*~Chapter 14: False Appearances~*

   "I can't say." His face turned pale white, cold sweat coming down while he was still shaking. "I can't say! I can't!" He started to scream in fear and repeated the same words over and over.  Mona gave a scowl.

"He's totally broken."

 Hemnos gave a slap across the face to regain his senses. "Can you answer Mona's question?"

Razuka shook his head. "There's no information that's useful for you. I can't say anything."

"And why's that Razuka? Are you still serving them?"  Raine came from Mona's room to find the small crowd here. "Why can't you give any information?"

"I just can't. My powers are nearly gone, and I was said to say nothing."

"You pushed the button to release everyone, knowing the consequences! Why can't you say anything now??

"I just can't!! I-"

"Listen," Hemnos said sternly. "What matters now is the fact that they are on the move. More of the Disguisers have been dispatched and it's harder for humankind to trust one another. It wouldn't matter if you were here or there. Even though you're still serving them, they're still after your head. Since you escaped from the high cell with that important prisoner girl, they've had their eyes on you."

Razuka had a blank expression on his face. "Um...how do you know that? Even the Lord of this Realm couldn't possibly see in the demon world."

"Too much information, wouldn't you say, sire?"

Everyone was looking at him suspiciously. Hemnos began feeling a little uncomfortable as they were getting closer. "There's no need to be suspicious of me. Do you know why I had one of my eyes bandaged up before, Mona? Raine?"

 Raine nodded her head. "So, you could see more of the demon world right?" she asked.

"Right. Before, I was only limited to the sight of the human world. But now that I have a Sliek's eye, I can see their world more clearly...although I still can't enter."

Aoru looked at him with disgust. "You have a demon's eye in you? That's messed up stuff right there."

"It's my Realm and I'll do as I please. Now Razuka, If you don't want to say anything, that's fine, because I will fill them in."

Razuka's eyes grew wide with horror. His skin turned pale as he grew cold sweat. "She'll know....she'll know!" 

 "Last chance Razuka. Its best to tell us if you value your life."

 Razuka thought quickly on what could've been worse for him; being a prisoner, or the death sentence by his leader.  He quickly decided to value his life and tell what he knows.

"The last I remember, I escaped with Sara Nul. We parted ways after we went through the dark portal. I don't know where she went afterwards!"

Aoru grabbed him by the collar and pinned him on the wall. "Sara?! You didn't stay with her to protect her?!"

"It's none of my business, but it seems she was going to see someone! I really don't know anything, Honestly!"

"You're lying! You know where she is!!! Tell me where she's being held! You slieks are all the same aren't you?!" He was about to give Razuka a blow to the head

He looked away attempting to avoid the injury. "Not Sara...She's different from any of us. She still thinks there's hope for her corrupted people. She won't stop and you know it best, right?"

Aoru's face relaxed a little. He decided to try asking again more calmly. "Can you sense her or not? Can you check?"

"Sorry, but I can't. When I was in the high cells, most of my energy was asorbed by the bars..." Aoru was running out of patience. He threw Razuka to the floor and ran to Henmos.

"Hey! can't you try to locate her?! You have that demon eye now right?!"

"Please calm down!" Mona exclaimed. "That's not him!"

"W-what was that..?"

"His new eye is actually the object that links him and me! He still shouldn't see the demon world! That eye you see before you is actually glass!"

'Hemnos' gave a slow applause and a small chuckle. "Thank you for the information, I'll be sure to fill in the Mistress...and Aoru? Don't bother saving her. She's a goner, and you'll soon join her."

The Elite Disguiser's laugh echoed throughout the room as he sank through the floor to his base. Aoru became weak to the knees and fell to the floor *Sara...if you're out there....let me know if you're alright...please..* 

He then heard a voice in the dark.

Toro...I'm alright. I can't sense where I'm at, but I'm not hurt. It's kind of funny that they don't want to even get near me. But I'm probably at the Demon world. Please wait for the others! I don't like it when you're too reckless...

When he woke up, he saw Raine sitting by him. "Oh, you came to. Glad to see you awake now. Are you feeling well?"

    "Ugh...I' not so sure." Then Sara appeared in his mind. "Sara! I have to go save Sara!!" He was running toward the portal that seemed open, but she quickly grabbed him before he ran inside. "Are you insane?! Mona is the only one that can pass through without dying in there! I tried going in there but I almost died the second I went in." 

"I'd be willing to do anything for her. She's one of my best friends and I don't want to lose her again!!"

"Even if you plan on destroying your own life?"

"Hell, yeah! I'm not the type who sits back on everything!" Raine gasped as he broke through. "I better inform them!!" She rushed out of the room and tried to explain what's going on. 

"That guy is crazy! Did you try telling him about what would happen?"

"I couldn't get through to him! I-I just couldn't!" She started to break down and cry.

 "...I'll get him...." Razuka said.

Hemnos and Mona stared at him. "Mona's still recovering from the last visit right?  And I'm pretty much the only other person who can actually go in there unharmed. I won't be able to fight though. "

"Go for it..."

"Mona?"

"Look, I still don't trust you, but you're here for a reason, and we're running out of options."

He didn't have to hear her twice to run through the portal. As Razuka left, the rest of the small group came, with Blaze in Sunoco's grasp.

"Are we late?" Shissou asked.

Sai gave Shissou a smack in back of the head as a response.
