Chapter 10

|Mc pov|

Hearing the words of Kain echo in my ear I only sat there, seeing his face twist into a smile. The moon flicking in and out of the clouds above while we both remained sitting. The wind picked up as it blew my hair, the gleam of his glasses shined while his blonde hair blew. We sat there unmoving for what felt like a life time even if it had only been a few minutes.

"So tell me kid.. what gave it away? I thought from your friendliness with the girl and lack of hesitation when we offered help to you two, my little plan had worked. Yet here you are.." Kain spoke while leaning forward his smile disappearing as we both looked at the ground.

"At first, I can't say I truly knew anything about what was happening but that changed when I saw the girl. No matter if this district is poor and racked with crime. How could a girl have wounds like that if she didn't take up the sword. Then the home no matter how much you tried to manipulate it, there is no mistaking that feeling that permeates it. Along with that smell you give off, there is no way I would mistake it." I spoke looking at the ground while I smiled a little, feeling a force come off Kain's body while he pushed his glasses back on his face.

"I went through all this work, setting up here so no one would suspect anything. Then again your not exactly normal.. are you? I didn't think I would need to worry in this shit hole of a town but that doesn't really matter now. Let me ask you, what do you mean by smell?" Kain leaned in speaking with a voice of Curiosity, tilting his head as more of the strange force came off his body. It glowed a dark green around him while he looked at my face, that was still looking at the ground and his smile grew a little. Taking a breath in through his nose as if trying to smell himself.

"Death.. the smell of blood. No matter how much someone tries to get rid of it.. if you have killed you can always smell it. Yours is different from others but you reek of the smell, I am no one to judge though. So let me ask you this, why? Why this girl and why her family?" I asked looking out to the trees that blew as Kain stood up. Leaning over to me his smile now only a grin. Tilting his head at my question while he stepped back a little before speaking.

"What does it matter now? After all it's not like i could find use for the girl forever, there is no use in telling someone.. who is already dead." Kain's eyes glowed while he put his arms crossed behind his back, looking at blood that sprayed on the window and wall of the houses front door. His eyes becoming invisible behind the glasses as he smiled.

'What a pitiful state, I can not change what has already happened. Nor will it help until you are willing to overcome it.. but I will show you.' I thought as my head hung low and blood came from my shoulder. Before my face dropped I got a glimpse. A glimpse of crazed eyes, a twisted smile, blonde like hair and a short katana that stabbed me. It pinned me to the wall as I heard the man step forward.

"You did well.. I thought I could talk him down but he was set on killing her. To put her out of her misery. I'm sorry it had to come to this.." Kain's voice changed to a calm one while he walked to the girl that had a strained look and smile. Rubbing her head and pulling her close as he hugged her.

"I I I, I didn't mean to.. what do i do?! I I I.. killed." The girl started to stutter, breaking down. Feeling Kain's hug she held on to him and cried. Kain dropped to one knee making her look at him while he leaned in, pulling her forward as he kissed her forehead.

"Stop, it is fine.. I'm right here. You can't quit on me or her now ok? I need you to move him while i deal with the place to put them. Do you understand, I need you to kill the other inside for me ok?" Kain spoke sweetly to her while at first she shook, when she heard a few words in the sentence her eyes became clouded and she shook her head.

'It's going to be a shame when I have to kill her.. I really like this puppet. Maybe I'll keep her corpse..' Kain thought while he nodded to her, pulling her into another hug. Before standing and moving to eliminate his other 'play things'.

The girls eyes watched him leave with a strange smile before she turned her head back to my body. Her eyes glowing while she pulled the katana out of my arm, throwing it to the side as she reached out to me. Her arm bending up while her eyes bulged a little.

"That was a strange conversation, do you know what he is talking about?" Standing I spoke as I help the girl by her neck, squeezing as her arms clawed at me. Shaking my head I punched her in the stomach, watching as spit came from her mouth and her body bent.

"Maybe it's better if I show you first hand." I said dragging her with me inside, walking passed the still sleeping Zaraki as I walked to the back door. While we got closer to the door, she swung her arms around in a strange fashion and started to freak out.

"No.. no no! You can't go in there mother is still sick! Please don't.. don't hurt her!" The girl yelled as I cut the door down, her eyes opening as she saw a woman sitting on the bed. She saw her Long black hair touched by the moon light, her face full of smiles as she turned to the girl.

"Honey what's wrong? You know you can't come in here. Not with out Kain." The woman spoke in a sweet voice while she moved her hair.

"Mother! I'm sorry! You have to.. Uh." The girl tried to say getting her neck squeezed by me. Her eyes struggling to look over to me as I shook my head.

"You think so little of your mother? I expected you to tell the difference.." sighing I pulled my sword, looking at the bed.

"Pl-Ple-please don't, don't hurt.. ah, hurt her!" The girl squeezed out some words watching me point my sword at her mother. Only to be shocked as blood sprayed, closing her eyes shut to the sounds of it hitting the wall.

'Why did I trust him.. why would I bring this. This monster here, now.. now she's gone. I'm so stupid I should have let the boy die. I can't do anything, I hate this, I hate all of this! I hate myself for being so weak. And most of all I hate this monster!' The girls world crashed around her as she went over what happened. If she just stayed inside none of this would have happened but now here she was. Weak and unable to fight back. She wanted to run to her siblings. Run away from this place and find Kain but she couldn't. Still in her mind most of all she wanted to kill this boy.

'Interesting. I can see why he took a interest In her.' I thought flicking my sword and looking at the girl. Her body started to shake as I looked down the hall, feeling her body shake more as her spiritual pressure started to grow.

"That's enough. Open your eyes to the world around you. If you wish to hate me then do so but you let that thing trick you, and that is.. something you'll have to live with." I raised my spiritual pressure a little, suppressing her as I drop her to the floor.

"Stop talking!..ah!" The girl yelled only to have her blonde hair grabbed and brought to my face. Her eyes slowly moving from me to the bed as they enlarged.

On the bed there was blood all over, hair, and claw marks. Still that's not what frightened her, it was the dried up corpse of someone laying in the bed. There skin cracked as if it was falling apart and her eyes sunken in a long with her mouth that had her tongue missing. Then to the giant grotesque thing attached to her chest, it's teeth digging in to her dry flesh as it's top was missing. Blood sprayed from it while the body of it wriggled on the bed. At the end it had a tongue it used to call for help in her mothers voice.

"Mom, what is that?! Mother.. no no no. Kain said he would fix her! That we would make her better together. It's a lie! Your.." the girls mind broke down while she looked at the neck less she gave her mother in my hand.

"Stop trying to come up with a way that this is all ok, it's not.. not from your own failure.. but that man you put so much faith in. Cry if you want to but I need to find and kill that man." I wasn't going to comfort her, not because I didn't want to or couldn't but there was no way her mind would accept it right now.

Moving my sword as foot steps and weird screeches could be heard. Flash stepping to Zaraki as the bodies of the two kids, aiko and Koro fell behind the girl. She turned around slowly, looking at the dried up corpses of her little brother and sister. Watching the blood come from the smaller creatures on their chest, holding her hands out to bring them close as her palms became covered in blood.

"I'm.. I'm, i'm.. in hell." She said as she laughed like a mad man, pulling them in to her arms as she cried. I looked back for a moment as my smile disappeared and shook my head. Walking to the door to end this long night.
