Song Used: Within Temptation – What Have You Done
CHAPTER 1:
What Have You Done
Yamidoragon was in another kingdom, slaughtering everyone. Hikari was beside him, watching everything with sadness. She looked over at her love.
He was laughing maniacally as he destroyed everything in sight with So'unga. For the past few days he'd been doing nothing but… this. Slaughtering everything – humans, demons, half-demons. It didn't matter who or what. If it was in his path, it was dead. She didn't think he'd hurt her, or his family. Not even the soon-to-be born Inuyasha. But the princess he might, if not now, then after his brother was born.
It had finally happened. So'unga had nearly completely consumed his heart and soul. The worst of it was… it'd been to protect. To protect her, and to protect her dear father-in-law, he had willingly given in to So'unga to call on more of its power. It had worked, with Yamidoragon's help, Inutaisho had managed to destroy Ryukotsei before his own demise.
But shortly after…. So'unga had engulfed her beloved more and more.
Yamidoragon looked over his handiwork as it was finished with a twisted smile. The houses were all burned down around them. Blood flowed like a crimson river over the land. Corpses of innocent people were everywhere. The scene was ghastly underneath the new moon, and the night was unbelievably beautiful at a time like this. The smell of death and carnage reigned. The silence was deafening.
"Beautiful, is it not, my love?" Yamidoragon asked her. "So'unga loves it. It's practically singing." He laughed.
She looked back at him with overwhelming sorrow filling her. "That's enough now. Stop." She was still holding on to hope that he'd come back to her. But did he even realize he was gone?
"Enough?" Yamidoragon laughed again at that. "There's always more of the world to be destroyed. This is only the beginning. Let's go."
He started to head for the next village or kingdom, whether demonic or human, he didn't care. But she couldn't allow it. She'd stood by enough. As a priestess, it was her duty to stop evil. Even if it would rip her heart to shreds.
Would you mind if I hurt you?
Understand that I need to
Wishes that I had other choices
Than to harm the one I love
Yamidoragon paused as So'unga was ripped from his grasp. He smirked. Hikari…. She was trying to get him to stop. "Do you really think-?" He broke off in shock as he began to feel his soul being ripped from him. He spun around.
What have you done now?
Hikari held the sword, using her vast training to use her spiritual powers to hold off So'unga's evil aura. It was trying to corrupt her, but she was strong enough to easily resist it. Her hatred of this cursed sword helped, made her spiritual powers increase.
Hikari tried to reason with him again. Maybe now that he wasn't holding the sword, he would listen to her. "This stops here, my love. Please. I want you back. Get rid of this sword before it ends you."
Yamidoragon backed away. "It's not the sword. It's you. What are you doing?"
I know I'd better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now
Hikari shook her head, holding back tears. No time for that now. She used her spiritual powers to draw his spirit out of his body and into the sword, where she would seal it. Please forgive me, Yamidoragon. But this bloodshed could not be allowed to continue. She forced herself not to stop as he began to cry out in pain.
Yamidoragon sent a blast of his own power at her. She groaned as it hit her and ate threw her, but she wouldn't stop. He'd hurt her. That thought burned through her mind.
I know I should stop believing
I know there's no retrieving
It's over now, what have you done?
What have you done now?
Yamidoragon attempted to fight her. But even now, he didn't want to hurt her. He couldn't. He still loved her more than anyone or anything in existence. Was it because he was a demon? Of course a mortal couldn't love him. Let alone a priestess. Father, do you see now? A life with a mortal is a fool's dream. Izayoi will end up betraying you. Sesshomaru, you're on the right track. Inuyasha, never fall into the trap of love with a mortal. Especially not a priestess. She'll betray you.
Hikari….
I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What have you done now?
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done now?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done now?
Suddenly his rage took over. As much as he loved her, he also hated her with a fire that burned through his veins. He could feel the bitterness of betrayal engulfing him. He wanted her to pay. He wanted her dead.
Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to?
'Cause you have
Turned into my worst enemy
You carry hate I don't feel
It's over now, what have you done?
What have you done now?
Hikari hated herself for this. She dodged barely when he slashed at her with his claws suddenly. She saw the rage and hate in his eyes. You may hate me now, my love. But I will always love you. Always and forever. But it just wasn't meant to be.
I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What have you done now?
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done now?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done now?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
Damn it! Yamidoragon slashed at her again, missing. He was losing energy. But he wouldn't lose this fight. He couldn't. He was a demon, she was a hated human. As the son of two great daiyoukais, he could win this.
I will not fall, won't let it go.
We will be free when it ends
I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What have you done now?
Why, Why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you
Hikari cried out as her luck ran out. He lethally slashed open her side and she fell to her knees. Even then, she kept up the spell. He collapsed as the last of his soul went into So'unga. She used the last of her strength to seal him in, where he would remain forever.
I'm sorry, Lord Inutaisho. I'm sorry, Lord Kai. Sesshomaru, I'm so sorry. But I had to do this to him. Yamidoragon, my only love, I love you so much. I'm so, so sorry I let it get this far.
I love you.
Hikari closed her eyes and crumpled to the ground as she died.
Yamidoragon lay on the ground, staring up at the night sky. Why do I still have consciousness? Aren't I in the sword now? A very small part of his soul remained in his body still. Is this how it's going to be? Mostly trapped in my own sword and partly trapped in a body I'll forever not be able to move?
But he was back. No longer in the sword's evil clutches, he understood. He had lost himself. So many people gone because of him. Hikari lay dead because of him. He couldn't even look at her. He'd struck down the woman he'd loved above all. She must have died hating him. Hikari, I'm so sorry. Forgive me. I'm back, Hikari. Just as you wanted. And I love you.
I love you.
I've been waiting for someone like you
But now are you slipping away
What have you done now?
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you
