Chapter Ten: A Solution?

By: Asura Mori

It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so blind, then none of this would have happened. Kanone would still be at my side, Rio would be all right, and Ayumu… Ayumu would still be in the dark, never knowing that we Blade Children even existed. And he wouldn't know that Kiyotaka might be… Oh god, what have I done?

The Hunter pushed me away first, smirking as he ran his eyes over my body. I stepped back from, panting slightly with the need for air and glaring at him all the while. He started towards me again, stopping when I put up my hand.

"Before this continues," I muttered, narrowing my eyes to accentuate my point, "I want to see Rio for myself. Upon her release, I will do as you say." "How do I know that you won't bail as soon as we let her go?" the blonde asked, looking at me over his shades.

"Because I know that if I try to run, you will just hunt her down again and I cannot let that happen." I stated calmly, trusting in my answer, "Besides, I wouldn't get very far with a wounded girl on my back, as you well know." The Hunter seemed to think it over, his gray eyes shifting between me and the building behind him. "Very well." He finally conceded, his gray eyes narrowing, "But if you make one wrong move, the girl dies."

I nodded, although I had already known that Rio's life would be the cost if I screwed this up. And I didn't plan to screw up, for her sake at least. The gray-eyed man turned his back to me, though I could see him looking over his shoulder at me. He was being cautious, naturally, and wouldn't leave his back unattended. He gave a little indication with his head that I was to follow him, then walked off towards the building. Taking a deep breath, I quickly followed him.

After walking for quite a few minutes (between 30 and 45 at least), the Hunter finally stopped in front of a rusty old door. The blood froze in my veins as I stared at the door, knowing very well what I would find beyond it. Sensing this, my blonde escort turned to regard me with a wry grin. "You can still turn back." He chided, laughing silently at my weakness, "It's only gonna cost you, what, the girl's life?"

I glared at him, letting him know full and well how I felt about his opinions. He turned away from me, although not without one last shot at my ego. "Ooh. Scary. I can see why he calls you 'the emotionless doll'." Hearing those words, I again froze, although this time with recognition. Someone had called me that a long time ago… but it was impossible… wasn't it?

My thoughts strayed to that phone call a while back. There was no way that could have been him… right? He was dead… killed by…

"Nobody knows what happened to him." Kanone looked at me, his golden eyes glittering, "He just… upped and disappeared, and we haven't heard from him since. Forget about him, Eyes. Forget about this 'salvation' he talked about."

I lifted my hand up to my head unconsciously, not even looking at the Hunter who was eyeing me with a smile. Suddenly I felt dizzy and my knees caved under me. I grabbed for the nearest thing… the wall, as Kanone's words echoed through my head.

I snapped out of it when I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I turned to look up at the Hunter, who was squatting in front of me. "I thought you wanted to see Rio." He chuckled, his gray eyes dancing with suppressed laughter, "I didn't expect you to fall head over heels for me so quickly."

THAT woke me up. "In your dreams." I muttered, pushing myself to my feet and brushing away the hand he offered me. True, I was still a bit dizzy, but I was not about to accept help from a Hunter, especially not this Hunter. "Open the door and let's get this over with."

"As you wish, princess." The Hunter snickered, knocking on the door, then pushing it open. I glared at his choice of words, but didn't get the chance to reply as my eyes happened upon Rio. Without looking at the Hunter, I ran over to Rio, falling by her side. "Rio…" I picked her head up gently, cradling it in my lap.

Her gray eyes fluttered open, partially, to stare up at me. Tears caressed her cheeks as she looked up at me. "Are you real this time?" she whispered, her voice cracking in pain, "Or are you another illusion sent to deceive me?" "It's me Rio." I answered soothingly, brushing back her gray hair, "It's me this time." "Thank god…" she muttered, her eyes fluttering close again.

Biting back the tears that threatened to well up from my eyes, I gently placed her head back on the floor. "What in the nine hells did you do to her?" I hissed, unable to stop the anger from showing in my voice as I turned to regard the Hunter. But now there were three of them, the other two having joined up with him while I had been checking on Rio. "Oh, a little this and that." One of the newcomers chortled, his green eyes taking me in. "Be good, Nizar, unless you want him to kill you." The other said, brushing back a strand of black hair.

"Nizar. Hojo." I turned, just as the other two Hunters did, to regard the gray-eyed man. He smirked when he saw me looking at him, before glancing at his cohorts. "Take the girl to the hospital. Eyes here has agreed to our… offer." I didn't like the way he said that, or the way the other two men were now leering at me. But then Nizar, the green-eyed man, asked, "But, Aizu, what if he runs?" "If he runs…" the man I knew now as Aizu said, his gray eyes falling upon me, "I'll contact you and you will kill the girl."

The two men grinned as they too looked over at me. "All right then." Hojo said, walking pass me and picking up Rio roughly. I heard her let out a small whimper of pain and twisted around instantly, only thinking to help my fellow Blade Child. Someone wrapped their hand around my wrist though, stopping my assault. I turned to look at Aizu, the blonde Hunter, who stood behind me, a frown on his face.

"Now now, Eyes. I never said that we would be gentle." He chided, shaking a finger at me, "You should be glad that we're even letting her live. After all, both you and her are our sworn enemies." I knew that, but… I turned to watch as the two men left with Rio, leaving me alone with the final Hunter. I glanced back at the blonde, wondering if I could somehow incapacitate him and save Rio. He didn't look that strong…

As if sensing my thoughts, a smirk flitted across his face. "Don't even think about it." He muttered, massaging the wrist he held captive, "I'm a lot stronger than you think. Besides, you couldn't protect her in the hospital. Or did you forget what happened last time?" I let my gaze drop to the floor at the mention of last time. The last time that Rio had been in the hospital, not only had she been captured, but that annoying Yuazaki girl had also been taken. I had been in L.A. at the time, unable to do anything but wait for contact from Kousuke.

"Damn…" I muttered, snatching my wrist away from Aizu. He didn't stop me, even seemed happy that I was fighting back. "That's right Eyes. Don't give in so quickly." He purred, circling me like a jaguar, "I want to break you, make you submit to me, before the end." I stepped back from him, never taking my gaze off of him. "The end?" I asked, seeking to buy some time. He grinned, apparently glad that I had asked that question.

"The end," Aizu teased as he stalked ever closer towards me, "Or… your death."

It's time for twilight again,

The ultimate ending of the day.

When demons and shadows come out to play,

Making the world succumb to darkness.

To be continued…
