Miracles in a Lifetime

CHAPTER 44 - Calling X For X Help

Ren's P.O.V.

My head pounded as I hit the ground rather roughly. My body skidded onto the rocky floor as I watch a blur of Ryoko running in inhuman speed with an unconscious Tenshi-sama on her shoulder. My eyes were too slow to catch up to their speed which infuriated me.

I get up with a painful grunt and looked at the direction the crazy woman left. Worry and anger built up within me and made my legs feel like jelly so I fell back onto the dirt. I pound the ground as hard as my small form can. The impact made the ground crack beneath me and the floor beneath to shake a bit.

Why the hell did I let go?!

I should've held on until Ryoko stopped so I can fight her!

Why am I so weak?!

I got up once again and made sure I wouldn't fall back down like a weakling. My eyes then trailed down the direction Ryoko went and flew over there with all my speed.

It was only a few minutes until I saw her once again but what I saw left me stuck in place with terror and anger mixing within me.

In front of me was Ryoko injuring Tenshi-sama but she just kept regenerating in a snap. What scared me is the brutal and horrific ways Ryoko tried to kill my master. I would go and try to stop her but I knew as a fact that Ryoko would defeat me the second we start to fight. I do not want to risk dying without being of any help to Tenshi-sama. I need to be logical about this....

That's it!!

I should go look for help!

I look around and my sharp eyes and nose found the direction of the person that first popped in my mind. I stretch a little then start to flap away but before I did, I look behind me to see Tenshi-sama being carried away again.

I sigh and curse under my breath.

"I'm so useless." I continue flying towards the location of the person's scent.

It was quite hard to get to him due to the other Nen users around him. I had to be careful but I had to be quick to be able to Tenshi-sama before it's too late.

My wings were getting tired and my heart kept thumping in my chest. I kept my ragged breath at a minimum yet steady so I can concentrate.

Finally reaching the person, I fall to the ground and the person just stares at me with utter confusion and shock.

"What are you doing here? Where's Tenshi?" He asked with his annoying voice. I wanted to say something rude but I needed to try being nice to him for now.

"Tenshi-sama..she..Ryoko.. taken.. away!" I said through huge intakes of breaths. The blonde bastard looks at me with a stern look at the mention of Tenshi-sama's name but as I said Ryoko's, his brows furrowed into confusion.

"Ryoko? Who's Ryoko? You mean that Class A criminal?" He asked which made me groan. I forgot that master didn't tell this bastard anything about her past.

"Tenshi-sama is the Black Angel. She is the adopted daughter of Ryoko, the Bloody Widow. Though, all Ryoko ever did was torture and train her until she was a killing machine. However, every time Ryoko tells her to kill someone, Tenshi-sama only kills the bad people." I explained and he just listened rather silently but I can see the rage and shock in his eyes.

"This woman did what to Tenshi?" He asked, trying to be calm. My eyes widen at the question. Most people would get terrified at the fact that Tenshi was under Ryoko's wing yet this boy got angry at how Ryoko tortured her. He must really care for her. But he should know that he's not the only one...

"Ryoko seems to like inflicting pain on others. She also finds joy in killing. Tenshi has an ability where she can regenerate so Ryoko kept her so she can torture her." The bastard gave off a deadly aura and his bangs were shadowing his eyes.

I inspected the blonde teen in front of me and gave a raised eyebrow until he looked straight at me with blazing scarlet eyes.

"Take me to her...NOW." he growled out and I just nod. Maybe this boy isn't as bad as I thought. He really cares about master like I do.

Kurapika's P.O.V.

Ren just came to me with some surprising news. Apparently, Tenshi got kidnapped by a crazy women who raised her poorly.

I felt rage and worry overcome me as I listened to Ren. Tenshi is strong but as Ren told me, Ryoko is the only one who can ignite fear in Tenshi due to past experiences with her. My blood boiled as I tried as hard as I can to keep my eyes from remaining scarlet for too long.

I told the reptile to take me to this Ryoko and he just nods as a reply. He flies while I run towards a direction.

I am grateful that I left a note before leaving because I know that Melody will be worried and boss will get quite angry if I left without telling them why. Though my job on being successful in taking my revenge on my kin, Tenshi is first. She is the person I love most and the only person that keeps me motivated to live longer besides completing my revenge.

"What is this?" I asked as I saw a huge crater in the ground. Ren frowned and gritted his teeth for a moment before giving out a loud and long sigh.

"It's the place where Ryoko tried to kill Tenshi. She threw her and the impact caused that huge crater. Ryoko then started to stab and cut Tenshi's limbs but they kept regenerating so Ryoko gave up and decided to wait for her awakening." I couldn't believe what I just heard. My hands balled up into a fist which made my palms white and blood started to trickle down my skin from my nails sinking into my palm.

"I will kill that woman." I muttered under my breath and let out a huge amount of blood lust until I heard an unfamiliar voice.

"What is this?...what are you doing here, Chain User Bastard?" I turn to see the source of the voice. My eyes widen in shock before quickly turning into a harsh glare.

My gaze pierced into the man before me as he does the same back. I remember him. This criminal. I want to kill him but I need to go and rescue Tenshi. Though, my rage couldn't be contained at this moment as I stared into the eyes of a cold-hearted killer.

"Phantom Troupe member." I hissed.
