==================================================================================
Chapter 5
Jurina bed ridden and couldn't move around for the longest time. Because she was in such a weak state, everyone was on high guard incased the blue bloods came back for another attack. Meanwhile Rena had become Jurina's personal nurse getting her whatever she needed and helping her when she needed it. Today Rena had just gotten back from the market with some fresh apples she was going to feed Jurina. She walked inside and saw Jurina sitting there reading a book. When she saw Rena she looked up and that was when Rena saw Jurina's glasses. Rena didn't know that Jurina had glasses but thought she looked quite stunning in them. Jurina took off her glasses and then asked Rena to come sit with her. Pulling up a chair Rena made her way over to Jurina and then pulled out one of the apples she bought. Then she pulled out a small knife and started to peel the skin off.
"So how was your trip to the market?" Jurina asked.
"It was good however you didn't have to send Yuki with me. She was quite popular with many of the men in the town so they were mobbing us wherever we went." Rena said.
"Ah I forgot how Yuki was when it comes to men. Some of them admire her for her beauty but most of them for her body. Men are really disgusting sometimes."
"Tell me about it. Today there was a strange man who was getting a little to close to me."
"Who?! Tell me the name and I'll have Mayu execute him!"
"Relax mistress it's ok. I got away safely and everything is fine."
"Oh.. Good! I don't want any creepy guys touching MY Rena-chan.."
Rena noticed Jurina with a pout on her face and she couldn't help but giggle a little. It was obvious that Jurina was very possessive of her things and seeing her like this was actually kind of cute to Rena. Finishing the peeling, Rena sliced a piece off and fed it to Jurina who ate it happily knowing that it was Rena feeding her. For some reason Jurina has developed a habit where she won't eat unless Rena feeds it to her. The others started to think that Rena was babying Jurina but it was towards her recovery then they showed no complaints. Because of Jurina's condition everyone is busy doing all the work Jurina usually does. Rena knew Atsuko was probably caught up with paperwork in her room so Rena decided to bring in some apples for her as well.
"I'm going to check on Atsuko. I'll be right back."
"Ok come back soon~"
Rena left the room and walked down to Atsuko's room where she was sitting at her desk under a pile of papers. There she was writing away and organizing papers getting everything done. In the middle of her calamity Rena slide a small plate of apples slices onto Atsuko's desk and then quickly slipped out. She didn't want to disturb her so she shut the door quietly and then walked into the hall. Rena noticed there were some extra apples so she thought she would bring some to everyone. She stopped into Tomochin's room who was sleeping soundly so Rena left the apple sitting on her pillow and then left. Then she made her way to Yuki's room who wasn't there at the time so she left the apple sitting on the desk and then left. The last stop was Mayu's room that was down in the dungeon so Rena walked down to the stairs to the dungeon. The cells were awfully quite and for a while Rena thought that there was no one there. However when she looked inside she saw that the prisoners all had their mouths stitched shut. They couldn't cry even if they wanted to because their voices have been silenced.
As she walked by each cell Rena saw each prisoner had something horrible done to them. There was one who was missing their eyes and another who was missing their ears. One was missing their nose there was one who's lips were missing. Some of them had nails in different areas of their body while others were missing limbs. There was even something as horrible as two live people sewed together back to back. Seeing these people made Rena wonder what exactly Mayu did to these people. What caused her to be so twisted to do these things to people. Fearing what Mayu could do to her if she ticked her off sent chills down her spine. Rena opened the door and saw Mayu sitting on her bed polishing what looked like a skull. When she saw Rena she smiled and told her to come in.
Rena started to walk but suddenly she tripped over something causing her to fall. However something caught her midway and helped her back up. She turned to thank whoever helped her and was surprised to see nothing but an arm sticking out of the wall. Rena lightly shook the hand and then the arm went back inside. Mayu simply giggled and apologized for what had just happened. Rena gave Mayu the apple who thanked her and before Rena left she turned to Mayu and asked,
"Nee Mayu back when we were battling.. you brought back those blue bloods from the dead.. How is that possible?"
"Well it's my special ability." Mayu said.
"Special ability?"
"There are certain black bloods who are born with special abilities so to speak. Anyone with these abilities are brought here where they serve mistress."
"So you power is bringing the dead back to life?"
"Yes. The body moves but the person is gone. The only thing that's left is an empty shell and my power takes the shell and fills it with a temporary soul that does whatever I command."
Rena felt a little sad because she was hoping that maybe Mayu would be able to bring her grandmother back to life but it wouldn't even be worth it.
"So what is everyone else's powers?" Rena asked.
"Well Yuki's is she can blend into darkness and become a shadow herself. She can move very fast in that form and when she becomes one with your shadow you're done for. Mine is bringing the dead back to life and to be honest it's really fun. Tomochin's is her ability to manipulate the earth around her. She can touch anything and turn it into any weapon she chooses and when I say anything I mean ANYTHING. Depending on the size of the object determines how big and powerful the weapon is. Atsuko's ability is to be able to heal wounds at an incredibly fast rate. She isn't able to heal them all the way but she can heal them to an extent where it isn't as serious. She can also attack your organs internally if she touches you. With just one touch your all your organs could explode all in the inside."
"Wow.. the why can't Atsuko heal mistress's injury?"
"Well she said something about how her power isn't enough to heal a wound as serious as mistress's.
"Wow.. Then what's mistress's ability?"
"Eto.. she doesn't like us talking about it so you'll find out someday."
"Eh? Ok.. Then can you explain what's going on with Haruna? I heard Sayaka mentioned something about her and I know she's here because she was my cellmate for a while."
"Ah the blue blood! Well you see Haruna is actually the lover of the leader of the blue bloods."
"And why do we have her?"
"Well I was planning on doing some experimentation with her because I've been working on a way to turn blue bloods to black bloods. I'm getting really close but I still haven't found the solution. In the meantime she'll remain here under my care while I try to find the solution. I've gotten to where they change for a short second but then they reject the blood and they die. Therefore I'm waiting until I know I have the exact solution! Then I'll release her back to the blue bloods and also my experiment that will turn all the blue bloods into black bloods. As soon as they turn they will serve us and once and for all we will end this war."
"So who exactly are the blue bloods? Who are the ones who have the abilities?"
"Well you already met Sayaka with her big ass mallets. The woman is already strong but when she uses her ability she becomes super strong and can cause a lot of damage. Along side her is an ikemen named Sae who is known for hitting on the ladies a lot. Sae has the ability to move really fast like a ball of light and she's the only one I know who can actually keep up with Yuki. There is also a midget named Minami who has the ability similar to Atsuko's. She can manipulate her own blood so that when it enters your body she can completely shred your organs or make you move your body against your own will. Then there's Mariko who's known for shape shifting and also seeing the future. She can see what will happen in the future and because of that the blue bloods always know when we're going to attack. Then last but not least the leader is Yuko and her ability is-"
"Mariko can shape shift as well?"
"Yes I just said that were you not listening?"
Rena thought back to the time when she met the little girl in the shop. She remembered how she had showed her that vision in the future where the kingdom was under attack. She remembered how the girl was gone as soon as the attack started and Rena started to wonder if the little girl was actually Mariko in disguise. Rena thanked Mayu for the information and then went back into Jurina's room. She found Jurina was sound asleep so she thought it was time to feed Jurina once again. Rena rolled up her sleeve and cut the same spot as she did before and bled into the cup. Then she held the glass to Jurina and titled it forward letting the warm liquid slide into Jurina's mouth. Naturally Jurina drank it until it was all gone leaving no trace behind. Rena washed the cup and then bandaged herself up as well. Once that was done Rena left Jurina so she could sleep and then she went down to the dungeon to talk to Haruna about the blue bloods.
When she went down she found Haruna staring at the wall clawing at it. Rena could see the scratch marks on the wall and it looked like she had been doing that a long time. Rena pulled out an apple and handed it to Haruna who gladly took it and ate it. When she finished Rena asked,
"Nee do you know why you're here?"
"No I don't." she said.
"Well I'm not supposed to tell but I can tell you it's not going to be nice."
"I just want to go back to Yuko. I miss her so much and I hate it here!"
Haruna started to cry so Rena pulled out a small handkerchief for her to use. Haruna wiped away her tears and Rena did her best to help her calm down. Haruna kept looking at something but she wasn't sure what it was. She looked over and there sitting in the dim light was what Rena thought was a man. His eyes were missing though and his legs were attached to where his ears should be. His arms were attached to his chest and the scary part was the man was alive and could still limbs. He didn't even have a voice for all he could do was make a raspy noise revealing that his tongue had been cut out and all his teeth were gone. Haruna must have feared that she would end up as something as horrid as him one day. Rena would also be afraid if she was confronted with something like this and therefore understood Haruna's fear. All she could do was hold her close and try to calm her down. Once Haruna was calm Rena looked at her and said,
"I'll make sure nothing like that happens to you."
"Really?" Haruna said while shaking with fear.
"Yes I'll make sure nothing bad happens. Just give me some time and I'll have you home in no time."
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Rena had to leave before Mayu came and found her so she quickly left and went back to Jurina's room. Jurina was now awake and had a slightly irritated look when she saw Rena walk in. Before Jurina could say anything Rena quickly ran over and hugged her tightly. She kissed Jurina's hair and then said,
"Gomen mistress I was giving apples to the others and lost track of time."
Jurina immediately calmed down and enjoyed the warm embrace of Rena. The two held for a long time and then Rena finally let go feeling that Jurina was feeling better. She sat down next to Jurina and then told her what Mayu had told her about the abilities. Jurina nodded her head in agreement and then said that she was not going to tell Rena her ability for she wanted it to be a surprise. With a pout on her face and puppy dog eyes Rena did her best to try to get Jurina to tell. Sadly it had no effect and Jurina just simply patted her head and told her that she would find out eventually one day. In the meantime Jurina wanted Rena to read another story to her so Rena ran down to the library and picked a random book from the shelf. When Jurina saw it she smiled and said that Rena had chosen a good one. Together the two cuddle on the small bed and Rena began to read.
"Once upon a time there were two sisters who lived with a loving family in a small house in the middle of the forest. They were a very happy family living together happily with love and warmth. However one day the family was attacked by a powerful demon and the mother and father were killed. The sisters were separated where the youngest was taken by the demon while the oldest was forced to stay behind. Years went by and the two siblings grew into strong young women. The oldest was taken in by a kind leader who raised her as her own and trained her to become a very skilled warrior. One day while scouting the woods for food the oldest came across a camp that had been recked. Searching for survivors there was one lone girl who survived but was badly injured. It was then the oldest realized that the girl was her sister the one who she thought she had lost a long time ago.
"Nee-chan!"
The oldest ran to the youngest and held her tightly so glad to see her sister again. However shewasn't the same cheerful self that she used to be. She wasn't laughing or smiling let alone showing any signs of happiness. Instead the youngest looked at her sister and said,
"I want blood."
With a creepy giggle and a crooked smile, the youngest was no longer the sister that oldest knew. Suddenly the demon appeared and said,
"Foolish human. This little one has become my underling and now kills whoever I command her to. She enjoys the screams of people as they are being stabbed to death and tortures them until they are pleading for death. She feels no emotions and only seeks the death of others. She is my perfect creation."
"Release my sister demon! She doesn't belong to you!"
"But she does. See?"
The demon moved the youngest's shirt up revealing a brand mark with a skull on her shoulder. This showed proof that the youngest was property of the demon. There was nothing the oldest could do but her heart was screaming for her sister. She was so close to her that she was willing to do anything to be with her. Without even hesitating the oldest said to the demon,
"Take my soul and make me yours! I don't care what you do but as long as I'm with my sister you can take whatever you want."
The demon grinned and said,
"Very well human.. From now on you are also mine."
The demon took the oldest's soul and soon she became like the youngest. Together the two killed anything in their way to satisfy the demon doing everything he commanded with no question. They lived their lives killing people one by one not even caring who they killed. Whether it was men, women, or children, the two just kept on killing. Then one day the demon was killed by a very powerful woman. The woman said that the sisters could come and serve for her where she promised them love and affection. The sisters agreed and went with the woman back to a large palace. There the woman would see the girls everyday and treat them as if they were her own daughters. Together the sisters grew and then on the day they found out the woman was pregnant. A daughter was born and on that day the woman had the sisters swear their loyalty to her daughter. She made them vow that they would always protect her daughter if anything were to ever happen to her.
"Mama?"
Sadly the woman was killed in battle leaving her little daughter all alone in the world. The daughter cried and cried as she sat next to her mother's grave. The sisters knew they had to keep their promise with the woman so together the sisters raised the daughter to become a powerful leader just like her mother. Now the daughter rules her own kingdom with the sisters at her side ready to fight for her."
"What a sad story.." Rena said.
"Un it is but don't you like the ending? I mean the sisters are together now." Jurina said.
"Yeah but still.. that poor daughter must have been all alone when her mother died."
"I bet she was... Nee Rena when I get better and can walk again I wanna take you somewhere special ok?"
"Ok.."
"Good then cheer up! It's just a story anyways."
"Hai.."
For the rest of the night Rena was quiet until it was time to sleep. Before going to bed Rena slipped Jurina another cup of blood and this time Rena was starting to feel the affects of so much blood loss. She couldn't walk straight at all and then suddenly she started to collapse right there in the middle of the hall. However something came out and caught her before she could hit the ground. Looking up Rena saw the somewhat worried face of Yuki who asked,
"Are you alright?"
"Un just a little tired."
"Let me help you to bed."
Yuki picked Rena up and carried her to her room where she was placed into the bed and tucked in. Rena said goodnight and then Yuki left the room leaving Rena alone to sleep. Before falling asleep Rena thought she saw something on Yuki that she had never seen before. She thought she saw something on her left shoulder that looked like a scar or something. Rena didn't think about it too much though because soon after the weak girl fell asleep. As Rena was falling asleep Yuki was walking in the hallway on her way to her bed when she stopped to look at herself in the mirror. She wore a blank expression on her face and then noticed that her shirt was revealing some of her body. Yuki grabbed the fabric and was about to pull but instead pushed it back a little. She revealed a nasty scar from a wound that was inflicted a long time ago. However the memory was burned deep into her mind and would never be erased. The wound had healed since then but you could still make out what it originally was. There on Yuki's shoulder was a scar that was originally a skull.
