Voice of the Blood red lioness
&
Tears of the Blue Phoenix
Opening my eyes, I awoke in darkness. Glad you've finally awakened my dear now the fun can truly begin.Looking around I saw no one. Whose there, I whispered, a laughter echoed from the darkness. Don't be afraid my child I won't hurt you, in fact Yuzu you can say that I'm your friend, actually where closer than that I've been a part of you for so long you can say that I'm actually you. I've been here my child watching you, the very whispers in the dark you're afraid of your every little fear. I'm even the thought's you've refused to hear, the reality you refused to accept. The sad little existence, that barrier, the sad excuse for a life you had I was there whispering what you truly wanted, your every need, your every desire. What are you talking about? My dear child I'm talking about the truth, you know inside you're pathetic. There's no reason for you to be alive. You don't do anything, you're weak you hide from what you choose not to accept. You know that don't you that deep inside your nothing, your useless.
The word's echoed from the darkness; till it was the only thing I could hear. Stop it I screamed. Covering my ears I shook my head that's not true. Really, than tell me what is? I shook my head I don't know. Once again laughter echoed from the darkness. When have you ever known anything? After all you never knew that this life you had. You're pathetic sheltered little life, was just a lie.Lies, I screamed tears running down my cheeks.Really you're family has been lying to you for years and you haven't even noticed. Well even though you have you chose to ignore it act happy, and say it was for Karin, who didn't care, Ichigo never there who were you trying to fool but yourself. Shame you can't even admit it now that you're alone. Enough that's not true, I sobbed feeling the tears roll down my cheeks, I looked up what do you want from me. Really Yuzu my dear all I want is the truth? I looked up into the darkness now, feeling nothing but anger. And just what is that I yelled why you don't tell me what is the truth. I know dearest Yuzu but it's for you to tell me. I screamed I've had it tell me where am I, I want to go home I sobbed. You can only go home once you have admitted the truth. I sobbed I want to go home to Karin, Ichigo and dad. I want to go home, why are you doing this to me? The reason Yuzu is because I want you to admit the truth. And by the way my dear your time is running out. I looked up again this time feeling nothing but anger, what do you mean? Well my dear you see all of soul society, your brother, you're father there all gone. Disappeared just like dust in the air. Again I heard laughter you're whole world is gone well not all of it at least, Karin's still alive but the way things are going for her she'll be gone as well, just like a spark to a flame. Except her flame will sadly go out and you'll be left all alone. No, no you're lying I screamed once again. Really am I, look here my dear and you see the truth in your fear. The voice rang out once again laughter echoed from the darkness and an image appeared at first it was blurry but cleared up. What is this I sighed, wiping away my tears? It's what you desire to see and it's the truth my dear but can you accept it? Staring at the image it was like a scene from a battle, standing in front of a portal, was dad, Ichigo, and a boy I had never seen all dressed in black. His snow white hair drifted in the wind. Walking through the portal they all seemed to be saying goodbye to someone, dad who was last to go turned around his face like a mask covered in shadow. He was looking at someone following his gaze I saw Karin, standing beside her like Ichigo a woman with strawberry colored hair had an arm around Karin. Karin whose face I could see clearly was crying, no sobbing tears rolling down her cheeks. Dad stood there staring at her and though I couldn't hear him, looking at Karin I saw her smile, tears still rolling down her cheeks. Why was she, looking at my dad I was able to read his lips that's my girl. I shook my head no, no, this can't… Looking at Karin I could see her face it was like she was dying, I knew that look it was a look I saw every day when I looked in the mirror. Her face was blank except for the look of defeat in her eyes she had given up. With the smile she had given him before, I could see what she was trying to hide. The smile she had given him was mine, everything every expression I could read clearly she was acting as though everything was ok, like nothing had happened.
She was showing him who he wanted to see, and that person was me. Karin, Dad, no turning around he waved. Goodbye Karin, as tears rolled down her cheeks, he took a drag on his cigarette and looked to the sky. Turning back around once he smiled looking at the woman, he smiled take care of her, she nodded, I promise. Turning around he walked into the portal. At that moment I screamed, Karin ran forward then but she never made it to the portal, she had fallen and unlike every moment in her life when she had fallen she didn't even try to get up. A bright light suddenly flew out of the portal like a wave. No, Karin I screamed running forward, the image seemed to tremble as it was engulfed in light blinding me, rubbing my eyes I shook my head. I sobbed letting the tears run down my cheek. Dad, Ichigo, Karin there all-No, don't look away my dear look, standing on a roof not from where the light had just been was, the woman in her arms was Karin. I was suddenly filled with hope, but looking at Karin all of it was swept away. The image seemed to focus and then pause as it zoomed in on her eyes. No longer was there a look of defeat in her eyes, but a look I had never seen before. It was a look that caused a wrenching sob to escape from my lips and the heart wrenching scream that like the laughter before had echoed into the dark. Karin though she was still standing and alive in front of me, the life had faded from her eyes; it was like she was dead. She had died in front of me and I could do nothing as I stared into her eyes. There was nothing there, staring at her face even though she was looking at something else I could hear her voice, there's nothing left. Shaking my head I covered my ears, lies its all lies. I sobbed why, why are you doing this?
The reason is because I'm trying to help you the only way by doing that is for you to except the truth. And before you ask me what that is try rephrasing the question I can't tell you what the truth is you'll know it once you accept it, and you'll be able to leave. Now, try again instead of believing every little word I say listen to the truth, listen to yourself. I sighed looking up I can leave once I accept the truth, right? Yes you can, I looked up alright I just have to accept the truth I said wiping away my tears. Alright is there a chance that I can save her, that I can save Karin? Yes there is the voice suddenly sounded closer. And how do I do that, I heard the same mocking laughter the same way you get out of here. I sighed breathing by accepting the truth, I sighed. Now my dear it's not so much how you ask, its do you want to? I looked up, what do you mean? And here I thought we had finally gotten over this. Do you want to save her? Slamming my hands into the ground, no I understand what the hell you're asking. It's what you're asking. Of course I want to save her she's my sister and without a doubt I love her. Why wouldn't I want to save her? Now where getting somewhere my dear, are you sure you're not saving her out of fear and not out of love. Are you sure you're not saving her because you feel like you owe her. Maybe because you feel like you have something to prove. Or maybe it's just different altogether, maybe you hate her, and you're only doing this because you don't just hate her you're jealous of her. I looked up jealous of Karin, I repeated, no I'm not I'm proud of her. Are you sure you don't want her dead, that you don't want to kill her you're self? No I don't I love Karin she's my sister. You keep saying that my dear but do you mean it? Yes, yes I do, I wouldn't do anything to hurt her. Lies, once again the words echoed from the dark. How am I? You say you don't hate her that you wouldn't hurt her? Yuzu how could that be when you're the reason you're here. You're the reason she's in pain, why she's dead. Laughter echoed once again, you even said you don't hate her, that you love her lies. I couldn't take it slamming my hand into the dark. I growled enough shut up you say all these things but just how the hell do you know that it's true. Finally an answer I will enjoy, the laughter suddenly grew closer once again as though it was right behind me, turning around I gasped. That's right Yuzu like I said I'm you.
Staring back at me was an exact image of myself. Except instead of my yellow dress, she was in white, everything else right down to her hair looked like me. You see Yuzu I know what you think; I know what kind of person you are. Cause I'm you and I know what you want. What you refuse to accept and what's that I said. The truth, stepping back she laughed and her voice echoed spinning around she stood there now and I fell, her once white dress was now red her face her hand's every part of her was covered in blood. You want blood my dear and not just anyone's blood. You want Karin's…
I know well actually this is kind of longer than the other but hey if you don't understand what's going on just message me and I'll clear it up hope you like it –sincerely Amami
