recap!
Death the Kid and Ayame fought off the evil lizard monsters and got a hint as to where Kimiko may be. They found an on house to stay in for the night and Kid found a note from Ashura telling him to give up. Kid brushed it off and went to bed when he had a nightmare. He woke up and is on his way the next morning to save Kimiko but can't shake off a strange connection of his soul wavelength he has with Ayame.
*Kimikos POV*
(She is still in the madness and under control of Ashura. In this POV she will be speaking from the madness part of her brain but her thoughts and feelings are all normal)
I pulled slightly at the metal cuff Ashura has kept around my neck as he holds onto the chain as if I were a dog on a leash. I was forced to change clothes now and I was wearing something they forced onto me. My shirt was black with long sleeves that had intentional rips up them and it was skin tight and showed my stomach a bit to where my belly button was exposed. my pants were also black but were very baggy. They were basically cargo pants with all the pockets and zippers. The pants were stitched together with a blood red thread. And then I was wearing simple black combat boots that went just above my ankle.
Ashura had my hair up in a pony tail and my bangs still slightly covered my face. Ashura made me sit next to him in his 'throne' where that other witch once sat. I didn't do much but lay on the floor and sleep ( Again like an animal ) or he had me training. I had finally given up on trying to free myself from the madness. The harder I tried the more I could feel the chains around my soul tightening.
"Kimiko, what are you thinking about dear?" Ashura asked with a smug grin wiped across his face. "How I'm going to kill them daddy!" I chimed happily. "ew!" I thought to myself. "Why did I just call him 'daddy'?" I scoffed at the thought of me actually saying that. I was getting tired of listening to the shit my body was saying in the madness to him. I called him daddy, master, senpai, and I always respected him and replied happily. All I really wanted to do was punch him in the face.
"Oh? Now who are you going to kill?" Ashura asked almost laughing as the word 'kill' slid from his lips. "I'm going to kill them all. Every one of them." I said with a big smile on my face. My eyes once a crimson red now were black. No more white was in my eyes, just black holes and my skin seemed to be either going more grey or white I couldn't quite tell. And then I began to list off people. " Maka, Soul, Ayame, Tsubaki, Black Star, Liz, Crona, and Patty." I said as I stared at the door that was about 50ft away from where we were sitting. I watched that door alot as if I knew that any second that everyone was going to come bursting through. "What about Kid?" Ashura asked while twirling his finger at me and he closed his eyes and raised his eye brows. "Don't worry! I have something special planned for him!" I said jumping up from the ground and clapping my hands together. Ashura laughed slightly and patted my head and ruffled my hair slightly. "Alright, as long as he is dead I will be proud of you. Now, are you ready to train?" He asked slowly standing up from his chair and stretching out his back. " Can't wait!" I said as Ashura unclasped the chain from the cuff around my neck.
Ashura stood in the center of the room and waved a hand at me to come closer to him and I did so cheerfully. I stood in front of him and took my fighting stance and focused my energy to my hands causing a flaming red ball of energy float in each hand. Ashura took his stance also and said quick and sharp. "BEGIN!"
* Kids POV*
We just started our journey towards where the lizard said Kimiko was being held. I knew exactly where it was and how to get there but it strangely seemed like we were wandering aimlessly through the thick green forest. I looked back at everyone else who was either still half asleep or munching on a snack bar Maka had brought along.
