Hello there you lovely people, it's been so long since I have last published but now I am back with a sequel for "Lost Worlds".
We last left Valery and Hiei right after their wedding, declaring them queen and king of Demon World for the following 3 year until the next tournament. Action now taken place almost a year in the mix.
Enjoy :)
How much time can you spend being mad? What are the next steps that follow this terrifying downfall? Pain? Regret? Resignation? Rebound?
Do you wait or do you go? What risks are you willing to take regarding someone who might not even want to see you again? How would you deal with that? Would you cry, scream, curse out loud? Drop everything and turn your back?
What do you do when you can't even remember how you're gotten yourself in this type of mess? Like someone purposely erased your memories, the reason behind it. Yet they couldn't erase the feelings behind those memories, the struggles. And this is how you find yourself in a world that is not your own and know something is missing. But you can't go back and nobody is throwing you a safe line, a hint relating to the big question WHY?
Part of it you already know, keep a weapon away, seal off all doors, cut off all ties. Keep them all out of sight, out of mind, out of reach. Strip away all access to power. I am the queen of Demon World and I hate where I am now more than I hated being stuck in that realm. More than those creatures that lashed out at me. I am different, not welcomed yet something about me is inviting to them.
And now here I am, in a human body, getting old and with no access to what I used to be. You have got to be shitting me! And yet here I am sitting in one place, stuck, absolutely and from the looks of it irrevocably cemented in Human World.
I have made up countless scenarios:
1.POLITICAL
Spirit World who initially wanted this, were the ones who also in the end invoked a new exile for me under the premises of keeping me safe. However this can only have two outcomes.
1.a. WAR
The king is left to fend for himself against a new threat. If this is the case and something happens, I will destroy the very base of that rot filled world.
1.b. PEACE
Don't make me laugh. If me leaving would have automatically lead to peace this should have been achieved during my exiles.
2. FALLING OUT OF LOVE
Before departing to this shit hole he was adamant that he wasn't enough for me, good for me? Along those lines I promise. So guess what his "brilliant" mind came up with? What if me and the fox would somehow magically and overnight find something that NEVER fucking was there. Left me alone with him to try and prove his point. In his opinion I craved a normal, simple human life. Somewhere, somehow all this ordeal leads to my ex human interest. So Kurama looked like the best bet. Well now, no one asked me how I felt about it.
3. HE'S IN TROUBLE
Go see 1.a. – if whoever is up there forbid is not letting me engage in helping him, someone and almost everyone will not like what I'll do. As for saying, not much will be said.
Going back to point 3, he's safe, they all are. I end up by whatever forces in a remote area that I did not know, had no way of recognizing.
Inside a well-lit room the boys minus my own are waiting so I take a seat on an available chair somewhere overlooking all of them while I tried to piece together if I was dreaming or not. They aren't talking among themselves so it's clear we are waiting for someone else to arrive so I just sit quietly, not saying a word although I had a lot I wanted to say. This is not the usual reunion, they are all too serious. The only one who looks over is Kurama. Sad eyes, pity, compassion? I don't know what I am seeing. There's this tension in the air that I don't understand. Before I can even try to put my finger down on the exact mood, he enters the room and my heart finally feels lighter and hope fills me to the point I actually feel warm inside. It's been so long, months since I last saw him.
He scans the room with a straight cold face but doesn't even reach me. No eye contact, nothing. My best bet was he caught a glimpse of me in his peripheral vision and turned away. My spot was the only way he didn't look.
Right there all hope from before shatters. I can actually hear it breaking as the sounds of my beating heart echoes in my ears. My eyes shut so tight it hurts, kaleidoscopes of colors swirling underneath my lids. I feel like crying, I scream as hard as I can in my own head.
Somehow by just this brief interaction I know I have lost him. My very core shifts and bents with my inner struggle.
Opening my eyes and barging out of the room I hear Yusuke yelling behind me "Hey, this involves you too." But all I blurred out without even looking back was "I don't belong here."
Air, I needed air. I've known Hiei for years. I've seen him angry, annoyed, embarrassed, confident, but never this cold. He was calculating every move, every blink. He knew where I was and refused to look me in the eye or address a word in my direction.
A ragging voice at the back of my head keeps bugging me to the point where I would smack it because the owner of that voice is none other than Yusuke Urameshi.
Something urges me to go back. Now that I have calmed myself over the last couple of days it's shocking how we could all meet. They must have went through some trouble to make it possible especially since some worlds just can't mix at all and never.
I will be the better woman, biggest, how does that saying go? I will find a way.
More thoughts drowned my heart in more sorrow. I have never seen him like that in all the years we have known each other. My mind raced and my stomach dropped thinking of scenarios.
4. I'M TO BLAME
What if the portion I don't remember is missing for a reason? What if I did something unimaginable, something wrong, so bad that would eventually lead to the NOW?
Everything is drenched in a shattering silence. Yet recently whispers started crowding in and I don't know if I should trust them after all these months of uncertainty. I can't hear Hiei's voice at all, but I can hear the rest. Most that I can make out is that they are fighting.
Kuwabara, bless his heart, is yelling at the top of his lungs "She's your wife damn it". His love warrior act warms my heart, but his words fall on deaf ears. I didn't expect for him to be able to reach Hiei. The thought that he already gave up on me already spread like poison through my system.
Yusuke's voice rants on, mumbles and I can barely make out what he's on about. He's mad I left, but not at me. He's mad at Hiei for not saying a word or glancing over at me. He also received the silent treatment and I not surprised.
Whatever did happen left its mark on him, of course he's not keen on sharing how he feels.
