Third Person

Illumi stood in the doorway of the living room staring blankly at the dead body before him. Absolutely nothing was going through his mind. Nothing except relief and shock. He stared at the practically unidentifiable body. Takei's skin was shredded on his face, clearly having been caused by someone's fingernails. His once empty sockets where his eyes were supposed to be had needles lodged in them. Blood covered his entire face and most of his body due to multiple injuries.

Seeing a dead body never moved Illumi in any way but this was something else. He could help feeling relieved that this threat was finally out of his and Mia's lives. He could finally live his life with her the way he wanted without worrying about someone being in the way. He also reminded himself of the contract he had made with Mia's father. Once he killed Takeo he would be given permission to marry Mia. That's all he ever wanted.

There was also a sense of shock. It came hand-in-hand with the relief as he couldn't believe that he had killed Takeo. He couldn't believe that things were finally going well for him. He couldn't believe that he could finally be happy. For once.

As for Mamoru, he went to go check on his family. The first person he rushed to was his wife. She still was laying on the kitchen floor when he first found her. Fortunately, she was still alive but just asleep. After Mamoru brought her to their bedroom and set her to lay on top of a more comfortable surface then the cold kitchen floor he went to go check up on the baby. Picking her up in her arms. He held her in his arms for a little while just feeling so grateful.

When he finally brought himself to go back downstairs, he realized how quiet the house had become. With slow steps, he entered the kitchen and peered through the hole in the wall. The hole that he made when he was thrown into the other room but Takeo. Nothing could be seen through the small hole which began to make Mamoru worry. Where were Illumi and Takeo?

It was only when Mamoru entered the living room that he saw Illumi crouching in front of Takeo's limp body on the floor. Illumi was poking at Takeo's face with his finger before peering over his shoulder and locking eyes with Mamoru, "He's dead," he confirmed before standing up and walking towards the kitchen. He no longer was blocking Mamoru's view of Takeo.

Mamoru cringed at the sight. The bloody body was practically in pieces. Numerous needles were embedded into him all over his body. His skin was raw and red all over his face and arms and lastly, his limbs lay unnaturally bent beside him.

Mamoru slowly dragged his gaze away from the body and towards Illumi who brushed past him into the kitchen. He then remembered to tell him about Mia and the feeling he got when he was fighting. "Illumi, there's something you should know. When I was fighting Takeo I suddenly lost track of-"

"I know, I felt it too," Illumi quickly cut him off. He stood by the kitchen sink and calmly washed his bloody hands under the running tap water. He seemed all too calm as he said those daunting words. "I thought she was in here of course so that's why I came," He explained as he dried off his hands.

"W-We need to go see her right away," Mamoru stuttered. How had Illumi picked up Mia's aura? It was so weak that he could barely keep track of it himself.

"Well, then I guess you should bring me to her," Illumi said stoically though there was an evident amount of sarcasm in his voice. He watched Mamoru with a blank stare. Something about the look made Mamoru realize that Illumi was worried for Mia and he was trying to hide it.

"Follow me," He simply stated. He too was worried for Mia, his sister.

The time it took to reach the specific part of the forest where Mia was hiding was quiet. The two ran with everything they had in them. The eerie feeling in the air followed them even after having killed Takeo. The feeling that something was very wrong was still there. Both individuals knew that something really bad had happened.

And they were right.
