Don't Let Go, I Need You

~22~

His words brought tears to my eyes. I hate how selfless he was and how he carefully spewed out words which targeted my feelings. My brown eyes were stinging in pain before it let out my tears. But my sobbing face was quickly taken over by terror—my eyes widened as my jaw dropped to the floor. This happened too fast; I didn't have time to register anything.

Plop!

Megumi fell on his knees as blood leaked from his mouth. There was a protruding blade sticking from his chest. We both were in shock from this turning situation. Megumi slowly cranked his head down to see the blade too and stared up at me. I couldn't tell what emotion he felt but I knew he was scared as well. This was so unexpected.

"Kana, oh, Kana..." Behind Megumi was Geto who pulled the weapon out of him, making more blood spill on the ground.

"Megumiiii!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I scrambled over to him. My hands were over his wound to compress any blood from escaping. If I had my ability then I could've healed him really fast. "Don't die on me!" Heavy tears dropped on his dazed face. It looked like he didn't quite understand what had unfolded. He was still trying to figure out how Geto had slipped past us.

"That's why I did that to you. You're just so weak. Attachment makes people weak and getting rid of your ability was the key to take over this world... but you again interfered by killing your own mother, Kana." Geto said in contempt, circling around me with evil and disgust written in his eyes. "How could you kill your already dead mother? You ruthlessly stabbed her in the head. Isn't it hard enough for your mother to suffer again? She had a short life, and now she had her only beloved daughter kill her."

An insane smile cracked on my face. Did he really try to make me feel horrible about myself because I killed my dead mother? I honestly don't know what to feel. I'm not in the right state of mind to reflect what I did. All I cared about was the safety of my living friends. "Don't try to tell me about my actions! You're not my dad! You're an imposter! You put on a show and now it's over!" My last resort was the curse removal dagger inside my coat. I can use this against Geto, but I have to find a way to get closer to him yet not die at the same time.

"Well... You figured it out already?" Geto grabbed the string on his stitched forehead and pulled it out, revealing the real host taking over my dad's deceased body. "You were fun to toy with because you're Geto's daughter and close to the sixth eye user: Gojo Satoru. It would've been amazing to see Gojo devastated if I were to carry back your dead body to him when I had the chance to actually kill you instead of letting you live."

Whoever this mastermind behind this petty game, I wanted revenge for me and my dead parents who shouldn't have to suffer because of him. However, I'm freaking useless due to the fact I'm not a sorcerer. I have no power to change the tide, and Megumi was losing lots of blood from the stab wound hitting his vital organ. He really put me in a tight situation.

"Now it's time for you to die and see your real parents!" 'Geto' lifted up his weapon with a crooked smile plastered on his face and slashed downwards. He's only having mercy on me because I'm powerless and I can't see curses. It's his own pleasure of watching me agonize through physical force instead of his own power.

As the blade was slowly coming down on me, I had nothing to intercept the weapon because if I were to use the dagger, it would break in an instant and I needed that to kill 'Geto' in the head. Gritting my teeth, I made a fast solution and it was to use my own body. I could care less about bleeding to death because I'll take down this imposter with me. We'll both see hell together.

At the same time, a big gasp left my lips when things didn't go according to plan.

Slash!!
