Tossing and turning within the small bed the light blue head kept moving as the nightmares of old came to cover her sleeping mind. Events and people came back to the Kagami as she lay there; faces, sounds, gestures, gentle touches, and harsh beatings. All fresh in her mind despite the years that peeled away slowly for everyone. “Ruto…” Quickly she sat up panting her crimson eyes darting around the sparse home where she lived.
Sweat poured from her forehead as she panted slowly coming back to reality from the haze of sleep. Raising a hand to her chest she placed her fingertips lightly above her heart on her bare chest. “He is not.. here. Just more nightmares.. about things I cannot control nor change.” Her words where only to the unspoken demons that surrounded her in her own mind. Moving her hand from her chest to her head she began to rub her right temple. Closing her eyes the events of that day flashed through her mind.
Mimikku stood beside the tallest saiyan in the room. The mammoth of a man was barking out orders and she was there to stand and watch all of his men. See who it was that might betray the councilman that was her master and lover. Her eyes darting around the room as she kept looking for the unmistakable glint of a blade or telltale whir of the start of a blaster. Sure there was security within the building and around Ruto and herself but she was always his greatest secret. As her size and demeanor usually kept people off guard around her. As most saiyans would consider her to be to small, to innocent, and would not have the ability to kill as she was but a Kagami.
Though the first man who had underestimated her wound up a sliced up mass of a man. She had been trained to be ruthless when it came to combat by her longtime master. Just as she kept him grounded with her actions and the attention that she showed off the battlefield to him. Many would swear that the Kagami and Saiyan where to be married but much to Mimikku’s sadness Ruto had fallen for a human girl who at this moment was pregnant with his child. That thought stuck inside of Mimikku’s head as she saw a glint come up from a man as he approached to come talk with Ruto.
A quick flash and a a scream then gurgling noise could be heard as the man drew his blade and moved toward Ruto and then his neck was cut with expert precision. About ten feet away from the man Mimikku had a blackened blade that dripped blood off its edge as Ruto let out a laugh as the man slumped over and onto the ground a large knife clattering to the ground beside him. “Good work Mimikku I knew there was someone that was going to take my…”
Suddenly he was cut off as several of the men surrounding him had stabbed him in the chest. Mimikku’s eyes widened as he looked at her. The look in his eyes was to her to run. Opening his mouth he breathed out the command and Mimikku turned to run. A female saiyan stepped in her way and swung a punch toward her. Spinning using her speed to her advantage she sliced up the female ‘s arm and spun away sliding through the doorway she had tried to block. Her crimson eyes where stinging with tears as she ran the cloak covering her quickly discarded to the side as she had to make it to her space pod.
Landing at the space port she noticed that the ones who had attacked Ruto had sent someone ahead as there where several people standing there guarding the two pods. There was two people standing over the ready to launch pods and only three guards between her and escape. Closing her eyes she stood out from the shadows her white saiyan armor the jet black blade in sharp contrast to her entire body as she raised it. One of the saiyans saw her and pointed. “Theres his Kagami. Take her down boys the one who does gets to keep her. So says our boss.
The trio of men charged at her the one in the rear stopped and began to concentrate his ki as the other two rushed in to engage her in close quarters combat. Deflecting the first kick with the flat of her blade she was not in a position to stop the disarming strike that came in from the side which caused her blade to go spinning away from her causing Mimikku to begin to fight then on their terms. Her strikes where not as strong as the male saiyans but she was more agile. Dodging the kicks and punches the men threw at her though their attacks would be dodged barely and it was showing as her armor was being chipped away until there was no real function left to it. After receiving a kick in the side the man who had been standing behind her released the ki he had been gathering in a blast right at her.
The impact of the ki blast sent her flying across the room and slammed her into the far wall. Busting her lip wide open and she felt some internal injuries from the impact as she staggered to her feet. “Well well she is a feisty one. Look at her stand even after everything we sent at her. Little lady just give up and let us just take you in. As his property you now belong to our master.” Glaring at the man Mimikku’s crimson eyes looked like death incarnate as she looked for her blade. The blade lay some ten feet away from the current fight and she knew that she would need some assistance to reach the blade and to retrieve it.
Lowering her head she closed her eyes as she muttered out a prayer to the goddess. “My daughter do not worry as I am here for you in your time of need… Now go and escape with your life.” The words of the goddess echoed in her head as Mimikku’s speed increased by four fold and she managed to get past the men and to her blade. Stopping in the air above the blade her hair was changing to a light blue and her skin bleaching slightly as the power of the goddess poured into her. With a furious burst of power she pushed forward landing beside the man who had hit her with a ki blast. In what appeared to be a single strike with her blade twelve distinctive cuts appeared over his body and then his body fell apart blood pouring out from the sliced up portions of the man’s body. Turning the now coated with blood blade she pointed it toward the two men that stood there flabbergasted at her speed and brutality. In a haunting voice she spoke up “Run away little boys. With the blessing of the goddess neither of you can stop me from escaping. Tell your boss to never come after me or his men and women will start being sent back to him in ever decreasing sized containers…”
The haunting reverberation belied a rather angry and volatile combination. One of the men turned to run while the other turned toward her and did not run away. “I am not afraid of a little Kagami. I am going to claim you for my own just as my boss will allo…” His words where cut off as Mimikku was upon him her finger covering his lips as shelooked him right in the face her own face twisted as she spoek up. “Shh.. Shh… IT will be alright. Let this ‘Little Kagami’ take care of you. I mean.. you have been nothing but nice to me…”
Her blade had moved to just behind him and as she spoke she angled it and pushed it into his back slowly til it hit his heart. All the while she looked him in the face with a twisted smile on her face. Though as shortly as she did this she felt a sudden exhaustion cover her body and she flopped down to the ground from her floating position and the man fell to the ground with her blade in his back. Staggering to her feet she reached over grabbing the blade which she quickly cleaned off using one of the fallen men’s cloaks. Arriving at her pod she hit the opening switch and fell into it. As the computer asked destination she spoke out “Earth… Long way.. and do.. not let… any track us…” Her words came out before she passed out from exertion that came from using the Goddess’s blessing. She had sworn to do something for Ruto should he be killed and she was going to do it. She was going to protect his unborn child.
Opening her eyes she looked up at the blade that hung over the doorway. A slight shiver came over her as she wrapped her arms around herself. Despite the decades since the death of Ruto she felt it was still her fault and she paid for her ‘freedom’ in his blood. She had kept up her end of the bargin as she had protected Ninjin as a child and now the young woman had left the village a strong woman. Every now and again the old scouter that she had she would press to try and find Ninjin with it. Though she knew that the time had come to seek out the young half saiyan and tell her the truth of her father and his death. But she knew that leaving the village would be something to be done after the mornings sun rose for everyone. It was why she had next to nothing left. Yawning she laid back down and closed her eyes as sleep will reclaim her soon and the day she had been expecting would be here. The day within she tells her ward the truth and she hopes that she don’t wind up screwing all of this up was her last thought before falling back asleep.
