A/N: Hello all readers who still remember me! No I am not dead I promise! This is a lot different from what I normally do thought (I usually write HieixMukuro fics) and I don't normally like OC stories BUT I had this idea and couldn't just let it die! So be easy on me this will be my first YYH fic with a main character as an OC. Please leave a review and tell me how you like it, I have no idea how this will turn out...
Revenge:
Chapter 1: The Fire.
Fire was all I could see. The unnatural heat licking at my flesh made me scream in terror as I ran for my life. Smoke filled my lungs and I couldn't breathe, my voice being reduced to nothing but violent choking. My legs gave out from under me and I fell into the now melting snow. I watched the scene before me though my sight began to fail. I could see rather than hear the screams of my sisters around me, a shadowy figure engulfed in flames. He screamed something that I couldn't understand, my mother's voice echoed in my head and drowned out all other noise.
And I believe one day, he will come back for us all.
And then I fainted.
./././
The searing pain in my chest and throat is what finally awoke me. I bolted up right, grasping at my throat while I choked and vomited. When my breathing returned to normal I began to notice my surroundings. It was like I had woken up in an entirely new land though I could tell it was my home. Was my home.
The dirt was void of life, the frozen ground was too cold for there to be any grass and now that the snow had melted, everything looked wasted. The wood that held up our small homes were blackened from the fire and all around were the dead bodies of everyone I had ever known. Anything I had left in my stomach came up again.
Shakily I tried to stand. I was too weak from dehydration and smoke inhalation so it took a good five minutes before I was somewhat steady on my feet. I slowly began walking to see if there was anyone else was alive, my chest ripping apart every pair of eyes I found vacant. I began to run faster, desperately searching.
"Mom!" I cried, forbidden tears forming around my eyes, hoping against hope she would hear me, anyone would hear me.
"Somebody!" I stopped in my tracks, "Anybody…" I whispered looking around me and it seemed like all of the lifeless bodies had increased, suffocating me more than the smoke had. I slumped to my knees, and crystal tears spilled from my eyes. For the first time in my life, I allowed myself to cry. My chest felt like it was ripping in half and again I couldn't breathe. I held my sides hoping that it would hold me together and lay on the hard ground.
For what seemed to be hours I lay there, a pile of crystals forming. The soft feeling of falling snow barely registered in my mind. I let it bury me, imagining it to be the embrace of a loved one. Again I gained enough composure to sit up. Snow was beginning to cover everything, erase everything. Soon it would be like none of this had ever happened and only I was left to remember. Why me? Why am I not dead? What will I do now?
I thought for a moment, behind the shock of the events and the despair of its outcome, I felt rage. Feeling things I had never felt before rising up with in me. I wanted to kill this man who had destroyed everything I had ever loved. Well maybe not loved, but everything I had ever known. I felt utter hatred. I couldn't just sit here and wait to die like the rest of my people, no, I had to get away from this place, get healthy again, stronger.
I stood from the mix of snow and ash and took one last look at the fleeting image of a now burned world being buried with snow. I'd never been away from here, it was forbidden, but now there are no more laws to forbid. And so, I began walking.
I didn't know where exactly I was going to go, but I sure as hell wasn't going to sit there and be sorry for myself. I let one final tear fall from my face, the last one I will ever shed and strung it around my neck next to the one my mother gave me. Silently I promised her this, and that I would avenge my people was going to kill who did this to us. My mother told me he would come, she knew more than anyone else did.
I was going to kill Hiei Jaganshi.
