NashvilleDream Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 [b] Prologue[/b] Suzaku was the final and most formidable of the four saint beasts, which also included Genbu, the rock, Byakko, the white tiger, and Seriyu, the blue dragon. A barrier formed by the Spirit World long ago encircled them and the city below them. When the barrier was erected, the Spirit World hoped that it would prevent the demons from entering into the human world. However, Spirit World is blind to much, and there is little they grasp. Suzaku was the leader of the saint beasts, and there were demons in the human world. This is what the Spirit World knew. What they did not know was that Suzaku had a sister, and immensely potent emotions. One day, many decades after the erection of the barrier, she fell ill. Her condition continued to deteriorate, and he had no alternative. To stop the disease, he was forced to put her into a temporary dormancy, and he swore revenge on any and all who had caused it. It was later that he learned the disease was caused by the barrier around the city, and it was then that he sent a letter to Spirit World telling them to take down the barrier, or suffer the consequences. They dispatched the spirit detective, Yusuke Yuremeshi, who was accompanied by Kazuma Kuwabara, and sent Suichi Minimoto, otherwise known as Youko Kurama, and Hiei to help. Kurama defeated the first saint beast, Genbu, retained a wound to his abdomen, and Kuwabara barely defeated Byakko, the second. The group reached Seriyu, and Hiei made quick work of the Blue Dragon, as they called him. Suzaku, now aware of the power of the group, dispatched the cultivated humans. He knew now he would not survive the encounter, and they would not hold them for long. He needed to see to the safety of his sister. As he stood over her with his hands on the container and said his goodbyes, he cried the only tears he ever shed. He did not know that in her sleep, she heard every word he said. When he walked out, he sealed the chamber, protecting her from what he knew would come. He knew he went to his grave, but he vowed to try his best, and he did, and failed. He tried and died. She knew, and it was not long after his defeat that she awoke. And what she found was not something she ever wanted to see. [b] Chapter one[/b] [b]Learning of loss[/b] Kaiya awoke to a sense of great and terrible emptiness. When she left the chamber, she knew why. She saw her brother and ran to him. She turned him over and cradled him in her arms as the last threads of his life broke and his spirit drained away. She held his lifeless body and cried. She cried until she had no more tears and still she held his body. She held him close to her, rocking back and forth. She could not bring herself to leave his body, which was beginning to grow cold. The time passed and finally, she left his body, filled with death. She watched that boy kill her brother and her friends, the ones who had taught her all she knew, and swore she would find them. She knelt by her brother?s body one last time, kissed his forehead, and whispered, ?I will miss you, my beloved brother.? She escaped the city; by the same hole the Spirit World had made for the spirit detective and the rest of the group to enter it, and into the human world. She would find that boy; she didn?t care if she died trying. He had murdered her friends, her mentors, and the only family she'd ever had. He would pay, with his life. [b]Chapter two Hunting[/b] The human world is something I'll have to adjust to, Kaiya thought as she flew above the buildings of (name of the city) or perhaps it's being awake that causes the inhibition of my normal abilities. Like her brother, she was highly educated, well mannered, and good-tempered with a kind and gentle nature. Usually. But now, with her mind so entangled with anger and bitter hatred that were quickly breeding many thoughts of revenge that grew and spread at an alarming rate. There was a storm approaching, a big one, she could feel it. Kaiya had not yet gathered enough strength to take that kind of bashing. Though many of her abilities had returned, she still did not have the abilities that the others or her brother had taught her. She needed to find shelter before she was caught inside. If her instincts had not been still numbed, she would have been able to realize this sooner, giving her the time she so desperately needed, but did not have. [b] Chapter three A chance encounter[/b] Black. Everything was black. There was nothing, only sounds, and something didn't quite fit. Where was all the noise? "Are you alright?" asked a kind voice "She's alive, isn't she." responded another voice, sounding slightly annoyed "That's more than you can say for most of the others who got caught in the open during that." Kaiya opened her eyes to a pair of emerald green ones. ?I think so. Who... are you?? Kaiya asked. "My name is Kurama" The young boy with very red hair replied, "Care to introduce yourself?? He asked over his shoulder, smiling. Kaiya followed his gaze to see another boy, shorter than this one, with black hair, red eyes, and a bandana covering his forehead. "Hiei" he stated, and then returned his gaze to the other direction. "He doesn't talk much" Kurama informed her. From the direction Hiei was looking came a voice that sounded like the owner had an abnormally small brain "Yo! Kurama! Did you and shorty f-" The owner of the voice was abruptly on the ground, twitching Hiei?s fist where the boy's face was only a second before. Before the high school student behind him knew it, he was on the receiving end of a very large blast of energy, and Kaiya was struggling to get free from Hiei and screaming "I'll kill you! You murdered my brother, you killed him, you're a murderer and you killed him. You took the only family I had away from me and I swear I'll kill you for it. Yusuke Yuremeshi, I swear I'll kill you! Damn you Yusuke Yurameshi! I?m going to send you to HELL? But recent events had left her energy lacking, and she collapsed almost immediately after conveying her message. Hiei laid her on the ground. ?Yusuke? Kurama said, almost like a question as he knelt by her face, ?Look closely at her face. Who does she look like?? Yusuke walked over and knelt next to Kurama. ?She looks like? Suzaku? Yusuke replied, confused ?But? I don?t understand. How? ?Perhaps? Replied Kurama ?It would be most advantageous if we take her to Genkai?s to recover, and then ask her.? [b]Chapter four[/b] [b]The dream[/b] ?Kaiya? A familiar voice echoed ?Kaiya? ?Kaiya? ?Sister? This made Kaiya open her eyes. She was in the castle, and all of her friends were there too. But, how can this be? She thought. Was it all a dream? No. It was real. This is the dream. But, I don?t care. Here, my brother, my precious brother, is alive! ?Suzaku!? Kaiya exclaimed as she ran towards him and clung to him, as if, by doing that, she could make him real. ?I?ve missed you so much.? Kaiya whimpered ?My little sister? he replied. ?Kaiya? ?What brother?? ?Why do you seek revenge on that boy?? Suzaku asked her ?He took all of you away from me, He?s the reason you?re gone, he? he?? Kaiya shed the tears clinging to him now that she thought she had already cried holding his dead and dying body. Suzaku knelt on the floor, holding his sobbing sister close to him, giving her the comfort she could now only find in her dreams. ?Kaiya, my dear little sister, everyone has things they have to do, and everyone has things which they are unable to, and they cannot forget, nor forgive themselves. Everyone has a reason for the actions they take, even if their actions cause undesirable effects. I know you want to remember, but forgiving does not mean you have to forget. Yusuke?s death will not bring us back, nor will it do anything to ease your pain. You know what it is like to lose those who you love, and you don?t want to cause others that kind of pain. I understand you want to blame someone and hurt them, but in the end, the only person anyone ever has to blame for their problems is them self. Try to understand this Kaiya, my sister, and do not seek to harm. Your very name calls you to this; you are forgiveness, my sister, so forgive. I love you, Kaiya, my dear sister, I always will. I will be watching you.? As Suzaku spoke these words to her, the four began to fade. ?Our time together has come to an end. Sayonara, my sister.? ?I?d like to see you again? Kaiya called after them. ?You will? Suzaku responded. ?In your dreams? ?I?ll be waiting for you? Kaiya called aver him ?I?ll be here waiting? In a room in a house in Japan, a girl asleep began to stir, only the black-haired demon noticed, he was the only one who was not lost in a deep slumber, though the soft rays of morning?s first light would soon wake the sleeping city. [b] Chapter five[/b] [b]The beginning of understanding[/b] ?Yusuke? Yusuke?s dream faded into a surrounding of white as his most recent enemy appeared with his back to Yusuke. ?Suzaku, what are you doing here, get out of my head? Yusuke shouted, ?What the hell do you want from me?? ?I want you to take care of my sister? Suzaku replied, turning to face the raven-haired teen who had defeated him. ?That?s ridiculous!? Yusuke replied, ?How can I take care of someone who wants to kill me!? ?She does not want to kill you. She merely wants to mourn her friends and family, but she cannot do that with the hate that fills her heart, and that rage will not go until you set things straight. You need to tell her how you saw it. Before you do that, go back to the city of ghosts and apparitions, in the chamber where you defeated me. I will remain with you, and give you instructions when you get there, take none with you, and tell no one where you go.? And with that, Suzaku turned and walked away, fading just as the dream had, and how the white was now fading again to his dream. [b] Chapter six[/b] [b]Righting the wrong[/b] Kaiya opened her eyes to find herself staring at a ceiling, and as she sat up, a sleeping black haired fire demon. She paid him no mind as she left. She walked until she found a pond, then sat on its banks and cried. ?Why are you crying?? said a gentle voice. ?Because my brother, who was always kind, was murdered,? Kaiya replied. The man behind her gently wrapped his arms around her, and she turned and quietly sobbed into his chest. ?I?m sure he wouldn?t want you to cry, he?d want you to live for him.? The man stated, ?Kaiya, I know the boy who killed your brother, and he wouldn?t have done it without a reason. He?s gone back to pay his respects and see your side of the story? Kaiya slowly stopped her sobbing and looked into the eyes of the fire demon. ?He?d do that for me?? she asked. ?Yeah, that?s just how Yusuke is? ?Yusuke?? ?We?d better be getting back, they?ll be wondering where we are.? Kaiya nodded and followed Hiei back. [b] Chapter seven[/b] [b]Healing the pain[/b] Yusuke looked around at the damage, at what he had done, and sighed. ?No wonder she was mad, look what I did to her brother. He quietly went over to the large screen, ?Kurama said it should be around here?? He watched her past play out on the screen ?I see? so that?s why?? [center]~_____~_____~ [/center] ?Why would you help me?? Kaiya asked Hiei, ?After what I did?? ?Everyone has reasons for what they do, sometimes those reasons are hidden, even from the one who has them.? He replied. ?I don?t understand. I tried to kill your friend? so why?? ?Because I care about you, so don?t you even think about killing yourself.? Hiei told her as he held her. ?You have no reason to now.? ?My brother told me that I was the strongest person he knew. So did the rest of them. They all thought I was strong. And? I still don?t understand.? ?The said you were strong because you are. You have a very strong mind, you just don?t know it.? ?I thank you, Mr. Hiei? Kaiya said as she walked away from him. ?There?s something I have to do now, I?ll be back soon.? And with that, she was gone. ?She?s really something isn?t she? Kurama said as he walked up behind Hiei. ?Mr. Hiei eh?? ?Shut up.? He replied ?I don?t need you to tell me about my feelings.? ?Really? What are your feelings then?? ?Hiei turned to look Kurama squarely in the eyes. ?I love her.? He said, and walked off into the woods. ~________~_________~ Kaiya walked up behind Yusuke. ?So? you know now.? ?Yeah. I?m sorry for? your loss.? He replied, head down. ?Don?t be; it was his choice. I wish to lay the past to rest now.? She said as she walked through the door and out of sight. ?Odd girl?? He said to no one. ?Better get back? ok, so the chapters are kindof.... pathetically short -_- Alright... so it's sortof more of a short story isn't it........
