Chapter 7
"Let's go!"
Gekikara charged at Minami with full speed and tried to punch her. Minami moved out of the way and Gekikara zoomed past. She was about to attack again but Minami pulled out her sword and tried to cut Gekikara. She managed to make a small cut on her leg but Gekikara wasn't going to be stopped by it. She jumped up and slammed down onto Minami where she managed to pin her down. Minami put up her arms to guard while Gekikara raised her hand and started to punch Minami with all her force. Minami admitted that Gekikara was strong. Her punches were hard and powerful with enough force to put a dent in a car. However what Minami noticed was that Gekikara was only punching her arms and legs. Was she holding back? Maybe Rena was still in there fighting Gekikara. Minami didn't know for sure and there was only one way to test. Minami moved and got out of the hold and then she swung left and hit Gekikara's left arm hard.
Gekikara giggled and grabbed Minami's leg and threw her across. Then she walked over and then dragged Minami over to the edge of the barrier. She took her head and slammed it into the edge. Minami was jolted with volts of electricity that surged throughout her body. Gekikara held her there for a long time until Minami finally broke free and turned things around. Minami slammed Gekikara's back into the barrier jolting her. Then Minami stepped back and watch Gekikara fall to her knees. Minami thougt it was all over but sadly it was nowhere near over. Gekikara shot out and punched Minami hard in the stomach. The force was greater than the others and she was sent flying back.
"Hahaha this is fun!"
Gekikara stepped up and kicked Minami up and then swung her around far until she hit the ground. Minami tried to get back up but Gekikara moved her way over and grabbed Minami's sword. When Minami tried to get it back, Gekikara stomped her foot into Minami's arm crushing it. Minami screamed in pain and Gekikara walked away.
"Ohh this is pretty!"
Gekikara started playing with it as Minami struggled to get back up. When she was able to stand on her feet, Minami charged at Gekikara and tried to get her sword back. However Gekikara moved and actually cut Minami's arm. Every time Minami charged Gekikara simply dodged and attacked. After ten minutes of the nonstop slashing, Minami was covered in all kinds of cuts. She was weakly standing barely supporting herself and then Gekikara walked over. All she had to do was tap her forehead and Minami went down. Too weak to move, Gekikara was ready to finish Minami off with her own sword. Then suddenly something in Gekikara snapped and she dropped the sword and pulled back. She clutched her head and got onto the ground rolling and screaming in pain. Minami sat up and watched the strange event. However she saw Atsuko just outside the barrier. She got up and ran over quickly to check on her.
"Atsuko!"
There was no response. Atsuko just laid there knocked out.
"Atsuko!!"
Suddenly Atsuko opened her eyes and saw Minami. When she saw the condition she was in, she almost started crying. She ran over and tried to get to Minami but the barrier shocked her. Minami told Atsuko to wait and then with all her strength, she pushed through the barrier and managed to grab Atsuko and then pull her in. The two hugged happy to see each other but their short reunion was interrupted when they heard a loud scream. They looked over and saw Gekikara screaming and rolling on the ground. Over with Gekikara, something was going on in her head.
"Gekikara what are you doing?! This is not what I wanted you to do!" Rena said.
"Shut up! I'm trying to help you!" Gekikara said.
"No Gekikara what you're doing is wrong!"
"This is what you wanted right? You wanted to get stronger."
"Yes but not like this. Gekikara stop it now before you seriously hurt someone!"
"I'm not gonna hurt someone I'm gonna kill someone!"
Gekikara pushed Rena back and then came back out into the real world. She got up now madder than ever. When she saw Atsuko, she started running towards her but then Minami got in the way and pushed Gekikara back with the butt of her sword. Then she ran around and cut her back and another slash on her stomach. Gekikara fell down weak and ready to finish off.
"Minami go!" Atsuko shouted.
Minami took her sword and slashed Gekikara with one big swing and then started making several smaller cuts at an incredible speed sometimes cutting other wounds. She kept moving and when she finally stopped, Gekikara went down and didn't move. Minami smiled and ran over to Atsuko happy thinking she had won. However they were horribly wrong when Gekikara started giggling and stood up. Covered in her own blood, she smiled at Minami and they both knew something was different. Gekikara cracked her neck and then dashed towards Minami. She was too fast and Minami couldn't block in time. She was pushed down into the ground and dragged across. Then Gekikara threw Minami into the air and watched her fly. When she was coming down, Minami saw Gekikara getting ready for a powerful attack and knew it was going to be bad if she didn't move. Minami balanced herself and then when she was going to hit, she managed to move just barely but she got a bad burn on her side.
Minami managed to land but stumbled and saw smoke coming from the area she was hit. She looked over at Gekikara and saw what had caused the burn mark. One of Gekikara's hands was on fire. There was a red flame on the right and on the left was something like black lightening. Minami didn't know what the other one was and didn't want to find out. She had to be careful if she didn't want to end up dead. The two stepped back and watched each others moves waiting for the right time to strike. Then suddenly Minami attacked first with a low blow to the stomach and then a quick one to the chest. Gekikara was going to strike but Minami backed away and slashed Gekikara in the shoulder. She was going to attack again but Gekikara punched Minami in the face but luckily it was with the fire punch.
There was a large burn mark on her cheek but it was alright. Minami ran was ready to attack but suddenly she took a hard punch to the face and then the chest. As she was going down she got another punch to her stomach and sides. Gekikara was holding her head with the left hand and Atsuko watched as the lightening from her hand went inside her body. When she let go, Minami sat there staring blankly at the sky. Atsuko didn't know what was going on but something told her it wasn't good. Suddenly Atsuko felt a heavy feeling in her heart. Her vision started to warp and everything went dark. When she opened her eyes, she saw Minami staring at something. Atsuko looked over and couldn't believe what she was seeing. There standing in front of Minami was Minami only there was something different. The other Minami was dirty and barely clothed. She was skinny to the bone and and flies hovered her. She was practically dead if she didn't breathe every once in a while.
Atsuko and Minami both watched as a hooded figure walked over to Minami. They leaned down and whispered something to her and watched Minami say yes. The figure smiled and after that everything went dark again. There was a scream and Minami was on the ground crying in pain. Atsuko ran over and tried to help but she wasn't getting through to her. Minami punched and kicked and then suddenly she stopped. When she saw Atsuko, fear appeared in her eyes and she pulled out her sword.
"M-Minami what are you doing?!"
"I don't want to die!"
Minami swung her sword but Atsuko backed away. She swung again and this time Minami cut Atsuko's arm. Before she could say anything, Minami pushed her down and then thruster her sword into her body. Atsuko felt her heart stop and everything start to fade. Then suddenly Atsuko opened her eyes and saw Minami standing over her with her sword pointed at Atsuko's chest. She looked over at Gekikara and saw her giggling as she watched Minami trying to kill Atsuko. Atsuko moved and ran over to Gekikara.
"Let Minami go!" she said.
"Sorry no can do~ the madness has gotten to her now." Gekikara said.
Minami ran around swinging her sword at things that weren't there. She was looking for something but every time she looked there was nothing there. Little did Atsuko know, Minami was actually seeing all kinds of monsters and demons that reminded her of her past. Monsters she hated or feared and made her heart twist in anger. Sometimes the monsters would change when they died and show she killed someone close. The one that made her snap was the one that turned into Atsuko. When she saw Atsuko die she thought she saw the real Atsuko. Minami went insane and held her sword up to her neck. She was going to stab through but then she felt something wrap around her.
"Minami snap out of it!" Atsuko said.
"I killed her I killed her! I have to die!"
"Minami stop!"
Atsuko pushed the sword out of her hands and held her close.
"Minami wake up.. Please..."
"Get away from me get away!"
Atsuko held onto Minami tightly making sure she wouldn't move. As she held her, Gekikara picked up the sword and prepared to stab it through the both of them and end it all. Then suddenly a voice called out and she stopped.
"Rena!"
Gekikara looked over and saw Jurina standing there. She dropped the sword and then walked over to Jurina. She stared at her with darkness in her eyes and a spark of anger in her body.
"Rena what are you doing?"
"Rena isn't here. I'm Gekikara." Gekikara said.
"Gekikara?"
"I'm Rena's other half."
"What?"
"Pffft stupid kid."
"Hey who are you-"
Before Jurina could finish, Gekikara grabbed her and pulled her down into the ground.
"Listen up you little brat. Because of all the bullshit you out Rena through, I was created. You told her to get stronger so every night she would sneak out and train in the most horrible ways you could imagine. She even drank animal blood! She did all this to get stronger to keep her "precious master" happy. It made me sick and on that day you disowned her, she lost it so I took over. Now I'm doing something better for her and getting rid of you. You're a terrible master! Nothing but a spoiled brat! You're the one who's useless for not being there for Rena! Instead of scolding her and beating her why don't you comfort her and encourage?!"
Jurina was silent and only held her head down.
"You did none of these things and now you've made her a mess. I'm finally stepping up and doing what I should have done a long time ago."
Gekikara took her left hand and placed it on Jurina's head. The black lightening entered inside her and Jurina saw everything. All of Rena's struggles she endured to grow stronger and try to please her. Tears ran down her face as she saw it all and her heart grew heavy with the weight of guilt. Gekikara let go and then walked over to Minami and Atsuko. She raised the sword ready to stab the two when suddenly Jurina stood up and said,
"Gekikara!"
Gekikara turned around and stared at Jurina.
"I'm sorry..."
"Haha sorry don't cut it kid."
"Then how about this!"
Jurina tore her shirt open exposing the mark on her chest that bounded her and Rena. She wiped some blood from her mouth and drew a line down the middle of it. The mark glowed and suddenly Gekikara stepped back and something happened. Slowly, something started to come out of her back until it was completely out. There on the ground was Rena only she was asleep. Jurina ran over and held Rena close to her. She was whispering apologies to her and saying things she wouldn't do.
"I'm so sorry Rena... I'm so sorry..."
When Gekikara came to and saw them, she quickly got up and started to get close to her. However suddenly she felt something sharp penetrate through her back. She looked over and saw Minami holding onto the sword and Atsuko holding onto her. Gekikara managed to pull herself out and and weakly walk over to Jurina and Rena.
"L-let go of h-her.." she said.
"No I won't! She's my puppet and I'm going to be a good master from now on." Jurina said.
"Liar! You'll just treat her like crap just like last time."
"I won't!"
Suddenly Rena started to move and woke up.
"Rena! Rena everything is going to be ok now. I promise I'll change and things will get better."
"J-Jurina?"
Rena looked over and saw Gekikara laying there.
"Gekikara!"
Rena crawled over and held Gekikara. Tears were rolling down her cheeks as she held her.
"Hey Rena... Glad to see you in the real world.."
"Gekikara why did you do this? Why!"
"For you..."
"Baka!"
"I'm sorry Rena. I was only doing so you could be happy."
"I was happy. I was happy with Jurina by my side and you in my heart. Why would you think such things!"
"I'm sorry... But hey at least now you'll be able to live a better life now."
"Gekikara you baka! Don't leave me!"
"I'm sorry."
Gekikara's eyes started to close but then suddenly Jurina stood up and said,
"I think it's time for me to take the blame for the things I've blamed others for..."
She took blood from Gekikara and Minami and placed it on her mark. She whispered something and suddenly, all the injuries on the both of them vanished. Then all the injuries appeared on Jurina. Every cut burn mark and bruise all came onto Jurina and when it was finally over, Jurina fell to the ground.
"Jurina!"
"Here take it!"
Gekikara took a heart shard of her own and threw it to Minami. Then she went back and focused onto Jurina. Rena was crying as Jurina bled out on the floor. Gekikara placed her hand on Rena's shoulder and said,
"She'll be alright. Let's go to the hospital while we still have time."
"Un."
"It's been nice knowing you Minami. We'll have to battle again sometime~"
With that, Gekikara went back into Rena and everyone went to the hospital. Jurina was in critical condition for a while but made it out ok. She was now resting comfortably with Rena by her side. Meanwhile Atsuko and Minami were resting at home cuddling together on the couch. Atsuko was stroking Minami's hair when suddenly she asked,
"Nee Minami... Who was that hooded figure in your vision? What was that whole thing?"
"It's nothing." Minami said.
"Tell me."
"Just forget it."
Minami got up and walked to the bedroom. Atsuko was curious about it but decided to leave it. Besides she was tired after such a long day and a long battle.
