Becuase of me
A RG Veda Fanfiction by Andia
Disclaimer: I do not own RG Veda, the wonderful women of CLAMP do. I wish I did though...
Anger
Hatred
Death
And Peace.
I watch slowly as the sun sets over Tenkai's northern lands, casting a great red and orange shadow over the destroyed village of the Yasha clan. It lays in ruins now.
Because of me.
Yasha calls me from behind, Karura and Ryuu struggle to keep pace with Yasha and catch up with the tall warlord. I turn...and see no one. 'Of course' I think bitterly. 'It's your fault they're all dead.'
Because of me.
Yasha could have made it...he was badly injured but he had a chance. If the Kekki had not found me, I would have been able to save him. Karura and Ryuu, dead either by my blade or Taishakuten's. I do not remember which. But in my heart I truely know.
Because of me.
'Kujaku! Ryuu! Yasha! Karura! Sohma! Kendappa!' I silently cry, yet my eyes shed no tears for their deaths. No, I truely envy them. They found peace at last.
Because of me.
I take off running as fast as my long legs will take me, trying my best not to trip with this new body but some strange grace helps me balance. Still it will be a long trip to Ashura-jou, to Zenmi-jou. At times like this I wish I had wings like Kujaku did. And then I remember, that Kujaku can fly freely now.
Because of me.
Trees are just a blur now. I know I should slow down, not tire myself, but I can't stop running. Like I want to escape the song invading my heart, the screams echoing in my mind, the flames burning my skin. Those screams and that song will always be there.
Because of me.
Taishakuten, is he still alive? I never knew if he made it out. Tenoh...my brother still lives. Sashi...a taunting memory fills my heart as I remember that night when I was young. Sashi is dead now.
Because of me.
'You do not belong here! I wish you had never been born!' Her screams fill my head and finally my legs collaspe beneath me. I tumble to the ground and lay there amoung the soft vines, crying. Oh how I wish I could let my soul float away with a small sigh, to become dead as the others. My friends are dead though.
Because of me.
Pushing myself to my feet, I shake off any signs of weakness and continue forward, at a slower pace. A few butterflies flutter past, sending a pang into my heart. Aizenmyou-Ou, do you still envy me now, as my shinning hero no longer stands at my side. Maybe he wouldn't have died if I had let him stay with you. But then you wouldn't have found peace in death.
Because of me.
Shatro hums lightly in my cold viens, as though trying to warn me of something. I pay no attention to it, trying as hard as I can just to breath with all this pain and guilt on my shoulders. Tenkei has a promising future.
Because of me.
