TWS: abuse, fire, hypnosis, kidnap, crying, amnesia, guns, knives, coral cusses a couple times
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sayako was playing a crossover game.
Spin the bottle/truth or dare.
The bottle landed on her.
Yolei spun it.
"What was the scariest moment of your life?" She had asked.
When the TAHS took her and hurt her and she killed someone to escape.
She shrugged and said, "When I broke my arm when I was skating." She grinned.
Everyone laughed.
The door slammed open and a woman was holding sayako, a gun pressed to her head within seconds.
"Move a muscle," The woman holding the gun warned, "And Ms. kaneki dies."
No one moved.
"Let her go." Coral ordered, her voice strong and loud.
That was new.
The woman, who was tan and had dark brown hair, and was wearing a black-and-white dress with cream-colored heels, simply snickered.
Matt looked up at her. "Who the hell-"
He didn't get to finish his sentence, since Coral interrupted.
"Tekara, let her the fuck go."
'tekara' didn't do as told. Instead, she blew a kiss to no one in particular, and disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.
Everyone sat in disbelief for a moment, before Coral stood up shakily.
Almost everyone knew that when Coral cussed, it was for good reason.
"C-coral--" Joe started, but Coral cut him off.
"Shut up," She whispered. "SHUT UP!" She yelled that time, storming into the other room, where crashes and screams were heard.
She was either venting or trying to find something, or both.
Finally, Izzy got up and went to go check on her, and everyone else followed.
The room was a mess, but Coral held a necklace. The jewel was a vivid purple, and it glowed.
"Coral, what are--"
"Tai, when I tell people to SHUT UP, I MEAN IT." She said harshly, tears building up.
Her very best friend was... Gone.
She was taken again...
"I wish that she took me instead..." Coral whispered as tears began to steadily flow down her face.
Sorrin sat down next to her and hugged the young girl gently.
"She's okay... We'll find her..." He whispered soothingly and softly.
-------------------------------------
Sayako, however, was currently in a locked cell, laying on a stone-cold, rock-hard bed.
She'd already screamed and shouted and rattled the bars and called Tekara names that... Probably should not be repeated.
Finally, Tekara herself rattled on the bars and slipped a cup between the rusted, old and turning terribly terracotta.
Sayako walked over and picked up the cup.
"The fuck is this?" She asked, smelling it. It smelled sweet.
Tekara shrugged, "Drink it."
Sayako looked at it and sighed.
How could life get worse?
She chugged it.
It tasted even sweeter than it smelled.
Sayako smiled.
She felt nice...
The world was a bit brighter. Spinnier.
Man, Tekara was nice.... Especially for that... That sweet drink stuff...
Sayako laid down and fell asleep.
The next morning she barely remembered where she was.
And she kept drinking that sweet, sweet liquid every day.
------------------------------------------
Coral had dragged the others to come rescue Sayako.
Well.
Technically she said, "Stay behind. I'm going to find Sayako."
But then everyone else followed.
It was tricky, staying out of Guard's eyes, but they got to Sayako's cell.
Sorrin burned the locks, and Matt and Tai pulled the door open.
Sayako got out. She knew that freedom was good.
They took Sayako back home.
She was... off.
Loopy.
"Sayako?" Coral asked, holding her slipping best friend.
Sayako hesitated. "Who's sayako?" She asked, genuinely confused.
"Sayako it's... You. You're sayako. And... And we're your friends." Coral explained, holding back tears.
"But, that's.. That's Matt. He's your boyfriend."
Please, please remember...
Sayako's emerald green eyes landed on matt. The boy she fell in love with when she was 12. She was 15 now. "I don't know who you are." She explained apologetically.
Matt was heartbroken.
Sayako didn't remember him? The songs he wrote for her?
"Sayako, you..." Coral shook slightly.
She didn't remember anything?
Sayako pulled herself up and looked at the unfamiliar faces.
"... I.. I'm sorry?"
She was confused and a bit scared.
"Saya..." Matt whispered, tears pricking his eyes.
Maiko stood in the doorway, staring with tearful eyes. "There's a cure for it," She muttered. Coral looked at her.
Maiko nodded, lost in thought. "... But it's near impossible to make. You need at least 5 elementals. One of Ice, one of Earth, one of Fire, one of Water, and one of Air.
Holly looked up, as did Coral and Sorrin and Izzy.
"Go on?" Sorrin egged Maiko on.
"Well, you'll need a piece of magic. Such as a bit of ice, a bit of water, a fireball, a bit of earth's magic, and air magic. Some bit of each type of magic."
"Uh-huh?" Holly raised a brow.
"And someone who can deal with many types of magic will stir it and chant the phrase, "Memories of [the person], come back." until it happens."
"That it?" Coral asked. Maiko nodded.
Izzy smiled. "Great."
