Nitsu No Sekai

Chapter 6: Mitsuko's Chance.

"Geez, that fight was gruesome, you okay, Mitsuko?" Hideaki asked, making sure his exhausted partner was alright. "Y-Yeah... Just a little tired." The white haired girl yawned as she grabbed a towel to wipe off all her sweat. "Let's never face Marilyn again, that man is crazy." Hideaki stated, heading to the showers. "Hide-" "No you can't." The orange haired boy quickly interrupted, thinking the golden eyed girl was wanting to take a shower with him. "Can we do something for dinner? Like get a drink or something?" Mitsuko asked, trying to be subtle. "Oh, yeah, sure." Hideaki agreed with a smile, not expecting Mitsuko to wish for something like that. "Ooh! Your smile is so cute!" The golden eyed girl yelped with joy, hopping up and down. "She's the same old Mitsuko though." Hideaki thought with a "Pfft!" sounding chuckle as he walked out of the tiled waiting room. Mitsuko waited a couple seconds till she knew Hideaki couldn't hear her, watching her Fairy partner leave to the showers. Hideaki was gone, unable to hear Mitsuko anymore. "Eeek! Marilyn's advice worked!" Mitsuko excitedly squeaked, remembering the black haired man's words of wisdom. "Be calm and assertive, make sure they are okay with your plans, and if not... Change them to their likings but also yours, because if you're not having fun, they're probably feeling uncomfortable. And Mitsuko, DON'T freak out and start getting all huggy and touchy." Marilyn's advice echoed through Mitsuko's head. "Don't worry, Marilyn! I have it all under..." The white haired girl was saying before she remembered something. "Shoot! I don't know how to open the door to the bar!" The white haired girl cried, falling to her knees as she pulled her own hair, feeling sad and frustrated. "I'm sorry, Hide! My plans are ruined becau-" "What in the name of Hell are you doing?" Haruko asked, popping out of nowhere. "Hide... Say yes to drink, and, and, and, and I can't open the door to the bar!" Mitsuko whined like a baby, pouting on the ground. "Wait? What is he doing here?" Mitsuko second doubted herself. "Hmm, so you finally got a date with your dream boy?" Haruko chuckled as he knelt down. "Y-Yeah! Then I-I-I-I-I messed it up!" The white haired girl kept on crying, rolling all over the "dirty" floor. "Why don't you just ask Yuuki? She can do it." Haruko suggested. "No!" Mitsuko exclaimed as she looked up at Haruko, knowing Yuuki would probably kill her if she asked. "You could ask Fellusaifu, she can't do it, but at least she knows how to." Haruko gave another suggestion. "Fellu-saifu..." Mitsuko repeated, not liking the thought of seeing that female again.

"My oh my, it's so great to see you again, umm, what was your name again?" Fellusaifu asked with a friendly smile, still lying in her bed with the same wires hooked into her back. Mitsuko uncomfortably shifted her shoulders, not liking to see the blonde haired Sekizo, let alone talk to her. "It's Mitsuko..." Mitsuko quietly answered, changing the way she was standing so she didn't have to directly face Fellusaifu. "Ah, that's such a pretty name, you know, my daughter looks exactly like you... Same hair, same eyes, same shape, you two are practically the same person." Fellusaifu named off, seeming to hint at something. "Well, I'm not your daughter, I'm someone else's." Mitsuko stated as she got closer to the Nine Tails. "Huh? Are you sure? I could've sworn you, well, were my daughter." Fellusaifu sighed as she tilted her with disappointment. Mitsuko let out a grunt, not liking how this was going already. "Oh! Which reminds me. When you go back to the other world, take these with you." Fellusaifu said as she offered a little capsule of pills. "Wh-What are those?" Mitsuko hesitantly asked, not sure if she should take drugs from someone she didn't trust. "Translation Medication, it helps you speak fluently in any language. My servants make it for me when I visit the other world... But, I haven't been anywhere for a couple years, so I want you to have it." Fellusaifu offered with another gleeful smile. Mitsuko nervously took the so called Translation Medication, not trusting it for the whole part, but seeing how it would be useful. "Listen, Haruko told me you know how to open-" "Doors?" The fox eyed girl guessed. "Y-Yeah." Mitsuko said. "Easy, just imagine the place you want to go, and point your finger at the air." The blonde haired Sekizo advised with a warm and loving smile. "That-That, that's it?" Mitsuko asked, a little suspicious. "Uh huh." Fellusaifu said with a head nod of assurance. "Well... Thanks, bye." Mitsuko hesitantly said as she turned around to walk out of Fellusaifu's room. "That's all? You don't want to tell me how life's going? You know, I'm not a sensory Sekizo, but I can recognize a face... Even if it's not their own." Fellusaifu said with another smile. "I don't want to talk to anyone, relating HER." Mitsuko firmly stated as she touched the doorknob to Fellusaifu's door. "You know she'll always be with you, around you, a part of you." Fellusaifu kept saying. "So why avoid her? Did she hurt you? Abuse you? Disown you? I thought I would've raised her better than that." The fox eyed girl kept on going, making Mitsuko angrier and angrier. "It's none of your business." Mitsuko said as she opened the door. "But I'm your-" "Your not even related to me." Mitsuko spat as she turned around. "Maybe... But that doesn't mean I don't worry about you. Listen, Mitsuko, I'm not the same as her... I know I didn't raise my daughter right, but I'm a Sekizo, and she is too." Fellusaifu tried to reason with the white haired girl in front of her. "You don't say? Funny, because, without books... Your daughter went on a killing spree and ate hundreds in just a couple days!" Mitsuko snarled with anger, getting closer to Fellusaifu with each word she said. "She did? Wh-When was this?" The blonde haired Sekizo asked, seeming a bit distressed and startled that her daughter would ever do such a thing. "Ummm, let's see, how about when I was seven!" Mitsuko answered, now face to face with the fox eyed girl. Fellusaifu looked even more distressed now, she didn't realize that her daughter was doing such things. "Mitsuko... Is... Is that why you hate Sekizos? Because they remind you of-" "Yes! Yes, that's exactly why! All the pain and suffering I went through! Is because I wasn't raised right! I was crazy and psychotic! Just like my mother! Something you and I and her have in common! There! You happy!? Are you happy now that I finally admitted it!?" Mitsuko asked as tears streamed down her face. The white haired girl had completely lost it. She was bawling her eyes out, letting out all her anger and sadness, and pouring it on Fellusaifu. The blonde haired Sekizo started crying a little bit too, feeling like it was her fault. Fellusaifu gave the crying girl a hug, trying to comfort her. Mitsuko hugged back, sobbing and sobbing.

About 14 years ago...

"Mama, what are you doing."

"Darling, please go away."

"Who are those."

"People."

"No one."

"Just go back to your room."

"No."

"Go, child."

"No."

"Now."

"Let mother be."

"Who are those people."

"They are no one."

"They aren't moving..."

"Mama, they aren't moving."

"I know."

"They aren't breathing..."

"Mama, they aren't breathing."

"I know."

"They aren't alive..."

"Mama, they aren't alive."

"I know."

"They're dead..."

". . ."

"I know..."

The white haired female pushed the little girl out of her room, locking the door and staying in her room for the next two days.
