Kuro
Noose Pt. 1
“Where’s
Cherry?” Spike asked coldly. Ed couldn’t answer. How could she?
“Here
I am, my lord.” a voice spoke up. Spike and Ed looked up. Cherry stood
in the
doorway. She had a blank expression. Spike felt a little better. He
took out a
copy of the “map”. Cherry stepped closer. “What is this?” the cowboy
asked. The
cupid-chan examined the “map” closely. Silence passed on.
“It
is…” Cherry spoke up. Spike’s pulse raced. “A map!” the cupid-chan
exclaimed.
*Spike falls to the ground* “I know that, stupid!!!” he yelled. Cherry
grew
scared under him.
“Calm
down Spike,” a voice said behind them. “You have to be more specific
with her.
She doesn’t know any better.”
Spike,
Ed, and Cherry turned to see Jet himself standing in the doorway. Alas,
the
cavalry had arrived. “Jet!” Spike exclaimed. “What are you doing here?”
Jet
smiled. “I came to help.” he said. “And Ume came to get her freedom.”
“Yay!!!
Jet-Jet to save the day!” Ed perked up. “So come on!” the old dog
yelled. Then,
he headed out the door. Spike grabbed hold of Cherry by the wrist.
“You’ll be needed
on this mission.” the cowboy told her. Then he dragged the cupid-chan
away.
Back
in Yuji’s apartment, the hacker priest was setting up. Yuji had Sakura
sitting
on a wooden table. Wires were plugged into her arms, shoulders, chest,
hair,
and legs. She was dressed in a simple white cotton gown.
“Why
do I have these wires in me?” the tenshi-chi asked. “Because my dear,”
Yuji
began. “They help me look into data about you. And besides, they look
kinda
cute on ya. Almost like, ribbons.” Sakura kept quiet.
“Now
that my hack program has started,” the priest went on. “We can start of
search!” Then Yuji clicked start on his laptop and the work began.
Spike
once again continued his search for Sakura in the skies. Cherry was
going to
play the guide of the map. This map could lead to Sakura.
Then,
the communicator came on. “Spike!” Katsuko yelled as she came through.
“Katsuko.” Spike said. “I’ve decided to help.” the kid said. Spike fell
into
silent joy.
“I
know who kidnapped Sakura.” Katsuko replied. Spike’s head jerked up.
“Who?” he
asked quickly. Katsu showed him Yuji’s bio. Spike read it quickly. Here
was the
cobra he was going to kill if Sakura’s hurt in anyway. “Here is his
address.”
Katsuko said. Spike studied it well. “That is the dot on the map!”
Cherry exclaimed.
Spike froze in shock. Here was his connection now. “Hang on Cherry!”
the cowboy
yelled. Then Spike sped Swordfish up! The cupid-chan screamed aloud.
“Kawa
and I will guide you as well.” Katsuko spoke up. “Got ya!” Spike
replied.
All
was going well for the trip halfway to Yuji’s apartment. But then, it
all
happened again. “Do I turn west here?” Spike asked Cherry. No answer
came.
“Cherry?” the cowboy asked. A numbing silence followed. Spike turned to
see
Cherry out in a complete daze. Her gold eyes were blank. Spike wanted
to shake
her out of it but he had to fly Swordfish.
“Cherry!”
Spike yelled. The cupid-chan was gone hard. Spike turned to the
communicator.
“Katsu,” he said. “Cherry’s gone out and I can’t get her back. Do I
turn west
yet?” “Yes.” the child genius spoke up. “I’ll check with Kawa for
more.” Then
she went on standby. Spike turned west.
Katsuko
began to start up standby again. “You’ll have to do double duty with
guide
Spiegel-san.” she said as she turned to her “brother”. But to the kid’s
dismay,
Kawa was out in a deep daze too. “It’s her.” he mumbled. “I hear her
voice…”
“Who? Whose voice?” Katsuko asked. But she received no answer.
Sakura
herself was in a daze. She was slipping deeper and deeper into it. Her
dreamlike waves in her threw the hack program off hard. Fuji was
worried. But
Yuji didn’t notice.
“Ah
yes, my dear!” he exclaimed. “My other mystics can’t tap into you yet.
But that
will soon change. I will know all about you, Amadeus’ child.” Then the
hacker
priest walked towards her. He lightly set his arm around her. Yuji then
did
something completely stupid!
He
slid his other hand beneath Sakura. Yuji worked his hand into her
panties. But
when he tried to touch her entry, two wires in the tenshi-chi’s arms
grabbed
him tightly. The priest grew startled. The wires then threw Yuji
against a wall
violently, knocking him unconscious.
Fuji
watched closely as she too fell into a daze. “You are not him!” Sakura
yelled.
It was fiery and harsh. Kaze-san was speaking through her. “You cannot
touch
me!!!” the tenshi-chi yelled.
Outside,
Swordfish had landed. Spike was following the remainder of the trail.
Damnit!
How was he going to find Sakura in this place?
Then,
there it was! The great light that was seen from Live Dreamers’. Right
then, Spike
had found Sakura again. “Hold on Sakura!” the cowboy thought. “I’m
coming!” Then, he ran towards the light.
