Authors recap:
Kimiko thought that Kid had died right in front of her but turns out he had just took the heart monitor off. When Kimiko began asking questions she discovered that Kid had lost all memory about her. Kimiko and Kid spent the day regaining Kids memories by re acting them. Kimiko reminded Kid of everything except for how she tried to kill him. Everything seems to have gone back to normal except for a strange visit from Ashura.
And that's where I left you off :)
************************************************************************
I tried to process what had just happened. Was Ashura actually right behind me? Or was I just going mad again. I could still feel the pain in my arm from where he had dug his nails into me. This was no dream, this was no illusion. What was going on? Why did this happen? I drifted off to sleep with a mind full of questions and fear. Maybe that was exactly what he wanted. Maybe he was just talking to me like he usually does and I imagined the pain. I was in that awkward state of sleep where you know that you are sleeping. But the way you are sleeping so lightly you are aware of your surroundings but you cant move your body no matter how hard you try. It was terrifying.
I knew exactly what I was dealing with now. It was this weird state I went into sometimes when I would try sleeping with alot on my mind. Ashura would use my foggy thoughts to his advantage. He taunts me and tortures me. I was back in the room. The room with the black and red checkered floor and the rose red walls. Something was different now. Not all the picture frames on the wall were empty. Some of the pictures looked like me when I was much younger. I was being held by who I was guessing to be my parents. It really pissed me off that the faces were cut out of that perfectly good picture.
" Why hello Kimiko." Ashura said from a dark corner in the back of the room. he walked towards me wit an extended open hand. I jumped back in surprise. I had no clue he was here but, I some what expected it. " Oh, hey sup." I said casually trying to hide the fact that I hated seeing him. He seriously scared me and just generally pissed me off. " Oh don't sound so relaxed Kimiko. I know you're scared, I know you don't like me. You're so mean to me." Ashura said with his eyebrows raised and a small smirk on his face.
"So what do you want with me. I'm only like this, here... in this room... because you needed me right? So c'mon what do you want." I asked with my arms crossed in front of my chest and I turned my back to him. "Oh I didn't bring you here." He put his hand on my shoulder. How dis he get by hind me so fast? I didn't even hear his footsteps. I quickly jumped back and pulled away from him. "Then why am I here?!" I shouted at him. He was really testing my patients.
"Well I thought you came here to see Kid didn't you?" My eyes went wide. "But Kid isn't here now is he." I put my hands in fists on my hips and raised n eyebrow at him. " Well actually he's been right behind you this entire time." Ashura pointed a finger at me. I whipped around to see Kid standing there behind me with his head down and his hands in fists. " Oh my gosh Kid what are you doing here?! How did you get in here?! Kid you have to get out now! You'll be consumed by the madness if you don't leave soon!" I actually felt like I was about to burst into tears. I didn't want Kid to have to go through the same thing as me. "I remembered everything Kimiko." He said calmly not lifting his head to look at me.
"I know we spent the day together all day getting your memories back." I said with a trembling voice and I gently grabbed his wrist to reassure him. "No you dumb bitch. I remembered EVERYTHING.... YOU'RE A KILLER KIMIKO!" He snatched his wrist from me and punched me square in the chest. Kid had knocked the air right out of me. I flew backwards and landed on my back. I was couching and clenching my chest where Kid had punched me. I wish I could just get a minute to catch my breath and explain to Kid what had actually happened and why. By the time I could actually talk again Kid was charging at me with his fist raised up in the air behind him.
