Flaming Hearts ~From The Ashes I Rise ~Book3 {OLDER VERSION}

CH22 - In The Rain Of Nightmares - Part2

"Poor thing." Mitari commented confidently. "It doesn't seem like any of your friends are going to save you tonight. You were very foolish to move without them. I have been following you, waiting for the moment you go out alone. Something about you drew out my attention. Maybe your naivety. "

"What is that?" Okubo asked, looking at the giant water monster, baffled. "It can't be real!"

"Whatever it is, it's real enough to have our friend!" Miyamoto shouted angrily.

"I'm glad to know you're interested." Seaman continued on as I see him reached for the bandage that is placed on his index finger. He took it off to reveal a really small cut. "Let me show you how the monsters are made." He pressed it hard so the blood can come out and then fell into the water between his feet. As soon as those two got all mixed up, another water creature came to life and showed itself to us. Others gasped around me in shock and stare at the little monstrosity. "My blood mixed with water. The more blood, the bigger the beast. The more moisturized, the easier it spreads. That's why I'm Seaman, Master of the Floods."

"Listen, I've got brothers and sisters to take care of!" Okubo told him, already having enough of this and want nothing more than to get out of there. Knowing him though, he didn't do it earlier because he wanted to be for his friends. Darn it. If only I had my powers then they could escape from here.

"I know Okubo." Mitari replied smoothly making me mentally flinch. I mean I know how these people know about me and my other teammates, but how come he knows about Okubo and my gang? Did they spy on us this much? "But that honestly doesn't matter, they won't live pass a week anyway." He then turned to me with his eyes that looked rahter. . . off. . .  "Come on Kuwabara. I'd like to know your opinion. Which of my monsters do you like best? Little or big?" Then there was a small pause. "Because that's the one I'm going to kill you with!" At that I frown deeply.

"You're exactly like that Doc and that other one the Urameshis fought." I grunted as my eyes narrowed at Seaman's figure. "Self-righteous nuts who doesn't know any better." However, the kid did not like that for some reason.

"Don't you ever log me in with those people!" Mitari exclaimed becoming defensive. "I have reasons, good ones. . ." Then he clenched his fists and shut his eye tight looking. . . hurt. . . "All my life I had been mocked, bullied, humiliated by the very people who were like me. Humans. But for some reason, they targeted me and just tortured my emotions for fun while the rest just stood there and watched." His eyes then lowered down to his feet, his voice cracking up a little by the pain and suffering he had to endure for all these times. The words surprised me a little, because I didn't expected this coming from someone that is on the wrong side. But now however with this, I can understood his situation a little better while helping me sees something different. . . someone different. . . No wonder why I felt so off when I looked into his eyes. Because he wasn't all that evil. He was just hurt. . . a damaged soul who was misunderstood and confused. . . And manipulated. . . In some ways. . . those eyes of his. . . the heartbroken look on him kind of reminded me of someone I know. . . "I just wanted it all to stop. . . I want it to stop. . ." But Mitari's sadness soon got replaced with rage. "But it'll never will!!! That's what he showed me! It's human nature to lie and bully and hurt people!" The young teen in yellow-rain-coat pointed a finger at me and my friends with a look of disgust. "You're protecting the fallen race, that's why you must die!" This is just like what Yusuke told me about his conversation with that doctor freak. How these people hate humans so much, including themselves.
