Memory 32
Memory: "You hate me, right? You want to kill me, right?"
Category: Neutral Neutral
Game Won: Day 143, Kanra
Pages: Chapter 22, pages 26-33
Description: This shard immediately follows another that was previously received; Ama-Inu's body still thudding to the ground as the memory begins. The evil god that struck him down transforms back into the form of Mana's boyfriend, who immediately stumbles over to free her from the chains, unable to focus on anything but her. Kaoru watches him limp forward, and smiles.
What an amateur mistake.
Kuga's sword is through his chest before he even realizes that the man has moved behind him. He seems so surprised to find himself impaled, it's actually hilarious. To come all this way, and fight so hard, and possess such immense and overwhelming power, only to be stabbed in the back a few mere feet from his love! It's the greatest joke Kaoru's ever heard, and as Mana's panicked cries give way to choking sobs of despair she can't help but laugh out loud.
"Your prince just died," she says gleefully. Her voice is breathy with excitement. "Are you sad? You must be sad. You hate me, right?
You want to kill me, right?"
There is a single moment of deafening silence, and then Mana lifts her tear-streaked face to meet her eyes. Kaoru's heart threatens to tear itself still-beating from her chest. The girl doesn't need to speak at all; the answer is in those eyes. She can feel it, the crashing waves of anguish and grief and the anger- the all-consuming, endless anger. You hate me. You hate me.
You want to kill me.
Kuga, still standing over the boy's lifeless figure, shudders deeply, his grip on the sword suddenly shifting of its own volition. He takes a step forward against his will, and Kaoru hears the spike of panic in his mind. "Master! Get away! She is...mindbreaking me!"
His hands raise the sword even as he struggles wildly against Mana's control, lifting until it is straight and level with her throat. He continues to shout, telling her to move, fighting with every ounce of his willpower, as she stands her ground, utterly impassive. So close now. Without really thinking about it her chin tilts up ever so slightly, obligingly giving him a better angle. His words have muffled to silence against the pounding of her heartbeat in her ears. Her breath hitches and she imagines that she can feel a scrape of the cold tip of the blade against her neck. For the first time in years, she feels something akin to real peace. So close...
"KIRIHARA!!"
Kuga drops the sword immediately as Mana's concentration is drawn to the sound of her name. There's shouting and movement from that direction, but Kaoru hears none of it. She can't take her eyes off the blade, a strange numbness seeming to radiate from the spot where it had almost cut her.
It feels like disappointment.
So close.
