Bab 70: The monster
Unique part
I quickly tore my clothes to make a tourniquet on Emi's arm.
-Hika... run away... I'll be fine, you're squeezing too hard Hikaru it hurts... my love run away, I need you to get away from here....
Emi was smiling at me, but it was very hard to see in the state she was in.
-I'm not going to leave you, I love you Emi.... Fucking monster, Hide, I'm going to make you pay for all the shit you did.
-No Hika, you can't fight him... get back...
Aki tried to grab my arm to stop me, but he didn't succeed, he just went through me.
Without thinking I ran towards him without any plan, I gave a little jump so that my blow had a little more weight, but from one second to another, Hide's excited face changed to one of boredom, with a single movement of his arm, he made me cross several floors upwards.
At the place where I was now, there was a bloodstain.
-Hikaru...
Emi started crying and screaming.
-I'm going to kill you... I'm going to kill you... you piece of shit!
Emi was barely standing up, but she looked at Hide with total hatred.
-But why so offensive my dear, it's not my fault that the dwarf is a wimp....
Aki hit the loudest scream I've ever heard her, the whole building began to shake, a strong shockwave emanated from her that even made Hide back away, a dark mass like tar covered Akari's disembodied body, to the point of covering her entirely, the only thing that could be differentiated in that black mass were two white circles that were like eyes.
-But my dear, what a grotesque thing, but interesting you are, tell me how you manage to put together so much darkness, what principle of law do you occupy?
No, don't tell me, I want to find out....
From Akari's hand was formed a kind of repulsive black whip, that with a single movement of her arm hit Hide with a single blow, making him cross several floors down, Hide had finally provoked a scream of pain coming from his mouth, she had given him a blow so hard that nothing more was heard from him, but Akari didn't stop every intelligible scream that he launched made the whole building shudder, she was holding her hands to her head while she writhed.
-How am I alive?
I coughed up a mouthful of blood, Hide made me go through three concrete ceilings, I must have been crushed by the blow he gave me.
-Fuck, stupid, tell me what the fuck were you thinking Hikaru?
I turned to see what he was talking to me....
-Colmillos.
-Yeah, your superhero on duty... -Yeah, your superhero on duty... How this hurts, if I hadn't taken the hit for you midget you'd be dead.
Colmillos got up from the ground, when he did, I could clearly see how his ribs went back to where they came from, which was disgusting to see, but he had saved me, I wasn't going to complain about this.
-Thank you, I'm serious.... What was that?
I heard Akari's scream as much as I saw the whole building shake.
Colmillos peeked over the edge of the hole we went through together because he interfered right with Hide's punch by getting in the way.
Colmillos watched as Aki easily took Hide down.
-I'm sorry Hikaru... But Akari lost all control.... Believe me my friend I... I don't want to do this... But if I don't do it she'll bring the building down on us, forgive me for what I have to do.
-No, stop... Ahh...
When I managed to get up from the ground, which was a complete suffering thing to do, Colmillos had jumped down, I approached towards the hole with a lot of pain, so much that tears were coming out, I heard my ribs cracking for every step I took, until I could peek out, but what I saw was horrifying I knew that that black thing was Aki, since it was similar to the time it almost turned when you were fighting Matsuo.
-H...i...ka...ru... Aki screamed in pain or so it seemed in that monstrous voice coming out of her mouth.
Colmillos had fallen in front of her, she turned her head to look at Akimoto.
-Are you alright Peach?
She barely nodded as her body still shivered from meeting Hide.
-Don't worry my child, I'll finish this and take you to Sonar and then....
-Hikaru!
Akari moved her strange body, one of her arms stretched out like a whip attacking Colmillos directly, an attack even so fast that even Colmillos couldn't dodge, the blow as such was so far reaching that it caused a hole to open outwards.
Where Colmillos once stood now only a mutilated foot remained along with a smear of blood.
Akimoto screamed in despair, to her eyes she only saw Akari move and from one blink to another where Colmillos should have been there was now only a foot left, she didn't understand very well what happened, but she understood very well that the bloody foot that was in front of her was her friend.
-Hikaru. -She screamed again, with every scream the building shook, new cracks were born in the walls for every movement that arose because of Aki's fault.
-Akari... I'm, I'm your sister...Emi... I guess this wasn't how we wanted to look at our first time... But things never turn out the way you want... I don't know where Hiakru is... But he sure is... Well... Sorry, I think I got a bit unconscious, so I don't know why you're like this... But I do know that he's fine... I can feel it... My child.
Hikaru. - She screamed again.
Aki stretched out her arm, her hand opened and stretched out as if it was a huge mass that enveloped and squeezed Emi.
-Aki... Stop it... My arm hurts a lot... I assure you that we'll get out of this...
-Emi... what did you do love?... You... Colmillos... I failed... I couldn't protect you... But I'm going to bring you back...
Without thinking I threw myself down the hole.
-Here I am Aki!
I had dropped down to land with my head on top of her.
The black mass that was Akari now looked where I had thrown myself, from her body came out a bunch of black tentacles that stopped my fall leaving me in front of her.
-Aki it's me sweetheart... I'm fine.
One of the tentacles caressed my cheek, with the arm I wasn't holding it did the same with it.
-Hikaru...
-Yes honey it's me my love, I'm here, I need you to let Emi go, she's suffering.
Slowly Aki was responding to my voice. She very slowly put Emi on the ground releasing her.
-Hikaru we have to calm her down or else the building will come down on us and we have to bring our girl back.
-Don't worry Emi, I'm on it, get to a safe place.... Aki me
-I would if Aki would let me go....
-Shit...I'm fine you have to relax, just put your mind at ease..... I swear everything is fine Aki.
I felt a shot pass close to me, passing through Aki without harming him.
-That thing killed Colmillos...
-Akimoto, stop, I beg you... I...
-You what Hikaru, you can't do anything, you can't change the fact that Akari killed Fangs, that thing is a murderer.
Yui Akimoto's words hurt me, because just today I had to be damn right, but that wasn't going to stop me.
I finally ignored Akimoto.
-Aki love, look at me, it's me... You can bring me closer to you.
-Hikaru!
She pulled me closer to her, I didn't have to think much about what I wanted to do, it wasn't like I could think of anything else.
I approached my mouth where I thought Aki's was, when I got closer, the black mass that wrapped her body was opening to reveal only her mouth, I kissed her, it was something very different, when our lips met, a feeling of fear and anxiety tried to take over me, I had to fight a lot against it until I lost myself, our minds connected for some reason.
Aki was in a fetal position constantly repeating my name, where I looked there were giant pieces of broken glass that showed memories of them and me separately, you could see moments like her bet with Akimoto, I saw in another one my memory of when Emi kissed me when I was drunk, another piece that passed in front of me where I had my first kiss with Aki, before everything happened.
There was one that caught my attention, one that made my heart skip a beat, Aki was listening behind her parents' door, she was listening to an argument between them where her mum was blaming her for the.... loss of her little brother because of all the stress she caused him because of her illnesses, which she had no idea about, she didn't even know she was sick, the father was arguing with his partner, telling her how can she say a thing like that, after that Aki was leaving the place crying.
-So it wasn't a subject she was hiding, liar, but I understand why she didn't want to tell.
Then I looked at another one, but this time it was one of me, the day Emi found me in the forest, it was quite blurry, but for some reason Emi had her clothes torn, and several burns, I was naked too with more minor burns, I must have been about 11 years old and Emi 13, it wasn't something I would like to see again.
I approached Aki, first of all I hugged her.
-Aki I'm here, safe and sound.... Well more safe than anything.
She kept repeating my name without even looking at me.
I grabbed her face, it was as cold as ice, I forced her to look at me, her eyes were totally lost in nothingness.
-Aki, it's me, don't do this to yourself, I need you.... I know that with you I can achieve things that normally by myself I can't, I've been lying to you all this time, I'm not strong without you, I can't get ahead, you, Emi, Asuna and Marcus are the best things that have happened in my life, I beg you, look at me... I...I'm a fake...
My tears were falling from my eyes as if I had turned on a water tap.
-I would have been happier if you had only named me.
-Aki...
Abruptly I lifted my face to see her, she hugged me on the spot.
-I was so scared Hikaru I thought I lost you... -Aki?
-Everything is alright Aki.
I kissed her closing my eyes, when I opened them again I was next to her in the building, Aki had recovered her normal form and at least for the moment I could touch her and she could touch me.
-Welcome back Aki.
-Hikaru... Don't do something stupid like that again.
-Yes sweetie...
Debris flew everywhere, something giant had broken through the floor.
Each one of us who were there became mute, going back to being in a nightmare.
-Did you forget my children, your dear Mr. Hide came back to continue our dance?
That monster was laughing in a lunatic and disgusting way.
