Yay! chapter 2 hehe thanks to all of you who read and reviewed the first chapter! enjoy ^-^
I took Yuunagi from its sheath and quickly got into a defensive possision infront of Konoka. My father laughed and looked down at me cruelly, "I'm surprised at you Setsuna, reacting to your father in such a way." I heard Konoka gasp quietly.
My father was dressed in the normal attire of the bird tribe, his black wings were spread wide, his crimson eye was cold and focused on me, and his long black hair covered his other eye. I glared up at him, i no longer considered him my father, he and the whole tribe had left me because my white wings were a bad omen. To them i was half-demon filth, even my parents hated me. "What are you doing here?!" I growled up at him.
A smirk crossed his face, "Cant i see my own daughter? Even though i could barely reconize you with that seal. Why would someone seal away what you are?" I flinched. Why does he have to say these things infront of Konoka?! I looked back at Konoka and saw her staring at me with wide eyes. I quickly turned back to my father.
"Why would you come see me after you left me to die?" I snarled, i knew he wasnt here for visiting.
"Heh, come here Setsuna, why dont you show who you really are?" His voice was commanding and very loud. I took a couple steps back to show that i was not going to come to him. He growled deeply and disappeard. I shoved Konoka away so that she wouldnt be hit as he reappeared behind us. I spun around and slashed at him with Yuunagi but he was too quick and he grabed hold of my throat squeezing tightly. Damn! "Now then, what shall we do about this seal, hm?" His claws cut into my neck and a huge amount of pain surged through me as a bright light enveloped us. I let out a scream as it felt like all of the bones in my body were being broken. "Heh, thats more like it," i heard my father's voice break though the light and my pain. Once the light vanished, I felt myself being thrown through the air. My back hit something and i fell to the cement with a sickening noise.
I lifted my head to look at my father, he had a smirk on his face again. "I'll be seeing you again Setsuna. I hope to find you in a better condition to fight than this, because if you lose to me, you lose her." He pointed over at Konoka who was in tears. She flinched away from my father. He laughed and disappeard again.
Damn it! Why does he have to do this?!! I pushed myself up to my feet and stumbled slightly. White hair fell into my face. White?! I grabed a lock of my hair and stared at it in disbelief. He broke the seal? H-How?! My nails had grown into claws and i felt a breeze on bare back. My wings were out too, pulling my shirt up. I gasped and looked over at Konoka again.
"S-Secchan??" Konoka's expression and her voice told me that she was terrified. I flinched away from her. She isnt going to except me now...She'll leave me just like everyone else. I felt my eyes burn with unshead tears. 'Its better this way.' a voice told me. I knew the voice was right. I turned away from the woman i truely loved and ran. I ran as fast as i could, until my feet couldnt carry me anymore, at that point i flew up high until I finally stoped myself.
I ended up in an unfamilliar forest, far from the Mahora dorms. I sat down with my winged back against a tree and closed my eyes. Konoka's face instantly flashed into my mind and her voice called my name softly. I bit my lip, trying to hold back the tears i felt forming in them once again. Kono-chan... The tears still streamed down my face dispite my efforts to hold them in.
I stood up and walked over to a small watering hole, and kneeled down, looking at my reflection. I was fully transformed back into what i originally was. My eyes shined a deep crimson color, the same as my father's. Sadly. My hair was pure white as it fell loosely on my shoulders and huge white wings came from my back. I shut my eyes tightly and sat back, i couldnt stand to look at myself any longer. I shook my head and swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat. I fell back out of my sitting possition and fell onto my back. I bit back a scream as pain hit me, and pushed myself back up. I opened my eyes and tilted my head up to look at the sky which was no longer the light blue of the afternoon, it was now in shades of pink and purple. Did i really run for that long? I looked down at my feet, the soles of my shoes were worn down.
I let out a shakey sigh, got up, and stumbled back over to a tree. I turned and fell against it with my back. I let out a small growl of pain and I put my face in my hands to try to calm myself.
I suddenly felt something wet hit my lets, I raised my head out of my hands and looked up at the sky. It was raining. Of course. I let the raindrops fall onto my face as i stared up at the sky blankly. Soon my mind wondered back through the events of what had happened today. From seeing Konoka this morning in her dorm, to the fateful kiss we had shared in the dressing room. A smile spread across my face along with a slight blush. Kono-chan, I miss you already... Fresh tears joined the raindrops that were sliding down my cheeks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Now the day has come.
We are forsaken this time.
We lived our lives in our paradise,
As gods we shaped the world around.
No borderlines we'd stay behind,
Though balance is something fragile."
"Secchan..." Konoka cried in my arms as blood swelled from her wounds. I frantically put my hands on her wound to stop the bleeding but it wouldnt stop. I called out for help but there was no one, there was nothing, around.
"While we thought we were gaining,
We would turn back the tide, it still slips away.
Our time has run out, our future has died,
There's no more escape."
"K-Kono-c-chan!" My voice echoed into the darkness as i brought my free hand up to cup her face. My tears fell onto her bloody cheeks, she looked up at me with desprite eyes. Her eyes filled with tears as she called my name again, her voice was weak and raspy. Her hand grasped my shirt, "Why...Secchan..why did you do this to me...." her words sent knives through my heart. W-WHAT?!! I gasped and took my hand from her face as her eyes turned accusing.
"...The sacrifice was much too high,
Our greed just made us all go blind.
We tried to hide what we feared inside.
Today is the end of tomorrow."
"K-konoka?!!" I screamed as i felt her body go limp in my arms. Her accusing eyes turned blank and closed halfway. No...Her body suddenly started to disappear from my arms as i sat there motionless. NO! I let out a scream of agony so loud that the darkness acted like glass and shattered and was replaced by a very dark crimson and chains that bound me to the spot. A maniacal laughter reached my ears as my father came into view.
"As the sea started rising,
The land that we'd conquered just washed away.
Although we all have tried to turn back the tide,
It was all in vain..."
I lifted my head to look at him with a growl. His laughter stoped as he reached out a hand towards me, then clenched it into a fist. Suddenly the chains that had wraped themselves around me tightened and cut into my skin and wings. I snarled and rebeled against the chains, trying to get to my father. You did this! I'll fucking kill you!! My father's blank expression became amused and he walked up to me, grabbing my chin. "You killed her, not me..."
"...We are forsaken..."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I jumped awake at a rustling of bushes. I grabed for my sword out of reflex, only to realize that I had left it behind when i ran off. I stood up quickly and crouched defensively as i stood infront of the direction where i heard the noise. The bushes rustled again and i readied my claws to attack...until it actually came out of the bushes. It came crashing into me, with the overpowering scent of blood. My eyes caught the sight of brown hair and the familiar, comfurting scent broke through all the other smells.....K-Kono-chan?!
