The Six Heavens of Mishna Chapter 9 “This is not going my way.” A dark voice snarled. The shadow figure stood up from its throne and walked over to the two guards who were standing by the door. The figure stepped out of the shadow to reveal a gorgeous man with lavender long flowing hair, with streaks of white. His deep brown-chocolate eyes blazed dangerously with anger and hatred. he wore a black armor with a cape and a well decorate sword. His age 1,034 years old. He stopped short glaring at the men in front of him. “Why isn’t anything going my way?” He growled “I don’t know milord.” One of the soldiers replied. “The Golden City of Mishna is still in our grasp but four of our teammates have died!” The second one reported. “I KNOW ALL THAT!!!” The lord shouted. He took out his sword and studied it, he then turned to his men and swung it at them. He started to laugh, the men fearing for their lives laughed with him thinking it was a jock. Suddenly, the first soldier started gasping for air. He reached for his neck and felt a warm sticky liquid and dropped to the ground. The second man watched in horror and reached for his neck and notice he was bleeding too. Panicking, he tried to stop the mortal wound as he gasp for air. He dropped lifeless to the ground. The lord watching this with an evil smirk, he sighed in pleasure. “That felt good.” “Brother, you’re at it again?” A feminine voice came from the shadow behind him. “Of course Shimiru. I had to find a way to keep calm.” He spoke without turning to face his twin. “By killing them, Shimori? I’m disappointed that you didn’t wait for me, so I could watch. I did tell you I was coming.” Shimiru walked past her brother. She looked exactly like him and her armor was the same as his but only red. She knelt down at the lifeless body, dipped her index finger in their blood and licked it. “mmm....good.” Shimori had a look of disgust on his face, “You are truly disgusting Shimiru.” His expression changed to serious as he said, “did you find them?” “Yes, but we can’t attack now. Those annoying guardians surround them.” She squeezed her face in hatred. “I can’t believe Kaishiaru reborn the king and queen and made them believe they were guardians of that wretched child...acting as his guardians.” “Good. When is it a good time to attack?” He asked ignoring the rest of what she said. “When they are about to sleep is the best time. We could kidnap the leader of the Heavens...what’s her name again...ah yes Kera, and make her into one of us.” Shimiru said “Wait won’t it be better to get the queen instead?” “If you want a pissed off Koji and the rest of the guardians including that stupid fairy girl to come after you then go ahead.” “But won’t we have to worry about Reiko, Koji, Hiroshi, Susaki and Satoki if we get Kera?” “Let me take care of them, I’ll challenge them to a fight. The king and queen are suppose to be dead, when you attacked to wing palace, but Kaishiaru had to interfere with our affairs and reborn them. She hid them away and the child from us. One day I’ll get her but for now I’ll take care of the Heavens.” She said to her brother and disappeared from sight. ‘Good luck sister.’ Shimori prayed. ‘I’ll be watching you.’ =^_^= “Shimiru is at it again. Doesn’t she ever learn?” The lady in purple said. “Supreme Kaishiaru!” A fairy like creature yelled as it flew in the room The pool image faded away and Kaishiaru send her attention to the fairy like creature. “What is it Cruishiru?” “It’s the City, the people are starting to fade away!” “No, damn it! It’s to early.” Kaishiaru whispered as she bit her lips. “Supreme if you don’t mind me asking? Why did you reborn Reiko-sama and Koji-sama? Why did you send them to earth thinking they were guardians?” Cruishiru asked puzzled. “If I had left them to die on the same day the palace fell all life as we know it on Mishna would be over, and if this world goes so does the human’s world. The queen and King are what forbear this world from dying if they die the Jutseno would have taking over by now. I sent them to Earth because that was the safest place for them to be in. The Jutseno took years to find them, leaving enough time to prepare for them.” Kaishiaru looked at the fairy that had a mystified look on her face. “You are wondering why I sent Mishna and the others, ne?” Cruishiru looked at her boss and nodded, “I was kind of confused with that.” “I sent the prince and the others to earth so they can regroup with their queen and king and come back. It was all done for their safety. Once they are regroup Midi and Oshio will bring them here and the queen will save both worlds.” “But to save both worlds there must be a sacrifice.” Cruishiru spoke confused then it hit her. “Oh my god, that can’t be, there has to be another way” “I'm afraid there is no other way.” “Koji and the others will never allow it.” “They will have to, for their world and the human’s, they will have too.” Kaishiaru whispered as she bowed her head slightly. “Cruishiru, I want...no I need you to go down to earth and alert Midi or Oshio that danger will be coming and that they should expect the worst. Why you? You can be undetected by the Jutseno with your small size. I can’t do it because last time I tried I was almost caught, and I can’t let that happen. This place is hiding from them and needs to stay hiding. I am the only one left to know what to do to save both worlds if I am caught, all our work would have been for nothing.” “I’ll be honored to do it.” Cruishiru bowed and flew off. ‘Good luck Cruishiru.’ =^_^= Mishna had explain everything or what he could to them, when Koji woke up. “I can’t believe it....I can’t believe it. ”Koji repeated that sentence throughout the explanation, while receiving glares from Reiko. When Mishna finished explaining he went to kneel in front of his parents, “I’m sorry I had lied to you, but Kaishiaru told me not to say a word and try not to make it obvious. I couldn’t do it any more and I’m sorry.” “Who is Kaishiaru anyways.” Susaki asked Mishna turned to face her and opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by Midi, “You’ve said enough prince. Don’t dare say it.” Midi said angrily. Mishna turned back to his parent’s without another word said. Reiko’s eyes were blurry from the tears as she looked at Mishna. Something in her had told her to believe him that he was her son. Everyone watched the family closely especially Reiko and Koji, waiting impatiently for the effects of Mishna’s story had done to them. Mishna dropped his head low thinking the tears from Reiko was tears of shame and Koji shaking his head did not help either. Reiko reached for Mishna and cupped his chin, raising his head up to look at her in the eyes. “Mishna, my son?” She asked with so much emotion in her voice that it cracked. Mishna nodded his head hesitantly, Reiko laughed and cried then. Her tears flowing down her face as she pulled Mishna closer to her and hugged him, Mishna held her closer. He had waited for this for so long he thought he was dreaming at first. Everyone else turned to Koji, who was looking at the wall blankly and shocked. ‘I knew this was a bad idea.’ Oshio said to Midi telepathically. ‘No kidding, look at him.’ She responded ‘This is too weird! How can I be a father to a fifteen years old kid? He said I died and was reborn by someone name Kaishu... Kaishiru...something like that. Then why do I have this feeling he is telling me the truth? What am I suppose to do? He is what... six...ten years younger than me. What am I suppose to do?' One part of him screamed out. ‘Hug him tell him you love him or something like that! You know he is telling the truth he IS your son.’ A calmer part of him spoke. Koji snapped out of his daze and sketched a small smile on his face as he turned to see Mishna and everyone else looking at him. He could feel Reiko’s eyes pleading with him. His smile grew wider and as he spread his arms wide towards Mishna who ran into them. Koji embraced him and leaned closer to his ears and whispered something that no one else could hear. “I love you, my son.” It felt weird saying that but it away it felt good. Mishna silently cried when he heard that, he had waited fifteen years to reunite with his parents and to hear does words. The moment was shattered when the window bursts opened and out of instinct they all look at it startled. When nothing happened they all let out their breaths not knowing they had held it in. Reiko walked up to the window and right when she was about to touch it something flew in scaring her, “Ahhh!” She screamed in surprise as she fell back but was quickly caught by Kera. A few feet away from them they saw a little creature laying on the floor, getting up. It stood up and flew few feet in front of them.. “Cruishiru!!!” Midi yelled surprised “What are you doing here?” Oshio asked. Cruishiru frowned, “I feel loved. I risk my neck coming here, almost ruining into a Jutseno and not to mention the queen and I don’t even hear a hello.” She grumbled “Are you ok?” Satoki asked “Thank you, I’m fine. I came to warn you, Kaishiaru-sama sent me.” “What’s wrong?” Before she answered she transformed looking like a fourteen years old girl. “That’s much better. Shimiru is coming for you and you should expect the worst. She is probably coming for the queen or the Kera, oh so I was told.” Cruishiru looked at Kera who was by Hiroshi confused and scared, then at Reiko who was held in Koji’s arms from the back and Mishna, who was standing by them. She curtsey at them. “Your highnesses.” “Please don’t.” Reiko spoke for all of them. It felt weird for someone to curtsey or bow to them. “I forgot! You always hated formalities.” She smiled. “I know you don’t remember much but I will always serve and protect you anyway I can.” She turned to Mishna, “It’s been a long time, ne? I’m happy you’re back with your family.” “Thank you Shiru-chan, and I am happy.” Mishna smiled at her. Before Cruishiru could reply she heard Kaishiaru’s voice in her head. ‘Yes’ She walked over to Midi and whispered something in her ears and Midi nodded seriously. “Tell Oshio too. “Midi nodded again. “Oh, I have to go! I’m being summoned.” She shrunk back to her regular size. “Don’t forget Shimiru is coming. I’ll see you again, Bye everyone and good luck.” Cruishiru vanished. “Midi who is...” Hiroshi was cut off. “I’m sorry I can’t say at this moment, but I promise soon that you will understand everything.” Midi turned to Oshio. “I need to talk to you in private,” “Why? you feeling naughty?” Oshio smirked Midi looked at him disgusted. “Even if I did you will be the last choice I would pick.” “Right, girl you are so in denial.” Midi slanted her eyes in anger. “YOU...JERK!!!” She screamed in his ear and slapped him. “Serves you right, you pervert. I’ll be waiting outside.” And she walked out. Oshio held his cheek and grinned. “That woman. You know she wants me.” The others smirked or snickered as Susaki said, “Yeah like a disease.” Oshio threw her a glare but receive an sweet innocent smile as he walked out. =^_^= When Oshio stepped out of the building he saw Midi original form and knew this was serious, so he lost his smirk and turned into the black wing angel. “Oshio, Kaishiaru-sama wants us to give them their memories back. She said it would be for the best.” Midi turned to face him with a serious expression on her face, if you would look closer you could see she was actually worried. “But won’t that get in the way of their mission?” He asked not liking it at all. “That’s what I was thinking, but if she wants it done then we better do it.” She looked down with a feeling of dread in her heart. “Oshio, I don’t like this. Something big is going to happen tonight, I can feel it.” Oshio walked closer to her and laid a gentle hand on her shoulder while lifting her head with his other hand. “Mid-chan, if something is going to happen we’ll be there together to stop it.” He kissed her on her forehead and smiled down at her surprised face. “O-Oshio, you haven’t done that since we were little.” She said surprised “Well, old habits die-hard.” He shrugged. “When are we going to give them back their memories?” She asked with a frown. “You know frowns don’t fit your lovely face.” “Will you stop flirting all the time and be serious for once?” She growled “Who? Me serious? No thank you, I like the way I am. Gee, give a girl a compliment and what does she give you? A smack, kills you’re eardrums by yelling in them or put you unconscious for a while.” “Oh I’m sorry would you like a kiss better?” She sarcastically asked “Yup, why not. That would be quite lovely.” “I was being, SARCASTIC you moron!” Midi yelled in his ear. “Ow, that was my ear Midi.” Oshio rubbed his ear while he glared at her. “ Good for you. You are such a flirt!” “Well, excuse me for being a man, you know that’s what we do and girls are suppose to like it, unlike you.” “And what is that suppose to mean.” Midi glare murderously as she stepped forward “Absolutely nothing.” Oshio said as he backed way from her. “I think we should put them to sleep and then we could give them their memories, but not tonight remember what Cruishiru said.” He changed the topic quickly fearing for his life. “Right, it’s more Shimiru’s style to sneak up when you are less expecting anything to happen and the best time for that is when we are sleeping. I bet you she will come tonight. I say we should pretend we are sleeping and when she comes we’ll be ready for her.” “That’s sounds like a good idea.” “Come on, let’s go tell them of the plan.” Midi said as she transformed back to human and walked pass Oshio. As she was about to step in, Oshio called after her. “ Hey, Midi?” “Yes?” She turned to face him. “I...I...never mind...it was nothing.” He lied She smiled at him before she went inside. He sighed at the same time he transformed back, “Coward.” and followed. =^_^= “Cruishiru, did you tell them?” Kaishiaru asked. “Yes, I told Midi and asked her tell Oshio.” Cruishiru answered. "Good, I just hope nothing will happen while they do their task. I want you to watch over all of them, but they should not know that you are watching them. If you need to attack disguise your voice and stay in the shadows, is that understood?” Kaishiaru ordered in a soft tone. “Yes,” Cruishiru vanished from sight. “Shimiru, if anything happens to any of them, I’ll kill you myself same for your brother. No way in hell will you two destroy them a second time.” =^_^= It was night, the group were in bed. Midi and Oshio had told them of the plan and they agreed to it and stayed in the same room. Mishna, Reiko, and Koji were in one bed. Mishna had to change into a baby so they would all be able to fit into the bed. Kera and Hiroshi were in another, Susaki and Satoki were in one, and Midi and Oshio were in the last bed quietly fighting for the covers. At first they both refused to sleep in the same bed and made a scene of it by insulting each other. Reiko and Susaki had got them in the bed and made them stay on it by threaten to lock them both in one closet for one day if they didn’t stop. Few minutes later, they heard a quiet evil laugh and saw a dim light in the middle of the room. “This is like taking candy from a baby.” The voice whispered. “I could kill them all if I wanted. Now where is the royal family?” Hearing this Reiko held Mishna closer to her as fear gripped hold of her heart, Koji sensed her fear and held her tighter, protectively towards him. Shimiru turned around saw them on the bed next to the window, she smirked and walked over to them as she took a dagger from her armor. She ran it across Reiko’s cheek. “You are a bitch, you have no right to be queen. I should have been the one...but you stole that away from me, just like you stole the man I loved. You stole them...you deserve to die. Say goodnight, my queen.” She sneered as she raised the dagger over her head, before she brought it down she heard someone yell. “Snake of Destruction!!!” Hiroshi yelled angrily Shimiru jumped out of the way and looked behind her, she sees a figure wrapped in the shadow. “Who dares?” “I do witch.” Hiroshi uttered as he stepped out of the shadow. As he does that Kera stands up too, “and I.” She walks and stood beside Hiroshi. Then every one but the royal stood up and took their place next to Hiroshi and Kera. “We all do.” Satoki Said. “How dare you speak to the queen like that! You have no rights what so ever!” Susaki growled. “And you don’t know whom you’re dealing with child.” Shimiru threatened. “Tell your queen, I challenge her to a duel in the forest in one hour, a fight to the death. If she doesn’t come I’ll destroy fifty people in every town until she shows up.” Shimiru disappeared. Hiroshi and the gang rushed to Reiko, Koji and Mishna. “Are you guys okay?” Susaki asked Koji sat up as he released Reiko, and ran his hands through his hair and sighed. “Yea fine.” Midi walked over to Reiko and notice she was trembling so did Mishna and he turned back to a fifteen years old. He helped her up and asked if she was ok. “H-hai I’m alright.” Reiko answer with a shaky voice that attracted everyone’s attention. Reiko looked up to Midi who was at her said, “I.....I want to know...the truth Midi,” Midi grimly shook her head. “What did Shimiru mean by what she said? And why does her aura similar to mine?” She asked fearfully almost dreading the answer. “Shimiru and Shimori, the one that was sending those people after us but mainly you and Mishna are twins. They are...you used to know them....you saw them everyday but I do not know why her aura is similar to yours.” She answered. “You are not telling me the truth Midi.” Reiko yelled. “Please I need to know.” She whispered. Midi and the others looked at Reiko surprise wondering how she knew that. “I...I’m sorry, I can’t.” “Midi, I think we can tell them about the twins.” Oshio said. “If were not then Kaishiaru would have said something by now.” Midi looked at him for a while then sighed. She turned back to Reiko, “They are your siblings, my queen.” Her voice was firm yet you could detect sadness from it. The room stood in silence. “Shimiru and her twin always stood in the shadows compared to you. You were a perfect being, good at everything, and they hated you for it. Shimiru always wanted to be queen, it was her dream but when your mother announced that you would be queen because you were ready for it and Shimiru wasn’t, she completely lost it and despise you more. She did everything in her power to make you change your mind in becoming queen, you would have given it to her, but the queen didn’t allow it, because Shimiru was beyond unprepared, selfish, mean, and so much more.” Midi explained “But what does she mean I stole her love?” Reiko asked still shaking from the amount of evil she felt. “That’s simple really.” Oshio came closer to Reiko and stood along side Midi. “When Koji came to the palace, for government reasons, Shimiru fell in love with him but he didn’t return it. She tried everything to get his attention but nothing worked. You, Reiko-sama thought Koji was a conceited arrogant jerk.” He paused to see her reaction he was rewarded with a flushed face. “But once you got to know him better you eventually fell in love with him and he returned it. This angered Shimiru more.” “What about Shimori?” Kera asked totally into the conversation. “Shimori was a pervert...well that’s what I think.” Oshio said as he wrinkled his nose and received a smack behind his head by Midi. “Ow...come on Midi, you have to admit he was twisted!” Midi who was about to smack him again stopped. “Well, yeah I guess. Sorry!” “Why was he twisted?” Susaki asked as she listened to the conversation as if it was a soap opera. “Well, he didn’t consider Reiko-sama as a sister he...” “To put it blunt, he loved his sister...and I don’t mean love as in brother and sister kind of love either.” Oshio cut off Midi and waited for their reaction. “That’s sick!!!” All the girls were appalled except Midi who already knew about it. The guys squeezed their faces in disgust. “He was and completely obsessed with you. He would follow you everywhere you went just to be close and sometimes you wouldn’t know if he was. He would....well, I’m not going to say it, and it’s just to sick.” Oshio shivered. “Please don’t...we get the picture.” Koji said totally revolted. “What happened to Shimori and Shimiru?” Satoki asked. “Well, Shimiru despised Reiko and Shimori was jealous and hated Koji, so they got together and formed a plan so they would be both satisfied with it unknowing to each other that both of them had something else in mind. Reiko, and Susaki were having a double joint wedding, and they tried it there. Susaki and Reiko-sama were both beyond furious with both of them. They had ruined the wedding and tried to kill Reiko and Koji, when Reiko had leaned of who was responsible she...well, you could say all hell broke loose, literally. You had beat the sh... hell out of them with the help of Susaki and banished them far way from you, which they end up on the planet Jutseno.” Oshio finished. “Damn, Reiko-chan you have weird twisted siblings.” Hiroshi said “Don’t I know it.” Reiko said as she placed her head in her hands. “So do we go to the forest?” Susaki asked Midi. “It is not my choice to make.” Midi answered and everyone turned to Reiko, who still had her head in her hands. Realizing all eyes were on her she looked up with angry eyes. “It looks like no matter where I am, I can never get any piece of mind.” She growled. “We go. Even if I don’t want to, to many people would get involved and hurt.” “Reiko-sama...” “Don’t call me that.” She said. “What time is it?” “It’s 9:25. We have thirty-five minutes left.” Susaki reported. “Alright,” Reiko stood up and face the group. “This is how we will do this. If she wants to fight then we’ll fight. Just in case it’s a trap Midi and Oshio you will stay hidden in a tree watching for anything. If she pulls anything warn one of us, if you can’t attack.” Reiko ordered and they both nodded. “Okay, since she wants me I’ll face her alone. You six will stay in the bushes or shadows, take you pick. If she is not alone then you can come, but other wise stay hidden.” “Reiko-chan, I don’t think that’s a good idea. I don’t want you alone with that witch, it’s too dangerous.” Kera protested. “Yeah, you know she won’t play fair.” Susaki agreed. “But I play fair, I will not cheat in this battle.” “And it will get you killed Rei-chan.” Koji disapproved “I believe in what I fighting for and that will guide me. If you guys disapprove of this then stay, but I have made up my mind and I refuse to change it.” =^_^= Later in the forest, Reiko walked cautiously looking around for any traps, while the others watched her. “You came alone! Not to bright for a Queen.” A female voice thundered. Two figures walked out of the shadow. “Shimiru, I see you can’t keep your word, not a good quality to become a queen.” Reiko sneered. IN THE BUSHES: “I’m going in!” Koji whispered as he was about to stand. A hand grabbed him and pulled him back down. “Otousan, no.” “What?” “She needs to do this herself.” Mishna explained. =^_^= “What are they planning?” Oshio asked hiding. Midi shrugged, she spotted something behind the twins and squinted her eyes, and she saw twelve shadows behind them and her eyes widened. “Oh my god!” She gasped “What is it?” Oshio turned to her. “It’s an ambush, Oshio! There are people or something behind them.” “Damn it!” =^_^= In the bushes: ‘Guys it’s me Midi, It’s a trap! They are planning an ambush!” “Shit!!!” They all cursed except Mishna The gang quietly got out of the bushes and stayed few feet away from Reiko in the shadows waiting for the attack. =^_^= ‘Reiko-chan, it’s a trap be careful.’ Reiko heard Oshio in her mind ‘I will, thank you.’ Shimori stood by his sister’s side admiring her and her body. ‘ A goddess that’s what she is. If only she could be mine.’ He dreamt. “Hello Reiko.” His deep voice greeted his sister “Shimori...” She whispered as she stared at him. Shimori smiled a little. “Reiko, you can still come out of this alive. All you have to do is join me and Shimiru and rule by my side as queen or die here...alone.” Reiko frowned at that, “You are disgusting! My answer is no and will stay that way.” She spat. Shimori sighed, “very well, Reiko.” He looked at her with pleading eyes to change her mind, but she looked away. “There is nothing else to do, but to say...Good-bye Reiko.” He stepped back and Shimiru stepped up. “You should have agreed Reiko. Now, let the games begin...ATTACK!!!” She screamed. Suddenly arrows and spears where shot out of the shadows and headed toward Reiko. “Shutan Illusion!!!” A barrier appeared around Reiko, protecting her from the attack, while another scream was heard. “Shanti Wind Pressure....EXPLODE!” Behind Shimiru and Shimori screams were heard as the soldiers that were hidden there died. Reiko held out her hand and a halberd appeared in it as the barrier disappeared. “I should have known, of course the heavens wouldn’t let their precious queen go alone.” Shimiru sneered. “They wouldn’t have interfered if you had kept your word.” Reiko angrily said. Shimiru ignored her as her arms were spread over her head and vanished. “Where did she go?” Hiroshi gasped. They all felt a jolt in the earth beneath them. “What...” Reiko jumped just as the ground beneath her split. “She went under ground!’ She thought to herself as she landed as she did she saw the others land as well, scattered all around her. “Afraid I see, sister...” Shimiru laughed as she appeared looking at the raven hair woman. She pointed her right hand at her brother as a cruel smile plagued her face. “Come brother....lets show them how powerful we really are.” “Of course. “Shimori grinned as he took his sister’s hand. “Reiko... this is good-bye. Shitan Inferno....STRIKE!” They pointed their arms towards their sister as a loud rumble could be heard underneath their feet as the ground shook tremendously. “What’s going on!” Midi yelled as she held on to Oshio, who had wrapped one arm around her and the other holding on to the tree. “God, is it an Earthquake?” Susaki asked as she tried to balance herself on the shaking grounds. She looks up and her eyes are wide with fear. “Reiko watch out!” The ground under the twins had cracked opened and out gushed lava. Both angels and Heavens stood aghast and amazed as the lava formed into a beacon and was heading towards the stupefied Reiko. “MOTHER!!!” Mishna yelled as the lava headed closer to his mother “REIKO!!!” Everyone else yelled. “Shentu...SHIELD!!!” Reiko’s voice echoed through the forest as her hair stood on end. Her body with her aura as she used all her might to slam her staff in front of her. Susaki closed her eyes and turned expecting a scream of agony but she heard gasped of shock from the others instead. She opened her eyes and looked at Reiko. There was a fire shield around her that was deflecting the lava, behind the halberd, which assembled the field. Reiko held on to it with both of her hands tightly, her eyes constricted in determination “Ugh!!!” She growled as the force of the lava pushed her back. The group behind her could literally see her beginning to slid back, even though her feet were buried in the dirt and she was pushing forward with all her might. “Reiko!” Koji yelled as he jumped and ran towards his girl. “Matte Koji!” Satoki yelled, trying to grab him before he ran off. It was too late, Koji had leaped into the air and landed lightly behind Reiko. As she concentrated, she felt two hands wrapped around hers, she quickly looked back and gasped, he’s face was right behind her. “I won’t lose you! You can do this...Reiko” She turned back to the shield with a small smile. “I need only a few seconds...I can take them down...I need them to stop their attack first.” “Okay, “ he told her. “MIDI NOW!!!” He let go of her as he jumped away, so he wouldn’t be in the way. “Heavens...DESTRUCTION!!!” Midi yelled from the tree. Like a tidal wave it slammed against the twins who had paused their attack to look at the one coming. Midi and Oshio flew down from the twelve feet tall tree to join the others. ‘My turn...’ She thought. She lifted up her staff at the same time twirling it around. “Shentu....” The shield in front of her was taken down as her body began to glow. “Fire...” Her hair stood on end as the glow intensified and her eyes glowed red. “HAVEN!!!” Fire literally fell from the sky and crashed down on her and her halberd. “REIKO!!!” The all yelled except for the two angels “Don’t worry her power is fire it won’t hurt her and Shentu is protecting her too.” Midi yelled over the rushing inferno. Reiko directed her glowing halberd at her siblings and the fire collected at the orb at the top of her halberd and then bursts into energy. and was headed for the twins. Shimiru seeing her brother was too injured to move, pushed him out of the way and took the hit full force, the blast impaled her completely. At her sacrifice the others gasped, they had not expected it from her but from Shimori. “SHIMORI!!!” She screamed an agonizing scream until she dropped lifeless to the ground. Shimori gathered his energy to stand and run to his other half. He fell to his knees as three drops of tears rolled down his face and fell on his sister’s face. “Shimiru...SHIMIRU!!!” He screamed as he felt there was no life in her, he gentle cradled her in his arms as he cried silently. They touched the others. They had not expected this at all, few cried and few had sad eyes. Reiko taking a chance slowly walked towards them, she stood above them and a cold wind passed by playing with their hair. “Shimori...” She whispered. She didn’t know why she felt guilty, these people had tried to kill her so many times and now threat she killed one of them she felt guilty. Reiko knelt down on her knees, and reached out for Shimiru, but Shimori pulled her away and stared coldly at Reiko. Reiko froze under the glare, she had never felt someone stare at her with so much anger and hatred before not even her father. Shimori stood up continually staring a Reiko coldly with Shimiru in his arms. “As from now on I have no sisters, you will be my enemy now, Reiko.” He spoke with venom. “Prepare to die again, because once I see you again...I will kill you.” He walked away, before fading from their view he said, “The golden city of Mishna will be mine.” Reiko silently stood up as she wiped her tears only to collapse crying heavily. The others ran to her but Oshio and Midi stopped Hiroshi, Kera, Susaki, and Satoki saying to let them be. So they stood there watching Koji and Mishna comforting their friend. =^_^= “I wish she didn’t have to go through this.” Kera said. They were now back in the hotel in the guys’ room. It had been an hour since what had happen and Reiko had cried herself to sleep. None of them could sleep, they were worried about Reiko. “I wish it too.” Mishna whispered and the others agreed. The door opened and Koji came in, with worry and anger sketched on his face. He ignored everyone as he sighed and walked to his bed and sat down on it, “They are truly poor excuses for siblings. How can they put her THEIR older sister in this state? Good thing Shimiru died, the crazy, vindictive witch.” He grumbled, “Shimori....he is truly revolting! How dare he ask her to leave me and Mishna and the others for his pathetic self...and then say that they are no longer siblings-which I think is for the best- after she killed Shimiru...making her cry like there was no tomorrow.” He murmured as he laid down on his bed. “Wait till I get my hands on him.” Everyone looked at him, It was obvious that he didn’t know anyone was there . He was completely wrapped in his own world. They looked at each other not know what to do. Koji came out of his world when he realized he was being watched by six pairs of eyes, he turned around and saw his friends looking at him worriedly and he smiled weakly. Before anyone could ask him about Reiko he said, “Reiko -chan is fine. She’s just exhausted from the fight and crying. I’m going to bed.” “Are you okay though?” Satoki asked “ uh-huh....just tired, DON’T wake me up for nothing.” He threatened and the others nodded their heads immediately. “Oshio and I have something to do, so you guys can go to bed without us, see ya.” Midi walked out with Oshio on her trail. “Those two are weird.” Susaki commented. “Sure are.” Hiroshi agreed “Yup, well I’m going to bed,” Satoki said and kissed Susaki goodnight. The others followed his example except Mishna and went to sleep in their rooms. =^_^= (30 min later) “They’re sleeping, let’s start.” Oshio said. “You put them asleep until they remember everything, while I give them the memories.” He explained “All right.” Midi replied. Both angels were floating in the sky ten feet above the hotel. Midi closed her eyes and raised her hands above her head. “Heavenly father...” Midi’s hair waved in the air as an invisible wind passed by her. “I beseech your help, grace me with you power...” Little spirits of fairies and angels with sparkles surrounded her in a beautiful dance. “I ask you to help me do my bidden, encase Reiko, Koji and the Heavens in a dead like sleep.” She brought her hands down facing the building and the spirits and sparkles went to the Heavens. They divided themselves and went to both rooms encasing all except Mishna in a deep sleep. Midi nodded her head to Oshio indicating the process was done. Oshio closed his eyes and held out his left hand and a stone materialized in his hand. The stone had a crest of an angel and a devil on the center of the stone, it was the color dark lilac. He lowered the stone so it would be facing the building. “In the name of Kaishiaru, I beseech the power of this stone. Take only Reiko, Koji and the Heavens back to the past so they can relive it!!!” =^_^= That's it for chapter 9! Stay tuned for the next one! DON'T forget to e-mail me to tell me what you think. Bai!
