her on a killing spree and then sent one of your killers after her.”
“Who?”
“Black and Nezumi.”
Sado grew angry as she walked over to Shibuya and punched her right in the face.
“You idiot! Do you know what you have done?! We have to stop them. Torigoya you deal with Shibuya. I want you to do a level four punishment. I have to go handle Gekikara before it’s too late.”
With that Sado left in a rush hoping to get to Gekikara before Black and Nezumi did. Meanwhile Center heard the whole thing and was now following Sado quietly. She was curious to see who this Gekikara person was and why Sado was so worried about her.
(Over with Black and Nezumi…)
It was dark and Black couldn’t see anything. There was a small crying in the background but Black couldn’t tell where it was coming from. She looked around and didn’t see anything but darkness. Then suddenly she saw a bright light coming from the end of a tunnel. Black followed the tunnel and found herself in a beautiful garden. There in the garden there was a little girl crying over by the cherry blossom tree. Black was about to walk over to her but then someone else did. There was another small girl about the same size and age as the little girl. However there was one thing about the girl that gave chills in Black’s body. The girl had two small horns that were sticking out of her head. The sight of the horns made Black’s mind fill with fear. She remembered the fire and her parent’s death. All because of the girl with horns. The girl with horns walked over to the little girl and said,
“Nee Yuki don’t cry I’m sure she didn’t mean the things she said.” the girl said.
The girl shook her head and kept crying.
“Jurina get over here and apologize now!”
“Fine!”
Another girl walked over and also had horns in her head. The name Jurina sounded familiar to her but she didn’t know who that was. However she looked a lot like Center and was almost like a spitting image.
“Jurina you meanie you made Yuki cry. Do that thing you do to make her stop crying.”
“Ok fine.”
The one called Jurina stepped back and then held her hands in the air. Then suddenly two fire balls formed and when she shot them into the air they formed a woman and a man. It was then Black knew that Jurina was Center but in a younger form. Jurina moved her hands suddenly the people started to dance in the air. Yuki saw this and she stopped crying but was still sad. Jurina changed the fire into a joker and made it do funny things. Yuki laughed and the girl with horns smiled and said,
“Now Jurina apologize.”
“Hai. I’m sorry for making you cry.” she said.
“It’s ok Jurina.”
“Good! Then how about we all go inside and have some snacks?”
“Ok!”
Black watched the three stood up and walk into the palace but Black still didn’t know the girl with the horns. She didn’t know who she was or what her name was. She followed them inside where she saw her mother and father. Seeing them made Black cry a little realizing how much she missed them. The three kids were given a bowl of mocchi to eat on and they sat in the grass eating. Jurina and Yuki started fighting with the mocchi while the girl with horns sat there and laughed. Then suddenly Jurina threw a ball of mocchi and it hit the girl in the head.
“Hey Jurina watch your aim!” she said.
“Ah gomen Yuki dodged and I couldn’t stop.” Jurina said.
“Mou that‘s no way to treat your sister.”
Hearing the word sister made Black’s interest peak. Center had never spoken of a sister let alone anything about her past. The things Black was seeing now must have been memories from her past and somehow Center knew her back then. She still did not know who Center’s sister was though but it looked like she was about to find out.
“Mou Jurina you’re horrible!”
“Haha gomen Re-“
Everything was cut off and Black woke up to the shouting of Mayu.
“Black wake up!”
“What?!”
Black was a little irritated that she wasn’t going to be able to find out who Center’s sister was but she could always ask her. She tried focusing on Nezumi who was saying something but she couldn’t really understand because she was still tired. However there was one thing that she heard that caught her attention and wanted Nezumi to repeat it.
“I said Shibuya came over and said we’re going after some weird monster girl. She’s on a killing spree and we need to stop her. They call her a monster because she has some kind of horns.”
The description of the girl made Black think that it was the girl from her past. She had to get to that town and find out who the girl was. If she can find her then she maybe finally able to avenge her parents death.
