31 Dance of Insanity (Part 2)

*PUSHI*

Kenji felt no pain, and when he opened his eyes, the sight before him sent tears down his cheeks.

Amari stood there, smiling, the massive sword plunged deep into her chest, the four arms that wrapped around her chest and stomach started clawing at her skin, with fingernails and bones. "Fuck you, bitch." She coughed up blood as she plunged the sword deeper, impaling the three of them further.

"A-amari... Ai... N-no." Kenji choked as he watched as the arms finally fell limp. He hadn't known them long, but this scene, this entire scenario, weighed heavily on his heart. Despite their rather aggressive meeting, these two had shown him a level of kindness and understanding that no one else had in this world. Ai was the first to call him out on his bullshit, and he respected her for it. So why did this insanity have to take his new, and only, friends away from him?

He dropped his head, closing his eyes once more. He had survived, but at what cost? What would he do? Where would he go? He couldn't go back to being the fake samurai anymore.

"Amari! NO!" Ai's voice rang out in the halls, but it wasn't from in front of him, impaled with Amari. Kenji opened his eyes and turned around, Hoat'l landed on the ground and was running towards him, and Ai blurred towards Amari.

"What!? How!?" Kenji cried out as he choked on his tears, looking over where the body of Hoat'l was earlier, he saw the still mangled hand of Andromeda, he quickly turned to Amari and only saw a single pair of arms hanging limply, both without hands.

Was it all a lie?

A bored sigh could be heard echoing through the halls as the once limp stumps pushed a regenerating body off of Amari's blade.

"You couldn't even let me have a dramatic moment, could you, my love~" She said with a bored expression, except for the last part, where she smiled and clapped her still forming hands together with the sound of a wet slap as the regenerating flesh squirted blood over Andromeda's freshly regenerated face.

Ai glared at Andromeda, eyes full of hatred. "Love you? Fuck you, I hate you!" Ai stomped forward and slapped Andromeda across her face with her forearm with enough force to echo loudly throughout the great hall.

Andromeda looked at her in surprise before her lips slowly curled into a grin. "That actually hurt~" She caressed her cheek with her newly grown hand. "That actually hurt!" She repeated excitedly, holding her face in her completely restored hands. "That actually hurt." She repeated once more, her smile turning normal for once as a soft blush streaked across her cheeks, this scene would have looked almost normal if not for her dragging her fingernails across her cheeks, causing them to bleed.

Ai didn't relent her glare. Her aura was actually visible as red formed around her body. She stomped forward again, coiling her arm to her chest as she lashed out, striking Andromeda in the face with her bandaged stump, causing her to fly back a few feet, landing on her back. Ai flinched from the pain as blood began to drip from the re-opened wound.

"Ahn~" Andromeda moaned, touching her cheek where she was punched. "Pain~ Lovely pain~" Her body wriggled unnaturally as she groaned in a twisted form of ecstasy. "My first time~" Ai glared at her with a sickened look on her face. As she stomped forward and kicked Andromeda in the face. "Ahn!~" She moaned again, holding her bleeding face in her hands once more.

Ai spat at Andromeda and coiled her arm again. She stood there, shaking and glaring at Andromeda, her teeth clenched, her legs shook uncontrollably.

'This is pointless. We can't beat her...'

Andromeda rose from the ground and approached Ai, reaching out her hand to her face. Ai was frozen, tears streaming down her face, her arms and legs wobbled before her legs gave out, collapsing to the ground.

'Please stop.'

Andromeda wrapped her arms around Ai and licked the tears from her face. "It's ok, let me take care of you, love you, feed you, pleasure you~" Andromeda said with a cheery, almost normal sounding voice.

'Please no...'

"In return, I want you to love only me~ only me~ love me~" She caressed Ai's hair, her long tongue lapped up all of the tears. Ai didn't have the strength to do anything else, her mind was blank.

'Amari, I'm sorry...'

Suddenly, a hand reached out, grabbing Andromeda by the throat and lifting her up into the air. "You... leave my... sister alone... you... bitch..." Ai immediately looked behind her, seeing Amari standing there, holding Andromeda in the air with a stone hand and Freyr through her chest. "Sis..." Ai said through her cracked voice.

Waving her other hand through the air, Amari dislodged Freyr from her chest as it floated beside her. Amari coughed up blood, her grip on her throat weakening slightly. "Love... me...~" Andromeda's voice croaked as her vocal cords were being crushed.

"Love this... you bitch..." She gripped Freyr and plunged it into Andromeda's chest.

"Ha... Ha... Ha... That... won't... work..." She croaked again with a sadistic grin.

Ai stood up, placing a stump next to Amari's hand on the handle. "y'know." Ai said, wiping the tears away from her face as she smiled. "That's the sanest thing you have said this entire time." She finished as she and Amari plunged the sword deeper into Andromeda's chest.

Demonic screams of ecstasy filled the halls as Andromeda began to cough out blood and red mist started pouring out of her mouth. Her eyes started to change. The ruby-red glowing dulled as they faded slowly into silver eyes.

As the last of the red mist leaked out and dissipated on the floor, Andromeda's expression changed to a serene look, her eyes turned towards Ai, and her mouth opened as she said one last phrase. "Thank... you..." Before her eyes dulled, and finally...

She died.
