rlm@2: Itara Hanasanai no ni rlm@2: rlm@2: Chapter 2 rlm@2: By: Shidarezakura rlm@2: rlm@2: Yuina, Akiho, and Seraph had gone to Yuina's bedroom. They had to find out why Seraph was here rlm@2: and how would they hide her. Seraph looked around Yuina's room, noticing every detail. Books rlm@2: lined up, plushies, neat bed... it was so weird. As Seraph turned, Yuina noticed that one of rlm@2: her wings was torn up. rlm@2: "Ah! You're hurt!" Yuina starts to frantically think of what to do. rlm@2: Seraph looks at her wing. rlm@2: "Hm? Oh, don't worry. It will fix itself..." light flashed around rlm@2: the wound. Small balls float to it and the wing begins to heal. rlm@2: "Wow!!!" Yuina's eyes become rlm@2: large. rlm@2: Akiho watches them still. Reading each expression they make and hearing their echoing rlm@2: voices in her mind. Replaying over and over. She didn't understand what she was feeling, but she rlm@2: knew she felt hurt. As if somebody plugged up her lungs, everything is tight. What is Seraph? rlm@2: Why is she here...? She's making this whole thing difficult. And she has Yuina's attention... I rlm@2: don't exist... rlm@2: "Yuina-chan... I'm gonna go home... I'm not feeling so well..." Akiho says to rlm@2: Yuina. "I'll call you when I feel better..." rlm@2: "Eh? Aki-chan!" Yuina starts walking behind Akiho rlm@2: as she begins to leave the house. "Are you okay?" rlm@2: "Yeah... I'm just a little sick to the rlm@2: stomach..." Akiho slips her feet into her shoes and opens the door. "Bye..." She leaves. rlm@2: rlm@2: "...Akiho..." Yuina stares at the door, hoping Akiho would come back in. rlm@2: Seraph floats behind rlm@2: Yuina and wraps her arms around her waist. Yuina jumps a bit, not knowing she was there. rlm@2: rlm@2: "Seraph...?" rlm@2: Seraph smiles and kisses Yuina's neck. Yuina begins to blush. What's Seraph rlm@2: doing? Seraph smirks and whispers in Yuina's ear. rlm@2: "Yuina... I can hear every thought in your rlm@2: mind..." rlm@2: "What?! But how?!" rlm@2: "I forced you onto a contract... and when I kissed you... I rlm@2: became one with you..." rlm@2: "What?!" rlm@2: "We are unified... bonded together... I am you and you are rlm@2: me..." rlm@2: "Seraph! What's going on!!!" Yuina pushed out of Seraph's arms and turned, facing her. rlm@2: "Why are you doing this! What are your plans?!" rlm@2: "Plans?" Seraph smiles, "I have no definet rlm@2: plans... But I'm afraid I am on a mission. My world was distroyed by a powerful emulator, like rlm@2: myself. Somehow in the war against it all, I came in contact with her and battled. But I was rlm@2: out numbered. They left me for dead and I drifted in space until I was brought here. It's rlm@2: destiny... all of it. The emulator has to be here." rlm@2: "Destiny..." Yuina looks down. "But... rlm@2: why the contract with me?" rlm@2: "Because, when I awoke to your warm lips... I could feel your soul rlm@2: crying out. You want to be free, Yuina." rlm@2: "..." rlm@2: rlm@2: * * * rlm@2: rlm@2: Akiho walked slowly down the street. Staring at the ground, thinking of what had happened. The rlm@2: wind had stopped blowing and the sun was beginning to hide behind the large buildings. She rlm@2: didn't think of time or what was going on around her. rlm@2: Yuina doesn't notice me now that Seraph rlm@2: has entered her life. I was just there to keep her company when she was bored with other things. rlm@2: Now she's bored with me. Brushed me off like I never existed. How could she do that? I've known rlm@2: her for so long and suddenly Seraph comes in and screws everything up! Damn you Yuina... You're rlm@2: a traitor! How can you just throw me away like that!!! rlm@2: Akiho turns the corner. She held her rlm@2: breath, hoping nobody would see her cry. Angry and upset at how Yuina treated her. It was wrong. rlm@2: rlm@2: rlm@2: "I hate you Yuina..." she says and keeps walking, the stars in the sky move. rlm@2: Akiho walks rlm@2: toward a dark alley. Her mind clouded and unaware of the environment around her. Tokyo at night rlm@2: was dangerous. She heard some footsteps and looked up. rlm@2: "Hey bitch!!! Come here!!" a rlm@2: dark-skinned man, weighing about 270 pounds, wearing jeans and a black shirt, dark hair and rlm@2: sunglasses, appears from the alley and reaches out at Akiho. rlm@2: "Ahhhhhh!!!!!" Akiho begins to rlm@2: turn. rlm@2: "Yaa!!" the man dashes forward and grabs her arm and jerks her back. rlm@2: "Ahhhh!! Let me rlm@2: go!!! Help!!!!!!" she screamed and tried kicking him and hitting him. rlm@2: "Shut da' hell up!!" he rlm@2: throws her into the wall and she falls over. He walks over to her and grabs her by the hair. rlm@2: She tries to gather her balance but he covers her mouth with his hand and picks her up. rlm@2: rlm@2: "Mmmm!!!! Mmmph!!!" she tried screaming. rlm@2: The man pulls her into the alley, way into the back. rlm@2: Small puddles on the ground from pipes draining. Trash and paper everywhere. He walks behind a rlm@2: staircase and throws her down. A flash of lightning lights up the sky. rlm@2: "Mmmm... I love young rlm@2: girls..." he said and grabbed her arms. rlm@2: "AHHHH!!!! NO! PLEASE!!!" Akiho screams as thunder rlm@2: rattles. Her voice seeming silent to the weather. rlm@2: The man grabs the top of Akiho's uniform and rlm@2: rips it downward, revealing her bra. She screams more and rain begins to pour down. The drops rlm@2: hitting them hard. rlm@2: "LEAVE ME ALONE!!! HELP!!!! SOMEBODY!!!" Akiho screams, tears beginning to rlm@2: fall down her soft cheeks. rlm@2: "Shut up!!!" he backhands her in the jaw. She accidentally bites rlm@2: the inside of her cheek and blood trickles down the side of her mouth. "If you make any more rlm@2: noise! I'll fuckin' kill you!!! Do you got that?!?!?!" rlm@2: Akiho nods and cries silently. Was she rlm@2: afraid to die? No, she wanted to live. Live with Yuina and the world. rlm@2: "Good... hehehehe..." rlm@2: the man rips her bra off and grabs her breasts and squeezes them. "Mmmm... oh yes..." rlm@2: The rlm@2: world seem to be taking forever. Why wouldn't it end. Akiho didn't even want to look at the rlm@2: man. She was scared and helpless. The thunder roared on as the rain hit against their bodies. rlm@2: A heart beats... rlm@2: "Aki-chaaaaaan! Let's play!" a girl says. rlm@2: "But... it's raining..." Akiho says back. Her hair rlm@2: in pigtails. rlm@2: "That's okay! We can hide under our umbrellas and jump in the puddles!" rlm@2: Echoing inside the soul... rlm@2: "Aki-chan! Come on! Let's sing!" rlm@2: "I can't..." rlm@2: "Don't say you can't! Try it!!" rlm@2: Trapped by false emotions... rlm@2: "YUINAAAAAAA!!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!" rlm@2:
