A life beyond insanity (Kaiman x reader)

13. And the winner is...

Through the TV I could watch Kaiman fight this guy.

A little was I worried, seeing him starting to wobble again? I hope he can hold on till I find Nikaido. For the lizard man, it should have been an easy task to beat up his enemy, since magic won't work on him. The fact that he is still feeling sick and dizzy only made it harder for him to focus. His opponent noticed the barrier of his magic, once he made the first hit at Kaiman's stomach, "It takes no effect?!"

Oh it did, but not the way he thinks.

Kaiman got even sicker, hoping to get the muzzle off before he pukes. The guy didn't seem to notice, hitting him several times into the same area. For Kaiman was this torture. At the screen I noticed how pale he became, "Oh no...not now Kaiman." I had to hurry up, asking the other boxers for help. Someone must have a clue of where the beaten competitors are going. One who has been at this fight several time, just pointed at a metal door in the back, "I don't know if it helps, but I guess they get dragged into this room."

"Dragged?" I guess a few only see that place in an unconscious state.

Looking back to the screen, Kaiman started a tactic I never seen before. Whenever the guy took a hit, he lowered his head, so he received it into his face, "What are you up to Kaiman?" His actions were worrying, getting back to the metal door. With a few tricks I leaned in the world of sorcerers, I could open the door with ease. However, it had one problem, it was broken afterwards. Unable to close it behind me, I went down the corridor, whispering her name.

"Nikaido..."

"Nikaidooo..."

I jumped at the voice, "Woah, who is there?!" It stayed silent.

Let's try again, "Nikaido..."

"...Nikaidooo..."

"Will you shut the hell up?! You are not helping!" Just then I noticed the weird creature handing from the ceiling. The magic in this place must be intense, to create such ghosts. With long black hair and a pale face, it frowned at me.

"You got a problem with me?"

Instead of an answer, it disappeared, "At least it could have helped me...geez."

At the end of the corridor lies another door, which looks different to the others. All the other ones are just plain white, while this one is red with some king of animal skin covering the front. It sure was disgusting to look at. The thing that came out of it was far viler. A large man covered in clothes that was stitched together with human skin was something to puke about. However, a part of the skin on his body, his face was missing, like someone ripped it off.

"What are you doing here?"

I backed off, "What am I doing here? Good question...I don't really know myself."

"You didn't lose" he stated simply.

"I didn't fight."

My answer was not helping me, as a whole lot of smoke was heading in my direction. I froze on the spot, fearing that this is the need for me, until an arm pulled my body into one of the rooms with the plain white doors. The smoke wasn't able to reach me inside, while the man kept banging on the door. Looking back to the one that saved me, I was glad to see a familiar face, "Nikaido!"

"What the hell are you doing here?!"

"First of all, thank you for saving me, second, we came here to save your ass and third...well never mind the third part. We have to get you out of here."

She raised a brow, while staring at my outfit, "You seriously wanted to fight?"

"I had no choice; Kaiman didn't have enough money to bet."

"Kaiman is here too?!"

I nodded, "Yup, he is fighting right now."

Nikaido had to think for a minute, "We can't leave this room, if we do, we will lodes our skin."

"Ewww, so they skin he wore was real?"

"It is his magic. All the ones that lose the fight lose their skin and he sells them on the other side." With that she means the world of sorcerers. Some of those sorcerers are sure sick, I thought.

"I never thought I had to use it again..." with wide eyes, I watched her biting her finger, till a small amount of smoke came up.

"You are a sorcerer?!"

Nikaido nodded, "I am, but don't tell Kaiman I used it again." With the bit of smoke, she opened her own kind of door, helping us get back to the main room where the fight was. Nikaido stayed behind the crowd of men, while she pushed me to the front, "We can't be seen together, go up there and cheer on Kaiman."

Like I had a choice, I pushed through the competitors and watched the lizard guy. His face looked awful, completely covered in blood and still, he gave his opponent the chance to make it worse. Kaiman didn't look well, as I yelled out to him, "What the hell are you doing?! Hit him!!!" His opponent seems to be a puzzled as I am, that the lizard guy came over to me, "N/A...please take off that muzzle."

Reaching out to his face, he flinched at the touch.

With that thing off his mouth, he turned around quickly and gave the guy one hell of a hit, that made him see stars. I should have been proud, but why didn't he do that before? Kaiman smiled for a minute at his opponent, "...man, what load of..."

The next, he had the last bit of beer out of his body.

We all felt sorry of for his opponent, seeing him so humiliated on the ground. The two men with no face dragged me and Kaiman out the door.

Although he won, we didn't get the main prize.

For one, I took off the muzzle and two; he was drunk; that disqualified him as a fighter. At least there was a positive side to it: we got Nikaido back, with skin and all.
