New Home

Weeks later, Kyoko was getting prepared to leave the castle. She wasn't going to stick around any longer. She was going out to live in the woods to find out what was after her and Dawn without endangering the people in town. She had food and clothes packed and supplies for making the cave in the forst a bit more homier, but that was it. As she was taking the last steps to leave town, she bumped into a shady figure.

Dawn saw Kyoko bump into a tall figure who he recognized right away.

Kyoko backed away a bit. "Oh, I'm so sorry. . ." She murmered a she walked past the figure's side, but the figure grabbed her shoulder, keeping her from walking on.

"Dang it! let go of her!" Dawn kicked the man in the face. "Run Kyoko! Get away from here as fast as dang possible!" Dawn yelled a new type of fear and anger on his face.

"Dawn. . .?" Kyoko let off a puzzled face. She obeyed his orders and ran into the forest.

"FATHER!!!" Dawn yelled as he was thrown threw five trees.

Kyoko was walking quietly when Dawn burst through a tree beside her. "Oh, my. . ." she rushed to Dawn's side. " What the heack is going on here?!" she asked impatiently.

"Urk...Get far away from me....Remember, how I said..urk......My family tried to kill you and you're father....That..urk...was my dad...Sent on a mission.....To...urk...Kill you.....Ack..." Dawn said slowly getting up.

"Well, don't fight him! Come with me and we'll set a trap!" Kyoko wouldn't let go of his arm.

"Don't even try..." Dawn said, but ducked and pulled Kyoko down with him just as a axe sliced by cutting more trees. "Get out of here now." Dawn said.

"Ugh, Dawn. . ." she sighed. "Just this once. . . from then on I'm sticking by the fight. . ." she said as she dashed off.

Dawn got up but was sent flying as a machete slammed into him.

Kyoko heard the crack. "Screw this!!" she shouted as she ran towards the fight. She approached the sight of a weakened Dawn, almost unconsious and his father.

The Father's body strated to make crunching noises, his flesh coming out of his skin, skeleton pbones coming out of the flesh. The father turned into a gruesome monster.

"Ugh. . " Kyoko growled. She clutched the sword at her side. With a quick glance at Dawn, she thrust the sword forward, red ribbon cut off of the edge as she drug the heavy blade on the ground.

The monster raised it's Giant arm gun to the face of Dawn and gave a weird evil skeleton smile. "Touch me and he dies." It said with it's mouth closed.

"Then what do you ant me to do. . .?" Kyoko asked the monster confidently, clutching the sword tightly at her side.

A third arm reached and grabbed a sword and swung it at Kyoko. "I want you to die!!!" the monster said.

Kyoko dodged and looked into Dawn's unconcious face. "Dawn, you can't always be the hero. . ." She looked at the monster. "And what will you do when I'm dead?"

"Continue to kill." The monster said, slamming a sword into Dawn blood gushing out of him, his face turning pale.

Kyoko gasped. "Dawn!!" she screamed. Tears started to well up in her eyes. "If you spare Dawn and the rest of the citizens of this town I'll let you kill me, fair enough?!"

"Ha, Even after I kill you i'll kill everyone else." The monster said cutting one of Dawn's arms off.

"But I won't let you kill me. .. " she said calmly, quite affected by the 'delimbing' of Dawn.

In an instant Kyoko was on the ground blood splattered all over her, her arm cut off. "I am everything. I can control everything." The monster said.

Kyoko was weak, but she managed to laugh. "You control everything. . ." she began, "But you cannot control my ghost. . ." Kyoko stopped breathing.
