Chapter 22

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mimiteh

I woke up in a daze, whatever that akuma did to me was wearing off slowly. The first thing I saw was the floor, it was a tile floor and when I sat up I realized my wrists and ankles were bound. I looked around and saw Kanda tied to the wall and Ko'lae in a cage a few feet away.

"Are you alright Mimiteh?" Ko'lae asked me.

"Yeah, are you?" I replied. I had started to attempt to get free of the binds and saw two people sitting nearby. It was the people that were watching me during that fight and that were in my dream.

"I'm fine, but I don't think Daisya is." Ko'lae replied, pointing her nose in the direction of the wall. I looked in that direction and saw Daisya beaten near death and struggling to breath. His hands were nailed to the walls and it looked like he had lost a lot of blood.

"Daisya." I whispered. I didn't expect an answer, but the fact that he didn't answer set my instincts in motion. I fought against my binds and tried untie the binds on my wrists. Kanda started to stir and looked around when he woke up. He saw me then saw Daisya and struggled with his binds as well.

"Daisya wake up!" He yelled. Daisya barely moved and I looked at the Kanda.

"Kanda it's pointless! He's lost too much blood to do anything but sit there and fight for his life!" I yelled at him. I was so close to freeing myself when Kanda looked at me.

"Mimiteh!" He yelled. I stopped fighting my binds and looked up. I felt a blade at the back of my neck and tensed.

"Mugen." I said quietly. Kanda started to struggle harder and panic started to fill my mind.

"Mimiteh. Mimiteh! Relax. Remember the curse, your soul must be destroyed for you to die. The witch's curse." Ko'lae said. As she said it I felt a strange, calming feeling rush over me. I looked at my mother's bracelet and saw the jewels glowing slightly.

"Your name is Mimiteh?" The man asked. I looked at him like he was an idiot and stared.

"Well. If that's so, you're my target." He smiled. He held his hand out and a butterfly identical to the ones I had seen earlier appeared.

"Can I play with her first Tyki?" The person behind me asked. The person that was holding Mugen to my neck was the girl.

"I don't have to kill her right away, so I guess you can play with her Road." He sighed. The butterfly disappeared and Kanda struggled even harder.

"Kanda relax. It won't hurt me." I reassured. I was lying but he didn't know that. He looked at me and I took a deep breath, I didn't know if I would make it out of this alive, but I had this feeling that everything would be alright. Mugen pressed against my neck and I felt a small drop of blood start to run down the back of my neck. I let my instincts control my body and shifted my position. I felt the sword scrape my neck and something brush against my face. I rolled away from the girl, Road, and untied the rope around my ankles.

After standing up I looked at Road. She was wearing what looked like a school uniform without the jacket, had golden eyes, gray skin, black hair in a punk style, and the stigmata on her forehead. My shoulder was starting to ache and I still hadn't fully recovered from that sleeping stuff they used on me. I ran at her and kicked at Mugen's handle. I hit her hand instead and Mugen flew a few feet away, skidding across the ground. Road grabbed my foot and pulled me to the ground.

My head hit the floor next Mugen and my ears started ringing. I reached for Mugen and managed to fry the rope around my wrists enough to break it. I stood up and held my head, pain echoing through my body.
