Two different worlds: An Ayushiki Fanfiction

Chapter 9: Appeasing

Ayumi

Miki looked at me, then at the bags in my hand in confusion.

" How could those help us get out? And save Onii-chan?"

" If we give these to the ghost children, they become nice enough for them to help us. If they're on our side, it's much easier to get Yoshiki back."

Miki nods, impressed. " Cool! So we give the head to the girl who cut your hair, and the other thing..."

" The tongue."

" Ew, and the tongue to the little boy... Right?"

I nod. Miki lights up.

" Well let's go! I wanna save Onii-chan!"

"No, No! I can't let them appease Tokiko and Ryou. I need them on my side!"

Yuki stared down at the girls from where she floated, unnoticed. Her teeth bared in a snarl. She had to get those bags from them. If they appeased Tokiko and Ryou, it would be that much easier to appease her.

" No... I want to stay in power!"

Using her malevolent power, she conjured up a rainy windstorm that made the girls run for cover. She smiled. As soon as she couldn't see them, she summoned Yoshiki. He looked obediently at her with his blank eyes.

" What is it, little sis?" He asked.

Yuki pointed in the direction where the girls ran.

" Go that way, and find those two girls. Take the two bags that they have, and hide them WELL. I can't have them finding them again. Go, now, before they reach Tokiko and Ryou."

He nodded, then went running. Yuki straightened a little. She trusted Yoshiki.

Those girls wouldn't have a chance.

" *pant* Onee-chan? Can we stop running now? I'm tired!"

Miki stopped, and put her hands on her knees. She looked at me with pleading eyes.

" Pleeeeeeeeeeeease?"

I shake my head. " No. Sorry Miki, I know you're tired, but we need to find Tokiko and Ryou."

Miki wails unhappily, but continues walking.

After what seems like hours, we come across Tokiko and Ryou, playing with a corpse. I yell " hey!" To get their attention. Ryou grins evilly at me.

" Ohoho! What do we have here? New victims?"

" Yeah yeah, cut the crap, kid." Miki groans, taking the bags from my hands. Ryou frowns in surprise at her disrespect.

" Here, catch!" She calls, and throws one bag to him. He opens it, and pulls out his tongue. Tokiko comes forward, and I hand the other bag to her.

" My head..."

"My tongue..."

Particles of white appear slowly, and embrace the kids in bright light. When it diminishes, Tokiko and Ryou looked like what they did before they died.

( okay, the pic at the start EXACTLY describes what happens next. Just pretend that other girl is Ayumi!)

They stared at themselves, mouths open in surprise. They felt their faces, their clothes, and even looked at each other.

" Thank you, big sisters." Tokiko says, hugging Miki around the waist. Ryou does the same with me. I'm about to ask them for advice about Yuki, when loud footsteps could be heard.
