Chapter 16
"They got Rena!"
When Black and Nezumi heard that they knew trouble was coming and they were going to have to act fast. Center was panicking while Nezumi was trying to calm down and Black was trying to think of a plan. After a while she finally decided to go find Yuko and see if she could get anymore information. She knew just barging into the palace was crazy so she needed a better plan to get around all of it.
"Let's go find Yuko."
Center lead them to the place where she saw Yuko being attacked and there she was out cold on the ground. She wasn't waking up with simple pokes and shouts so they decided to take her and stay in a nearby town. They laid Yuko on the bed and told Center to look after her while Nezumi said she was going to leave for a while and get into contact with some old friends. The battle was going to be rough and them alone wouldn't be enough to take on the whole palace. Nezumi left so it was just Black now and she decided to go out into the town and look for anything that could be useful to the battle. While she was out, she didn't notice the masked figure following her.
"I can't believe they got Rena..."
Black was thinking to herself as she was roaming the town searching for supplies and materials. She bought some medical supplies and a little food but nothing more. As she was walking though she felt something behind her. When she turned around though there was nothing there. Black started to wonder if there was someone following her but every time she looked there was no one there. The markets were full of places and people moving about and Black was just one of many. As she made her way through the crowds she stumbled upon some kind of side show event. There was a traveling circus act doing all kinds of tricks and stunts. The crowd cheered as the man in a strange costume flipped through the air and landed on a thin piece of bamboo. Black was impressed as well and continued to watch the show seeing how nostalgic it was. It reminded her of her family when she went to see the shows with her parents. As she was watching it, suddenly a stage performer stood forward and said,
"For our next trick, we will need a volunteer! Anyone wish to step up?"
Many hands raised and many shouts called but none of them were picked. Instead the man walked straight to Black and said,
"Would you kindly step forward miss?"
Black had no choice so she walked into the crowd and the people cheered. The man looked at her and said,
"I see you have a fine sword. Care to prove how well you can use it?"
The man clapped his hands and some other performers brought out some poles. On top of each pole was a fruit and the man said,
"If you can hit all these fruits without touching the ground then you will receive a fabulous reward."
Black nodded her head and then looked at her targets. She pulled out her sword and with one quick movement the fruits were cut down and the crowd cheered more.
"Well done! Now let's see how you handle this."
The man snapped his fingers and five armed men came out. They aimed their swords at Black and prepared to attack. The crowd grew wild as they all thought it was part of an act. However Black saw this as a trap and knew this was no game.
"Let us see how great of a warrior you seem to be."
After he said that the men moved in and tried to cut Black. She dodged it and attacked back with a slash to the arm. As one retreated the others came out and tried to attack all at once. Seeing this was coming Black jumped up and landed on one of the poles. The others followed and soon after it became a midair battle. The four others jumped and were going to slam down on her but Black moved and one of them sliced the pole in half. Black took this chance and slashed one of the men's legs and then another one's back. They fell down and now there were two left. Black decided to finish it off with one big swing so as the two men were going to attack, Black ducked and kicked the two together. Then she swung her sword and impaled both of their legs. The crowd was going crazy demanding more but Black didn't want to stay. She quickly ran into the crowd and got as far away as she could. When she was far enough, Black went back to the hotel they were staying at and found Yuko had awaken.
"How are you feeling?" Black asked.
"A little dizzy but good." Yuko said.
"You should rest then."
"No it's fine. We need to get Rena back before Torigoya breaks the seal."
Yuko tried to stand up but fell down. Luckily Center was there to catch her and help her back up. Center placed Yuko back on the bed and then said,
"What will they do in order to break the seal?"
"They'll torture her mentally..." Yuko said.
"How so?"
"They'll make her remember her past. The past I sealed away and if she remembers the emotional stress will break the seal and release the anger and hate I originally locked up."
"Do you mind telling me about our past? All I remember was Rena being my sister and Sado taking care of me but everything before was a blank."
The room was quiet as Yuko wasn't sure if it was safe to tell Center. If she was going to have the same reaction as Rena then they didn't want to risk it. However Yuko did want to tell her because she knew that if she could control one and get her to fight with them then they may be able to control Rena as well. Yuko thought long and hard and then finally said,
"Alright I'll tell you..."
To be sure they would be safe though, Yuko tied Center to a chair in the middle of a barrier that would contain her if she snapped. Then she sat down and told about the Matsui sister's past.
"As you know, you two were once royalty. Your mother and father were very powerful people and won many great battles. However they were both cruel and power hungry. Every time get grew angry or agitated they would take it out on you and your sister. However what they didn't know is that you two have a special "gift" so call it that they didn't know you possessed. You and Rena have the Akuma curse which gives you the powers of demons thus leading to the horns on your head. Jurina you took on a fire demon and Rena took on a blood demon. Both of you were extremely powerful but you didn't know how to unlock your powers. However one day your father had gone too far and said that he was going to kill you and your sister saying you were both worthless. The mother agreed and you two were going to be thrown into a river. At that moment Rena snapped and awakened her powers and soon after you did as well. The two of you killed your parents and destroyed your home. The only reason why I know is because I was there that day."
Black looked at Center and saw she was twitching a little but seemed fine.
"Soon after Yuki's family adopted you and your sister and the threw of you grew very close. However what worried me was that they didn't know of your powers. When I went to warn Yuki's father he told me everything was going to be fine but soon after I heard that you and Rena both attacked an army and I saw the horrible leftovers of the massacre. After that the father sent me a note saying he was going to get rid of you two. I knew this wasn't going to be good so I quickly rushed down there to see if I could stop him however I was too late..."
Black remembers the things she saw through Rena and started to cry a little.
"By the time I got back the palace was on fire. Sado and I ran into the palace and managed to save you two. From there I decided that the two of you together were too dangerous so I sealed away Rena's powers and Sado sealed yours. Now however Torigoya wants to remove the seals and I can't let her do that because she will use your powers to win battles and treat you like animals."
Black could see Center start to shake and grit her teeth. Yuko was about to get up and activate the barrier but instead Center let out a shout and managed to hold it in. She looked at Yuko and said,
"Remove my seal..."
Yuko stared at Center with an "are you crazy" look and immediately said no. However Center managed to convince Yuko after and hour of debating. Yuko decided that she would remove the seal and then go after Rena. She thinks that if she has Jurina at full power and Rena isn't yet then they may be able to win. They decided they would do it tomorrow and for now they would rest. They said their goodnights and then turned in for sleep. However Black couldn't sleep peacefully for there were many things on her mind. She was afraid that if the seal broke then Center will lash out and set everything on fire. She also feared Rena turning and killing everyone. All this fear made Black's mind race but then it all stopped when she heard a strange noise coming from outside the door. Black grabbed her sword and hid it under blankets and waited. Soon after the door slowly opened and she heard people come inside.
Black waited for the right moment and then quickly kicked the attacker in the stomach and then jumped out and pointed her sword right at the person's neck.
"Hey Black what are you doing?!"
Black soon realized the voice belonged to Nezumi and when Center lit some candles the room lit up and there was Nezumi on the ground looking at Black. Black put her sword away and then said,
"What are you doing trying to get yourself killed?"
"No I was trying to say I was back and I brought some friends."
The door opened and in came some very familiar faces. There was Atsuko, Minami, Gakura, Choukoku, and Shaku. Even Daruma was outside staring through the window. All the people Black helped were here with her now. Black looked at Nezumi with an amazed look and asked,
"How?"
"They all said they wanted to help so they came down here with me."
"It's been a while Black." Choukoku said.
"Hidashiburi!" Atsuko said.
Black couldn't believe all these people were here but she was really happy and hugged Nezumi tightly. Everyone stared and then Shaku said,
"Neechan the rat is stealing your girl!"
Gakuran quickly covered Shaku's mouth.
"What did you say about me?" Nezumi said in an angry tone.
"Ah nothing nothing! You know kids these days saying crazy things. Shaku how about you go play with Acchan?" Gakuran nervously said.
"You better how she's just saying things... Otherwise I'll use your body as a meat puppet..."
There was a dark aura coming from Nezumi as she was ready to pull out her threads. Black saw this and quickly pulled in Nezumi for another hug and started to stroke her hair. She thought it was cute how Nezumi was so protective of her and liked the fact that Nezumi cared. Yuko and Center introduced themselves to everyone and then Yuko said,
"Well everyone let's call it a night! We have a big day tomorrow."
"Hai!!" everyone shouted.
That night Black fell asleep knowing she was having backup.
(Over at the palace...)
In a dark room with wet floors and cold air, Rena was there chained to a wall. She didn't know what going on but all she was worried about was Yuko. She was scared and confused and didn't know what to do. The door opened and Torigoya walked in with an evil smile on her face. She knelt down to Rena's level and pulled out a picture. She held it in front of Rena and said,
"Do you know who these people are?"
"No I don't." Rena weakly said.
"Well the baby is your little sister Jurina and the two adults are your mother and your father."
"Impossible! Yuko told me I didn't have any siblings and my parents died in a fire!"
"She lies~ Yuko told you lies only to keep you under control. She was a afraid of you."
"No Yuko loves me!"
"You're nothing but a pet to her! You're worthless to her and that's why you're here because she abandoned you thinking you had nothing to offer her."
"Shut you you're lying!"
"Remember Gekikara! Remember your parents? The ones who called you worthless and were going to kill you? Remember how they were going to kill you and your sister?"
"Shut up! I'm not Gekikara I'm Rena!"
"No Rena is your pet name! You are Gekikara! The blood crazed monster that kills people for fun!"
"SHUT UP!!!"
Rena's head started pounding and her breathing quickened. Her body started to shake as she started whispering things to herself. To the side Torigoya was laughing thinking she was going to break her in no time and then left. This was just the beginning to Rena's endless mind torture.
