Recap:
Kimiko and Ayame had just got passed Medusa and found Maka and Crona fighting up ahead. Maka was in the madness but somehow got free and became friends with Crona. When Kimiko and Ayame moved on Kimiko blacked out and talked to Ashura who put a memory in her head of Kimiko violently killing her friends and destroying the town.
And that's where I left you off :-)
I slowly stepped back from Ashura in disbelief. "I couldn't have done that... I would never...I can't be working with Medusa." The words seemed to get stuck in my throat and my hands began to sweat. My face felt hot and I got that dizzy feeling again. I walked back over to the couch and plopped down on it. My eyes stared off into space somewhere as Ashura began to speak again. "Oh but you did Kimiko. Can't you see it clearly now? That is what you are and always will be whether you like it or not. You will always be a witch that nobody can love. Nobody loves you Kimiko, When will you realize that I'm the only one that loves you?"
I looked up at him trying to look angry but my eyes were already filled with tears and they began to pour down my face. I ran to Ashura and hugged him tightly. I couldn't believe what I was doing. I don't trust this guy one bit but at the time I felt that I just needed someone to care for me, anybody. " You're wrong." I said in between gasps. " What's that?" Ashura asked. "You're wrong!" I said louder now. " I have tons of friends and each one of them loves me and I love them! How could I forget them? They may not say it everyday but I know they do! They care or me and would do anything for me!" I wiped away my tears now and pushed Ashura away from me with anger rushing through my body.
"Oh really? I guess you will have to learn the hard way you stubborn little child. Alright, GO get out." Ashura with a wave of his hand brought me back into reality with Ayame by my side. "nghnnnn." I groaned. "Kimiko! Oh my Death I thought you were a goner! What happened where'd you go?" Ayame stood up and pulled me up with her. " I just got a little dizzy and blacked out but I'm okay now." I said with a smile on my face and gave Ayame a thumbs up. "Oh I'm so glad." She said with a sigh of relief. " Kid and Black Star should be up ahead right?" I asked in a more serious tone now."Yeah let's get going." Ayame said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me along and barely gave me enough time to grab my weapon.
We came on a room that was completely destroyed. Pillars were on opposite sides of the room and broken in half. Tiles were completely missing along with bricks from the walls. Large piles of broken stone lined the room only leaving about a 10 foot wide path to walk through. Black Star and Kid appeared out of nowhere fighting the immortal known as Free. Black Star was flying through the air attacking Free hitting him left and right and his attacks appeared to have no effect on him. Kid was kneeling on the ground with his face in his hands going on about how un-symmetrical the room was. I walked over to Kid slowly while Black Star was fighting in the background. "Kid don't worry it will be okay." I said comfortingly as I patted Kids back. "Yeah Kid the faster we get out of this room the better!" Ayame chimed. Kid slowly looked up to me with glossy eyes. "OH MY SYMMETRICAL BEAUTY!" Kid shouted and tackled me to the ground.
Kid was hugging me tightly around my chest pinning my arms down to my sides and swaying me from side to side. I just Put on a fake smile and sweat dropped at Kid. "Okay okay get off." I pushed Kid off of me with a smile and I was somewhat laughing because I was so happy to see him and know he was okay. Suddenly Kid just stopped. "Okay I see what's going on now." Kid said in an unamused tone. Kid began to walk towards Free and Black Star. He's just a projection from somewhere else" Kid began to walk closer to Free. " Wh-what are you doing? I'll rip you to shreds!" Free said in a harsh raspy tone. "No you won't, you can't." Kid said and preceded to walk straight through Free like a ghost.
